[RESOLVED] My windows XP machine is trying to open .VIs in Labview 7.0 instead of 8.5

Edit: Looks like I'm not sure how to delete a post so I'll just update with how I resolved the issue: by opening LV8.5 and running a .VI from this instance, the option to use 8.5 became available in the 'open with...' list!
Howdy!
Somehow over the weekend my machine (Windows XP, 32-bit) decided that it wanted to start referencing LV 7.0 to open .VIs instead of v8.5 like it's been for the previous months. The main issue that I'm seeing is that since all versions of labview are simply called "labview.exe", I can't get Windows to change from one version to the other (since, in the 'open with...' interface, it doesn't show another instance of Labview when I navigate to LV 8.5 via the browse function) and the registry is just as ineffective -- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.vi\OpenWithList simply has "labview.exe" with no information of version whatsoever.
So I come to you fine folks of the forums: Have you come across this issue before? If so, how was it resolved?
Thanks much!

Windows error notice when trying to open ELEMENTS download in MacBook Pro

I successfully downloaded ELEMENTS 11 onto my Mac desktop, and it works fine. I then attempted downloading onto my MacBook Pro, and it appeared to download all elements of the bundle appropriately. However, when I try to open ELEMENTS, it shows a box (like DOS language) and tells me I can only open it in windows. What do I need to do to correct this?

I attempted downloading my second copy direct from Adobe. It went through
the process of "downloading bundles" etc, took about 30-45 minutes to
complete, then gave me an "Installation Successful" message. However, there
is no Elements application icon on the computer, and I cannot find anywhere
the program downloaded to. There are only two files showing in "Downloads",
and they are PhotoshopElements_11_LS15.exe and .7z, 1.3 MB and 1.06 GB
respectively. Clicking the .exe file brings up a msg saying "this program
must be run under Win32, and the 7z file comes up with the message that
there is no application to open the document. Other than that, there are no
other Photoshop/Adobe application files to be found.

Cannot join Windows XP machines to the Mac PDC domain

Frustrated...
Yesterday, I was able to successfully add 5 Windows XP machines to the Mac PDC Domain (lets call it xyz.lan). Those machines show up as valid computer accounts in Workgroup Mananger (PC1$, PC2$, etc.). Users are able to logon to those Windows XP machines using their Mac Open Directory user account and access their home folder, etc.
This morning, for some reason, I can no longer join XP machines to the Mac PDC domain. On both PCs I tried it with, I receive a "Insufficient System Resources exist to complete the requested service" on the Windows XP machine. I am using the diradmin user account and password to supply credentials. Same exact process as yesterday (which worked fine).
A couple things of note. I made sure the PDC domain is set to Enabled for allowing Guest Access and that WINS Registration is also enabled. Authentication is lso set for NTLMv2 and NTLM for enabled. I also tried rebooting the server this morning as well. It's running 10.5.4. This was not an upgrade from 10.4, but a fresh install of Leopard.
No changes were made on the server between yesterday and today that I am aware of.
Looking at the /var/log/samba/log.smbd log, there are thousands of entries for "This process has forked and you cannot use this corefunctionality process, You must EXEC()" etc... The log also shows failures when the XP machine tries to join to the domain. Log entries are listed showing, "pdbdefault_createuser: failed to add new account for 'PC6$'". Adding PC6$ manually via Workgroup Manager doesn't help either.
Any idea what to check next? I read so many varied things about Leopard and SMB not quite playing nice. People mentioning they had to go through all sorts of hurdles to get this working. Any advise is welcome.

Any news about this? I'm having the same problem trying to join a Vista box to the domain. Here are the logs:

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine and having issues

I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine. It says "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections".
My first stop in trying to solve this problem was here:
[URL="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/command-line-hack-for-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"]howtogeek.com[/URL]
And it says:
[I]
[INDENT]This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks
it is active.
The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. ([B]If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions[/B])[/INDENT][/I]
So it seems to suggest that all I have to do really is to run the Terminal Services Manager but I cannot find it.
This web site from mssqltips.com [URL="http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1981/remote-desktop-error-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"](click here)[/URL] says all I need to do is first execute "mstsc /
admin" from the command line. But, when I do that, I get a message when I try to remote to the server, that says this: "To log on to this remote console session, you must have administrative permissions on this computer".
So, what now? What do you suggest?

Hi Bobby,
Yes, it is by design. By default, Windows Server only accepts two concurrent administrative sessions (Administrative Mode). It means that only two administrators can work on the server at
the same time.
If you would like more concurrent sessions, you need to purchase RDS CALs, install Terminal Services related server roles with proper configurations on the server.

HT204053 I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?

I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

Getting "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine

I am getting a "setup.exe has stopped working" message when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows 7 machine. I already tried running setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on the affected machine. Could this be the cause of this issue? Or does someone know the root cause of such error?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi - are you getting it at the start of installation, during or after 100% progress has finished?
Is it just LabVIEW you're installing, or is it drivers too, in which case, what was the last large package that was installing at the time?
This could be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver :

ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine. Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains. Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive. Tried moving "iTunes Library" file. Did not work. Never had trouble like this before.

Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
Thanks again.

We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI. One person is on Windows 7. The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1). I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all. There are different error messaged depending upon the doc. Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...." Others are "insufficient data" errors. There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them. Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf. The files end up with bad formatting. I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution. I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online Would very much appreciate any assistance. Thank you

The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

Cannot install Adobe Reader on Windows 7 machine

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe 9.3.3 on my windows 7 machine, but it will not. Here is what I have done
Through Firefox - installed the plugin (had to do it manually because it would not recognize the application that needed to open the xpi plugin)
let the installation run until completion and clicked the green completion button
tried to open a pdf, but it could not find the application needed.
I went to program files, and it was not completely installed.
i tried to download the read exe and run it manually. Again, it looked like it was completed, but would not open pdfs
I tried all of this through IE, with the same results
I tried to uninstall all the Adobe products I could find, including flash, but this did not help
I rebooted multiple times throughout this process, but that did not help.
Why won't Adobe install on my computer?

This can be horribly frustrating, I am so familiar with your issue. However, with a little time, you might be able to get to the root of it. For what it's worth, I've found that very few companies "online" are easy to reach with regard to issues like this. I hate to say the Apple word, but need I say more? If you have an iphone, then not much compares to that recent mess....
In any case, for me, this update problem seems to happen with every big launch of software or update that comes out and then all of my settings, throughout my system locally and globally have to be corrected.
I've gone through this twice of recent, and it took me a LOT of patience, and a few days to really get it handled. Perhaps because I'm slow, and can't remember where all of the settings are that require attention, or maybe just can't seem to stop whatever project I'm on at the time to really deal with the update properly. The best advice I can give is to set aside the time (a couple of hours) to focus and troubleshoot from the beginning and avoid multi-tasking when trying to resolve this.
Please look over the forum as many people have resolved their issues with a few tips. I resolved my issue by first removing everything and cleaning up remaining remnant files, then downloading the appropriate programs (flash/reader, etc.), then hunting down the folder where it was loaded (mine was in my temp file as the download manager didn't work), then clicking the exe. file to open and run. Also, my security software was causing conflict for me too (that included browser and virus). I ended up having several downloads sitting in files that I had to clean up because I wasn't sure if I was installing at first, so check that. Other things include clearing your cache, and registry (if you need help, visit Microsoft.com/answers forum....another responsive company) and making sure you do a clean install.
And, just for the record, that probably wasn't the most appropriate choice of reply from the moderator to you, but I still do believe that this product is definitely worth spending the time to fix. Adobe has made working in my field 1000 times more efficient and enjoyable!! Once you get it running, you'll be glad you did.

Printing using printer on Windows XP machine

Hi there,
Am having some problems setting up my macbook to print using the Epson DX9400f attached to my mum's pc (running Windows XP).
I have the printer drivers installed on here, and when we plugged the printer into my macbook it worked fine.
I've tried using SAMBA in the advanced pane, but whenever I try and print it either pauses the printer, or comes up with a CIFS host error message (couldn't find many solutions to this problem).
I'm not sure if I'm getting the SAMBA address wrong - most of the advice seems to need the windows username and password, but mum's pc doesn't have a password (could that bbe a problem?).
I know the IP address of the computer, but the printer doesn't have one as it's connected via USB to the pc.
If I try adding the printer using the Windows button, the workgroup appears but nothing else (any solutions?), so that's not much help.
I can file share with the pc no problems, but this printing is doing my head in and it would be useful to have as I have a masters to print off soon, and don't want to keep transferring things to her machine in order to print.
Any suggestions?
Apologies for the mass of information,
Cheers.

Hello Cate_B and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The CIFS host error message is often a result of the Mac not being able to resolve the Windows computer name. This would be confirmed by the fact that when you selected Add Printer > Windows, your mums computer did not appear after selecting the workgroup. A solution could be to check what workgroup name is set in her Windows and ensure your Mac is set to the same workgroup name (set via the WINS section of the Advanced network settings.
For an easier fix you could try the SAMBA method again, but this time I suggest you try the following syntax.
smb://IP Address of Mums Computer/Sharename
Some other things to check...
1. Make sure the printer is shared by mums computer and ensure a guest can access it.
2. Ensure the share name is short (about 8 characters) and contains no spaces.
3. Check that your Epson driver will work when shared by a PC. Some Mac printer drivers will only work when connected directly to the Mac via USB (this is the case with a number of Canon drivers). In this case, you need to use an alternate driver based on CUPS, such as the Gutenprint driver set. These will work across a network and a cross-platform share.
Hope this helps you...

Windows Vista Machine Can No Longer Connect to Mac Following Upgrade

Before: Windows Vista machine with 6 drive letters mapped to the 6 hard drives in my Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
After: Mac Pro upgraded to 10.6. Now the Vista machine cannot connect to any of the drive letters, nor can it open the Mac Pro by browsing -- the Mac Pro shows up, but cannot be opened. A second Windows machine also cannot open any shares on the Mac Pro.
I have checked all of the settings in Network on the Mac Pro and they look fine. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

[RESOLVED] My windows XP machine is trying to open .VIs in Labview 7.0 instead of 8.5
