Easiest way to fix this is add /web to the url you are using to try and access the server with.
E.g. 192.168.1.7:32400/web
Then you will be good to go with your Plex Server media editing.
Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing SM-N9005
If you own an Android phone and like messing around with the software on it, you may have seen this error.
This happened to my phone when I flashed a CWM (Clockwork Mod) Recovery that wasn’t for my Android version.
If you are running Android 4.4 and above make sure you flash with CWM 6.0.4.7 to avoid this error.
Download it here
Be aware that this is for SM-N9005 only.

TP-Link Archer C7 5GHz and AES issues with Apple Macbook Air/iMac/Mac Mini
I recently ordered myself an Archer C7 to play around with, for the price it seemed like quite a decent unit, offering dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz, guest network and gigabit LAN ports.
Since I have some older devices I configured both the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band.
After this I noticed on my Macbook Air if I connected it to the 5GHz network, traffic was hit and miss. Sometimes I would have LAN access, others I did not, and the same went for internet access. However, if I connected to the 2.4GHz network everything operated normally.
I emailed TP-Link support about this and they asked me to perform a variety of tests and although some of my devices are still not working correctly one of the suggestions they made did fix the issue on one device.
If you are having this issue, make sure you run all of the EFI and SMC updates for your Mac, after I installed these I was able to connect to 5GHz with AES using my Macbook Air
Note: This particular issue from what I have read seems to be isolated to wireless cards that use the Broadcom Chipset (which unfortunately is a lot of Apple products)
TP-Link apparently have senior engineers working to fix this issue (as it has been noted that there are throughput issues with broadcom cards as well), however in the meantime if you want to use the 5GHz band it is recommended that you leave the network with open security (i.e. No passwords) and set up MAC address filtering to prevent unauthorised access. This is definitely not a “fix” more of a band-aid solution, because seriously what home user is going to add a MAC address every time they want to connect a new device.
If you still seem to have issues connecting after doing an SMC and EFI update it is recommended that you make your Mac forget the networks – make a new network location and then try to connect again. See this document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289 for information on network locations.
Can not accurately check the licence for this computer 0x8009006 (WinXP)
This seems to be happening a little more frequently in the last couple of weeks. You go to log on to your computer but you can not, getting logged off with an error like the above or similar.
There are several posts and forums about how to repair this error by re-registering DLL files, deleting Windows Product Activation Files (WPA files), virus scans.
I like many others tried many of the suggestions and had no luck in getting beyond the error – however there is a way around this.
Windows XP’s installer has the ability to repair an existing installation rather than overwrite it. A repair install rewrites the WPA files, registry keys and upon boot will reactivate your installation. Repair installs do not affect your current user data – once complete you should see your desktop as it was.
There are some rules to completing repair installs though – the major being selecting the correct installation media i.e. dont use XP Home if you have XP Pro installed, it wont work. If you have Service Pack 3 installed, dont use a XP Install disc that only has service pack 2 or a vanilla disk – it will break things if you do. Match your installation media to your current system, if you only have a disc that contains an earlier service pack, or none at all – take a look at http://www.nliteos.com/ and read about how to slipstream service packs and updates into a installer CD.
Another common mistake people make doing repair installs is not having a CD key – if you dont have one, dont bother trying the repair process, it will get to the point where you need a key and you will be stuck, if you say activate later you will just run back into an activation error.
How do I do a repair install?
Boot your computer from CD with the matched installation, and make sure you press a key when it says “Press any key to boot from CD” or the system will proceed to boot from the hard drive.
Initially you will see the EULA agreement where you will need to press F8 to agree to the terms then the installer will begin to start. The first screen you will see will advise you to press enter to install Windows or press R for recovery console. Press enter as afterwards the installer will scan for existing installations and then give you another prompt.
The next prompt is press esc to install a fresh copy of windows or press r to do a repair install – this is the option you want. Press r and let the computer do its thing, go do something else for a while and come back and follow the prompts, the computer will reboot eventually to a graphical installation, again follow the prompts through.
Once complete the computer should boot up as normal and simply login to your user. If you want to double check your activation status, go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com this site will not work unless the system is activated.
If you did not slip stream a CD using nLite you are best off to install all of the high priority updates from the update site, some updates may be necessary for certain components or software installed in your system to run correctly.
So now, next time you see this error on a machine instead of trying to reregister all of the WPA components, move the wpa.dbl files and all of the other “tricks” just do a repair install instead, in most cases it will save more time then trying to manually repair the WPA error.
iertutil.dll was not found Windows XP
Recently Microsoft started rolling out Internet Explorer 8 as a non-optional update for Windows XP. Considering how insecure the older versions are this isnt really a bad thing except when the automatic update fails and stops your computer from booting correctly.
You may have seen the following errors pop up:
iertutil.dll could not be found
or
Error the ordinal 681 could not be loaded.
This happens as explorer is starting to load, and causes problems with automatic installation of USB devices as well. Fortunately though there is a fix.
There are several different methods that people reccomend on how to fix this particular issue. One of them is to use system restore to return the computer to a useable state. Although this is likely to fix this particular error, it can cause you more errors and despite what people believe it DOES delete data.
The appropriate way of fixing this error is to replace the iertutil.dll file with the version that windows is expecting to find – not the corrupted version.
This file is located in c:\windows\system32\ problem is it is corrupt or incorrect, luckily though Windows saves a copy of the file in C:\windows\system32\dllcache
Now there are two ways to move this file, if you have a recovery CD such as UBCD for Windows or MSDART you can copy the file from C:\windows\system32\dllcache to C:\windows\system32 and overwrite the existing file. I would reccomend doing this only if you are having issues with keyboard/mice since USB recogniton is broken.
If you can boot into windows still it is much easier to do the following:
1. Press ctrl+shit+esc on your keyboard, and you will see the task manager pop up.
2. Goto File > New task
3. Type in cmd and press enter
This should open the command prompt, although one computer I repaired recently would throw an error as soon as you typed into the run box, if this happens, click the error then use your keyboard to move the text cursor and continue writing the command
4. Once in command prompt type the following to enter the system32 directory
– cd \ (then press enter)
– cd windows\system32 (then press enter)
Your path should now show c:\windows\system32
Now that you are in this directory I suggest you rename your current iertutil.dll file just in case you need to revert back to it. Type the following:
– rename iertutil.dll iertutil.old (then press enter)
The command line will just return it will not say file successfully renamed or anything like that.
Now we need to copy the file from the dllcache into the system32 directory. To make the command more simple you should do the following:
Considering your path should show c:\windows\system32 you will only need to cd (change directory) into dllcache not an entire path
– cd dllcache (press enter)
– path will now show c:\windows\system32\dllcache
Now you are in the dllcache directory type the following to copy iertutil.dll to where it needs to be
– copy iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32 (press enter)
You should get the message “1 file(s) copied”
If you have got this far – you can now reboot your computer. Providing this was your only issue, you should now be able to boot all the way in to your desktop.
Now – before you go doing anything to avoid the error occuring again download Internet explorer 8 full installer http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43 and install it. I strongly recommend running windows updates as well.
