Configuration hanging at initial setup

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a Mac OS Leopoard Server and when enter all the inital information during the initial setup, a dialog box shows the status. Around I'd say 98% (yeah it's right at the near end, just a sliver left) the thing hangs. About 30 or so minutes it gives up and I forget the error message and goes back to restart the app (not the system.)
Tried zapping the PRAM, doing some console (single user) trick I found elsewhere to no avail. I do not have the disc to the OS, and I installed Tiger on another hard drive to see if I can peek into the Leopoard of any abnormalities.
Thoughts?

Make a note of the error message next time as that will help. In the meantime make sure the server is connected to a network ie: an ethernet cable to an active switch or router. In initial configuration of Leopard Server will fail if you don't do this as an active network connection is one of its requirements.
If this is the only server on your network make sure you have a clear idea about what your internal DNS Services are going to be and choose either Standard or Advanced. If this server is to be placed in an existing network (eg: a Windows Domain) which already has a mature DNS server configured and running then choose Workgroup instead after making sure relevant DNS records have been created for it and a fixed IP address has been reserved for its use.

  • New iChat hangs during initial setup, then crashes

    I got the latest version of iChat (I can't find out the exact version because it's not included in the info). It asks me if I want to use jabber, and all that stuff, and I choose "no." Then it just hangs with the spinning beachball of death. I do a force-quit, delete the preference files, and start over. Then it gets through the initial setup process, and says "click OK to start using iChat AV." I click OK, and then it CRASHES! What's going on here?!?

    Hi James,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You might want to try reinstalling the 10.4.2 Combo Updater before you go to all that work, especially if you updated to 10.4.2 with one click in Apple's Software Update on your Mac.
    See How I Update My Mac OS X for more info.

    Hi Jie,
    I have not carried oyt any PI 7.1 installation, but yes PI 7.0.
    In one of the steps of sapinst you are asked for SLD type (local or centralized). And every users needed to connect to SLD are created automatically and with the master password. Is it different in PI 7.1?
    When you say vía Configuration Wizard, do you mean sapinst? or postinstallation steps?

  • Initial Setup Problem - Starting the SLD Registration process

    Hi,
    we are installing our PI development system. During initial configuration with "NWA --> Configuration Management --> Scenarios --> Configuration Wizard --> Netweaver initial setup" the wizard stands still at Step 68 (of 561) "Starting the SLD Registration process".
    We have restarted the system but after starting again the wizard it stands still again.
    Same problem on our PI quality assurance system.
    PI 7.11 on Windows 2008 R2 with MSSQL 2008 R2.
    Steps of installation:
    1) Installation of PI 7.11
    2) Postworks ABAP (License, TMS, Profiles, rz04, ...)
    3) Kernelupdate to 106
    4) Updates SPS7 ABAP
    5) Updates SPS7 JAVA
    6) Run NWA Initial Setup with J2EE_ADMIN
    Could someone help?
    Thanks

    Then possibly the password was set wrong somewhere (since the "-" character is not blocked). Its advisable to check all service users passwords, to prevent other issues like this one to occur. Please check the OSS note "999962 - PI 7.10: Change passwords of PI service users" for more information on this.

