8700r network and software problems

Is anybody else experiencing network and s/w problems with their 8700 series? It's June 2008 so I accept that my 8700r handset is 18-24 mths old but in the past 2 months I've had the following problems:
- screen reads "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication" or screens time out before refreshing even though i'm downtown, towers all around me, and the antenna is on
- my facebook app didn't work for 2 months, showed as a blank screen, and has only this week started working again (i'm guessing they released a new version that didn't support the 8700r at first so i had to wait for a patch)
- unit just shuts itself off then comes back on seconds later
Is there a s/w upgrade I'm missing?

Its possible that your device is slowly failing. I would try backing up your BlackBerry and performing a wipe. Finally restore your data or reactivate. To wipe your BlackBerry go to Options > Security Options > General Settings. Press the scroll wheel and select Wipe Handheld. This will delete all personal data but leave any installed applications. If that doesn't work you could try reloading the OS. If that also fails they you probably need to get a replacement.

Why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

I also forgot to mention that when it did have power, it wouldn't let me shut it off to try and conserve the battery life. Right when it powered down it would power right back up.

Odd network (and Firewire) problems cured by unplugging iMac

I experienced a weird problem with my May 2005 20" iMac G5 running 10.4.2. In October I suddenly lost the ability to connect with one of my computers but not the other. I could connect just fine to the G4 Powerbook running 10.4.3, but could no longer connect to my G4 tower running 10.2.8. The iMac would spend several minutes trying to connect and then the message I got was that the server did not exist or something similar, or sometimes it would say that the version of AFP on the G4 tower was incompatible (I hadn't changed anything). I could still connect from the Powerbook to the G4 tower without any problem so I knew that the tower was OK, and all of the computers were able to print normally through the laser printer on the network. My workaround was to transfer data between the iMac and the tower by going through the Powerbook, but this was a pain since it took twice as long.
Of course I tried rebooting the iMac a number of times, but this did not help. I was thinking it was a software corruption of some sort, and was thinking of wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the whole system (fortunately I hadn't gotten around to doing that yet).
This problem persisted for about 2 months until I also realized that my Firewire ports weren't working either when I tried to hook up a new external Firewire drive. The Firewire ports did not even appear under system profiling. I had a very hard time locating info about troubleshooting the Firewire ports, but finally came across the suggestion to unplug everything from the computer, unplug the iMac from the power and leave it off for a while.
This unplugging cured the Firewire problem and also cured the networking problem!
(I don't know why this worked. I keep the iMac plugged into a UPS to protect it against power outages if that makes any difference.)
(The network configuration: iMac and Powerbook connect to Airport Express via Airport extreme, and the Airport Express is connected to the G4 "Digital Audio" tower through an 8-port Ethernet switch (which also connects to laser printer, a PC, and another very old Mac.))

Chime,
Good news for you. Actually, it's an emphatic YES!
Every ISP I've ever used had fine print explaining that multiple computers require multiple accounts. The interpretation of this is: Every computer you want to have assigned a PUBLIC IP address from your ISP requires it's own account. If you try to get clarification, your ISP will argue it, they want you to pay them more money for unnecessary accounts!
You only need one PUBLIC IP address from the ISP in order to establish internet sharing throughout your house. Your gateway will establish PRIVATE IP addresses for the computers on your home network.
Plug the phone cord into your Base Station (if it has a dial-up modem), the base station then becomes the one PUBLIC computer allowed on your ISP. Configure it to dial out on demand. It becomes the gateway between the internet connection and your internal network.
This is completly legitamate as long as you are sharing over an "in-your-own-home-for-personal-use-only" PRIVATE IP LAN behind your ONE gateway connection.
Not familiar with the new Base Stations, all the older ones had modems. The base station with a modem IS the most convenient way to do this (esp. for dial-up) and provides the best firewall security for the whole network. However, if yours doesn't have a modem, it's still possible to establish internet sharing using one of your computers as the gateway to dial-out and share the connection.
BTW - if BB options are limited, have you considered satellite options (DirecPC, etc.)?

