AX works (client Mode), but odd IP address and flashing orange light

Hi,
Today, possibly after a very brief power cut, my AX stopped working, then seemed OK after restarting my network. However, although I can play over Airtunes, the AX orange LED is continually flashing, and the AX has an odd (self-assigned?) IP address. I can't work this out.
I tried setting it up from scratch. Using the Airport Setup Assistant, tried to connect directly via Ethernet from my laptop (with Airport turned off). It asked me to switch on Airport, briefly found the AX, then refused to find it again.
So, I removed the Ethernet cable and tried using Airport Admin Utility wirelessly. I could connect to the AX as it started up from a hard reset, and I could set it up. However, although it still serves Airtunes, it still refuses to pick up a proper IP address (192.168....), instead having a 169.254... address. And the orange LED still flashes continuously.
I'm connecting to a closed network, using WPA Personal. AX version 6.3. Mac OS X 10.4.9.
The AX connects wirelessly to a LinkSys AP, which is in turn wired to an Airport Extreme BS, which is in turn wired (via a switch) to a LinkSys (wireless) router (long cable runs, thick walls, don't ask!). All has worked flawlessly for years. Still works, but looks like it shouldn't!
Any clues?

Hi. I'm actually having what seems to be the same problem, but after restarting and unplugging everything I can think of, the amber light is still flashing. Other than the light and the 69.47.... IP address (which I'll take your word for it being weird), the network appears to be working fine. Should I just ignore the light? We have three computers connected to it successfully right now, and I'd hate to disturb its mojo if the light isn't important.
Thanks!

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My iphone4 got wet and was working right after but I shut off and have in bowl of rice by dehumidifier. But now it only turns on when plugged in. If I take to an Apple store will they be able to tell me if it's salvageable ?

Apple will not attempt to salvage it. They will offer you a replacement iPhone 4 for $149.

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Remote Enabled function module of SAP working - debug mode but not run mode

Hi,
When a remote function module is called from Java a message should get thrown from the function module which the FM is throwing but Java is not able to fetch the error. This problem is coming in execution mode but if we are in debugging mode and go to the function module remotely the error is getting triggered.
Please suggest the solution to the problem.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello
try something like this
try {
JCO.Client.execute(myFunction)
} catch (JCO.AbapException ex) {
System.out.println ("ABAP Exception: " + ex.getKey() + " " + ex.getMessage());
the problem is, that JCo ABAP Exceptions are subclasses of java.lang.RuntimeException so the Java Compiler doesn't force you to catch them

During OSD in WINPE the clients loses it's IP Address and fails

Hello,
Since 3 weeks we have an issue where the clients are releasing there IP address during OS Deployment, and mostly during downloading the .wim file or during the applying image. (If you try
for 4 or 5 times it sometime passes and will be successfully deployed)
The DHCP lease times are set to 24H. I ran a F8 and then i did a ping to the distribution server during the download / applying. What we see is that after and X moment (within 20min still
in WinPE) the NIC looses its IP address and gets a 169.x.x.x.x.x address.
If this happens during Applying Images (before its complete) and you manually do a ipconfig/release and /renew it successfully continues. If it happens during download it off course stops
instantly.
We tested it on several routers and different configurations. All with the same result a failing OSD. We ran SCCM2012 SP1. The WinPE has the latest NIC drivers.
Greetings

We almost solved the problem :) Indeed DHCP is the problem. Although the config of both DHCP servers is configured the same with a lease of 24h (deployment vlan) one of the DHCP servers is giving the clients a lease time of 10 minutes. When this lease time
expired the clients arent automatic renewing the lease and Deployment will fail.
DHCP config is renewed and coded with different lease time but still clients get 10min lease.
More on Monday :)

HT4528 my iphone synced with my computer and left my contact info but erased the address and phone numbers but left notes and email addresses on the phone and computer

Is there any way to restore the addresses and phone numbers to the contacts on the iphone and computer that were erased after it synced?

Then chances are you won't be able to get them back. You can try restoring from your last iPhone backup to see if they're still there. To do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences; on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup. Of course, if your backup has already been overwritten with a new backup that doesn't contain the missing contact information then this will not restore it to your phone.) When done you can go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

Scriptable mail client with good support for html and flash

Hi,
on one hand I'm looking for the uzbl/luakit/.. equivalent in the mail client world: I want a very high level of control over how mails are fetched, filtered, displayed, scripts, keybinds, etc etc.
On the other hand I also want the client to handle html mails properly, even when they include html5 sound/video clips and/or flash widgets/videos.
This might sound ironic, but I use rss2email to get all my newsfeeds delivered to my mailbox. I think this makes a lot of sense, a centralized repository for all the messages I want to get.
But those newsposts often contain html5 and flash widgets, which I want to be able to use from inside the mailclient.
Also I expect usage of the xdg basedir spec and sane use of files (a simple text config file, and maximum a few binary files for caches/indexes etc)
A good search system based on sup/notmuch/xapian would also be welcome.
I just can't find a mail client like this. Any suggestions? Maybe anything that's close, so I could hack it a bit myself?
Claws-mail is the least sucky client I could find, but still it doesn't give me the advanced scriptability, it makes a mess in my homedir and doesn't support html5/flash.

