Sigh, another victim of the stealth McAfee install...
OK, I know there are other threads on this topic and I've seen the screen shot where Adobe hides the opt out button, but come on, this should be clearly displayed after the download but before the install. I've also seen Adobe's excuse, "producing FP is expensive", completely ignoring the fact that a wide user base of FP is what gives at least half of CS its value. I've been opting out for years, you got me this time, and rest assured McAfee spent no more than 30 seconds on my machine, but this is just a really lame practice Adobe.

Another victim of the suddenly-missing AppleTV in iTunes
I picked up my AppleTV a couple of weeks ago, brought it home and synced it successfully to a G4 iMac. Put some content on it, and it ran quite well.
Last night I get home, and iTunes cannot see the device any more. The only variable? Installed the QuickTime "security update" that came down the other night. Can ping the aTV, the router can see it, the aTV can get to the internet and view trailers, did the factory reset twice. AppleTV never appears as a device on iTunes 7.1.1(5) on that machine.
However, my girlfriend's MacBook sees it perfectly. It shows up in the Devices list within seconds and can sync or stream, no problem.
Steps I've already taken:
- Powered off the aTV
- Factory reset the aTV
- Restarted the wireless router
- Restarted the G4 iMac
- Logged in as Administrator and a couple of other users on the iMac
- Physically removed and reinstalled iTunes on the iMac
- Verified that I can ping the aTV both from the G4 and the router
- Verified that all devices are on the same subnet
- Verified that all devices can be seen by the router
- Changed channels on the wireless (from 6 to 11)
- Forced the router to 802.11g-only
- Read at least ten threads over the last two weeks about similar problems, none of which have conclusive solutions (Apple's troubleshooting page about this pretty much parrots the user guide and is thus useless in this situation).
Without any of these tricks, the MacBook sees it and works with it. Even with all these tricks, the G4 cannot at all.
Other fun facts:
- Firewall is not and has never been enabled on the G4
- Router is not blocking any ports
- Router configuration has not been changed (except channel as noted above) in weeks
- All of this used to work on all machines involved
And to restate: this all worked perfectly with the G4 for a couple of weeks. I cannot say that the QuickTime update had anything to do with it, and in fact, the MacBook *got this update too* and still talks to the aTV just fine.
The one thing I haven't done is physically wire the G4 and the aTV to a 10/100 hub and do it wired-style.
I've seen several threads about this, as I said. Nobody seems have come up with a reliable solution and there seems to be a lot of casting-about for possible solutions instead of Apple investigating this properly.OK, even further update... it turns out that the installer for the new EyeTV 2.4 AppleTV-compatible software has a problem with the QT 7.1.6 update.
Here's the scenario:
I redid my iMac back to a known-good configuration from a few weeks ago, before the 7.1.6 update. AppleTV now appeared on the Device list just fine, synced up, did everything perfectly.
I installed the 7.1.6 update, and Apple TV STILL worked perfectly!
Then I ran the installer for EyeTV 2.40, and as soon as I gave consent for it to modify some device driver it was using, which I assume means it tweaked QuickTime or iTunes somehow, AppleTV disappeared from Devices, iTunes stopped working correctly, and EyeTV itself would frequently hang.
Reverted back to the next-earlier EyeTV, pulled a good copy of iTunes from my earlier image, and everything started working again.
Late yesterday, Elgato sent me a link to a new beta version of 2.40, which apparently addresses this problem. It has been reported only by users of PowerPC machines, which is why my fiancee's MacBook didn't have a problem. The new patched code works nicely with 7.1.6 and everything works again.
Here's the patched 2.4:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/eyetvbeta/eyetv24_betabuild2654.zip
I'll post another thread about this with a better subject so that EyeTV owners can find it and deal with it. -
Another victim of the Somalia hackers
My account was hacked in such a way that the system wouldn't allow me to change my password. I could not access the account and I couldn't change the password. However, someone else was in my account apparently because when I eventually changed my password and logged in I see several calls to Somalia that depleted my balance. I have made a request to Skype to get me my money back, but I don't know how successful that will be.
I think there's some exploit out there that we don't fully understand. My system is well protected, updated anti-virus, malware-free, etc., so I don't believe this is a straightforward password theft. Moreover, the hackers appear to have figured out some way of invalidating your password token as well. I was able to get the password token to my email account but when I tried changing my password, there was an error message directing me to customer service. Tried this a couple of times, then complained to customer service, and by now my account was locked out so I couldn't even change my password.
Is there any hope of getting my money back? And is someone at Skype studying what's going on with these attacks?Hello kma346:

You are experiencing kernel panics. This knowledge base article gives more information about kernel panics:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
I suggest you run the hardware checker that is on your software install DVD. Unless you made recent software changes, you may have hardware problems. If the checker shows no errors, run repair disk from your software install DVD.
You can also check on the health of your hard drive by opening disk utility and then highlighting the hD (not your files). At the bottom is someting called S.M.A.R.T. If that says anything other than "verified," you have HD problems.
The garbled video may be a completely different problem. Read this (from the main discussion page) to see if it applies to you:

