Win 10 Preview turned Steam 8 into a brick

Installed the latest build of the Win 10 preview, build 10041, onto my Stream 8. The install seemed to work fine until the final reset. When it came up, it was just flashing back and forth between the desktop and the start screen. I let it do that for about 10 minutes and finally powered it off and on.
Now it powers on showing a picture of a river running through a forest and it won't go beyond that screen. Powering off/on several times gives the same result no matter how long it sits. No gestures or taps will do anything.
Performing a power on reset (volume down + power button) gives the screen for choosing restore options but pressing the F11 button doesn't perform any action. After a few seconds an error screen is displayed saying:
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
error 0xc000000f
Press the Windows Key
The Windows Key is not recognized so nothing happens other than the screen going blank after a few seconds.
Repeating gives the same results but some of the other Fnn keys do work:
F1 - system information works
F2 - system diagnostics works
F9 - Boot devide options - none work
F10 - BIOS setup - did not change any settings
F11 - results in error above
This question was solved.

Currently, Windows 10 is not yet supported on Stream 8. Try to revert your unit back to Win 8.1 by using system recovery (Vol down +Power Button). If recovery partition is deleted due to Win 10 update, you need to bring your unit to Sevice Center to recover to previous OS.

KitKat update has turned my phone into a brick. It won't turn on, and I can't get it to take a charge. HELP!!

My phone went through the Kitkat update about a week ago, and since I've ran out of battery with in 8 hours of taking it off a full charge, and now today It died, and I plugged it in, well it won't charge, and i can't get it to turn on at all. My phone is a brick right now and I really just don't understand what I can't do to fix it.

Don't do the update. My phone did the update and the droid laid on his back with an X and now all I get is the red logo. cant do a factory reboot or get into the ap menu just red logo. IT BRICKED MY PHONE I have had it since they came out and have been all over the world with it, and never had a problem until KITKAT BRICKED IT.
Verizon only response is to send me a refurbished phone that I will have to spend weeks to get it set back up to the way that I had it.
I am not happy with the response for their screw up. I don't want a refurbished phone I want my good phone to work and they don't know how to fix it just replace that is the support. I have seen the post on the net and I am not the only person that this has happened to in the android community.
If you want a good paper weight than do the update and take the chance.

System update 4.08 turned my phone into a brick

I believe it was OTA system update 4.08 for my incredible and now my phone halts at the fastboot screen. It wont boot to the OS and is non-responsive with both volume buttons and the power button. Is anyone experiencing similar issues? I'm going to the verizon store tomorrow to see what they can do.

I can't get this one to install. I get the message that it will reboot and install, but it never does. I do have a concern as this is rooted, but still running the pure software, no cyanogen or anything like that. I did also pull off a few of the VZ crapware that came pre-installed so not sure if that made a difference.
I have tried chaning the date and time to trigger it but same thing, downloads, states it will reboot to install and nothing. I have an S3 on order so not too worried about this. Prob will do a factory restore before putting it up for sale.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now?

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

How do I turn an image into a transparency?

Hi,
There's a question I've seen asked dozens or hundreds of times, and I thought I found an answer a few years ago. I've since forgotten how to do it:
Turn an image into a transparency.
Now, the obvious solution is to set the layer to "multiply." Yes, this is the effect I want. However, I want the layer to be transparent instead.
Another solution is to draw an image on a transparent layer. This works great, but only applies if I create the image from scratch. I want to convert an existing image.
Another solution is multiple steps:
1) Copy image
2) Click "edit in quick mask mode."
3) Paste image
4) Exit quick mask mode.
5) Invert selection.
6) Ctrl+backspace to fill selection with black, on a blank transparent layer.
Result? The image is now transparent! However, this converts the image to greyscale! Great for linework and text, terrible for photos or art!
In an older version of Photoshop 7, I believe I got the following to work:
A) Follow the previous steps 1-6, creating a layer with transparency
B) Copy the original picture to a layer above the transparency
C) Group the layer with the transparency layer below. (Note, grouping doesn't work the same any more.)
D) The top layer provides the colors, but the bottom layer provides the transparency.
E) It is too light, so you take the top layer, and maximize "saturation" 100%.
F) Merge the two layers. It retains the transparency of the bottom layer, with the hue of the top layer.
This no longer works, because I don't know how grouping layers works anymore.
So, I need white pixels to be transparent. Black pixels to have zero transparency. Red pixels to have zero transparency. Etc.
Meanwhile, grey pixels are solid black, but partly transparent. Pink pixels are solid red, but partly transparent.
All pixels are 100% saturated, and the "lightness" is determined by how transparent they are.
So, an analogy would be printing a photo on a transparency. I need to convert an image to a transparency.
If the image/layer were overlaid on white, it would look exactly like the original photo.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Mathematically, it's easy. But I don't know about any filter, process, or method to make the conversion using CS5.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello!
I hope that I understand what you need.
(One could just put the image on a layer, and lower its opacity, but you seem to be looking for an effect in wich the tranparency is not the same for all pixels.)
Try this:
1) Turn your image image as a layer (double-click it if it is a background layer) [In order to add a mask]
2) Select all, Copy (CTRL+a, CTRL+C)
3) add a layer mask (click the rectangle with a circle in the bottom of the layers panel) [to be able to change transparency]
4) target the mask [so that you can past an image in it] ALT+click the mask, paste the image.
5) Invert the colors of the mask (CTRL+I) [in order for the white to be transparent and the black opaque].
You now have a layer whose transparency is based on the lightness of the pixels.
Hope that's what you are after!

