Total failure

This is a problem that has progressed to the point of booting up. I get little squares across the screen and the MBP does not follow any commands, I have to hold down the power for 10 to turn it off. I can not even insert a boot disc. I was wondering if there is out there with any idea what this problem is and how I may be able to rectify it?

You best bet to rectify the situation is to either call apple, or bring it in for repair. What you are experencing doesn't sound right.

Total Failure of CC 2014 Apps on Windows 7

Total Failure of CC 2014 Apps on Windows 7
Yesterday (Thursday16 Oct 2014) I had one of those tech issues that stretch the imagination and patience of a customer. After using CC for the past two years, and generally very happy with the response and resources, I updated all my app to the CC 2014 releases.
I expect a few bugs (which are usually corrected quickly) but not a total failure. In my case InDesign would open, but lock up. It could not be accessed or terminated without using the Task Manager. Illustrator would open and run, but could not be terminated without the task manager. Photoshop worked, I didn't try the remainder of the apps.
I started at 10am trying to figure it out. I deleted all the preferences, cleared CC preferences, reset VRAM, all the usual steps.
At 11a I called tech support and that started what ended up being a four hour cycle of two tech support calls with remote access which produced zero results and plus my time of more than 4 hours uninstalling/reinstalling first the CC2014 apps and then finally uninstalling all CC2014 apps and re-installing the CC apps (but that's the end of the story).
Both tech support personnel were polite. But they took me through and agonizingly long stretch of nothing. It was like a four hour Seinfeld episode.
Before I continue understand that I have, by design, a totally generic machine. It is Win7 64B, 8GB of ram, NVIDIA Video, 4TB of high speed disk drives and standard software. I have GB Ethernet, and Comcast commercial service with 50/15, almost zero latency. The only semi-intrusive component is MS's Security Essentials. All drivers are up to date with the latest or latest stable versions.
Also note that I have been using Adobe products on Mac and PC since 1995 and I have never had an experience like this with any product.
Solutions offered and explored were:
* Increase VRAM to 4x physical RAM
* Make Acrobat the default printer
* Ask if I am on a domain controller
* An a dozen other relatively useless options.
There was a lot of random setting, disabling services, etc. All for nothing. And all the solutions offered were generally irrelevant. Any software that has otherwise worked perfectly for years, that suddenly requires me to uninstall WACOM, uninstall printers, disable services, change network configurations, etc. should be ignored and other options found.
Finally, I told them to stop. I had already lost more than $1500 in billing and I am now two days behind in work. I then uninstalled all the CC2014 apps and re- installed all the CC apps which to no surprise work perfectly.
This is totally unacceptable for a company like Adobe. There is something wrong with the release and I could not get the support personnel to say, "Wow. We better get on this right now." I finally told them I couldn't afford to let them use me to debug their mistakes.
I fear that companies like Adobe, and Apple, and Microsoft are enamored with the speed of online software releases and are getting very sloppy indeed in testing. When they had to burn a million CD installs it seems they were much more careful.
So Adobe, what do I do now? Your mistake has cost me more than the equivalent of two years subscription to CC in just one day. In 24 hours you've effectively doubled my subscription cost (actually quadrupled because I now have to the work and make up the same hours in overtime).
What do I want? Simple...
1. I want Adobe to credit me one year of my CC subscription.
2. I want Adobe to commit to testing as thoroughly as they used to.
3. I want Adobe to fix the CC2014 apps
4. I want to know I can have confidence in future installs.
5. Take away the horrid opening screen on Illustrator CC2014 or let us choose our own images.

Have you received any feedback regarding this issue and reasonable resolution?
InDesign CC 2014 is proving to be a mess for me. It will work for a while, then it won't. I can only use the task manager to close the file. I've followed all of the suggestions for disabling, resetting, preferences, settings, etc. I continue to have horribly slow performance, or no performance at all.
Interestingly, I now have an issue with fonts. Fonts installed on my computer work great in one file. In another file, the exact same fonts, with the exact same paragraph and character settings can't be found for some reason. When I attempt to replace the font a prompt displays that the font can't be found. It can be found in another file, very perplexing.
So far today, I've spent three hours trying to make a file change that should have taken me 15 minutes at the longest.
What is going on with this version? This is a ridiculous way to do business. What happened to trouble shooting and caring about the end product? This is frustrating and my confidence in Adobe has been depleted. The company I work for was looking to upgrade to Adobe CC for all 65 marketing and graphics personnel, I can't recommend that now.
Any new information on how to deal with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

BT Phone Line Order – 9 months of total failure – ...

