Win 8 users having problems?

Prior to getting Win8 I was having difficulty getting Link to back up my phone.  Now that I have Win8, LINK is even worse. It crashed the PC & brings up a BSOD with a message about some watch dog violoation thing......... I should add, it does this only when I plug in my phone.  Otherwise, I can open Link & it's OK.  But if I can't plug in my phone to back up, then what good is LINK?  That's right! NO GOOD.
Is there ANYONE who has Link working on WIN8? 
Any suggestions on how I get this to work?
(by the way: Win8 is pretty horrid if anyone is considering getting it... Don't say you haven't been warned)

Yes, have been having the DPC-Watchdog-Violation blue screen pretty much every time I leave my Z10 plugged into my computer.
Just recently read a post on CrackBerry I think where they thought it could be a conflict with a bad SD card in the Z10. My SanDisk 64GB SD card is always in my Z so that 'could' be it. Was going to try another SD card to see if that is it.
Though I never had the problem when I was on Win 7 though so no guarantee.
Not sure if BB Link v1.2 provided new drivers for BB 10 phones but if it did, maybe it will reduce the BSOD. Also, it seems that it doesn't happen on WiFi so if you can sync that way, that may be the way to go about it.
And, yes, not too impressed with Win 8. Still using it but hope for better things with 8.1.

    Hi,
    I too have too many problems with printing. Which kind of printing setup have u got. Like users have windows desktop and a line printer is connected to it.
    If this is the case the case then u need to check if TCP/IP line printer service is running or not by navigating to
    check for service fist:
    right click my computer--> manage --->services and applications(down the bottom)-->services ---> then look for TCP/IP PRINTING service
    if its not ther then u can enable it as following
    Vista:
    control panel --> click classic view ---> programs and features --- >turn windows features on or off(on left hand side) and make sure print services is enabled.

  • For users having problems with Mail functionality...

    Hello! I have been having problems with Mail functionality as well, so, I took a few steps to see if I could solve the problem on my own.
    My problems were:
    Mail would freeze when sending mail, or, when I pressed quit, it would freeze.
    If I toggled between inboxes too much it would freeze up.
    Even after trying the many techniques others offered on this board, Mail still froze up. So.. here's what I did:
    1.) Turn off the auto-retrieve mail function in the preferences/general menu. Set it to a manual check. Just check it yourself every once in awhile. It may not be as convenient, but it works, trust me.
    2.) Under the fonts and colors menu, set all three fonts to the SAME font (mines Century Schoolbook, but anything works) and turn off fixed-width font. Sometimes mail has a tough time decoding and working with texts, and causes it to freeze.
    3.) Clean our your main inbox! Place the emails that you want to keep, but don't need to be in your inbox in a new folder on your inbox bar (mines aptly named 'Saved Messages.' That way, when you open up Mail to your default account, it doesn't have 1,000+ messages to index. Also, try to keep the inboxes from having more than 100-200 messages per. It seems to frown on any more than that.
    After trying these three easy, steps, restart mail and see if things run smoother. I have had no problems since these changes, and mail runs a ton better. Plus you don't have to worry about deleting your library/mail folder anymore. Let me know if things work out so I can see if my theory is a universally proven thing. Thanks and good luck!

