Computer on and off every other day

is it bad? i really don't know. i've been doing this logic 7 hour sessions every other day by myself for 2 years... almost flawlessley. A true gift to have this time!!!It's unbelievable how much you guys have helped me here. I've been rec./ digitally for 10 years now...am I screwing up by powering down (everything)Monitors, Preamps, external drives..mixers. I always do this.

At the rate of which Electrical component are made today, there shouldn't be arm in leaving stuff on,
where as its made from a reputable manufacture, and as a signature or seal of approval.
Power-ing down stuff will result in less consumption of Electricity, and will maintain a better system in-terms of abuse when left unattended.
E.g. if there is a power failure back and forth, which may blow your system, if its not plug into a power-serge, that will protect it from these element of surprise.
Another e.g. if your using a projector, and its left on, when not in use, then the life-span of the bulb, will be shorten because the life on these bulbs is for a certain amount of hours.
So in this case leaving it off will result in a better life-span,
also plasma screen is like that as well, other than that, it should be fine.
If you're not bordered about paying the excess on electric rates,
even though have it on and off, then on again could result in you paying more, than if it was to be left on in the first place.
Stuff such as monitor is always left on even if the computer is off, in most set-up.
Power amps/Mic/pre nice to leave of when not in use they eat that energy, believe.

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again

My track pad is not working. The computer has been off for 10 days and I changed the batteries

Can someone help me with my iMac track pad? My computer has been off for 10 days and when I turned it on the curser will not move. The green light on the track pad would come on then off so i replaced the batteries in the track pad but it still does not work. Not sure if the grandchildren were on it over the holidays could something be locked on the keyboard?

1. Make sure that battery is in normal condition.
2. Shut down the computer.
    Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
    System Preferences > Point & Click
    Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click the Spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
    Select Disk Utility. When the Disk utility window opens up,
    select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.

EA4500 Internet Port Cycles On and Off Every Few Second

I bought a EA4500 to replace my old WRT54G earlier this year. At first the router worked fine. After the automatic firmware upgrade to Cisco Connect Cloud, I was never able to get the Connect Cloud stuff to work, constant 500 Internal Server errors when trying to access the router with the Internet cable attached. So I downgraded back to the old firmware and all was well again. Then I started having problems a few months ago, when I would wake up in the morning, the router would be cycling the Internet port on and off. I could usually reboot everything and it would work the rest of the day. I lived with it like this a while, and support couldn't seem to find anything wrong. Eventually it started getting worse, until the point I could hardly ever get it to stay connected. I got Cisco to RA the old router and I figured problem solved. Now while the EA4500 was gone, I used my WRT54G again, and everything worked fine for nearly two weeks while I was waiting on the replacement EA4500.
So today the new EA4500 showed up, I connected and configured it, and it worked for a short time. Then suddenly I lost Internet, looked up at the modem and the LAN light was going on and off every few seconds. So I'm back in the same boat as before.
I've tried changing cables, same setup works fine with the WRT54G. Modem works fine with WRT54G and connected directly to the computer, zero problems. I tried lowering the MTU, turning on MAC address cloning, and various other things.
My modem is a HughesNet HN9000.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly apprecaited.
David

OK, the setup as is works fine with the WRT54G, just the EA4500 has the issue. It started working again last night, and was working this morning. It continued to work until about 3:15 PM today, and out of the blue, my computer came up and said the Ethernet connection went off, then it came back on, it did this several times...at the same time, I looked up at the modem, and the LAN light was going on and off on it also. So the router was cycling both the Internet and Port 1 on and off.
My HN9000 has a static public IP, and the IP it's DHCP server gives out is one digit different than it's own IP.
My router is set this way, and this is what it gets if I switch the Internet to Automatic (DHCP):
IPv4 Address: 97.xxx.xxx.194
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
Default Gateway: 97.xxx.xxx.193
Then there are two DNS server addresses. I've tried the router setup as Static IP or Automatic (DHCP) and the problem occurs either way.
The HN9000 seems to pass all incoming traffic straight to the router.
One the LAN side, the router is configured to give out IP's in the 192.168.1.x range, and I have some static leases set. The router is 192.168.1.1.
Everything works with the computer connected directly to the modem, and with the WRT54G in place of the EA4500.
As far as calling Hughes, they won't support the router. If it works without the router, and with another router, they will say it's a problem with the router, which I think it is, just not sure what. Also, just to be clear, I do loose Internet access on my computer when the router acts up, but the HughesNet modem remains connected to the Internet.

Every other day, my mac won't start up

every other day, my mac won't start up. my keyboard would light up and i hear the system start but nothing is appearing in the screen. i would have to press the start button until the screen actually shows up.. why does it do that?

Have you just tried repairing with Disk Utility?
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

Wpdomain.db file gets corrupted every other day

Hello
Our secondary wpdomain.db database gets corrupted every other day. Right now we have up to five people connecting to it at one time using multiple instances of ConsoleOne. How many users can we have connect to it at one time?
Chris T.

