Another User with HND Problems

I've just installed my WRT610N router today and used LELA for setup. When I went to set up HND I installed Network Magic as I found in instructions on the Linksys web site. I was able to do the initial setup of HND, however, when I went in latter to adjust settings, I received a notice that my subscription expired (I thought it was supposed to be 30 days, not about 30 minutes) and I was asked if I wanted to purchase it. Since I've only just begun trying to set it up, I wasn't sure if I wanted it yet, although it was the primary driver behind purchasing the new router. I still thought I should see if it met my needs to protect my kids while on the Internet. In any event, I did not purchase it at that time and I had to step away for a few hours to do something else. Upon returning I've tried to continue where I left off, but now I get the message that HND is registered to another account and it won't let me change the settings (at least it no longer asks me to purchase it while I'm still in the trial period).
I noticed on this forum that some people indicated they used LELA to configure HND so I uninstalled Network Magic and reinstalled LELA, but I cannot see any way to configure or control HND in LELA. I therefore reinstalled Network Magic and am still getting the same message. I have looked on the Linksys web site but don't see a link for live chat for support as some users have indicated they used, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong either in trying to get support or trying to get HND configured.
This is a very frustrating set up process for a feature that will cost almost $60 to purchase and I'm also concerned that Linksys seems to push purchase of another $50 product (Network Magic Pro) to manage it. But right now, I'd just like to get HND configured so I can move forward with seeing if it will do what I need it to do.
Please help!
Thanks.

I was able to get a live chat session with Linksys and they had me install the latest version of LELA. This version of LELA did have the ability to access the HND parental controls, however, now when I log in, it inidcates the license for HND expired on December 26, 2008. Since I recently purchased the router and installed it on 8/19/2009, I don't understand how the 30 day trial license could expire 8 months before I got the router.
A second session with live chat had me reset the router, which did not work (drastic last resort as I indicated to the chat support agent since it would require reconfiguration of the router to work again) I didn't think it would work as I believed the license information is in some account somewhere.
Can anyone help as I'd like to start testing HND to see if it will do what I hope it will and right now it does nothing.
Thanks.

Another user with publishing problems -- proof that it is .Mac related

Just before Christmas I started getting the dreaded "Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac" message every time I published. I read all the previous posts, even the ones dating back to October. I think I can conclusively show that the problem is on the .Mac backend, and not at all on my computer. Here is what I did: first, I created a temporary .Mac account; second, I moved my Domain file for safe keeping and did not replace it; third, I logged into the Guest User account that is now available in Leopard. I then attempted to publish a single page website from iWeb from both my normal login and the guest login to both my normal .mac account and the temporary one. (To switch between .Mac accounts I used the system preferences panel when iWeb was not running). The results are as follows:
.......................Regular .Mac.......Temporary .Mac
Normal Login..Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
Guest Login.....Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
This tells me that there is no problem on my computer, or with my network connection, and the problem is squarely on the .Mac side of things.
I sent this message off to the standard help page, and got the standard form letter back. In reply I asked them to reset my .Mac account so it would appear "new". I'll see what they say.
It would be interesting to see how many other people with "publish" problems can repeat this test.
-=[doug]=-

I've done what appears to be the standard littany of things:
1) Confirmed that I am running the latest version of iWeb (2.02) on 10.5.1 (although the problem persists when using my backup of 10.4.10 that includes the ilife update)
2) Changed my .Mac password, even though it was less than 20 characters
3) Published all of my previous website to the temp .mac (in chunks to avoid the space limitations)
4) Successfully published my site to a folder
5) Successfully uploaded that folder to my iDisk
6) Attempted to republish and republish all multiple times
7) Deleted iWeb's plist
8) rebooted
9) logged out and back into my .Mac account
10) confirmed that there is no password protection on my site
11) confirmed that there are no comments on my site
12) deleted assets.[membername].plist from the Domain file
13) Confirmed that my password in Keychain is correct
14) Run Keychain First Aid
15) deleted Sites.RSS from my iDisk
16) deleted the website and index.html from the iDisk
So, I have done a fair amount of ground work here, and am not just spouting off against Apple/.Mac. However, I still claim that the fact that I can successfully publish to a temporary .Mac account while the exact same iWeb content fails when being published to my normal .Mac account implies that there is something wrong with my .Mac account -- it is almost as if Apple is trying to eliminate its paying customers (since there are no problems with the free account).

Another user with login problems to forums

I didn't want to jump into either of these threads with "me too and..."
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=366881&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=366684&tstart=0
but me too and...
Whenever I come directly to the discussion boards by typing in discussions.apple.com in Safari (1.3.2) address bar OR typing support.apple.com and then clicking the discussions link (in the purple bar) I'm greeted as guest. I click login and Safari helpfully fills in the details then several things happen (no pattern found yet).
1. I'm prompted for my login again and told the user name or password was wrong. It will then accept the next autofill by Safari. Forums function normally.
2. It greets me "Welcome Marlinespike" in the sidebar and prompts me to login again. Clicking any other link (e.g. My Questions, or iTunes) takes me to the forums and I'm not prompted again. Forums function normally.
3. It greets me "Welcome Marlinespike" in the sidebar and says "you only have read (or was it guest?) privileges and presents me with a page to create an account. Ditto 2 in that I can click anywhere and bypass the "please make an account".
The problem occurs every time I navigate to the forums home. If I leave SAfari running but close all windows, it'll happen.
I don't know if this is related to recently getting Safari 1.3.2. My Safari was 1.2 until last week. This login issue has only started for me in the past week. Also, I can click a link in the forums and will get a 404 not found error, but if I refresh the page (CMD-R), I get it.

FYI, since downgrading my OS back to X.3.8 and Safari to 1.2 I've not had any login difficulties yesterday or today. Also have not had any threads "not found" to be found upon refreshing. Perhaps there's some weird java thing going on with the forum logins that affects SAfari 1.3?

Another user with applet problems

I have a (should be simple) learning application that makes a window 400x400 pixels in size and fills it with random noise continuously. This works fine when run with the java command line, but when included in a html page I get these errors;
bq. load: Engine.class can't be instantiated. \\ java.lang.InstantiationException: Engine \\ at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:340) \\ at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:779) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:708) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:362) \\ at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
(in browsers this causes a lock-up, with the appletviewer it simply shows the errors)
My code is based heavily on this example file;
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/images/examples/JumbledImageApplet.java
which as I understand it allows it to run as both an application and an applet without changes
My code is...
bq. import java.io.; // Edit: These first few lines all end in a star, but the forum's treating that as bold syntax so I've removed it\\ import java.net.; \\ import java.awt.; \\ import java.awt.event.; \\ import java.awt.image.; \\ import javax.imageio.; \\ import javax.swing.; \\ import java.util.Random; \\ public class Engine extends JApplet { \\ private static int w = 400; \\ private static int h = 400; \\ private Canvas canvas; \\ private static Engine holder; \\ private static BufferedImage bi; \\ public static void doProcess( BufferedImage bi ) { \\ Random rand = new Random(); \\ while( true ) { \\ for( int i = 0; i < 1000; i ++ ) \\ bi.setRGB( rand.nextInt( w ), rand.nextInt( h ), rand.nextInt( 0xFFFFFF ) ); \\ render( ); \\ } \\ } \\ public Engine( int ww, int hh ) { \\ w = ww; \\ h = hh; \\ } \\ public void init( ) { \\ buildUI( ); \\ bi = getBI( ); \\ doProcess( bi ); \\ } \\ public void buildUI( ) { \\ canvas = new Canvas( w, h ); \\ add( canvas ); \\ } \\ public BufferedImage getBI( ) { \\ return canvas.getBI( ); \\ } \\ public static void main( String s[] ) { \\ JFrame f = new JFrame( "Processing..." ); \\ f.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter( ) { \\ public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) { \\ System.exit( 0 ); \\ } \\ } ); \\ holder = new Engine( w, h ); \\ holder.buildUI( ); \\ holder.resize( w, h ); \\ f.add( holder ); \\ f.pack( ); \\ f.setResizable( false ); \\ f.setVisible( true ); \\ bi = holder.getBI( ); \\ doProcess( bi ); \\ } \\ public static void render( ) { \\ holder.repaint( ); \\ } \\ } \\ class Canvas extends Component { \\ private BufferedImage bi; \\ int w, h; \\ public Canvas( int ww, int hh ) { \\ w = ww; \\ h = hh; \\ bi = new BufferedImage( w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB ); \\ } \\ public BufferedImage getBI( ) { \\ return bi; \\ } \\ public Dimension getPreferredSize( ) { \\ return new Dimension( w, h ); \\ } \\ public void paint( Graphics gwin ) { \\ gwin.drawImage( bi, 0, 0, null ); \\ } \\ }
I'm new to the Java language and as I say this is based on an example file, so any cleanup recomendations are welcome (I think this is the most complicated way of setting pixels on a window I've ever seen!)
Edited by: DavidJE on Sep 19, 2007 9:58 AM

