"The selected port, COM1, is not available..."

I had a Sony Clie working just fine on my new Dell XPS 400 with Windows XP 2005 Media edition. It died on me and when I went to recharge it, I got a message I'd never gotten before:
"The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
I just bought a new Palm Z22 and I'm having the same problem.
The crazy thing is, I HAVE NO COM (SERIAL OR PARALLEL) PORTS ON THIS COMPUTER! Consequently, there is no "Ports" icon in the Device Manager.
I'm totally stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Post relates to: Palm Z22

I am having the same problem on both my PCs (HP Laptop and Dell Laptop) using Bluetooth via USB. I can connect with the cable just fine every time. I also successfully HotSynced via Bluetooth the first time.
After shutting down the PCs, the I get the "The selected port, COM X, is not available at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
I've gone in to the Microsoft Bluetooth manger and added and deleted ports several times. That hasnt worked.
Help!!!

Error message: "the previously selected audio interface is not available"

HELP?!?!?!?!?
I'm stuck, and I can't go forward. Here's my issue:
I've bought a Focusrite Saffire LE, a simple firewire audio interface, for use with my Logic Express 7 (with all the latest updates). I run the setup assistant and select my saffire as the audio interface to use, and then when logic runs I get the message "the previously selected audio interface is not available" and it defaults to my Macbook Pro's internal microphone and speakers.
Just for sanity I've tested the audio interface with garageband and it's fine. My other audio apps aso run fine using the saffire as the audio interface. The setup assistant for logic has no problem finding the saffire, so why does it get rejected as soon as logic starts?!?!?
Please - this is driving me crazy.

I asked Focusrite for some help, and they said it should work (which I knew) and made some suggestions. Here's their email:
"Saffire LE should work fine in Logic Express.
Try resetting your logic preferences. Go to Logic > preferences > initialise all except key commands.
Do you still have the same problem?
Do you have any other firewire devices attached?
Have you had any other interfaces installed in the past?"
All good suggestions, but so far no luck.
Has someone else got the same config as me? (15" Macbook Pro and focusrite saffire le)?

M Audio firewire solo with yosemite - 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.

Hi, I recently bought a new mac mini with yosemite OS. I plugged in my M-audio firewire solo and (after a bit of trouble) finally managed to see it appear in GB. then moments later a dialogue box appears with 'The previously selected audio interface is not available'.
There doesn't appear to be any update drivers from M-Audio and the CD that came with the interface also does not work?
I can't find any information with this problem. Can any one help?

Oops. . . A loose lead connection may have been the problem, although still not receiving a signal?

Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013 server properties - The required term set is not available.

Hi,
After creating new document from ribbon with the new document function on any template the managed metadata based server properties cannot be selected and properties boxes are grayed out. Mouse over displays "The Required term set is not available".

There is a two-way trust btw domains.
SPNs are done for AppPools.
AppPool accounts have delegations and are set to impersonate with GPO.
SharePoint Web Application is on kerberos authentication.
There is no difference when sites are using user or resource domain AppPool accounts.
The WFE and SQL Server have computer delegations.

Windows "Easy Connect" does not reply with the password / "Easy Connect is not Available"

Hello,
I have posted a related question some time ago, which was eventually resolved. However, after some time a problem with Easy Connect (used for MSRA) came back:
Whenever I arrive at the point in setting up a MSRA session where Easy Connect is needed, I get the reply: "Easy Connect is not Available". Here is an example of the problem:
Start MSRA
--> as expected, a window with "invite someone to help you" and " Help some who has invited you" appears
Select "invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a window with "Who do you want to get help from" appears
Select "Invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a windows with "How do you want to invite your trusted helper?" appears
Select "Use Easy Connect"
--> as expected, the temporary "Create invitation window / checking network capabilities" window appears
Next, I would expect this windows to close a new window to provide me with the Easy Connect password. However, instead I get the window "Easy Connect is not available".
I cannot continue. (I have screenshots so can repost with them if that would clarity my question)
Any suggestion how to resolve would be appreciated.
(Please do not reply with the 3 suggestions from the FAQ (both computers must run windows 7 / Access to internet is limited / your router does not support Easy Connect - doesn't help)
More background information and things I have tried:
The "Easy Connect is not available" window offers the "Tell me more about how to fix this problem" which I have tried, but those suggestions do not help
If I use the other MSRA option: "Help someone who has invited you" (this would be my typical use case), followed by "help someone new" and than select "Use Easy Connect", I also get the "Easy Connect is not available"
window instead of the expected option to enter the Easy Connect password. I believe this is that same problem.
This happed with both the 32 as well as the 64 MSRA versions
I'm using Window 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with all the latest updates
This desktop PC is wired to the internet via an Edimax gigabit switch, a Dlink DIR-855 wireless router and a fiber modem in bridge mode
The W7 desktop has a single active network connection only
I'm using Windows Firewall and Windows Security Essentials
Disabling the firewall on the PC did not help
Network discovery is enabled in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings (that’s UPnP – right?)
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool does not seem to be available anymore from MSFT sites
Restarting "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" did not help
Restarting "Peer Networking Identity Manager Properties" did not help
Starting up with a "Clean Boot" (disabled all non-Microsoft services using MSConfig) did not help
I would also be interested to understand how I can check on the status of the "Easy Connect" service. Is this a service hosted somewhere, or??
Thanks!