I've been trying to get a phone line and internet connection from BT installed into a London flat since the 07th of January 2012.
This email/letter does not contain every contact with BT in the last 9 months – as I have not kept records of all the dozens and dozens and dozens of calls, texts, and emails but it is a good enough list to show the general theme of total failure from BT in all aspects of both technical and customer service.
(I have re-written this and removed my 5 or so BT account numbers, the various fault numbers, the dozens of VOL numbers and removed any surnames of people in it in the hope that this will get posted.)
07 Jan 2012
Place first order for phone and internet. BT.com reference: <removed for forum post>.
You can only do Mon to Fri installs. My next day available day off work is 19 Mar 2012 so the line engineer’s appointment is made. 8am to 1pm. I am self-employed and it is not easy to take time off work. In fact it costs me money every time I have to take time off work.
19 Mar 2012
The phone line engineer is late. Arrives after 1pm. He looks at job and says he can't do anything. It needs a new line installed even though there is already a line installed? New line involves a cherry picker and another visit by the line engineer. More time off work. New phone is line installed into flat.
27th Mar 2012
I am informed that the new phone line does not work. Order is cancelled? I get no details on what the problem is and why I can't get a line or what to do next. I have no phone at home so I’ve not tried to use the line; yet BT has already cancelled my Order.
I called ‘BT help; somebody tells me the line is connected to the wrong exchange. I spend lots of time and many calls talking to people in India and I think other parts of the UK. People tell me they are going to call me back and don't. I tried to speak to supervisors in India but nobody returns calls. I’m getting nowhere for weeks and weeks. I give up; it all seems too hard…
7th June, 2012:
Over the internet I place a new order with BT for phone line and internet:
Your order number is: <removed for forum post>. Phone number: <removed for forum post>
6th July:
BT infinity engineer appointment. 8am to 1pm. He is late. After 1pm. He arrives, looks at job and says he can't do anything. He says the phone line does not work.
I inform him the order I placed with BT is for a phone line and internet. He says there is nothing he can do as he does not ‘do’ phone lines. Another day off work. Lost wages, lost time.
No phone & no internet.
Fault is raised:
Date closed: 6 July 2012
Fault/VOL number: VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Open Product affected: Phone fault
Telephone number: <removed for forum post>
Lots of calls to BT. But getting nowhere at all. They tell me there is no fault on the line but will send an engineer that I might have to pay for.
8th July:
Phone line engineer arrives 8am to 1pm. He is on time. He informs me all the existing work is incorrect. They have connected all the equipment to the wrong exchange. It should be the Putney exchange but they have attempted to hook me into the Wandsworth exchange - which won't ever work. Still no phone & no internet. He raises a fault number: LS6 W80 <removed for forum post>
10th July:
9am call from Open Reach engineer. This is not a scheduled appointment. I've had no contact from BT. I am at work. He does not know the problem or the fault number. I give him the fault number and call him back 90 min later. He confirms that I have been connected to the incorrect exchange and cabinet? He can't do anything to fix the problem.
I want somebody to call me with a solution.
I don't want to talk with more people in India who can't help me or even understand the problem. How can this be such a failure?
I use website to email in a letter with the entire listing of existing fault details/number, order numbers etc.
Thank you for your enquiry. We will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible. Please make a note of your enquiry reference number and use it in further correspondence.
Your enquiry reference number: 120710-<removed for forum post>"
One of the issues I am finding is that BT does not link previous faults with new ones, or previous Orders with new ones, or previous Customer Numbers with new ones. Every time I speak to somebody they cannot find any details of the history of these problems so far. BT keep on cancelling my Orders and placing new ones; raising new faults etc. But nothing is linked and when I speak to people for help they can’t see any of the history of the line, faults, address, etc.
19th July, 2012:
I get an email from BT. They have cancelled their own Order again.
Order cancelled. Your order number is: BTCAA6<removed for forum post>

