Arch box appears to knock out wifi
I have encountered an interesting problem with my home network. My arch box has been out for a while and during that time I and all others in my apartment have had no issues with wireless connectivity. Recently however, I was able to get my desktop running again and now the standalone wireless router/dsl modem is dropping all of the wireless users. My arch desktop is connected via an ethernet cord and does not experience a loss of connection. But my iPod, netbook(running Windows 7) and my GF's netbook (running Mint) all lose their connection to the router and their ability to reconnect. The router is still broadcasting and appears on lists but no connection seems to be possible to it.
Before my arch box went down a few months back, this issue had been popping up but I had forgotten about it until I got it working again.
Fixing the matter so far has been either physically switching the router on and off or going into the router's software by browser and shutting the wireless radio on and off.
I have yet to figure out what might be causing this and I have found no instances of this in my googling. Any thoughts?
Make sure you Arch Box is not trying to become the definitive DHCP server on the network. In other words, ensure the dhcp server is not running.
Is your wireless set to the correct regulatory environment? (I cheated and used my moderator privilege -- I see where you are, so this is probably not the issue)
You have not "Optimized" your power output or anything, have you?
Edit: What is your router? I had similar issues, re-flashing my Netgear default crippleware firmware with DD-WRT made things work like magic.

IPad knocks out wifi for whole household
Hey everyone. Just bought an iPad 2 wifi and every time I use it for more than fifteen minutes it not only loses connection, but knocks out the connection completely. Every other device in the house remains connected to the network, including the iPad, but the internet connection is completely lost and I have to reboot the router. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Sounds like there is a bug in the firmware of your router.
Check for a firmware update on the support web page of your router's manufacturer. -
Why does a grey box appear around my Illustrator document when I print it out in acrobat?
I am having this huge problem. After I create a document in Illustrator, crop it (so it is print ready) , open the file in Acrobat to print, something unusual happens. A greyed out tinted box appears to print which seems to be the specific area that I previously cropped in Illustrator. This has never happened to me before until I switched to CS4. Any suggestions as to how I prevent this from happening. You can sort of see it happen in the preview window with the image I attached.
Well that's just the thing... I save the document as an ai.file and just usually open and print through acrobat.

Everytime I send an email the warning box appears--- WebKit2 WebProcess,exe has stopped working. Then I hit close program and it shuts me out of my inbox.
If I don't close the warning box my computer stay s in limbo. What is is? It is not in my control panel and does not come up as a program in my computer.
Help?Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair". -
Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card. Any suggestions?Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:
https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/4400822?hl=en&ref_topic=3001406
Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:
Fixed black or white tile artifacts that might have occurred after returning to Photoshop from plug-ins
You can find out the version you have installed by launching Photoshop:
On Mac: Select Photoshop>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)
On Windows: Select Help>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in) -
My new iPad keeps knocking out the whole household's WIFI
I got a new iPad 16GB 4th gen today. I have got as far as connecting to my WIFI to set it up and have typed in my password for the WIFI. Now I cannot get any further because the iPad keeps knocking out the WIFI connection for the whole household. I literally cannot set up my iPad because it keeps killing my connection the minute it is switched on. Can anyone help?

I believe I'm using the latest Firefox. I download it whenever you tell me it's available. I have Windows Vista. This box appears in the desktop area (which MSN seems to have redesigned from the way I had it). This seems like a boarder which hops on to my computer after I do a search on Yahoo, but I don't really know where it comes from, what it is, or what it's doing.
One time you showed me a box which let me get rid of cookies. I don't know how to call that box back, but I'd like toetresoft a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you - Just what I needed

When I am first looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library," a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "Loading". While it is loading, I usually think the photo looks "good". After the photo is done loading, it looks more washed out. Is there some sort of setting that I might have on (or that I need to turn on) so that this does not happen. I have Lr4. Thanks.
Hi Tracy,
There used to be a way to see if poster was new to the forum.., anyway - welcome to the forum.
As I was alluding to, biggest differences in initial display are due to:
* Camera calibration profile.
* Auto-exposure/contrast settings (for which compensations have been auto-applied in camera, but not in Lightroom).
So, choose a matching camera calibration profile (whether that's an option or not depends on your camera model - they're available for many but not all models) if you prefer one of them over "Adobe Standard" (the factory default profile).
Also, your camera covers for underexposure due to non-optimal auto-exposure/contrast setting, Lightroom doesn't, so your options are:
* turn it off in camera.
* learn to compensate manually (or automatically via a plugin) in Lightroom.
Of course, in addition to preferred defaults (alt-click big "reset" button in dev module), come up with some presets which are appropriate for your druthers and type of photography.. e.g. these will compensate Nikon ADL settings:

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

Firefox 3.6.8 will not start. I have to go to safe start, click reset to default, ok, then the shutdown box appears, I click cancel and it will open. I have rest profile, uninstalled and reinstalled, clicked alll he boxes on safe start, tried an older version need help. in English
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to defaultI had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails. -
I checked this out with Verizon tech and it was determined that the problem was with the Firefox browser. With Safari I have no problem forwarding e-mails. This box appeared for the first time on June 15. I have never seen it before. I still am able to send and receive e-mails. The only function that does not work, since 6/15, is the ability to forward an e-mail. I have Firefox version 31.0. I work on an Apple IMac.
I have already re-installed the default version of Firefox, deleted all my history. Nothing has worked to eliminate that message. The Verizon tech person said that there seems to be a problem between my router and Firefox. I don't understand how this problem suddenly cropped up 4 days ago. Will I be able to resolve this or will I have to switch to another browser? One more bit of info: my O.S. is Mac 10.6.8.
Thank you.
leonboloHi leonbolo,
Oh noz, I am sorry to hear that there is an issue with Firefox and the router and that clearing the cache and reinstalling is still causing this issue. We are happy to help.
Please see these also for reference:
*[[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
*[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
Two things I can think of:
*Ping the router from Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pingler/ Pingler addon ]
*See if the smtp that the Verizon mail uses is ping able as well. (rebooting the router is the default troubleshooting if it was working before. )
Please post back, it could help other users as well! -
Help..!! I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air. I had keychain issues with passwords etc and bumbled my way out of it by deleting the current keychain and creating a new one with a new log-in (yes, I wrote it down this time!) But now these little boxes appear wanting my log-in ie. calendar, Safari, Outlook) and its annoying....entering the login gets rid of the box but what a pain and I know it's not right.....I know I need to enter somekind of automatic logins to these apps but how do I do that....and go easy on me, I'm not computer savvy.
Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

Open .pdf file in Word & "Convert File" Box appears...Weird.
Using my MacBook Pro, I click on a PDF file to open in Microsoft Word & an angry box appears that says "Convert File."
In the box it says: Convert file from: then it lists various file types i.e., Text only, MS-DOS Text, Rich Text Format, HTML Document, Single File Web Page, Unicode Text and many more.
It is trying to open a PDF file in Microsoft Word.
I can't figure out how to change so it opens!!!
I made the fancy document myself in Microsoft Word and saved it in PDF format on the same computer.
I am a new Mac user....so if you tell me to go somewhere (well, not anywhere..on the computer!); please be specific and help me get there!
I've tried the right click trick, open with trick...no luck. That's not even an option!
This kindergarten teacher THANKs YOU oh so much!I found this...But I don't understand it. I downloaded the latest versions...still can't view the PDF.
Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to edit it! I just want to VIEW IT~!
Overview
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-ins before version 10.1.3 are incompatible with the Safari 5.1 browser that shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat stand-alone applications are unaffected and Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat browser plug-ins before 10.1.3 don't function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
To the top
Affected customers
Any Adobe Reader, Acrobat, and LiveCycle customers who require the Adobe Reader or Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in a browser when only Safari 5.1 is present.
To the top
Workarounds
Options include the following:
Continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6.
Upgrade to Adobe Reader or Acrobat version 10.1.3 or later.
Save the PDF file from Safari to the computer, and then open it directly in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Use desktop virtualization technology such as Citrix to allow applications to run in a controlled environment where the Safari browser isn't upgraded to version 5.1.
To the top
Can customers use a different web browser like Chrome or Opera?
Acrobat Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are dependent on the WebKit WebPlugin API and capabilities that are unique to Safari. Other browsers like Chrome or Opera do not have the required functionality to run the plug-ins properly. As of the 10.1.3 release of Reader, Firefox running in 32-bit mode is now supported on Mac OS.
What is the impact on LiveCycle Workspace?
Since LiveCycle Workspace operates in the browser, PDF Forms in Workspace don't function in Safari 5.1 using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions earlier than 10.1.3.
What is the impact on Adobe Solutions Accelerators?
Interactive Statements
In the primary use case for Interactive Statements, PDFs are delivered via email and can be opened with the stand-alone Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The secondary use case, where the statement is generated and displayed on a website, requires Adobe Reader or Acrobat to operate in-browser and doesn't function using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3.
Correspondence Management
Internal employees (the Case worker/Claims adjustor and the business user personas) require Adobe Reader and Acrobat to function in-browser and don't function with Safari 5.1 using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3. External user use cases do not require that the Adobe Reader or Acrobat operate in-browser, so they aren't affected by the Safari 5.1 browser.
Managed Review & Approval (MRA) and Integrated Content Review (ICR)
Since the MRA and ICR solutions require Workspace, these customer use cases can't function in the Safari 5.1 browser using Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions before 10.1.3.
