Quicktime Update Error: Invalid information from server and network administrator error?

I'm contantly getting a pop-up saying that I need to update my Quick Time software. So, I click "Do it now", and get a message saying that the informaion recieved from the Quick Time server is invalid.
Other times, I get a message saying: "Your Network Aministrator has disabled your ability to change the system directory," and asks me to update with a different user. However, I AM the administartor on my computer...so what is going on?
Please help, since this message keeps popping up whenever I try any application that uses Quick Time, like iTunes, or even this website.
Operating System: Windows 7

Thanks for responding, but I kept looking around the forums and solved the problem by doing what this post said:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7288145#7288145
Those 2 files really should be removed when you try to install/reinstall quicktime or update it to another version.
Thanks again

Passing Information From Server to GUI

Hi, I'm making a chat client, but I'm having trouble passing information from server's input stream to my GUI. I made two threads, one for sending and one for receiving, and I start them both when I click "connect" after I log in to the server. So what happens is I run my program, the frame appears as I want it to, and then I click connect, and after a little wait the button "unclicks" (or w/e) and nothing happens. I don't know why I am not receiving the messages from the server. If I make the program "GUI-less" it works, I can both send and receive messages via the console. But in the GUI, where I am sending/receiving via my two TextAreas, it doesn't work. Here's my code:
(I apologize ahead of time for posting so much code in a thread, I tried to cut it down as best as I could.)

            catch(IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
}So, to repeat my questions, SendAndReceive class, but I'm not sure if this is the right approach.why isn't my TextArea (BotWindow.outText) not receiving and setting it's text to the information from the server? Is my threading correct? Also, with the way I set up the threads, will the Send function be able to send in the midst of the receive function? I tried to set it up so that it could by implementing ActionListener in my SendAndReceive class, but I am not sure if this is the correct approach.
P.S. The reason I put this in Swing is because it works without a GUI/Swing components! If it will help, I will post the GUI-less program I made that works.

How to retrieve information from server?

Hi,
I'm currently working on a project, which is implemented with JSP. The function of the JSP is to connect to different servers within the Intranet(IP address already known) and get database list & file list residing on each server. And then compose all those information into a table, and display them in JSP. I just wonder how can I connect to those server? Can I just set up a socket client? Once the connection between servers has been setup, how can I retreive information from server? Are there any reference I can use? Thank you very much for your considerations.
Myra

Actually, I need extract some information from the file, and those files are on the server. In this case, do you think I should use FTP client to visit server? The server is running with Weblogic.

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

App Store can't find any updates? No response from server.

When I open iTunes I get a message saying "a new version of iTunes is ready for download". But when I click download/update it takes me to App Store where it can't find any updates. It keeps saying "Didn't get a response from the Software Update server (198.168.1.7)." every time I check for updates. Please help! I know there is a new update for iTunes and I can't update it.
Please if you have any suggestions or ideas or explanations please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Thanks in advance.

The system is configured to download updates from a private server, not from Apple. That server isn't working or isn't reachable. If you're bound to a network directory server, or if you're behind a firewall that doesn't allow downloading updates directly from Apple, your network administrator has to solve the problem. Otherwise, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and try Software Update again.

QuickTime update error

I am trying to upgrade QuickTime/iTunes on my mother's XP PC. Each time I run the installer, it throws an error when updating QuickTime:
"The feature you are tying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below."
I searched for this file but cannot find it. The machine I am trying to update is not networked with any external drives or other machines, so I have no idea why QT (or Windows) thinks this file is on a 'network resource.'
When I click 'OK' to try again, I get the following message:
"The path 'C:DOCUME~1\Dotty\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is5D3\QuickTime.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product QuickTime."
The 'Dotty' in that path is my mother's account name on the machine.
I have tied uninstalling QT and iTunes and searching and removing files that look like they would be used by QT or iTunes, but still no luck.
We bought her a new iPod for Mother's Day, and she hasn't been able to use it yet (because it required that she upgrade from iTunes 6 to 7).
Any help would be appreciated.

"The feature you are tying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below."
let's first try the following procedure with that one.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Software Updates Failing - Group Policy Overwritten - Server and Policy NOT CONFIGURED

I have seen a few posts about this issue and group policy overwriting the settings needed by SCCM with the wrong WSUS server. I checked the wuahandlerlog and found this error but it didnt have the server information.
"Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server and Policy NOT CONFIGURED"
The only coputer policy that applies to this system does not have WSUS entries in it. Windows update runs ok, and I deleted the WSUS registry keys that were set by a script and reinstall the client still getting the same error. I dont see any GPO local or domain, or reg keys that are setting anything. I have 10 other servers is the same AD container that this is working perfecly on.......
Suggestions????