BUT IT IS STILL NOT WORKING..
Sometime around this date BT Priority Help gets involved and lots more phone calls ensue.
27th July, 2012:
After I talk to priority help line and say please don’t waste our time anymore with line engineers that come around and say ‘we can’t do anything’.
BT Priority Help book another engineer visit & we need more time off work again.
The next line engineers visits and he says it is the same problem. He says he can’t do anything. He says it is connected to the wrong exchange. And leaves.
He says his manager will call me. Fault Number: LS6 WPE <removed for forum post>
28th July, 2012:
Call from somebody from BT asking about my street address.
They say the address might not be correct.
29th July, 2012:
Next day call from Franz’s, fault line engineer manager.
He says:
A new order is going in.
Equipment might not be installed in correct place. Correct place should be CAB7 PCB 7 Putney.
Some part of the equipment might still be pointing to Wandsworth.
A new order to the exchange is being place to do it all again.
The address BT has for this flat will not be the problem as it is a new line installed by BT.
I need to wait till Tuesday and see if it works.
A New Order is booked; again.
Monday 30th July, 2012:
I call the priority help line and COMPLAIN again that BT are getting nowhere.
I explain that whatever you have been doing since MARCH 2012 to get this line working HAS NOT WORKED. I repeated what one line engineer told me that it might need to be connected to another exchange. Not WANDSWORTH & NOT PUTNEY but one called PUTNEY/CHISWICK???
I explain to somebody from BT Priority Help Care the days and days and days I have lost trying to get a phone line and internet installed into this flat…
I get a call back 30 min later.
Lady on the phone tells me that all the previous 5 orders have been placed with Wandsworth phone numbers. She has created a new Order, Order number 6, and it is an Order with a PUTNEY EXCHANGE phone number because all the other orders have been for a mix of the wrong exchange and all have used WANDSWORTH EXCHANGE phone numbers – which would stop this working even if the line and equipment was connected to the correct PUTNEY exchange…
1st Aug, 2012:
Text message from BT saying they are having "systems issues trying to correct and update data in the background, and exchange problems".
Monday 6th Aug, 2012:
Voice mail from BT priority care team: Informed "Problems with Engineering and Exchange. They will call back on the 08th of Aug."
14th Aug 201:
Emails arriving saying that your new line is now working.
But it is not.
6pm - ish I am called from BT Sunderland priority help care. Lady does not know the details of the case. She tells me the line should now be working.
I explain there isn’t a dial tone.
She tells me there is an address problem. Probably.
I explain the 8 months of issues I have been having.
She tells me to not get upset. She doesn’t know anything about this case.
She tells me “It can actually take up to 12 months to get a phone connected in London”.
She tells me “that it can be very complex to get a phone connected”.
She tells me there is a long winded email attached to my case. I tell her that the ‘long winded’ email she is reading was written by me in an attempt to show all the problems in the last 8 months IN ONE PLACE – something BT seem incapable of doing.
She tells me I have to wait 10 days until the address team finish their address checking.
I explain to her that the line engineers have told me it is not an address problem.
She tells me there is nothing she can do.
28th Aug
BT priority Care called me. Told me that they are still waiting for results from the Address Team.
29th Aug
BT priority Care called me.
Told me that it is connected to the incorrect exchange now. Wandsworth… The same thing I was told last March.
I got ‘annoyed’ and tried, again, to explain the entire story to the lady on the phone.
She told me she cannot see any records of my orders back to January.
She told me that she didn’t understand what the problem is, and that the records they have shown the line was working in Aug...
I asked her to get her manager to call me.
No manager called me; instead I get a call back from the same lady later in the day. She is trying to help but we are still getting nowhere. BT Priority Care are just trying to do the same things again, that have failed multiple times in the past. They have no solution because they do not know what the problem is?
30th Aug 2012
BT priority Care called me; lady might have been called Sharon? Another lady anyway.
She tells me a new order is going to be placed to get the line connected back to Putney.
I ask to speak to her manager. She says she will call me back.
She calls me back and tells me that her manager Kelly W<removed for forum post> a BT Priority Care Manager Sunderland(maybe?) is going to call me before 6pm. This is the 3rd time I’ve asked to speak to a manager at BT Priority Care. Nobody calls me back.
All I get from BT since March are people trying the same failed thing, again and again.
Now they want to check with the address team. Again.
Now 6 months later after getting it connected to the Putney exchange, they want to put it back to the Wandsworth exchange, where it was originally – and never worked? I question this decision? I ask why this is going to fix the problem if it is the opposite advice to what every line engineer (5 of them) has ever said. I get told that nobody can answer that question.
Friday 31/08/2012
Another set of emails and text tell me I have a new line that is working.
But of course it does not. The phone line is dead. No dial tone.
Phone number is: <removed for forum post>
VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Monday 03/09/2012
All the BT priority care line numbers with the PIN numbers I was given have stopped working.
I can’t make a call to get through to the BT Priority Care Team anymore.
So I phone the normal BT help number…
An automated system tells my phone number is on exchange that is having a high level of faults for the last 2 hours and then it automatically disconnects my help call.
I phone back again and I have to NOT give my phone number for about 4 levels of automated systems to get to speak to a person. This time get through to a person. In India.
I ask for help trying to get put through to the Priority Help Care Centre in the UK. I am informed by somebody in India that all BT Priority Help Centres in the UK have been closed for good – since last Friday. I have to explain, again, the now nine months of trying to get a line connected – to the Indian help desk. I told to wait while she speaks to her supervisor.
I get put through to a different BT Priority Help Centre in the UK. Not Sunderland.
I speak to a man. He says he will email the Sunderland Help Centre and Kelly W<removed for forum post> and get somebody to phone me.
I ask him for advice on what I should do to try to get a phone line connected – after 9 months of trying. He says he will try and escalate it but he does not want to step on other peoples toes?
I ask him to CC in the CEO of BT to the email he is going to send to Kelly W<removed for forum post>. He thinks I am joking….
It is Wednesday night of the 04th of September 2012
Still no call back from Kelly or anybody from the Help care team. This is the 4th time I’ve requested a call back.
And now my PIN numbers for the priority call number have been disabled so I can’t call them.
Of course; why would you expect anything less?
LETTERS OF LATE PAYMENT:
In the last 6 months I’ve got multiple letters from BT telling me I am late in paying for my line service. I get ‘account overdue’ letters even though I prepaid the 12 months line service in advance for a line that has never worked.
SADLY:
There are phone lines in the flats below me, either side of me, and all down this entire street.
There are phone lines all over London. There are phone lines all over the UK.
But sadly not one that works in my flat. I’ve been without a phone or an internet connection since I moved in. 9 months ago.
MARS:
The Americans have flown a Mars Rover, which weighs a ton, from the Earth to Mars, landed it, and driven it around a bit – all on another planet - in the same time BT has failed to install a working phone line into a flat in central London? I wish it was this funny..
GIVEN UP:
So now I give up. My endless frustration at BT’s total lack of anything even close to coordinated fault tracking or anything like co-ordinated customer care service isn’t worth the time or stress any longer. 9 months of stress, lost wages while I’ve waited at home for engineers, and countless hours and hours of my time wasted on hold or speaking to people that can’t help.
YOU SUCK:
BT you are the total pits.
I don’t think you could suck more.
Some of my account numbers have been GB 1084 <removed for forum post>, GB 1099 <removed for forum post>, GB 1038 <removed for forum post>, GB 1105 <removed for forum post>
Dozens of other reference numbers: <removed for forum post>

