Unusual freezing slider issue

The following issue is happening to my wife on her 2G upon updating to OS 3.0.
The slider bar will appear for a few seconds in it's locked state, the rotating timer wheel will appear briefly in the center of the screen, then the screen will go dark for a few seconds. It will continue to cycle like this for about 5 minutes or so.
Then the Apple will appear as if it's restarting, then promptly powers back up into the same locked state.
Repeat.
I cannot turn the phone off, and iTunes doesn't seem to want to give me the option to restore from backup.
This happened at the last possible instant of updating to 3.0 (This is my wife's phone, I had no problem updating my 2G.
Any ideas?

I tried holding the power button down. Nada
I got it to shut down by holding down the power & home buttons for about 20 seconds. But it only starts back up in the same condition.
I did not try a restore because it doesn't appear to be giving me an option to restore from back up. When I click the Restore button, iTunes warns me that I'm returning the phone to factory settings and that all data will be lost.
If I lose her text messages, she won't be happy, so I'm keeping that option in the "last resort" column.

  • Slider issue firefox, opera, & IE not chrome

    Okay all,
    this is an update to my last post about this slider issue. I'm hoping someone out there can take mercy on me and help because I'm stumped. The issue with the slider is that it's not rendering properly in firefox, opera, or IE ... Chrome renders it just fine.
    http://www.don-robertos.com/
    The issue seems to me to be with <div class="mask"> and <div class="slide"> --> the slides and the mask are both rendering at 19px instead of max-width:970px. The images are computing at the full width ... but I can't seem to figure out why the mask and slides are rendering at this size. Here is a code snippet.
    ... <div class="cycle-gallery gallery-js-ready">
    <div class="cycle-gallery-holder">
    <div class="gallery-holder">
    <div class="mask">
    <div class="slideset" style="position: relative; height: 562px; margin-left: -19px">
    <div class="slide" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 19px; left: 38px">
    <div class="slide" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 19px; left: -9999px">
    <div class="slide" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 19px; left: 0px">
    <div class="slide active" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 19px; left: 19px">
    </div> ...
    My sanity will thank you!

    When I tested this in Firefox I saw there was a problem but only in the desktop view-- if I shrunk my browser window to a tablet or phone view it was working fine.  For some reason your slider script is thinking the width of your slider should be 15px... it probably derives the width of your slides from the styles set for your content so you should try to set a "width" on your gallery image for the desktop view.  If you set it at line 84 of your all.css file it shouldn't interfere with the media query that serves the width up for smaller screens which is on line 807.  Try setting a width on ".cycle-gallery img" on line 84 to 970px.

  • Slider issue nokia n95 8gig

    Hi
    had my n95 8gig just 4 day's ( purchased 1/09/08 ) and already the slider is loose.
    i know this matter has been brought up in past posts but just wondering if other new owners/users are experiencing the same.
    under warranty can this be repaired? or is it normal?
    Apart from the slider issue, the n95 8gig is great !
    i realise its not a perfect world but for $800 i expect the slider to be sturdier than it is.
    look forward to other users comments.
    Message Edited by warmride on 05-Sep-2008 09:20 AM

    It can be fixed mate but i'd ask at a Service center as trying to fix them yourself could end up with you mucking the slide mechanism up which you don't want.

  • Quiz slide issues in Captivate 4

    I am having functionality issues with quiz slides in Captivate 4. When taking the quiz, slides will randomly get stuck/grey out and the user has to click the back button and then go forward and the slide will then function correctly. This is not acceptable to the client, for obvious reasons. I have tried re-building the quiz slides (several times) and have also copied the entire project into a clean Captivate file. Nothing seems to make a difference and it is still completely random. I will preview the quiz over and over and sometimes it will work perfectly and then the next time it'll get stuck. This has only started occuring since I upgraded to Cp4. I have had to resort to not using Quiz slides at all and re-creating them with click boxes, but then I miss out on some of the needed functionality that the quiz slides provide (with feedback). I am pulling my hair out! Anyone else having trouble with this?

    Hello all
    I have been having the same issue and have spent a bunch of time with Adobe so this is what they sent me and so far my quizzes have been working and I have had no reports of any quiz's freezing up fingers crossed.
    This is the latest corospondence from Adobe I have recived.. hope it helps..