Hard drive, battery, and software problems

I am having a ton of problems with my macbook pro 2010
My most urgent problem is my harddrive. It was able to boot but it was a lot slower than the usual 15 seconds. Today it stayed on a white screen with a loading circle (like in the top left of the iPhone) for about 3 minutes. After that I held down the power button to restart and the boot took about a minute. After I logged in I sat staring at the pinwheel and eventually the dock popped up. I opened up the applications I needed (Safari, Preview, Activity Monitor and Evernote) and the icons just bounced for a while. When the apps opened they said I had nothing saved until I reopened the windows. I have not had a problem with that before. My HD had 66Gb free and the Activity Monitor shows about 2gb of Ram and 80-90% of the CPU free. It has also been running very slowly saving and opening files. I did a disk verification and it said that the HD is corrupt and needs to be repaired in recovery mode. I have everything backed up to time machine, but it has had alot of trouble doing even that. My recent backups have taken about 15 minutes(~500mb), most of that time spent preparing backup.
Will I need an HD replacement?
Problem number 2 is the battery. It seemed to suddenly get worse this weekend. I use my macbook for school and usually I can get through the whole day with 60 percent left. My day usually consists of taking notes or reading from an online textbook, checking news and some other web browsing. It is 9AM and I am down to 65% from 100. I even had it in sleep for about 20 minutes and that used 2%. The system info app said the battery was in normal condition but for some reason it doesnt hold a charge as well. Usually I only have 2-3 apps open and the brightness is a bit over half way.
I have a couple of minor software issues I would also like to take care of. Half the time I login I get a black screen except for the clock in the top right. When I move my mouse it reveals a normal login screen identical to my mouse movements. It is sort of like those black peices of paper that when you write on them it shows silver or somthing. When I search in spotlight it always says indexing at the bottom. Doesnt affect anything but it is weird. Last thing is that sometimes when I download somthing it says my disk is full. That might go long with it being corrupt but it is very annoying because i have to try it again a few times before I can use the file. As i mentioned before I have 66gb free and this can happen with simple pages docs

Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair' Disk. That may solve that problem.
Regarding the battery, see if any of the information contained in this article will help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
Your software issues may be a reflection of a corrupt HDD. Attend the to internal HDD and then see if the software issues still persist.

Windows 7 user account network and administration problem

Hello
I hope I am in the correct place and that my problem can be looked at, if not could I ask the moderator to move this post to the correct forum.
I have a very unusual problem that I hope can be resolved here.
I have 3 x Win 7 machines ( 2 x Pro and 1 x Ultimate ) all on my network but recently I tried to SFTP/SSH using winscp into one of them ( Pro ) only to find that access was denied – it took ages to find out why
– I finally noticed that the user name I created ( that has admin rights ) was not actually in the c:\Users\ folder what has happened is that all the files that should be in my created windows account are sitting in a folder called “user”which
is insidec:\Users\
I then created a folder that has the same user login nameI originally created, inside
c:\Users\
and copied all the files from the “user” folder and then tried to STFP/SSH into the original created user name but that did not work
I then tried this link
User Account - Hide using method 2 point 12, i.e adding (1) to the SpecialAccounts key, but that has not unhide my user account.
Using this cmd below
net user > Desktop\Users.txt
lists the users but I would expect to see i.e
Administrator ( followed by ) …. (created username)
What I am seeing however is below
Guest ( followed by ) …. (user)
When I use the command
lusrmgr.msc I see below :-
Name = user
Full name = my created windows login
Description = blank
I hope I can get some help here – I have cloned my disc in case of any mishaps but all I want to do is get my created win 7 user account working as it should, incidentally the login welcome screen appears on the
created account.

Hello
MeipoXu
I think that I have managed to get into a better position since your last email above, but not quite where I need to be.
I have posted 3 jpg's
jpg key 501 = c:\Users\D&S
jpg key1000 = c:\Users\User
jpg winscp = my SFTP attempt to my problem machine
key 1000 = c:\Users\User .. everything I try to do will not get rid of this key.
However c:\Users\D&S finally appeared, and I was able to SFTP login using winscp only to find the root reports as c:\Users\user.
What I should see is c:\Users\D&S but I can only access c:\Users\User and not c:\Users\D&S
( Does that all make sense ? )
The other thing I noticed was that key 501
is normally reserved for the guest account c:\users\guest
But it has taken over c:\Users\D&S ... if you can get me past this then I will be extremely grateful
I need to see the root reported back as c:\Users\D&S not c:\Users\User
Turning to your post above and may I thank you for your help in trying to resolve this but before I proceed I need to be very clear about what you are suggesting I do.
Your Quote
Enable the built-in administrator account and login with it .To enable the built-in account:
net user administrator /active:yes
Q) Do I login with new the Admin account first then net user administrator /active:yes ?
Your Quote
Cut the whole folder and paste it to the Users folder , then navigate to the registry keys"ProfileImagePath" and change it to "c:\Users\account name".
Q) Cut and past which folder ? is it the folder c:\Users\D&S ? and where am I pasting it as "D&S" already exists in c:\Users\D&S .. I already created it and copied all the contents from "user" to "D&S"
Your Quote
Restart the machine and login with that account and then have a check.
Q) That bit must mean login with D&S
Your Quote
If the issue has gone ,please run "net user administrator /active:no" to disable the built-in account.Again
A) Got that bit :-)
Apologies for the above but I have found to my cost that if you assume what something means it can turn out to be mis understood and I could end up creating more trouble for myself
I will submit the winscp jpg separately as you can only submit 2 jpg's per message
Thank you

