CRES maintenance coming October 10th, 2009 - New times!

Update - 2009-09-29
Based on your feedback, we are delaying the maintenance start time to 15:00 PST (22:00 UTC). The duration remains 6 hours and the day is still October 10th, 2009.
The Cisco Registered Envelope Service (CRES) will be temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our infrastructure. We thank you for your patience. This release contains many new features and functionality as well as improvements to the stability and performance of our hosted infrastructure. To learn more view the complete release announcement https://www.ironportnation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1482
New IP ranges:
As part of this upgrade, we will be moving our outbound email servers to a new set of IP addresses. Customers who have TLS require set up by IP range or firewall rules specific to res.cisco.com will need to modify their infrastructure to accommodate the new IP ranges.
208.90.57/26
204.15.81/26
216.206.186.129/25 *
* This is the original CRES ip range. During this migration we recommend you support all three sets of IP ranges
These ranges can also be queried using our published SPF record.

As a best practice we recommend using the hostname rather than IPrange to
configure TLS. For more information see Knowledge Base article 1442 http://preview.tinyurl.com/l2nbv7.
Maintenance Duration:
 Saturday, October 10th from 15:00 - 21:00 PST
(Sat 22:00:00 - Sun 04:00:00 UTC)
Impact:
During the maintenance window it will not be possible to open PXE encrypted messages. CRES admins will not be able to log into the administration interface and senders of PXE encrypted messages may receive bounce messages. All services will be restored once the upgrade is concluded. Any bounced messages can be resent at that time.
Note: This is in addition to our regularly scheduled maintenance window from 10 AM to 11 AM Pacific Time on the last Saturday of every month. Complete Terms of Service are available on the CRES web site https://res.cisco.com.

Good point.
The old email servers will stop sending mail after the cutover on October 10th.
The new email servers are available now and the team is running TLS connection tests from them. As we get closer to the rollout, we will both send reminders out to everyone and reach out directly to the customers to whom our TLS connection tests fail.

Based on your feedback, we are delaying the maintenance start time to 15:00 PST (22:00 UTC). The duration remains 6 hours and the day is still October 10th, 2009.
Cisco Systems is pleased to announce a major upgrade of the Cisco Registered Envelope Service (CRES) scheduled for October 10th, 2009. The service will be temporarily unavailable during the upgrade, more information on the maintenance window is available https://www.ironportnation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1483.
This upgrade contains a variety of features and fixes:
New Feature: Automated TLS configuration for Secure Reply
Cisco Registered Envelope Service administrators now have the ability to test and request for provisioning domains for TLS Secure Reply via the UI. Previously, this action required direct Customer Support interaction.
New Feature: PXE Sender Registration
PXE Secure Envelope senders can be configured to receive a welcome email inviting them to sign-up to the CRES User Portal for the purpose of managing their sent Secure Envelopes.
New Feature TLS fall back mechanism
Customers who opt for TLS Secure Reply can now configure their accounts to "fall back" to "Registered Envelope Delivery" if the SMTP-TLS connection fails. This will be the default configuration going forward. Existing customers will need to change their configuration if they want to take advantage of this feature.
New Feature: Progress Bar for file downloads in JavaScript restricted environments
If a recipient's browser disallows JavaScript and the recipient downloads a file, the download progress is indicated by a progress bar.
Fixed: Error Adding Image Via Admin GUI
Fixed: “Forget Me on This Computer” Not Working
Fixed: User Transaction Report Not Working
Fixed: Error Message Missing When Cookies Not Enabled
Fixed: Using a BlackBerry and a Webmail Provider (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.)

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

Blue page , Apple Hot News OCtober 16 2009, then it hangs .

