X6450/x6250 IPMI SOL not working

Hi,
I had a few X6250 about 4 months ago for Try&Buy and SOL over IPMI was working great on them.
I just got a complete new set of 4 X6250 and X6450 and been have SOL problems from day one.
Basically, i can work with IPMI no problem, but SOL just don't work.
so any other command using ipmitool is working (power, sel, etc..) but when running SOL :
(x6450)
ipmitool -I lan -H <some ip> -U root -P password -Ilanplus sol activate
Info: SOL payload disabled
(x6250)
ipmitool -I lan -H <some ip> -U root -P password -Ilanplus sol activate
Error: Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session
Error: No response activating SOL payload
I've tried freeipmi with debug:
ipmiconsole -W authcap --debug -h sunblade5elom -u admin -p password
(last few lines of the debug):

and I know the password is correct!!!
anyone?

ELOM Service Processor software had support for SOL. ILOM SP software currently doesnt appear to.
So suspect your try&buy blades had ELOM, and your new blades have ILOM?
Future releases of SP software for the x6250 & x6450 will be ILOM only - theres probably an RFE to include SOL in ILOM, and that might happen in the future, but if you absolutely must have it now, you could downgrade to ELOM:

  • HT201263 I just bought this iphone not even a month ago. It will not work unless it is plugged into the wall. It will not turn on plugged into a computer. Am I SOL? I do not have insurance.

    You do not have insurance.
    You do have a one year warranty on workmanship and materials.
    Call Apple and set up an appointment to have them look at it.
    They should fix it ot replace it for you.