ok, I found the problem;
my Engine class only had an (int,int) constructor, and it seems the applet viewer doesn't like that. Adding an empty () constructor fixes it.
There are some new problems now, but I think I'll be able to solve them.

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

Can I create another User with user privileges in RV042 V3?

Hello to all, good day!
I am just wondering if it is possible to have two user accounts in Cisco RV042 V3 (Firmware:
v4.1.1.01-sp (Dec 6 2011 20:03:18). User accounts to mean that one user can access the router with an administrative level access can do all the changes and management of the router's configurations and settings while another user can only do viewing of the system summary tab and connect and manage the simple configuration to connection to the ISP in both WANs, like setting up the connection type and release/renew the ip address for dynamic ip assigned by the ISP DHCP server.
Thank you.

RV042 only supports one administrator account with the current firmware. Newer products such as RV110W and RV220W support multiple user accounts.

Create new user like another user with select privilege???

our user requested create another user similar to "apps" , but only "selec t" privilege to "apps" objects and other user's objects which grant to "apps".
In this case they can use tool login and do some work.
Does anyone know how to "create a new user like APPS", bur only copy APPS "select" privilege to this new user?
Thanks.

One User gets error Message saving an Incident, another user with the same rigthts not

Hi there,
We have a user sometimes getting an error message (see beyond) when saving an Incdient eg. only modified the descrition field. The user is able to create, update and resolve all other incidents. The user also may have changed this incident before.
When we use an other user with the same rigths, this user is allowed to modify the description field (and others)
We tested: The behavoir does not change for the first user, after the second user changed something.
It's not the workflow for the first assigned to date
No other user tries to use this incidents
We have a custom field, but it is not used in this case (so I know Romans SQL

Had a "powershell look" at the incident, but I did not see something "special" about this incident.
Anyone an idea, where to look at?

Yet Another iPod Touch user with WIFI problem

I have Linksys WRT54GS wifi router setup at home. I use four notebooks, one mac mini and one mobile phone (Nokia N80) without any problem on my wifi network.
The only problem is with my brand new iPod Touch 16GB (firmware: 1.1.2 3B48b - no jailbreak). It always shows an error "Unable to join the network 'MY-SSID-NAME'". I have tried to change SSID, change security settings (WPA, WEP, no security, ...) - but nothing helped. All other devices (notebooks, macmini and phone) always worked like a charm.
iPod worked only once - the first time I used it (after buying). Since then it does not. I have tried all resets, Restore in iTunes, ...
I think it might be a bug in firmware. Please help someone.
BTW: How (an where) can I report a bug to Apple ?

