My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

Here's what worked for me...

Here's what worked for me:
1) I opened iTunes and in Options, I selected iTunes as the default music player for my computer (it wasn't). (I even uninstalled RealPlayer and WinAmp.)
2) I uninstalled iTunes and iPod, and reinstalled using the newer versions on the Apple site.
3) I basically followed this advice:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=291183&tstart=0
Which was basically to leave my iPod connected to the computer while rebooting. The first 2 times it didn't work, I forgot to put iTunes in the start menu, so that it opens when I reboot. I put iTunes and iTunes Helper (whatever that is) in the start menu (I used WinPatrol to do so, available for free here: http://www.winpatrol.com/), and then rebooted, and after a couple of tries, like magic iTunes opened, recognized my iPod, and updated it, and then, for the first time, without freezing my system, told me it was okay to disconnect.
It even worked while still running my regular systray apps, like McAfee VirusScan, Ewido Anti-Malware, Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, and SpywareBlaster, so those were not the issue. I get the impression you need to boot it once so it recognizes the iPod and does that handshake thing, and hopefully after that it'll always do the same. We'll see...
I hope this helps someone, b/c its been a frustrating day working through all this, and I know a lot of others are still trying to get it solved. And thanks to jcog for posting his solution, that helped me, and hopefully this will help someone else...

it worked until the next time I synced the iPod, and then back to the freeze up. Next thing I tried was this Microsoft help page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
which advises on several things, all of which seem helpful, but the thing still freezes up. I can sync the iPod, then the system freezes and I have to reboot. So, I now believe Apple will have to issue a patch for these bugs when using the new 5G iPods with WinXP.

QT7 installing(what worked for me)

There have been numerous post's about having problems installing QT7. I had the same problem and got the same errors that other's are posting. There doesn't seem to be a accurate solution to this problem of wether it is the Microsoft OS or the Apple installer. So I will post what worked for me in finally getting QT7 standalone to install.
I downloaded SP2 for XP pro to get Windows Installer 3.1, I previously had version 2.0
I then removed QT from the computer using the add/remove control panel. And then went to the Folder Options control panel and selected, show hidden files and folders. Then went to Start>search all files and folders, QuickTime, and removed all that was left behind.
I then went into the registry, Start>run>type in regedit>OK
In the registry, I first went to HKEYLOCALMACHINE+SOFTWARE and deleted Apple Computer, Inc. And then hit the F3 key on the keyboard to get the next QT registry key to appear delete it and hit the F3 again for the next one to appear, and keep repeating this until they are all removed.
I then went to each registry listing-HKEYCLASSESROOT, HKEYCURRENTUSER, HKEY_USERS, HKEYCURRENTCONFIG
And would click on one to highlight and then go to the Edit menu, click find, type in QuickTime, hit the enter key on the keyboard. Delete the QT registry entry, and hit the F3 keyboard key for the next one to appear. I went thru this procedure until everything QT was removed from the computer.
Note: the registry is very risky to go into deleting keys. It would be wise to go to the microsoft website to get further info before attempting anything in it!
This worked for me. QT7 standalone then installed. I also downloaded Windows Installer Clean up Utility. Ran it and found QT 7.02 in there and removed it.
goodluck

I don't know why this is not installing on some computers and not others. It took me 2 or 3 days to get it to.
The only things I did was update to SP2 to get Windows Installer 3.1 Remove everything QT from the computer as I previously mentioned.
In Install Shield I downloaded driver 7. I had read a article about having the same number driver in Install Shield as the first number of the version of the progarm you are trying to install. In this case it is 7.0.2, so I downloaded 7. I did not bookmark the link to this. So I don't know now where it is on the web. But after doing this it still did not install.
It didn't install to after I removed QT from the computer and ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. And removed QT which was in there. Here is the link to download the installer cleanup utility.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Also this link my be of interest.
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108393
I don't know what it was exactly that got it to install. But this is all I did. If you have any other questions or compare what I have on this computer your welcome to ask.
I realize it is fustrating and wish I could have been of more help.

The fix for loading web pages-What works for me.

