Windows Frustration

Greetings.
About a year ago we did an interactive sales piece in flash
that loads and unloads different FLV files contained within SWFs
for each section. It was recently brought to our attention that you
can only watch each video one time on Windows based machines. Once
you leave the section you are in and come back it will not play
again. This was not an issue at all on Macs but for some reason the
flash exe files were having this trouble.
I immediately figured that we had left out the unload movie
command in the action script, and that it was only allowing it to
load one time, and was technically still there when the viewer came
back to it- hence not starting at the beginning and appearing
missing. I was right. I went through then entire project and added
unload movie commands for level 1 just ahead of the load movie
command in each section, thus giving a blank slate to load from. It
worked perfectly on the test PC so I figured the problem was solved
and duplicated/labeled 15 disks.
NOW I find out that my testing was inadequate. My fix only
works for windows 98 and older machines, but everything running XP
or newer still only gets one viewing per loaded movie. Even if you
dont leave that section, but click the heading to get back to the
beginning, it unloads and wont return. Really frustrating.
I always thought than an .exe file was generic and would play
on all PCs Thats why we keep an old 98 machine in the office for
testing, because it stands to reason that if something works
smoothly on old equipment, newer machines should have no troubles
at all.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of OS specific code to
make this functionally active in XP? Is this a known issue when
loading/unloading FLV files? I havent seen any mention of this
elsewhere, so any ideas at all would be great.
Thanks!

what version of xp is your dell ? if its not got sp1 on it then xp wont see full size of your 160gb it'll only see 137gb

The "old dell xp cd" isn't by anychance without sp1 . If installing
on a partition you have made >137GB you get errors .
the best solution restart install - after the repair prompt :-
1) delete current partition
2) Create a new partition say 80gb (it'll only tae 1/2 time to format )
Format & install on this
3) Install Sp1 or Sp2 & rest of mobo drivers etc.,
3) Once windows is installed & updated it will see the full 160gb drive & you can then use admin tools disc management to create a nother primary partition of 80gb.
see How to partition and format your hard disk by using the Windows XP Setup program
if your unsure.
Sorry for false start Moral of story post your specs (1st)
luck

On Windows, after either method of setup, change the driver (on PC) to Apple Color LaserWriter. Apple print queues expect postscript as input.
If this is unsatisfactory, you can create a RAW queue on the Mac (only for sharing the printer, because it will have no driver associated):

Linux on my X220T (and why it failed)