Dear Andy,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Let me answer your questions:
Q: Could you use the other methods: save this invitation as a file and use e-mail to send invitation?
A: yes, that way I can establish a MSRA connection
Q: Have you disable other network connections, including disable all virtual network card?
A: if I check with ‘Device Manager/Network Adapters’ (or Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections) I see two network adapters (my Asus motherboard has two network connectors). Both are available, but only one is used. I have
disabled one. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I will leave it disable for now.
Q: To find detailed information about this issue, please locate to event view and find the logs about remote assistance.
A: I have to admit that the Event Viewer is unfamiliar territory for me. So, I’m not sure where and what to look for. However, as suggested, I found "Event Viewer (local)/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Remote assistance/Operational".
Each time, I attempt to use MSRA/Easy Connect, it seems two entries are added. As I cannot seem to upload files with this post, here are just the two entries:
“Diagnosis Repro Attempt resulted in a failure.”
“Remote Assistance troubleshooting has confirmed the problem: Remote Assistance Easy Connect isn't available.”
If you need more details, please suggest what to forward or check. I'm eager to find a solution!

Hi,
Your Tomcat is running also in port 8080.
Change Tomcat or EPG port
This might help change XE EPG port

Erase free space can't be selected or "erase" is not available

Hi
Today I found that Erase free space can't be selected or "erase" is not available , and I don't know !
I need to get free space ,I know its not a good idea but I need to do it .
So please help me ,if there is something wrong on my mac
Teach me step by step how to show that button ON
Thanks a lot

Please note that "erase free space" does not create free space. It just makes all the bits in the existing free space the same (so that nobody can recover data from the files that used to be there).
Knowing that, do you still need to erase free space?

HT4623 The software update option is not available under my general tab...now what

The software update option is not available under my general tab...now what

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.

ITunes Store: "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . "

Hi, I live in Bogota, Colombia. I have a first generation iPad and decided to enter my credit card to my iTunes Store account but I put the data correctly and when I accept I said "Right now the credit card processing is not available. Please try again later . " I tried several days but always says the same thing, try creating a new account at the iTunes Store but do not, someone could help me with my problem. THANK YOU

I was having this exact issue when I was set up to use PayPal as my payment method. I fixed it by -
1. going to my iTunes account and selecting None as my method of payment, then clicking Done
2. confirming this on my account page - which then said Add (or Set up, I can't remember) a Credit Card
3. on the Add a credit card page, I again set up the exact same PayPal account I had before.
4. I was then taken to the PayPal website to confirm that I wanted to use my PayPal account for iTunes purchases, and finally
5. I was taken back to my account page in iTunes, which looked exactly the same as before BUT...
The next time I tried it, my purchase went straight through! (And this was less than 5 minutes after I'd had the "Credit Card processing is temporarily unavailable" message.)
YMMV, but I guess a similar revalidation process would work for credit cards too.

When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available. Any ideas?

When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available. Any ideas?

Find and run the Disk Utility program. In the list on the left side of the program window you should see two hard drives - the internal Mac drive and one labeled with Western Digital's name. (Not exactly sure how the WD drives appear.) Under each of those drives there will be another indented drive name. See picture below.
If you don't see two drives there's your problem - for some reason the Mac doesn't recognize that there's an external drive plugged in. Check cables, etc.
More than likely though you will see the two drives. See how in the picture I've selected the indented drive icon? Do the same for your WD drive. Now look at the bottom where it says Format. To use TimeMachine your format needs to be Mac OS Extended (journaled) and I'm betting it doesn't. After you've done that TM will be able to use the drive.

Adobe says the Magic Extractor Tool is not available in Elements 13 for 64 bit systems. Is it available on 32 bit? Is there indeed a 32 bit version?

Adobe says the Magic Extractor Tool is not available in Elements 13 for 64 bit systems. Is it available on 32 bit? Is there indeed a 32 bit version? Is this tool available on earlier Element versions?

The magic extractor disappeared after PSE11. It's recommended that you use the quick selection tool together with refine edge, if necessary.
From the refine edge dialog you can output your cut-out to a new layer or layer mask.

You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation
