Problems with H&R Block software

Using H&R Block Deluxe with State on my Mac has been a nightmare this year. I've used Block software for years with no problems, but this year has been a bear. I initially couldn't save/open my return using a CD I got from Office Depot. I got an error message: "string ID insertion failed." Customer Support indicated the program ws corrupted. I uninstalled Block and installed a download provided by Customer Support. I was able to complete both federal and state returns and successfully transmitted them. I got the message in my e-mail that both returns were accepted. My problem now is that when I go into the program and try to check the status, I get the same error message about an insertion error. I had saved my data in three different locations, including a flash drive, but I get the same error message when I try to open them. So, I have no acces to my 2014 digital return. My data is supposedly hopelessly lost, even though I backed it up just before filing.

I've read that the automatic update of H&R Block for the Mac doesn't work properly and could give the kind of problem you're describing.
The solution has been to get the Federal and State update files manually and install them manually. The Federal update is here, and the State update is here. Note that Block seems to release Mac updates using those links later than they release them for auto update.
Also note that with the update process, the updater scans every attached drive and Time Machine and seems to be interested in updating every instance, including every appearance of the software in the Time Machine file.

Problem with Family Protection blocking

I have an ongoing problem with Family Protection blocking allowed websites from my daughter. I checked her account settings which are the same as her brother's and he has no problems. I then removed her account and created a new one and copied the settings across from his to ensure everything was the same - still no difference. Any suggestions? I guess I could try reinstalling but it is such hassle to get a code etc...

I am experiencing this issue as well. I can download about 50 of my 900 songs through family sharing the rest say unable to download. Apple call support and genous at Apple store were both unable to solve the issue. I've resorted to using the same Apple ID on all devices but obviously this is not ideal. If anyone has success solving this I would love to see a post on it. It's definitely something with the iTunes or Apple id end of things and not device or setting related because I have tried everything I can locally.

Has anyone had problems with iCloud being blocked by corporate web security?

Has anyone else encountered problems with iCloud being blocked by the web-security on company computers? I never had any problems with me.com, but now it appears I will be unable to check my mail via any computer at work.
Since iCloud is a portal for high-volume image and file sharing, I can understand why the site would be blocked, but it's very frustrating that this possibility would not have been anticipated, and an alternate web-mail site been set up. Otherwise many me.com subscribers may be left unable to use the iCloud web-mail portal via computers at work or at internet cafes that may block access to potentially risky websites.
Has anyone figured out a back door to this problem?

I dont beleive its an iOS 5 Issue - i think its hardware...
Simply because i have been running iOS 5 beta's since june and there were no issues with my iPhone 4.
When i installed the GM on my iphone 4 (which is the same build as the public release) there were no issues with charging in my vehicle.
Now, charging my iPhone 4S in my car is practically impossible.
when i plug mine in, it will display the "Plugged" symbol on the battery display but not actually charge. the battery will still decrease.
then it will randomly "disconnect" and not register that it is plugged in. then appear to be plugged in, then not, then plugged in, then not.
This will repeat over and over again without actually charging and the charger being in the socket throughout.
however yesterday i left it plugged in and my battery was 9% and after the strange plugged-in behaviour i noticed it was charging normally after about 20 mins in the car.
But when i did the same journey time today, the battery wouldnt register at all.... charging has only been successful ONCE since 14th October on the iPhone 4s
No idea whats up with it...
anybody else?

Problem with Adobe Creative Cloud software for PC

Good Evening,
I have a problem witg Adobe Creative Cloud software for PC
I have Windows 8.0 x64. I downloaded few apps using the Creative Cloud software and had to restart my computer due to the pending windows updates. After I restarted my computer, the software didn't work proprely. When i launch it, the cloud icon is gray and when i click on it i can only see the title and nothing else (white space) Each time i close it, Windows says that application caused an error and it need to be shutted down. I tried reinstalling the Creative Cloud software multiple times and it didn't help. Is there any other way to install the software without using the app ?

Hi
Is it specific with Muse not working ? Or its with any application installed using creative cloud app manager
If its only Muse , then please try follow solution 1 and 2 in this document :
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/kb/unexpected-error-occurred-i-200.html
If still same issue, then please get in touch with support directly.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Problem with multiple output for software simulated project

When a software simulated project in captivate is published more than thrice, the output is not generated properly, i.e not in-line with the project. Is this a problem with my system or due to some settings in captivate which is not activated?

Thanks for the suggestions Malcolm,
They're very handy app's for sure, but unfortunately they didn't fix the problem.
Detour DID overide the routing for iChat's general bleeps & noises, but not the audio stream from video conferences (which is the problem I want to fix).
If anyone has any other suggestions for fixes, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks again,
Jason

Problem with Nested tell blocks in Applescript

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to do a little Applescript, whose purpose is to open a file selector to let the user choose a bunch of images, then prompt him to ask a resizing ratio, and then resize the chosen pictures accordingly (after duplicating the originals in a folder on the desktop, the copied files being the ones resized).
I'm having problems with the resizing part... Here is the code I've come up with so far... "Image traitées" is the name of the new folder created on the desktop, and "compression" is the factor in %.
     -- Resizing
     tell application "Finder"
          repeat with photo in folder "Images traitées" of desktop
               tell application "Image Events"
                    launch
                    scale photo by factor compression * 0.01
               end tell
          end repeat
     end tell
I'm encountering an error number -1708, saying that the 'photo' item doesn't understand the scale message...
As I'm new to Applescript, I have some difficulties solving this... Could it be due to the nested tell blocks ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Thomas

Your tell statements are OK, although when nesting them you do need to keep track of what application is getting targeted in any given statement (to avoid terminology conflicts).
Each application refers to its objects in its own way - unfortunately, not everything knows about Finder references. Your photo variable contains a Finder reference (e.g. "file x of folder y of disk z"), but Image Events doesn't know what that is. The solution is to convert the Finder reference to something more standard, such as text or an alias.
Your script won't work with just that change, however. Image Events works with the image contained in a file, so you also need to actually get that image, for example:
set compression to 80 -- used in the following snippet
tell application "Image Events" to launch -- just need to do this once
tell application "Finder"
     repeat with photo in folder "Images traitées" of desktop
          tell application "Image Events"
               set theImage to open (photo as alias) -- get the image from the Finder reference
               scale theImage by factor compression * 0.01
               save theImage -- save the changed image
          end tell
     end repeat
end tell

Problem with keyboard (hardware or software problem?)