    1.)Separate all of the different quiz type questions into separate pools
    and pull random questions from each pool.
    2.)Stop using the multiple choice slides with single correct answer only
    as it defeats the usability of the quiz module in Captivate
    3.)Verify that video card drivers are compatible with Windows XP.
    If you still think that it is the problem with Adobe Captivate then
    please perform the below mentioned steps;-
    1.) Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files.
    Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files to eliminate problems
    that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    To recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files:
    1. Quit Adobe Captivate.
    2. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and
    Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Adobe and move the "Adobe
    Captivate" folder to another location (for example, the Desktop).
    3. Start Adobe Captivate. Adobe Captivate creates new preferences

  • Freezing Slides following inclusion of flv's - Captivate 5.5

    We are having some trouble with freezing in a training module which includes flv's. 
    We had a similar problem a few years ago using Captivate 3 and solved it simply by cutting the file (module) into bits that were smaller than 10M.
    This time the files are already smaller than 10M and we got freezing.  We cut the file into two even smaller pieces and seamed to fix the problem on some machines but we are still experiencing the problem on some other machines.
    We have tried blank slides inbetween slides. Republishing all sorts of ways.
    Any Ideas???

    The first question I would ask is what you mean by "freezing"? 
    Does it lock up the browser completely and nothing will happen even if you left it for half an hour or more so that you have to End Task on that thread to get the browser to work again?
    or
    Does it "freeze" for a lengthy period but if left long enough will start to play?
    What I'm trying to determine here is whether or not this issue is crashing the browser or whether you are just experiencing a lengthy lag period that looks like the browser has crashed.
    When using video in a Captivate project, a lot of the user experience is determined by the actual bandwidth availalbe at their desktop. I usually test this using sites such as http://www.speedtest.net/  I've often found that what looked like an issue with the course content sometimes turned out to be woeful bandwidth at the end user's PC.  People forget that their bandwidth is shared among many other people and systems.
    So before you blame Captivate or your course video, find out what the bandwidth will be for a worst-case user, and then do some sums on how long it would take at that bandwidth to buffer up enough video to start playing.

  • Freezing, display issues, and now... wont start up in OSX

    Increasingly becoming an object i'd like to throw out the window, my mac book pro has now added a new trick to it's bag. originally, it was just doing silly things to the screen: when i scroll on web pages the page would move and some of the text would stay put, an issue resolved by clicking off said page, then back on to the page. then it took to freezing on me. then it took to freezing multiple times, sometimes before i could even log in on my user acct. once, it froze 5 times in a row. as if this werent annoying enough...
    the other day i decided to play a game on the windows side of my partitioned hard drive. the windows side runs amazingly: no freezing, no fragmentation, no issues at all! when i was done i shut down and restarted, expecting OSX to boot. i got the grey page, the cog/wheel thing, then... about 5 minutes later it just shut off. on it's own. i tried several times, no joy. i'm plugged in to a reliable power source, and yes, the plug IS plugged in. so none of that. idk what the problem is. but it's not working, and i need to write a paper. i'm currently on my windows side, and without any kind of word processing program i will find a hard time doing my homework...
    oh, also
    one time i started up in OSX, and instead of the cog, it was a globe. anyone seen that before? it only happened once.

    Do you have your install discs? If so, try booting up from your install disc and navigate to Disk Utility on the install disc. You should be able to see your OS X partition. Click on it and go to the First Aid tab. Repair both permissions and the disc until there is nothing left to repair. If you get errors you can't repair with Disk Utility, post back. Also check on the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom.
    It may be that your OS X partition has become corrupted. If you still can't boot up after repairing permissions and the disk, try a Safe Boot:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    The first article will tell you how to start up in Safe Mode. Note that it can take a long time to boot up this way. The second article will explain about Safe Boot and Safe Mode.

    Good luck!

  • Macbook Pro (17-inch, mid-2010, i5, stock config) freezing -- Nvidia issue?