Ever since I went to Tiger I have had problems with Safari and any other browser while at work on my dsl connection. I knew it was not the connection because my G4 with 9.2.2 would work. At home on cable Tiger worked fine. What I found out is that the router/server combination my ip used were Sisco and for some reason Tiger does not work well with them. I asked a programmer familiar with linux to help me and he gave me some code to type into terminal and guess what it works great!... almost! Every time I start Safari I have to enter the code and all is fine. Here is the code
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0
See if it works for you and let me know. You will find terminal in Applications/Utilities just copy the code and paste if you want. I had problems before just getting web sites like ups.com to load or even google search pages to load.

Thanks for the tip... I don't have the problem, but others must!

IPhone-Outlook 2007 Calendar Sync (What worked for me)

Hi;
Today after 3 weeks of day after day trial my iPhone-Outlook 2007 Calenar synch problems seems to be fully fixed. Once again this is what worked for me - I am sharing it and hope that can help you as well:
Overview
========================
I now fully believe that the root cause of the issue starts from a corrupted appoinment entry in your local calendar file. This appointment entry in turn breaks your outlook sync file known as the .OST file. I will tell you how to fix this later. This file is what iTune uses to synch the iPHONE calendar with your Outlook 2007 (same should work for outlook 2003).
In short when the outlooksync.DLL file called by iTUNE, request to sync with outlook - it is the outlook that cannot resolve a corrupt .OST file and all goes to **** after that.
I say this as "This is up to you find this bad calendar entry, get rid of it, get rid of the .OST file, and finally tell Outlook to do a repair job on your outlook installation. I will tell you all how to do this as well.
Steps to fix this issue:
===========================================
1- Go to your outlook calendar and delete any old appointment that still is in there. I got rid of anything older that 2 weeks. To do this just go to your calendar in outlook ... swith to a List view ... sort based on date and highlight anything older than that date and delete. This took me about 30-45 miutes of work... so be paitent with this step. Also, get rid of any holiday notification BS that Outlook puts in your calendar ... you can do this later.
2- Go to outlook-tools-trust center-click on Add-In and then at the bottom of the screen click on Go and validate that your two outlook sync dlls are marked and enabled.
3- Shut down outook and go to the following directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\
Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
and rename your .OST file ... (there should be only one out there).
3- Go to your control panel and do start/stop applications. Select Outlook and click on change ... outlook will come up with a few options. Select "Repair" this should force outlook to replace the .OST file which you just renamed.
4- Now starts your outlook and let it do its initial sync. Make sure iTune is off at this point. After the Outlooks initialization is done ... now comes the moment of truth...
5- Start iTune (I recommend that you select manual sync) and sycn with your calendar.
At this point I learned that all my calendar items have come in ....
Good luck and let me know if this works with you. Please Please remember the first step ... getting rid of your old appointments is the most important step ... don't rush it ... get rid of anything that you don't need.
Cheers;
Darab.

You can try resetting sync history by clicking on edit at the top of itunes and choosing preferences. Then click on the iphone icon at the right top of the window that opens. There is a button at the bottom of the window to reset sync history.
Also, you can try creating a new login on the computer.
Open outlook and put in a few trial events.
Then sync the iphone to this outlook calendar replacing all calendar data on the iphone.
This is to see if you end up with dots on every day.
If you do not end up with dots on every day, then you might want to take a look at any reoccurring events in the other outlook calendar.
Hope this helps.

THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME

For hours I tried clicking back and forth from something else in iTunes back to the "iPhone" hoping to reconnect; that didn't work it! After five hours of clicking back and forth (as other users suggested) I decided to browse the iTunes store and after I looked at everything "AS SOON" as I clicked "iPhone" it began to restore the back-up. So I guess Apple wants to see if you are interested in spending all your money with their enticing iPhone enhancement apps that should have came with the original iPhones in the first place before they let you finish your upgrade. Hope this works.
[Serious Post]

This is what worked for me:
I called 1-877-419-4500. I got a guy named Don.
I asked him to make sure the 'business' thing wasn't on my account. It wasn't.
We reset the phone. (Hold home button and sleep/wake button) nothing.
He said he was going to get a hold of someone in the 'technical activation dept'. He did.
They found a 'glitch' on my account. Seems the activation was placed on hold. they took that off.
turned off my phone, plugged it into usb cable, itunes got it, viola! activated.
call that number. talk directly to a human, no wait, no menus.

MythArchive. Does it work for you?

