"The resource requires a restart to complete the patch update process"
Ever since I updated Safari to 7.1 on my MacBook Air on Friday, I've been getting this pop up every couple of hours. It tells me that the computer will restart automatically in five minutes if action is not taken. So I can either restart manually or postpone the restart. I've never seen this type of pop up on a Mac before so I hesitate to restart. It just doesn't look like an update Apple would have. Attached is a screen grab. Please let me know if you know what this might be for. I just want to make sure nothing has infected the Mac. Thanks
Have you downloaded anything lately?
It might be adware.

I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved. I have now tried to reload again by holding the sleep etc, to no avail
If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync. -
I've tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded. Any suggestions?
Are you booting from the retail disc to do the installation, or running it while booted from Macintosh HD?
It should work either way, but it doesn't always work when booted from Macintosh HD. The system files are supposed to be moved into place during the restart (while the HD is unmounted) making for a long restart time which sometimes causes people to think somethings wrong and abort it. Which is a bad move.
If you're booting from the retail disc it's less obvious what the problem may be; however if you've tried it from booted from the HD and it's failed, then tried booting from the disc, it will fail again because the system components are already on the HD in a disc image waiting to be moved into place.
Whichever way you were tryig, I'd try downloading OmnDiskSweeper (it's free) and using it to see if there's a large package (around 7-10 GB) lurking somewhere that may contain the installer files. If you do, you'll need to trash that before the installer will see a 'clean' system again.
It's also worth asking how much free space you have on your HD - if there's not enough for the installer to use for the temporary package or dmg, it'll fail.
Was there no warning dialogue after the unsuccessful install?

No, your computer says that. Not your phone. This is a Windows problem, not a phone problem.

MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the lau
Hi, I'm new to this forum so please put this thread in the right place if I have made a mistake.
But here's my problem:
I'm using jre 7 with the latest version.
I downloaded and wanted to launch a Java based .jar game, which runs perfectly for the other users but my JRE gives the following error:
Application error - unable to launch the application.
MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the launch file: <jnlp>]
at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source)

at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
On the forum where is the game developed i got the following answer:
''+it seems your OS/jre installation tries to start the jar as an applet which fails, because it's a regular application and not an applet. is there any way you can convince your jre to start LS as an application? i would like to give better/more detailed advice, but i'm not running windows, so i can't check for myself/try to work out a step-by-step guide.+ ''
As I have browsed the internet for hours and haven't come up with a solution I'm asking for some help.That error seems to indicate that the JNLP file is broken because it is missing the starting starting <jnlp> XML tag; I'll take a guess and just say that it is completely empty. Since it works for other users, apparently somehow when you download it on your computer you end up with a broken file. No idea why, no way for me to know why either. I don't have access to your computer. All I can say is: try in another browser and if that doesn't work, try on another computer. If it works there, well then you may have to face the fact that your computer might need a clean install.
And PS: this is a Java programming forum, not technical support for whatever game you want to play that just happens to use Java. -
Reversi Sample - "The project requires user input. Reload the project for more information."
A week ago, I downloaded the sample code examples. Then I extracted the reverse sample code, loaded it and ran it. All was well.
I was just using it as a resource for example code, so no code changes. Now, when I open the project, I get nothing loaded.
Solution explorer displays Solution 'Reversi' (0 Projects). Below that
"The project requires user input. Reload the project for more information."
This message shows for all three sections Reversi, ReversiGameComponet, and ReversiComponentTests.
Ok, so I figure I must have accidently changed something. So, I re-extract. Same message.
The only thing I can think of is that in the options, I changed the startup location for my projects. I like to keep my code projects on the d: drive, so I changed that to D:\!!!W8. I've always done this so that when I create a new project,
it does it in my project directory by default. Didn't change anything else such as the templates dir.
I did set this back to the c:....projects, as where templates are, but that didn't help. So, I reset to my projects directory.
My project that I created loads ok.

Hi there,
Can you provide the link for the sample code example so I can download and try on my machine?

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?
But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App -
i have been exporting lightroom web galleries to my iweb site without any problem. Suddenly I get the error message "finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written" - error code -36 - and the move to the sites folder on my idisk fails..... thoughts?
Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. -
Error: The following required field is missing from the launch file: jnlp
PLEASE help me.
I was at Starbuck's today trying to install new software for my new wireless internet card and when I finished I could no longer access any of my applications that require java... I have a macbook pro dual platform computer. When I try to access www.bayphoto.com to download my application it says: (see below) (which I think is strange because it's all about Starbuck's and it should be my java code- I think...). Like I said - I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this. Please help me or at least tell me whom to call- I feel so stupid- I just need help- ATT? Starbuck's? Sun?

first codebase is not legal URL, File.separator (backslash on windows) needs to be converted to forward slash in URL's.
second, the href is not to the jnlp file, it is to the jar !
href="studentconverter.jar" - should this be href="studentconverter.jnlp" ?

I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.
you can suggest it here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And it is only a problem if you want a blank first screen. Personally, it would drive me nuts always having to swipe over one page to get to my apps - the only time I unlock my iPhone is to use it or run an app, so no, I have no need nor desire to have a first screen with no icons at all.
But, if they'd put it in as an option so people like yourself can also have what they want, that's fine too So send them your feedback (they actually do listen - iOS 5 includes a number of things people have been asking for on these forums, like being able to delete individual entries from the call history, inproved alerts/notifications, being able to opt out of all the location based data they collect,...). -
I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address. Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process. Any recommendations?
Great tip from dorothy. Also, some isp services are more aggressive from others in filtering what they think might be spam. You might check your spam file from a computer, and see if the verification e mails are sitting there. When i wen through the process, the verification e mail came to the new e mail address in under a couple of minutes.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.
I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras. -
The icon on the taskbar is not the usual Firefox one. It is like an installation one. In short, I cannot open Firefox (I am having to use Internet Explorer to gain access to the Internet), I cannot get it to install properly and I am unable to uninstall it to start again with an earlier version. Every time that I attempt to open Firefox, I get the following message: "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade [v4.0] of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have tried that half a dozen times with the same result. I have also used system restore to get back to an earlier status. that, too failed to resolve the Firefox problem.
It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile. -
MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH FIREFOX IS THAT I WOULD GET A MESSAGE TELLING ME THE FIREFOX WAS RUNNING AND I NEEDED TO CLOSE FIREFOX OR RESTART MY SYSTEM.THERE WAS NOTHING RUNNING,BUT RESTARTED ANYWAYS.I DECIDED TO TRY AND UNINSTALL AND THEN REINSTALL.EVERYTHING WORKED WELL.THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE GONE AWAY.THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AND THOUGHT I WOULD DO THE UNINSTALL AGAIN,AND THAT BRINGS ME UP TO CURRENT PROBLEM.EVERYTIME I TRY TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX,I GET THE MESSAGE TELLING ME TO RESTART MY SYSTEM TO COMPLETE A PREVIOUS UNINSTALL.I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT VERSIONS AND THEY ALL DO THE SAME THING.I WANT MY FIREFOX BACK!!!!I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO IE ANYTHING!
