Sony Reader Software Issues

Hi Everyone,
I noticed that the Reader Library software is kinda similar to a music software library that I use (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about). However, the Reader Software has some issues like the following:
1. I can't sort the my collections in the order that I want.
2. If I download a book from a website other than the reader library, I am unable to alter the author name or title so that the stories are organized correctly.
3. There is no option for me to sync my collections with the ereader automatically. So if I add an ebook to a collection, I have to manually add it to the Reader.
If you may know how to do any of the above with the software as it is now, please let me know as everything I have done has not worked.
Thanks!

hi
1. sorting, there are collections, you use the little + at the bottom of the read to create new collections
2. you can download files from another website then import them (file -> import), though i do not know how you can fix the author name
3. if you look @ the reader library program, you have you library, then status, then your device, if you look @ the "sync" in your device, you can setup auto sync w/ folders on your PC
(all this is based on looking at the reader for a few hrs, so i hope i did not steer you in the wrong direction)
good luck

Reader Software Sync Issue

Sony has received reports from a number of PRST1 owners that the Reader software has been causing bookmarks and notes to be duplicated with some of their books. Sony engineering is aware of the issue and is currently working on a solution which will be in the next release of the software.

The new Reader software update is now available on Sony's eSupport site:

Sony Reader Issue

I wasn't sure where to post this, so forgive me if this is the wrong group.
I have an issue with my Sony eReader and the "Reader Library" software that it comes with. It was previously working fine for me under Snow Leopard.
I got a new 27" iMac, and migrated my files from my old iMac using a Time Machine backup. Now, when I log into Reader Library, it says that my computer is not authorized to view content. So, the actual software is not tethered to my new iMac.
Should be an easy fix right? Just log into my Sony Reader account and reauthorize my computer. However, when I do that the account page shows that my new computer IS associated with the new computer. However, it won't let me de-autorize it.
I have tried uninstalling, and reinstalling the software, and all the Sony Preferences. No luck.
Does anyone know how to nuke all of the Sony Reader info on my iMac so that I can start over?
By the way, the Reader software will NOT allow me to de-authorize my iMac from another computer.
I had a similar issue with my iTunes library when I migrated my files, but that was an easy fix.
Sorry if my post isn't clear enough... I'm working on very little sleep!

If you have already purchaced using ADE you must already have an ADE account.
Continue to use that same account if you want to be able to read those books.
Your AdobeID may well be the same as your Google email, but the password won't necessarily be the same (indeed, it is much more secure if it isn't the same).
You should probably install the Bluefire app on the tablet, and register it with your old Adobe ID (using the old Adobe password).
The you can copy books from PCs or Macs using Windows Explorer or similar file managers, and read them on Bluefire.
I hope that answers your questions: if you need more detail or I have misunderstood, please post again.

Sony reader not in bookshelf

Just bought a Sony ereader PRS 300. I have authorized my computer and downloaded ADE. My reader does not appear in the bookshelf sec
tion and I am unable to move my downloade files to my reader.

I just received my PRS-300 last night and came across the same problem of not being able to copy a book from ADE to the Reader. After tinkering around with it a little I ended up using the Sony Library to copy the book on my Mac OS X. Here's what worked for me.
Adobe Digital Editions was already installed on my Mac, but after connecting the reader nothing happened so:
1) I installed the Sony Library software from their website, it asked me to reboot, and afterwards asked if I wanted to link all eBook file formats to the Library software which I agreed to
2) I simply double clicked the original download file for the eBook, and instead of the ADE, the Sony Library software popped up, adding the book to the Sony library.
3) Now I had me DRM protected book in the Sony Library software, and of course Sony recognized my PRS-300. I moved the book over to the reader and it's done.
The issue here is that ADE does not recognize the PRS-300, but this is how I got around that.