I’m sorry but this is going to be a long post but I have seen so many posts out there from people in my position - making an attempt to migrate from Windows to Linux - that I felt compelled to share my experiences. This is not a Linux bashing post either. Like UFOs, I want to believe. I just haven’t seen the light yet so if there are any Linux evangelists out there who have got Linux working on their X220T then I would *love* to hear from you
Background and reasons for change:
I am not your ordinary Windows user. I work in IT and I’ve been working with Windows since the days of v2 (yes I’m that old) running on Dos. I’m comfortable with it. Because of my age I’m also comfortable with the command line. I’ve worked with Xenix (a variant of the original Unix) and have a grasp of the fundamentals. Now I’m all grown up and an IT consultant I wanted to ‘round out’ my understanding of my business by getting to grips with Linux in order to write code. I understand it’s very different to the nice little bubble of Visual Studio where everything happens around you. I’ve yet to find out Sure I can produce a virtual machine and learn in there but wanted to immerse myself in it all so decided to convert my X220T. This little beauty is not my main work computer so I could sacrifice the contents. If your X220T is your only machine and you need it for serious stuff, think carefully before going ahead.
Starting point:
My X220T was pretty much out-of-the-box Windows 7. It was working fine, but had the odd glitch. Wouldn’t hibernate properly (although it did before an ‘upgrade’ screwed it up) and the mouse kept losing its settings despite following all the advice, upgrading, hacking etc to fix it. I also had Windows 8 preview on the ‘Q’ drive and was liking that but of course it’s not really ready to go yet.
My choice was Linux Mint with the KDE desktop. Did a bit of digging. Seemed to do the job. So I took several backups, trashed the drive and installed it.
My previous experiences with Linux have always been a battle to get the OS to see certain devices. Wireless cards never used to work. Peripherals failing. Not resuming from hibernate. That kind of thing. This time it was flawless. It simply installed. Everything appeared to work! Fantastic!! Of course it wasn’t all there yet. But because my internet access was up and running (had always been an issue before) I was a happy man.
Then three things happened almost simultaneously.
I wanted to read an eBook and the screen wouldn’t rotate
I couldn’t log on using my fingerprint reader
My fan wouldn’t shut up
So thought I would tackle the first issue. KDE supports a tool that pops a nice little icon on to your task bar to allow screen rotation. Didn’t work. What it did do was install the Wacom drivers to manage the touch screen and it would re-orientate the mouse ‘as if’ the screen had rotated, but the display itself was in portrait mode. So spent two evenings after work working out how to make this happen. In the end I wrote two shell scripts to rotate the screen AND to set the Wacom drivers to orientate the mouse and stylus properly. Job done! Felt pleased with myself. I was cross that the KDE interface screen button thingy didn’t work properly but that’s life. I had learned something. Two dos-like icons on my task bar flipped my screen (albeit slowly) from landscape to portrait and back again.
Meanwhile, I’m sitting in my conservatory (no power) and watching my battery disappear in about two hours. Under windows, my usage pattern gave me at least five hours before a re-charge. And that pesky fan didn’t run once! Peace!! But not with Linux. It was annoying so thought I would tackle that next. Everyone uses their machine differently so since power consumption is quite subjective I thought if I fixed this I could move on to other things and then ‘suddenly notice’ that my battery is still powering my baby after four or five hours.
After research and digging into a cpu frequency daemon (background process) I realised that this was the wrong line of attack. That took another two evenings of work. The Linux Mint kernel doesn’t support this. More research suggested that this was an old/different methodology and the approach was to use cpu ‘governers’ to control cpu frequency switching. The governers have names like ‘ondemand’ and ‘conservative’ and as you might guess, the conservative one holds the processor speed down to reduce power consumption. You may assume dear reader that I had done all the other stuff. Turning off bluetooth only happened in software and I gave up before researching that. It may be possible to turn it off in hardware via the operating system but didn’t get that far. Screen brightness, wireless etc. Typically when I read a book I flick the hardware radio-off switch on the side which of course turns off bluetooth and wireless, so they were taken out of the equation in terms of power consumption.
After another evening of digging I managed to discover how to instruct the machine to use the ‘conservative’ governor. By now I’m starting to get a bit fed up. My philosophy was partly to learn what it was like to live in the world of Linux, but mostly to get to grips with the C++ compilers, possibly mono (A windows-like development environment) and Apache (system for hosting web sites) but hadn’t got beyond the foibles of the operating system. Finally got the conservative governor in place, rotated my screen (still working!) and settled down to a good read (purely for testing purposes of course
Within five minutes, on the came the pesky fan. Battery gone in about three hours. This had me seriously pissed off by now. But still wanted to battle on. Thought I would tackle the fingerprint reader next. Found a driver but it didn’t work. I could register a fingerprint but when it came to save the results it died. Even as the godlike super user it failed.
Then I found another gui based app and that one worked. Well, it worked nicely in-system. Anything that needed elevated privileges it would work for. I just couldn’t use it to log in. When the laptop was in tablet mode I couldn’t authenticate with my fingerprint reader and there was no on-screen keyboard to use as an alternative.
And it was all these little things that eventually drove me screaming back towards Windows. I’m now running Windows 8 CP as my main desktop. It’s incomplete and has its own set of foibles, but by installing some of the drivers that Lenovo supply for Windows 7 it is perfectly usable.
The screen rotates out of the box
The buttons along the bottom of the screen work to rotate the screen (never did get that working in Linux but it was on my list
Power consumption is back to being pretty good for a laptop rather than just average
I can turn my bluetooth off at the hardware level but leave my wireless running so that I can browse the internet without hammering my battery too much (using the Lenovo on-screen utility form Windows7)
I can logon with my fingerprint reader and when it fails (I get it wrong three times) I can revert to an on-screen keyboard to get me out of trouble without having to switch to desktop mode to do it.
I know they are small things but they are now what I am used to and what I expect from my operating system so why should I do without them?
My feeling as I sit here writing is that Linux is great. Don’t get me wrong here. I still love it and intend to explore further, but unlike Windows there is a learning curve that you HAVE to climb. You have no choice. When I come home at the end of the day, sure I want to play with my little Lenovo and have some fun. But then I want to relax. Do a bit of surfing, read my ebooks and generally do stuff that the operating system is intended to support. Instead the operating system got in the way of my user experience rather than supporting my user experience. The problem for me is that wihlst I can produce a Linux machine in vmWare or VirtualBox, the driver woes I’ve just described are hidden from you because those virtual worlds either abstract the problem away or don’t port-over the hardware from the host that you want to explore the problems with. The only solution is to buy another X220T to play with and that’s not worth it for me.
I also think that my relatively large understanding of Windows frustrates my experience of because I am now a novice with the computer which I’m definitely not used to and that of course skews my perception.
So if there are any Linux superheroes out there who have solved all the above issues and can lead me into the glorious sunshine of developing in the wonderful world of Linux then please talk to me. And for the rest of you guys in my position for whom this has struck a chord, if you want to play, I’m sure the results are worth it but prepare to be frustrated!!

