Advice required after power outrage

man where do i begin.
last week we had a power outrage where the supply in teh street came on and off around 23 times in less than 24 hours. I called Bt tech being the spped had dropped and was advised to reset the VDSL which I carried out at least 6 times which made the speed issue even worst.
I have ben advised to leave the conenction alone and the speed should pick up. This as not happen within the last 48 hours. I called tech support again and you just appear to get no wheer with them. They have ininformed me and really told me what i want to hear rather than the true situation. Anyway i understand the issue as now been placed with the level 2 desk who are due to call tuesday (tomorrow morning) would a IP profile reset be a good idea or best left? I jsut have little faith in what th tech folk are telling me.

Level 2 failed to call as promised this morning so I called them.
I cannot explain the total frsutration with the people in India they listen and just keep saying I know and sorry - this is simply not good enough. I dot want to hear sorry i want the issue resloved.
Again I was requested to run speed test -they carried out another line test. I STRIONGLY informed them I was VERY unhappy about resetting the two modem and they said they would be unable to assist if I did not. They messed about doing whatever they choose to do requesting further line speed test and resets. The line as expected as dropped further. I ve now been told its going across to the engineers.
When working fine I think BT offers a great service, but faults is the area which lets them down so VERY badly.
I asked about the VDSL being affected -she said if the VDSL had green lights displayed then it was fine.
They are messing around doing something I have been advised me to wait a further 24 hours when the line speed should improve.

IPad WEP password required after power off.

Hi,
On my ipad mini I am required to re-enter my WEP password after power off.
Why is this and how do I prevent it from happening?
This does not occur on my mbp or iphone 4s.
Thanks,
Rob.

Although it should work flawlessly, for some reason mobile devices don't always play nice with WEP. You're far better off with WPA2 (security-wise) anyway. If you have the ability to change your network's security, it might be easier to just get away from WEP than to try to make your mini work with it.

Reconfig required after power off

A week ago I changed my previous router by a new WRT54G. Old problems are gone, but unfortunately I got a new problem:
Each time the router is restarted (power off), I'm no longer able to connectwireless (Authorization, using WPA2 personal).
It needs always a wired connection first, then connect to the router setup:
Wireless - Wireless Security - Save Settings (without change). It looks like some settings are not saved correctly!!
Any help is highly appreciated.

Return the router. The new WRT54G hardware versions (v5, v6, v7, v8) are known for their various issues they have. Replace it with a WRT54GL which is the old hardware platform they have used for the first versions which work far more reliable.

Power reset required after sleep

Often when I put my iMac to sleep in the evening I find the system unresponsive when I come to use it the next day. I can see instantly that the system has an issue because I see that the screen backlight is on. The system does not react to any mouse or keyboard input and requires a power off reset to restart.
I thought that the issue may involve Parallels which is often running when I have this issue , however, I have spoken with Parallels support who recommended removing parallels, repairing the disk permissions and reinstalling Parallels which appears to have had no effect.
The iMac is very new and was purchased in November 2014 and is configured with a 3.5GHz i7 processor, 16GB or RAM 3TB HD and NVIDEA 980 graphics card.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I am relatively new to Mac architecture and I'm still finding my way around the OS.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I only sleep my iMac's display, never it or its HDs. Never have a problem. Give it a shot, hard resets will waste more juice and shorten its life than sleeping it, IMO.

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.
I have a Mac Mini running very latest version of OSX. I was making a recording with QuickTime; when I needed to plug in a USB recording device into the back of the Mac Mini, as I pulled the Mac off my shelf to do this, the power cable came out and the Mac lost power.
I plugged it back in and powered up the Mac. I get the grey screen with Apple logo and the spinning grey wheel; then it goes to a blue screen (as usual) and I get the "starting OSX..." progress bar. When the progress bar finishes, I'm left with a blue screen only, no dock, no apple icon at top left, nothing across the top, no nothing.
So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen.
I have another iMac G5 machine, so is there any way I can at least retrieve the important HD files from the Mac Mini to my G5, before throwing the broken Mac Mini away?
Can anyone advise please?