  • T500 Vista buying experience and initial setup problems

    This a long post but I felt the information could be used by others buying a notebook and trying to set it up.
    I have used a Thinkpad T40 (1 GB, XP Pro) at work since 2003  and just love the rock-solid keyboard, screen, and hinges. The IT department has offered me the most recent Dell computer as an upgrade but I much prefer to keep my old reliable T40.
    When my daughter needed a notebook for university in September, it was only natural to consider Lenovo, having heard about too many quality problems with other manufacturers. I wanted this notebook to last through the 4 years without any hardware problems.
    I did a lot of research on the Web and read numerous Thinkpad forums. The information gathered was invaluable for deciding which configuration to buy. Note that I have never used VISTA before, nor have I ever opened a notebook to replace parts.
    Buying experience:
    - On my first contact with the Lenovo Sales desk in Canada, they mentioned there was a special 25% coupon sale, if my configuration was over $1500 (discounted price). These specials come back often, so it is best to check the Lenovo site. At the time, there was a free integrated camera, free upgrade to 250 MB HDD and free shipping. Since these promotions can be removed at any time, I decided to place an online order for a Thinkpad T500, before having completed all my research. It is easy to place an order online. You just have to remember that not all items contribute to making up the $1500, such as MS Office software.
    - Lenovo Sales telephone support for answering any questions about online ordering was outstanding and very helpful.
    - Note that if a particular online configuration is there one week, it might not be there the next week. It depends on parts availability at Lenovo.
    - In order to get the 25% coupon discount, I had to add some items to my configuration to reach $1500, such as Bluetooth, Wifi 5100, which I did not really need, but the saving on the overall cost was worthwhile.
    - I had ordered a WXGA (1280 x 800) High Brightness LED Backlit screen and 3 GB of RAM. After reading about the poor display quality of these screens, I was able to cancel my order by phone the next day (after making sure the same deal was still available), and place a new revised order for a WSXGA+ TFT (1680 x 1050) screen. Since the configuration price for an additional 2 GB RAM was $110 CDN, I decided to buy the extra 2 GB RAM (only $43 CDN) as an accessory, on the same order, separate from the T500 configuration. I could then install the RAM myself to save $67 ! Just make sure you pay the extra to get the base 2 GB RAM on one DIMM, since there are only 2 slots available. I know I will only be using 3.5 GB with my 32-bit Windows, but at least, if one of the DIMMs goes bad, I can still operate on 2 GB.
    - as for choosing which CPU to buy, I chose in the middle range, starting with the first CPU having 3 MB L2 cache.
    - I did not buy MS Office or McAfee Antivirus with the configuration. Since my daughter attends a post-secondary institution, she was able to order MS Office Ultimate 2007 for $64 CDN + $13 for the DVD. Microsoft has had this promotion on their site
     (http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-ca/default.aspx)
    for a while, but it is not well known. You get 8 MS products for one low price and it is completely legal for numerous countries ! I downloaded the software since it took 5 weeks to get the DVD delivered ! At the end of 4 weeks, I contacted Microsoft to tell them I had still not received the DVD. So I received the first DVD and a few weeks later, I received a second copy. So much for quick shipping !