  • Temporarily freezing audigy 2 and firewire not working - sol

    hi,
    i had two problems with my audigy 2 using windows xp:
    a) my firewire port didnt appear to work. i had only one device using firewire which was my creative jukebox zen. i could only transfer 95% of the first mp3 and then it would say that my mp3 player is not responding.
    b) i experienced random and temporary freezes, not only while gaming but even when writing e-mails. everything would hang for a few seconds and then continue to work like if you write text it will appear after the hang.
    firewire: i used my audigy 2 in my old pc with windows me and win 2000 without any problems. neither with firewire nor with the eax4 driver patch. under win xp i could only transfer mp3s via usb and that is slow as hell as you can imagine. i first tried if transfers using the firewire port on my mobo worked but it didnt, same prob. i found a fix from microsoft that is not listed in windowsupdate at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en (KB885222). that did not solve this issue but maybe you need that too so I mention it here. then i found some new drivers on the creative site. "oh you fool, why didnt you say earlier that you're using old drivers?" someone might say but these drivers dont work or more specifically, its setup routine sux. it quits with "an error occurred". wow cool... but it appears as it unpacks the driver to c:\program files\creative\jukebox3 or something (note, i have a zen and not a jb3...) so I uninstalled everything, rebooted and told the device manager manually to get the drivers from that location. now it works.
    freezes: it took me many, many hours to search the internet, but i found absolutely nothing. sure i'm using the latest drivers (yea they actually work), put the card in slot3 and stuff. then i found a post on this board that mentioned that this guy's audigy had a heat problem. it became too hot and hung. hmm. i have 2x 2cm fans sucking heat out of the box through the radiator of my water cooling so heat is actually mostly get rid of through water and whatever else produces heat (harddisc, video card ram etc) is cooled by some really strong air flow. so wth, this card has worked for almost 2 years in my old box. so i opened the case and saw that air circulation around the audigy was impossible as its sandwitched by two other cards. those parts that i was able to touch were not that hot but i dont know how hot the main chip became and i have no clue why a sound card can become too hot from playing an mp3... anyway, i have left my case open and since then i havent had any freezes. now i also know why the freezes suddenly appeared and not since after i setup my box 3 months ago: it was open until i had cut a hole for the radiator...
    oh yea, its good that my expensi've creative stuff works and that it was not creative's fault but that of a moron of a user. now honestly, how is an average user supposed to get their product working when the knowledge base is totally outdated and gives advice such as "update your bios, get the latest drivers and dont put your card into the microwave", when mods in this forum give advice like the knowledge base and the driver is not even installable? creative products are not bad at all, they're not cheap at all too. but the support page is absolutely not informati've and the knowledgebase does not give solutions to known issues. i was never ever able to find anything useful there and i'm really really not an average user but a very experienced one. not everyone wants to use a pre-installed dell box with el-cheapo components. i like to put my own high-end rig together and things must be pushed to the limit BUT still be absolutely rock solid. let me list my recent experience with creative products during the past 2 years:
    -) bought an inspire 6. surround system and even replaced my audigy with version 2 for it. but unfortunately the subwoofer had a problem. it randomly made a popping noise which was so loud that it pushed your adrenaline level to that of a base jumper. i then found out that the whole batch had some faulty component. at least i got a replacement within a week, so i thought "yea, great support".
    -) bought a jukebox zen, 20gb with firewire. it worked great for almost a year. then it died. when i switched it on, only the creative logo appeared, thats it. recovery mode was inaccessible too. it took me 2 months to convince the support lady to let me return this junk. first they sent me a new adapter because maybe it was damaged and the battery was low and therefore it didnt work anymore... then i was told, ok you can have a new one but we dont have firewire versions in stock anymore. you can have a usb one now or you wait until we get the firewire zen again. i said wtf, you produce this so why dont you have them in stock? and the usb version is sure not an equivalent to my firewire player. woot after 2 months i got a new mp3 player... had to rip 250 cds again (i really prefer having originals) and copy them to the player, but ok, i'm happy again. no, i'm not. this one doesnt work properly either. everytime i dont use the player for more than 24 hours i have to rebuild the database and scan the harddisc. that takes about 0 minutes for like 3000 songs!! grr... but i didnt want to argue with the tech support about that, i can li've with that. maybe i can flash to an older bios if i find one somewhere. from what i read somewhere it is caused by the zen going from hibernate into "off power" mode and then it forgets a few things.
    and now i had the two issues described above and had to find a solution myself because the support pages dont help at all. sure you can say i should have thought of a heat problem but all important components are watercooled (even the north bridge) and i had some good airflow in general, but not around the sound card. and who knows that the audigy is that sensiti've to heat and that a sound card even gets hot at all. i've never heard of sound card cooling... i'm not that disappointed about the quality of the hardware because it is ok imo, but with the horrible lack of quality of the support and the buggy driver installation. hey, you get free advice by your customers, think about that. they tell you by themselves what the problem is and what they think may cause it. sure many posts are just flames but you should take ppl here more seriously. and if other manufacturers are to blame then put a list together like: msi k8n neo2 platinum - in this case upgrade to bios .2 or in that case install this or turn on/off that.
    alright, i hope anyone can use this information. sorry for the length but i wanted to describe things as precisely as necessary. cheers from austria.

    Hi folks,?Initially my audigy 2 nx was not working. But after installing the drivers for vista it started to work. But unfortunately, the other application from creative media source is not working. When I press EAX it says '[color="#000099">the application with the device not found'. But the sound card is working fine.[color="#000099">?[color="#000099">I have even mailed creative with the details. They have sent me a mail with the drivers and an application driver. I have installed the application driver too, but still no luck.[color="#000099">?[color="#000099">Kind regards,[color="#000099">Jwell[color="#000099">?

  • USB/eSata express card not working on stock kernel

    Hello everyone,
    I have a weird problem and I don't seem to find any solution by myself. Let me give you some background info on what I plan to do.
    I purchased an express card to eSata/USB 3.0 adapter and want to make it work on my laptops. Precisely, it is this card: http://www.amazon.de/Notebook-Express-C … B007F8TXZ8
    1: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Ubuntu 14.04 amd64
    2: Lenovo X200s (1,6GHz) running Debian 7 amd64
    3: Lenovo X200T (1,6GHz) running ArchLinux amd64
    The card does work fine only on the Ubuntu machine. I would like to make it run on the two other ones as well. I thought I might get help here getting it to work on machine 3 and then transfer the results to machine 2. What really matters to me is eSata, btw, I do not even have a USB 3.0 device to test with.
    First of all, here's what happens when I plug the card into machine 1:

    Apart from the supposedly found block device (can't judge) I am not sure if there is anything that is really eSata specific and not USB 3.0 related.
    So far what I think I can tell from the output is that the modules
    pciehp pci pcieport
    seem to be dealing with the express card as such whereas
    xhci_hcd
    takes care of USB 3.0. I cannot see any clear reference to the eSata connector, which might not be surprising if the bus is just passed through (again: not sure).

