Have been trying all night (Saturday, March 6, 2010) to upload photos without success. Simple uploader, java uploader, 3 different browsers… nothing.
Upload failed. Upload failed. Upload failed.
By the sounds of it I’m not alone so it would appear facebook is failing on a large scale at this time.
Anyone have any further information?
*edit*
As of Sunday, upload operations seem to be functioning again.
The problem
I recently used the calendar control from the AJAX toolkit to set a date in its associated textbox control. I wanted the user to only be able to set the date through the calendar control so I made the textbox read only by setting the ReadOnly property to true. The problem this produces is that readonly controls don’t post back their values in the viewstate thus you lose the value when the user submits the form.
The solution
After some research the easiest workaround I found was this.
Leave the textbox control property as ReadOnly = False
In the Page Load event set the client side attribute of the textbox with the following:
txtDate.Attributes.Add(“readonly”, True)
This way the control is included in the postback and the value is preserved but client side the user won’t be able to manually edit it.
Installing the Spyder2express 2.2 software it came up that it doesn’t come with a 64-bit driver for XP or Vista.
There is a download page on the datacolor site for version 2.3.6 which includes the 64-bit driver. The page is currently here.
Had this problem today. Got a text message but there was no audible alert even though my phone wasn’t muted.
When I played with the volume the overlay said “ringer (headphones)”. It thought I had headphones plugged in. Uh oh.
After some Googling, I found there are a couple possible remedies to this that can work. I’ll start with the one that worked for me…
It’s possible for dust, lint, etc. to get in the headphones port and make the phone think headphones are plugged in.
I took a can of compressed air with the skinny straw attachment, stuck it in the port and blew it out with air for a few seconds. Poof! Problem solved. Phew!
The other methods that people have reported working:
1. Plugging and unplugging headphones until it starts working (maybe just another method of clearing debris?)
2. Start up a song in iPod with the headphones plugged in, then shut down iPod and return to desktop with the headphones plugged in, then unplug the headphones.