Hi all. I must be in league with the devil as my lucky number is 13. When I saw Galloping Gerbil or Raring Rhinocerous or whatever the **bleep** thing is called I also saw v13.04 and thought that the time had come to go again!
So it's about a year on now. Two important things have happened. The first is that my trusty old X220T is now no longer my primary machine so I can afford to lose it to experimentation for a while. The second is that the huge behemoth that is Linux is rolling over the bugs and niggles that sent me screaming back to Windows all those months ago.
So I've tried again with Raring Ringtail v13.04 and right now I feel as if I've come home! It's still not right but it's pretty close! More importantly, I fee that I'm no longer in the minority in wanting to get this to work right. There is this big push out there towards touch screen so people are spending time on this and wanting their software to be touch screen friendly so it is!
Before I go on, I was rather shocked when I did my pre-13.040-install research to find this post top of the google list on linux on x220! I'm guessing that my thoughts must parallel a lot of other people thinking about making the jump. So to that end, here's some thinking.
13.04 is close. Really close to being a very serious competitor to Windows. My view is that Linux is about there now. The X220T is a complex beast to support. it has touch, pen, fingerprint readers, rotating screens etc. And it all works pretty well. I can do a sudo apt-get install to make the fingerprint reader work. And it DOES work. Reliably. I still have issues rotating the screen but I've learned enough now to knock up a simple bash script that will do it for me. AND (this is where the Linux philosophy works) I have written the script to suit me. I like to hold the battery unit in my left hand and hold my laptop in portrait mode to read books/browse the internet. Then switch to normal orientation to type emails etc. The script only toggles between normal and anti-clockwise and back again. Works for me.
The issue with Linux was more that it was a philosophy than an operating system. You don't just "use" it. You immerse yourself in it. That made it geeky and non mainstream. You can make it sit up and do stuff that suited you exactly if you were prepared to put the time in. The issue was that until now it didn't do the basics reliably enough to suit everyone. I used to read a lot of stories about sons/friends putting Linux on to Mums/Dads/Grans laptop and it working beautifully. Linux is very very good at this. It just works. But getting it there was a right pain unless you were lucky. Now however that out-of-the-box functionality is really really close. To the point at which Tracey from Essex (forgive me Tracey!) can stick the CD in and expect the same functionality from Linux that she could get from Windows without having to sweet talk that geeky bloke that she knows has a crush on her to come in and sort it all out
Once you get past that bit then you end up in this little wonderful world. Without too much effort courtesy of all those hard-working ordinary people out there, I have a machine that will do most of what I want without tweaks and pokes that take days to research. Now I can browse, read my books, play the odd game and "ignore" the operating system until such times as I choose to tackle the odd tweak. On my relatively small screen for example I want hide the Unity launch bar thingy. However if I do this I can't get it back via the touch interface. Enter Ginn! I have yet to play with tihs but I can configure multi-touch gestures to "do stuff" like making the launcher appear with two finger gestures (!) and that little nugget of configuration pleasure is waiting in the wings for when I get bored reading the news or playing silly games. My operating system has now become a toy, a tool and a learning centre. I can now pursue my long term dream (okay I have modest dreams!) of being able to develop AJAX based web sites using WCF in Mono running under Apache. That means I have all the fun of learning how to use Apache, and working out how to make WCF code in Mono. These things are easy for me under Windows and IIS but how you do it in Linux is a new and exciting challenge! Yes I truly am that boring!
I wish I could change the title of my original post because Linux is coming of age. Windows had better watch out.