I have mythtv setup and everything working for me except this piece. I've been fighting this for some time. At first mytharchive simply would not start. I outputted to a log and it said that the output to dvd had not been compiled in. This was from the prebuilt packages in the Arch repos. So I downloaded the source and compiled. Then I was able to select what I wanted to archive and all, but it gave me errors when it actually got to the transcoding portion. Some unknown variable name, sorry I've forgotten the exact because its been awhile. So finally I decided to download the source for everything and compile that. Well I can't get mythplugins to compile, because of unknown variable errors during the make. At this point I have surrendered.
My question is simply this. Does it work for you with the latest releases? How did you install? Arch Packages? Compiled from source?

I had to get it working by compiling it myself i.e. using the mytharchive PKGBUILD, putting it in an empty directory and running makepkg.
This version of mytharchive requires make clean on each build, or, as I did, it needs to be built from a clean directory. See this for more details..... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/229431

How is the New Forum Structure Working for You?

Just wanted to ask how the breakout of CS5 and then other PrPro/Pr versions is working for you.
Though not all that warm to the idea, I have to say that it seems to be working nicely. I have seen few posts in the wrong spots, though some might be better suited for Hardware.
My fears have NOT been realized, so I am glad that the powers that be never consulted me, as I would probably have turned thumbs down. Early observations indicate that I would have been wrong.
What do you think?
Hunt
PS - remember, "points" are at stake here folk!

Well, since I was one of those who asked that CS5 be in a separate section, I like the fact that it now IS by itself
As far as posts in the wrong place... that will always happen and all we can do is continue to point people in the right direction
I scan for new messages in ALL the Premiere sub-Fora, and will continue to do so to keep learning

This is what worked for me, Read!!!! Now I am activated

So like many of you I was stuck waiting for 24 hours. To make this short, do this. If you have been emailed and Activation ID call...877-800-3701. Ask them to cancel the current attempt to activate. Once you do, then connect and iTunes will prompt you to activate as if nothing ever happened. Once I did I was done in five minutes. My hunch is that "We", that are waiting for countless hours, we are stuck in some sort of loop. Break it and good luck.

Versions- Which One Worked For You?

All my iTunes versions worked wonderfully for several years until I upgraded to v7.4.
What was your best iTunes version that did what you wanted without ruling your computer? I can't remember my version before v7.4. (Yup,, I'm stupid.)
All I need is my music library, iStore for new music, radio URL's, and multiple speakers.
Not much to ask and my previous version did every thing GREAT. BUT,, like a dumb, take things for granite that all will be OK, trusting duffus, I installed v7.4 and my world of daily music, either play lists or radio went away. (I changed on August 23, 2007)
What version worked for you???? I'm thinking that either v6.0.5 or v7.0.2???
I just need to go back to a "Plain Jane" version. I don't need all the "bells & whistles". V7.4 seems to be completely in control of my computer.
Sorry to ramble.........

Robert,
Man,,,, Thanks for the input! I thought I was living on the Moon. None of my other posts were responded to.
Hey,, The Library is the least of my worries. I've become a "pro" at removing a version and reinstalling. At this point "PlayLists" are not a priority. I just need to get back to where I was.... Meaning radio URL's connecting.
I think that to do a "go-back-to-earlier-version" I'll wind up re formatting my hard drive 'cause I've tried to revert to v6.0.5, but the uninstall for v7.4 doesn't clean up all the little traces of v7.4.
Oh well, I love iTunes and I'll try your version......
Again, I really thank you for responding.........

Is Adobe CC working for you-beyond Snow Leopard?

I use Mac & Adobe for my my business. I can't charge for the work-arounds. Work-around's are what I get from support. Like -do a "save-as to the desk top cause the folder is corrupt." Why after 20 years does a folder become corrupt. Or maybe it has only been 10 years? I've put off Lion because I heard from others about all the problems over the past 5 years. There is something wrong here. They are trashing what works for "what can we turn it into". I have to get work done, I do not have time to not play. Maybe they have a playpen and sep from the workers.

Hi bunsworth,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
I would just request you to go through this link, it might have some important information.

Does BT Openzone work for you?