    Sticking to my suspicion that this might just be a USB related issue and eSata might still work due to some sort of passthrough, I attached the very eSata drive that I could mount on Ubuntu. It did not work.
    I then researched and found this blog post: http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1360
    So I downloaded the pkgbuild for the arch linux core kernel and checked the config. It matched the recommendations.
    Another hint I found was to unload acpiphp and force-reload it. However, this tip does not seem to apply to the arch kernel:
    [user@3-arch:~$ sudo rmmod acpiphp
    rmmod: ERROR: Module acpiphp is builtin.
    Anyone any idea on how to make the card work?
    Thank you!

    For anyone else seeking help on that: Card slot was deactivated in 2/3 Bioses.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

    iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly.  I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library.  If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access.  I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4.  Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running.  I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions.  I update as warnings to do so come up.  The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share.  I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
    I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all.  I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine.  I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
    I can't be only one.  Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
    How many of you are having trouble?
    Any resolutions?
    How to report to Apple?
    How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

  • Auto Deploy and VCD Network Isolation - Not Working

    Hello,
    I have opened a support case about this issue, but the case is moving a lot slower than I would like to see. I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has ran into anything similar.
    We recently switched our 24-host vCloud cluster (more info about this cluster below) over to Auto-Deploy (was using boot from USB). After the switch, we had a few complaints from customers that use isolated networks. It turns out that only 4 of our 24 hosts were working properly with isolated networks. All 24-hosts are using the same auto-deploy image.
    When the hosts boot up, the vCloud Director web interface shows the following with green check marks: "Status", "Enabled", "Ready", "Available", and "VCD Network Isolation Capable".
    To get my other 20 hosts working, I disabled all 20 hosts in the vCloud interface, unprepared them, and prepared them. After this, network isolation worked for those 20 hosts. When I reboot one of the hosts, the host still looks like it's good in the interface, but network isolation doesn't work until I disable, unprepare, and prepare.
    Here is some more information about our environment:
    vCenter build 2001466
    ESXi Host Build 2702864
    VCD Build 5.5.2.2000523
    vShield Build 5.5.3
    Here is the Deploy Rule that the hosts are using:
    Name        : UCS-2.2.1-pcloud.5.5.aln
    PatternList : {oemstring=$SPT:ESX_PublicCloud_autod.2.2.x}
    ItemList    : {ESXi-5.5.0-autod-2.2.1.vshield}
    I have confirmed that this is indeed the profile being used by looking at the Summary tab for the hosts and seeing the listed Image Profile.
    And here is what's in that item:

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Right now, on my test host (that is not working), I have two VMs, one named "Test 1" and the other "Test 2" They only have an isolated network on them (named "Test Isolated Network") that is in my VDC, and pings do not work between them. If I move them to any other host (that have been unprepared and prepared), pings work. I can move both to the same host, or different hosts.
    Here is the fence info on this host, I'm not really sure how to interpret this:
    ~ # esxcli vcloud fence getfenceinfo

