X240 Volume cannot be reduced

Hi Everyone,
I recently got my X240. I noticed that I can't control the volume on the machine. It won't let me reduce the volume or mute. Each time I am able to mute or reduce the volume, it goes back up again to 100%.
Even weirder is if the machine moves a bit e.g, when I type, the muted or reduced volume would suddenly go back up to 100%.
Is there a way to solve this? I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you!

TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it. Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it." The has never happened before. The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday. Thanks.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

Backup Volume cannot be mounted

Time machine stopped working for me back in July. I've looked at every post and tried nearly everything, and I cannot get it working again. The error through the Time Machine pref pane is "The Backup volume cannot be mounted." The errors in the console are the following:
Sep 4 23:19:25 tesla /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[50182]: Backup requested by user
Sep 4 23:19:25 tesla /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[50182]: Starting standard backup
Sep 4 23:19:25 tesla /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[50182]: Network mountpoint /Volumes/Backup not owned by backupd... remounting
Sep 4 23:19:26 tesla /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[50182]: Failed to remount network volume.
Sep 4 23:19:31 tesla /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[50182]: Backup failed with error: 19
This is a network volume. It's a 750GB firewire drive, formatted HFS+ with a GUID partition table connected to an iMac. The iMac can back up just fine to it. My MBP cannot. It worked before.
It appears it is failing to remount the drive as root rather than myself, as backupd runs as root. Others are having the same problem, and I've seen no resolution for this particular issue. Is Apple even aware of it? Do they even read the discussion forums?

Paul,
Give these ideas some condsideration:
First, it is important to distinguish this error message from another, similar Time Machine error that states “The backup volume could not be found”. This is important as the causes and cures for these two errors can be very different.
Give each topic separate consideration. If one does not resolve your issue, move on the next one.
*Time Machine Has Lost Its’ Backup Disk*
If Time Machine was NOT setup to recognize a hard disk for backup, and “Back up now” was selected from the Time Machine Dock icon, an error would report “No backup volume has been selected. To select a backup volume, open . . “ The Console log would report:
+Backup failed with error: 17+
But if Time Machine HAD BEEN setup to use a specific disk for backups, but if had lost its’ connection to the drive, it would report “The backup volume could not be mounted”. The Console log would say:
+FSMatchAliasBulk returned -35 while resolving alias to backup target+
+Backup failed with error: 19+
When you check the Time Machine preferences you may see the name of your backup disk greyed-out and a generic hard drive icon beside it. More than likely this means Time Machine has lost is physical connection to the drive. Either the drive is not plugged in, it’s not turned ON, the drives’ cable is bad, the drives internal controller has failed, or the drive has a sleep function that is preventing it from waking when a backup is called for.
*Airport Has Been Turned Off* (For Time Capsule / AirDisk Users) #
Look and the Airport menu at the top of the screen. Does it no longer display the radiating bands of wireless signal strength? The Airport has been turned off on this computer.
Go to System Preferences.
Select Network.
Click “Turn Airport On”
Now try backing up.
*File Sharing Has Been Disabled* (For Time Capsule / AirDisk Users) #
Launch Airport Utility.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Disks" in the tool bar at top of window.
Click "File Sharing".
Verify that "Enable file sharing" is checked.
If not, check it, click “Update”.
Once the Time Capsule has finished restarting, close Airport Utility and try backing up again.
*Password Has Changed/Become Corrupted* (For Time Capsule / AirDisk Users) #
[Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later: Time Machine - "Backup volume could not be mounted" after changing network volume's password]
*Proper Computer Name* #
Make sure your computer has a proper name. Go to System Preferences --> Sharing. Time Machine needs to differentiate your computer from others on your network (i.e. "Bills MacBook" or "Office iMac"). If the "Computer Name" field is blank, create a name. Realize that if this step is necessary, you will likely have to start the Time Machine backup process over again and do another full initial backup.
According to THIS article [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1760], Time Machine may experience problems if your computer name includes certain characters. Make sure the computer name only includes ASCII characters from the following set.
(0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
Once a change in the computer name occurs, you should stop and restart Sharing on the affected computer. Uncheck and then recheck Sharing in the Services list on the left.
Also, if the name of your backup devise contains any special characters (like an apostrophe) consider removing them and trying a backup again.
Let is know if any of the ideas above helped.
Cheers!

The height of mx:RichTextEditor in VDividedBox cannot be reduced to less than 200.