    Good question. I have worked very little with IMAP other than as a testing device, so, on a daily routine I cannot say how it would function. However, I can only expect that by having the option to download all emails for offline viewing selected, you are right in it being a lag creator. Another suggestion would be, if you are running a single-computer setup, to have the account delete emails from the server after recieving them on your computer. Thus, you reduce the risk of repeat downloads or unnecessary build-up on the server end. DO NOT select this option if you run multiple computer set ups on one AppleMail account system or you will cause some discrepancies and/or data loss from system to system. Or, if you have emails redirected from a seperate server to Mail (i.e. I redirect mail from my university email account into Mail so that I don't have to go to the web-mail site to check it--> just like Gmail or Yahoo etc etc) you won't be able to check them from the web-based email system if you have the system delete them. Ok that sounded confusing. Solution: have the system remove emails from the server after a week (or any period of time, just not immediately) so that, in the off-chance you need to use the online system, you will have access, and will give you a chance to check the emails on other systems without a threat of data corruption (by corruption i mean that frustrating feeling you get when you can't find that super important email that was in your inbox just 10 seconds ago on your desktop etc.)
    I will see if I can learn anything more about IMAP Ernie. Its definitley the biggest problem source for Mail, POP and .Mac being simple and functional as long as you don't play with the settings too much. As far as the issue of Offline viewing goes, try turning it off and seeing how Mail functions.
    BEFORE you turn it off, however, I recommend saving all of your emails in your inbox as a text file or something so, in case the server burps and has a brain flatuence, you don't lose anything. Been there, done that, thrown the books against the wall in a frustrated rage.
    My only reserve about the Offline Viewing is whether or not Mail will, when you click "recieve mail," have to re-download the emails from the server each time. If so, then it may end up taking longer and lagging more. The issue here is obviously minimizing the amount of activity between Mail and the email server without jeapordizing information on the server or multiple Mail programs on the same account. When we can find that balance, I think Mail's potential will be realized. Keep the questions coming.

  • Z10 user having problem with Facebook app.....

    When I launch app, I reecieve "Facebook did not return any stories" - "Tab to retry"....When I check my news feeds on the facebook website there are news feeds. So it does not appear that APP is syncing with website. I have done the following already:
    1. rebooted z10
    2. updated bb 10 operating system (May 16, 2013)
    3. updated fb app (May 17, 2013)
    As a side note I also have a Q10 which is having the same issues.

    So FB decided to start working again - if you look on Crackberry loads of people having the same issues, looks to be something to do with the type of updates people make - eg, linking to videos. How hard can it be for BB to sort this out?? I've posted on here, to BB UK via Twitter and direct to the FB development email address ... pretty poor overall tbh.

  • PDA Users having problem accessing AP 1121

    PDA'User's are not able to connect to AP while using TKIP encryption. Where as laptops are able to connect to AP.
    Kindly let me know if there is some configurtion that i need to look on.
    Any suggestions on this would be appricaited.

    OK - the issue is this, TKIP "Temporal Key Integrity Protocol" & AES-CCMP "AES-Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol" are part of the WPA/WAP2 wireless encryption security standard.
    Not all wireless drivers/devices supports the WPA/WPA2 security standard.
    The fact that when you try TKIP - it fails, but when you use WEP it works, just enforces this.
    You may want to check to see of your PDA OS has any updates for the wireless to enable use of the WPA/WPA2 standards.
    What are the PDA devices? waht OS do they run?

  • New user having problems!

    Hi ... I used my ipod nano for the first time yesterday, and it worked like a dream ... I bought some songs and connected my ipod and they were all synced fine ... however, earlier I bought a few more songs, a game and a music video, but when I connected my ipod, I got a message saying "This ipod cannot be used because it requires Itunes version 7.6 or later" ... so I went to the web site and tried a few times to download and install Itunes 8, but I'm getting a message saying "Invalid Drive (E)"
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Many thanks!

    turn on itunes, and use the itunes interface to check for updates.
    Drive E is referring to your windows computer... not the ipod...
    on your computer... what is drive 'E'???
    i assume drive 'E' is a cd/dvd drive (you cannot save files to cd/dvd drives)
    typical computer has local disk 'C' as the main data disk.....
    when you click on the download (if your not going to do thru itunes) change the saved area of the file to your desktop to reduce confusion.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    i'm a new user on iPhone. My sister gave me her old iPhone that she bought in UK, she she it here in the Philippines and i'm having problems because i can't use it. i already restored it to set it up new but i couldn't still activate it. It says, " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached." and "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information."
    what should i do for me to be able to use it?
    please help!
    Thank you very much!

    It is locked to your sisters carrier.
    She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

  • I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me?

    I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me? actually, my computer can't start  since three days ago, could it be the same problem?