Ok now I have no idea what is going on here. My nephew got on my computer today through firefox to do some homework ( he is like 10 years old) assigned by school . HE is a trouble maker and so have that in mind. He was told not to touch anything and just do his homework through the web page he was on and the firefox. I walk away for less than 5 minutes and when I come back, I see that the computer is rebooting . It actually runs from a secondary disk on 10.5.8 and 10.3.9 on primary internal disk. It was booting on the primary ( 10.3.9) , so I asked the kid what happened and he said that it hung and that he pressed the restart button. I thereafter rebooted which did bring the computer up on the external drive which is running on 10.5.8. The problem is a few minutes into the boot, after the computer comes up, somehow it runs something by itself that clears the desktop and replaces it with a blue screen with clouds, and then Apple logo , together with something like Apple Hot News, October 16, 2009 displays, and then page goes blank with a faint column of words displaying about 1/3 way frem the left side. Next is the computer either just hangs ( dies) on that page or it acts as though its going to sleep with screen going off and unresponsive thereafter. It takes pressing the restart button to shut down the computer and depressing it again to restart the computer.
I am not really sure if the kid has done something that has started this but it is happening again and again. I have used the MAC OS disk and ran dissk utility , repair comes out clean and repair permission gives a bunch of messages which I previously have noted that are problems with 10.5.8
I have tried to run activity monitor and console in hope of finding something but I am not knowledgeable enough to do so. Console has barfed over 4000 messages in the past two hours and the mail seems to be the process that is using most cpu , other than that I guess I am just sitting and waiting for it to happen again so maybe I see something. I am actually afraid of walking away even for a minutes as it seems that its like waiting for me to walk away so that it crashes
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Update: Using Remote Install I was able to remotely boot my mac from another laptop's CDROM drive and run Disk Utility from the installer which again passed with out errors like the fsck command. I also repaired disk permissions. Upon reboot to the internal SSD, I am again getting the same blue screen.
So, since I can boot remotely and my disk seems to check out ok I am guessing now that there is something wrong with my OS, some kind of corruption has occurred, but that is just a guess. It is possible I guess for there still to be an actual hard drive or hard ware failure of some kind.
Any help is still appreciated.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups. I use a synology DS212 for my time machine. Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014. As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012. Not sure what that is.

This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
(I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

World Clock doesn't reflect new time in Santiago

World clock on my iPad and also iPhone don't reflect to new time in Santiago, who went one hour forward on Saturday night.
Any ideas?

The iPad, iPod, iPhone doesn't recognize the change. Officially (to the world) the "summer time hour" change last days of October in Chile, not early September. You need to change the hour manually and choose Buenos Aires time hour.
Three years ago, the Chilean government forward the summer time hour.
I hope this help.

The Oracle related ones will probably available for download via the content builder etc shortly.
Mine can be seen here http://www.slideshare.net/MGralike , but you will not be able to download them (although maybe you are allowed via the Oracle content builder part). The reasons regarding them (aka mine) to be on "seen only", are that there went a lot of work and stress into them, the topics are not always clear if you weren't their (mostly slides with only pictures) so I want it to be in the right context and/or my company paid for the time making them (so I am only the representative on this on behalve of them).
If you have a valid reason that you me really need them then you could always drop me a line.

CRES Maintenance...What will user's see when attempting to open an envelope?

With the CRES maintenance March 21 (https://supportforums.cisco.com/announcement/12425896/cisco-registered-envelope-service-tls-certificates-and-maintenance), if a user does try to open an encrypted message, which directs them to CRES, what will they see? Will they see a page announcing that the service is down for maintenance as well as the downtime or will the request just time out or something?

During the maintenance window it will not be possible to open PXE encrypted messages. CRES admins will not be able to log into the administration interface (https://res.cisco.com/admin) and senders of PXE encrypted messages may receive bounce messages.
All services will be restored once the upgrade is concluded. Any bounced messages can be resent at that time.
While the CRES servers are not available via HTTPS, the ESA should hold the emails in queue locally, retrying the connection periodically. These emails will wait in this queue for the period configured in the encryption profile. If the configured timeout period is exceeded, the email will bounce back to the user.
Please review your settings using the following steps:
1) Go to Security Services > Cisco IronPort Email Encryption
2) Click on the configured encryption profile(s)
3) Expand the 'Advanced' section
4) Review the 'Encryption Queue Timeout' setting
The default value is 14400 seconds (4 hours), so unless you may have changed this setting, a 2 hour maintenance window should not cause any emails to bounce.
And - just reminder - monthly maintenance does occur on the CRES service:
https://res.cisco.com/websafe/termsOfService
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The Service is subject to scheduled downtime from 10 AM to 12 PM Pacific Time on the first and third Saturday of every month.