I'm using <mx:VDividedBox >, in which there are a mx:RichTextEditor and mx:Image, as in the code below.

Message type PRCMAS cannot be reduced

Hi friends,
Our company are running on multiple sap systems and now we want to process profit center master data on a single sap system and pass the data over to the other sap systems. I've found the standard message type PRCMAS which can realize profit center master data synchronization. But the issue is our controlling area is different between those SAP systems.
client
controlling area
100
1000
200
2000
300
3000
So, i must create a new reduced message type copy from PRCMAS. But the system pop-up a message:
Message type PRCMAS cannot be reduced
Message no. B1144
Diagnosis
There are different message types for different applications in the R/3 System. However, reduction is not possible for all message types depending on their business function and technical aspects.
Procedure
Please choose a message type that allows reduction
What should i do? I only want to set the conversion rule for the message type PRCMAS to set the controlling area as constant and assign to different client. But unfortunately, i cannot go ahead.
If someone could help me!
Thanks in advance
Jessie

Field Length Cannot Be Reduced UDF

I have a problem where i accidentally updated the Alphanumeric UDF to 100 and now i want to reduce its size and it prompts me with an error saying "Field Length Cannot Be Reduced". Any way to fix this?

Hi David,
You will not be able to Reduce Length of UDF once Created.
This is Standard System Behavior.
If its your requirement then Delete existing UDF and then Create again same UDF name with less Length.
Hope this help

Can anyone help with a volume cannot be found message?

I would like to open backed up files (on an external drive) on a MacBook. The files were saved from a MacBook Pro. I get the message, "The volume cannot be found." Most folders appear to have a little black curved upward arrow in the lower left corner. What does this mean?
Thank you.

Ah, split layers, a fabulously useful, often overlooked, elegantly simple solution to so many seemingly impossible challenges.
I remember when you had to do that manually.
ONe thing to keep in mind on this project, if you change the audio that feeds the meter the settings at the split will need to be changed. Later, as your experience with After Effects grows, you will be able to figure out how to do this using an expression and a parenting setup so the information at the frame where the split occurs is passed up the line.

Iphoto 09 v 8.0 "volume cannot be found, iphoto 09 v 8.0 "volume cannot be found"

Many photos have the error "volume for ....jpg cannot be found" I have found in the forum that is is caused by my mistake in the adv. pref. of not checking to copy items into the iphoto library. I have now corrected this, and new photos added are now in the Library.
So....my problem is- how can I get access to my ...ohsomany....photos that won't open because of the error. I have tried to back up the Events , Photos within iPhoto, but can't, because of the error....and, since they aren't in the Library, can't do it that way.
This problem is happening on my older Mac- a PowerPC G4. My OS is X.5.8
Thanks so much for help
Pam

If my pix that have the error "volume cannot be found" aren't in the Library, what good would it be to run a Library Manager?
IPLM will run against your bad library and create a new one leaving the bad one untouched so you can go into it for anything you need later - it will give an error on each missing photo in the error log (but you do not have to approve each one)
SO your new library has only available photos in it
If the photos have been deleted then reovery software like File Salvage run against the drive they are on may find them - the free trial will tell you what can be found - you have to purchase to actually recover photos
ALSO- Please tell me how I can stay checked into the forum
I do not believe that this is possible due to the (IMHO) very poor choice that aapple made for the software that drives this forum - I too find this and many other issues with the softwwre very frustration

10.4.6 and Active Directory Problem - Volume cannot be found??

