    i am downloading after effects and its will get to a different spot each time and say retry....... why wont it work!!!!????

    you're probably losing connectivity.
    you can try a different browser and/or a different wired connection and/or a download manager or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download from prodesigntools.com
    if you need a prodesigntools.com link, which version of ae do you need?

  • When I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    when I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • A Simple measure formula(why wont it work??)

    Hello Gurus,
    Here is a simple formula I have written. It will show 1 just fine when its Non asset accounts with Datasrc dimension member of other than CTA, but it shows just blank when the IIF condition is met(AST account and datasrc CTA). Why is that? Here are all the steps I am taking:
    1 - go to dbo.measureformula table and change the statement
    2 - process the application
    3 - reopen the report
    Please advise.
    IIF([%ACCOUNTDIM%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="AST" AND DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA]),1)
    NOTE: I know this measure doesnt make a whole lot of sense, Why 1 for all other data intersections? this is just a simple example to resolve the issue, the actual formula is much more complex. thanks.
    Edited by: ZalakT on Dec 30, 2011 5:12 AM

    Wont work, I am thinking its something to do with DATASRC dimension, may be its not possible to use datasrc dimension? Because here are diff variations I have used adn none of them work. When I say none of them work, 2010.total, 2010.q4 etc all of them show up blank, and yes, tehre is data in the months.
    IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
    IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
    IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER="CTA",(MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA]),1)
    IIF(DATASRC.CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ID")="CTA",MEASURES.[SIGNEDDATA],1)
    it wont let me put [ before and after ] signed data.

         Ok, sorry if the titles not good enough but i am a php programmer between begginer and intermediate but who wants to know java so i can say write a applet or something that can run from the desktop directly, also i wanted to lean OO and it in php confuses me infinately so i decided in the context of knowing nothing i might pick it up better thus java.
    So most of what im doing is confusing to me so i just tried to type some code (Well the first 20 maybe lines i compiled and tested but after that i couldnt test so i just ran with it. Today i tried to compile and poof, nothing.
    Any clues what im doing wrong and what i should do instead?
    BTW this stuff feels weird, i feel like to take imput it should have a html form or something. I dunno.
    also i dont even seem to have these acm packages im trying to import, any clue why?

Today i tried to compile and poof, nothing.I assume you got a compile time error, if so next time you post a question incorporate this piece of information.
    Any clues what im doing wrong and what i should do instead?I can take a stab at your code.
    BTW this stuff feels weird, i feel like to take imput it should have a html form or something. I dunno.One step at a time
    String yodawg;
    yodawg ="I heard you like saxaphones  ";This is not an error but plain weird IMHO, if you are declaring a variable then initializing it, you might as well do it all on one line.
    if (/* String? */username == "yes" || "Yes" || "YES"){
      testingthiscrap LeroyJenkins = new testingthiscrap
      LeroyJenkins.LetsDoThis()
    }This code will not compile and should produce one of possible many compiler errors. The condition inside the if statement requires each condition to be independent of one another. e.g. (username == "yes" || username = "Yes" || username == "YES").
    This also represents one of the most common errors presented to new comers. Equivalence of Objects such as Strings are compared using a method .equals() and not the term "==". The latter actually compares two Strings by the address stored in memory.
    class runBy convention all Class names begin with a capital letter
    Also it appears that the class run contains main method and an inner class in which itself contains a main method. I will conclude right here that you are biting off far more then you can chew. Start with the basics, e.g. Google for Java tutorials and start from "hello world" then make your way from there. Tackle one problem at a time and learn the concepts of the tutorial which will hopefully stay with you, as these fundamental concepts will be your foundation to development using the Java language.

  • My itunes 7 wont open. its active in the taskmngr though.why wont it work?

    When i click to open itunes 7, it does not load.
    Well, what it does do is load yet it doesn't show up in anywhere but the [task manager(TM)]. Since, i open the TM
    and i see all my processes itunes is one of them and then i try to end the process and it wont work. the only thing i can to to close the process of itunes in the TM is turn off or reset my comp.
    It is irritating as i have had this issue a few times before with version 6, but i just attributed to it to me closing a process or having too much open at once...since, that was usually the case.
    Now its happening for no reason, as itunes will be the only thing i try to run. so if anyone has a similar issue and fixed it or has input. it is appreciated.
      Windows XP   dumb itunes...

    i've seen that symptom before.
    a preliminary question aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits: by any chance, do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?

  • Can anyone explain this (not the typical why wont it work ques!)

    So my phone works. I can make calls and text and everything. I just can't sync. What's up with that? is there more to the activation process? or something?

    It means the downloaded file is corrupt. You need to try again. Are you on broadband or dial-up? If the latter you can expect problems with large files coming through uncorrupted. Alternatively try downloading the file directly from Apple's download site (www.apple.com/support/downloads/.)

  • Why wont imessage on ipod touch send messages to my iphone contacts?

    I have bought my daughter an ipod touch - she wants to use the imessage function to send messages to me on my iphone. The ipod touch lets her type the message but whenever she tries to send it it comes up with a red exclamation mark and says message sending failed. On other occasions it removes her contact list, or the send button wont press. So far she has not managed to send one message.
    Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    Are both you only using the same Apple ID email address (and likely your phone number) in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive?
    Can she Message other iOS users?

  • IOS 5 install is missing my apps and Siri. Where is Siri? and why wont iCloud work?

    iOS 5 install installed but not all the way. Here's a list of issues so far:
    My apps are all gone
    The "Siri" app...which is 50% of the reason anyone would want to upgrade wasn't included in the install. How do I get Siri on my iPhone 4???
    iCloud fails to activate...does this have an icon too? if so I don't have it.
    Why only a partial install? I mean, I understand the servers were busy...but if it takes its slow time to complete...why still miss these features?
    I should have started with my iPad2...but after all this crap...I wont give that one an upgrade for another month.  I'll wait until everything is all sorted out.

    1. Your apps will go off the phone because it is putting a clean install of the software on.  You will be able to sync them back over after along with music etc.
    2. Siri is only available on iPhone 4S.
    3. Siri is only available on iPhone 4S.
    4. iCloud is located in Settings, you will also have to activate it on your other iDevices using the same apple ID to connect them together.