    Initial impressions:
    - I received 3 separate shipments: 1 free Thinkpad privacy filter to install on the screen, the 2 GB RAM, and finally the T500 (which took about 2 weeks).
    -The stainless steel hinges are rock-solid. When trying to raise the lid in the first weeks, you have to hold down the keyboard. Not at all like the hinges I see on the Dell notebooks at work.
    - The 3 USB port connections are very tight, which means they should last through repeated plugging and unplugging.
    - The T500 is surprisingly quiet, more than my T40. You can hardly hear the fan.
    - I am extremely satisfied with the screen resolution, colours, and quality.
    - The only disappointment was the keyboard ! Typing on the left-hand side (Q,W keys) produced an annoying "clunk". This was the worst keyboard I had ever used, being accustomed to the legendary quality of my T40. Even my daughter complained about the keyboard. I had read on the forums about the "flex" in the keyboard. Before ordering, when I asked the Sales Rep if these known problems had been solved, I was told that yes, the keyboard flex was no longer an issue. Too bad this was not true !
    Initial Setup:
    - Setup was easy. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
    - I was not very happy to see a trial version of MS-Office and McAfee Antivirus on my notebook. I had not ordered it on the online configuration and did not want it. I had read on the forums that other users had all sorts of problems trying to get their own version of MS Office working (activation keys not being recognized), when the pre-loaded software was still there. And I knew how difficult it could be to erase all traces of McAfee by myself.
    Hardware problems:
    - after I burned my very first DVD, I pressed the Eject button. To my surprise, there was a thin grey foam ring (about 3 cm diameter) sitting on top of my DVD media. I assumed that this came from the roof of the DVD drive and the manufacturing process had missed the glue to keep it there. I contacted Lenovo and they immediately sent out a replacement (received the next day), which was easy to install. I then returned the defective part to Lenovo. My only complaint is that this was a refurbished unit. I was expecting a new unit since the part was defective out of the box and not a few months later.
    - for the defective keyboard, I contacted Lenovo and mentioned the numerous complaints on the forums, and they sent me a new keyboard (FRU 42T3938). Unlike the DVD drive, I did not have to send back the original keyboard. However, the replacement keyboard was exactly the same as the original, with a thin flexible backing full of holes. I contacted Lenovo again in the morning and the agent mentioned I should contact Sales, since there was nothing more he could do. That afternoon, the agent called me to say that after further research, he had found a replacement keyboard that would correct the flex. When I received the second replacement keyboard (FRU 42T3210), I knew it was the right one, since there were far less holes in the more solid backing plate. I followed the instructions for replacing the keyboard and added my additional 2 GB RAM at the same time, since it is in the same area, under the palm rest. Now the keyboard is almost like my solid T40, and I am no longer ashamed of the T500 keyboard. For those of you wondering what an ACNOR or CSA keyboard is, it is one where the 5 most common French accented characters (and not only the é) are used with one keystroke. I have been using such a keyboard disposition since 1994 and it is invaluable when typing in French.

