Reader looks for non-existent Disk

When I run Reader (X), on occasion (but most times) it displays a dialog box telling me there is no disk in Drive E: (which is one of my CD drives). The files I'm reading are on a different drive. I have to click Cancel twice to continue work. How can I stop this?

There may be something in your registry that points to that E: drive.

AME looking for non-existent disk drives and now disappeared from hard drive.

AME stopped launching for some reason. now its completely left my system. Reinstall of Premiere Pro CS6 family in Creative Cloud App Manager does not help reinstall AME. How do I get AME back and working?

Have you verified, that it actualyl exists in your Program Files\Adobe Folder. Did you run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool? Have you flushed the AME/ PPro prefs?

X61: Bios looks for non-existing CDROM drive?

Hi,
I recently observe a problem with my X61. After the machine is power on, it stops (with a blank screen) for about half a minute before starting to boot Vista. I also notice that if I connect a USB CDROM drive to the machine, then it will not stop during the startup process. I think the problem is that the Bios is looking for a CDROM drive which is not there. Since this problem only happen recently, I suspect that it is due to a recent Bios update. I down-graded the bios from v2.20 to v2.19 but the problem still exists. Could anyone let me know which bios version should I downgrade to? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Daniel

Did you check the boot order in BIOS first? By default , the optical drive should be listed, then the HDD. Sometimes depending on your BIOS seup, you'll see one of of the USB devices listed first. If you power on the unit with a USB CDROM already attached to the unit while turning it on, it's possible the BIOS will detect it and try booting from it.
Enter the BIOS at boot by tapping F1
Then Go to "Startup" , then "Boot"
Remember that you can also exclude any item you want BIOS boot order (normally by pressing "X") Use F5 and F6 to arrow up and down the Boot order.
You can also press F9 to try loading the BIOS defaults.
Let me know if this helps.
Cheers,
Mark

Fcp looking for non-existent plug ins

i installed some demo audio units plug-ins a while back and didn't like them so i deleted them.
i just had to re-install FCP and now, every time i launch, it looks for each and every one of the audio units. i have to click cancel like forty times to start the program. i've thrown away my prefs, reinstalled the prgram, thrown away all the install receipts, made sure the audio untis are gone etc. I also use Logic Pro as well (that's what the audio units were originally intended for)
thanks

Can't install 7.7. it's looking for non-existant drive G:

Everytime i try to install i get an error message cannot find drive G:
I only have up to an F drive. Have tried plugging camera and iphone to usb ports to create a "dummy drive G" but no good. Pleeeease help! i really need the new upgrade for my iphone and it requires itunes 7.7!!

I've been fighting the same battle the past 2 days, but when I followed these numbered directions above I thought it would work. Wrong, it still said "A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue".
One of the things I noted on the iTunes support page is that VBscript must be installed, and I thought I had it since I have the file: (C:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll).
Anyway, I downloaded VBscript 5.7 from the Microsoft web site, ran the installation, rebooted, and tried reinstalling just the iTunes.msi as described in step 5 since I'd already installed the other components. The install worked this time. I was flabbergasted! Trust me on this, I must have spent 10-12 hours trying everything to uninstall old components, clean up files & directories, and remove all possible registry entries manually, and I could not get past the error message saying I already had a newer version. Only after installing VBscript was I able to get iTunes installed and running!
It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to spend so much time and effort to run a simple software install that should have taken 10 minutes. The developers who thought it was a good idea requiring VBscript be installed on the host machine ought to flogged!

I was upset that I was having trouble with the mail on the Mac Book Pro. I threw away the app for this. Is there any place to get it back the computer. I have looked for my install disks to no avail. Is there anywhere I can download it back to my com

I threw the program away. I need to have it on my computer. Is there anywhere I can find the download for mail for mac. I have looked for the install disks to no avail.. Can anyone help me?

There is nowhere that you can download it from. You need your Mac OS X install disk. If you can't find it, you'll need to replace it. Then you can install Mail from that disk.