Win 8 Preview x64 on my T61

Took the plunge and made a clean install of Win 8 Preview x64 on my T61. I did a full backup of Win 7 just in case I wanted to come back.
My observations:
Installation was without a hitch and fast. Lots of personal information requests, e-mail address, password, full name, country, state, zip code.
Metro desktop is pretty but really designed for a tablet or PC with touch screen. Navigating Metro with a the mouse or touchpad was cumbersome to say the least. To go beyond the Metro icons it takes many more clicks than in Win 7.
The standard desktop and Windows Explorer are still available but without the Start button everything takes additional clicks. Additional menus are available by hitting the screen edges and corners but are not intuitive, to me at least.
All my devices were recognized from the getgo but Windows installed a generic driver for my Nvidia discrete video. I was able to install the official Nvidia drivers without issues.
I wanted to install some Lenovo software and started with TVT Power Manager for Win 7. Not good, the software loaded some old MS Visual C++ distributions and .NET Framework which concerned me. Thinkvantage Power Manager seems to work fine except I noticed that the Metro Internet Explorer 10 was broken after that. IE 10 from the classic desktop continued to work, go figure. By the way, I did not notice anything different between IE 9 and 10. Maybe it is all behind the curtains.
Next I tried the TVT Fingerprint Reader software. Total fail, it installed but does not run. I then gave up experimenting.
Played with Win 8 a little more and then decided that it was time to go back to win 7!
Ran the R&R backup from my usb drive and I am now back to my old and great Win 7 installation!
Moderator edit: Matched subject to content.
E420, i5, 8GB, 500GB/7200, 32GB mSATA, Win 8.1 Pro x64
T61, 4GB, 500GB Hybrid, Win 8.1 Pro x64

Turned out it was a problem with PRAM. I reset the PRAM (holding Command + Option + P + R) after "Windows could not update the boot configuration". And ran the install disc once more and it worked!
Hope this helps somebody.

Turn a script into an .exe file?

Hi,
How can I turn a JavaScript into an .exe file (on Windows)? The
advantage is that if the script uses only ScriptUI features, it will
never need to launch InDesign. Additionally, it is possible to package
it that way with a special icon that appears if it is placed on the
desktop, and when it runs the icon appears in the taskbar.
An example of what I'd look to achieve is the hyphenchecker script,
written by the late Teus de Jong. There is one Windows-only version
available on his website (which is still being maintained, probably by
his son) which is an .exe file -- precisely what I'm trying to do.
Thanks,

straight form javascript i don't think there is a way.
however you can use, i think, Visual Basic (not vbScript!!) as a wrapper for js (using doScript)?

Mail turns PDF attachment into jepg

I use distiller and acrobat to create PDFs from Quark documents; for the last few days, attaching a new PDF to an email in Mail has turned the PDF into a jpeg which PC users can't open. The problem has just cleared itself (without me knowingly doing anything) but it has happened before and I guess may happen again. Any idea of the cause and solution?

What I should have said is Apple should not make the Image Size adjustment an available option when a PDF file is attached to a message.
Yes, this is the answer. Using the term seemed to happen - it either happens or it doesn't but Mail will not and cannot change the file type or the file extension for an attached file without user intervention. Using the Image Size adjustment for a single page PDF file which appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the message does change the file type or file extension for the file from .pdf to .jpg since the Image Size adjustment is intended and can only be used for picture or image file attachments, not with PDF files.

