SL is obviously a problem!

So, how can I get rid of it? I can't burn dvd's, aperture and photoshop stop in the middle of projects, sometimes whole computer freezes. I want my money back or a fix or something! I bought the family pack but I'm the only one who has installed it. When I first called Tech Support because the whole computer was frozen they said to take the battery out and put it back in. They knew I had the 17" MacBook Pro, no removable battery. Told me 3 times to remove battery. I finally asked them if they worked for Apple? Finally, they got it, ran a system check and said it's fixed. WRONG!
Told me to call back if I still had problems. I do, 10 times a day! Aagghh!
What in the world is going on and how long do we wait for a fix?
Or can I just uninstall SL or will that cause more problems?
Help!

Okay! Well, I've done everything possible to try to fix my computer issues which I sense are related somehow to SL. I even spent 3 hours at the Apple store (well, my computer did) where they ran diagnostic tests on everything, could see issues with my computer, the same issues I'm having but said they had fixed them and right before I left the store they installed a performance update of SL. They were very nice and said to call if it kept happening. They said they've not heard of any problems with SL. I think they need to look at this forum.
So, 3 hours down the road, I'm finally home, turn on my computer and start up Safari and sure enough, within 15 minutes the failures started. At least 10 a day if not more. My HP 6380 won't scan but will print if connected with a usb cord. I work on photos in PS and 7 out of 10 times I get the fail notice and shut down when trying to save and sometimes just for giggles my computer fails me. I can't burn DVD's and various other things happen at random times. All it leaves me with are pages of system errors and other things I don't understand.
So, what now? We have 5 other Macbooks in the family, none have installed SL yet (I bought the family pack with the intention of doing so) and none of them have any problems. I don't remember if my MBP came with a Leopard dvd, I haven't found it if it did. I have the Adobe photoshop extended dvd and the apple care dvd and the SL dvd but nothing else. Eric, the Apple guy said to bring it back in if it still was having hiccups but it's 2 hours away and I don't have a trip planned for about 2 weeks.
It's not the end of the world (unless I've been post processing a photo for an hour) but I'd like to just get on and be able to use all the great things my MBP has without it shutting down a few times an hour. It's such a nice computer and I can see everything so much better with the big screen, I love it.
So, I'm back here and willing to try what Donv(The Ghost) was suggesting if I can. Please keep in mind I'm an EMT and can work pretty well on people but I learned typing on a manual typewriter in HS almost 40 years ago. I'm not totally computer illiterate but it's borderline. If you think it would be better to take it back into Eric at Apple so I don't mess it up worse, I'll make a special trip. My friends I work with say that any equipment I use needs to be Kitty proof so I'm quite capable of really making a mess of things.
Mr. Ghost, are you there? Is anybody there? Thanks for the generous help when I was going to throw my computer through the window last week. And thanks for any help now! Kitty

E70 navigation key obviously a problem

I was rather pleased with my E70, but not with its joystick, which ground to a halt a couple of months ago. The phone has now been with its Maker for repair for 6 weeks. I am told the problem is a shortage of joysticks. What 'joy'!
In the meantime I have bought an E61i (how can I manage without a smart phone?), whose D-pad is better than the E70 joystick (and it's silent!!) tho' still not perfect. Graphics handling is much faster and I rarely 'out of memory' msgs.
I still miss many functions of the E70 - the keyboard is far better and finding the numbers on the E61i isn't easy in the dark.
Hope they find some new joysticks...
But why should anybody wait 6 weeks for a repair?? It would be great if the new lasted more than a year! Perhaps that's why they're keeping me waiting... ;-)

I know it is an old thread, but I thought I post the solution anyway ;-)
I had the same problem and found that it is fixed in the July 2014 CU.