My time capsule just keeps looking for a backup disk

I am having problems with my Time Capsule. I try to back up my mac book pro onto my time capsule and it just states "looking for back up disk" and wont go past that. It still works as a shared folder to store files, however it never comepltes a back up. It had been working fine then all of a sudden stopped. I have tried everything. I reformated it back to the factory settings and set it up again. I didn't lose any of the files I had on it using it as a external hard drive. However it still wont back up. Any help would be great as I have tried multiple things. I am currently using moutain lion.
Thanks

Do a full reset of TM..
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Your reset did nothing to the TC drive.
Try a verify of the backup.. A5 in above reference.. And load the widget, A1 so you know what TM is doing.
If you continue to have issues.. ensure the TC has a short name, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. See C9.. same reference again. Many people use names which are far too long.. it causes issues.
Sometimes mixing data and backups as you are doing has bad effects.. it is certainly not without issues.
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Sometimes it does just bomb.. you do have to wipe the drive.. ie erase and start over. Clearly if you are loading data as well onto the TC.. wiping will require you first off load those files. Consider using a USB drive to keep data and backups separate.

More Lion issues - Throwing Console errors for non-existent application

Again, with the bad side of Lion.
I was receiving all kinds of console errors in Lion with TweetDeck and Adobe AIR apps so I de-installed these applications and removed them from the system. However, Apple's fantastic Lion Operating System still is complaining about them even though they are not to be found.
In the console I am getting sandbox errors on locations and files that are non-existent. Below is a snapshot of the error messages, and the directory referred to: /Users/kkathman/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/TweetDeckFast.... and the others DON'T EVEN EXIST!!
How do I keep this from happening? Why does the OS go after this when it's been removed?????

Don't know how you de-installed but you didn't fully uninstall them. If you did not have an uninstaller supplied with the applications, then here's what you need to consider in order to fully uninstall:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

Inserting the default value for non existing date

hello,
i am designing a matrix report for payslip for month wise in oracle 6i report builder.
in that i want to display per day working hours of the month.
i m using following query for achieving my goal :
select a.paycode,b.empname,c.departmentname,to_char(a.dateoffice,'DD') dateoffice,a.shiftattended,round(decode(a.hw,0,a.mannual_hours,a.hw),0) hw,
a.ISMANNUAL,A.STATUS
from tbltimeregister1 a,
     tblemployee b,
      tbldepartment c
where a.paycode=b.paycode and
(a.hw >0 or a.mannual_hours is not null ) and
a.departmentcode='D05' AND
a.departmentcode=c.departmentcode and
a.dateoffice between to_date('01/12/2012','dd/mm/yyyy') and to_date('31/12/2012','dd/mm/yyyy')
ORDER BY A.PAYCODE,A.DATEOFFICEit is displaying the hours for the date in b/w date ranges exist in master table.
my problem is that if any date of a month is not in master data ,it should display the given date in DD format with 0 hours , A(absent) status, and null shift by default.
pl tell me how to modify my query for getting my desirable result.
Thanking You
Regards

pl tell me how to modify my query for getting my desirable result.Your problem isn't exactly clear to me. How do you pass the dates to be compared to the DateOffice column? It will be better to ensure the Master table contain data for each date (with some default values) and you will not have to tweak your sql.
Below is a possible solution:
select *
from
select a.paycode,b.empname,c.departmentname,to_char(a.dateoffice,'DD') dateoffice,a.shiftattended,round(decode(a.hw,0,a.mannual_hours,a.hw),0) hw,

union
select a.paycode,b.empname,c.departmentname,to_char(&date_variable,'DD') dateoffice,null,round(decode(a.hw,0,a.mannual_hours,a.hw),0) hw,

a.departmentcode=c.departmentcode and
ORDER BY A.PAYCODE,A.DATEOFFICEIf this is not what you are looking for, then
1. Post a script that helps us to create the Tables required in your query
2. Some sample data. That includes the data for master table that has missing dates (4-5 rows should suffice)
3. The expected results from the sample data you posted.
Please do not forget to mention your version:

Disable monitoring for non-system disks.