    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T500-keyboard-replacement/m-p/158451#M15525
    My immediate goals:
    - out of the box, there are 3 partitions: partitions Q (10 GB)  and S (1 GB) are Lenovo partitions to recover the operating system, C partition is a single partition over 200 GB on my 250 GB DD. I wanted to partition the C: drive in multiple partitions.
    - I also wanted to eliminate MS Office and McAfee so I could install my own software (MS Office 2007 Ultimate and free Avast Antivirus). When I contacted Lenovo to ask how I could do this, they said I could use the recovery partition and "customize" it so that this software would not be installed. Turns out that this option was removed by Lenovo. I guess pressure from Microsoft and McAfee was too great ! The only other option was to use Add/Remove.
    Partitioning problems.
    - I ran Diskmgmt.msc (also available on XP) to see the layout of my HDD. Unfortunately, it did not seem to be powerful enough to partition like I wanted. But it is great to see the layout of the disk and do basic partitioning. (http://www.theeldergeek.com/hard_drives.htm)
    - I installed the free EASUS Partition Manager (http://www.partition-tool.com/); the non-free Pro version works on 64-bit.  I wanted to partition: C 35GB (Operating System and Office), D 20GB (other applications), E 25GB (Data), F 100GB (Music and Pictures). I also installed the free EASUS Todo Backup (http://www.todo-backup.com/) to do regular image backups as I was proceeding.
    - while trying to partition the C drive, I must have made an error somewhere (I think I accidentally declared another partition as the active partition). Whenever I rebooted, I would get the message "Boot MGR is missing". I could not even use the recovery partition (Q and S) on the HDD. So my notebook was totally unusable. Fortunately, I had burned 4 Recovery DVD's, as soon as the OS was operational. The first recovery DVD booted OK. However, the system would not recognize any of the 3 other recovery DVD, displaying a message such as wrong disk inserted or something similar. Imagine if in a few months I had needed to use these recovery DVD that I had burned; they were completely useless and I would have nothing to recover with. Very scary !
    - I explained the problem to Lenovo Support and they sent me within 3 days a set of 4 Rescue & Recovery DVD. By following the instructions, it took 2 hours to recover to a working system. The good: no Office or McAfee trial software came with this recovery. The bad: there was a 2 GB empty partition at the beginning of the HDD and 10 GB of unallocated space at the end of the disk. Why Lenovo would do this, I don't know; seems a bit sloppy to me. Also, I had to manually reconfigure everything, since there is no "just follow the instructions" as when configuring the "out-of-the-box" system. I had to install my own PDF viewer
    (free open source PDF X-viewer http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer), Adobe Flash, etc...
    - the major problem in partitioning is the inability to shrink a partition (such as C) in order to free up space after to add extended partitions
    (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/working-around-windows-vistas-shrink-volume-inadequacy-...). There always seems to be VISTA unmovable files, MBR or something else. After reading numerous posts, I installed the trial version (30 days) of Raxco PerfectDisk Home edition in order to consolidate all the files to the front of the C: drive. A few iterations were required since the MBR seems to be placed in the middle of the partition. I was finally able to partition my HDD exactly as I wanted. I was so pleased with the efficiency and ease of use of PerfectDisk that I bought the Pro 10 version. Just wait for when the software is occasionally discounted. (http://www.perfectdisk.com/home)
    VISTA User account setup:
    I had created my E partition to store all user data of all accounts, since I would have multiple accounts on the computer. I also wanted to store all music and pictures in the Public folder on F partition. There are numerous methods described on the Internet, most of which seem too complicated. See http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-vista/ and
    http://www.vista4beginners.com/Move-user-files-folders-to-another-partition?page=1. I finally decided to do just 2 simple registry modifications described in the last post here
    (http://superuser.com/questions/6391/moving-users-folder-on-windows-vista-seven-to-another-partition).
    It worked for me but use at your own risk ! Just edit the 2 Registry keys and replace the C: drive by the one you need.
    - I only had the Admin account created on the C: partition. Before creating any other user accounts, I modified the registry so that all new user accounts created would use my E partition.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList  ProfilesDirectory = E:\Users
    - I modified the registry so that the Public folder would be on my F partition.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList  Public = F:\Public
    Other notes of interest:
    - I had been a long-time subscriber to the Fred Langa Langalist
    (http://www.langa.com/backups/backups.htm). I now subscribe to the excellent Windows Secrets newsletter (http://www.windowssecrets.com/). The information provided is very useful.
    - I had considered an inexpensive boot manager, partition manager and imaging software (BootIt Next Generation) highly recommended by Fred Langa
    (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm). But it seemed a bit like overkill for my needs. There is a fully-functioning trial version.
    - I regularly consult a complete list of recommended free software on Gizmo's Freeware review (http://www.techsupportalert.com). One recommended free open source defragmenter which I did not use was MyDefrag (http://www.mydefrag.com/).
    - download and install the latest version of the Lenovo System Tools (Toolbox). It is very easy to use and can troubleshoot all hardware problems. Search for MIGR-67520 on the Lenovo site.
    - you can find Roxio DVD burning software on the Lenovo site (MIGR-72359 on the Lenovo site). I have not installed it yet.
    - use the Lenovo System Update to keep your drivers up-to-date.
    - for info on how to use switchable graphics, search on the Lenovo site for MIGR-70495.
    - for tips on setting battery parameters, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=320082
    Recommendations to Lenovo:
    - don't ship poor quality keyboards. You have too much to lose, for the small manufacturing savings.
    - don't pre-install trial versions of Office or McAfee. This should be an option and not be forced onto buyers.
    - at least ship the HDD with a 40 GB C primary partition and the rest as D: partition. This would make it easier for users who are not technical.
    - if you are going to include an integrated camera, provide software to use it. Currently, I have no way of taking a picture or making a video without acquiring other software. The technique described here
    (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67413) does not work !
    - provide some software to reduce the speed of the DVD drive when watching movies. The noise at the default maximum speed is very annoying.

