Problem with Desktop Shortcut not functioning properly......(FIXED)

Hello,
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but I did and this is how i fixed it. Just FYI!!
The problem was, when i installed itunes 8.0 for Vista 32..... It seem to install fine, but the problem came about when i clicked the desktop shortcut that itunes installs. Every time i clicked it, itunes wanted to reinstall itself. All I did to fix it was, i went to *Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > iTunes* and found the iTunes.exe file; right clicked it; selected *Send To* and then *Desktop (create shortcut)*. It fixed the problem and now works perfect.
I hope this helps someone. If i posted this in the wrong spot i apologize. I'm a forum newb!

There is an item or two that are in the area of the navbar that may be interfering with it. Select all of the items in the area of the navbar, to just above the first text box and remove the drop shadow. See if that won't get it working again. What font did you use? If you use one of the Web Safe Fonts you won't need to go the drop shadow route.
Happy New Year

  • Problems with iMac G5 not starting properly

    Hello!
    I am having troubles with my iMac G5 + iSight. It will only start in safe boot, and when it does it has some funny lines across the screen.
    I know that it is not a hardware problem particularly because it used to boot fine sometimes and then only in safeboot.
    I am wondering whether it is a firmware problem, or I need to reinstall the OS. I think it is a firmware problem because when I press option key on startup, that has the funny lines as well, so it may well be.
    If anyone could please tell me where I can download a firmware updater/reinstaller and how to do it, I think it may fix the problem.
    Thanks!

    I do not know why your iMac has lines on it.  As for not booting in normal mode, there are lots of cauuses for that. None of the causes has to do with firmware.
    I suggest you take it to an Apple store.
    I am having troubles with my iMac G5 + iSight. It will only start in safe boot, and when it does it has some funny lines across the screen.
    -- I do not know why the lines are there.  May indicate a problem with lcd. 
    -- Could you try attaching another monitor to the iMac.  there is a mini-vga port.
    I know that it is not a hardware problem particularly because it used to boot fine sometimes and then only in safeboot.
    -- how do you know this?  Working in safe mode doesn't use the video chip.  Normal mode does. Bad video chip is suspected.
    I am wondering whether it is a firmware problem, or I need to reinstall the OS. I think it is a firmware problem because when I press option key on startup, that has the funny lines as well, so it may well be.
    -- You like to rule out hardware problems.  My reading would be this is an indication of a bad lcd or cabling.
    -- I'd re-install os.  Could be a corrupt hd or bad hd.  I'd erase the entire drive & reinstall.
    Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

  • Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

    Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

    Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

  • Problem with lookup xref not happening Properly

    Hi All,
    we are facing an issue in lookup xref.
    Sometimes the lookup xref happens correctly and sometimes we get empty value from lookup xref even if the xref table has data properly populated.
    Check the below 2 cases.
    CASE-A:
    This mainly happens in the following scenario:
    BPEL A (Populate xref with itemid)------------> ESB ---------->BPEL B (lookup the itemid from the same xref)
    1)     The xref table is populated in a BPEL process A.
    2)     Payload passes through ESB and reaches BPEL B.
    3)     In Process B, we try to look up the same value populated in BPEL A, although the data is inserted in lookup table, it did not get committed to DB as it is a single flow.
    This issue is occuring intermittently due to which the entire process is failing.
    Hence , Request you to let us know how can this issue will be resolved.
    CASE-B:
    Where as Lookup works properly in the following scenario:
    BPEL C (Populate xref with itemid)<---> BPEL A----------> ESB ---------->BPEL B (lookup the itemid from the same xref)
    1)     BPEL A calls BPEL C.
    2)     The xref table is populated in a BPEL process C.
    3)     Control comes back to BPEL A.
    4)     Payload passes through ESB and reaches BPEL B.
    5)     In Process B, we try to look up the same value populated in BPEL C, now the data gets committed.
    We are facing issue with Case-A due to which the entire process is failing. Hence, Request you to let us know how can it will get resolved.
    Thanks

    Hi Narendra,
    Are you still having this problem?
    Just in case you are:
    Please check the descriptor properties of the ABCS processes
    Are they async or sync? If 'sync' make them transaction 'required'.
    Cause: The lookup fails at Provider because there is no data in the XREF_DATA (or ur custom xref table).
    The ReqABCS is inserting data into the table but actually will not Commit it until the Provider has successfully completed.
    If the processes are async or have a savepoint then you should be able to see the data in the xref even before the ProvABCS call and the problem shouldnt occur; however if its sync then all the processes must be in a single transaction for xref data to be "visible" at ProvABCS.
    --thanks