Problem with Battery and Keyboard Light

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. This is my first time on these forums.
Just today I was skyping my girlfriend on my Macbook Pro (that I got in the summer or 2010). I have SmcFanControl installed and I regularly use it to monitor/increase my fan speed. As I regularly skype and play WoW on this computer, my computer temp often sits around 160-170 degrees F.
Today it was at around 170 and I had it on my lap. I sat up and jostled the computer a little and it shut off. The power cord light, which was green, immediately turned off. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and it stayed off. The computer wouldnt restart for about 30 seconds. Finally after hitting the power button several times it turned on.
It worked fine for 10 or so minutes. I assumed I just moved it too suddenly, although I have never had a problem with that before. Then, I moved again and it shut off AGAIN. It took another 30 seconds to register the power cord and to turn on.
This time, when it booted up, it said my clock was set to a date before 2008, althought it was still at Feb 16, 2011. Also, as soon as I turned it on, the fans were going full speed (as loud as when i have SmcFanControl set at 6200 rpm). I opened SmcFancontrol and it says my computer's temp is at 32 Degrees F and 000 rpm, which I know is not correct. I can't change the speed of the fans and the temp of the computer hasnt changed at all.
Also, my battery icon has an X through it and says "No batteries available" "Power Source: Power Adapter." The green light is very dim on the charger.
AND on top of this, my keyboard lights no longer turn on, even pushing F5 and F6. I am in a dim room so they should auto turn on.
I am afraid that I may have overheated the computer, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I was thinking of opening the back up but I dont have a small enough screwdriver at the momment. I also tried doing the "top -u -s3" command to check cpu% and my highest one is Firefox around 10-15%.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking this is gonna require a look at the Apple Store, however I am an out of state college student and I'm not returning home for another week and I need my computer for assignments.
Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks in advance.
P.S. My computer is up to date.

SMC reset works best with anything that relies on power for the machine. When it comes to batteries SMC reset and PRAM usually do the trick. Also a lot of people miss this, do not plug on the top plugs use the lower plug.
As for the temperature on the lap, expect a lot of heat, the computers are designed to lay on flat SOLID surfaces. The underbelly on aluminum chassis laptops act as a heatsink. In addition the rubber feet keep the product high enough so air can pass through and help cool the system.
As far as the adapter you can have AppleCare send you without waiting a week for it. If it is an obvious hardware problem they may do an exception for you if you are out of phone support. Highly recommend APP for the phone support. You would have a battery on it's way to your current location in a couple days!

Crystal Reports print preview problem

Hello
The problem is that print preview of a report using crystal Report dotnet Print Preview is making u201Cblank signsu201D inside words. The blank signs occurs near Swedish special signs like u201Cåu201D, u201Cäu201D and u201Cöu201D. Also near u201C.u201D (dot). Maybe there are more signs making this problem.
The problem occurs for those who have .NetRuntime, or a full installation of Crystal Reports
The problem started when we installed Crystal Reports 12. In earlier versions we had no problem with this.
It feels like Crystal Report have some bug in the u201Ctext rendering engineu201D. This is obviously a problem when a customer previews a text before printing it. This preview should look like the printout. Even if the room between two letters not is a space, there still is a room that is interpreted as a space by a human.
However, if we zoom to larger % (200%) the preivew is matching the report.

Kamlesh

Firefox 4 Beta has problem when printing shipping pages from Amazon Marketplace, it shows and prints strange symbols instead of the packing slip and the label. Do you have any idea why is that?

Well, I installed it 2 days ago and yesterday when I tried to print a packing slip and a label for Amazon customers it printed so many strange symbols that were nothing like what they are supposed to be, not even close. When I printed it with another browser it was all fine, so it is obviously a problem of the new version of my favorite browser. Probably something with the encoding, but since I'm not a computer geek, I cannot give more info. :(

'''If you go the the menu and click "Print Preview" then it will show normally, and will print correctly from there. You must do it this way the first time you try to print though, if you try to print (using the print command) and it is messed up, then it shows it messed up in the preview. It's not a cure, but works for now until this bug is fixed.'''