Hi all,
Our backup server dynamically mounts disks (with drive letters) when it's backing up a Virtual Machine.
These disks are giving a lot of alerts in our monitoring that we don't need, therefore we want to disable monitoring for these disks. What is the best way to disable monitoring for these non-system disks ? As I said, these disks are dynamically mounted and
unmounted ...
Any experience with this case ?
Kind Regards,
J. Monnens

This is a bit surprising, since the logical disk discovery only runs once a day, plus it's not supposed to discover network and removable drives.
That means that your disks are mounted when the discovery runs and that they appear as "real" logical disks...
Unfortunately there is no "sync time" parameter for this discovery, which would have allowed you to specify the time of the day at which the discovery runs; thus allowing you to set a time at which you know the drives are not mounted.
Is there any other parameter that could help identifying these specific disks, besides their letter, so you could add them to a dynamic group?
Otherwise, what you could maybe try is to create your own logical disk discovery based on the native one, but with specific settings that would exclude your drives and then disable the native discovery.
But this again implies that you have something that would let you identify specifically your mounted drives... Also the native discovery is a quite complex VBS, I wouldn't actually recommend disabling/modifiying it.
Maybe I could have another idea with more details about your environment...

LR 1.3.1 waiting for non-existing xmp and thm files

I am experiencing a problem where Lightroom 1.3.1 stalls while I am scrolling through larger folders/collections. This happens on some (specific) folders only, but can get to a point where LR becomes unusable.
Trying to nail that down, I used a file monitor (filemon from sysinternals) and spotted that LR is looking for xmp and thm files that do not exist. The reason this is slow for me probably relates to the fact, that this search happens over my local network (because my original photos are on a different computer). Estimating numbers, LR waits approx 500 ms per photo (looking for .xmp, .XMP, .thm and .THM in that time), but only for some photos in that folder.
I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3.1 and am quite certain, that this was smooth with 1.2.
My catalog definitely doesn't write to xmp automatically. I do in fact not have a single xmp file in any of my directories. In catalog settings I also have the 'Include develop settings in metadata in jpg...' deactivated (what does that btw?).
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Why is LR looking for those files in the first place?
Stefan

I am actually a bit surprised I am the only one hitting that problem.
Does anyone else have a setup where the original photos are on a networked machine, and the working catalog is on the local machine where Lightroom is running? I assume this is why I am experiencing long delays whereas 'normal' users just don't notice that problem...

UpdateXML for non-existing attribute

Hello
bellow are data for a sreange looking (for me) behaviour of updateXML.
Usually (i mean other languages) setting an xml node attribute causes attribute creation if it does not exist.

Unusual, probably. Documented, yes. This is from 10.2 but would still be applicable to you and your situation.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14214/chapter1.htm#FEATURENO05479
The current UpdateXML() function can only manipulate the content of existing nodes within an XML document. It cannot be used to add or remove nodes from a document. The only way to add or remove nodes from a document is to use the methods provided by the DOM API.So you are going to have to insert/create that attribute in the XML before you can update it. I was going to provide a link to some examples but I can't seem to recall where I saw them in the forums. I thought it was on {forum:id=75} but I can't find it now.

AirDisk for non-Airport disk?

I have an interesting question.
AirDisk looks for a bonjour advertised disk from the Airport in order to know what to mount. Has anyone taken a hard look at the software to see if you could do the same thing with a server. Lets say I have a Mac that has some shares I want to advertise via bonjour and have them mounted just like the Airport ones...Seems like it should be possible.

No, I would like my Macs to automount shares from my fileserver in the same manner that Airport Disk works. Hardcoding shares via NFS/AFP/CIFS is a very bad thing. I have had system completly lock up when the shares go away (to the point that SSH into the box and sudo reboot does not work!)
Thanks!

Keynote prompting for non-existent iTunes library

My Keynote is prompting me for a new location for all 10,000 songs in an itunes library that is has not been on my computer for the past 2 years. Itunes knows this library does not exist, but keynote is still looking for it. I cannot shut down the computer because Keynote is blocking it. I cannot quit Keynote because the prompts are blocking that as well. Cannot force quit Keynote either.

What are you trying to do that triggers this message, specify the exact menu or keyboard command ?
You can force a shut down by continually pressing the power button untill the Mac shuts down.