    Logic is the APPlication (program, app) that you are having the problem with.
    Logic Pro can take advantage of other computers on your local (home or work) network to help it do "heavy lifting" data chores by using Bonjour and a feature called Nodes.   It seems that Logic is attempting to find and connect to another machine on your network.
    Do you have Logic installed on another computer there?  That may be the source of the confilict.
    You might want to post this question in the Logic Pro Community.
    Be sure to indicate the version of Logic Pro that you are using.  I'm sure the folks there can help you out.

  • I am having problems using my Apple TV. I get a message saying incorrect user id or password, but I am able to sign in everywhere else. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I am having problems using my Apple tv with home sharing. I continuously get a message that my user name or password is incorrect, but it works on other devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unpower it.  If it still  happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

  • 1 gen ipod user having some problems with click wheel

    hello forms,
    I have a 4 gb 1gen black ipod nano and lately ive beem having problems with the click wheel.The problem is that when i wnt to skip to the next song fast forward etc. it takes alot of pressure to make it change song fast forward etc. and i was wondering i know my ipod is out of the whatever day warrenty but I havent done anything wierd or stupid with my ipod so would this still be covered by warrenty as a defect.

    Either way, as the iPod is out of warranty, it will be expensive to repair/replace if you ask Apple to do it. Take it to a store by all means, but also consider 3rd party options.
    iPodResQ.com are highly thought of in the Mac community.

  • If you're having problems updating firmware and have Windows Media Player 11 B

    I've seen a number of problems with people updating their firmware with WMP installed and it turns out that's the problem. WMP has a bug in it that will not allow the firmware update to recognize the player. So, here's what to do to roll back to a previous version:
    These instructions will only work for Windows XP
    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform the following procedure.
    . Disconnect any portable music or video devices that might be attached to your computer.
    2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    3. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    4. Click Windows Media Player , and then click Remove.
    If Windows Media Player is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
    . At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
    2. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Player , and then click Change/Remove.
    5. In each of the two confirmation dialog boxes that appear, click OK.
    6. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes), click Restart.
    7. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    8. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    9. Click Windows Media Format Runtime, and then click Remove.
    If Windows Media Format Runtime is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
    . At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
    2. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Format Runtime, and then click Change/Remove.
    If you installed a non-US English version of Windows Media Player , the instructions in the dialog boxes that are mentioned in steps 9, 0, and might appear in English.
    0. In the first confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.
    . In the second confirmation dialog box that appears, select the Do you want to continue with the rollback? check box, and then click OK.
    2. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Restart.
    3. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    4. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    5. Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack .0.0, and then click Remove.
    6. Follow the instructions that appear in the Software Update Removal Wizard.
    If the Wudf0000 confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. When the software removal process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Finish.
    If you are still having problems and all else fails, do a System Restore to before WMP was installed.
    *Note: If you remove Windows Media Player and the Windows Media Format Runtime, and then encounter error C00D27D ("A problem has occurred in the Digital Rights Management component. Contact Microsoft product support, you might be able to resolve the problem by installing the Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime. For information about installing the Runtime, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, see article 8922, "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players."
    **You might not be able to roll back to a previous version of the Player if the hidden folder $NtUninstallwmp$ is deleted from your computer. Some non-Microsoft programs (such as CCleaner) delete this folder in an attempt to remove unwanted files from your computer.
    More information here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer
    Some people have found these instructions to be a solution to the "Player Not Connected" Error when trying to update the firmware. (Your mileage may vary)
    Note to Mods: This would make a nice sticky

    OK. I've been having this problem and have probably read every post there is on the net concerning it. But it doesn't seem to be only a Media Player problem. I was only running Media Player 0 when it happened to me. I found the solution somewhere, I can't remember where, but it worked for me and it was easy.
    Here's what you do:
    . Download BOTH ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe and enXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
    2. Connect the Zen Xtra to your PC.
    3. Run ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe. When the window comes up and says that your device is not connected DON'T do ANYTHING! Just leave it there.
    4. Now run ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
    5. It told me that I already had this version on my device did I still want to load it's I said yes and it went through the whole upgrade and now it works fine.
