Strange issue with touchpad on Satellite L500-19Z

I have a one month old Satellite L500-19Z operating on Windows 7 64bit.
Whilst using it to edit some photographs, it began to behave strangely. It was as if someone was rapidly depressing the mouse left button. I was unable to exit any program or use the Start Menu to reboot.
After disconnecting power, and battery, I started it in Safe Mode, but the problem was still there. If I hovered over any icon it brought the window up repeatedly. By disabling the touchpad using Fn+F9, I was able to use a graphic tablet to re-boot and it works as normal. I am reluctant to use the System Recovery or the Recovery Discs that I created when I bought it due to the number of third party programs that I would lose.
Has anyone experienced this problem please? What do I do to enable the touchpad to see if it is now working properly?
Many thanks

> Disappointingly there was no paperwork with the returned item to advised what work had been carried out, ie replacement of hardware, drive or software or advising how to open an account.
So why you dont get in contact with the ASP who repaired the notebook and why you dont ask what has been done? Only these guys can provide more details
> When it was returned the operating system was reconfigured so that I could not open it as administrator, had to open new user account. According to Technical Support, the factory use a different recovery disc! I asked if I should use my recovery discs again, but was told it was not necessary. However, now that I have spent several hours downloading folders and installing various programs, I find that Windows 7 is working differently. In particular, no thumbnail pictures are appearing in various picture files, only the picture icon. Same with preview pane, only an icon appears. Any advice, would be welcome.
Of course you can use the own recovery disk and could reinstall the OS again.
But I think its just an matter of Win 7 configuration;

Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???
regards

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,

Strange issue with RAM upgrade: It works but it doesn't! Please help.

Hello Everyone,
I have a very strange issue with my iMac since upgrading my RAM from 4 to 12 gig. When I first installed the new RAM it booted up and ran great. The next time I went to boot the iMac up it swtiched on but didn't get as far as the first white boot up screen. I tried turning it off and on a few times using the power on/off button but still no success. I decided to remove the RAM and reseat it. The computer then booted up again fine. Here's the problem though: when I went to switch my iMac on the next day it wouldn't boot up. Again, I took the RAM out and put it back in and the iMac booted up fine. I've checked the status of the RAM in the system profiler and it reports that everything is OK. So, I'm at a loss. Obviously, I don't want to go through this process every time I want to start up my Mac. Any ideas/solutions would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.

I completely agree with you. It will be one of the 3 issues you outline. The machine was bought brand new and has never given me a problem. It is just the introduction of the new RAM that has started a problem. However, I did just risk a restart and it booted up fine. I don't know if a restart is any different to shutting down and then pressing the on/off button to start the computer. Maybe my last reseating has done the trick or maybe my thinking is flawed because restarting involves a different process to booting up by pressing the on/off button. I don't know.
In the part of the world I'm sitting in it's night time now so I will leave the diagnostics running and check the results in the morning. I hope the issue is now resolved anyway. This sort of thing takes me back to my dark PC days although in this case I know it's probably not the Mac's fault.
Thanks again. Very much appreciated.

Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

Hello everyone.
Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
Any ideas, please?

Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

Re: Does my Satellite L500-19Z support DDR3 memory?

Does my Satellite L500-19Z support DDR3 memory?
I believe it has 4GB (2x2GB 200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-6400 SoDimm) standard memory (800 MHz I believe). I want to upgrade to 8 GB and have seen the following offer:-
8GB kit (2x4GB) of 1333Mhz PC3-10600 memory.
Will my Laptop support it?
Hope someone can help.
Regards

> Does my Satellite L500-19Z support DDR3 memory?
What does the user manual say?
Did you check this?
The memory support depends on the chipset.
If the chipset does not support the DDR3 then you cannot use this.
The chipset is Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset and as far as I know this chipset support the DDR2 800MHz 8GB max memory.

I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing. Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures. I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

Hello cgoldberg11
Please go to the below link to test if you are having a speaker hardware failure.

This will rule out hardware failure, let me know how that goes.