Further onwards (actually downwards or backwards):
I did respond (last week) to the request to contact the forum moderators directly and was told that that they could not help because this is now being referred to Ombudsman.
Thanks for the offer of help anyway.
Two days ago I did receive another letter from BT. Dated after I was told that I would never get another letter from BT asking for payment for something that was never done. "You will never get another bill". I get another bill.
So more, painful, calls to BT in India. Have to explain the entire 9 month situation again. More wasted timed.
Asked to wait while supervisor is contacted.
Told she can't help but I should call this number: 0800 169 4109.
Which I did. But of course that number requires a number and a pin. And they don't give you a pin number. So they have effectively just cut me off.
So I have to start the entire 'call for help about this bill' processes again.
(Don't forget I've been talking to BT now since January 2012. 9 months, coming up to 10 months and I still can't get a working phone line and I still can't stop getting bills for something that has never worked).
Additioanlly on top of getting sent another late payment letter I’ve see no letter regarding the ‘Deadlock’ process between BT and I – as ‘promised’ by BT. I was told, verbally, the letter would go out last Monday. It is still not here. I want to know if the process has began. So I try to get help with that on BT Help Chat.
My goal in the chat below was to:
1. Get help with the Ombudsman process. I wanted to know why I had not received a letter from BT as I was told I was going to on the date I was expecting.
2. Get a phone number to speak to somebody about the Ombudsman process that BT had started.
3. Find out why I am still getting late payment changes for a line that has never worked - in the 9 months since the initial line order was created.
I was not given a number to call for help. Claire, the Help Chat lady, would not give me the number.
I was told I was going to be 'called back,' which I was not happy with as I know from 9 months of past experiences with BT that I will not be called back.
Sadly I was getting very frustrated by the end of the ‘Help Chat’. 9.5 months of tryign to get a phone line working in Central London has left me a little stressed...
Please note that today is the day after the chat transcript below. While Claire was trying to be helpful:
I was not called back. I received no help regarding getting details on what stage the Ombudsman process is at and what I have to do next.
9.5 months now. No phone line. No solution. Lots and lost of endless frustration.
Days and days and days of stress and my own time and hence money wasted.

Total failure of LR4

I work on OSX 10.10 with a 27 iMac purchased in December 2014.
I bought in November 2012 LR4.
I currently have 35000 pictures in multiple albums.
For several days I notice some anomalies in the recording of work on some shots.
I totally uninstalled LR4. I installed several times the software and the update (LR 4.4). Despite this work the software bug very quickly and closes without possibility of opening again.
So I have not the ability to access my work accumilé for over two years.
Thank you for coming to my rescue.