Is Microsoft Office coming out with a newer version soon?

I couldn't find it anywhere online... I mean, the current version is 2004, so does anyone know if they are coming out with a new one anytime soon?
I just don't want to buy that version, and have the new one come out in a month.
Thanks!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If I hadn't gotten my copy of office:mac 'free' (if one excludes the premium one already pays for MacBooks) at the time of purchase from my Apple Store, I'd be running NeoOffice, too.
Might yet, as office:mac is feeling old and clunky and, as someone has already posted, the next version of Office isn't due out till late next year.

LabWindows/CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine update

I wanted to let everyone know that NI has released an udpated CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine. Information on what bug(s) this update fixes can be found here. If you are currently not using the CVI 2009 Run-Time Engine, you do not need to install this update.
This is an updated installation of the CVI Run-Time Engine, not a patch. If you download and install this update it will upgrade whichever version of the CVI Run-Time Engine you currently have to version 9.1.0.428 (CVI 2009 released with version 9.1.0.427). One way to find out which version of the CVI Run-Time Engine you have installed is to view the version number of c:\windows\system32\cvirte.dll. If you install version 9.1.0.428, any installer distributions that you create from any version of the CVI ADE will include version 9.1.0.428.
If you have not yet installed LabWindows/CVI 2009, it's recommended that you install this update, either before or after you install CVI 2009.

To be clear, the original problem that you reported ("Attempt to free pointer to memory not allocated by malloc() or calloc()") might very have been the problem that this patch fixed, which was in fact new to 2009. But that problem only happens if there were actual plots in the graph.
However, after looking at the "dynamic memory is corrupt" isse some more, it turns out that it is actually expected behavior, believe it or not. This is a limitation of easytab controls, caused by how they use callback chaining in their implementation. Whenever a panel or a control has its callback chained, you cannot change the callback, or make a copy of it after the chaining takes place. This is described in the EasyTab_ConvertFromCanvas function help ("...For the same reasons, do not call DuplicatePanel or DuplicateCtrl on any of these panels or controls after the Easy Tab control has been created.").
As you probably have read elsewhere, easytab controls are quite obsolete. They were a stopgap "solution" to the problem of there not being a native tab control in the CVI user interface library. Native tab controls were finally added in CVI 8.0, and so we recommend that, if possible, users update their code to use these instead.

WiFi no longer working with new Time Capsule-can you help please?

Hi all,
Just received my new Time Capsule (TC). It was a little problematic setting up, but probably due to my now choosing to increase my security from WEP to WPA as the TC set-up assistant suggests. Since then, I have had numerous problems getting my other computers and now my iPhone to connect with WiFi.
The problem is that despite entering all the new settings and WPA passwords for my connection with the TC, the iPhone will either momentarily recognize and go to wifi or simply stay on Edge.
On the former, with wifi active, as soon as I go to iTunes, Safari or check email, it reverts to Edge. On the latter, despite resetting, entering password, or tapping Settings and selecting my wifi connection, it will NOT connect and stays on Edge.
(Now, I'm on Edge! I'm bummed that with new hardware I have new problems that didn't exist before!)
Can someone who had this same problem tell me how they resolved it.
Here's the one clue I have, but would rather not resort to: When I first set up the TC, I had it on WEP with a WDS Network, and everything was working great and FAST! Now that I have increased the security—I will be backing up 3 computers to the TC—my iPhone and other computers seem to have intermittent or no wifi connection as a result.)

Irving Gonzales,
If your computers are 802.11N capable, you might want to try an advanced setup that might help your Time Machine speeds some. I have not personally tested it, so it is just a personal theory at this point.
First, in a mixed environment the 802.11N clients all get slowed down.
First, configure the TC for 802.11N only.
Second, connect the Airport Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule
Third, configure the Airport Express for bridged mode (doesn't give out IP addresses), and for its own wireless network with a different name than the Time Capsule.
Have any 802.11b/g clients like the iPhone join the Airport Express' network.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

CRES maintenance coming October 10th, 2009 - New times!