    Hi there--
    I have a fully stock-configured (no mods, no hard drive tweaks, etc.) Macbook Pro (17-inch, mid 2010, i5 model). It's only 3 months old. Running 10.6.4, everything updated and NO peripherals connected...
    Anyhow, I was working at Starbucks yesterday morning and the system froze for no reason. Was doing semi-heavy workload with Photoshop CS5 and iTunes going and Safari downloading. Mouse would freeze in-place, iTunes starts stuttering in a loop. I waited, but system remained "frozen" -- only thing I can do at this point is shutdown via the power button.
    I powered back up and system froze at the spinning progress indicator that you see on boot-up . I shutdown, powered back up... was able to work for about 10 minutes and same system freeze. I powered down for two hours, powered up, and same thing happened again.
    *I've documented these freeze ups via video.* See my Youtube playlist, and the videos titled "crash" here (videos are encoded at 720p -- so click option for more clarity):
    http://www.youtube.com/viewplaylist?p=38CDEF9C98B96BCE
    I've also screen capped the crash logs which make me think there is something wrong with the video components of this machine. A whole lotta "Nvidia" related language.
    *See screencaps here:*
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/hildie/sets/72157624689980753/
    Does anyone have experience analyzing crash logs, and can tell me what this might be about?
    Took it to Genius Bar (Apple Store @ Beverly Center, Los Angeles) early yesterday evening. They were nice, but didn't offer any clear theories other than they think there is something wrong when the system switches from the Intel on-board graphics to the Nvidia graphics. They took the system from me and said they would "check it out for a couple days" and get back to me.
    I'm frustrated because I run an extremely clean system (system has fresh OS install only a month ago), and not used to mysterious hardware issues hampering my workflow. Especially when I'm 90% done with updating my design portfolio and desperately need to get back to work!
    PS - I tried the latest EFI update, and the issue was still happening after the update.
    Thanks.
    [email protected]

    Your frustration is very understandable. It sounds like a hardware issue of some sort. The AHT does not test everything, so it will not necessarily find every possible hardware issue. Apple has a more sophisticated hardware test they can run, and often hardware issues may not show up until the machine is heated up. What they probably want to do is to try to reproduce the freeze and then run the test to see what is wrong.
    You can run the cleanest system possible, and still be beset by a hardware problem, which can only be solved by replacing the faulty parts. Here's hoping that the Apple guys can discover what is wrong and fix it for you.
    Hardware problems can be intermittent and hard to find. If they can't make it freeze and therefore don't find anything, then the next step would be to use it at the Apple Store until it freezes up and then give it to them to evaluate.
    Good luck!

  • Freezing and issues on STB Model QIP7216

    So I've had Verizon FIOS now almost a year. I'm on a QIP7216 STB running version 1.7.
    I've been experiencing problems in the following areas;
    • Recorded programs freeze upon play back. STB also seems to freeze momentarily hang until last command can process/complete itself.
    • These same programs (sometimes not all the time) can experience pixelazation
    • Multi-Room DVR playback on recorded programs also do the same. The recorded event seems to have been recorded with the freezing in the recorded session. Therefore any playback of that recorded item experiences the freezing.
    • Regular program playback intermittently experiences freezing (just watching TV sometimes I experience freezing)
    • Recorded programs (sometimes) are recorded in chunks where up to 4 events appear as the same recorded event. The program is chopped up and divided over several listings with random lengths. (this appears to be some sort of reset on the STB and it goes back into record mode once it resets)
    Background Story: All this occurred after I requested and placed an order for Verizon to move my STB HD DVR from one side of my house to another. At the time of the placed order request was made I was asked by service person on the phone if I wanted to experienced HBO/Cinimax for 3 months free. I said yes (That was where things went bad)
    Possible Solution and Resolution: Here is what I think happened based off what I've found in the Fourm and what I've troubleshoot myself. I found out when I had my STB's installed I had too high of a Coax Signal (Called SNR for you Verizon Techies) coming into the STB's (Common install issue!!!) Contractors who do the installs do not check for this. Typically FIOS Signal coming into house terminated with a very high signal strength, this signal is call SNR signal, If your SNR is too high you have to place attenuators on the end of your COAX before plugging into your STB. The signal strength must be approx -6db my STB's ranged from +18 to +8. I have 3 STB's in my house. After placing the Attenuators on the signal registered just under -1 almost -2. Second Possible Solution that seems to have resolved my problems: I noticed that once my HBO/Cinimax order went through I started to notice the Freezing began. I found in the Forum that this is caused by a problem where the STB holds on to old codes after the programming is upgraded. To fix this you need to call support Request the TECH perform a Soft INIT (Not a Hard INIT this will cause you to lose all your DVR Programs However, if they are crappy and messed up from Freezing you'll most likely have to erase them anyways) (Don't do the reset over the web, this Soft INIT is a different Init) The soft INIT will cause the codes to come back down to your STB and program your STB for the proper programming.

    Hello Internetkid ,
    For your possible solutions and resolution you are on the right track.  The issue I see with what you have done is putting the attenuators on the end of the coax.  With Fios, a lot of the features run on moca (multimedia over coax alliance).  The attenuators  at the end of the coax prevent the moca from flowing properly. To prevent this place the attenuators  on the feed or input going to the main splitter, or to each splitter that feed your stbs.  This will eliminate pixelation on vod, mrdvr.  Another option is to replace the main splitter with a splitter that has more db loss to it (ie: 6 or 8 prt splitter)  this will most likely eliminate the need for attenuators.

