About to dump Fios - system won't keep wireless internet

Wondering if anyone has been having trouble with wireless connection to router lately. We have, for the past month, have had nothing but trouble with all 4 of our computers (Mac and PC) whereby the connections will remain GREEN on the router and yet our internet connection is dead until the router is reset (sometimes), or (sometimes) you reboot your computer. And because of how Fios is structured, when the internet is dead so too is any VOD services. This is beyond frustrating after hours on the phone with Verizon. Even a new router didn't help, which they finally replaced. Any suggestions would be appreciated as we've now gone to using our Sprint card. Thanks!

We had the same problem and it was very frustrating. My husband just solved it today. He bought a $40 Netgear router (the G type to match our Verizon router). He configured the Netgear router which took a long time--about an hour. Then, as we have Internet jacks throughout our house, he plugged the Netgear router into an Internet jack. Apparently, this enables the Netgear router to talk to the Verizon router. Now we have wireless throughout our house, and we are very happy!
Thanks to the posts on this forum. They saved us the time and trouble of calling Verizon tech support and ordering a new router. The posts also showed we were not alone with this problem which was reassuring.

Airport Utility cannot find my Airport. It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

How can I get Airport Utility to find my Airport? It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason. I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP. Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method. To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.
I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid . Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router. I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart. I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.

I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.

Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.

Question is a bit unclear. Once you start a rental, you have 24 hours to complete it. I pause mine all the time. When I hit play again, I get a choice to either resume where I left off or start all over. I believe it is necessary to have an internet connection while view ATV content, so if you lost the connection, that might make it "spin".
Re your tag line "Can I view my ATV thru my iPad?" If you have a wifi connection, you can view almost anything with AirPlay. Or you can view anything from the various ATV selections without having your iPad on. Of course, you have to pay for some options like HBO, Netflix, etc.

What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump of hyper-v host.

Hi ,
I want to setup hyper-v host with 128 GB RAM , Windows 2012 R2
What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump?
I tested to using 150 GB , but when the server is crashed, there is no free space to keep memory dump file.
Ramy

Hi Ramy,
For Server 2012R2 the absolute minimum system drive is 32Gb but this assume you have limited RAM or have your Page file located on another drive. It used to be best practice to setup a small page file but MS PFE now suggest leaving windows to manage
the page file size.
Obviously this is not always possible depending on the amount of RAM in the system, but base the system drive around this or offload the Page file to perhaps another drive. On top of this you also need space for the memory dump to be written, potentially
again up to the size of the RAM. Assuming you fire the machine back up after a crash, you need space for the OS, the Page File plus space for the associated dump file.
There is a nice little article here that maybe of assistance: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx

Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

I can only keep the computer on for about 2-3 mintues then it shuts down. I checked to make sure CPU is not overheating, it shows 42C under H/W monitor via MB. I can enter BIOS setup, but system won't stay on for more than 2-3 minutes. CAn this be a defective MB? PLEASE HELP ASAP. THANKS.
Also Back LED's have 3 green and one red. Red is at lower left hand corner. Any ideas what this mean?

Seems like your board is shorting out in your case. I would reinstall your board making sure the wholes line up perfect with the standoffs. Samething happened to me when installing my 2nd Neo.

Sharing some info about Export dumps

Just to share some info about exports happenig in our system

Has anyone seen encountered soemthing like this...
Strange but to live with it
Oracle 8i on Win2k

Is this your Production Database? Did you schedule this export? During peak/off peak business hours? Production
Yes
Off Peak hours
Apart from this export, what database backup procedure you have in place? Full Backups/Incremental all in place
You said, you take export regularly as part of procedure. Is this a strange behavior today or did you observe this previously as well??I have been observing since i joined this company.It was 14GB and Dump was around 7 ..now the DB is 20GB and dump is around 10GB
I was just thinkking for a TB database how much the export would be...:)
Adding on i had a 100Gb db generating 8Gb dump...Looked strange..)BUt that 100GB did not have so amny objects like what i have now...
Thanks

System won't boot-no chime.

Despite repeated attempts and resetting the CUDA button, the system won't boot when start button is pressed. In the first few seconds it seems to make normal sounds; but no chime and settles into simply fan noise. This is true even if using C (with an Install CD). or Shift key. Is there anything else I can try? (I know it's actually a G3 B&W Motherboard; but I had nowhwere else to post it)

I do not remember exactly what was happening when it stopped. It may have been executing something , hung up, and wouldn't respond to the Command-Opt-Esc or I do remember one incident when it was booting up and stopped when it was partly thru "searching for local discs.
I checked the ref. article and tried to measure the voltages on the power connector. I was never quite sure what pin was what, since the colors did not jive with those in the article. At any rate 2 were approx. + 5 V (one was 4.85), the rest were essentially zero (I believe 1 or 2 were about 300 mv). I did notice that when the power connector is reconnected and start up is attempted, 3 little green lights come on on the motherboard. One goes off after a while.
I have tried the old Sonnet upgrade and have tried reseating all the RAM modules. All to no avail.
The Hard drive and all other parts seemed to be working fine prior to the failure.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

[SOLVED] Switch to systemd - Now system won't boot

I saw that todays update upgrade included the installation of systemd. I looked the wiki and did the necessary changes (I already had made the /etc/hostname etc. files). So I added the
init=/bin/systemd
line to grub and now my system won't boot. I get an error saying something about syslog service not enabled and then a black screen. I can boot my machine fine without the "init=/bin/systemd" line but I want to run a pure systemd system since Arch is moving to it anyway. In the wiki it mentions to install systemd-sysvcompat but it conflicts with initscripts it says. What am I doing wrong or missing?

Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

I've just bought a MacBook Pro The system won't recognise the serial number which I've copied very carefully several times from the underside of the computer
The helpline is closed Any ideas? I don't know what the operating system is - how do I find that out?

What are you trying to do?
The operating system can be found by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About this Mac"
Under "Mac OS X" should be the Version 10.6.x, clicking Software Update will update the operating system via the internet.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My system won't shut down

I have a 2.1GHz PowerPC G5 with OS X10.4.8 which is 16 month old. It worked fine until yesterday. Now It acts wierd in the following two ways:
First, the computer system won't shut down. When I click on Shut Down Button on the Screen, it won't shut down. Instead the screen shows the clock for ever unless I shut it down manually by pressing the Start button at the back of the computer.
Second, when I click on Software Update, it shows "Checking for new software..." window forever with the progress bar stuck at about one fifth.
Does any of you have a solution to these problems?

Welcome to the discussions.