    people complaining about problems installing an office over another office are (dare i say it) stupid. it makes absolutely no sense installing one over the trial version. just uninstall the trial and you'll be fine. every single time.
    as for problem with uninstalling mcafee (or any other antivirus, for that matter, just download the uninstaller from the software company e.g. http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 for mcafee.
    that said i believe you get to choose if you want mcafee and/or office when you go through the inital boot, the "on-screen instructions"
    you can slow down the odd via power manager

  • Initial setup: Is it possible without using DSL?

    Hi!
    My wife bought a 2TB Time Capsule, to be used only as a wireless external hard drive, as we don't need the Extreme AirPort base part of it.
    She's tried to set it up a couple of times without connecting it to our DSL box, but without success.
    My question is simple: Is it possible to set up Time Capsule without having to connect to the internet, and if so, how?
    Thanks in advance,

    +First, your idea of connecting the Time Capsule to the modem would only be for the initial setup, right?+
    To use this installation option, you would need to consider this as a permanent setup. If this will not meet your requirements, then two choices remain.
    +Looks as if having two separate wireless networks might be the lesser of two evils+
    Two separate networks would be the worst of two evils. If you cannot connect your modem and Time Capsule together permanently using an ethernet connection, then the next best option would be to have the Time Capsule connect to and "join" your existing wireless network. That is why I keep asking for the information to provide you with instructions to configure it this way.
    If you want to go the two separate wireless network route, I just want to make sure that you understand that the Time Capsule automatically backs up any changes that you have made each hour. You will need to manually switch wireless networks for backups to occur. Do you really want to do this? If not, backups will be missed and delayed, and I cannot offer much assurance that you will have future reliable operation.
    But, it's your choice and I offered to help with the setup if you will decide which route you want to take. It's either 1) Join your existing wireless network and everything will be pretty much invisible for your backups, or 2) setup a separate network and manually switch to the Time Capsule network each time you want to perform a backup. Which would you prefer?

  • Initial setup and Open Directory problem

    Hi,
    I'm new to the MAC OS X server system and trying to get one up and running on a G5.
    Unfortunately I can’t get the configuration up and running, and I have the feeling it already goes wrong during the initial setup. I was hoping you guys could help me out.
    The purpose of the server is providing network user accounts (DNS + Open Dir.) and providing sharepoints.
    I go trough following steps while installing from scratch:
    - Install MAC OS X and run the Server install package from the OS X Server DVD (as you know, OSX Server is'n installing directly on G5)
    - Choose keyboard layout, enter license and create an account "admin"
    - Define static IP "192.168.1.1", add this IP as the first in the list of DNS Servers, add "company.local" in the search domain
    - Install as a standalone server (so I can configure dns & other network services after basic setup)
    - Check "network time server" (so time will be synced for Kerberos)
    - Proceed, install and reboot
    OSX Server seems to be installed fine and I can login with "admin". Next step I take is configuring DNS.
    - create a zone "companyname.local.", use my IP as server address (192.168.1.1) and use "server" as the server name.
    - add a machine record for DNS-testing (called "gateway", with the IP of "192.168.1.254")
    Start the DNS service and reboot
    - perform an nslookup with a second MAC with 192.168.1.1 as the nameserver and verify that DNS is resolving correctly.
    DNS seems to be working fine, now I would like to get the Open Directory service to work:
    - change "Standalone" to "Open directory master" in the server configuration panel
    - provide a password for the directory admin
    - use "SERVER.COMPANYNAME.LOCAL" as kerberos realm, and "dc=server,dc=companyname,dc=local" as the search base
    - Save & start the service and perform a reboot to be sure all the new settings are in use
    Unfortunately after this install open directory doesn't seem to work fine and also Kerberos doesn't start.
    Concerning Kerberos: I get following output in the "Slapconfig log" Open Directory log file:
    Starting LDAP server (slapd)
    command: /usr/bin/ldapadd -c -x -D uid=root,cn=users,dc=maggie,dc=interesourcegroup,dc=local -w **
    Hostname server.companyname.local is from Rendezvous
    Skipping Kerberos configuration
    Sorry to bother you with the entire walkthrough of the installation, but I have the feeling that I'm missing something while performing the basic install or DNS setup .. ?
    Regards,
    Seppe
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) /

