• Baffling problem with Acrobat Javascript

  I hope someone can help me. I tried for hours and hours to find what boredom is but just can not find a solution.

  The following code works, however, this is the confusing part. I need to change / update the code, but the problem occurs when I make changes to the code - indenting of a line. You will notice that the code is not indented and poorly formatted - it is because when I had the code in withdrawal, I had several times a "{SyntaxError: missing} in a compound statement.

  I'm completely baffled as to why, sometimes, I get the SyntaxError and sometimes not. I swear there are cases where the code has worked once and then again causes a SyntaxError.

  Tried to use Adobe Javascript Debugger, tried running the code through jslint.com, tried to create a new PDF file and place this code in this file - still getting SyntaxError if I change or indent the code. The only thing I have not tried yet is to try it on the version of Windows.

  I use Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 (cloud Creative) on a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

  Any help would be really appreciated!

  I had no problem on 3 different versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Windows. So, I guess that the problem lies in Acrobat Pro for Mac. We have already decided to take Acrobat Pro for Mac and set up a virtual machine with Windows and change our PDFs by script in this way - at least until what Adobe fixes issues with their Mac version - it never occurred to me that it would be a problem for Mac version. I guess I'll be much more cautious in the future. Thanks George to confirm he worked in Acrobat 9!

• Baffled: Remote Site is does not display pages, no update of the site?

  I'm totally baffled by Dreamweaver for a few days now. I can have a button somewhere, but here's what seems to happen:

  My site is online and all pages work online, but out of 1200 pages or if Dreamweaver only 80-90 pages on the server seesn remote. I did a "refresh all folders" on the server remote, all the image files are there, but I only see the same 80-90 html pages. There should be more than 1200 pages.

  I also looked on the site and created a new site and the folder. Same question.

  I checked the local site, everything is there, and Dreamweaver can clearly see all the.

  If I do a page edit and upload to the server, the change appears not live on the site

  BUT if I make a change to a page, it does not appear on the server. I have to go find the page on the remote server, and then download the remote page using DW, what changes is displayed correctly. But this is not live on the website.

  Everything is just too fast, usually when I download a page of 100K, it takes a second or two as DW did his thing FTP. Now it flashes only files to download for a nanosecond, I know DW says its download, but is apparently not.

  Or something on the side server is a problem, I can understand someday, but I'm now on day 3 with this question.

• Anyone else completely baffled by the invisible icon of the 'pocket '?

  Just updated to 38.0.5. On handheld, but the icon is not found. I tried to customize, no icon. Bookmarks has 'Pocket display list', but I can never add anything to the list, because there is the icon or the action to do!

  Disabled modules one by one, no joy.

  Now, it seems as if is WAS my theme, Red Cats (blue). When I switch to the default theme, the Pocket icon is there. When I use my theme and the mouse on the space just to the right of the search box, I get a pop-up message 'Save to Pocket' text, but clicking on it does nothing.

• Pavilion Notebook 15-ab010nr: chaotic random scrolling and active window change - baffled!

  All was well with my Pavilion laptop until one day he began to suffer from a strange video behavior.  While in an active window, suddenly the screen would be automatically scroll upwards or downwards, or in part.  I would scroll to where I was, but then it would scroll away again without my touch.  With a window with no scroll, he would sometimes just change the active window.  So I could be typing and then all of a sudden I'm on another window.  At some point I just watched in disbelief as demonstrated by the receipt of a screenshot screen, then a selection of menu of Outlook and a new email has been selected.  I waited to be typed in the destination address, thinking that someone had control of my laptop, but it stopped there... nothing else was done (thankfully).

  I thought I was suffering from a particular virus, so I searched online to see if everyone was suffering similar symptoms. Nothing.  My antivirus program had not taken anything (Avast!). I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran it... Nothing found.  I applied a bunch of Windows system updates and rebooted... problem still not fixed.

  Then I've reconsidered and suspect somehow my computer has been compromised and a hacker was "playing" with my computer remotely (though the behavior seemed a little too random).  I have disabled Internet access and it still preserved.  I had a mouse external USB installed, so I unplugged which just in case where--no difference.  I thought that perhaps the touchpad was of certain films or light debris on the surface, so I cleaned it... no change.

  I had never experienced this before.  And I couldn't find any recent references to anyone else knows this.  My computer to develop a particular hardware defect?  Still under warranty, but I didn't want to go through this hassle.

  "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

  I hope that I speak not too fast, but I can have solved the problem.

