Strange Behaviour after 6.0.2 install

Hello all,
This is my first posting to Apple Discussions, so please be kind...
I recently installed iTunes 6.0.2 via Software Update and noticed strange behaviour while trying to edit a smart playlist. I have a smart playlist set up to select songs between 3 and 5 stars in My Rating, which have not been played in the last four weeks. While trying to edit the star range, I found that I could only select two stars or five stars. If I clicked one star, it changed to two; if I clicked any other number of stars, it changed to five. As a test, I restored the previous iTunes.app from backup and the problem disappeared.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Jon

Hello Web_Diko,
I'm sorry but I don't know where you can find that package. I take nightly backups of my machine so I just restored the previous version from my backup. Maybe try a search for "iTunes 6.0.1" on Google or on www.apple.com?
When I mentioned the "privacy thing" I was alluding to the various items about iTunes 6.0.3 "phoning home" with details of what tracks you are playing together with your Apple ID. It doesn't bother me personally, but I think that the complaints are legitimate, because people should be told whenever they install a program that sends information back to the vendor.

Strange Behaviour after re-installing the OS

Hi people.
Basically, i've been experiencing some strange behaviour with Safari since re-installing my OS. I'm running Safari 3.0.4, and i'm on a G4 iBook running 10.4.11.
Firstly, it's not remembering passwords and user names to a few sites. My homepage is set to a Auto Forum i use daily. Now, when putting your password in you can check a little box that says 'Automatically log me in each time i visit'. I tick the box, when Safari ask's if i want the password to remembered i say yes. log-in as normal. If i then go away from the page and come back to it without quitting Safari, it's asking me to log in again. It remembers my password details etc, but doesn't perform the auto login like it used to. I've reset Safari, cleared Cookies, Cache etc, but to no avail. It's becoming quite annoying!
Secondly-the scroll bar on the right side of the screen keeps disappearing-and when it does, i can't manually scroll down the pages with the arrow keys either. Any thoughts? If manually moving from site to site, it's ok-it's when i access my bookmarks page and the scrollbar disappears, that it seems to remove it for good. I then have to quit Safari and re-launch it. But then i'm back to square one! If i need the favourites, i'm stuffed!
Any help appreciated...
Dan

Hi!
Thanks for the reply! I've started to download the update, got Pacifist already so it's just a case of the download finishing. I'm a bit worried though, i ran disk utility earlier and it came up with 2 errors, one of which couldn't be repaired. I hope it's not the HD on it's way out and causing problems as the new HD isn't even a year old yet...
I get a bold red message when using Disk Utility, which reads:
"Invalid Leaf record count
(Should be 2 instead of 46)
1 Volume could not be repaired"
I guess i'll give the Safari thing a go, then go for Disk Utility as per the other thread. Don't really want to wipe the HD and do another install-only done one 2 weeks ago!

Strange behaviour after querying a friendly device name

Hi,
I have observed some very strange behaviour after querying the friendly name of an audio capturing device. This is my code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <mmdeviceapi.h>
#include <Functiondiscoverykeys_devpkey.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    HRESULT hr = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
    if(FAILED(hr)) throw;
    IMMDeviceEnumerator *pIMMDeviceEnumerator = 0;
    hr = CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(MMDeviceEnumerator), 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof(IMMDeviceEnumerator), (LPVOID *) &pIMMDeviceEnumerator);
    if(FAILED(hr)) throw;
    IMMDeviceCollection *pIDeviceCollection = 0;
    hr = pIMMDeviceEnumerator->EnumAudioEndpoints(eCapture, DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVE, &pIDeviceCollection);
    if(FAILED(hr)) throw;
    IMMDevice *pIMMDevice = 0;
    hr = pIDeviceCollection->Item(0, &pIMMDevice);
    if(FAILED(hr)) throw;
    IPropertyStore *pIPropertyStore = 0;
    hr = pIMMDevice->OpenPropertyStore(STGM_READ, &pIPropertyStore);
    if(FAILED(hr)) throw;
    PROPVARIANT propVariant;
    PropVariantInit(&propVariant);
    pIPropertyStore->GetValue(PKEY_Device_FriendlyName, &propVariant);
    PropVariantClear(&propVariant);
    pIPropertyStore->Release();
    pIMMDevice->Release();
    pIDeviceCollection->Release();
    pIMMDeviceEnumerator->Release();
    CoUninitialize();
    return -1;
Please ignore the strange error handling, it's just to make the example code short.
The problem is the return value (as can be seen in the output window of Visual Studio after running the program or using "echo %errorlevel%" in cmd.exe). Certainly, one would expect to get -1. However, I get 0 instead of -1. What makes this
really strange is that -1 is properly returned when the line "pIPropertyStore->GetValue..." is commented out. Why does this have any effect on the return value of the process? I have observed this on two different Window 7 machines with different
soundcard configurations. However, I did another test on a Windows 8.1 machine, where everything worked correctly.
Can anyone explain what's going on here?
Thanks,
Holger

