Unable to change IPv4 adapter settings -- COM surrogate fails

Hi folks,
I have an HP notebook I use for network troubleshooting etc. It is about 1 year old and was delivered with 8.0 and subsequently upgraded to 8.1 a few months ago. It does not have the recent 8.1 Update update installed.
When I try to set a static IP address on the Ethernet adapter I get a pop-up after closing the adapter properties dialog saying that the COM surrogate as stopped work. I can close this popup but I can't close the Network Connections page. I get an event
1000 error in Application event log that says netcfgx.dll is faulting.
I know that at one time I could change the adapter settings with no trouble, but I've installed a number of monthly updates since the last time I tried.
Any ideas?

Unable to change wireless security settings on WRT54GS v5.1

I'm using a WRT54GS v.5.1 with the latest firmware (v1.50.9).
Set this up this weekend - all was fine until last night when the router stopped broadcasting the signal. I've reset the modem countless times and powered it down and back on again.
The router is now working fine - but I'm unable to change any of the wireless security settings. When I try to change the setting under Wireless > Wireless Security to WEP, it just jumps back to Disable and no changes can me made. Same situation when trying to enable a Wireless MAC Filter?
Any ideas? I don't want to use the router without any security in place!

you can try to upgrade the firmware of your.
try this link :
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=557&p_created=108421...
make sure to select the correct model and version of your router. if you cant see the model # of your router as one of the downloads, you will need to have the router replace (hope you'll not).
hope this help.

Unable to change site navigation settings

Hi,
I am unable to change navitation settings for a site with the site telling me I do not have permissions.
1) I am a site collection administrator and also an owner of the actual site
2) I was able to do it before, for some reason it stoped working and is giving me the permission error now
3) I can use the error page to send request for permission, however, it comes back to me to approve
4) One colleague, although only owner of one subsite, is having the same issue for this subsite. It used to work for him also.
I found this article here and asked our admin to check the permission. He confirmed that running custom scripts option is and always was disabled.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/283383.aspx?ss=ed09ef80-acbb-48fc-b6e8-0da9bc4e27da
The reason why it stopped working is something else though.
Allowing to run custom scripts can probably solve the issue but I would like to fix it without that. If the reason is elsewhere, so must the solution be.. or, I hope.
Would anyone please suggest where to look?
Many thanks
Jana

In the Options box, no matter what I set my Home Page to (Current Pages, Blank Page, Default) I am unable to change my homepage settings; they absolutely will not change and I can't figure it out.

Up to about a month ago, I never had any problems setting my Home Page to Using Current Pages. Then, all of a sudden, I am unable to make any changes to my Home Page no matter what I change the settings to. I work for the US Forest Service and I don't know if some program was loaded that prohibits any changes from being made. Any help would be most appreciated.

Unable to change gmail notification settings

I just had to do a factory reset on my Incredible to get rid of a few issues. Everything is good now and I've got everything back to where it was except for notifications in gmail. Although I have Email Notifications checked in the Account Settings, I am not getting the option to turn on/off audible alerts or to only receive notifications once when a new email arrives. By everything I've read those options should appear, but they're not. I did have them selected before the reset. Help!

Those setting are actually there. Under the check box labled 'email notifictions" there should be a 'labels to notify'.
Click on that and you will see to options. first one is Inbox and the other is Priority Inbox. Click on inbox and you can change your notification sounds as well as notify once vs notify for all.
Hope this helps.

You may want to have a look at this thread .
Although similar problems are reported from time to time, there doesn't seem to be a straightforward solution.
If all else fails, then m1t's workaround could be worth pursuing.

Unable to change Time Machine settings

Time Machine has been behaving strangely for me. For starters, when I attempt to access it through system preferences, it fails to load. The top bar simply becomes "Loading Time Machine..." and remains that way. It does not hang, but simply does not seem to proress.
However, I can load up Time Machine if I run it from the .app in applications. When I do so however, the settings are locked. When I attempt to click on the lock in the bottom right hand corner to unlock the settings however, nothing happens. No Authentication pop up, no request for password or anything.
I have never used time machine before this, and discovered this only when attempting to set up time machine for the first time.
If you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem, your help would be very much appreciated.

You do not ever need to install 3rd party software to use a hard drive in OS X. I strongly suggest you remove anything you installed from Western Digital. There have been issues in the past with OS X upgrades where the WD software caused OS X to completely erase a hard drive, and it's likely that anything from WD you installed is old and not compatible with Yosemite.

It doesn't recognise my password for wifi. Unable to connect. Tried ressitng the network,changed the wap settings,nothing. Pswd is 9 characters. MacBook

iPad 2 doesn't recognise my password for wifi. Unable to connect. Tried resetting the network,changed the wap settings,nothing. Pswd is 9 characters. MacBook and iPhone accepts the password, not my ipad 2

Hey brainmasala,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you are not able to connect to a Wi-Fi network with your iPad. This article has a section for Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network and the second article is the recommended network settings. If after these it still has the same issue you may want to restore the device to factory settings.