    We currently have a static IP and a public dns hosted
    by MediaTemple, so I think I can create a subdomain
    on MediaTemple and link it to our fixed IP address
    ("private.companyname.com" >> static ip) instead of
    using dydns.. ?
    Of course.
    I suppose I can then use "private.companyname.com" as
    the zone name on my G5 server and use
    "server.private.companyname.com" for my local DNS?
    Sounds reasonable.
    If using this DNS, what will be the Kerberos REALM
    and Search Base? And do I still need to specify
    private.companyname.com as the Search Base in the
    Network Settings of the clients and server?
    Well, REALM and LDAP Search Base can set to whatever you like. On the other hand I've seen tools contacting kerberos servers break when the REALM is not part of the kerberos server fqdn.
    So I'd stick with the usual recomandations and set kerberos REALM to your domain name (if there is no other kerberos server alread running and using this).
    For the LDAP search domain I'd also follow the road of using domain name space as search base.
    When dns will finally be setup properly, these setting will be autopopulated for you in the GUI. So test, test, test you dns with
    host $ip and host $fqdn and then go on promoting "Standalone Server" to "Open Directory Master".

  • After Effects Hanging on Initializing Media Core

    I downloaded the trial for After Effects CC 2014 to make sure it would work on my computer, but when I try to open it the start up screen hangs at initialing media core. I made sure that After Effects was allowed through the firewall, but it's still not working. I want to buy it, but I can't if it won't start. Please help!

    I can't promise this will help and I have email from Adobe support that specifically says this won't work and isn't the problem. So if you want to try this, it's just working advice from some shlub who wants the software to work and doesn't care whose feelings are hurt. This response fixes all versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro in the CC and CC 2014 series. The file ExporterAVI.prm is bad. It has had a flaw since around 2013. Now you can fix this taking no chance with your computer or installation, so if you follow this carefully you'll do nothing to hurt your setup and if it doesn't work, just change it back.
    Each application has it's separate copy in it's separate folder, so just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\(Media Core Plug-ins)\Common
    Find the file called ExporterAVI.prm and rename it (I always just rename it to ExporterAVI.prmold
    Now run After Effects CC. If it loads, you found the problem. If it doesn't rename it back to it's original name and, no harm, no foul.
    If it does load, know that you can't export an AVI file. You need a PRM file that works. I always keep one saved. It will work for the CC version and the CC 2014 version. It is from an old copy of the original CC version of both programs.t is 159Kb and dated 8/20/2013. The properties detail tab actually says it was created on 3/27/2012. Every time an update come out that affects this, it will stop working, so just rename it again and put back in the old file and you'll get full functionality. I've had to use it six time since the update after 8/2013, but I have full functionality of all four versions of both programs, but it won't work with the current version of ExporterAVI.prm. So far, that means every time it loads an update, I have to fix the file in the After Effects CC, After Effects CC 2014, Premiere Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC 2014. The same file is used in Prelude, Encore and Media Encoder, but I don't use those programs. so I don't know if they freeze up or not.
    Also look at the last entry in your plugin loading.log file, it should say something like:
    Loading E:\Win8\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\ExporterAVI.prm
    Invalid registry entry found so the plugin will be loaded from disk.
    Loading from disk...
    and then the log ends and the program freezes.
    p.s. If you don't have a copy of the old version of the file, call Adobe, don't ask me - I can't give copies of it to anyone, I just make them because I keep backups before every update.