  • IPod Nano freezing + Itunes issue

    My Ipod nano 6th gen was working fine since i bought it until today - today when i tried to play the Nano on shuffle it would simply freeze. I could hear the clicks but nothing would happen - it wouldn't play and i couldn't move to another function. i would have to reset the Ipod to get access again. Same thing would happen when i tried to find a song individually - i access a song, click it and then frozen. at the same time as this issue comes up now my itunes cant see my ipod. my computer can see it just fine, just not my itunes.
    any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Resetting the Nano was a good first step to solving the problem, but you may need to go a step further.
    Open iTunes, and plug in the USB sync cable; leave it in. You'll see an option in the middle of the iTunes display that asks if you might want to restore the Nano. This will erase your playlists, but if you have them backed up with iTunes, that shouldn't be a problem. Let the Nano automatically enter your playlists and files; make sure the transfer is completely finished before detaching the cable.
    Everything should be back to normal. Let me know how the intervention went, so I can make sure it went well. And others with a similar problem can refer to the data as well.

  • Freeze/Battery issues after upgrade to iOS 8.0.2

    Since upgrading my 3rd Gen iPad WiFi to iOS 8.0.2 I have been experiencing freezes where nothing works. I can't open apps or do anything. If I hold the on/off button down eventually it comes back to life.  Second issue is battery life.  Last night I closed my smart cover and made sure the display was off.  Battery at the time was 62%. This morning I opened the iPad smart cover and the battery was down too 23%.  This has happened a number of time over the past week or so. I have Blue Tooth and Location Services off.
    Both of these issues are new after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2.  No problems whatsoever prior to that.
    Not sure if I'm putting this in the correct category or not.
    Is there a way to wipe the iPad clean and reinstall everything from scratch or is my iPad just shot?  Thanks in advance.

    Same sort of issues here on my ipad3. iOS 8 turned it from a nice slick device into a jerky, laggy pain. Tried all the reset options and it's still pretty crap.
    NIce one apple, I'm changing to a galaxy tab after you broke my iPad!

  • 6500 slide issues (list it here)

    I hope to create a single thread to list and discuss all issues users are having with their 6500 slide.
    Let me start with mine:
    V 0.380
    10-09-07
    RM-240
    Variant: 255.02
    1. sometimes the buttons (numbers or options) becomes unrepsonsive; give it a wait and it works again.
    2. Ringtone and Message Alert tone goes back to default; or display some weird alphabet+numbers after a while. And i had to manually set back my favourite ringtone for both calls and message. This happens to the default 'General' and renaming MyStyle1.
    3. do you find the battery lasting? not for me.

    I got my 6500 slide 3 days ago and I have the same firmware version as you - as well as some of the same problems.
    The screen/buttons hang, and I have to wait or press the end button repeatedly to get back to the main screen and start all over again. A few times I had to repeatedly push the unlock + * buttons to unlock the phone. I also have problems viewing my contact info in the PC Suite...
    And I have scratches on the "2" key on the number pad. Is this just "wear" or is it a defect, as I see this problem reported by many others. I'd like to know so that I don't look like I have OCD when I go to the store for an exchange.