Hi, Nigel.
Not to differ with my colleagues here, but there's an important question that wasn't asked.
1. You wrote: "So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen."Did Disk Utility report any errors it could not fix when you ran Repair Disk? I suggest you run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. You may also want to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mini to be sure nothing shorted when the power cable was removed from the computer. I've seen it happen, hence I usually recommend removing the power cable at the wall before disconnecting the power cable from the computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
3. Repair Disk gives your Mini a clean bill of health, the blue screen may be the result of some Startup or Login item that was corrupted due to the sudden power outage. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem and may help you avoid and Archive and Install.
4. If you elect to go the Archive and Install route, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
5. As FYI, this is the kind of problem that makes one glad they've implemented a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. Computing without a comprehensive backup and recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance.
Good luck!

WRT54G Disconnects and REQUIRES a Power on Reset

My WRT54G disconnects once per day and requires a power on reset to get it back on line. It's version 6 with the most recent firmware.
After a wonderful chat session with Linksys this AM and then a subsequent email to Support, I've received NO satisfaction.
Anyone have a suggestion as to a solution???? I'm at my second warning and about to be banished!!!!
The router crashes each and every day and it seems to be DIRECTLY related to how much the kids use the wireless connection - you see they were gone for two weeks and there were NO (ZERO) crashes, they came home and started to use the wireless connectivity and BINGO, I'm pulling the plug on the WRT faster than OnnagokorO and his cohorts can edit/delte my posts.
Please, please tell me there's an answer.
(Edited a small part post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

To dtv --- my guess is that the kids are running some high bandwidth program that makes multiple simultaneous Internet connections. This tends to use a lot of memory in the router, causing it to crash. Many programs can cause this, but it is common in peer to peer networking programs, such as BitTorrent.
If this is the case, limit the number of simultaneous connections that BitTorrent can make.
Please also note that Linksys recently posted a firmware upgrade that should help with BitTorrent problems.

RE1000 power light blinking after power failure

I've tried the 8 sec reset and the 30-30-30 reset but can't get the light to stop blinking and so can't connect to the unit. It was working fine before the power went out. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue after a power outage today. I online live chat with an agent for about 15 minutes until he provided me three options all about that I would have to pay extra to get it replaced or fixed because mine was just out of warranty yesterday. I was lucky enough because mine RE1000 was not dead completely. I followed the instructions in this community and restored its service successfully.
Here is what I did.
1. Reset the extender by 30-30-30 method. The LED still blinked after reset.
2. Turned off wifi on my laptop and assign a static IP on my laptop: 192.168.1.x. Ping RE's default gateway 192.168.1.1 with an Ethernet connection. It returned good result.
3. Log on Web Admin Page and I was prompted to upload its firmware. Followed the screen instruction to upload the firmware that I already downloaded previously. Waited until everything was finished and it rebooted. Volla. It was back to life.
I guess it might have lost the firmware somehow after power failure. Is there a battery inside the extender to power the flash rom?
Here are few instructions I followed up:

Cisco/Linksys/Berkin, you **bleep**. It is not that easy to rob my money what I earn by hard work.
Thanks for all advice and good luck.

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
& the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
In any event, I'm done...
Good luck and happy trails...

Windows 8.1 desktop refresh required after closing mstsc

In Windows 8.1 Pro with Update (64-bit), in desktop mode, after closing the mstsc app (click X in title bar) during an mstsc session to a Window 7 Ent SP1 workstation, the contents of the mstsc window remain displayed and a desktop refresh (right-click->refresh
on the desktop) is required to refresh the desktop to clear the stale content from the display. This does not happen when using mstsc to connect to a legacy Win XP Pro workstation.
Video adapter is an integrated Intel P4600/P4700 with latest drivers provided my Microsoft Update (v10.18.10.3621) in multi-monitor (3 monitors) mode. The mstsc is only active on one monitor.
Anyone else seen this issue?

