Admins reply After 48+ Hours of Ag

?After reading about tia_dear thread about her mp3 problems and myslef adding to my problems about the visionm ,We now get an a Administrator also adding to tia_dears?thread . Catherina -cl says?( Sorry to hear you were having problems with your Creative product, but this is not the place to talk about iPods, I'm sure you can find a more suitable forum to do that on.)?I think Catherina? you should be a british politician as you seen to have skipped over the the problem tia_dear has and try to help out with creatives products that seem clearly faulty , martin

I'm sure she did, but I can only do so much as a moderator. We pay our tech support agents on the phones and on email to help people who need that TLC. If no one here can help her out, I hope she at least sends us an email. I realize not everyone here cares for our tech support, but once again, most of the people here came here because they weren't happy with us for one reason or another. The vast majority of those who call tech support don't come here. I have seen the numbers on how many people call tech support every day, and far FAR less people come to this forum. It's only natural that those who have a bad experience are going to go somewhere where they can vent and get angry, and unfortunately that's usually here, in the forum, where I can't do much about it other than direct them back to Customer Support where they can be helped (usually by someone different than who they talked to before), or hope someone here knows a solution.
And really, most of my personal knowledge of these products is written down in the KnowledgeBase, so there's no sense in me trying to duplicate it here. I just hope my sticky made it easier for people with connection problems here find the articles they needed.
Edit: And just to let everyone know, if I see a customer fix here that works semi-consistently, I do report it for our own testing and often they are added to the Knowledgebase and even our tech support solution list. No sense in wasting a good solution just because a CL employee didn't think of it first.

  • Changed (renamed) device name in Intune app on iOS device. This change is not showing up in the admin portal, even after 24 hours

    Hi,
    I am trying to update a mobile devices names.  Initially, I changed the iOS device name (Settings->General->About->Name) and then I also renamed the device in the Intune app on the device.  Neither of these changes are propagating through
    to the admin portal, even after 24 hours.  Is there anything else I should be doing for this to work?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Simon.

    I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine.  Is there some other place
    that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
    Thanks!

  • IIS Admin Service Disabled on all SCCM 2012 Distribution Points Automatically After few Hours

    Hi !
    Internet Information Services (IIS) is getting Disabled automatically on all of our SCCM 2012 Distribution Points after few Hours.
    Please help and share configuration steps.
    Thank you.

    That's not something ConfigMgr does. Examine eventlog and see if there are GPOs or whatever is disabling it.

  • Safari freezes after several hours of use on Macbook pro

    I just bought a Macbook Pro.  When using safari, it freezes at least once a day to a point I can't force quit, and had to do a hard shut down.  I've figured out that if I am using my computer and safari for more than a couple of hours, Safari just freezes.  An apple support representative did mention that laptops were not meant to be constantly on, so I have been shutting it down when not in use.  Still, I shouldn't have to shut down after an hour just to keep Safari from freezing. 
    Does this sound normal?  Is there an easy fix?  Do I need to look at getting this computer replaced?  Or should I download a better web browser?
    I'm also new to Mac, and thought switching from a windows would mean better reliability.  So far I have been unimpressed with my computer.  I just want it to work without worrying about having to force it to shut down once a day.  Thanks for your help!

    Does this sound normal?
    No, of course not.
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

    Hi everyone...
    My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
    Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
    Following are the settings/options selected:
    1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
    2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
    3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
    Following are the temps and rpms:
    Temps:
    HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
    CPU A: 117
    Airport Card: 151 F
    Ambient: 83 F
    GPU: 133 F
    GPU Diode: 137 F
    GPU Heatsink: 137 F
    HD Bay1: 124 F
    Mem Controller: 121 F
    Optical Drive: 110 F
    Power supply1: 162 F
    Fans:
    CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
    Hard Drive: 1199rpm
    Optical Drive: 998rpm
    One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
    Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
    You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

    Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
    When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
    If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.
    The following article is good for troubleshooting issues and you may wish to bookmark it.

  • Can i use a blocked apple id after 8 hours of waiting?

    Can i use a blocked apple id for i tunes purchasing after 8 hours of waiting.

    This isn't a live chat forum, if you were thinking that it was. You post your question, providing as much detail as you can, and then wait for one of us, who are mostly your fellow users, to see and read your question and offer suggestions. Such a reply may not arrive for a couple of hours or more depending on your question, so you'll need to be patient. You're almost never going to get a reply only a minute after you first post.
    As to your question, what do you mean by "blocked"? "Blocked" how? And what leads you to believe that if the Apple ID has been blocked or disabled that it would somehow reactivate after 8 hours? Were you told by Apple Support that it would?

  • Playlist Broadcaster problems after 24 hours

    I have a simple video (MPEG4 video/AAC audio) that continually loops. It seems that after 24 hours, when the video is access in QuickTime Player or the plugin in a web page that the audio will drop out but the video continues to play OR the video will freeze and and audio continues to play.
    Both Windows and Macs exhibit the same symptoms. If I am live sreaming everything works fine, only when I use Playlists.
    If I stop and start the playlist this does not occur. Any thoughts?
    BYW, is there a way to automatically start a playlist if it has been stopped due to reboot of the computer.
    Dan

    I completely understand. No rest for the weary. LOL
    Just as a level set, let me do a summary of what is happening and what has been try up to this point.
    1) Wireless Clients are frequently disconnecting. How long after a reboot before it starts happening again? Are the Sony Vaio and Surface Pro the only victims, or does it happen to everyone? Are wireless NIC drivers up to date?
    2) 5GHz was disable to see if 2.4 Ghz was still affected and it was. Did you try the opposite?
    3) session and broadcast key length to 0.
    4) Set wireless channels to a static channel rather than auto.
    5) Disabled bandwidth utilization and currently monitoring
    6) In one statement you said "When we started troubleshooting it looked as if disabling the 5Ghz radio or switching it over to WAP-Personal would stop this from happening. We'd really like to have it working on WPA-enterprise though." If you use WPA Personal for all encryption and not WPA-enterprise does the unit work correctly? If this is only happening to enterprise, have you looked at any of the radius server logs during the disconnections? As a test, if there is no encryption, do they still disconnect?
    From this point, We may need to look at some packet captures and also doing some wireless scans of your area, just to rule out any interference. You can do the packet trace right from the WAP which is very handy. Also just to cover this and not let any little thing slip by.... What kind of area are the WAPs located in? Office, Warehouse, Residential? Are they out in the open or located in a closet, etc......
    Are you using vlans or any other special features, Captive portal, Single Point setup? (Do you have one or more WAPs?)
    While a client is disconnecting frequently, pull the diagnostic file. Go to GUI, Admin, Support Info, click download.

  • I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups and it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

    I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule to use with my Mac running latest Maverics. After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups from my small driveand it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

    I overcame the permissions by allowing both paths to have read and write access to anyone but that didnt solve it until I copied it into the DATA directory which I created on the Airport Time Capsule.
    I had already discovered the TIME MACHINE How to transfer backups but I am struggling still with the item and cannot currently get it to work. My setup seems to have created a wireless link to my router which is what I wanted and in that set up there are three options. I have simply gone for the extension of my network. I ignored the other option there which I cannot remember something like DNS? That may be the problem becasuse when I remove the Ethernet connector it just doesnt go anywhere.
    I have also found I cannot update my TIME MACHINE software (currently 1.3) as although Apple tell me I should be able to set backups hourly daily or weekly I have only ever been able to run it hourly when i would prefer longer intervals so thought an update might be necssary.
    Also tried to get an update for my Airport Utility (Currently 6.3.2 but cannot find one even though I have read there might be one available and again this might be the problem.
    Have reset the Time Capsule now about a dozen times.
    Following the instructions and trying to copy my existing backup it suggests you need to copy it to the root directory but that is when I get some sort of security issue and I found I could only get it to accept if I dragged my .backupdb to the DATA directory on the Time Capsule. I dont even know if I do this it will work when I come to use it.
    I therefore found your reply of no more help than i had discovered but I hope you return to read this note because I really do need some help.
    I am intending starting again in the next couple of days and fully documenting what I do and what I see and then as I suspect it will be no different and I will then seek an appointment at the Apple Store in Trafford Centre and if that proves unsuccessful then I still have time to return and become a dissatisfied customer with Apple for the first time in a long experience with Apple. I have noticed frightening notes on the conversations which point to problems of Mavericks working with Airport Time Machine!! So in the end it might not be me doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you do feel left out in the dark sometimes that is why I hope you can respond with a solution?

  • Mac Mail deletes messages after 24 hours

    Mac Mail started deleting my messages after 24 hours 6 days ago. I believe this is a OSX Lion issue as I run 10.8.2 on my main machine (iMac 27 Dec 2010) but I also have an old iMac G5 (2005) running OS X 10.5.8, and on ths machine my messages are not deleted. An additional problem is that new messages to all accounts remain marked as unread for less than an hour on the new machine but remained marked unread until they are read on the old machine. My sent messages are not deleted.
    I use a private email address from my own domain for all of my emails, except for a very few on BTinternet and Yahoo adresses. My webmail for my domain also is having emails deleted after 24 hours. I have spoken to the domain host customer care (very helpful) but they cannot spot the issue. And as it doesn't happen with OS X 10.5.8 it seems to me that it cannot be either the host or my current provider BT. However, I have only switched to BT recently and this deletion problem only started once their service was fully up and operating ( which was a long and messy process leaving me utterly disenchanted with BT).
    I also have an iPhone 4S using iOS6 which doesn't delete but also doesn't show new messages as unread on my private domain address. On the iPhone new messages to my BT and Yahoo accounts show as unread.
    I have time machine running with an external hard drive so I can see old messages there but thats a laborious procedure and the whole thing is doing my head in. Anyone got any explanations or, better still, solutions.

    Tim Cutting wrote:
    Thanks for a very quick reply - and this is how this mailbox is set up.
    I have also had a bit of help and advice from a knowlegable friend and he thinks the source of the deletions may be that the account is an IMAP account on the new machine and my iphone but a POP3 accont on my old machine. I have turned off the old machine to see if this changes the behaviours on the other machines.
    This is a very good start.

  • Poor performance on admin console after adding 1k+ teams and member profile

    We run v7sp3p2 (MS) now but even back on v5.1 see degraded performance in form of response times over 60 seconds when browsing security hierarchy in admin console after adding over 1000 teams and member access profiles.  We need the granularity in access for our many users.  Does anyone know any tricks to prevent the glacial and disappointing response times while maintaining the necessary security?  This behavior reflects poorly on the product's scalability.
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Sorin, I want to make sure I understand your recommendation.
    First, we do have more than 1000 users.  Each location has a unique team to which their users belong, and each of these teams has a member access profile with corresponding read/write access to the dimension member representing their location.  The users at each location only view data for their own location.
    Is your recommendation to use another interface besides the admin console for accomplishing security updates?
    We have a custom package that uses an API to upload data files with mass updates to security assignments and definitions, but hesitate to use this method for mundane changes for add/remove/change just a few users as this method bypasses the domain validation we get on the front end wherein we can only add users to the domain they correctly belong to.
    To dodge the risk of a bad user/domain matchup we'd like to use front end but it appears to not support our scale well.
    Thoughts on a setting or configuration we could manipulate to resolve the poor performance would be great - what levers can we pull?  If this is all the tool can support we just live with it and pay the cost in wasted man hours over the life of the product...