  • DW CS3 hangs at 'initializing files' on Mac

    I've been evaluating DW/CS3 for Mac for a number of sites
    that I run. Once during evaluation, I got into a state where DW
    would not start but would instead hang at "initializing files" and
    never actually start up. With a largely random of combination of
    Tech Article and Web Folklore, I managed to get it started and
    continued with the eval.
    Ultimately, I decided that the only thing worse than DW was
    every thing else, so I purchased it.
    Today I went to start up DW again. Same problem - it just
    won't start. Failure to launch is bad. Very bad. My copy is still
    shrink-wrapped, and I have a little bit left on my 30 day eval so I
    could return it if this is just a black hole. Is this something I
    can look forward to every couple of days in DW (and if so, is there
    a recipe for actually using the program) or should I look toward
    getting out from under this program before I break the shrinkrwap
    and getting a refund?
    Is there some way to get to advanced features like (gasp) the
    program starting? Is there some known trigger for this that can be
    avoided?
    Thanx,
    RJL

    - usually manifests if I delete site files outside DW from a
    network drive..
    - delete the site cache in question "C:\Documents and
    Settings\_your_user_name\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
    9\Configuration\SiteCache" and restart DW
    - rename the configuration directory and restart DW
    C:\Documents and Settings\_your_user_name\Application
    Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\
    -both those will force DW to rebuild the site cache or it's
    configuration
    2. DWCS3[9] "does something weird with internet"
    - I dunno if this is the actual problem, but it seems that DW
    "calls home" a fair bit, I noticed that my MSN was not loading
    either [after a particularly large number of files were added to
    bitorrent]
    solution - shutdown bitorrent, or anything else that may be
    maxing out your available tcpip connections.
    -hope it helps

    Thanks a lot no.1 did it for me.
    It took some time but the dreamweaver never hanged(I had

    Thanks a lot

  • Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 launch hangs while Initializing menus

    Can anyone please help me? Everything was fine yesterday, then today CS3 blew up. When I click to launch Photoshop CS3 Extended the application panel displays and starts listing what it's loading. Every time it reaches "Initializing menus..." the app stops responding.
    I've already performed a CS3 uninstall and then reinstall and then installed the patches, but the problem persists.
    Also, my Illustrator CS3 files will not longer open. The application becomes unresponsive. Illustrator will launch but will not open files. Problem was the same before I did the uninstall and reinstall of CS3. Problem still persists.
    This morning I had to repair my HD with Apple's Disk Utility. These problems with Photoshop and Illustrator were occurring before I repaired the disk--thought that might cure the problem.
    I'm using a PowerMac G5 dual 2 Ghz processor
    Mac OS X 10.5.2
    6 GB of RAM
    Any ideas on solutions?

    Hi - just had the same problem and found it was related to my printer...
    1. Run CS3 until it hangs (during Initializing Menus stage).
    2. Run Activity Monitor, find the CS3 process, and click the Sample Process button. In the call stack I noticed there were printer-related calls.
    3. Ran System Preferences and selected Print/Fax - it also hung.
    I had a networked printer configured.
    Then - to fix...
    1. Killed off everything.
    2. Disabled Airport.
    3. Ran System Preferences, selected Print/Fax, deleted my printer.
    4. Re-enabled Airport.
    5. Ran CS3 - worked straight away.
    Even if you don't have a printer problem the Activity Monitor step may help find out what CS3 is up to when it hangs.
    Hope this helps,
    Jon.

  • Catalyst 3750 24FS-S Initial Setup help please

    First time with Cisco and with Fibre, so a double whammy!
    I would appreciate some help from the community from someone with experience setting up a 3750 24FS Switch
    I have WS-C3750-24FS-S fibre switch that I have inherited In good working order but factory reset) which I need to configure just as a very simple Layer 2 switch where the Gbit SLIC is the uplink (trunk) and the 24 ports connect to 24 different users (Soho Router). All users and the uplink Gateway are on the same subnet, so I don't think I need Layer 3 switching, but not avers to using it if necessary to get things working.
    Firmware is v12.2(25)SEE2 and I have the switch Console connected to a PC serial port. I have gone through the initial setup process following the guide and I appear to have the initial setup done correctly but non of the ports are "UP" and I can't for the life of me see how to switch the ports on?
    MySwitch>show interfaces fastethernet1/0/1
    returns
    FastEthernet1/0/1 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)
    I can change duplex from half to full and I can set flow control up on receive, so the switch is functional programmatically speaking. But what are the magic incantations to change the "down" state to the "up" state???
    If I am posting in the wrong forum please tell me where I should post this request for help?
    Thanks