Monitor refresh rate (all 3 of them is set to 60hz). Only options on the primary display are 59 or 60Hz.
Setting the refresh rate to 59Hz produces same results. Setting back to 60Hz produces same results.
Sometimes part of the desktop on the monitor with the mstsc window needs to be refreshed, sometimes all of it under the mstsc windows needs to be refreshed, and sometimes, but rarely, the desktop never needs to be refreshed after closing mstsc to this specific
target.
The mstsc session is not a full screen session and is opened as per:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "<path to rdp file>.rdp" /w:2560 /h:1530
on a 30" display set for 2560x1600, 32bpp, 60Hz
To clarify, the specific issue manifests when I disconnect the session -- ie. clicking the X in the title bar, then clicking OK in the dialog "Your remote session will be disconnected". The "Your remote session will be disconnected" dialog
disappears (sometimes), and the mstsc windows title bar disappears but some or all of everything else that was inside the mstsc windows (from the remote system) remains displayed (even the mstsc bottom window border) until the desktop is refreshed.
I do note that if I set the mstsc session to full screen and then close/disconnect the session while it is in full screen, that the refresh required after disconnect issue does not manifest.
I am not sure if this is a functional issue in the mstsc client in Windows 8.1 (file version 6.3.9600.16384) or is more generally display/explorer specific. If the issue is broader, I am only noticing it with mstsc.
I've also updated to the latest Intel HD Graphics driver (rel: 2014-08-29) and no difference.

E4500 firmware corrupt after power outage

Latest firmware with CCC corrupted after power outage. I reseet the e4500 several times and tried to reload the firmware and still no good. Only way I got it back up is to install the older non-CCC version 2.37. Strange all was fine until the power outage. Not sure if I should even bother to upgrade to 2.38 again.

Yes, power outages may caused some damage either on the hardware or software of the any device especially if there's some activity going on inside the device the time of the interruption. If everything is fine with the old version then there's really no need to update it but if you've noticed some issues, better upgrade to the newer version so to fix any problems.

Dont want dependent requirement after MRP

hi all
I dont want dependent requirement after MRP?
means A is a header material and B.C are the component
after MRP run system should be created requirement of component item.
so wht r setting required?
plz guide me

Hi,
First you ask how can you carry out settings not to get DepReq for your components than you say system should create requirements for your components.
Please give a clearer picture of your situation and make your question more clearer.
How do you procure your goods (if you do not use MRP)?
If you do not want DepReq for your goods you can:
- remove them from the BOM (use them as text item, use design BOM - I do not know your situatio)
- you can set the MRP type in material master as 'ND' (not planned) (MM02 > MRP1)
Please give more information.
Thanks,
Csaba

Are Profiles and DBA Access to users required after MRCA is installed ?

Customer has installed oracle B2B through MRCA .
There are 4 questions that need to be answered.
Question 1
===========
We would like to know if the profiles and DBA access to users are required after MRCA is installed ?
Question 2
==========
If we remove these privileges will there be any impact to future Application Server upgrades, applying of patches ?
Question 3
============
There is a schema called BASEDEF with the two roles BASEAPP_ADMIN and BASEAPP_INSTANCE_ADMIN .
Please could you let us know the purpose of this schema and its usage ?
Question 4
============
Does the schema BASEDEF affects b2b in any manner ?
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Please find below answer of your questions-
1. Profiles are created automatically during installation and they are required for maintaining the functionality of B2B. DBA access to these profiles are not required.
2. If you revoke DBA access from the profiles, then it should not affect the functionality of B2B. Generally Patch scripts are run on account "b2b" and this account does not have dba access so there should be no problem due to access revoke.
Any DBA can answer your 3rd and 4th question.

Anuj

Mismatch between startup and running cofig after power up

Hi Experts,
I faced a strange issue today and looking for some inputs if somebody have faced this issue and any reaon for the same.
Problem
=======
Switch : 3560
IOS : c3560-i9-mz.122-20.SE1.bin
Today in my network there was a power down and we took the backup before that and also applied wr mem.
After power up we saw one config was lost "static route command" was missing
Then I did show config and also tried sh startup and saw that command was still there.
My question is after power up if something is there in startup config (nvram) is should be loaded to DRAM and come in running config but why "ip route " command did not came.
Looking for some valuable information and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ankur

Yes, I'm assuming it would happen in either case (static to interface or static to next-hop) because if the interface is down you wouldn't have a path (the effect is the same ... no path to the destination).
Is the link on that connection such that you could use portfast / uplinkfast (without risking a loop)?
To me, since you can do the 'copy start run' and it "takes," that the problem is that the interface is down, not initialized, or not available when the routes are being created from your start config.
It may also be that the other side of the connection is staying down during the switch boot & initialization. same thing, if spanning-tree portfast / uplinkfast can be implemented with little or no risk, give it a shot and see if it resolves the problem.
Good Luck
Scott