WRT120N on non-default network and DHCP problem

Hello,
I have setup the WRT120N on my network with an address like 192.168.3.X, the problem is that I cannot setup the DHCP server to serve on this network, it is fixed on the 192.168.1.X.
Is there a way to change this or I really need to setup my network around this router?
Thanks
Ivan

These settings are not possible. You cannot use the same IP subnet on the internet connection and the LAN. Routing happens based on IP addresses and subnet masks. 192.168.3.* addresses are on the WAN and the LAN side. How is the router supposed to know whether it should route an IP like 192.168.3.7 to the WAN side or the LAN side?
Actually the router should not allow you to set up this. Can you press Save settings with these settings and it is accepted? That would be a firmware bug. The LAN address should never be accepted with a internet address you have set.
Your settings suggest you don't want to use the WRT as router but as wireless access point and ethernet switch to extend your existing LAN. If that's the case, the correct setup would be to switch the internet connection type back to Automatic/DHCP. Leave the LAN IP address as it is or set it to 192.168.3.11 if you prefer that.
In addition, disable the DHCP server. (as you have it in your screen shot). The WRT cannot be a DHCP server when used as access point.
Save settings and then wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your existing LAN. Don't use the internet port! Now the WRT is a simple wireless access point and ethernet switch. It does not do any routing, DHCP, or similar.

Safari, network, and reboot problem

Hi,
A few weeks back I went to the apple store to get my laptop fixed. My macbook which is one of the oldest one had a screen problem. The staff at the macbook store in lexington suggested I buy a package where they would fix and clean my laptop. Few weeks after getting it fixed, my Youtube stopped working. After going through discussions here in apple support I was able to get it fixed. Now my Safari and Firefox doesn't work. It says its not connected to the internet and every time I shutdown or restart, my laptop reboots itself automatically. The network connection is good because my siblings macbooks work perfectly fine. Even my other internet applications work good like skype, yahoo, and hotmail. messengers. Please help me out.

Hello and welcome...
Check the startup disk in case it needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing follow the instructions here for Using Disk Utility to Verify and Repair Disks
Check Capacity and Available at the bottom of the Disk Utility window. Make sure there is at least 15% free disk space.
Might try resetting the PRAM also, intructions here.

MSI P67A GD65 Multiplier and software problems

Hi
i just bought i5 2500k and Msi mb, it came with 1.4 bios version and the maximum multiplier that i could log into Windows was 44 even though the vcore adjustment didnt work properly
maxing out at 1.224 (bios reading) no matter the voltage set manually, I updated to 1.7B4 and i was able to get into windows at 46x100 the downside of the new bios was the memory suddenly stopped working at 2133 10-11-11-30 1.65v even 12-12-12-30 would end up in oc failed message so i had to settle for 1866. Now i updated to 1.8B5 and i can run my memory at 10-11-11-30 again no problem but
maximum muliplier went down to 44... again - theres no way to make system work with 45 or higher multiplier so basically oc-wise 1.8B5 is like 1.4 with vcore adjustment working properly/pll fix - Plz p67 users need proper bios.
Second problem is that Overcloking center crashes with 0xc0000005 code right after launching exe - first happened on my old XP SP3 so i installed fresh Win7 unfortunatelly its the same story.