Thid may take you a bit away from your current setup, but if you have used sup you shouldn't be too scared ;D
Ive started using mutt a while back, and if properly configured it can do a _lot_ of things and very well at that too!
Anyway, to answer your post:
1) Mutt can be configured to retieve your rss feeds, so you dont need to use rss2email and still get a centralilsed repo for your email and rss and, you will be able to keep your email account uncluttered with rss mail (but thats personal preference).
2) Intrinsically, like all CLI mail clients, butt doesnt show html/html5 or embedded flash in email. /BUT/ you can configure it to use a differen program to handle this automatically.
So, you will be able to get say uzbl, or jumanji or surf (if you're into your lightweight browsers) to open those multimedia emails. Edit: it seems you will probably have to use links2, but you may be able to use other clients (they will have to open as a seperate application though, whilst links2 is able to stay embedded. Maybe this can be done with the other browsers but I haven't tried nor researched this.
Generally as: (in .muttrc)
# enriched messages
auto_view text/html # view html automatically
alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html # but save it for last
Credit for that snippet goes to something i found on dotfiles. If I ever find the author's name, I shall edit it in here.
You will also need to create a .mailcap file with the relevant data. A basic google search reveals some good tutorials for this.

HT3964 My Macbook air charges intermittently. At times when I connect the power adapter it shows that power is coming in but says "not charging" and the led light on the power adapter does not light. At other times it charges normally. Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I am having problems with charging my mac Air. Sometimes it charges perfectly but then at times much as it shows that it's getting the power from the charger, it says "not charging" and the led light on the charger does not light up. Any help?
Rgds,
Kido-Vj

That can happen when you are Taxing the system. No Apple supplied AC adapter supplies enough power to both power the system and charge the battery at the same time when the system is under Heavy Load, when you are Taxing the system heavily. At those times it will draw power from both the AC adapter and the battery at the same time. So if it is drawing power from both it can't charge the battery while it is drawing power from it.

ISync works for iCal but not for Address Book

Another lost soul. Can anybody suggest where I should start looking for the problem.
I've just successfully modified my iSync so that it sees my brand new Nokia 6300. I have got the phone and my iMac to sync my calendar, but absolutely zero activity on the contacts front.
Looking at the message on my Nokia, the Synchronisation Info message records changes to the Calendar but makes no mention of the Contacts. It is as if I've switched off the requirement to sync these somewhere.
Any ideas for where to look?
Frances

I followed the instructions on http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.ht ml , including simply replacing my MetaClasses.plist with his. The site blog shows this worked for lots of people, but not for me
Over the years I have found these Apple Discussion lists a very useful source of help, but I don't think I have ever come across a list with so many frantic pleas for help as this! ISync is a wonderful Idea, but it seems that it is far from plain sailing to implement.

ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

Thanks for the "helpful" star, V4N0!
(1) Your initial post shows you using Mac OS X (10.6.6),
but your latest post shows Mac OS X (10.6.5).
Have you "downdated" to 10.6.5?
(2) iSight works with iMovie, Photo Booth, QuickTime, and other apps like Address Book,
etc. You need not try every possible app, but please tell us which you have tested,
and which, if any, work with your iSight.
(3) Have you tested iSight operation in more than one user account?
Are the symptoms EXACTLY the same in any user account you test?
(4) If your only problem is with ALL apps in ALL user accounts, try applying the
Combo Update using the method suggested in this recent post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12859723&#12859723
If you want the latest Mac OS instead of 10.6.5, download the 10.6.6 Combo Update:

instead of the 10.6.5 Combo (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324) link in the post.

I have a proble with the 3560cg and 2960cg, when i configure the port with "switchport trunk encapsulation doi1q " and "switchport mode trunk" on the interface for the connection with the WLC2504, don't have connection.

Hi scot
in my case, i configure the 3560 with the vlan 1 for administration and the vlan 100 and 200 for my clients (i use the 2 vlans with 2 wlans from the wlc) and i know that the port must be Trunk, my management interface its taggin with the vlan 1 for the administration and the dynamic interfaces with the respective vlan.
when i configure the 3560 and 2960 i use these command (switchport mode trunk) and i loose the connection with the wlc (i use the same comand with other switch and work very well), the wlc loose the conection with the net.
i dont know the reason for this failure, and i know if the wlc have management interface untugged, only work with this vlan (vlan native or vlan access) and don't work with the others vlans for the wlans.
I wish to know if the IOS or if exist another configuration for the 3560 and 2960 works with the WLC correctly or its problem of the IOS
Thaks for the help