OK, here's what's going on.
Everything goes fine until main() exits.
At that point, mmdevapi.dll's DllMain is called with lpReserved set to a non-NULL value, which is to say, "don't bother to clean up."
mmdevapi.dll decides to clean up anyway (for shame) and calls into some SetupAPI.dll functions.
SetupAPI.dll is waiting on a critical section, but at that point ntdll.dll kicks in and says "you know what, the process is shutting down, and this is the last thread, so I can guarantee you this critical section will never be set." ntdll.dll then
terminates the process, and main()'s exit code is lost.

[solved] AMD Radeon - strange behaviour after mesa-update

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is my first posting, I will try to give as much as detailed information refering to my problem as possible. Please be patient if I ask for solutions which for you all seem easy and logical, I am a Newbie.
The details: I am running a HP Pavilion 17 " AMD Quadcore laptop, 8gb Ram, Arch Linux 32bit Kernel 3.17.1 XFCE desktop with an AMD Radeon graphic card for about a few weeks now. Everything went fine so far, but last Saturday I did an update via pacman-Syu, the update included a mesa package. All went smooth as ever. Then after a reboot the XFCE desktop had stripes across the laptop screen, the mouse cursor had disappeared, also letters of the icon descriptions and the menus were missing, some strange "hieroglyphics" appeared instead of them. I wasn't able to downgrade the mesa-package as I nearly wasn't able to open the terminal because of the missing mouse cursor, then I managed somehow to get into the terminal and gave in the commands but the writing was incomplete and/or did not work because of these strange and missing letters.
No problem, I thought to myself, a fresh install will do the work, so I wipped my hard drive using Parted Magic, then I did a fresh Arch install (Netinstall), this time using LXDE instead of XFCE as my desktop environment. When I booted into the login screen first, it looked fine but after logging into the desktop all the stripes, the missing mouse cursor and the strange letters appeared again. So is there any solution to that strange behaviour ? Before the Saturday-update everything worked without any problems for weeks. BTW other OS work without these problems, I tried Macpup just for fun, no messing-up with my Radeon graphics card happened.
Sorry for my piss poor English I am Austrian. Sorry for eventually causing any inconvenience asking this question. Regards, Fladi.

Strange behaviour after every cold-boot

I have iMac, 21.5", late 2011.
OSX Lion 10.7.1
All other software are up-to-date (including latest Firmware)
I have noticed that, every morning when I turn on the machine, a series of weird things happen, as followings:
1/ The start-up screen has a progress bar running like it does updating its firmware
2/ No WIFI Card installed??
3/ Pixellated screen, take long time to load up the menu bar on the top
4/ No Camera?? (photobooth keeps spinning the ball)
5/ Generally slow
Here is what I have done:
1/ Resetting PRAM
2/ Reset PMU/SMC
3/ Repair HDD permission
All of these strange things will disappear with another reboot (?!). So, I have to reboot 2 times to get the machine works properly everytimes.
Any other idea?

Hi...
Try this workaround:
When booting wait for logonscreen to show before turning on bluetooth devices (keyboard, mouse and trackpad).
Or just let it sleep
What you are experiencing is a boot into safe mode.
Safe boot (otherwise invoked by holding down shift key during boot) will cause issues like you describe.
It will do a forced filesystems check (grey progressbar) Other things you may see is no sound, no startup items getting loaded, slow graphics etc. etc.
When rebooting it will boot normaly, hence your issues will be gone.
More on safe boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
It's a (maybe not very) known issue with bluetooth devices and iMac's.
Please report this issue to Apple. Then maybe it will get fixed in some update.