Need to turn this PLSQL into a procedure

Hi All,
I have the following PLSQL which declares a cursor, then loops using the cursor variable. I'm new to creating procedures and packages and i'm having trouble turning this PLSQL into one of those. When i put my PLSQL code in a procedure it doesn't like the DECLARE statement or the CURSOR section. I'm not sure how to tweak it to get the syntax correct for a procedure. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Here is the PLSQL:
DECLARE
/* Output variables to hold the result of the query: */
groupid assignment_group.id%TYPE;
/* Cursor declaration: */
CURSOR Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor IS
select distinct id from assignment_group;
BEGIN
OPEN Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor;
LOOP
/* Retrieve each row of the result of the above query into PL/SQL variables: */
FETCH Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor INTO groupid;
/* If there are no more rows to fetch, exit the loop: */
EXIT WHEN Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor%NOTFOUND;
/* Insert the the new rows */
insert into ASSET_RANK_GROUPED (asset_id , dt, rank, score, ASSIGNMENT_GROUP_ID)
select asset_id, max_dt, rownum, score, groupid from (
SELECT <big nasty select statement>
END LOOP;
/* Free cursor used by the query. */
CLOSE Asset_Rank_HistoryCursor;
END;
How do i change my DECLARE and CURSOR statement so the procedure will create. Do i need to break it out into a function?

I figured it out... just had to play w/ the syntax. Had to make sure the BEGIN statement was AFTER the CURSOR declaration and had to make sure any variables are declared up top, didn't need a DECLARE section in procedure. I just put the groupid variable right after IS at the top of procedure creation statement.

What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone?

What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone system?
If you buy a separate conference mic and a speaker, can they somehow work together off the iPhone headphone jack like a huge set of group earphones? What if you want to connect 2 mics and a speaker?
Do you have to be very careful that they can all be attached somehow at the same time?
Are there reasonably priced conference room speakerphone peripherals the work well together that you would recommend?

Why don't you contact Apple and find out? Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

Turning PDF Documents into Word Documents

Can I use my Adobe Creative Suite 6 to turn PDF documents into Word Documents?

Acrobat comes with most versions of Creative Suite and it is capable of converting PDFs to Word documents. The quality of the results depend on a number of things. If the PDF was originally generated from a Word source and it's well tagged, you will get much better results. More complicated layouts will generally have worse results and there will be considerable cleanup in Word needed. Exporting to text is sometimes better.
For the future, there is a better forum for this type of question: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions

Turn Word documents into PDfs

Is there any way to use Automator to create a command so that I can turn Word documents into PDFs in one easy step?
Thanks, Ken

Hi "jhaystead",
Apologies for making an incorrect suggestion. "Batch Conversion" is a feature in Acrobat 9 and above.
I'd suggest you use the "Open All" sequence > Double-click it to EDIT > For "2. Run Command On:" choose "Selected Folder" and BROWSE to the input folder. Similarly for "3. Select Output Location", you can choose "Same Folder as Original(s)", click OK and then "Run Sequence".
This would invoke the PDFMaker for conversion of Word documents to PDF and save the output PDF(s) at the folder mentioned, instead of printing and prompting to save the output each time Adobe PDF Printer is called.
Plus, could you please check if the Adobe PDF toolbar/menu options are there in Word and working fine?
When you said,
"The only way I can get PDFs produced is to manually open each word document, then save it as a PDF. I haven't had any luck with multiple PDF creation." Were you printing the Word documents to Adobe PDF Printer or using the PDFMaker options?
Thanks!

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to overlay on another video in another program. probably export as avi. I know I can in after effects but comfortable with premiere. basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background ppro cs6 windows
[ email address removed by forum host ]

Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
Or...
If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
Or.....
Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
Or ...
Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

Where can I get a Lightroom preset that turns a portrait into a sketch?

Where can I find a Lightroom that turns a portrait into a sketch?

If Photoshop or Photoshop Elements is installed, LR can pass an image to that directly; but any other application or standalone utility that you use to carry out a job like this, can be set up as a named "external editor" preset. This gives equally easy access from inside LR. You don't need to Export a copy, start a program, find and open the image; nor, then import the results back to LR - these steps are all automated for you.
You right-click on an image and select your editing preset in the context menu; LR saves a copy of your current image and opens it into the other program. You complete the task there, Save and close. LR now (all by itself) shows two versions of that image - the one you saw before, and a new one which shows the results of your external edit.
So even though LR is not in fact doing the task, but subcontracting it out - it is still just about as convenient for the user, as it would be if this were a true LR extension / plugin.
Some Photoshop plugins come in a standalone version as well, and in that case, the standalone app can be used as a targeted editor by LR, which may be faster and simpler. However if you do use such a plugin (or technique using standard tools) within PS, or other full-featured image editor, you have a full range of other editing possibilities there at the same time; for example, so you can mask and vary the strength of your "sketch" effect across different parts of the photo.