Just like many others, I bought Ipod Touch in Christmas and felt frustrated about surfing the net. I have read many posts in the forum. And I have tried many methods suggested by others to try to figure out the problems. Finally I have solved the problem and I want to share some ideas with others.
Steps of Checking:
(1) Check whether you have a wireless network at home or at work. Check whether the network is security protected or not. If it is, better ask the admininistrator (at home, the admin should be the one who bought the wireless router.) for password.
(2) Check the latest firmware upgrade for the wireless router (in my case, I use Linksys WRT54G. After I upgraded the firmware, my ipod touch could get the necessary IP from the router.)
(3) For the wireless router, better broadcast the SSID for the first time so that the IPod Touch can find it easily. I use WPA2-Personal Encryption AES (though many buddies here point out that WEP, WPA or even no security is also okay). I even set the MAC filtering and the Ipod Touch still works fine!(though you need to input the MAC address of your Ipod Touch to the MAC filtering table in the admin page of your router. the MAC address of Ipod Touch can be found in the Ipod Touch general information. There is a string like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(4) To mininimize the interference from neighbouring wireless networks, better try the connection near the wireless router.
(5) If you have tried for several times and failed to connect, you may reset the router by powering off for 15 seconds and reset the network configuration of the Ipod.
I have used Compag IPAQ before and I must say that for those tiny toys with Wifi capability, the connection is not that stable. However, I find that using the Ipod Touch to watch Youtube video is very good and the speed is excellent!
The steps suggested above are not exclusive. There are too many factors which influence the performance of Wifi. Hope you will succeed and enjoy the Ipod Touch in the New Year 2008!

Another HP user with audio problem (dv6119us)

I'm not holding my breath for a solution, since HP seems to not care. I have a DV6119us that came with XP but is listed as "Vista Compatable". HP even sent me a spiffy new disk of Vista. Since installing Vista, I do not get sound from my speakers. The headphones and external speakers work, but nothing from the internal speakers.
I've Googled, and researched 'til I'm almost blind. Yes, I've searched these forums. I see similar questions as mine, but no answers. I've spent hours with dolts from HP support who have me doing the same thing; uninstall driver, reinstall, delete this, goof with that, update BIOS, jump through this hoop, cram a chop stick in your eye and spin it like an aboriginal trying to start a fire on a frosty mornning. I've wiped the drive and done fresh installs, sprinkled holy water, you name it, all useless.
For some reason, HP is silent with regards this issue. I suspect that HP basically sold a bunch of laptops as "Vista capable" that are, in fact NOT "Vista capable" and as far as HP is concerned, it's tough luck.

How to sync apps to other iPhone, logged into Mac as another user, with same Apple ID for Store.

Hi,
I'll try to be brief.
Synced my (old) iPhone 4 to my iTunes library, as normal.
Restored contents of iTunes library to my new iPhone 5. Everything worked fine here.
Performed full factory reset of iPhone 4 before allocating for my wife's use.
Created a new user account on my iMac for my wife (to keep things separate).
Created a new Apple ID specifically for my wife, so her iMessages, Contacts, Calendar etc. are all separate from mine.
Moved iTunes library to area that is common to both users (Can't remember exactly, it's something under /users/Shared, I think. I followed a post in these forums.)
Pointed my iTunes library to this location (logged in as me). My iTunes library works fine.
Pointed my wife's iTunes library to this location (logged in as my wife).
Set my wife's iTunes to use the same Apple ID as I use in the iTunes Store. Again, I followed a forum posting. The reason that I did this was to allow me sync purchased content to both iPhones.
Manually imported music folders from under /users/Shared into my wife's iTunes library. (This music syncs successfully with my wife's/my old iPhone 4.)
However, the problem is that all the Apps that I 'purchased' (inc. free apps) and downloaded from the iTunes Store to my iTunes library previously do not appear in my wife's iTunes library (Apps tab) and do not sync to her iPhone 4.When I go to the iTunes Store, apps that I have previously purchased with my Apple ID appear with a 'Download' button underneath, as opposed to 'Purchase' or 'Install'—this confirms that by using my Apple ID, my wife's iTunes library knows what purchases I've made. This is as you would expect.
Can anyone explain why the apps do not appear in my wife's iTunes' App tab?
Anyone got a solution?
I thought I was going about things the right way by setting her up as a separate user on my iMac, creating her own Apple ID for everything except iTunes Store purchases, and using my Apple ID for connecting to the iTunes Store.
Apologies that I don't have the links to the relevant forum postings that I used as my guides.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tx.