Restart and shut down problems on MBA

Hi Community,
I have the OS X Lion 10.7.3 Software on my MBA, since I bought it last year in the summer, so maybe my case is a warranty issue!
I normally put my MBA to sleep, but sometimes try to shut it down, it worked just fine before, but since a couple of days it doesn't restart and
won't shut down, the gray wheel modus until I press the shut down button for couple of seconds. I don't won't to shut it down only this way,
there is obviously a problem. I already installed the new update from the software and it didn't even ask to restart, normally it has to restart after an update, right?
I have tried to shut it down from the guest account and it worked just fine.
So it would be great, if someone else has some tips to this issue.
Thx,
Yulya

If you boot into Lion recovery mode (boot holding the command and R keys down), bring up Disk Utility and do a repair disk. Also repair permissions while you're there. If that completes without error, reboot using the Safe Boot by holding the shift key down when booting. That may take longer than normal. If that completes, try a regular boot.
If issue still remains, download the 10.7.3 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 . Before installing it, bring up Disk Utility (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) and repair permissions. Install the combo update, then repair permissions again.
If those steps don't fix it, the next step may be to reload 10.7, however, you may want to take it to the Apple store to see if they have any other guidance. It doesn't sound like a hardware problem, though.

Problem with GenericCatalogDAO JDBC Resultset using parameters not working

Hello
I have a problem with Petstore GenericCatalogDAO. java. The problem is the behaviour of the resultset object when retrieving data from the database.Below are two synareos one that
works (when) hard coded and one that does not work when parameter values passed into the the result set.
1. The code the WORKS.
statement = connection.prepareStatement("select a.productid , name, descn from product a, product_details b
where a.productid = b.productid and locale= 'en_US' and a.catid = 'FISH' order by name"
,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
resultSet.absolute(1);
String s = resultSet.getString(1);
The code that gives me a 'exhausted resultset' error which I think means no results
String[] parameterValues = new String[] { locale.toString(), categoryID };(For example parameters are 'en_US' and 'FISH')
statement = connection.prepareStatement("select a.productid , name, descn from product a, product_details b
where a.productid = b.productid and locale=? and a.catid =? order by name"
,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
for (int i = 0; i < parameterValues.length; i++) {
statement.setString(i + 1, parameterValues[i]);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
resultSet.absolute(1);
String s = resultSet.getString(1);
There is obviously a problem using these named parametevalues with these preparedstatement resultset, Does anybody know anything about this and a fix for it????
Cheers. Roger

Which version of PetStore are you using?

Problems viewing PDF documents created on a scanner using PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)

We multiple Xerox scanners and not all of them operate on the same version of software/firmware. 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) when scanning a doucment to our network and 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). When using Adobe Reader 9.x both documents open properly and are 100% visible. After upgrading to Adobe Reader X, the scans created using the newer version of PDF (1.6) have some missing text/images on the pages and have a grey "overlay" on the page. Again, Reader 9 will view both files properly, but Reader X will not. Any help is appreciated. I have fiddled around with several of the view settings to no avail. Thanks.

That is hardly a solution, the whole purpose of upgrading to Adobe Reader X is to avoid potential threats. There is obviously a problem with Adobe Reader X and veiwing certain documents that needs to be addressed and the way to address it should not reside with "Use Adobe 9 and Adobe 10 and pick whatever version works for your document"

Problems Viewing PDF documents

Hi,
A colleague of mine travels quite frequently, and from time to time receives email from our office with PDF attachements.
He reads his emails using Outlook Web, sometime when he opens a PDF the PDF will show instantly, other times the PDF cannot open, sometimes asking to be save to the PC's hard drive.
Is this a common problem when traveling and using multiple PC outside of the office? And if so, are there ways of overcoming this problem?
Many thanks
LF.

HP 2600n's margin problem with driver 2.3

After installing the new driver v2.3, my printer started to have a margin problem. Even if I setup any margin correctly (on any software...) the page printed has borders cut off and it is shifted on the left (or, left margin is less than the right). Obviously, this problem was found with files that previously were printed correctly.
Only by reducing by more than one cm margins, the print is not cut, but the page continues to be shifted to the left.
Any help?
Thanks.

Try downloading and re-installing the Snow Leopard drivers and seeing if that fixes anything.

Resource metering problem

Hi guys,
I am using a 3-node WS 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster. For all virtual machines I enabled resource metering. However, on a random basis Measure-VM stops displaying numbers, it just returns blank fields instead of values...resource metering is still enabled on a
VM, but all values are empty. This happens to random VMs, while resource metering for all other VMs keeps working properly.
The only workaround is to disable & enable resource metering, however this resets values which is obviously a problem.
Has anyone had this problem?

