Problems with widespread

I have downloaded Firefox so I can play games on facebook as I was having trouble of the widespread, since downloading i still having problems, there is no scroll bar down the bottom to see the whole picture, is there anyone who can help me please

We've been having the same issue as far as laptops not powering up. We have the 2767-11U model. It seems to happen randomly, and over a good number of our fleet. We've found pulling the bios battery will have it back up and running, but thats a big problem for a remote user. I've had probably 15 or so system boards replaced in them, and havent seen any of them back for that issue that i can think of.. So no, you are not alone with pretty numerous and odd issues with the T400's.

Hanging problem with Adobe CS6 in Mountain Lion

I recently upgraded my retina Macbook pro to Mountain Lion and was having some trouble with Adobe CS6 apps hanging on startup among other things (including iCal crashing on startup)
I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and Manually rebuilt my applications folder so that Adobe MAster COllection was installed freshly on a clean install of ML.
Now it is still sporadically hanging when I try to open Photoshop, Bridge or other Adobe apps. The only thing that seems to fix it is a restart which is inconvenient when you're in the middle of work.
ANy ideas?

Thanks for this. I had heard of the fonts problem some people have had. All my fonts were freshly installed by either the system or Adobe when I installed Master Collection. Following your advice, I just verified every font and the only problem that showed up (as you had predicted) was a minor duplication which I corrected. So, it seems unlikely to be the fonts.
As for your other point, I have been using Final Cut Pro X and that has worked fine. The only other app that has given me trouble has been Calendar which seems to get strangely stuck sometimes while it is updating. Makes me wonder if there's something going on with the network I'm using.
One thing I hadn't thought of was that it could be a problem with gfx card switcher. This seems unlikely but I'll try disabling it and see if that helps.
Weirdly, today when I had this issue, Photoshop loaded up ok but then hung when I tried to load any file into it. Bridge wouldn't start at all. I didn't try the others. Yesterday I was having problems with Illustrator.
Anyway, I see what you mean about it not being a widespread problem - which is why I started this thread. It seems no one else is having any issues. If anyone else knows what I should look for in my configuration please let me know.

WiFi problem with iOS 7.0.3 and iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 has been working flawlessly with iOS6. After updating it to iOS 7 I have an irritating problem with the WiFi connection at work. Everything is OK for some time, then the WiFi connection just stops working. There is a WiFi icon max signal strength icon but there's just no connection. There are usually no error messages. Safari would just spin the connectivity icon forever with nothing showing on the screen. Facebook won't load anything, etc. Unfortunately the phone won't fallback to cellular. I have to either reset it, or restart it. Sometimes just diabling-enabling WiFi works, sometimes not.
I've read a lot about this problem, it seems to be very common on 4S, however it seems I am alone to have it on 5. I've tried all the suggested solution - reset my network settings, I have even reinstalled my iPhone as a new one and not from my iOS6 backup. It doesn't help.
Note that the problem is not in our WiFi network since my iPad 3 works perfectly and has connectivity at the same time.
Having in mind this is very widespread issue on iPhone 4S which is still not fixed even in version 7.0.3, I am kind of exhausted. I've been a loyal Apple fan but if this doesn't get fix in the next iOS 7 update, I'll probably look other brands finally. It's really such a shame!

You are not alone i am having same issue on my i5 ios7.0.3 but apple is still not responding on the issue several sites and even apple discussion forum is filled with this issue no major fix or trick works as what apple says in its help. waiting for apple to respond on this isuue

Annoying problem with shift key in limit dialog Brio 6.6.4

<p>My company uses Brio Insight & Designer v6.6.4. We (meaning almost all users) are encountering an annoying problem whenadding a limit to a query using the limit dialog. When try toenter a limit value using the shift key, as in Shift T to enter acapital T, the limit value field ends up with a value like"TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT". Thisis very annoying and widespread problem with us. It seemed tostart when we upgraded to Win XP SP2. Is there a solution forother than to "upgrade to the latest version"?</p>

Unfortunately not. The only way we avoided this issue was to upgrade or write the text into a text editor and cut and paste the text into the section name box.

Who has had a problem with Zen Firmware upgra

Its difficult when reading through the?message boards to get a true reflection of what is happening, clearly quite a number of people have had problems after and during the process of upgrading firmware, others clearly have not, I am interested to see how wide spread the problem is. Now clearly to some degree there are going to be more people on a site like this with a problems, those who have upgraded without any difficulties are blissfully unaware. So if you have a problem just post a yes I am sure you have vented your frustration in a myriad of posts elsewhere anywhere this is purely an attempt to gauge the size of the problem.

Well it now appears Creative want to charge me ?83.43 to fix there problem thats putting it politely, I am planning to contact the IT Press to see how widespread this problem is please add to this post if you are having problems with the latest firmware release.