  • Aggregator V.5 self paced learning not working

    . I have 11 individual projects that I have combined into one aggregated file. When I run the aggregated file, the self-paced learning is not working correctly. Here is what I know:
    Captivate 5, WIN 7, Chrome browser. Clients choice of Captivate version.
    Client is not using a LMS
    All 11 projects have the “self-paced learning” checked in the TOC.
    I have published all 11 projects and they run fine. I can exit the browser while they are running and restart each project. The box displays, “Continue from where you stopped last time?” and I can either resume or start over.
    For each of the 11 projects, here are some settings:
    In >File>Publish settings>Project>Start end> Autoloader is checked
    In >File>Publish settings>Project>Start end> Autoplay is checked
    In >File>Publish> eLearning output=disabled
    In >File>Publish>ActionScript Version=AS3
    I have republished all individual projects, and also checking the “Force republish all the slides”.
    Cleared the browser cache
    All 11 individual projects (.swf and .html), the .js file as well as the aggregated file(s) (.swf and .html) are all located in the same folder on my hard drive. They are close to the top of the naming hierarchy.
    Client wants to be able to use self-paced learning  in the Aggregated files to allow the learner to resume where they left off as well as starting over. I start the aggregated file, let the slides run for a bit and then stop, exiting the browser. I return to the location on my hard drive and click the .html file name. I am returned to the aggregated file at the very beginning and not given the option to start where I left off. I have checked each of the projects persistanceInfo.sol. Among the oddball characters, the wording "don'task" appears, but I am not sure if some of the characters are indicative of the "Don't ask" box being checked or not. I have reviewed each of the projects in the aggregated file. On each and every occasion, when I close and reclick the link, I am presented with the dialog box asking if I want to continue where I left off. Clicking ok allows the project to resume where I left off. Clicking cancel restarts the project at the beginning.
    Additionally, I have made sure that the target file location is listed on the Global Flash Security settings as a trusted location.I have uploaded the files to a web server on our company site. Running the file from there provides no additional benefit-I get the same results.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks
    Jim

    All slides in the presentation are marked as continue.  I have gone
    through the first 5 slides and when I refresh the browser or exit out of
    Internet Explorer and open the project again it just starts at the
    beginning.

    working in Captivate 5
    Hello Brenda,
    How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
    You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
    only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
    pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
    Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
    this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

  • Video Stabilisation not working in 3rd Party Apps

    Hello,
    I did some searching but couldn't dig up an answer, and perhaps the answer lies in the hands of the developer.
    So yesterday I bought a Z1 Compact to do a very specific job. It's sole purpose is to be used as a dash-cam on my 2-wheeler and as such the contender for my choice had to be waterproof, have a full-hd or good quality camera, and have image stabilisation due to all the vibrations associated with this task and where it will be mounted.
    I'm using an app called VideoRegPro, within the app it says it supports video stabilisation, although it also says it may not work with some devices (presumably because IS is not available on all phones yet), however it makes no difference to the recording and IS seems to be off no matter what I select with this option.
    I've also tried using the following apps:
    AutoGuard Blackbox
    DailyRoads Voyager
    Kimgisa Black Box
    but all have the same issue even though the developer may state they support IS.
    I'm running 4.4.2, and the exact model number is: D5503
    I hope someone can help, as this is the last piece to the puzzle to get this all working.
    Thanks! 

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Provided the function works with the default application then unfortunately this would be down to the third party application developers to work in the compatibility sorry.

  • Cmd-TAB is not working in 10.9

    Hi,
    since Mavericks the application switcher is not working correct. When I switch to an other application using cmd-TAB the menue of the other application is shown, but no windows of this application will be shown. In older versions of OS X the app switching via cmd-TAB was no problem.
    Is ist possible to bring back the old behavior of the shortcut cmd-TAB?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin; clear; Fb='%s\n\t(%s)\n'; Fm='\n%s:\n\n%s\n'; Fr='\nRAM details:\n%s\n'; Fs='\n%s: %s\n'; Fu='user %s%%, system %s%%'; PB="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print"; A () { [[ a -eq 0 ]]; }; M () { find -L "$d" -type f | while read f; do file -b "$f" | egrep -q XML\|exec && echo $f; done; }; Pc () { o=`grep -v '^ *#' "$2"`; Pm "$1"; }; Pm () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=`sed '/^ *$/d; s/^ */   /' <<< "$o"` && printf "$Fm" "$1" "$o"; }; Pp () { o=`$PB "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'`; Pm "$1"; }; Ps () { o=`echo $o`; [[ !

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
    exec sh
    in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that takes administrator privileges.
    The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Tried Everything - Boot Camp will NOT work!