Hi,
I guess I need to know what OS you are hosting the databases on. OES? Plain SLES? Sort of depends on what is serving up what and who is consuming it. But generally, you MUST disable opportunistic locking / client side caching on the CIFS connections used to access the domain databases. That is, no doubt, what is killing them.
Two approaches:
1. Fix the problem on the CIFS / SAMBA server side. Then client settings don't matter. Our domains are on pure SLES, not OES, and domains are shared via SAMBA. Clients incluse other SLES boxes, Windows clients, etc. So we nipped it in the bud by preventing it on the SAMBA server. If the server is using plain old SAMBA, the corresponding share section in /etc/samba/smb.conf should be set up similar to
Code:
[grpwise]
comment = Transfer
inherit acls = Yes
path = /grpwise
read only = No
oplocks = False
level2oplocks = False
You can configure some of these setting globally, but I like to specify them explicitly - then you know what is actually going to happen. And you don't mess with other shares exposed by the server where client side caching / op locks "might" be OK.
2. You can also solve the problem on the CIFS client side ( in your case, the remote servers mounting the CIFS share ) by disabling oplocks:
cat /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
It will report "1" meaning its IS enabled. That's bad! You can disable Op Locks easily:
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled
Generally, under high load, the CIFS client will fall apart with this enabled. The number of pending locks piles up and all the client does is service the locks. We have web server fronting a common CIFS share, you NEED to do the above to the systems mounting CIFS shares.
Doing either or both ( on all systems hosting / consuming the shares ). I don't trust people to set up their clients correctly, so I opted for #1. The next day the problems stopped, order was restored to the Universe.
( This is analogous to, on Windows clients talking to Netware, File Commit = ON, File Caching = OFF, Level 2 OpLocks = OFF, etc. )

EA6900 drops 2.4 GHz wifi every other day

Hey,
my EA6900 (firmware version 1.1.42.158863) drops the 2.4 GHz network every other day or so. At that point, all connected devices lose the network connection and cannot connect again until I manually reset the router. This is a big pain in the **bleep**.

How do I fix this?
I've enabled automatic router firmware updates, but this has not helped over the last weeks.
Thanks in advance,

There is a bunch of people with this router ( me included) that are having issues with the wireless dropping out. Some more than others as far as the frequency of it. I have a ticket open with them and have been talking to them every few days about it. One thing I discovered the other day that has stopped it from dropping connections on the 2.4 is to set the mode to G only. I have given this info to linksys and they are supposed to get back to me by tomorrow with some more info. I am assuming it is the same problem as yours: everything is working fine then all of a sudden devices start to disconnect randomly. An my laptops it shows as the SSID is available but it wont connect to it. Only way to get back on is to reboot the router. As suggested by linksys the security is set to WPA2 Personal and the bandwidth is set to 20 mHz instead of auto. There was a big thread about this starting to happen when the last update came out that went from 1.1.42.156465 to 1.1.42.158863. If the Auto update was checked it got the update and started to disconnect wireless stuff. Might want to see what hardware version your is, the 1.0 came with the 1.1.42.156465 so if yours has updated to the newer one you could roll back and see if it gets better. there is a go back to last version button on the UI. but if you have the hw ver 1.1 it came with the updated version and we have been told not to go back as it may brick the router. here is the thread: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EA6900-New-Firmware-1-1-42-158863/td-p/770985

WRT160NL hangs every other day

Doing a google search, and searching this forum, apparently every other day hangs are not that unusual for Linksys products.
In any case, repeated hangs have been a problem since I installed my WRT160NL about 3 weeks ago. I'm trying to decide if I should just return it to the store, or keep futzing with it.
I have already reset the router and reconfigured it - made no difrerence. I'm running Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B15, which isn't the latest - an upgrade is the final thing to try. I have tracked the hangs over the last 7 days, and found the unusual pattern of a hang every 2 days, about 36-48 hours apart. This must mean something, but I can't figure out what.
MY QUESTION... Apparently the log on this router completely disapears every time its booted - it might help if there was some way to see if there is a common event before the hang. Any suggestions of how to preserve the log?
Any other suggestions welcome. Chat support really doesn't know that much about this product - so far that has proven a waste of time.
thnx,

Try to reflash the router's firmware and reconfigure it....
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

[59-429213] LTE Modem keeps swithcing on and off every 30seconds

I recently bought Lenovo Yoga 2 with Windows 8.1. Everything works great except lte modem. It keeps switching on and off every time I am using the internet connection. When tablet is resting, then modem is working, but when I'm trying to do something, browse the web for example, it starts to freak out. Modem disappears from Device Manager for couple of seconds and keeps on popping on again after 3-5 seconds. Then it tries to connect to the provider, then I've got the internet connection for about 30 seconds and the same thing all over again. Modem disappears from device manager, opening on again after 5 seconds and tries to reconnect (with success) with the provider and so on, and off, and on, and off. It is very frustrating and I tried to find some solution but unfortunately without success. Maybe you guys will have any idea what is going on. Thanks in advance.

You have to update the EM7345 firmware. What version do you have now ?