I have read wjosten's post on this thread but I don't think that is exactly the scenario I'm describing, nor is it what I'd like to have to do (sign my wife out, sign me in transfer/update apps, sign me out, sign me in).
That's the whole reason that I've configured her iTunes library to use my Apple ID. It should, I would have hoped, allow the apps bought on my Apple ID (that we both use in our respective iTunes libraries) to seamlessly, automatically appear in her iTunes library, and update when appropriate, for that matter.

Another user with thousands of missing songs aqgain

Before I start, I've looked at the many threads related to this topic and none of them contain a good answer. I'm using the latest version of iTunes for Windows (11.0.a1.12) and subscribe to the iCloud. This has happened to me before and I spend hours, sometime days, manually locating each song.
This time around, I was running out of space on my C:\ drive and copied the entire iTunes Media Folder (90gb) to a 1TB external drive. This went fine and it is identical to the original which is located under Users\Owner\Music\iTunes. All of the folders are there and all of the music is organized by track/album/artist just like in the default location. All of the songs are physically there also. Then, I went to Edit Preferences / Advanced in iTunes and changed the location of the iTunes Media Location.
As you can guess, iTunes can no longer find about 50% of the songs (I'd understand it if it were 100%). I can do the manual locate 1 by 1 which takes forever. Reseting the location of the iTunes Media folder back to the original doesn't even work - the songs are still "unlocatable". Sometimes I can restore from the Cloud, sometimes not. The latest thing I did was to delete all my songs and File/Import the entire iTunes Music folder from the new location. As expected, I have hundreds of duplicates - one being playable and the other not found.
Does anybody know why iTunes cannot locate songs when they are phsically there and if there is a way to force it to actually go the the location specified and look? Also, is there any way to delete duplicate names en mass? Even if you could sort by the exclamation point (cannot find symbol), it would help.
With all of the stuff in the new iTunes, the application is still a mess as far as common Windows related maintenance functions go. I wonder if these problems abound on the Mac platform.
Thanks

Another point - after the mass Import, the song names displayed in iTunes are the same as the contents of my new library location excepting there are duplicates and the the tracks are "unlocateable" for playing.