I need to suppress ReportCrash - Problem with Skype

I need to use skype for my business. Unfortunately, it's kinda unavoidable and not easily replaced. I also just updated skype to the latest version in hopes that it would fix this problem, but unfortunately no such luck. I know this isn't a forum about skype help, and I'm not expecting someone to tell me how to fix skype so it doesn't do it here, but rather if someone could tell me if you can suppress reportcrash from being set off by skype that would be very helpful.
So basically every time I launch skype it also sets off reportcrash. Then report crash uses 100% of my CPU, draining my battery, making things slow, etc... I quit skype, report crash still keeps on running. I go to the terminal and I go to kill it, another report crash process just pops up, even if skype has already been quit. The only thing that solves the problem is a restart, but then once I launch skype it happens all over agian.
If it's possible to suppress reportcrash that would be great. What does that do anyways? I mean ideally I'd like to suppress it just for skype, but if it's not all that important I don't care about suppresing

Downgrade to an older version? Or contact Microsoft support and sort out what's wrong?
What you're describing — reportcrash going compute-bound — could be a problem with your Mac, however. Try Skype from a different login and see if it has problems there, and try from a different Mac — I'd be surprised if there was widespread, generic problem across multiple versions, and which would then imply there's something else off or wrong with local environment. Also launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities and then launch Skype and see if there's some sort of repeating crash that's happening secondary to Skype.
Are there any anti-virus, anti-malware, I/O or system performance-enhancing tools or other add-ons that improve or speed or enhance or protect? Remove those per the package documentation, and re-try access to Skype.

Problems with IPhone 4S and pop email

Hi
I'd be very grateful if someone here is able to help me
I recently bought an IPhone 4S and am having problems with the two pop email accounts I need to put on it.
When I use these settings below (sent to me by my web hosting company) I get the message
The POP server "mail.myemailaddress.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field
When I try and send out emails I get the message
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.myemailaddress.com" failed
I've also had the message
CANNOT SEND MAIL
a copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient (email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Settings I've put in are

SMTP smtp.myemailaddress
Advanced
Use SSL off
authentication - password
server port 25
I've also tried using port 26, port 110 and port 995 with SSL enabled and no luck with any of them
I've contacted my web hosting comapny but they can't help so anyting suggested here will be very gratefully received

Some folks think the problem is due to poor solder connections of the WiFi chip on the card. Heating may expand the joints to cause temporary connectivity. The chip itself could be of low tolerance, and the iOS update causes it to fail the threshold. If you have tried the software resets, then the cure is to reflow the solder of the chip to the WiFi card, or to replace the WiFi card. Apple will not "own" this problem, even though it seems to be widespread. Apple offers to renew your contract for a new iPhone at $199. Certain repair shops will tackle this problem, although many local shops will not. In the US try iFix Miami Beach. See them on eBay <http://www.ebay.com/itm/iPhone-4S-Grayed-Out-Wifi-Wireless-Fix-Repair-Service-Tr usted-Specialists-/161160765436?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1120> for a $69 fix. They fixed my iPhone 4S and returned within a week (even over the Memorial Day holiday weekend). In Europe, I have read about, but have not tried PodMod <http://www.podmod.org>

Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A:
Late 2007 20 inch Alloy iMac
Model: OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A
Revision: 1AHM
Serial Number:
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal
Low Power Polling: Yes
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Mick

I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

8 G Nano Freezing Problems--How Widespread Is It And Another Question

I got this 8 G Nano about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. Last night it froze. I did the "hold switch on and off" and it worked. Then I did the "center and menu" option which gave me the Apple icon when I turned it on with a prompt to use iTunes to restore the Nano. Since I am away from my computer, I have not be able to do that yet. My questions are: how widespread is the freezing problem and is there anything I can do to lessen the chances of it occuring, and since I got the Apple icon on the screen will I encounter any problems when I do the restore?

I think it would be a little bit of a skewed judgement of how widespread any particular problem is based on the responses on this board. You have to keep in mind that most people come here in the first place because of a problem they are experiencing. So it's likely that the ratio on here would be extremely high. The people that post on here only represent a small number (ratio wise) of ipod users world wide so over all the problems described on here may not be as widespread as it may appear (also keep in mind that other sites where complaints are logged would have the same issue...and it's very likely that a number of the complaints here are reposted on various sites by the same people). On here, I am one of the few people that has not experienced the majority of the issues that others have posted about. I have not had to reset my ipod or do a restore or go through any of the 5 R's. On here I feel like I may be on of the lucky minority but the people around me represent a different picture. No problems with their units with the exception of the on-the-go playlists bug and the initial firmware bugs everyone experienced.
As for experiencing any problems when you go to restore due to you having the Apple icon...in theory I would like to tell you no, you won't have any problems, but the reality seems to be that it's impossible to really predict what will happen.
Hope all works out for you.

Were there graphics card problems with the 2006 Mac Pros?