    Hello everyone, for about the past 7 days, I have tried installing boot camp on my macbook pro late 2011. My MBP Has an hdd in the optical drive bay, and a hybrid drive in the hdd bay. Recently, after the failure to install boot camp the first few times, I bought an enclosure for my optical drive. I have a copy of windows online in iso format, so everything should be working, but, it has not. I have tried using a bootable usb flash drive, with SEVERAL different ones, to no avail. I have made boot camp look as if I had a MBA, to no avail. I have burned a bootable iso to a blank cd, to no avail. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I have waited around 32 hours of work in 7 days to post onto this website, thinking I can do it myself, but  I simply cannot. When I did the bootable usb drive method, I got a please insert the bootable disk, and then press any key. And then when I did the bootable blank dvd with a bootable iso on it, all my mbp would do is blink that cursor thingy on the black screen. EVERY single usb drive was taken out for the computer. The only things plugged in were my charger, and the external optical drive bay. Please help me with any useful info, as it would help me so much.
    P.s. I have also used Wine/Crossover. I am ONLY doing this so I can game windows games on Steam. It is the sole and only reason for this venture. Crossover did not have enough support for the games I wanted to play, and would crash often, and Wine will not work with some of the newer games, with very little support/incentive from developers. Please if I have done something wrong by trying to use these, or maybe I'm just not using them right, please tell me.
    If anyone has any other solutions to windows games played on a mac through steam, please tell me, It would mean a lot.
    This has been a very frustarating adventure, and I really would love to get this resolved. Whoever gives the advice that ends up working, will get best answer. Thanks!

    If you had done any google searches for installing Windows on your model Mac computer you might of found out that Windows will ONLY INSTALL from the BUILT IN DVD drive when it is installed INSIDE the system. So since you have replaced that drive with a hard drive there is absolutely NO WAY to install Windows on your Mac. It will not install from a USB key, It will not install from an external DVD drive, it will not install from any other source other than the built in DVD drive when that drive is installed INSIDE the system.

  • Premiere Elements 13 Eyedropper for white balance, gray, and black NOT WORKING. Help!

    I'm using Premiere Elements 13.1 on an iMac, and trying to adjust the white balance on a clip with ZERO success.  The main reason for this is that I cannot utilize the "eyedropper" selector; I know what should appear white, gray, and black, but cannot select those items.
    In the Three-Way Color Corrector there are Eyedroppers to use to specify areas of known color range. I have tried without success to select ANY of the eyedroppers...
    I have clicked on it - NOTHING
    I have held the left mouse on it and attempted to drag it onto the frame - NOTHING
    I have right-clicked it - NOTHING
    The eyedroppers are not greyed out and they do respond when clicked. I have hit Reset button galore. I have restarted the program.
    I have held my mouth funny - NOTHING :-)
    When my cursor is hovering over the tool, it changes to an eyedropper. If I click, nothing happens when the cursor is moved - the cursor changes right back into its regular arrow shape. The cursor does nothing to the image if an item is clicked....there is no change to anything on the monitor.
    I am a longtime Photoshop user but new to Premiere Elements. This dropper seems to work nothing like the PS ones. In fact, it doesn't work at all...so far.
    Can someone please tell me what I need to do to simply select the eyedropper and take it onto the image and select the white (or gray or black)??? Before I go bananas (may be too late)? THANK YOU!

    Still not working. I think the root cause of the problem is the mechanics of using the tool itself; I hope this screen shot shows up below ...
    Here I have APPLIED EFFECTS open, and have selected Midtones (Greys) to be expanded so that the eyedropper and other details appear:
    Now, just below where it has a box and "Impacted frame area in white" (which I know is a checkbox allowing the area effected to be seen), there is a little color box and an eyedropper.
    What EXACTLY do I do to select (activate) the eyedropper and subsequently tell the program what I feel should be grey in the selected clip?
    As mentioned before, I can click it and the cursor briefly changes to the same shape as the eyedropper. But as soon as I move the cursor a fraction, it changes back to an arrow (normal cursor) shape. Even then, going to the area I need to select in the image, and then clicking it, does exactly nothing to the appearance of the image shown -- even if the colors start way off. No correction at all. It is as if the tool does nothing. The color wheels below all this DO work however - it's just the eyedropper that doesn't do anything. This just cannot be Adobe's intention. I am convinced there must be some flaw in how I am selecting the tool itself. And the user guide - needless to say - is worthless in explaining the mechanics.
    So very frustrating. This appears to be the only thing wrong with the program - nothing else seems amiss.
    NOTE: To add insult to injury, this promised white/gray/black balance feature and the three-way-color corrector is the SOLE REASON I purchased the software. Funny.