ITunes 10.1 does not recognize my iPhone 3G anymore (0xE800000A)

I have participated to another question in this forum that I believe had a similar if not same question:
I have recently tried to connect my iPhone 3G to iTunes (v. 10.1) in order to update it to iOS4.2 and sync some music. When I connected the phone, the following error message appeared:
'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800000A).'
Ever since I have searched for solutions and I am not even sure that the error fully relates to iTunes as all the other comments I found in other threats were talking about 'USB bus issues' and 'Apple Remote Devices' that then again do not seem to apply to my problem either. All my USB ports work just fine and the cable connecting the phone with the computer is good as well (my iPod is using the same cable and is recognized).
Another user suggested downloading and installing the iOS4.2.sdk, which I now downloaded but cannot open because it is 'not recognized'. I wonder whether this relates to the same issue or whether I should need to install that package in a special location (I am the main user of the computer with all admin rights and have never seen any disk images not being recognized...)?
I am frankly a bit at a loss now. Not that I urgently need to upgrade my software for the phone and also music syncing is not that important right now but I would like to know what causes it and if there is ever going to be a solution for it.
Actually, for one: is there a possibility to re-install an earlier version of iTunes? When following the suggestions on the help pages, I completely uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but the problem still persisted (even with restarts between the steps). I do believe that this all started when I actually upgraded iTunes to 10.1. I synced the phone just fine before and the next time I connected it I had upgraded iTunes to the newest version and now synchronization does not work anymore.
Anyone any tips?
Thank you so much in advance.

Yikes! I just had the exact same problem, but thankfully found a better solution.
This may have been added since you had your problem, but the very very last last thing on this support page finally fixed my problem http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221 :
1. Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer, and quit iTunes.
2. From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
3. Type the following and press then Return:
/var/db/lockdown
4. The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
5. In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted to.
Note: Do not delete the lockdown folder itself. Only delete the files contained inside the lockdown folder.
6. Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes.
Most of the search results I found for this error were on Windows--frustrating. This is the only Mac solution I found that actually worked.
I'm guessing the /var/db/lockdown directory isn't restored in a Time Machine backup, so that's why your wipe fixed it.

All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

HowTo Sort Photos by Name on iPad (Windows 7, etc. - For Those Frustrated)

So I was very frustrated as I read manga, etc., sometimes in image file form, and the Photos feature on the iPad is perfect for it. Except, when I uploaded the photos in iTunes, they'd get all out of order, and as it stands, there is NO way I know of to sort them in iTunes or on the iPad directly - they are sorted by date taken, period, unless you have iPhoto, which I don't since I don't have a Mac (and there's no version for PC). On a sidenote, I hope Apple provides some photo sorting and more robust options in future updates as this seems to be a rather silly oversight.
Also, I did not come up with this fix on my own, but wanted to streamline it after a lot of trial and error and reading multiple posts on the forum which helped me figure this out. This is using Windows 7, but Vista and XP should be fairly similar. Here's how to get your Photos sorted correctly (It worked for me anyway, so hopefully my logic is right on this):
1.) First, have it set up to sync in iTunes, obviously, with your files in the proper folder (originals or copies - you'll be modifying some of the picture data, so a copy might be best if this data is important to you on the originals). Personally I made an iPad folder (to sync up) in my Pictures directory with image sets in subfolders under it (I believe the iPad can only read one subfolder down). You'll also want to sort the files by name as you want them to be sorted on the iPad.
2.) In the main iPad photo directory you've made, you should see another directory called "iPod Photo Cache" - delete this (it'll regenerate upon next sync with the new order).
3.) Get into your iPad sync folder and then into the subfolder with the individual files you want to sort. CTRL-A to Select All, then once selected, right click, select Properties, and then the Details tab.
4.) Click "Remove Properties and Personal Information" at the bottom. A new window should pop up. Click the radio button for "Remove the following properties from this file:" and then check the "Date taken" box. Alternatively, you can hit "Select All" if none of the information is important to you (what I did). Click "OK" to make that window disappear, then "OK" to close out Properties and accept the changes.
5.) Go back into iTunes, resync, and you should have properly sorted files now. Enjoy, and please let me know if this works for you!