Having software issues, MBP mid 2012 won't boot

I recently had my MBP fail to boot, it would only load to a flashing folder with a question mark on it. I've had many suggestions as to what could be causing it, and so far I've disproven a couple. It isn't an issue with the hard drive, as I've run the extensive hardware test and everything checked out fine. Also, I took it in to geek squad since I had a membership with them and they also said the hardware was fine. They checked the SATA interface wire and it also checked out okay. They said that it was a software issue that was unavoidable, so they backed up my hard drive, wiped it clean, did something that they call "removing excess security titles," put the data back on my laptop and gave it back. It worked fine for all of 6 hours (6 total, only 1 hour of use) and then crashed again. The blinking "?" folder appeared again. Also, when I boot with the option key held, or command + R and then enter disk utility, my hard drive still does not appear in the startup manager or the disk utility window that usually lists hard drives found. "Macintosh HD" does not appear anywhere, and neither does "Recovery HD". The only drive I can get to show up is my external drive that I use for time machine. this means that I cannot select the drive (Macintosh HD) that I wish to place my time machine backup onto. Please let me know if anyone else has had this issue, and let me know if there are any suggestions on how to resolve this issue (preferred without taking it to apple store, dont have any near me.) Thanks in advance.
I posted a related question yesterday, so if you would like some more background info on the matter, you can read this one as well.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26090958#26090958

Resolved this issue myself, and have decided to never trust Geek Suqad with any of my tech again. The issue was simply a faulty SATA cable. I didnt buy an external enclosure, but I did get a friend to let me pop the hood on his MBP and swap SATA's for a couple minutes. It booted perfectly to my desktop without any lag.
Reasons why Geek Squad will never see me again...
1. They charged me $80 for a data backup when I could have easily done that myself at home.
2. They misdiagnosed my problem as a "software issue." Gave it back and issue wasnt fixed.
3. Took it back in and they misdiagnosed it again. Since they determind the HDD was fine, they automatically      assumed it was the logic board and wanted to charge me $500-$600 on the spot to ship it to repair facilities and      have it fixed.
4. A 19 year old kid equipped with Google and Youtube (me) was able to diagnose, confirm, and repair something      in 1.5 hours that they couldnt even correctly diagnose in 4 days of working on it.
5.That "removed excess security titles" thing I mentioned... Yeah all they did was go into my applications and      delete one of my antivirus apps and my battery health app. They said that sometimes viral protection apps can      compete with one another and cause damage. That makes absolutely no sense to me!!
Needless to say, NEVER trust your computers with Geek Squad. They can't even correctly diagnose a faulty WIRE.
Lesson Learned: Always take Apple products to Apple technicians regardless of discounts elsewhere.

PC Card not recognized - hardware or software issue?

Hello All,
this is my first post to this forum. I own a PowerBook G4 (late 2005) since February 2006, but still do consider myself being new to the world of Mac.
Most questions in this forum get good and detailed answers. That's why I hope someone here can help me with some issue regarding my PowerBooks PC Card slot. Thanks in advance for reading this.
I can't get some special PC Card to work. I'm not sure if it's an hardware or a software problem. For now, I guess it's an hardware issue with the PC Card slot. Regarding this, my Apple Service Provider told me, they will charge me a fee of 90 (Euro-)bucks, if their result of checking the PowerBook is, that the PC Card slot has no hardware damage and needs no repair. I'd like to have some more certainty before paying this for no reason.
Some facts:
* The PC Card is an Option GlobeTrotter HSPDA 7.2 READY DataCard
* This data card proved to work well in a linksys WRT54G3G router
* I installed a vendor specific driver/kernel extension/whatever that came with this card
* When the data card is inserted, it seems to get power from the pc card slot, since some lights on it start to flash
* At the same time a message occurs in system.log:
'Unable to create cardbus nub for socket 0'
* The card +does not+ appear in System Profiler
Provided that a pc card slot works correctly: Does system profiler at least displays an entry in section 'PC Cards', even if a certain card is not supported?
I'd like to ask you to tell me what you think. Please make a guess, if it's an hardware or a software issue, and let me know for what reason.
Thank you!