  • Java Desktop Overview (jds-help) not working after upgrade to jdk6u1

    Hello,
    I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc on a Sun Blade. I just upgraded to jdk6u1 from jdk5. I installed all required j6 packages, and then installed patches for j6u1. Java seems to be working fine. I then used pkgrm to remove all jdk5-related packages (I searched for all packages starting with SUNWj5 and then removed them).
    Now, my Desktop Overview and other java-related help functions do not work. I get this error:
    # jds-help ghelp:jdsoverview
    ** (jdshelp:826): WARNING **: An exception occured 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0''
    Maybe I removed a j5 package I shouldn't have. Which j5 packages are related to the operation of jds-help? Any ideas as to what is causing my problem with jds-help?
    Thank you...

    Here is the error log:

  • Quickcam Web not working

    Hello together!
    Since qc-usb was replaced with gspca I have troubles with my Webcam. It's a Quickcam Web (more precisely: LEGO cam) 046d:0850 and it used to work with qc-usb. It's also listed as a supported one in the gspca files.
    It is correctly recognized when plugged in:
    usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
    usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

    When I try to cat from the video device I get this:
    cat: /dev/video: Input/output error
    dmesg now reports:
    gspca: usb_submit_urb alt 1 err -28
    gspca: no transfer endpoint found
    Other applications (mplayer, amsn, etc.) behave similar.
    My first tests on a 2.6.29 kernel months ago resulted in a Kernel Panic, with 2.6.32 it's not working "only"...
    Regards,
    Sven

    Thank you very much. Your link (and another google search which taught me about guvcview) helped me.
    After I unplugged my USB keyboard and mouse (two different devices) from my computer (no hub!) the cam started to work (note: I'm using a laptop). I'm very surprised by this behavior.
    Now I need to find a solution for this bandwidth problem, because without full keyboard and mouse chatting is not very comfortable (and that's the sole purpose of this cam)
    EDIT: Well... unplugging one of the two devices (keyboard, mouse) seems to be sufficient... perhaps I should learn to live without a real mouse (that's easier than without a real keyboard)
    Regards,
    Sven

  • Finder not working well-show folders empty

    Hi,
    for some times now I have problems with finder.
    First I thought it was a problem accessing the network but I also have the problem with the local folders!!
    After logging to my account, it works well for some times and then suddenly (may be after accessing machine on my network - Synology NAS) finder begin to show all folders as they are empty!!!
    The funny thing is that if for instance I do a "file/open" within an app or do an attachment and so access a "windows like finder" it works!!
    But if I use the finder ... folders are empty (shown as ...).
    The only thing to get everything back is to restart the computer (and many times I have to hard stop the machine as the finder is not working anymore and my mac mini don't want to restart. I keep the desktop background and nothing happened!!
    The strange thing is that it seems I don't have the problem on my MacBook Pro!!
    The mac mini was a clean install!
    So many problem with Yosemite!!!
    Ragards

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post."

  • Volume for bluetooth devices not working

    I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones and since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I have not been able to control the volume of them with the volume keys on the keyboard or the volume in the menu bar 99% of the time.  I have once gotten it to work and have no idea what I did for it to work.  If I take the volume all the way to 0, it does mute the audio and the mute key still works as well.
    Changing the volume manually in individual apps (such as with the slider in Spotify or in a youtube video) works but thats only when I use the mouse to move the volume slider.
    I've done some searching around and it seems like Yosemite has numerous Bluetooth issues... I even had the horrendous screeching noise in 10.10.2 but that seems to be fixed now.

    I cheated and installed Windows 7 RC. ^.^
    But something you can do is:
    Click on the Start menu
    In the search bar look up 'Services'
    Open up Services
    Double click 'Bluetooth Services'
    In the 'Log On' tab check to see if 'Local Service' or 'Use This Account' is highlighted
    If 'Local Service' is selected then you're SOL and you're best bet is to re-install Windows. That's what was selected on mine and no matter what Account I set it to Bluetooth would not work. I even tried re-installing the Apple drivers from the OS X disc.
    But if 'Use This Account' is selected than I would look into the normal Bluetooth settings, as the problem is most likely there. You can also call MS and have them screen share with you, the guy I talked to said if 'Use This Account' was selected he could do more for me.
    Anyways hope this helped a bit.