    Thank you Tom - on the money with that answer. There is no magic "up" command (other than no shut). The ports just come "up" when correctly connected. I had just about figured it out by connecting two of the 3750 Switches to each other and bingo the connected ports came up by themselves. I had previously connected the ports to an external Media Converter so I could get a wired Ethernet connection. I think the Media Converter is not doing it's job or is incompatible. All the right LEDs came on apart from FX Active! 
    Thanks for the help Tom, much appreciated.

  • UC 520 initial setup trouble

    Hi -
    I've got a UC 520 and am having trouble accessing the device to configure the initial setup.
    I can connect using the console port, but I can't access the device thru CCA.
    I do not get an IP address using DHCP when connected.
    I can no ping the default port(s) 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 when using a static IP address on the same subnet.
    I followed the steps on uc500.com to update the sfotware to 8.0.1 and to using the factory-default configuration.
    I still can not access the device using CCA. The device also does not give out IP addresses to an IP phone when connected.
    ANY tips/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Press F2 while in CCA to view console logs while CCA does it's voodoo.
    In my experience enabling telnet helps ALOT, because in the logs CCA is constantly trying to telnet, but can't if it's disabled and falls back to HTTP.
    line vty 0 4
    transport input all
    Also make sure your interfaces are not shutdown. Assuming vlan 10 is your UC520 switch vlan:
    conf t
    int fa 0/1/0 - 8
    no shut
    int vlan 10
    no shut

  • Problem in Initial setup of functional unit ADS

    Hi All,
       I started the initial setup of functional unit ADS in configuration wizard in NWCE system. The second screen was asking for options like typical or custom. I had left this screen for a while and when  i came back and choosed custom, it throwed error saying 'session expired. '
    so i closed the configuration wizard and start the Initial setup of functional unit ADS again, but this time it is in status 'currently executing' and the button 'start', 'resume' and 'reexecute' is all grayed out. 
    How to resume this configuration now ?
    Any solutions are most welcome.
    thanks

    My basis has not found a better solution so far. For now he just "bounces" the server. (shutdown and restart, just the CE instance). Please, let me know if you find a better solution. Cheers.

  • Error during Initial setup of functional unit Development Infrastructure

    Dear All,
    During the template installation of DI all-in-one (Initial setup of functional unit Development Infrastructure (DI all-in-one)) I get an error at Step 64/96 Upload Default ACL Settings.
    Error: not a valid URL: unexpected character found [':' at position 7]

    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Kind regards,

    Hi Lee,
    I think I know how to solve this. I have just solved a similar problem with my PI 7.1 EHP1. Deployment in JSPM of various software components all failed like this example:
    JSPM log:
    Deploy status is 'Aborted'
    Client path '
    pi71\sapmnt\trans\EPS\in\SAPXIAF04_7-20002649.SCA'

    After that most of the browser based admin apps, such as NetWeaver Administrator ( /nwa ), would refuse to start.
    But finally after several tests, searching on SDN+SMP and restore to backup version I found the solution in [SAP Note 1328776|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1328776] which describes a similar problem: Update to the newest version of ENGINEAPI 7.11. Today this is ENGINEAPI04P_4-20002603.SCA.
    You may also want to make sure that you are running the newest version of the Configuration Wizard, so you should check/update LMTOOLS, LMCTC and LMCFG*, currently LMTOOLS04P_3-20002705.SCA, LMCTC04P_1-20002694.SCA and LMCFG04P_4-20002729.SCA.
    I hope this proves to be useful.