Thank you for your reply.
I have deleted the file "lightroom4 preference."
LR4 opens but remains in version 4.1. When I run the update I have a message that appears: "Incorrect checksum" (in french - I'm French)
I opened an album and I find that for photos in jpg it seems to work correctly. But for RAW formats (a majority of photos) a message appears "An error occurred while work on the picture" and can not continue.
What do you do?

IPhone 4 power switch total failure

Is it reasonable for my iPhone 4 to have a power switch total failure as a result of being kept for a few hours in a wet jeans pocket (during and just after walking through heavy rain shower). Is this product forseeable use or standard water damage insurance claim?

It is possible, if perhaps unlikely.
If your phone is still in warranty, consider setting up repair with Apple. If they reject the repair due to water damage, then you can pursue a claim with your insurance company.

Replicas fill hard discs and cause a total failure

Hello everyone,
we have a setup of 2 RG with 3 RNs each. We tried to load around 10'000'000 keys with relatively small values. Unfortunately, this caused our whole cluster to fail. The problem was that the replica nodes got their 40 GB (just for the data) partitions full and gave up. The two masters were still there with only around 5 GB of space taken in their partitions. What could be the reason for this discrepancy between a master and its replicas? The replicas contained warnings like this in their log files:
121108 17:05:06:073 WARNING [rg1-rn1] Cleaner has 33 files not deleted because they are protected by replication.
I checked that each replica had 37 JDB files in the env directory, the master just 4 JDB files. I guess that is where the whole storage went missing. Does anyone have an idea what the reason for such behaviour could be? If that would happen in production (which it will sooner or later if we do not know the reasons) it would be a disaster.
Unfortunately, I have no access to the logs any more because our admins were very fast to clean up the whole mess and setup the kv store anew.
Cheers,
Dimo

Dimo,
I suspect that the problem is something that we know about and have been actively working on. The problem comes up when a store is run with very significantly undersized caches, and the application does a large number of updates, but then ceases all write activity. In the cases we've looked at, the store's underlying log cleaning falls behind during the time of the heavy application load. It would catch
up, except that a bug in some metadata maintenance is gating the log cleanup.
Your case sounds like that, except that you see asymmetrical behavior on the part of the master node. Does the application load consist of only updates, or of mixed updates and reads? That may have some bearing on the asymmetry.
Our R2 pre-release has some improvements for this problem, and we are actively working on a complete solution. But there are really two issues at hand. What you've seen is poor handling of the case when log cleaning falls behind, and we will be fixing that because it can cause the sort of catastrophic out of disk failure you see. But more fundamentally, it may also be that the store is not optimally configured for your load. Fixing the log cleaning issue might still leave you with performance that's not optimal.
We've got some documentation in the Admin Guide on how to come up with starting point configurations to best support the application load and the hardware. If you post more information on your application key and data size, and hardware, we can comment on what might work. For example, it sounds like your application might have large keys and small data. We find that smaller keys are generally more efficient in the NoSQL caches.
We'd be interested in getting more details about your application so that we can use that as a test case for the fix for the log cleaning issue. In our current test cases, the nodes of the cluster all have symmetrical behavior, unlike what you experienced. If that's possible, please contact me at linda dot q dot lee at oracle dot com.
Regards,
Linda

Photoshop Elements 13.1 upgrade... total failure

I installed the 13.1 upgrade, but I now have complete failure of the Editor to open. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Does anyone know what I should do next?

anne1calgary a écrit:
Are many people having trouble with the 13.1 upgrade? Anyone have any thoughts about the issues I'm having? Should I de-install Elements 13 and reinstall?
There are several reports you can see in this forum. Are there many people? Probably not many (which is still too much...) because I assume most users will upgrade because the 13.1 solves several severe problems.
Elements Organizer crashes at launch
The problems encountered here are very similar to other ones when updating to an intermediate version like 12.1.
Generally the update runs well if done immediately, but if something has been changed in the installation or the user preferences, the update may fail, and in that case, reinstalling won't help. You'd have to do a clean de-install of the software and deletion of your preferences to reinstall successfully.

