Adding firewire device takes host device off-line

I've been daisy-chaining FW drives with successfully since I've had a G4, and now a G5. Lately though, if I daisy chain a FW drive to another, the drive that was online unmounts, and I get the "improper shutdown" prompt. This happens both with a newer drive, and with an older FW800 drive that I've been using for some time.
Wy does this happen, what does it mean, and what can I do about it?
G5 1.8 DP Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Take audio blade off line on 3545?

Greetings,
How do I place the audio blade off line?
I am upgrading my development MeetingPlace servers to from v7.0 to v7.1. I have upgraded the application and web server. Reading the documentation states to take the audio blade off line but I don't see how to do it on my 3545. The Cisco documentation states:
Step 1 Sign in to the Media Server Administration for the Hardware Media Server.
Step 2 Select Resource Management > MCU from the left panel.
Step 3 Select the name of an Audio Blade.
Step 4 Perform one of the following actions:
•To bring the Audio Blade online, select online.
•To bring the Audio Blade offline, select offline and either enter a date to bring the Audio Blade online or check Permanently to keep the Audio Blade offline permanently.
Step 5 Select OK.
Here is a screenshot from our mcu.

Beth,
On the MP app server web page, Click on Media server administration (it is on the top right corner)
You will be redirected to another page. Click on 'Resource Management' from the options on the left to follow the above steps.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Time Capsule off-line

I have an iMac which is connected to my Time Capsule via cable, plus a MacBook Pro with a wireless connection. When I tried to get the MacBook Pro to communicate with the TC, it had to take the TC off-line as part of the process. Now the TC won't re-start -- amber flashing light rather than green steady light. I have tried turning power to TC off and then on again to no avail.

Open AirPort Utility and click on the yellow button to find out what the error message is. If it has to do with your broadband connection, TC will flash amber. I assume the WAN port of the Time Capsule is connect to your broadband modem. Try restarting your modem.

Despite adding more storage = 20GB my devices tell me that I can not take any photos/video, why would this be?

Despite adding more storage = 20GB my devices tell me that I can not take any photos/video, why would this be?

Because the issue is that you don't have sufficient available space on your phone, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud account. Adding storage in iCloud does not give you more space on your phone.
You can check your available space by going to Settings>General>Usage. You'll need to delete or sync some data off your phone to freee up more space.

Mail in 10.7.5 suddenly off line on all my devices....HELP

iMac (24-inch Early 2008) running OS 10.7.5
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010) running OS 10.7.5
iPad 2 (wifi) running iOS 6.1.3
iPad 4 (wifi) running iOS 6.1.3
Here's the problem. I have internet connection. But suddenly today all my devices are off line in Mail.
Have re-set my dsl modem multiple times.
Ran Connection Doctor and got red lights on all 4 of my mail accounts (iCloud, 2x verizon addresses, and a work email address)
Checked all the settings and as far as I can figure, the are what I have been using.
EXCEPT......when I open the EDIT OUTGOING SERVER area of the Mail preferenced for my iCloud account, it choses my work account server. I re-set and save it. But it's right back to the wrong server when I go back to check. WHAT"S UP with that??????
Anybody have any insights into this problem?
Yes, I can get my email on the individual websites, but that means signing on and off of 4 websites every 15 minutes or so. Not gonna work.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Signed,
Tearing my hair out

Hello Snappi,
Thank you for all the information you provided about what is going on with Mail on all your Apple Devices. I found an article with steps that I think might help.
I recommend reviewing the article, but I found some steps that sound like they apply specifically to what you are experiencing in the section titled "Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column>Click here if your Incoming and Outgoing email account settings are correct, but the issue persists>Click here if a 'Could not connect to this (server type) server…' message appears":
Click here if a "Could not connect to this (server type) server…" message appears
Check for third-party firewall software
Third-party firewall software, such as Little Snitch or Symantec Norton Personal Firewall, could be blocking the necessary ports. If such software is installed, make sure the firewall is not blocking these ports:
ports 25, 465, and 587 (for sending email via SMTP)
ports 143 and 993 (if you use IMAP email)
ports 110 and 995 (if you use POP email)
If you're not sure how to enable the correct ports, try disabling the third-party firewall completely, then test for the Mail issue. Note: The Mac OS X v10.6 firewall does not interfere with ports needed to send email.
Check for Internet Service Provider port blockingYour Internet Service Provider may be blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email.You can use Apple's MobileMe service to find out if your Internet Service Provider is blocking the sending email protocol SMTP:
Open Network Utility in the Utilities folder—in Finder, choose Go > Utilities (or press Shift-Command-U).
Click the "Port Scan" tab.
Enter "smtp.me.com" in the "Enter an Internet or IP address to scan for open ports" field.
Enable "Only test ports between _ and _", and enter 25 for both port fields.
Click "Scan" to test.
If you do not see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", contact your Internet Service Provider or visit their support website for further assistance. If you do see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", your Internet Service Provider is not blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email. Go to the "'Trying to log in to this (email server provider name) account failed…' message or any other error message appears" section below if the email issue persists.

