Xserve Services are accessible for a moment and then can't access
I have new Intel Xserve. Set up as a gateway, open directory master, web server, etc. Ethernet 1 connects to the wan and Ethernet 2 connects to a new Airport Extreme. The client machines are Macbooks. The Xserve is set up to be the dhcp server. The Airport is a bridge.
Everything was working fine until last week. Here is what is happening: The Macbooks can use the services that the Xserve provides for a short while, ie they can browse the Xserve's websites, browse internet websites and authenticate with open directory. Then after a short while they can't. For instance attempting to get to www.apple.com with the Macbook will result in a constant "contacting ...." status in Safari. Authentication with Open Directory is no longer possible. Even trying to browse 192.168.2.1 (the Xservers Eth2 IP address) results in "contacting...." and nothing happening. Interestingly I can still ping 192.168.2.1 from the laptop.
To get things working again I've found I can simply make a change to the setting of the ethernet card on the Xserve. For example I might switch it from static ip to dhcp and back. I might change the ethernet from auto to manual and back or whatever. Just make a change to the network settings and apply then change them back and apply. The laptops will be able to access the services again for a short while (maybe a minute or two) and then things get stalled again. They won't be able connect to websites or get access to the internet etc. Again even http://192.168.2.1 won't work. Change something in network settings and change back and it will work for a short while again. Nothing is popping out at me in any logs I'm looking at.
Do I have a hardware problem? At first I assumed DNS perhaps? Since the server is pre-production I erased the harddrives last night and reinstalled OSX Server. Set it up as a gateway and webserver using the apple setup aids and the same thing. Laptops can access the server for a few moments then fail. If I make a change to the networking settings in preferences that seems to reset things for a short time and then it fails again.
I'm stumped, but then again I'm also new at this.
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)
&tWhen the clients keep on showing the "connecting..." screen, that is usually a DNS problem. Do you have the DNS servers correctly listed under DHCP services by the server?
If you can ping your server but cannot access the Internet try the dig command and see if the DNS servers are responding.
;b>dig www.apple.com
The last few lines should contain the IP address of your DNS server like this:
e.g. Covad DNS server
;; Query time: 25 msec
;; SERVER: 64.105.189.26#53(64.105.189.26)
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 284
If the IP address shown there is not the one for the DNS server, you have configuration problem.

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?
You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

how can i hold a spot in a clip, let the audio continue for a moment and then resume the clip and audio together?
you want to use the retiming tool. you can select what you want to hold, then use the "Hold" command (shift-H) to create a single frame of a default duration, which you can then change to whatever length you want by dragging the retiming handle.
Here's the page in the help manual that describes the hold feature in detail:

I am unable to access the iTunes store for the last two months, I've tried removing the software and re-installing the latest version for Windows XP and still no access; is there a solution that would allow me to get access again?
If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Display sleeps only for a moment and then wakes up again
Since some days my display will go to sleep when pressing ctrl cmd eject keys. BUT is wakes up after just 5-15 seconds. It will not sleep automatically.
Screensaver is working fine. Also sleeping of the whole iMac.
Found work around: when I put settings to never sleep display I can manually put the screen to sleep and it stays. This means that there is no process waking up the display sleep. Like to solve it though. Any suggestions are welcome.
Actions tried so far:
Restarted and did a repairing disk permissions.
Resetting PRAM, and resetting the SMC.
Verify and repair discdeleted: com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and
based on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2164018?start=0&tstart=0 deleted com.apple.screensaver.plist
Will now reboot -
I-pod crashes and then can't access it for afew hours?
Hi all,
Sometimes my ipod crashes and I cant get in2 it for afew hours sometimes. It just stays on the same screen and I cant go back a menu or play/stop/rew./f.forward. and if the light was on even that stays lit til' it sorts itself out. Often I have 2 wait til' the battery runs out til' I can use it again. It get proper frustrating sometimes, especially if I'm out all day and it happens in the morning!
Has any1 else encountered this?
LiamMine is doing the exact same thing at the moment. This is the first time it's happened and I'm not quite sure what to do either. It is frozen on a song. I cannot click on any of the buttons and the clock has stopped. Did the clock stop on yours as well? Tried to plug it in - but nothing happens. Is this similar to your problem? It has been frozen for about an hour now and I'm rather frustrated.

What is a finder window in cs6 windows 7 and how can i access it
what is a finder window in cs6 for windows 7 and how can I access it?
Hi there,
Can you give us a little more context so we can better help you?
For example, where did you see this term mentioned? It confuses me because the Mac OS has a "Finder window", but I think you're saying that your operating system is Windows 7. And in Windows, the File Explorer is the equivalent of the Mac Finder.
Am I correct in thinking that you're using Photoshop CS6? -
Hi .. A never before seen problem for me .. While working in PS with large files , the program freezes for a moment and bright pixels of flourescent colors of purple and green fill parts of the background screen behind Photoshop. Its getting worse ? The programs are running extremely slow also. Thanks for any ideas.
You can't and don't have a PowerMac (G5).
Repairing Permissions, likely just waste of time.
REPAIR the HARD DRIVE instead.
Blowing dust around inside is a really bad idea. Or in the house.

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?
Anything is possible.

when i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please help me?
Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed -

When I click on my Messages app I can see it for a brief moment and then the screen goes blank
When I click on my Messages app I can see it for a brief moment and then the screen goes blank. This happened to me last week and I Reset All Settings, which worked-but it has just happened again so that's not a long-term solution.
Hello linslaf,
It may help to force close the Messages app, then restart the device.
