Weird PhoenixNub2.kext Warning (Please Help its driving me crazy)

Ok so this has annoyed me for some time now. one day i restarted my powerbook when it booted up i got a warning message that reads. System extension cannot be used. the system extension"/System/Library/Extensions/PhoenixNub2.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. and since that day it comes up everytime i restart or wake it from sleep.
Once the the screen stopped working. I had to hook the powerbook into my television and and use mirroring to fix it.
The only thing i get on a google search is two things on the sony CD spyware but they said nothing of how to fix it. does anyone know what this is and how I can MAKE IT STOP.

Hi athelm,
You are correct. It is the Sony copy protection garbage. These are the two files you'll need to look for:
PhoenixNub1.kext and PhoenixNub2.kext
Now, as far as the removal process goes see below:
Boot up in 'safe-mode' (hold the shift key down while starting your computer). In the main hard drive navigate to System>Library>Extensions. Locate the two extensions (listed above) and delete them. You will have to be logged in under your admin account while doing this.

    9 hours??!
    Twice the length of a cinema epic?
    How are you expecting to distribute it?
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

    Help!Help!iOS 7.3 its driving me crazy,it freeze when I use de zoom in texts what can o do?

    I understand why you would think that, but logically it doesn't make sense. I can read and write to the ipod with windows explorer with no problems, so the flash drive seems to be ok. I can also load, read and play songs through Itunes 6 on the computer with no problems. The problems start in Itunes 7 and when the ipod is used as an ipod alone....not a drive. The diagnostic windows tell me the drive is fine and the battery is ok (just a little low on voltage) but hubby says not enough to worry about. If anything was wrong with the hardware I wouldn't be able to use it as a drive would I? Its almost as though the thing is "stuck" on the boot up window of "use Itunes to restore". I even tried to load rockbox. The software all loaded but I still got the itunes restore window on startup and thats as far as I can go. Another thing I noticed recently is I can't seem to turn the ipod off! I can reset it but it just "reboots". After the restore notice about 10 seconds later the whole screen will blank out. Also when I plug the ipod directly to the wall to charge, I also get the apple...then the itunes restore notice...but never a battery charge icon (like my classic 20gb)...is this normal? This nano was given to me - (Also, this is a first generation, but I posted in the second generation thread) Would a repartition work?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Running so slow its driving me crazy!!

    i finally got my mac up and running with the new 300mb seagate harddrive, but its driving me crazy how slow it is. even if i open up system preferences, it takes almost a minute to pop up.
    what can I do? a semi-professional looked at it and was guessing the processor is just slow. it is the dual processor 1mghz. he took out a ram card a couple months ago - i had bought an extra 256mb (i'm hoping these are right - i'm recalling off the top of my head) and left it in a plastic bag. okay to put it back in? what dangers could that cause?
    please - any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    Generally, 512MB of RAM is a good minimum for OS 10.4.
    More is better, depending on how you use it.
    As far as how to speed it up.

    my  i tunes is skipping like a scratched cd….please help it is driving me crazy...

    If no change after restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • FB SECURITY WARNING - Please help!

    After i managed different accounts on Facebook, Safari listed  all webpages as text  and images  in vertical order.
    on top of every web page  the message:
    SECURITY WARNING: Please treat the URL above as you would your password and do not share it with anyone.
    im unable to  log into Facebook, and  Safari is practically not usable.
    Is it any trick to remove this warning and strange formatting  of text and images?
    Sunny

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then uninstall them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • Please Help its an urgent

    Dear,
    I am making BDC for Transcation Code <b>KKS1</b>. In this transcation when we go through the transcation then the output is shown in ALV Grid format and as we know that we can convert an ALV Grid into List output or Excel sheet. which I want finally in EXCEL Sheet Format. During transaction there is no Problem every thing is happening perfectly.
    <b>But if I want to record a BDC for the same</b> then then first of all I have to check the box continue after commit. then only I can record the BDC. because only after checking this box i get the output in ALV format. <b>Now till here I have done sucess fully.</b> Now In BDC I want to convert the  ALV into EXCEL SHEET OR LIST OUTPUT. Generally we can't do this. we have to do this manually but is there any way to convert the <b>ALV Grid into EXCEL Sheet or List Output during the BDC.</b>
    Please help me Out.
    I need it urgently.
    who ever will solve my problem I will reward him 10 Points.
    Siddarth

    Hi Siddarth!
    Like already Erik began to describe:
    most probably you can't use a BDC in a way you expect this.
    Excel is just installed on your PCs, also SAP needs GUI interaction to make an excel sheet. So your call transaction would have to run online - but normally you create BATCH input sessions to run something in background...
    Without GUI you won't get a correct ALV (also this can create it's containers with link to a GUI), nor excel download.
    If it's a one-time action: maybe you can run a BDC online and placing a mobile phone or some other office tool on the 'Enter'-key.
    You can also try to record a CATT (transaction SCEM) or eCATT - they are newer and can handle more dynpro situations, especially one option of eCATT should be able to make scripting.
    Regards,
    Christian

  • Please Help its Urgent ***POPUP at the time of MIGO Posting*****

    Hi all,
    Please help me on this issue,
    I want to display one popup at the time of migo posting and that popup ask to user that " How much labels you wants to print?" and in next of that i want one text box or input field in that user inputs the number of labels he wants to print.
    I have tried using various POPUP functions but i have not got any FM which fulfill my requirement so please help me on this issue?
    Kind Regards
    Sudarshan Gaikwad

    The standart POPUP* function modules seem to either give an option to output descriptive text, or ask for a dictionary based field as an input.  As you want both in one popup you may need to write your own custom pop-up.
    Create a function group with a Z function module and add a dialog screen with the required text and input field to this function group.
    Take a look at function POPUP_GET_VALUES as an example - A custom written one could be a lot simpler.
    Then call this function from your user exit.

  • Why does my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4 turn off when it has 30 percent of battery,the percentage sometimes varies it can be 50%.Please help its annoying

    I don't understand why it does this it turns off when it has above 20% of battery, I need to find out what's wrong because it's becoming really frustrating, please help. Does anyone else's do this?
    Thanks

    Hello Calduffy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone4.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was unexpectedly powering off.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