  I went into the settings advanced for mouse control properties and made a few changes:

  (1) click order/settings (the Panel--> mouse), then to finger several gestures and look disabled options 3 and 4 finger (as I don't need them)

  (2) in Windows 8 tiles devices--> mouse and touchpad and change the settings of PC--> PC, I increase the interval of LONG.

  So far, after two full days, not more random behavior of mouse pointer.

• Yet another baffling memory problem

  I have a P-6 2120 with the card mother AAHD2-HY (Holly2). I'm having a problem getting it is memory to run in Dual channel mode... I bought a stick of memory Kingston KTH9600C / 4G hoping it would correspond to the HP655410-150-HYCG... Well still wouldn't go in Dual mode (according to CPU - Z). So I bought another stick of KTH9600C / 4g... .but no still no dual mode.  and to make things worst CPU - Z wrote a module is kingston and the other memory elpida with a different model number. I did some research and Kingston don't (don't) use elpida chips in their memory. What's new... I have now 3 4 sticks of memory of Kingston and no combination will run in Dual mode. Am I missing something in the bios or should it start just when they harmonize perfectly. Thanks in advance

  Hi supernukes,

  You certainly did your research and did a good job, the RAM you bought meets all requirements of the motherboard. I think you could look at modifying the Bios to change the settings manually. I found information about an Intel Web page that says:

  "How Intel XMP works

  Pre-built and tested Intel XMP profiles can be loaded via the BIOS or an application specific setting with an operating system. Often the best way to load Intel XMP profiles uses a Setup utility, which may be available depending on the particular board manufacturer. To find out if a Setup utility is available on your system, you should contact the Board manufacturer. »

  Intel® extreme memory profile

  I also found RAM that offers only Jedec sync settings,

  • DDR3-1866 CL11-11-11 @1 .5V
  • DDR3-1600 CL10-10-10 @1 .5V
  • DDR3-1333 CL8-8-8 @1.5

  The details of the Ram are as follows,

  KHX1866C11S3P1K2 / 8G
  8GB (4 GB 512 M x 64 bit x 2 pcs.)

  You asked how you would know, good question! The trick is to look at more than just the features of HP and the motherboard. Looking at the specifications of the RAM, you can learn more about the calendar and compatibility! Upgrading Ram is not always an easy task!

  Hope this helps,

• Acer XB270HU ULMB problem with my screen, or maybe drivers? Baffled

  Greetings!  I bought this XB270HU this month and I love it.  It seems that G-Sync works like a charm, and this 144 Hz refresh rate is wonderful.  There is some bleed slightly at the top left which can be seen with black bars around some videos, but never in the videos themselves.  Considering that it is the only way he can be spotted, I thought I finally found a BIG screen.  My old one was a Dell S2440L, who had an exceptional contrast and zero bleeding, but had problems massive overdrive.

  While everything happens very, I chose to use ULMB sparingly because it bothered my eyes the first time I tried it, although the screen visibly drive doesn't bother me.  For the record, this monitor is the one that supports ULMB at 120 Hz and if you try to activate at 144 Hz, the monitor starts flashing a message saying it cannot be used to 85 100 and 120 Hz.  Thus, it * is * working at 120 Hz.  I'm sure I can have used experience of nvidia GeForce update graphics drivers at least twice by habit, and Windows Update installed a XB270HU driver as well.  Recently, I went to turn on ULMB at 120 Hz for use with a movie and was shocked to see that the screen got * best * instead of gradation.  I chose 85 and 100 Hz to see, and it lit up as well, for the same settings.  I don't really understand what happened, but it feels as if its not even using ULMB.  Since it worked well and all of a sudden is not, is it a driver problem to an update or something go haywire inside the screen?  I've never fiddled with something other than the brightness levels.  I have the 144 Hz Gsync mode at 50% brightness instead of the 36 percent that I had it before and when I turn ULMB 30% brightness, it seems much brighter than it does now.  I find it incredibly strange and hoped someone could we help with that or help me fix.

• printer is offline but but does not print completely baffled!

  Completely stumped with this. I have a brother MFP990 all in a station. It is connected wireless to my network. I have a laptop computer connected wireless network and it prints fine. My desktop computer, but does not print even if it seems to recognize that it is there. The printer is communicating with my computer and let me know the ink level is low. My scanner works perfectly and scans the computer, no problem. But whenever I try to print, the computer tells me that the printer is offline. I tried to disable Norton firewall, no difference. I tried to uninstall the software, and oddly enough, during the uninstall process, an exceptional print request was printed! When I reinstalled, same problem. Any ideas?