Ok now im mad i flashed back to 1.7B4 and guess what i cant choose any multiplier above 44! Whats weird is that although bios version says 1.7B4 its behaving exactly like 1.8B5
Every time i changed some voltage option in bios V1.4 or V.1.7B4 the pc would power down and then power up, since 1.8B5 it would just reset. That and inability to go above x44 when just yesterday
i could go x46 (i didnt check more as i want to run my SB below 1.35vcore) makes me think my cpu is artificially locked and ability to go above x44 in 1.7B4 was just an accident that was
corrected in 1.8B5 whch has some code inside that prevents (in case somebody wants to downgrade) to update data responsible for cpu oc. Another example supporting that is that my cpu can
boot up at 4.4 ghz@stock voltage (1.168 in bios) log into windows and run some tests , of course it would freeze and reset randomly after some seconds or minutes but still... On the other hand changing the mulitplier to 45 and vcore up to 1.4v doesnt even make HDD start spinning and load WIndows after the MSI logo screen vanishes, its just seems locked.

Internal Speakers - Hardware and Software Problem

Earlier today, I had headphones plugged into my computer. Like so many other people on these forums, I now have a red light coming from my headphone jack and cannot play sound from my internal speakers.
BUT the Sound / Output section of System Preferences says that my "Built-In Output" is selected for use.
I've tried fiddling with the jack and whatever magic switch is inside with no luck. I've also restarted a couple of times. It seems that my computer's hardware thinks there are headphones in, but the software doesn't?
Any suggestions (especially those that don't involve bent paper clips or prayer!) are much much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums.
Never insert a metal paper clip in the hole. Metal object stuck in holes that have electronics involved is not a good idea unless it was designed to fit in the hole. A plastic tooth pick is better. The red light in the earphone hole indicates your digital audio has been switched on. To turn it off you can use a plastic toothpick in the hole and try to flip the switch. One poster said he thought it was at the 3 o'clock position looking from the side. Other posters have got it to turn off by plugging in their headphones numerous times.
One even said it turned off after he blew into the hole. If you have compressed air you could try that also.
If this doesn't work you will have to get it serviced by Apple.

PowerBook G3 Lombard hardware and software problems

Hello,
Last month I had a kernel panic that I couldn't reboot from. This time it is completely different.
Ok, so this time I installed 10.4 Tiger using XPostFacto. I grabbed my USB flash drive to copy the intro video over and I got this error:
[The item "name.filetype" could not be moved because "Untitled" cannot be modified."
Then after that, my charger (a yoyo charger) completely stopped. Help.

     Thanks Knuckesmac.
     My specs are:
PowerPC G3 333 MHz
128 MB RAM
60 GB HDD
     I plugged in my USB drive in, and clicked on Get Info, and it said, in Permissions, "Read-only". So that's something I need help with.
      Also, I have had problems with my charger since I got the system from my sister's husband. At that time, it had 64 MB of RAM and ran Mac OS 8.6. Upgrading to OS X 10.3 after I upgraded to 9, I found more problems. Finally, after installing OS X 10.4, the charger just quit. It may be that I have to get a new charger, but I dont have any stores that sell third party chargers and I need to put money in my parent's PayPal account if I want to buy from eBay. So that's something I will try. Thanks.

Fascinate hardware and software problem

Hi
I bought this phone on last week saturday.
I found the defective thing on the camera.
There is a camera on the back side of the phone,
And there is silver color outline around camera.
When I see on the side of the phone, the upper right coner of the camera part is slightly higher than other three corners.
When I touch the other three corners, i feel very smooth.
However, the difference is on the surface because the height of upper right corner is higher than others,
I really don't want to use this phone under this condition.
I checked other fascinate. They are not similiar with mine.
However, the store disagree. So, they reject to exchange the phone.
This issue drive me crazy.
Is there any one having same problem??
Another problem is Daily Briefing.
I set to use auto refreshing. But it doesn't work.
I tried several ways. Everything is not working.
I heard that the auto refreshing is not working under Lock.
I mean the auto refreshing will be working when the user use the phone( under unlock)
It so werid

My i phone will not open my yahoo mail, but sits and spins. I have reset the phone and network and still no help. Any other ideas?

My i-phone stopped receiving e-mail on a regular basis. Rather, it will sit and spin trying to load and then stop. Usually, sometime in the night, it will all of a sudden load all of my mail, but then will not load new mail again. I have updated and reset the phone and network, and the problem remains the same. Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

Try deleting the account, restarting your phone and then reinputting the account.