Every time I sign in, it signs me out immediately. I've tried deleting the opm file and it's unable to do so because "Adobe CC is currently running this file." I've also changed my LAN settings and downloaded something else that was supposed to help me out but nothing seems to fix the problem.

I think you'll find that the official Adobe advice here is misguided. First, deleting bits of the program and program data is, as you've noted, perilous and often impossible. Shame on Adobe for doing such a poor job of coding that such steps are needed.
The solution I recommend is as follows:
Restart your Windows machine and boot in "Safe Mode" with networking using the F8 key just as Windows starts.
Go to the Control Panel and select Programs. Find and Uninstall "Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop".
Reinstall it by downloading it from the website https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Restart your machine.
Only in "Safe Mode" are you likely to be able to accomplish these tasks reliably.

FTP error-Unable to create new pooled resource: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ft

Hi,
We have a scenario where XI receives a Idoc and based on the contents of Idoc, It will generate 5 different files and send it to the external FTP server.We configured 5 receiver channels for these 5 files.
When this interface runs, most of the files will be delivered but some of the messages will be errored out.
The receiver channel has shown the following error-
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx
I tried to resend them by temperorily stopping other channels to reduce connections to this FTP server.But these messages again resulted with same error.
Can someone suggest what might be the cause for this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
As I am not sure about the problem so U just try all of the option I am writing below. It may help u as these are the probable solutions for this problem.
1.perform Full CPA cache refresh using PIDIRUSER
2.The problem seems to be in establishing the connection with the File server . This could be due to
a. Wrong user name or password in receiver adapter .
b. Firewall connection are not open
actually you are saying that some files are being delivered so all the file has to be deliverd on same server on diffrent directory or all files are going on diffrent server at present I am assuming that all files are going on diffrent server so please check UID & PWD properly.if they are on same server but diff. directory it can be easily done using one Communication channel only.
3. Finally please check the errorneous communication channel .
to check your communication channels are working fine or not you can check in channel monitoring in PI7.0, adapter monitoring in Xi3.0.
if you are on PI7.0, goto RWBCache monitoring select AE and cilck disply-select the date todays--check everything is greent here
4.Please check your maximal connection pool .

Saurabh

When I go into settings iCloud my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?

I recently updated to to iOS 6.1. When I did it asked me to put in my password but my old apple ID came up. I skipped it and the message stated that my facetime and iCloud might not work correctly. I skipped anyway. I have since verified my apple ID online and my facetime seems to be working correctly, However, when I go into settings>iCloud>my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community..
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when i hit play the computer locks up and i have to crash it

I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when I hit play the computer locks yp and I jave to crash it to reboot

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 it does not then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case try the following on your original library:
If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+D) 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.

WRT54G v8: Unable to change some settings via the browser interface

I have a WRT54G V8 router which I'm trying to set up as a wireless access point.
I purchased it some time ago and flashed the firmware to version 8.00.2. I see there
is a newer firmware version available, and I'm going to try flashing that to see if it
helps, but wanted to ask here first.
The problem is that when I connect to the router using a web browser, I can see
the administration pages, and even change most settings, but some settings
just snap back to their previous values.
For example, I go to Setup -> Advanced Routing, and change Operating Mode
from Gateway to Router. When I do, I see it changes to Router, then I see it
talking to the HTTP server, and then it changes back to Gateway.
This also happens in other areas, like trying to enable MAC address filtering -
it won't let me enable it, and the Security Mode setting (under Wireless -> Wireless
Security) - It won't let me select WPA2 Personal, among others.
Note that I've had this router for a while, but decided to change how it was configured
today, so I started by pressing and holding the reset button for >5sec to reset it to
factory defaults and went from there.
I'm assuming there must be some settings which are preventing these from taking,
but I can't imagine any setting which should prevent me from enabling the MAC
address filtering.
Just in case this matters, I have the router connected to my in-home network using
one of the 4 Ethernet ports, and don't have anything plugged into the Internet port.
Also, I have turned off the DHCP server, and assigned a static IP address to the
router. This is the IP I'm using to connect to the router's administrative pages via
a browser running on one of the other PCs on my in-home network.
The wireless access point is working, in that I can connect to my in-home network
with my wireless client (laptop).
Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

Thanks, Yes, I did reset the router. Just to clarify:
- I was having the problem where making changes to some settings would cause the settings to revert back to the original settings. In fact, the settings would switch back before I would have a chance to click on the Save Settings button. Clicking on the button after the settings changed back, of course, saved the original setting. For example, I would click on a drop-down control to change a setting, see the browser communicate with the HTTP server, then the drop-down would just snap back to the original value. It wouldn't allow me to change it to a different value.
- I reset the router, including holding the reset button for >5 seconds to force a full-reset. This didn't help.
- I attempted to update the firmware with the latest version for my router (yes, I double-checked that I had the correct version for my router/version). This failed with a strange message and required that I do another reset of the router.
It was after this failed attempt at the update that the problem went away. Now, I am able to change these particular settings and the changes stick.
At this point, I updated the firmware to the latest version and it worked. After this, I am still able to make all the necessary setting changes and the router is performing as I need.
Thanks for all the help,