Hope this helps

Strange behaviour after update to 10.4.7

Soon after updating to 10.4.7 (via Software Update) my MacBooks seems to be defective.
After updating to 10.4.7 I heard the "whining" for the very first time on my MacBook. It cames from the area of the power supply connector. But that's not my main problem.
The next morning after the update, my MacBook seems to be dead. I switched my MacBook on, the start up sound was coming, but the screen remains white and shows no Apple logo. After 30 seconds a lot of vertical lines occurs on the screen. Nothing more happens.
After I checked some possible sources, e.g. the memory modules, I found out that reseting the PRAM seems to fix my problem: The MacBook was booting and working w/o any failures. Unfortunately, only temporarily.
As I restarted the MacBook after some time, the same problem occurs
Any ideas before I bring in the MacBook to service?
Regards,

Missing files? Well the combo is exactly that, a
combination of all previous updates and security
updates. I think it's a misguided belief people have
that the Delta may be missing certain essential
files. Based on that theory you shouldn't use
Software Update at all for any updates.
AppleTalker, normally I'd agree with you on this (never had any problem using Software Update), but in the case of 10.4.7 it looks like Apple actually forgot some files in the Delta (i.e.Software Update) they originally posted:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060705002510509
More on the Intel re-release and build numbers We previously noted that Apple re-released the Mac OS X 10.4.7 updater for Intel-based Macs due to the omission of some files related to OpenGL performance.
According to Apple, the omission only affected the delta (smaller, version-to-version) update, with the combo updater apparently carrying the OpenGL-related files all along. In other words, if you initially applied the combo updater, you do not need to download any additional files.

Strange Behaviour after calling Stateless component

Just like the tittle says, something weird is happening when I call a component this way on attributtes definition
@EJB
private MyComponent component;
then on a method
BigDecimal var = null;
try {
var = component.someMethod(object,somethingMore);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(" Error ");
At this point, is something which I am doing wrong?
Well, the strange thing about this, is that the component's method returns a O.K. value (I See It on the log).
When this value (var) is Zero, the report (the app) works fine.
When var has a value different to Zero, the reporte crashes, and when I look the log, apparently there is nothing wrong on this component section, but lines down, there is the thin which crashes the app:
UPDATE over a Database view!!!
On normal conditions, this update shouldn't happen, it's just a query over a database view, and works correctly when I deactivate the calling of that component, or the result of the component's method is Zero.
I think, there is something wrong on the component (Mycomponent) querys. But, the method is returning o.k. values, then?
Thanks in advance.
Johan T

Yep. You have a bug somewhere. No need to post about that, you already figured that out. Perhaps you even have two bugs: one in your business logic or a query and one in your error handling code.
Good luck finding it. Might I suggest learning how to use a debugger? You're going to need on at this point.

Stacked 2D Column chart - strange behaviour after upgrade to 3.1.1.

Problem is, when I choose chart type Stacked 2D Column, I get values on columns (I want just hints). 3.1 version works fine, and after upgrade to 3.1.1, values starts to apper on columns (show_values checkbox is disabled).
Interesting is, that Stacked 3D column works fine, and values dont apper.
Any idea, please?
Kreso...

Christopher,
There is a workaround for this issue, but since we received the new flash file from AnyChart to fix in 3.1.2, please upgrade to 3.1.2 when it becomes available. To workaround in 3.1.1:
1. Download and unzip the 3.1 installation medium.
2. Find the /images/flashchart directory where the 3.1.1 images reside.
3. Replace the 3.1.1 version of /images/flashchart/Stacked2DColumn.swf with
the 3.1 version of the file from step 1.
4. If using the PL/SQL Gateway (EPG), run apxldimg.sql to reload the 3.1.1 /images files into the database.

How to delete duplicates in oracle 10g ( strange behaviour)

Recently we migrated from oracel 8i to oralce 10g and we face this problem.
When we try to delete duplicates using rowid ( analytical functions row_number()/
or normal delete ) and commit the same , still we find some duplicates to be existing because of which we are not able to enable costriants and resulting in process failure.
When we run the same delete statement next time it removes more duplicates than the required or sometimes required duplicates resulting in abnormal behaviour.
I don not understand this strange behaviour after upgrading to oracle 10g.
It'd be great if some one who has idea on this can throw light on the same.
thanks