  • Problem with Desktop Shortcuts and icons

    I have a customer with a Windows 8.1 machine, all up to date and no virus issues,
    Her Desktop icons display the file size not the name.
    This happened suddenly with no known reason, she did have some screen problems (hardware) which meant she needed a new screen, but that was not problem.
    However no matter what we change (and we have been everywhere!!) I cannot find anywhere where you can change the properties displayed!.
    We have disk checked in case of some kind of corruption, we have created a new user, that 's the same, changed file/folders properties fonts etc. etc. nothing seems get the files names back?

    Hi,
    Did this issue occur for all desktop icon or specific one?
    It sounds like it might be caused by the video card. Update the video card driver and rename a file kindly to check the result.
    If the issue persists, following the guide below to rebuild the icon cache

  • Is anyone having problems with iPhone 5 not vibrating properly when receiving calls? It seems to vibrate once and stops?

    When receiving a call, my phone only vibrates once even if its on silent or not. I have checked all the settings and all appears ok. It works sometimes and doesn't other times. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
    Thanks

    Maybe your buzzer gets stuck when it vibrates? Try playing it by creating a custom vibration. Does it keep working properly then?
    If that works, try setting up another vibration that should be played when someone calls you.

  • Problem with desktop shortcuts

    I often put various files on my desktop and then delete them when I no longer need them. Recently when I right click on the Acrobat file a blue circle just spins and I have to end the operation with Task manager. to delete a file I have to drag it to wastebasket which is ok but it means I have to open the file to check which one it is.

    Hi philipfoxe,
    1. I am not a software program, I am as human as you are.
    2. I can help you with this issue, if you provide me the information I am asking for, I couldn't interpret your issue, because I don't see any obvious question in your post.
    Please revert back with the information I have asked in my above question.

  • Has anyone had a problem with thunderbolt cables not fitting properly?

    I recently purchased an UA Apollo Duo interface. It is thunderbolt equipped. The thunderbolt cables either fit super tight in the interface or not tight enough on the macbook. In fact it fits so poorly on my macbook that the slightest jiggle will disconnect the interface! Not good. The thunderbolt ports on my macbook have been unused up to this point so its not a matter of them being worn out.
    I'm surprised this wasn't more standardized.

    Not here;  updated three systems without issues.
    Can you provide more details on your system specs, the projects you're referring to, and what kind of behavior you're encountering?

  • Problem in wad  is not functioning properly

    hi,
    in wad i created a input box there i am giving the value <24.07.2007
    but in the report i am getting values for 24.07.2007 but i dont want values for
    24.07.2007
    <24.07.2007 is acting like  <= 24.07.2007
    how to fix this in wad
    is there any other way to give using boolean operators.
    please suggest me

    Please try executing the supporting query by itself and see if you get the same behavior.  Also, if you are trying to input the actual character "<" then that won't work.  You would only be able to have the date as input and the "less than" filter would be applied in your query filter.
    Hope that helps.

  • Keynote problems with keyboard shortcuts

    Is anyone having problems with keyboard shortcuts not working with Keynote?  Had this problem (and a host of others) since the upgrade to Mavericks and the latest Keynote.

    Hello,
    I can replicate all by problem number 1. Once the PDF loads, I can use the arrow keys to scroll up/down. All of the other problems you mentioned haven't been implemented.
    You're certainly welcome to send feedback to Apple, though!

  • HT4623 The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back to the main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on how to fix this - all software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no other updates are

    The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this?  The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

    This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
    Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. Please Help!

    The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. In its place are a random assortment of keys (Ex - u = "eqrw" or "IOUY"). This randomly happened when logging back in after sleep mode. No liquid damage at all. Please help!

    OK, I fixed the problem by doing a SMC (System Management Controller) reset as follows:
    1. Powered off my MacBook and removed everything connected except for the power chord.
    2. When powered off, I held "Shift" + "ctrl" + "Option" + "Power button" for 5 seconds or so until the little light on the front started to blink rapidly.
    3. Powered up my Mac, which took a little longer than usual to start and tested the "missing" keys which now works perfectly again.
    Just added another couple of years usage with my aging mac :-)