Unfortunately it wasn't this straightforward for me! The above method seemed to work initially on some photo folders but then I found that it didn't on others. I've spent quite a few hours today investigating and experimenting. The iPad definitely sorts on the Windows file attribute "Date Taken" - the difficulty is changing this attribute using batch processing of several files at once. My EXIF metadata date fields are correct so I would like to be able to update the Date Taken file attribute from EXIF data for lots of photo files in one go. No-one seems to have written a program specifically for this task. I have tried various popular EXIF utilities and have only managed to do it with manual intervention on individual files which is too laborious for all my photos. It doesn't help that when you try and manually edit this Date Taken property for an individual file in Windows you can only change the date, not the time.
In my opinion, the real solution is for Apple to offer us a choice of the photo sort order in ITunes. My preference would be filename, perhaps with options to choose the Date Taken attribute, file timestamp or date modified filestamp (EXIF date fields as well is probably asking a bit too much!)

I second this question.

So frustrated with the overwhelming number of bugs in iTunes for Windows...

I hate to come across as a Negative Nellie but this program is frustrating me so much!!!
Summing up the major burrs under my saddle:
Won't play ANY movie file. Just freezes and hangs.
Can't download updated apps without freezing and hanging.
Can't access iStore without (take a guess?) freezing and hanging.
Synching to my iphone or ipad causes itunes to hang for indeterminate periods of time. MOST times it will come back after a few minutes.
Often can't complete synch because of one of those 'undefined' errors.
iTunes has mysteriously dropped whole audiobooks, movies, ebooks, and albums out of my library, even though the files are still there.
iTunes can't rescan its own media library and add files back.
Don't even get me started on DRM. I can't play back movie files and TV episodes that I own from my iTunes directory to my smart TV because iTunes won't recognise the TV and allow me to authorise it as a device I own. So I'm stuck playing back video that I've paid for through Quick Time or VLC media player on my Laptop instead of on my 1080p FullHD 55" TV!!!
I know my way around my PC, I've tried all the relevant tips on the Apple site to no avail. I've removed and reinstalled iTunes; no change. I've tried 'repairing' iTunes under add/remove programs in Control Panel; no change.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Sattelite P870.
I'm sick and tired of having to coddle this piece of flaky code to try and make it work. It's rubbish. It has NEVER worked properly under Windows and it seems to be getting WORSE every time it's updated.
I would really like to know if Apple are going to put things right with this program once and for all, or do I drop all my iDevices right now and switch to a Windows tablet and smartphone? I'm 3 generations Apple on my iPhone and 2 on my iPad. This is seriously getting to the point where I will walk away from Apple forever. What good is having the devices if the software that is SUPPOSED to integrate them all has more bugs than a bait store?

You can give feedback directly to the Apple folks if you like. (We're a user-to-user community, so we don't have any control over the bug-fixing process, and there's no guarantee that the relevant Apple folks will see this topic.) Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

Updating Issues. Windows 7. Adobe frustration is neverending.

Windows 7 CC user. I can't update to the latest AE or PS versions. CC claims they are up to date when they are clearly not. Adobe Application Manager claims that only Prelude can update automatically.
When I manually grab the updates from Adobe I get an error saying I can't update (12.2 for AE for example). Very frustrating and customer support is anemic at best. I'm sorry to be so negative, but this is getting a bit ridiculous.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced anything similar?
Thanks,
Chris

You will have to run teh Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and start from scratch. Tho9se obstructions come from updates that introduce compatibility issues with shared components. Of course it's a mess, but well, Adobe may learn one of those days...