I guess another person with RAM problems

I'll start from the very beginning. I ordered the rest of my new comp two weeks ago, Neo Platinum and 3200+ newcastle. I finally recieved them the thursday after I ordered them and built it that night. For RAM, because of the 754 only having 3 RAM slots I traded 2 Apacer 3200 256MB sticks for one Corsair XMS 3200 512MB and included with it 2 Infineon 3200 128MB sticks. It succesfully posted. So I went to install XP on a formatted HDD, which took 4 different copies. The first was having many corrupted files and and so I went on to a copy of home which also had trouble loading and BSOD a few times, then another copy of pro and finally the last copy of pro, which BSOD many times, including during installation so I had to redo it, though it eventual was installed. The first two times it started up it gave me a BSOD on stratup though the third went fine. The next restart it BSOD'ed only once and it was this way for a few more restarts. It would also BSOD when changing things in programs such as resolution and mozilla firefox would crash very very often. I noticed that the two infineon sticks were causing the clockrate to go down to 333Mhz and took them out, though I still had general instability it was better than nothing while I tried to figure it out. A few days later I asked a friend and he imediatly said RAM, he thought it was the clockrate not syncing right. I checked and it was 200Mhz, no problems there. Later I made a post about this and asking for my RAM timings to be evaluated, somebody mentioned using Memtest86 if I had any problems with RAM. That night I let it go and in 7 hours it had 14000 errors, 300 errors each retest. I swaped in the infineon RAM and got only a few errors each time, so I tried to see which stick was not working. Both would go fine when alone but there were still a few errors each time I tried both at the same time. I was using slot 1 when only testing one stick, and slot 1 and 2 when testing two sticks. So the expensive Corsair RAM was always getting lots of errors and the infineon got a few errors but always on slot 2, so I thought that it was bad and I got an RMA number from newegg.com. I then had a friend with a p4 come over and I tested the RAM on his computer and it all worked fine, including the RAM which got over 300 errors each test, so I was sure it was my motherboard, but I still traded him back his Corsair for my 2 Apacer, which I put in alone, slots 1 and 2. I was curious and ran memtest86 again last night and got no errors at all, for 7 hours. So the cheap Infineon erros, but only slot #2, the expensive Corsair errors a lot, but only on my motherboard, and the cheap Apacer doesn't error at all. So is this the same problem everybody else has had? Should I keep my motherboard, or should I RMA it? I really don't want to be without a computer for 7-10 days. Will it stay stable now or when I plan on getting some a Gig of nice RAM in the future, will I get the same errors?
(NOTE: on memtest86, any error would happen on test 5 of 7, Block move, 64 moves, cached)
I thank anybody at all who posts very much for at least giving their time to my problems

For RAM, because of the 754 only having 3 RAM slots I traded 2 Apacer 3200 256MB sticks for one Corsair XMS 3200 512MB and included with it 2 Infineon 3200 128MB sticks.
It succesfully posted.
So I went to install XP on a formatted HDD, which took 4 different copies. The first was having many corrupted files and and so I went on to a copy of home which also had trouble loading and BSOD a few times, then another copy of pro and finally the last copy of pro, which BSOD many times, including during installation so I had to redo it, though it eventual was installed.
The first two times it started up it gave me a BSOD on stratup though the third went fine. The next restart it BSOD'ed only once and it was this way for a few more restarts. It would also BSOD when changing things in programs such as resolution and mozilla firefox would crash very very often.
I noticed that the two infineon sticks were causing the clockrate to go down to 333Mhz and took them out, though I still had general instability it was better than nothing while I tried to figure it out.
A few days later I asked a friend and he imediatly said RAM, he thought it was the clockrate not syncing right. I checked and it was 200Mhz, no problems there. Later I made a post about this and asking for my RAM timings to be evaluated, somebody mentioned using Memtest86 if I had any problems with RAM.
That night I let it go and in 7 hours it had 14000 errors, 300 errors each retest. I swaped in the infineon RAM and got only a few errors each time, so I tried to see which stick was not working. Both would go fine when alone but there were still a few errors each time I tried both at the same time. I was using slot 1 when only testing one stick, and slot 1 and 2 when testing two sticks. So the expensive Corsair RAM was always getting lots of errors and the infineon got a few errors but always on slot 2, so I thought that it was bad and I got an RMA number from newegg.com.
I then had a friend with a p4 come over and I tested the RAM on his computer and it all worked fine, including the RAM which got over 300 errors each test, so I was sure it was my motherboard, but I still traded him back his Corsair for my 2 Apacer, which I put in alone, slots 1 and 2. I was curious and ran memtest86 again last night and got no errors at all, for 7 hours.
So the cheap Infineon erros, but only slot #2, the expensive Corsair errors a lot, but only on my motherboard, and the cheap Apacer doesn't error at all.
So is this the same problem everybody else has had?
Should I keep my motherboard, or should I RMA it?
I really don't want to be without a computer for 7-10 days. Will it stay stable now or when I plan on getting some a Gig of nice RAM in the future, will I get the same errors?
(NOTE: on memtest86, any error would happen on test 5 of 7, Block move, 64 moves, cached)
I thank anybody at all who posts very much for at least giving their time to my problems
