error on line 12: can’t record invalid transaction in QuickBooks

Posted by admin | Computer/Security,HTML Code , tips or suggestions | Thursday 10 May 2012 10:59 am

Have quick books 2010 and 2011 and getting error 12 cant record invalid transaction during and import into QB.

here is the fix all…and its QB having a brain [removed]….primarely because the error gives no indication on the problem or how to fix it. Kind of taking over from Microsoft left off lol

fix-

. The invoice would not import because the account name in the iff file was Accounts Receivable and the chart of accounts in QB has Accounts Receivable (A/R). I added a new account: Accounts Receivable and it imported with no problem.

User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded

Posted by admin | Computer/Security | Thursday 26 May 2011 3:02 pm

I have come across this error on W7 32 bit prof versions. These are error on machines that have been in environment for some time, so just started to display the error when logging in. If you a secondary id and pass to logon to the machine, logon with it, (must be a admin rights user id) then open reg edit and change the settings as follow.
This will enable profile loging.

Use Registry Editor to add or to modify the following registry entry:
Subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Entry: UserEnvDebugLevel
Type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 10002 (Hexadecimal)

Note: UserEnvDebugLevel is given a value of 0×00010002, LOGFILE and VERBOSE are both turned on.

Once completed, logoff the machine, then log back in using the same id and pass which you know will trigger the error again.

The log file is written to the %Systemroot%\Debug\UserMode\Userenv.log file.

open a case with Microsoft, W7 is supported for all users, so once opened you then forward them the logs in order to troubleshoot further.

Best way however, would be to create a new profile id, rename the user folder name that has the issue to .old then log back in if on a AD domain. If you are not on a domain, you will need to recreate the profile.

iPhone 4 & Verizon: Understanding the Facts

Posted by admin | Computer/Security,HTML Code , tips or suggestions,Technology | Tuesday 18 January 2011 2:22 pm

Verizon’s iPhone 4 announcement has captured the collective consciousness of the wireless nation.

That means AT&T is working hard to discourage its customers from switching to the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network.

What’s its strategy? AT&T will go in areas they think are game-changers for customers.

Verizon will be prepared! Here’s is Verizon’s counter to common objections to switching!

Simultaneous Voice and Data Sessions
Verizon iPhone 4 customers can make a voice call on our network and browse the Internet over a public or home WiFi connection at the same time.

•The real question for customers is what is it “they” want to do because most features are supported on the phone.

•Some functions work simultaneously on our iPhone 4. Have these common examples in your back pocket:

◦If you’re using a navigation application and receive a call, the navigation pauses while you take the call and resumes when you hang up.

◦You can also check contacts and browse for items already on the phone while a call is in progress.

Global Communications
Our iPhone 4 will work in approximately 40 countries that use CDMA technology.

•Get to know the list of countries where Verizon has CDMA roaming, and make sure you have a few common business and vacation travel destinations ready to mention. CDMA roaming is available in over 40 countries – including Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, India and most of the Carribean Islands.

•In countries that use a GSM technology platform, Verizon offer a global program that loans customers a country-compatible device at no additional charge for up to three weeks.
•Customers can check out all the details at verizonwireless.com/global

3G Network – Speed & Reliability
Verizon has made a commitment to maintain and support our 3G network for many years to come, and Verizon continues to expand the 3G network even as 4G gets rolled out.

AT&T claims its data network is faster than our 3G CDMA Network.

Verizon Wireless has the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network, and that means we believe customers will be very happy with both the voice and data service they receive.

•Here’s a great question to pose: “How many Gs do you need?”

•Customers are getting a great smartphone that provides a host of applications that help them manage their lives, stay connected to friends and family and much more.

•And if they truly want and need a real 4G experience, Verizon Wireless offers 4G LTE, with a host of consumer devices coming during the first-half of 2011.

What is hiberfil.sys, and and can it be deleted to recover hard drive space on Windows 7?

Posted by admin | Computer/Security,Technology | Thursday 22 April 2010 12:11 pm

Unless you have one of those 2tb HDD in your PC, space is something that one is always looking to clear on a computer. If you look deep enough you will found out that there are two files called pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys that occupy over few GB of hard drive space. If you are the kind person that does not use Hibernate, then this article is for you.