Strange problems after installing Solaris 10 u6 on 64-bit PC

Hi all,
I have run into some very strange issues after installing Solaris 10 update 6 on my 64-bit PC (it's almost new). The problems are with graphical applications and desktop environments based on GTK (so it seems, at least).
I have installed Solaris normally, following most of the default options and choosing the "Entire Group" software packages installation. However, after the first login I've seen that:
1. No user creation process was offered to me and I had to login as root (I find it pretty strange)
2. After logging in as root into JDK system, my screen went blank for a couple of seconds and then the system threw me back to the login screen.
3. Logging into the old CDE environment was possible, but launching Firefox from there (using a command line terminal) wasn't. It gave me the following error message:
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: libmlib.so.2: open failed: no such file or directory
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol gtk_init: referenced symbol not found.
It's very strange because GTK toolkit and JDK environment are supposed to be the core functionalities provided by Solaris. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
My system sum-up:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quand Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2 Gb of DDR2 SDRAM
Motherboard: MSI MS-7529 (Intel G31 chipset)
Monitor: AOC LM725
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Hard disk: 2 Western Digital HDs (SATA) 320 Gb each,
1 Western Digital external USB HD MyBook Essential 2, 500 Gb
DVD drives: 2 LG DVD drives (SATA)
Network card: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
I use my system in the following way:
On the first hard disk, I have a one-partition 32-bit Windows XP SP3 installation (ported from my old computer).
On the second hard disk, I have a functioning Fedora Core 9 installed on the first half of the disk's space (the installation is self-organized into several Linux partitions, e. g. /boot, /swap etc; I am a newbie so I don't know too much about Linux partitioning - only specified to Fedora how much space it could use for its volume group). I installed Solaris onto the second half of the second disk.
It has be noted that my USB external drive seemed to conflict with the network or graphics cards during the Fedora installation and caused it to hang sporadically, so I installed Fedora with this disk detached. I also detached it when I was installing Solaris, though it seems to have not influenced the problems I experienced. I also have attempted installing Solaris before I did so with Fedora, but had the same issues.

Well, it seems that the cause of the problem was that my DVD image was just corrupted - I didn't check it vs MD5 codes supplied by Sun assuming it went automatically OK. I downloaded the image again (this time it was OK), reinstalled the system and successfully logged into JDS. However, I am still puzzled why Solaris doesn't offer to create a default non-root user during the installation process.

Tecra 8000: Strange keyboard behaviour after reassembling

Hi,
after reassembling the single keys to my keyboard from Tecra 8000 the keys have a strange behaviour. For example if i press the key 2 the display shows '82' or 'q'. if i hold the key longer, the display shows '2222222222222....', the right sign for the key.
Do you knwo, what i can do?
i had to reassemble the key because my little niece took all the keys off.
thanks for your answer,
Butch

Hi
I agree with Daniel. There is some technical problem and only thing you can do is try to clean the contacts. If there is no success you should replace the keyboard. This unit is older one and I am pretty sure that you can find a cheap used keyboard.

APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

Hi
For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
Thanks
Brian
[Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]