I have bound six 10.4.6 to active directory. All went sweet with no problems. I have "force local home folder" off in Directory Access for AD. I can login to the Mac no problem using any user account from AD. If I login with a user the first time all goes well. The desktop icons show and the home directory is that of the users network home folder and can browse it. All good until I log out and login again. I get the desktop icons but the users home directory give the error "The Volume for %username% Cannot be found" when trying to access. I can browse the network to the user home folder without having to authenticate. The server (2003) shows no login errors, all looks fine. I have upgraded one Mac to 10.4.7 but made no differnce.
I have installed "services for Mac and Appletalk" on the server but from what I have been told this shouldn't need to be installed but I did as I was getting no where anyway.
Any ideas?
PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Chris!
Before I comment, I want to define a couple of things. A "Mac home folder" stores a user's files (Documents, Library, etc.). This home folder can be stored locally on the workstation or it can be stored on a server. A "Windows home folder" is defined in a user's Active Directory account and can be used as the Mac home folder or simply as a network user folder for storage.
While the idea of a network-based Mac home folder is nice, it can be clunky simply because the entire user experience is dependent on network speed and/or good file synchronization between your server and workstation. As someone who works in a group supporting about 300 Macs, I suggest enabling local home folders and not using a network-based Mac home folder.
Next, File Services for Macintosh (AFP protocol) built into Windows Server will not support network-based Mac home folders. This is a dead end. You can install a third party product from Group Logic called ExtremeZ-IP, which does support network-based home folders over AFP.
Therefore, what's happening in your network is that the network-based Mac home folders are being mounted via the SMB protocol, which uses Windows style file sharing. SMB in Mac OS X is good for limited use but I wouldn't recommend it for extensive use, which would include network-based Mac home folders.
Here's what I suggest for your AD settings: 1.) Enable local home folders. 2.) Connect via SMB. This will keep your users' Mac home folders local to the machine but if their Windows network home folder is properly defined in their AD account settings then these should automatically mount on the Desktop via SMB at login.
If you can get your Windows home folders to mount automtically on the users' Desktops then you can experiment with synchronization. After logging in, each user can visit Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Accounts and the synchronization options will be available. A user can synchronize all or part of his local Mac home folder to his mounted Windows home folder.
Hope this helps! bill

Mcintosh HD Volume cannot receive Safari 1.2

"You cannot install Safari 1.2 on this volume. This system cannot use this software." The message is clear enough, but there is no hint as to why I can't install the new version or how I might go about addressing that issue. There are 213 GB free on the volume.
Susan

Susan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to install Safari 2.0.
Follow the procedures listed in Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4 to install Safari 2.0, and then download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC), or Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) if you have an Intel iMac. That will update your Safari to 2.0.4.

Hard disk1 password option unvisible on several X240 an cannot be set

Hello,
we got a delivery of 15 X240 laptops this week.
Unfortunately we cannot set the hard disk1 password in the BIOS.
This option ist completely unvisible in the BIOS. We can set supervisor, power-on, ... but not hard disk1 password.
Any idea?
The laptops come with BIOS 2.12. We already tried the latest 2.17, but unfortunately with no effect.
Two weeks ago we received another two X240 of the same type and visible hard disk1 password option in BIOS.
Type: 20AL0076GE
Thank you for your help.

HT1222 itunes volume vs. direct play volume is dramatically reduced, what has happened??? Please help!

Playing music through itunes has always reduced the sound slightly, but since the last update the sound is less than 1/10 of normal sound and slightly distorted. Full volume though itunes is like 1/10 of the volume playing the same track through the finder window directly. WHat is going on??!! Please help!! Cant deal with bad sound! Living ****...

Unchecked all to try but it made very minimal change. All volumes are on full - itunes, computer, and my amp is turned up twice as high as normal. Sound is so weak but when I play the same trak through finder with same settings it blares out clear and super loud I have to turn it down... Can only be the software i think... Who knows?

Error in Process u2013 PO cannot be reduced to the value already invoiced.

Hi,
i need some idea abt this.
the requirement is provide an error message when ordered qty and price is lower than invoiced qty and price and PO cannot be changed.
A New RFC is required to fetch the values of Invoiced Quantity and Invoiced Amount taking Purchase Order Number as input. In order to make it simpler, make use of logic available in FMu2019s BBP_PO_GETDETAIL and BBP_PO_GETITEMS else use the same FM inside the RFC.
At first, check whether the PO is a Service or Goods PO. Call the RFC inside the BAdi at PO level and pass the PO Number. The RFC will then return you with Invoiced Quantity and Invoiced Amount.
Validate this Invoiced Qty and Amt with current values user has entered. If ordered qty and amt is lower than invoiced qty and amt, error should be created and PO cannot be changed.
Can anyone suggest how i should approach regarding this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi ,
Find out exact user-exit or BADI for the solution.
Thanks,
Archana.

Disk Utility - New Bundled SparseDisk volumes cannot change view

Running SL 10.6.1 on a early 2009 Mini.
Through Disk Utility, I created a new Sparse Bundled Disk Image with 256bit encryption. That is no problem, except I cannot customize the view of the mounted image. The default is icon view, with no toolbar at the top of the window. I want to have the regular array of toolbar icons at the top of the image and view it in column mode, but when I manually change this, it doesn't apply to the mounted disk image window.
Older disk images I created in other OS versions mount and display just fine, but I cannot figure out why this is a problem in SL.
Any thoughts or fix suggestions? Greatly appreciated!