Check out this GPO:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Group Policy:
"Turn off Local Group Policy Objects processing"
The help text:
"This policy setting prevents Local Group Policy Objects (Local GPOs) from being applied.
By default, the policy settings in Local GPOs are applied before any domain-based GPO policy settings. These policy settings can apply to both users and the local computer. You can disable the processing and application of all Local GPOs to ensure that only
domain-based GPOs are applied.
If you enable this policy setting, the system does not process and apply any Local GPOs.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Local GPOs continue to be applied.
Note: For computers joined to a domain, it is strongly recommended that you only configure this policy setting in domain-based GPOs. This policy setting will be ignored on computers that are joined to a workgroup."

Mail not getting all messages from server and other strange behavior

Hello All,
Mail has been doing some odd things for me of late (at least the last week) and I'm lost for a solution to my problem. As far as I can tell, perhaps my Prefs. have become corrupted, or at least something in relation to Mail has become corrupted. Perhaps someone has a solution to this issue before I have to back it all up and NUKE the whole **** app to get back up and running properly.
The main issue I appear to be having is that Mail is not getting all of my Mail messages from my server. I can log into my web-mail interface provided by my domain host and can see there that there are many e-mails that don't appear to be coming down the pipe to the Mail.app client. I'm getting some e-mail's but not all....
*Here are all the things that I've checked:*
• The missing e-mails are not being picked up as Junk and are not in the Junk folder
• I have done a search within Mail for the missing e-mail's and nothing turns up anywhere.
• I have checked on the server end that I'm not maxing out my InBox or that there are any other service issues from my domain host provider.
• I have been into Prefs and checked my account settings - most (see below) of which appear to be as normal and are fine.
*Here are the weird things that I've noticed:*
• When I went into the Prefs. for the account in question, I noticed that my login had changed. For example - it usually it is "[email protected]", however it had seemed to have changed to just "johndoe" - I know this wasn't me as my domain host will not allow me to access any mail unless the login is the full mail address.
• In RULES, every rule I double click to check on seems mostly fine, apart from the fact that every "Account is:" the pull down menu just appears as blank. Usually it says "Account is: ([email protected])"
It's there last 2 items that make me think something is corrupted - so I guess my question is, what pref or file has corrupted and how can I fix it without having to give Mail.app a digital enema?
Any assistance would be most helpful - missing some but not all your incoming e-mail messages is quite annoying, as you can guess...!
Thanks,
Boz

Hello Boz.
This appears to be a rules issue. Mail is almost certainly downloading those messages, but they’re probably being processed by your rules in an unexpected way — given the information you’ve provided, maybe because there is something wrong with the file where the account settings are stored.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
<hr>
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Write down your Mail > Preferences > Accounts settings or take screen shots of them.
2. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
3. Quit Mail.
4. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem). If you have a backup of your data that includes a working copy of this file, you may try restoring it from the backup to avoid steps 6-8.
6. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
7. You’ll have to re-configure some of your Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
8. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
9. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
<hr>
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Need example of client requesting information from server

I have a thick-client application that also acts as a server for remote clients.
I have it set up so that they send messages to each other. The server can initiate action on the client and the client can initiate action on the server. All of my communication is essentially asynchronous.
Now I want to start adding more transactional synchronous interactions, for instance:
- User initiates action on client
- Client gets data from server
- Client uses that information to perform further action
Is there a good example or tutorial for someone who hasn't done that before?

If you want to keep it a J2SE app im not sure you can use JMS to do it, but would have to use RMI or just plain network programming, with lots of thread control.
Anyhow if you would like to do it the easy way run a J2EE server, find a small one, but one that supports JMS (think one of the minimal installs of jboss might be good). Make a topic called messageExchange or somethign. Connect server/client to the topic. Can use MVC or something as a messagelistener. You can even persist the topic (DurableTopic) to log events to a database.
This is a little job that requires little planning compared to setting up a thread hieracy with sockets flying all around. And easier than rmi.
I have really never tought of using JMS in outside of an J2EE container, but there might be some plugins or api's that support this for J2SE.