Another victim of the horrid Blue Screen
I hope someone can help me with this. I've been trying to fix this problem for most of the day.
My iBook G4 started going into the blue screen during startup this morning. I've been able to start it up normally about three times today, but the other times, I got one of the following:
Blue screen (this happened the most at first), or
The "You need to restart your computer. Hold down...." in different languages (this one is happening more and more), or
A garbled mess of lines and gibberish on a gray/black background (this has happened about three or four times)
I am able to start up in safe mode. I moved the fonts and got rid of the startup items as recommended in other posts I've seen in the discussions. Didn't work. I then reinstalled my system software (I'm now at version 10.4). That didn't work either.
My computer says that it doesn't have an Airport card (which it does), but I don't know if that's just from starting up in Safe mode.
Can someone help me? I'm at my wit's end!!!Hello kma346:

Another Victim of the Pink Vertical Line
This is my first macbook pro and it turned out to be a flop show. I just bought my 13" macbook pro retina display 5 hours back and I have been seeing this pink vertical line for the past few hours. I restarted, shut down the computer a couple of times but doesn't seem to help. I do not see an option other than returning this thing
Return the machine and exchange it for another. You have 14 days from date of purchase to exchange the machine or get a complete refund.
Good luck,

Yet another victim of the software upgrade
My shuffle was working perfectly until I upgraded the software. Now, my computer doesn't recognize the shuffle and obviously, neither does iTunes. Have tried the Apple suggestions and found them to be quite useless. Has anyone figured out how to make Apple's products work for them? I would love any help that you can throw my way. Thanks!!!

Yet another victim of the Verizon blacklisting
I, too, am unable to connect to pop.verizon.net or smtp.verizon.net from my current location. This is not a problem with my account as I can read email through the web interface.
It really appears that Verizon is blacklisting many portions of the internet and refusing to service email requests from there. That they are doing this indicates that there is some sort of emergency. However, it would be very useful to have some information about what is going on so that we don't spend so much time trying to fix the situation.pfps wrote:
From the long thread at http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/No-response-from-pop-verizon-net-or-smtp-verizon-net/... and other complaints, it strongly appears that Verizon cut off POP and SMTP access from a large portion of the internet, maybe including all foreign ISPa, on or about 17 September 2014.
The problem occurs when you have Verizon email but don't use always Verizon as your ISP. Without changing any settings on your computer, you can no longer access the Verizon POP or SMTP servers. The web interface to your Verizon email is unaffected. If your internet connection hasn't changed, then this would have happened on or about 17 September 2014. If you changed your internet connection, for examples between work and home or due to travel, then your inability to access Verizon email could have happened at the time of the switch.
There may have been good reasons for Verizon to make this restrict access in this way. For example, Verizon's email servers may have been successfully attacked, and Verizon then restricted access so as to stem the attack.
Verizon does not appear to be saying anything about either just the simple fact of the cutoff, the reasons for it, the hopefully temporary workaround, or when a resolution can be expected. It is the silence of Verizon that is the most severe problem, causing considerable expense on the part of its customers. Verizon may believe that its silence is helping to solve the problem, but past experience has shown that being forthright is the much better policy.
I currenntly use Verizon FIOS for cable, phone, and internet, but I am seriously considering changing because of this poor behaviour of Verizon.
Yes they were attacked. Many customers were getting their ID's locke by these attacks. Yes they may have to whitelist your ISP or IP address. They initially blocked all overseas, but will whitelist as they are contacted by customers. They are currently suggesting you try the MYFIOS app (if you have it) to see if you can access your mail.
If you use the Yahoo interface YOU MUST now add @verizon..net to your userid.
If you cannot access try contacting them directly or if you cannot, PM one of the Admins on the boards. NOTE, NOT THE CL"S, we are not Verizon employess but just peers like yourselves. -

I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.
I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.Hi Mirrormonolith,
Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
Please let me know of that worked.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????
It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this. -

Adobe requires an ID account to install software on a single computer. However I have a portable Mac as well as a desktop system. Can I install another copy with the monthly paid installation on the second computer or do I need to buy another seat with the same account?
J-GMHey tferm78!
I have a couple of options for you to consider. First, you may simply want to authorize all of your computers for your iTunes account and turn on Automatic Downloads, so that when you download something on one computer, it will automatically download to other computers:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

You could also look into iTunes Match, a service that would seamlessly link all of your iTunes libraries:

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?
Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

Hi Everyone,
I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
to another computer.
My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
The following are some details about the problem:
1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
My questions are the following:
1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.
Faen9901Re: Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901Faen9901,
1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.