I'm curious about the ATI 2600 graphics card issues occuring with the new Mac Pro's using Leopard...
Did this just start occuring or were people also having problems with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT cards on the 2006 Mac Pro's while running Tiger?
The reason I'm asking is my Dual 867 has finally given up the ghost and needs to be replaced and I have the opportunity to buy a new 2 Dual-Core 2.66GHZ Mac Pro with Tiger loaded in lieu of the newer, problem ridden models.
Thanks for your responses.

the 7300 has had no widespread problems.

Problems with a MSI K8N

So yeah I just bought alot of computer parts including this motherboard. I have my computer area downstairs in my house but I have a spare monitor in my room. After I finished installing everything I pluged the case into the wall and hooked it up. I proceeded to turn the power on and noticed the "NEO PLATNIUM" on the screen I figured everything was working so I turned the power off not thinking it would mess the bios up and took it downstairs and pluged it in again with my real monitor and computer set up. I tried to power it on again and it shut off in like 5-10 seconds I proceeded doing this about 4 times everytime it shut off so I took it back up stairs to see if something became unplugged. From then on I couldnt even get it to turn back on. My case showed a green light but when I pushed power It didnt work. I tried clearing the cmos with no success. I'm hoping somehow you guys will know what to do.
Thanks for you time.

Hey man, I feel your pain, and I feel obligated to post this because of the way everybody else is treating the problem.
Let me point this out to everybody:
This guy knows what he's doing, he isn't doing anything stupid. This IS a problem with this MSI board. How do I know? Because my computer setup is doing the exact same thing. I've been through 2 boards and 3 CPU's now. My setup worked fine for 2 weeks, then one day it just stopped working. It turns on for 5 seconds, then just turns itself off. It does not post. D-Bracket claims it is a bad or badly seated CPU. It lies. I just put in a brand new working CPU today, and i'm getting the same issue. It IS the motherboard. Now I just have to get it fixed from MSI somehow. I feel comforted knowing i'm not the only one with this problem. I just replied to some other guys post about having this issue.
I just posted my issue on another motherboard, but I will post it here as well for you all to read so that you know this issue is more widespread than it may seem.
Boy, what a ride this has been so far.
Let me briefly explain the issue. Got a the motherboard and a XP64 3200+ from newegg.com, etc. Plug it all together - nothing. I've built plenty of systems, and i've built several using thet MSI K8N board, also. I discover that the RAM is bad and the motherboard is also bad. Repeat as necessary several times.
Long story short, I'm on CPU #3 and Mobo #2, soon to be #3.
The 1st CPU was returned because a friend was working on the system and pulled the heatsink off and the CPU stuck to the bottom of the heatsink and some of the pins got bent/broke. (This is due to the poor design of the heatsink holder on the MSI board. There is WAY too much surface area between the heatsink and the CPU for the heatsink to be enclosed how it is on this board.. trying to pull them apart like that is just impossible. It can't be done. It has to be at an angle. . Only way).
Now, after we got the motherboard RMA'd and bought a new CPU, everything worked fine and dandy.
Two weeks later, one day the system just won't boot. There is no video signal at all. The problem is that when the system turns on, it runs for about 7 seconds.. all the fans turn on, etc. and then it just turns itself off.
I've tried different power supplies, i've tried only with the CPU, Mobo, and RAM, and hell, i've even tried it without the RAM. I've tried it out of the case, to check for shorts. Nothing. I've checked the power switch to be sure it isn't being stuck on, it's not. There is no reason, whatsoever for the computer to do this. The Diagnosis LED Lights show all 4 red which means badly seated or damaged CPU. Ok. So I RMA the CPU. I just get it back today, and we're on the 3rd CPU now. Plugged it all together.. brand new CPU. The old one obviously didn't work or else they wouldn't have RMA'd this one to us. They should have tested this one first too, I think.
SAME PROBLEM.
The computer turns on, lights fans etc. come on, and 7 seconds later the computer shuts down. There are no BIOS beep codes, no video signals, NOTHING.
This really only leaves me with one conclusion - the motherboard is bad. There are only 2 choices, CPU or Motherboard, and the CPU is brand new.. and the problem was the same with the last one ... common denomonator is the motherboard. Now its been so long waiting for the RMA on the CPU and everything ... plus the 2 weeks that this motherboard worked, that newegg probably won't take back the motherboard. My only real options is to send it to MSI for repair or something.
This is a very sad day. The only thing I can think would have happened is that the motherboard had some kind of voltage issue to the CPU.. maybe some kind of electric jolt that damaged the CPU socket and the CPU itself so that now nothing works. I'm most afraid that the motherboard is damaging the CPU's.. and that this new one we just put in could be damaged from the motherboard also.
These things are expensive... I can't afford for all this to keep going. I've easily spent $150 - $200 doing RMA's for all this ****. It's just ****ing rediculous. I should win an award for most computer problems.
Before I start freaking out about this even more, let me get to the point of this post.
Has anybody else experienced something like this? Specifically with this board? With something else? What the hell can I do about this, or is my only option the motherboard.. as far as I can tell.. it can't be anything else.

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.