When you turn off your computer using hibernate, the operating system needs to store all your current running program states onto hard disk so that programs can resume where they left off when you power up your PC again. To achieve this, the OS need to save all the information into a file called hiberfil.sys. Windows OS (7, vista, XP) usually stores this as a hidden file under your C directory or your main OS partition.

So if you never use hibernate, than its time for you to get your hard drive space back.

[Note: Hibernate mode is not sleep mode. When hibernating your computer completely shuts down, however, under sleep mode your PC is not completely shut down; it still consumes a small amount of power.]

The best way to delete hiberfil.sys or disable hibernate:

* Go to Start menu, type “cmd” open up command prompt
* Type “powercfg.exe -h off” [make sure you are an Administrator]
* ENTER
* Type “exit”
* ENTER

RESTART YOUR PC and you are all set

After restart you should be able to see more free space on your hard drive.

Home Wireless vendors to simplify routers and options

Posted by admin | Computer/Security,Technology | Thursday 15 April 2010 11:17 am

I have just purchased a gaming router but really have not purchased any routers over the past three years. Most home users think that the current technology is plenty fine 802.11g or n. Most home users are also set back by some of the complexity around setting up home networking. Cisco and Belkin are out there trying to get new customers, focusing on providing additional services in order to make the home/routing setup experience easier. Belkin has opted to make routing choices easier to grasp, like their Surf Line, Share, Play and Play Max wireless routers. Applications are also included to self healing or troubleshooting applications to detect and fix an issue for the user. The Print Genie also helps the users in order to setup printers etc. If you do a lot of downloads, torrent traffic, Xbox or gaming consoles on your network, go for the “Play Max Router” from Belkin.

Cisco also is in the game with their easy Valet service router line. Two versions are available from Cisco. The Valet Cost and the Valet Plus. The cost is aimed at Home with most wireless clients. The Plus is geared toward mixed wireless/wired environment. The Valet comes with a router and USB Valet sticks that lets you configure the wireless settings on your laptop or desktop in three easy steps. If you are wanting for something easy and the ability to be on the network in 90 seconds this is a good system to purchase. Like on most things do you own research and read customer reviews before making any purchases. Good Luck!

Apple factories employed minors?! Come on Apple run adds on this now!

Posted by admin | Computer/Security,Technology | Monday 1 March 2010 5:27 pm

I bet you Apple is not running adds on this!! I always believed Apple is way overrated so buy wisely.

Apple has said that it has found 17 labor violations at its factories. The one garnering most attention is the use of underage employees.

Apple has released its 2010 Supplier Responsibility report (PDF), revealing that three of its suppliers have hired underage workers. Though these employees were either no longer working
at the factories or no longer underage at the time of the audit, Apple’s inspectors found records of 11 employees who had been hired prior to reaching the legal age. However, child labor was not the only violation uncovered by the audit.

Apple also found more than 50 factories that forced employees to work longer than Apple’s maximum 60-hour weeks. Some facilities were depriving staff of benefits such as sick leave. All told, the inspectors uncovered 17 violations; a ‘core violation’ is considered the most serious class of violation. “It refers to any practice or situation that we consider to be contrary to the core principles underlying Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct,” Apple said.

Three of these violations were cases of falsifying records. That is, factories tried to cover up other violations by presenting inspectors with records that had been tampered with. One had tried to cover up hiring underage workers in the past, while the other two tried to cover up the fact that employees were overworked and not awarded days of rest. One facility falsified these records two years running. The company was caught in both 2008 and 2009.

Apple also found a staggering number of facilities that were not paying staff correctly:

At 48 of the facilities audited, we found that overtime wages had been calculated improperly, resulting in underpayment of overtime wages. At 24 facilities, our auditors found that workers had been paid less than minimum wage for regular working hours. In most of these cases, the facility’s pay structure for regular hours depended on attendance-related bonuses to meet minimum wage requirements; without these bonuses, there was no guarantee that the minimum wage would be met. We also found 15 facilities where the facility’s pay structure was unnecessarily complex and could result in underpayment of wages.

Other violations include excessive recruitment
fees and three cases where suppliers contracted with non-certified vendors for hazardous waste disposal.

When a core violation is detected, Apple requires that the facility remedy the situation immediately, as well as implement management systems that ensure continued compliance. The facility is also placed on probation for a period of one year, ending with a reaudit to ensure the violation has not reoccurred.

Apple inspected 102 facilities across China, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States.