Im hoping to find a solution for my problem i have been getting. I build a custom gaming rig a few months ago (specs below)
Sinds a couple of days iv been getting wierd problems, System runs fine, i can do everything watch movies do work stuff. But when i start gaming it will work great for about 15-30 minutes, then i hear a click/beep thru the sound system, and a total pc freeze, screen freezes nothing works.
So i hit the reboot, then the system decides to turn itself off and get into a reboot loop, turning on for few seconds then turning off again for a few back on for a few, etc etc.
Only way i can get it running is pull the power, make sure the Motherboard has no charge left, then wait a bit and replug the power. Most times it will boot up fine and story starts at part 1 again.
First off i thought it would be temperature, tho im running a almoost ull watercooled system, (Ramm + cpu + video) and i put up temp controlls on my seconds screen, and they never got above 35, on any of the components.
Now seeing my build it is extreemley hard to quickly test a diffirent component, been running memtest with no problems, But when i do graphx/cpu stresstest/benchmark i get the same issue.
As i stated before it has been running perfectly for few months.
I read that PSU might be a problem, compatability wise with Haswell, tho then it wouldnt have worked for so long and just now giving these strange problems.
What i tryéd so far:
-Reinstall windows
-Flash bios
-clear bios
-unplug as much as possible
-diffirent ramm
-Running with or without crossfire enabled.
All same problems, i hope somebody has a idea without having to pull apart my custom build.
Specs:
-Cooler Master HAF XB
-Intel Haswell 4770k
-MSI Z87-GD65
-2x Asus 7970 in Crossfire.
-Corsair Dominator GT 2x4gb
-Corsair ForceGT 128GB SSD
-Antec TruePower 1200
-2x 512gb Seagate MomentusXT

Hi again,

UPDATE: Been running bencharmks/stresstest from onboard graphix, both cards disconnected. (lots of towels to be sure) and runs without problems, tho reallo low fps but thats expected.
Going to see if i can run 1 card at a time, see if i can cause the problem to happen again.
So did you agtually try it?
Yep, bleeding is nice job and dooing it right on all steps is needed so yeah great, but if your CPU can handel the stress and you have tested the PSU then i cant see other way.
Tip: take the hard loop,pipe, bridge(betwean the blocks away and add two 90angle fittings with long tobe, so you can rest each card away the pc 1 at time that way you dont need to bleed the system bitwean.
(allso rest of the toops needs to be so long that it can be far away...)
And yes you need reg edit your SATA drivers like xmad sayd, if you like to change IDE to RAID.
P.s. nice build! Hope you get it working
Edit: You dont need to insert that PSU in the case, just connect wires whrere they need to be, at the momen for testing.
Edit2: My current needs little service and update( add backplate, water change, delid cpu and moving GPU to bottom slot).
Edit3: Wait that one 120mm low Rad keeps your sytem 32c??? Damn you have great chips, cold house or software issue. need for delid main is the heat i dont like and i have hmm 10 times that space to get heat off :D

Surface Pro 3 + Photoshop CS6 + Latest N-trig Driver = TOTAL FAILURE!!!...or is it just me???

I recently purchased a Surface Pro 3 (i7/256GB) for the main purpose of getting back into drawing. I wanted to run Photoshop CS6 (I'm not buying into Adobe's CC subscription crap) with N-trig's latest 64bit driver that is supposed to add pen pressure support. But, now I can't draw a single straight line because the new N-trig driver is causing the pen to jump at the beginning and end of each stroke. The result is that every stroke I make ends up with an "L" shaped hook at both ends. The issue does not occur in my trial version of Photoshop CC or any other drawing application... it only affects Photoshop CS6. And, the problem occurs whether or not I've enabled the pressure sensitivity option. Furthermore, the problem goes away if I uninstall the N-trig driver... but, then I lose the pen pressure feature. Am I the only one having this issue? This is super frustrating because my main reason for getting the Surface Pro 3 was to use Photoshop CS6. And let me tell you... it's not easy for an Apple "Fanboy" like myself to admit the allure of the Surface Pro 3;)