I'm currently faced with a troubling problem with my keyboard.
Apparently, certain keys when typed, appears together with an additional letter on the screen.
exact problems:
i when typed, becomes ir
r when typed, also becomes ir
k when typed, becomes kf
f when typed, also becomes kf
v when typed, becomes v,
, when typed, also becomes v,
4 when typed, becomes 48
8 when typed, also becomes 48
I tried the on-screen keyboard, and also using a external usb keyboard, both worked.
Oh please note that I have not done anything accidental to the machine such as spilling of water which is affecting the way the keyboard is behaving now.

Hi thewashedawaysand,
If an external keyboard works as well as the software keyboard it would seem to appear that the issue is related to the keyboard itself (hardware).
For something like that you'll need to get the unit into a service provider for further diagnostics.

Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
- Ipod Touch user from australia
- went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
- The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
- Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
- Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
- The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance!

Hi pdra05,
Do you manually manage your music?
iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts. However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles. It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is. The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info. Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page. I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list. I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number. Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?

Problem with IE8 popup blocker and Windowless mode

My team is having popup blocker issue, which is crippling our system where a large range of users are now complaining that their links or buttons will not open in IE7 or IE8 and results in the pop-up blocker message.
Our Flash application's embed code needed wmode set to windowless ('opaque' or 'transparent') since we need to place floating HTML objects over the Flash application. But all links (within static text content) with target set to '_blank' or a custom name and also all navigateToURL() methods with the same target values are now resulting in IE pop-up blocker message once the window mode was changed to 'opaque' (same result also with 'transparent').
We have a AS3 work around for the navigateToURL() method but no solutions for 100s of pages of simple HTML content contributed by users that have links as well as our own Flash static-text content with links.
Here is a simple page created to demonstrate the issue - http://clients.projectmiso.net/photobiz/custom_lightbox/Test_File.html
And the ActionScript 3 code -
var clickFunction = function(){
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yahoo.com");
navigateToURL(targetURL, '_blank');
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);

Hi!
One thing you could try is to use MOUSE_UP instead of CLICK
( tip-source : http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=176795 )
This example uses clickTag parameter (through flashvars) instead of a hardcoded URL inside the flashfile though,
but I'm sure you get the point:
clickBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event: MouseEvent): void {
var sURL: String;
if ((sURL = root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTag)) {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sURL), "_blank");
clickBtn.buttonMode = true;
clickBtn.useHandCursor = true;
Or you might want to have a look at this workaround :

Problem with HP Photosmart Premier software

I have an old custom built desktop PC running Windows XP Pro.Recently I started receiving an error message from my HP Photosmart Premier photo program the "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT." Since I don't have a clue what this means I need help from someone who does. How to I fix this problem?

MelLeveque, when you refer to "print view software" what software specifically are you working with that is having the issue? Also, are you trying to uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features or are you trying to uninstall through the program itself?
Let me know!

Problem With MuVo V200 after software upd

Hi
Today I buy a MuVo Gb,
I check that the software ver. in the MP3 player
was old.
I download the file "MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe"
and installede the file, No problem
After the update I can NOT turn-on the mp3 player,
and the pc can NOT see the MP3 in the USB port.
So it is DEAD. Have can i wake-up the mp3 player ? again
Regard
Arne

From the website, download and install the Mass Storage Drivers.
Then, press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to the USB port of your PC. This is connecting your V200 in what is called Recovery Mode.
Keep pressing the Play button until the New Hardware Wizard starts.
Complete the wizard.
When finished reload the firmware. If it doesn't work with the latest version then try one of the earlier version linked to in the thread in my signature line.

Problems with Storm 9530 after software update

Greetings, I am new to this forum and hope I am in the right place.
After an email prompt from BlackBerry, Yesterday, I updated my software on my Verizon BlackBerry Storm, 9530.
Now I have several problems;
1. Voice commands are not being recognized as easily as previously, making hands free calling almost impossible.
2. Pandora will stall near the end of each selection. The song will resume after I push the pause and then the play button.
3. When I attempt to live stream from a local radio station, I get the following message: "! This playlist contains no valid songs"    Buffering... is displayed in the upper right hand corner, but no connection is ever made.
Any ideas what I need to do to fix the thing?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
1) A known bug...we all hope that RIM is working on a fix.
2) A known bug...Pandora is working on a fix. I have heard that it is available on their website but not yet via AppWorld.
3) Very difficult to diagnose...it could be the website itself...it could be your device browser settings....it could be a number of things. Try these steps.
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Websites can be coded to perform better with some browsers rather than others. The BB Browser can appear to websites as several different things...that setting is, from within the Browser App, (BBKey > Options > Browser Configuration > Browser Identification). Changing that to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites. In combination with all of the other configuration settings, you need to find the combination of all of these settings that works best for the sites you are visiting. Sadly, there is no "best advice" to give as each persons needs are different. But, I typically find that changing the Browser Identification often helps -- most often by changing to FF or IE (if those are available to you...the options vary by carrier).
Hopefully something in there will get you going again.
Good luck!