  • Freezing/Startup issue

    I've been dealing with this all weekend and wasted my whole weekend I guess. Here's the story:
    It all started when I updated iTunes. Never had a problem before that. I wouldn't have even updated it because I'm usually paranoid about updates anyway for this very ******* reason, go figure. I did it for some random girl who came up to me in school and asked if she could activate her iPhone on my computer. I'm always so nice and it always bites me in the *** big time and I always have to pay for it because no one else ever wants to ever take any ******* responsibility or even be polite.
    Anyway so I updated iTunes and my computer started freezing upon waking from sleep... totally freezing, nothing to do, had to hard restart each time. Then it started saying that I had to restart my computer when I restarted it instead of starting up... and then eventually one morning it just kept doing that and I couldn't get it to start at all.
    Took it to the Genius Bar, where a nice girl ran diagnostics and worked on it for about 45 minutes, inconclusively. She said "IF it's software, this, IF it's hardware, this." Great. Kernal issue was the most she could make out, due to what, she couldn't tell. Told me to go to TekServe.
    So to TekServe I went, he told me the same thing, told me I had to pay them some money to either fix the software problem by erasing my hard drive and reinstalling my OS, or pay them way more to send it out to fix the hardware (even more than the girl at Genius Bar said they'd do it for). Which is absolutely ridiculous, because I could do the former myself, I just needed to know WHAT the problem was. I asked him if there was or wasn't a way for him to be able to tell absolutely if the problem was with the hard- or software, so I don't just have to ******* guess and spend like $500. So he "found out" for me and had me wait a few minutes. Came back and said he tried some **** and it was definitely software. Definitely? DEFINITELY. Okay great.
    So I went home and did the erase and install myself.
    And later was very unhappy to find that I am still experiencing issues reawakening from sleep. Set the computer to not go to sleep when idle, just the display, which fixes the problem until I close my computer. That's it though. Still not happy.
    Also the COMPUTER wakes back up, it's the DISPLAY only that doesn't now, I didn't mention, since I did the erase and install. Or I'm not sure because when I try some keyboard shortcuts they don't seem to work, but the keyboard had lit back up and the fan is whirring, stuff like that. So who knows. I certainly don't.
    Just tried resetting the SMC too. I don't know if that WOULD make a difference after the erase and install, but I tried it anyway. Don't yet know if it helped. I still want to post this for advice just in case, rather sooner than later.
    Thank you very much, any tips you could give me will be extremely appreciated, obviously. I was yelling at all these people at like 2am when I realized they all ****** me over. I'm very upset.
    Thanks.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1337981&start=135&tstart=0

    Resetting the SMC sounds like a pretty good idea. If the problem recurs, try booting in safe mode shift key down at startup).
    If you can reproduce the issue with a reset SMC, a freshly erased and installed drive, and no third-party software loaded, then it certainly is hardware or an OS bug, no matter what anybody told you.

  • Multi-Lang support and slides issue

    First, is anyone here using slides-based Flash documents at
    all? Whenever I post my (IMHO well-researched) questions/reports,
    like the one linked to below, I never get an answer. By now I'm
    ready to give up completely on slide-based documents and ready to
    convert it all to "flat" Flash docs, but I'm just curious why the
    numerous horrible bugs in slides get no response, did everyone else
    but me know not to use them???
    (older problem, actually more a report because there is no
    solution, it's clearly a bug IMHO:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1255720&enterthread=y)
    Anyway, I found a new issue, which, like last time, I first
    successfully and easily recreated using a fresh (slide-based)
    document to make sure my AS code isn't interferring.
    Doing the same experiment with bot a "normal" Flash document
    and with a slide-based one, I created a dynamic text field and
    followed (Macromedia/Adobe) instructions to setup multi-language
    support (en,de) for the text field, using the Strings dialogue.
    It all worked as it should in the regular Flash doc, but
    nothing worked in the slide-based one. Right now I'm trying to see
    if I can still get it to work using the Locale class and AS code,
    but that doesn't seem to work either.
    Again, by now I've pretty much decided to abandon slide-based
    layout because of the bugs and the non-existing feedback, I'm only
    curious if I was the only one who ever even tried slides...(?)

    this should work. One thing to keep in mind is that Swing components have fonts set on them, so if the font you are using doesn't contain the characters, then you get garbage sometimes (I see this with japanese characters when they pump into an app I'm currently writing, even though I know I got the right character codes out of the email).
    Try base64 encoding the content before it is sent and save it (the base64) to a text file (Don't send the base64 text, send the actual content). Then base64 encode the content when it is recieved and compare it to the stored file (without the whole displaying thing). If they match, your issue isn't javamail, it is probably swing, or you aren't setting the character encodings correctly. If they don't match, javamail.
    Just taking bets I would say the two will match and your issue is simply the swing font thing.

  • Camera raw 5.6 slider issue

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with the sliders in ACR.  When I drag any slider to make a correction, when I let go if the mouse it pops back to where I started from and acts like it is locked or something.  If I try a couple more times, it finally works.
    I have never seen this before, and I have been editing thousands of images for years. Any thoughts?

    This may not solve your issue, but why on Earth are you running ACR 5.6?  Nobody should be running that obsolete version.  Update to 5.7 ASAP.

    I can't test the code here so this may be difficult to sort out - but let's try
    First thing I'd try is to append a query string to the image source URL. The jQuery code would be:
    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery("#featured img").each(function(index, element) {
            element.src += "?k=" + Date.now();
         // ... existing code...
    The section in bold is what you neeed to add. However your JavaScript file, "custom.js", is minified so it will be hard to find where to add this. If you have non-minified version please use that. If not, it's towards the end of the line 4...