Strange issue with Spry Accordion Panels

Hi, I'm having some strange issues with the Spry Accordion
Panels.
Here is the page:
http://www.bellaclientcenter.com/browncollege/aboutus.html
For some reason when I preview this message it adds extra
characters to the url above, so just delete those off to see the
correct url.
The only browser this does NOT happen in is safari, I'm
seeing it all of my other browsers. You'll notice when you first
load up the page, you'll see that the active panel header
background is green, and the non active is a dark grey. But when
you click one of the other panels they all turn a strange neon blue
color. This is very apparent in firefox.
Any thoughts on this? I've attached the spry css code in case
the problem is there.
thanks so much!!
Jeff

Strange issue with Exchange system

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with one of the Exchange 2013 mailbox servers running on Windows 2012. When trying to upgrade it to the new CU5, I'm getting the following errors:

In the Exchange organization there are 2 CAS servers, 2 MBX servers.
Memento Mori

Hi Vick,
Based on my research, I suggest you should upgrade the AD first.
1. Exchange 2013 CU5 contains schema changes. To upgrade the Schema to CU5 you can execute the following command:
Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
2. And you also should upgrade the
Configuration Partition and the Domain Partition with the following command:
Setup.exe /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Setup.exe /PrepareDomain /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. After finished above two steps, now you can start to upgrade an Exchange 2013 server to CU5. Open a command prompt and enter the following command:
Setup.exe /Mode:Upgrade /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Strange issue with the render percentage indicator

Hello,
I'm getting a strange issue with the FCPX interface - the little gauge that shows the percentage complete a render is - seems to have gone crazy! and is spinning round. I've tried changing project/ restarting fcpx and also restarting the mac!
heres a screen capture of it in action... https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9bwexyuntx0jxd/what.mov

This is traced back to a backup issue.. Hopefully a fix will come with 10.1.4
At this time, the solution is to turn off backup per library...

Strange issue with an n86

I'm encountering a very strange issue with an n86 lately.
Sometimes when I boot it up it goes through the boot process fine (nokia logo, hands + tune).
But ends up at a white screen.
Strangly I can shutdown the phone normally, and even access the menu.
It's like the only thing that doesn't load right is the standby screen.
The only thing I installed lately is PhoneTorch.
Restarting the phone a few times, makes it work right eventually.
Firmware: V21 (thats the latest available for me)

Could u uninstall the torch app to check if it is the cause of the issue? Lets try the easy one first! If a problem occure right after youve installed something on your device, or changed a setting, it's often wise to try to uninstall or undo what u have done to it. If this fails we have to look at other possible solutions.

Strange issue with left mouse clicking freezing other inputs on the Mac

I'm having a strange issue with my game. I'm using Flash CS6 and a Mac.
I've got a character that I move around the screen with keys, and you can click the left mouse button to make him throw something. The weird issue is when I click the left mouse button a lot, it seems to stop any other inputs from coming in, so for example, if I hold the right arrow key down while I'm doing a left clicking, and then let go of the right arrow key, the character will keep on moving right for a few seconds, until it finally get's the key_up event and stops.
Even not using any mouse event handlers, so the mouse is doing nothing in the game still causes the key inputs to be delayed just by left clicking, any ideas?
I've just tested the .swf on a PC and there was no problem, the mouse clicking was not causing any issues, so it's something peculiar to the Mac.

Hi,
This could be an issue if you were using Safari 5.1+ in 64bit mode. This should go away if you run Safari 5.1+ in 32 bit mode. You can change this by
1. Go to /Applications
2. Find Safari->RightClick->Get Info->Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' check box.
3. Relaunch Safari 5.1 again.
Thanks!

Strange issue with VPN

Hello, I have a strange issue with a VPN we have on our ASA 5520. We have 2 subnets my side of the VPN that can get to 27 subnets on the other side of the VPN. However the last remote subnet which I will call 28 I find only 1 of my 2 subnets can get too. When I reset the tunnel I find that my subnet cannot bring the IPSec tunnel up but the othe side of the tunnel can. When I view my VPN tunnel Rx always has a value but Tx is always zero, which suggests the traffic isnt even getting there, but this subnet is all the same rules as the other subnets that work. Any debug commands or tracing you can suggest? I've had others look at the issue and the cant see an issue. Thanks

Looks like you have a OD server setup for user authentication so you need to run this
vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1
that will add the correct record to OD and it will authenticate.
