Answers
1)
I can't login to the E-Practice Record. It keeps saying "Sorry, wrong
username and/or password."
Causes:
You didn't enter the correct username/password combination.
You're entering your username or password with spaces, capital letters, or symbols.
The E-Practice Record isn't active yet (this is usually common at the beginning of each school year).
Resolution:
Make sure you have entered the username/password combination that you picked or that was assigned to you.
None of the usernames or passwords can contain spaces, capital letters, or symbols (only dashes, underscores, and periods are permitted).
Try to login again. If it doesn't work submit a Password Reset Request. (If it is at the beginning of the school year, the E-Practice Record might not be available yet.
2) I can't login to the E-Practice Record. It says "Sorry, E-Practice Record has not been activated. Please contact your director."
Causes:
Your director has not sent the usernames to be entered into the system.
Your director has not paid a prior bill for the E-Practice Record.
Resolution
Contact your director immediately.
3) I am absolutely sure that I have the correct
username and password, but it still won't let me in and I can't submit a
Password Reset Request.
Causes:
Your music director didn't supply an email address to the system.
You are trying to login to the Example E-Practice Record.
You are trying to login to another school's E-Practice Record.
Passwords are case sensitive.
Resolution:
Contact your music director for the correct username or password.
Go to your music program's website and click on the link from there.
Make sure you are typing your password in lowercase letters if this is your first time logging in. Otherwise, make sure you are typing the correct letters in uppercase and lowercase for your password if you have changed it.
4) When I try to submit a password reset request, I
receive the message "ERROR! No records found matching your email address." What
can I do?
Causes:
Your music director may not have supplied the email address when the system was being set up.
If you have logged in previously, you did not supply your email address to the system at the first login.
Resolution:
Contact your music director for your password.
After receiving your password and successfully logged in, enter in your email address immediately.
5) After entering my email address into the
password reset request form, it says "Password Reset Successful! Please check
your email for your new password." I check my email, but I haven't received a
new password. What's wrong?
Causes:
The server is under a heavy load due to high amounts of traffic.
Your email privacy settings is marking the email as SPAM.
Resolution:
Wait 10-15 minutes. Either the E-Practice Record server is running slow or your ISP's server is running slow. Check your email again.
Check your SPAM folder. If there is no email there, check your email privacy settings. Some email services such as AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, and many others will mark email as SPAM if it doesn't recognize it. They might also automatically delete SPAM messages. Add passreset@pcdudley.net and pcdudley@pcdudley.net to your white list.
6) After
successfully logging into the E-Practice Record™, I enter the information
into the Submit an E-Practice Record form and click submit only to be sent back
to the login page. Why is this?
Causes:
Your web browser's cache files are corrupt.
Your web browser is out dated.
Your music program's website is opening the E-Practice Record page within frames.
Resolution:
Clear your web browser's cache. In Internet Explorer, go to the Tools Menu and then click on Internet Options. Delete Temporary Internet Files. In Mozilla Firefox, go to the Tools Menu and click on Clear Private Data.
Make sure your browser is up to date. Minimum requirements for Internet Explorer is version 5.5.
Another cause could be because your music program's website is opening the E-Practice Record within frames. Email your music director about this. A temporary work around would be to right click on the link to the E-Practice Record and then click on Open in New Window.
7) My music director says that he/she has NOT
received any E-Practice Records. I know that I have submitted them. Why hasn't
he/she received them?
Causes:
E-Practice Records were submitted in the Example E-Practice Record.
The system was down.
Resolution:
Make sure that you are not submitting at the E-Practice Record Example. The E-Practice Record Example is clearly marked and also has a disclaimer stating that NONE of the E-Practice Records submitted there will be received by the director. If you don't use your User name and password to login successfully and instead use the username testuser and the password test the practice record will not be received by your director.
In some rare occasions, the E-Practice Record system may have problems. Always check and make sure that the E-Practice Record that you submitted appears on the View Past Records page. If it doesn't appear there, the practice record might not have gone through successfully. Try to submit again. If it doesn't work a second time, email eprecordjcb@pcdudley.net with your username and password and then send an email to your music director describing the problem.