Hi eww,
thank you, any help/hint/idea is appreciated, cause I ran out of ideas myself.
I bought the card from a company called nova media: http://www.novamedia.de/epages/e_produkte_gt_hsdpamac.html. Novamedia develops drivers and connectivity software for those data cards by Option, and sell them bundeled with hardware. So I'm pretty sure this card basically works on PowerBooks. Their support answered several of my questions, and even developers got involved, but at the end they couldn't say for sure if it's their drivers or my PowerBooks fault. They never had this kind of error before.
Entry 'PCI Cards' in System Profiler shows 5 devices, no matter if the card is inserted or not:
Entry 1 ... is a network controller
Entry 2 ... Card: TXN,PCIXXXX-00, Type: cardbus, Bus: PCI, Slot: PC Card
Entry 3-5 ... USB20 devices
I had a look at the darwin source code (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/IOPCCardFamily-45.tar .gz) for the cardbus stuff and even found the log statement, but beyond that, got no clue from it. Unfortunately I'm neither a C programmer nor a device driver expert.
I guess, the best thing is to bring the PowerBook to my Apple Service Provider now. I'll leave a message here in 1 or 2 weeks what the results were. Currently I need my PowerBook very bad and can't do without it for several days.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

Keyboard does not connect - have narrowed to a software issue as it works in safe mode, but do not know how to resolve the software issue

I was in the process of connecting a Razer Blackwidow USB keyboard to my iMAC and something went wrong.
The new keyboard doe not respond and now my bluetooth keyboard does not work either. No connectivity whatsoever.
I've tried a number of things, including resetting the PRAM / NVRAM and SMC (interesting that the computer responds to the keyboard commands that are required to reset the PRAM). I also checked all the universal access setting to make sure nothing was interfering with normal keyboard operation.
btw, blutooth seems to think the keyboard is connected I get a gree light. I can even go through the process of unpairing and pairing and it allows me to type in the numberical code to pair the keyboard, but after that, it still does not work.
When I start the machine in safe mode, the keyboard works fine. So I've narrowed this down to a software problem. I tried to go to another user account to see if it's just associated with the current user, but since I have no keyboard connection at all, I can't type in a password, so that's no good.
I've eliminated a number of applications that I have recently installed (including the Razer set up app) that might interfere with keyboard operation, but no luck.
Any suggestions on how to go about tracking down this software issue?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Lion 10.7 Only Boots in Safe Mode. Is This a Hardware or Software Issue?

Hi. On my iMac late 2009 i7 8GB bought last March only. I reinstalled Lion (I didn't erase the whole disk because I have Boot Camp Windows and I have filed there) and it can only boot in safe mode if I use the Mac's built-in EFI bootloader (where you have to press option on restart) menu then press shift after choosing the iMac OS X hardisk. I've been trying to fix it for around 4 days now today. I'm tempted to take it to the authorized Mac shop but that could take weeks to months in our country. If I let it boot normally, it would seem to have a kernel panic and would stop at the white/gray screen. Verbose mode showed that is stopped at something 10 of these like: nstat fail.
Is this a GPU hardware problem, specifically the 3D element of this 4850M GPU? I'd like to do load each kext, each extension manually but I can't find them in Lion. When I use the Lion DVD or the Lion Recovery partition, it's very sluggish, every click and process takes 20 seconds to minutes. If I try to boot in Linux, Snow Leopard DVD or Snow Leopard external hardisk, there seems to be a kernel panic. It's either just a black screen or a garbled screen.
I want to erase/format the iMac's hardisk but in Safe Mode, it can't be mounted even if I use Disk Utility. If only there's a way to force it to mount, I can save some Windows 7 file to one of my external hardisk or flash drive. Does anyone know of an app or program that can mount NTFS files on Lion's Safe mode?
If it's a Lion bug, has Lion somehow corrupted the Mac's built-in (hardware not the EFI partition in the hardisk) EFI or somehow corrupted the Mac or GPU's ROM? Could it be a new OS X virus? Should I then perform in Safe Mode to flash the GPU ROM and the Mac's ROM again (I have the latest)?
Do you think if I erased the whole drive, reinstalled it again with either Snow Leopard (assuming it doesn't boot into a garbled screen) or Lion things will go back to normal?
Has anyone experienced something like this? What was the culprit (was it a hardware or software issue) and what was the solution?
Gbu.