Dear Susie Ma,
I managed to "catch" one problematic VM.
This is an interesting situation - because this VM is off. Still, resource metering stats should return some values, because they had been collected while VM was working.
I have another VM that is identical to this one in terms of guest OS and resources, and it is also off. This VM does return correct values for RM.
I will copy RM stats for both machines. Problematic VM name is gale-test-vm02, while the working VM name is gale-test-vm05. Guest OS on both VMs is WS2012R2, however as VMs are off I don't think this matters.

Synchronisation problem when using iFS as Portal document repository

Is anyone using 9iFS as the repository for their Portal documents but getting DRG-11602: URL store: access to <file name> requires authentication when synchronising the PORTAL30.WWSBR_URL_CTX_INDX index. This is run under schema CTXSYS, using ctx_schedule.
We use a URL on the Portal folder to access the iFS document and, if the ACE on the document ACL includes World Read, then the document is indexed correctly but if it has no World Read access then synchronisation fails with the above error. These secure documents are indexed correctly, however, when synchronising IFSSYS.IFS_TEXT.
When you put the URL for the document in the browser then you are prompted for an iFS username/password and this is obviously the problem when synchronising. Oracle Support say that the Oracle 9i Oracle Text Reference, Chapter 2: Indexing, definition of URL_DATASTORE states :The login:password@ syntax within the URL is not supported. Oracle Support have also suggested that using iFS as the Portal repository is not standard practice and that we should simply add our documents as items on the folder. Doing this means not being able to take advantage of the added functionality of iFS such as versioning and, anyway, I thought that Oracle had plans to fully integrate the two products with iFS being the default repository in a future release of Portal.
Until then has anyone got any ideas for a workaround because we are unable to index the contents of all secure documents on our Corporate intranet? We cant be the only site using iFS and Portal in this way!

Hello Raymond,
I must say that I downloaded the JBoss Portal Binary and not the bundle JBoss AS + JBoss Portal, because I already had a JBoss AS working, so it was the best way to do it (as it is said in the JBossPortalReferenceGuide). I have both things (server and portal) in the same directory, but I don't know if maybe one of them should contain the other (I have seen that in the bundle, the portal directory contains the JBoss application server) When I downloaded the JBoss Portal and tried to deploy it by directing my web browser to http://localhost:8080/portal it did not work, so I decided to copy the jboss-portal.sar directory from the JBoss Portal to the deploy of my server. Maybe this was a mistake.
But anyway I have seen that JBoss Portal 2.6 comes with the myfaces jars, and as JBoss AS 4.2 uses Sun RI by default, it is going to collapse anyway. Should I just remove these jars from the portal? As I told you before, I tried doing it and I got two errors of not found classes.
Please, any help would be really appreciated, I am losing a lot of time with this bug, because the server keeps getting out of memory due to it.
Thanks in advance.

Airport AppleTalk Printer Problem

Greetings:
I have a MacBook Pro running MacOS X 10.5.5 and have installed Airport Extreme Update 2008-004 (1.0). Since then, I have been unable to connect to my LaserWriter Pro 630 (AppleTalk Over Ethernet Only, no TCP/IP) that is connected to my home network. I also cannot connect to another LaserWriter Pro 630 at my daughter's house. My daughter is also unable to connect that printer. The printers do not show up in the AppleTalk Local Zone under Printers & Fax Preferences.
Apparently this problem has been noted before but was supposed to be solved by MacOS X 10.4.6. Obviously the problem is back with 10.5.5
How do we solve this dilemma? I posted this question on Macosx.com and haven't resolved this situation with them.

Greetings:
I have installed the 10.5.6 update successfully on my MacBook Pro (MBP). I tried to connect to the printer via Airport Appletalk and am still not able to do so. I have noticed that the printer sharing options with my other computers are now working properly so I can print to the LaserWriter Pro 630 from my MBP if I have my G4 up and running. This is also the first time that I have been able to print to my HP PhotoSmart A610 Series printer that is directly connected to the G4. I was able to print to this printer on receipt of the MBP but within a week, I installed 10.5 and was unable to print until now.
Apparently no one at Apple has noticed this "minor" problem.

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

SL is obviously a problem!