I live in Central London and work in the City so I often find that my iPhone has connected to BT Openzone or The Cloud if WiFi is on.
The reason I usually discover this is that it is taking an age to download something or to move to the next page in Safari. I usually have to switch off WiFi in order to get the much faster connection I can get in 3G.
There is Cloud WiFi at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and that appears occasionally on the phone but I can never get any downloads during a match via Cloud or 3G.
All in all, it seems to me that the public wi-fi connection to the iPhone is useless and the only useful such connection is a personal/corporate one.
What are other people's experiences? Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone been able to get "DVR Manager" (go to Verizon's web site>My Verizon>Manage My TV, scroll down to "DVR Manager", click "Manage") to work? I always get the error" "We are having trouble communicating to your Set Top Box.".
I just had FIOS installed (TV, internet, phone) last week. Everything is working great. Except this. I've researched/tried lots of things unsuccessfully. "Home Agent" doesn't know DVR Manager exists. Neither does the online Automated Agent. I tried Verizon's online chat help, but their suggestions didn't help either. I'm wondering if it works for anyone, or is it some discontinued-but-still-advertised feature.
If DVR Manager works for you, please tell me what you did to get it to work.
-dbir
Yes, has worked for years. And while I don't use it very much, I just checked, still works fine.
Have you gone into the Menu on the DVR and set up the FiOS TV Remote DVR dialog? If not, you need to do so. You will need to set up a Parental Control PIN to access the dialog if you have not done so.
Menu ==> Settings ==> FiOS TV Remote DVR ==> Web Access ==> and enable it (at least that is what I remember you had to do at that point)
Hope this helps.

Search People "Put your profile to work for you"

Hi all,
I have an issue related with default search people in SharePoint 2013. When I search my own profile the result shows my profile (so far, good) but you can see:
Put your profile to work for you
Number of searches that led to you:
0 times last month
0 times last week
Last updated: Yesterday at 6:14 PM
When I click to "Put your profile to work for you" I can edit my profile and save it but the message that I've written before always is showing when I search
my own profile. Someone knows what have I do to doesn't show it? (Because is not truth, my profile have been searched more than 0 times).
Thanks in advance,

Hi Victor,
The "Number of searches that led to you" section should be "Self search" info searched by others per the following article.
http://planningservices.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/en/SDPS/SAPSDocuments/SharePoint%202013%20Search%20Guidance.docx
The update content should be crawled by Search crawler, then it would be queried and searched, you need to start a incremental crawl or a full crawl on user profile, then test again.

Snow Leopard Printing Woes - what worked for me

I found many print problems posted EVERYWHERE from every printer manufacturer and model and many solutions and some worked for some people. None worked for me.
I have a HP Laserjet 2100M, which is old, but is listed as compatible with SL. I cannot part with it, as it is a true laser printer, not a monochrome, which means when I need to colour separate say a blue and red document, it prints as solid, not grayscale. It has printed 44,820 pages for me over the years, with only laser cartridge replacement as an expense. As well, I cannot find anything but monochrome for a replacement.
It worked on my old iMac G5 running Leopard, however, when I got my new iMac running Snow Leopard, I got "Printer Offline" message and it would not go online and while some solution ideas got it to print, sometimes, it was only good for one or two jobs and then would stop again, or it would say printing and nothing would print.
Here is what worked for me:
I disconnected my printer's usb and power supply, reset printer system.
Went to Macintosh HD-Library-printers-PPDs-contents-resources and deleted all of the HP Drivers.
I got my HP 2100 series driver from my old iMac and put that back in the resources folder and emptied trash.
I shut down my computer.
Replugged in power to printer.
Started up computer.
After fully launched, I connected my USB cable for the printer. I went to add printer and it came up right away and said new software update was available for my printer AND I SAID NO to updating. In selected my driver, and...
My printer and I have reached a compromise!
It still says offline, however, everything is printing anyway... this I can live with.
I also found this link, which I will only try if I encounter any other disruptions
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&task Id=110&prodSeriesId=385457&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=385457&objectID=c018677 22
At some point I printed a Self Test/Configuration page which has I/O Port Status as
USB STATUS - not ready
and Appletalk Status - Ready
which is probably a good clue, however, I have been printing successfully for 15 hours and my hair is starting to grow back.

The HP document appears to solve your issue. When your hair starts falling out again, use it.

What works for you?