Hi thanks for all the concern and replies. I've tried all that.
I had just got it back from the shop last Friday. It was there for around two weeks. It was a faulty GPU (when you see garbled display that's consisten when booting it the GPU). I have a strong feeling it's related to the Lion install 10.7 or 10.7.1 and may be similar to reports of Mac laptops overheating. It's good the GPU is removable, it might have taken 3 week or a month if it had been the whole board.
It's a blessing in disguise though as with all or most cases because I also got to have the LCD replaced for excessive backlight bleeding (in my opinion), the dead pixel from the previous LCD isn't there anymore (though under the glass there're some smudges but nothing crucial). The backlight bleeding is still the same though in my opinion but at least it's new.
It's a great thing I bought Applecare. I didn't buy it for the iPhone because that's more durable (my iPhone 3G's 3 years old now and it's still solid. Although there are scratches and a crack at the back at the bottom, got sqeezed under the table I think when I sat). I think Applecare is a good recommend for things that get hot like desktop and laptop Macs(are the iOS considered Macs btw?) which are twice or thrice the price of iOS devices.

Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "

I've worked in past creating/importing SWCV, but this is new system PI7.0 and stuck.
A) Is my understanding on resolution correct?
Should I go and apply notes 940309 and create client copy of existing client 001
                                    OR
change role of client 001; SXMB_ADMIN -> 'Integration Engine Configuration' to 'Integration Server'
I have no problem in using client 001 as Integration server, all I want is import of SWCV to work. Thanks. Appreciate the help.
B) Here is what I have done and the error:
1) Followed weblog below and created product, software component, technical system, business sytem in SLD.
/people/srinivas.vanamala2/blog/2007/02/05/step-by-step-guide-xml-file-2-xml-file-scenario-part-i
2) When I import the SWC from integration repository getting error
(Unable to read software component version from System Landscape Directory "server:5<system number>00").
C) Pointers used from the forum to debug the issue, but still no luck
Below are the points checked from the forum and all steps are correct, but still have issues with the import
1) check the RFCs SAPSLDAPI, LCRSAPRFC, connection test pass as the program ID registered with Jco
2) T-code SLDCHECK no errors (followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/78/20244134a56532e10000000a1550b0/content.htm)
3) T-code SLDAPICUST got user PIAPPLUSER, pwd is correct (reset the pwd)
4) logged using PIAPPLUSER http://server:port/sld and it works
5) One of the weblog SLD Check Failed (LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS function doesn't work) referred to apply notes 940309
Notes: 940309
You are installing 'SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+Java' Usage Type 'NetWeaver Process Integration (PI)'.
You don't want to use the default client 001, but another client as Integration Server.

applied portion (PIPostInstallProcess) of OSS notes 940309 and it resolved.
Note:
I still retained client 001 and didn't do client copy as mentioned in the notes. The wizard based CTC tool helped. Here are the details if someone has similar issue and want to know further details:
A NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) Installation (ABAP+Java) has two parts: Installation and configuration. The former is done by the Installer, the latter by the 'Central Template Configuration' (CTC) Tool.

Is this hardware or software issue

Hello
i bought my macbook pro 2 months ago, it was all okay and i was more than satisfied with its performance. 3 days ago, i was working on my macbook and i was using alot of applications, suddenly, mac freezes, i thought that was just 1 time thing, after that it started to freeze a lot, the screen either go to blue color, freeze, or some pixels shows and some n't. i re-installed mac os x snow leopard, while installing i got the same problem many times, finally i made it and re-installed lion again. but the same problem is still there, i have windows installed using bootcamp, and the problem is there also. sometimes everything freeze, but sometimes music still playing.
this is very depressing for me, im like 90% sure that this is a hardware problem, it's still new to send it to support. im still hoping that this is a software issue
anyone had this issue before? those are some links to the problem

Thank you

If you haven't already done so, run Software Update to see whether there's a firmware update for your model. Failing that, call AppleCare.