I agree. I Fault Adobe and MS. Adobe wants you to pay a monthly fee for CC, so don't count on them updating their "not so old software" anytime soon. MS ... are just idiots. Always on the verge of greatness and they do something to mess it up. They are clueless that the vast majority of Surface Pro 3 users are artists.
However, until it is fixed I do have a work around for everyone. I've only purchased Sketchbook Pro 2015 (v7) and Corel Painter 2015 (both of which work fine with the Surface Pro 3 (SF3). For CS6 or older programs that strictly use the wintab (aka Wacom like devices) do the following....
Directions:
1. You must download the newest N-Trig driver (ntrig.com). There is a Wintab Driver 1.0.0.16 but there is also a 1.0.0.17 that works as well.
2. Install the driver. Photoshop and most other Wintab (or Wacom like use programs such as - Photoshop CS6/CS5, Corel Painter 12, SB Pro 5 or 6 ... and so forth) will now work on the SP3.
3. However .... other programs such as Onenote, Sketchbook Pro 2015 and their like will not work!!! Note: Corel Painter 2015 are the only "smart" Program Creators to have an option in the programs "preferences" to use n-trig or wacom (aka wintab) drivers. This wonderful program can switch back and forth. Such a simple solution ... hint, hint!!!
4. To get sketchbook Pro 2015 and other programs to work again ... uninstall the N-Trig Wintab driver in the Control Panel/Programs.
5. Yes, you must install and un-install the Wintab driver ... Annoying but it works for all your Art Programs and other Pen Pressure programs/apps.
Call MS and ask them to at least create an "on and off switch" for the wintab driver till this gets fixed, (this on off switch should be in the new Surface Pro 3 "Hub" Pen utility program)!!! However, as you can tell from Corel ... software makers can fix this issue as well, hint, hint again Adobe!!!
Until it is fixed: All we can do is call MS and ADOBE (and their greedy like,) tell them to fix their software and don't let up till they do. Secondly, I personally will not buy anything (software or hardware) until this is fixed. Thirdly, I will never "rent" my software Adobe.
JNK.
Not to be an annoying jerk, but a couple of points:
Autodesk are moving towards a subscription model. Yes, you can get SketchBook Pro 7 as a so-called "permanent" license but all you're getting is minor updates. (And upgrade pricing is going bye-bye in February, if I recall.) Something to keep in mind as you may have no choice in the future *but* to subscribe. You really don't own the software even in a permanent/purchased setup anyway. They just give a license to use it regardless of the situation.
While we're on the subject, Autodesk released their newer version of SketchBook Pro for mobile without letting users of the previous paid version of SketchBook Pro know what was going on. They just dropped it onto the Google Play and the App Store. Not very polite (or professional), in my opinion, and they ended up with a lot of angry users as a result.
Corel...maybe it's just me and how I used to use PaintShop Pro, but I could never wrap my head around that app's interface. It's mostly clunky; it's like they're trying to be Photoshop but can't be Photoshop for obvious reasons. I switched to Photoshop Elements 9 from PaintShop Pro X2. I actually considered PSP again before deciding on Photoshop CC. The kicker was trying to use layer masks in PSP. Just...bleh. Guess I was too used to how Photoshop Elements did it (which is very much like how full-on Photoshop does it, minus the fancy style and adjustment layers...which was also one of the reasons why I upgraded).
Calling a company like Adobe "greedy" is a bit unfair (not to mention the wrong way to communicate with a company). For $10 USD/month for the latest versions and any and all new features/updates for Photoshop and Lightroom via the Creative Cloud Photography Plan? I'm pretty sure we're the ones getting away with murder there. Adobe made a ton of cash from the CC Photography Plan, hence why they made it permanent. People found it to be the "sweet spot" for subscribing. They couldn't be more right. By the time a couple years pass by, we're still not approaching what people would pay outright just to use a copy of CS6 *minus* Lightroom. People pay more than that a month just to play a stupid MMORPG. Hell, people pay more for in-app purchases on mobile games.
Just my observations.

PhotoShop Elements 9 Crop Tool is a total failure!

I do a fair amount of work that involves a lot of croping, mainly for animation sequencing. The Crop tool Custom Height and Width settings do NOT WORK.
I usually have a test image of the exact size that I work in. Example: 500 x100 pixels. This converts to 13.23cm x 2.65 cm at 96dpi. When I type these Crop Size requirements into the Crop tool settings box, I get a crop size way outside the size of the image that I want to crop. There is no way to set that size up yourself by using a test image as a template. In fact there is no way to set up custom sizes in the menu at all! I find this to be very upsetting as I have only just purchased this product. This limitation is something that I would expext to find in freeware, but not in a program like PhotoShop Elements 9. I have tried every conceivable way to try to get the Crop Tool to work to a Pre Set size with no success.
Why is it that a graphics program will not allow you to put in a pixel x pixel measurement? That is pure stupidity on the part of the programmers and very poor work on the part of the testing team. No wonder the program itself crashes from time to time. It just stops running - ppffft! I have a state of the art 64 bit system running Win 7 with plenty of RAM and a High end Graphics Card, so I know that my system is not at fault - it's PhotoShop 9. I cannot believe the primative workspace and the lack of the ability to custom predefine tools. All in all I'm extremely unhappy with PE9.
If anyone has had this or similar issues and has found a solution please tell me what it is.