How do I save files to my mobile device for off-line use?

I want to download my files to my iPad for reference when the device is off-line. Can this be done through Adobe.com

OK, I just tested this out and it appears that once you open the file while on-line, it is downloaded automatically and available off-line from that point on.
Not sure if subsequent highlighting will sync, but I will give it a test run as well.
If anyone knows an easy way to open multiple files instead of doing each one individually, that would be great.
Thank you in advance.

TS4006 Lost my I touch . Cannot find it anywhere, when finding on find my iPhone app, it shows your device is off line, shall play sound or notify once it's connected to wifi

Lost my Itouch month ago. Tried finding using find my iPhone app. It shows your device is off line. Will play sound or notify when online. Can I locate the position or location of my Itouch without connections to wifi or even if it's switched off or betters is total drained off

No, FindMyiPhone only only reports it current position

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.

- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

How do you take a device off your appleID?

How do take a device off your apple ID? I went to a iphone5 from the iphone3. She is getting my old iphone3. We simply want to clear "me" from the 3 and get her set-up with her own apple ID and apps. So what do I do?

Connect her 3g to itunes, click the restore button, and restore as new, this will wipe the phone clean. Then sign into itunes with her new apple id that you will need to create by doing it here.
https://appleid.apple.com
Then you can go to settings in the iphone, itunes and appstore, tap on sign in with apple id and sign in with her new apple id.
Everything will be hers then.

I got robbed in Aruba and they stole my daughters iphone. Need help locating it. I went on line and icloud states device is off line.

I went to Aruba on vacation and they stole all my stuff including my daughters iphone. I went to icloud but it states all devices are off line. Can you please help.

iCloud (http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device) are the only way that you might be able to try and locate it. What iOS version was on it ? If it was on iOS 7 then they won't be able to reset it without your password.
I assume that you've reported it to the police (?). You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Do apple devices take priority (in bandwidth) over non-Apple devices?

When I use even 1 of my Apple devices at home, my housemate's PC slows down or even freezes. When I use a PC laptop, it also slows down or freezes, until I turn off all of my Apple devices. (I have an iMac, iPad, iPhone and iPod.)
My housemate says she heard that Apple devices "hog" the bandwidth, i.e., take priority over non-Apple devices. I didn't want to believe this, but after doing some experiments with shutting my devices off and on, while using a PC, it kinda looks like she is right.
My questions:
1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)

1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
It is often reported.. but this kind of thing has been going on since wireless came along.. partly due to how many different manufacturers we have of wireless gear.. and the fact they all make stuff according to the code IEEE produce (cough, gollum, gollum!!) with their own little gidgets on side.
Apple systems are propriety.. they are designed to work with apple products.. and maybe windows.. as long as they don't use intel wireless cards or realtek or some others.. and the drivers are compatible.. and the moon is full and you hold your tongue on the left side of your cheek.
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
Yes, it is very simple.. buy a $30 TP-Link wireless N-Lite router and use it as an AP plugged into your apple router.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)
Has nothing to do with ISP.. but if you already have a wireless router gateway from your ISP use the wireless on that for your housemate.

Printer prints but display says Communication lost (device - control panel); Turn off then on.

HP Color LaserJet CM3530fs
The printer is printing when asked to do so by a computer but the display says:
Error
Communication lost (device <-> control panel); Turn off then on.
The orange attention light is illuminated and the display is always lit and shows the statement above.
It does not improve when switched off and on or power disconnected for long periods or pushing reset button at rear of unit.
Embedded web server works normally and thinks that all is ok.
Buttons on control panel do nothing. eg. I cannot photocopy or scan.
The printer is about 2 years old but gets very light use in a family home.
Please help
Thank you.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.