• The formidable problem of Connectivity Bluetooth in Windows Vista continues to baffle. Here's my story and the cry for help!

  System:

  Dell XPS M1530 - Windows Vista HP SP1

  Device Manager:

  Bluetooth radios
  -Dell Truemobile 355 Bluetooth + EDR (driver 6.0.6001.18064, 21.06.2006)

  Other devices

  Additional information:

  There are NO NOKIA SOFTWARE currently INSTALLED.  I had the version more up-to-date of Nokia PC Suite installed earlier today, but I uninstalled it to rule out it as the cause of the problem.

  Objective:

  To be able to connect my phone Nokia E50 in my XPS and synchronize etc...  It's a thing that I was able to do in the past (not sure how long ago), but now I'm having these problems.

  Problem:

  When I turn on my Bluetooth connection it starts to search for drivers of devices at random (see above).  He is unable to find the drivers for them and Windows problem reports & Solutions (WPRS) says that there is a problem with my Nokia cell phone.  However, as above, I uninstalled Nokia PC Suite and Nokia ALL entries from the list of programs in the control panel.

  I'm also be prompted by WPRS to consult the Broadcom website for driver updated also, but surprise surprise their Bluetooth software upgrades are not available now.

  I spent almost 3 hours to try to rectify this problem until today and I have tried at least four different solutions of various Web site, including this one.  From what I've read, it's an extremely widespread problem that seems to have no infallible solution, which is a bit ridiculous because it is only a problem of Bluetooth connection!

  So my questions are:

  1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?
  2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?
  3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

  I suspect that it is a problem of Microsoft or Dell but don't seem to be able to solve.  All my drivers in Device Manager are up to date (at least I said that when I try to update, although I'd like to think that there has been updates since 2006?) so unless there is some hidden updates on the wwweb somewhere that I can't find so I'm puzzled.

  I know that people are probably sick of hearing about this problem, but it has not disappeared, so he needs to take care.

  Thank you for reading!  Signing the Ireland...

  Hello, Ronan,.

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  I would like to respond to three questions of your message:

  1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?

  It is possible that your software Nokia my not completely uninstalled. There may be services or registry information left behind. You can download the following utility and uninstall completely.

  Download the Windows Installer CleanUp tool to uninstall any remaining Nokia information.

  Installation of the Windows Installer CleanUp tool:

  Find the tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

  When you install the tool, you must be logged on as administrator of the machine.

  After you download the ms1cuu2.exe on your desktop, you will need to right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator" and you will need run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the start menu. It will be under programs and will be called "Windows Installer Clean Up.

  2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?

  Because Dell uses Broadcom, more than likely, you will be redirected there after installed Dell printer the standard utilities trying to solve this error message Bluetooth that happens.

  3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

  After you uninstall the Nokia Software completely, see if that solves the problem of device.

  I would also recommend, contact your provider of cellular service to support more.

• Baffled by the problem of Vista activation - no telephone activation option.

  Hi, thought I would come here and pick some brains.  I have a machine in front of me running Vista Home Premium SP1.  It is a Packard Bell PC with a motherboard failed. These cards do not have PB, so I had to buy another kind, and which triggered the activation request.

  So, I ran the Vista product recovery CD after I put the new Board in, and loaded it up.  I had pretty much finished machine yesterday and this morning I got an activation error.  No problem, I thought, but I can't activate the key because it is preinstalled.

  So my problem is this: when I activate the product, I can't activate it online, there is an error.  However, normally there is an option to activate in other ways, such as by telephone.  On this version of Vista, however, this option is missing.

  Can anyone suggest how I can get the phone activation option can I revalidate the license?  I tried everything I know.

  Thanks in advance

  I don't know if you'll be able to activate the license because the recovery CD was for the original motherboard, but:

• The upgrade GPU and PSU for Optiplex 9020, baffled by connector 8 pins. !!!

  I recently acquired a brand new 9020, was surprised by the performance and was eagerly expected put in my old Redeon HD 5770. However, I was faced with the question of the connectors on the motherbioard is unfamiliar and non-standard. My old SPU 650w had a 4 pins of connector 8 pin, just like your stupid mothers, but they don't reach. The expected 20 "-24"-pin connectors were nowhere to be seen, so I couldn't use these either. " I just talk about an oversight and that my diet Huntkey Titan 650 has simply need an extension lead to join the mother socket, or I'm screwed? The PC was bought for me by my University, and I didn't have the choice of the plug.