Hi Brian,
it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

No backup possible, even after a clean re-install

I - NEED - HELP!!!
This is what happens before I encountered my problems with backing up my hard drive:
I'm using a MacBook Pro 17" Unibody. The hard drive was partitioned into two partitions. The first one was the bootcamp partition, 50 GBytes in size, running Windows 7 Ultimate. The second partition was the Mac OS X partition, 450 GBytes in size and running Mac OS X 10.6.4.
I had to change the size of the bootcamp partition due to a Windows game installation. For this I bought an used "CampTune 8.0" from Paragon Software. The repartitioning using "CampTune" didn't report any errors so I assumed everything was fine. But then I saw the slow dying of a Mac:
Trying to boot into Windows lead to the error message the the installation was damaged and I should repair it using the repair option of the Windows install DVD. I did as I told but was always caught in the startup loop:
"1. Insert install DVD
2. Restart your computer
3. Choose the repair option"
Trying to boot into Mac OS X shows a strange behaviour ranging from getting stuck in file system checking up to not being able to log in as normal user. Instead I was only able to log in as administrator. And when I was able to log in, there where more and more kernel panics during access to all kinds of volumes (internal hard drive, external USB hard drives, USB sticks...)
Fortunately I was able to save (NOT backup) my users home folder by hand.
And now the strange things started...
I decided to do a clean install of my Mac OS X 10.6.4 and all of my applications. For that I repartitioned the internal hard drive to one partition, chose the GUID-patition table, then formatted the drive using the option "overwrite with zeros".
Then I installed my Mac OS X and the applications and tried to do a bootable backup to an external USB hard drive. This drive I had partitioned with one partition, GUID-partition table and formatted it also using the option "overwrite with zeros".
I used the software "Data Backup 3" from ProSoft Engineering. But during backup there was a kernel panic and after that the B-tree of my internal drive was corrupted. I couldn't be repaired by Mac OS X. But the internal drive was still readable.
I tried again and again with "Data Backup 3", always ending in a kernel panic. But the active thread always was different (sometimes it was launchd, CleanApp deamon, Kasperskys kav deamon) without a repeating pattern.
I was able to make a backup using "Carbon Copy Clone 3.3", fortunately, and started from the backup. After that I used "TechToolPro 5.0.7" to find out if there were surface errors or problems in the directory structure. But even "TechToolPro" caused a kernel panic when accessing the hard drive...
To restore the contents of my external drive to the internal one I used "SmartBackup 3" from Solesignal Ltd. because I thought "Data Backup 3" caused the kernal panics. But it was the same with "SmartBackup 3": accessing the hard drives during backup causes kernel panics...
My last idea then was to use the restore function of Apples disk utility. And it worked. But when I copied the contents of my saved user home folder, I caused a kernel panic when the size of data copied exceeds more then approximately 80 GBytes. And after that the B-tree of my backup drive was corrupted.
This all is strange to me, because I installed a fresh system.
Does anyone encountered similar problems using backup software? And is there a solution for this?

Strange behaviour in Mail

I have ongoing strange behaviour with Mail in Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
As well as randomly and intermitttently dropping connections to my various mail servers, I also, randomly and intermittently, fail to get to Print, or to create a new Mailbox, or to Quit. I just get a beep.
Have to quit Mail - sometimes forcibly, and restart it.
Mail will not automatically reconnect to servers after a Sleep , or moving to a differnt location.
None of this was happenning on an older MacBook, but I was running 10.7 on that machine.
Had to upgrade machine to allow upgrade to Mountain Lion. Not sure which is responsible - new MB PRo , or 10.8?!
Do I really have to re-install OSX just to reinstall Mail?
Any other pointers/hints very welcome.
Thanks

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Nokia C3-01 -strange behaviour/ problems with Noki...

When I was choosing my new mobile, I had two options : Samsung Wave 533 and Nokia C3-01. After a lot of hesitance I decided to pick up Nokia, believing to its high quality despite its poor media potential. However, now I think that it was a bad idea.
      Firstly, I have never thought that Touch and Type won't have ability to adjust brightness of the screen (AWFUL IN THE NIGHT), set up more then one alarm and use many of JAVA applications. When I tried to install some applications, it said- out of memory. Out of memory?! My old SE K770i could much more! What annoys me the most is that I can't use my e-mail account via Nokia Mail. When I press the icon of it , there is an error Null pointer exception and applications shuts. Other strange behaviour- while I was typing sms , suddenly there was hard, long vibration, screen went white and mobile restarted. Other users of C3-01, check this: go to messages, then other messages , then direct , start typing and try to go back to menu- screen turns white, mobile restarts (I'm polish , so names may be a little bit different) . How on earth, can mobile restart so often?.
    , Secondly,the funniest one- Ovi shop. Important thing in every Nokia. Guess what- I can't use it! When I to launch the apllication and try to go to the shop, there is information that it's not avaible for my phone. I used it a week ago and worked properly.
      All in all, I hope that Nokia will share an update of software to this model. I am just so disappointed. What I am sure about that next mobile will not be from finnish enterprise.

You Have 2 options, Try To Fix your Device at Home By :
Soft reset your Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type you need to press *#7780# and then Dial. The security code is 12345. Once you complete this, your phone will come back to factory settings, but you will not loose personal data. Anyway it is recommended to make a backup before performing any of the mentioned procedures.
To hard reset your Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type you just have to press *#7370# and press Dial. The phone will request the security code that is by default 12345. Please be aware that you will loose all the data in your phone, so you should backup all relevant information.
If Problem still persist then Connect to PC Suite/Ovi Suite and Reinstall the Firmware.
BUT U NEED YOUR DEVICE TO BE UPDATED TO ITS LATEST FIRMWARE = v06.05
If still not fixed then, REPLACE YOUR DEVICE ASAP, because as given by Nokia, C3-01 Device Works according to its Specification as Specified.