In answer to your remark I will go through the whole process again at a later date and re-post. It does not make any difference to the resultant Crop size whether you input cm or pixels. Here's a point for you though since you mentioned it. Check out the Ruler - does it look like the Crop is anywhere near 500cm x 100cm? Maybe you were so busy trying to find fault that you failed to see the forest for the trees?
I only find fault where it exists - not where it doesn't. As far as Forums go, I am a member of a few Forums and have not had this sort of problem with answers before where the reply posts tend toward trying to pretend a problem doesn't exist or trying to prove fault with the poster. Hmmm. Again I wonder how many of these reply's are from people with some affiliation with Adobe?
I will finish by saying that just for you I will go through the whole pointless exercise again and make sure that the Pixels are indeed input.
1. Opening File
2. File Open.
3. Resetting Crop Tool.
4. Crop Tool reset and Measurement Boxes clear.
5.First Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 500 Pixels Input!
6. Second Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 100 Pixels Input!
7. Third Criteria Input. PLEASE NOTE 96dpi Input!
8. All Input Data correct and ready to Crop to preset Width/Height/Dpi restrictions.
9. OH DEAR IT DOESN'T WORK! Again it fails to give me a simple 500x100 pixel at 96dpi Crop Box!
After this reply post you may just get some idea of the frustration I am experiencing. As you can plainly see the Crop Box drawn goes to the very edges of the Image to be Cropped. Can you see the problem now? Maybe I should just go with my friend's suggestions and take a video of the process and post it on YouTube? Then go to my local Consumer Affairs Department! If you can find what I am supposedly doing wrong - please elucidate as I have followed both the prescribed steps in the somewhat Shoddy Online Help and also the suggested remedies posted on the Forum. All to no avail. It just Won't Work!

Any solutions to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 R2880 total failure on iMac

Everything was fine on Snow Leopard 10.6, but now - on 10.6.1 - I can print nothing to the Epson R2880 from my main desktop machine. When I went to print, the Epson Printer software had been removed and I had a message that new printer drivers should be downloaded from the manufacturer.
Having done this, I had various error messages culminating in the one shown below.
Hours of searching the forums, and telephone help from first Epson then Apple, have not solved the issue. in spite of removing the printer, uninstalling Epson software, drivers and library folders, reinstalling current drivers, making sure Rosetta is loaded et cetera.
Strangely, the printer works OK from my laptop, which is running 10.6.1 and identical Epson drivers.
The problem is caused it seems by rastertoescp in /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ra stertoescp
Epson blames Apple, and Apple tech support has tried all it knows or can think of. The case has been escalated,and I should hear back 'within the week'. In the meantime, can anyone help?
The error log file, which has gone to Apple, starts as follows:

I hope that this isn't too repetitive.
Please try the following:
1.Uninstall Gutenprint.
You can download the uninstaller at the following URL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/Uninstaller%20-%20Mac%20OS%20X% 20ONLY/1.2.6/gutenprint-uninstaller-1.2.6.dmg/download
Click on the file it downloads and uninstall Gutenprint.
2. Power off the printer
3. Remove the printer driver from Print and Fax
4. Delete the Epson Folder from the following location
Mac's Hard Drive\Library\Printers\Epson
5. Delete the following files.
Mac's Hard Drive\User\Library\Preferences\ com.apple.printer ....plist (remove all of the print.plist you find.
6. Restart your Mac
7. Delete the Epson folder in HD/Library/Caches
8. Delete the Epson…R2880.gz from the HD/Library/Printers/PPDs
Hope this helps, Syd

[SOLVED] FF 4.0 beta 11 total failure : blank page, no bookmark, address bar not responding, etc.

I had no problem with 4.0 betas, up to 10.
Update to 4.0/11 this morning, and suddenly nothing is working
- blank page
- all bookmarks lost (from Bookmarks menu)
- impossible to connect to any url: actually, nothing happens after entering an address, address bar non responsive.
- two (Windows) title bars, each one coming with its working system menu.
I see two title bar (the blue bar with min/max/close buttons at the right)
The top one is a regular one, with "Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 11" displayed at the left
The second one hold a new Firefox yellow button at the left, with a down arrow opening a all-in-one menu.
Under this second title bar, a menu bar holds the regular menu items (File/Edit/View/History/Bookmarks/Tools/Help)
This Bookmarks menu is void of bookmarks. But they are not lost, they are in the Firefox/Bookmarks menu.
The address bar is not responsive.
Nothing works, basically.
Until one page finally loads !
The Firefox Help page, for example, always seems to load. Bookmarked pages can also be loaded from the Firefox/Bookmarks menu (but only with right click/open in new tab; direct click doesn's work)...
Anyhow, after a first successful load, things get better : address bar becomes responsive again, bookmarks now fill the regular Bookmarks menu, etc.
The thing that still doesn't work : clicking the back button on the address bar, or typing alt-left, or right-click/back, or History/Back (grayed)... no way whatsoever to play history(-1).

Fixed with Firebug 1.7x.0a11 !

Total failure with I photo:

how reinstall Iphoto after a sudden problem with it: impossible to create a new book, impossible to display a page of the book, a photo , to edit a photo...?

First try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does'nt persist in the new library then your current library is the culprit. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