  Dell isn't the only one to do that.  HP also does.  Its likely a response to the power supplies being exchanged with units of counterfeits.

• 9300 user - set up email - blackBerry Smartphones baffled - incorrect password error

  I hope someone here can shed some light ofn this because I spent 3 weeks trying to solve and I'm still stuck after literally hours on the phone to the network provider and explore every possible potential cause.

  About three weeks ago, I upgraded my Curve 9300 BB at 9380.  I copied settings using desktop software preconfigured and transferred to my new camera.  Applications reinstalled fine and I put five e-mail accounts, including 3 (business email) offered in a hosting account with Media Temple.  These all work very well and still do.

  My old phone had to be given to a colleague, so I reset the device and set all settings at default and follow the procedure for a new SIM card.  When we tried to put in place the enamel on the old device (9300) wouldn't giving the error message Impossible to verify the account contact email provider.  I am the administrator of the e-mail accounts so I know that the settings are correct., network provider resets all settings for email etc and account details BIS etc are all correct.  The e-mail account works through outlook and is accessible via webmail, and we tried changing password and even deleted and created a new e-mail account, but always the same problem - error message telling the user or incorrect password.

  I hope that it was a problem with the settings of the old appliance (9300) we could identify and address but it seems not to be that now when I try to put in place a new e-mail account on my new camera (9380) I get the same problem!  User password error - when data are 100% correct and on a device that I have successfully implemented the same type of email account!

  I'm completely puzzled and if anyone has or knows a similar problem and has information about this, or has managed to solve, I would like to hear that I've explored everything I can think of network hosts and email.

  You must call your provider to find out if the 9300 is properly registered on their network and on behalf of SIM card in the device. They need to confirm the good BlackBerry data Plan on this account, it is not unusual for them wrongly not do or provide incorrect data plan.

• Simple problem - HP 4 technicians - baffled very disappointed

  I have a laptop DV9500. It has a bilingual keyboard. Pressing function + home does not give me "printscreen" as indicated on the keyboard.

  I tried many languages of entry selected from several versions of Windows, and the print screen function will not work.

  To see a photo of the keyboard (I found the image on google): click here

  The laptop is fine. The keyboard is fine. I tested the two completely.

  What is not fine is no HP has a solution to this fundamental problem. They transferred me 5 times today, sometimes up to the assumption of level 2 and then come back. I had this problem since day 1 and I continued to call and call and nobody had ever a solution. Finally after the call once a month to see that if a solution was available, my warranty missed and no past level 1 talk to me. This deserves some attention more.

  Here are a few possible solutions:

  (1) one must 'stick' after pressng printscreen.

  I know how to use this feature.

  (2) your button is broken.

  The standard function of the button is fine. The function key is fine. The two handset is not very well. It seems unlikely that the button is just half broken.

  (3) restart, entry to remove from other languages, etc.

  I did the next best thing. I formatted several times with multiple operating systems.

  (4) try a new keyboard.

  I did not yet because if I buy a new one on ebay, and the same problem happens again, now I have the money wasted, but I will try to use the keyboard to someone else to see what is happening, but I doubt that the keyboard is very broken highy. Printscreen works with a keyboard USB (duhh).

  (5) your motherboard is broken.

  No, it's not, I tried two motherboards. The same problem.

  (6) uninstall the keyboard driver.

  Been there, tried.

  (7) try and see what happens.

  Here is a list of some of the input languages that I have tried:

  English (Canada) - U.S.

  English (Canada) - Canadian French

  English (Canada) - Canadian multilingual Standard

  English (United States)-U.S.

  English (United States)-United States-International

  (8) antivirus, spyware, etc.

  This is not it.

  At this point I'm transferred once again, perhaps to support level 2, perhaps to another guy in India, and the same thing happens again. I'm pretty resolved that HP has designed a product that does not, does not and will not work as advertised.

  Either way, blue french characters also do not work properly. Selecting a layout in french and using the different shortcuts to activate the "weird" symbols don't work. A lot of research on google and forum navigates more later gave no solution either. What happens here?

  Message edited by NArkshaRK on 05/09/2009 18:10

  I solved this problem. HP installed incorrect keyboards on this range of notebooks. Some of the buttons are labeled incorrectly.

  Regarding the printscreen, it is hidden under the insert/scroll button. I found this by using battlefield game. I went to the controls set up and pressed every button and copied what the game says was pressed.
