DSL Down - Looks Like a DNS Issue

Hi Everyone,
My DSL service has been down for 36 hours now and while Verizon is looking into the issue, I'd like to see if this community has any ideas as to what's going on. Here's the story:
My Internet access went down at midnight two nights ago. I have two computers and both lost their connection, so I'm confident that it's not an issue with either computer. I have an Actiontec modem/wireless router from Verizon. I have rebooted the modem, which usually resolves any issues, but in this case it didn't help. When I do an ipconfig, the DNS Suffix shows as domain_not_set.invalid, which I don't believe I've ever seen before. I'm unable to ping any sites and nslookup reports DNS failures.
Verizon is sending me a new modem, but I tried using my old Westell modem from Verizon and I'm seeing the exact same issues, so I'm thinking it's not a modem issue.
Verizon has tested my line multiple times and says everything seems fine. The issue has now been escalated to their central office to see if there is an issue there.
Since Verizon hasn't been all that helpful to date, I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and can point me in the right direction. If the central office doesn't see an issue, the next step is for a tech to come for a visit.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I should also mention that while on the phone with Verizon I reset the modem, so it's back to the factory defaults.

Oh yes, it has nothing to do with you or me or any computer, I myself am experiencing the second outage in less than a week. Mine has been down AGAIN since sometime last night. I was told when I called on Monday that nearly everyone in my area code had no service, that was an equipment problem. I finally got a call on Tuesday, an automated message, saying that is had been resolved, and so it had. For less than 2 days. Now it's out again and I see nothing at all about it here on this website. I have waited all day to use my husband's wireless card so I could catch on my stuff and also come here to see if there were some answers, but of course there are none. Big surprise. To say that I am unhappy is the understatement of the month. This is unacceptable service and it is especially galling that nothing that I have seen is giving customers explanations for this latest outage. I would like to see someone from Verizon explain what is going on here in my part of Southern California about why we keep losing our DSL service.

Blog not displaying in Chrome...looks like prototype.js issue

I have an iWeb page with a blog, and the blog does not display in Chrome. If you look at the javascript console, there is an error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object HTMLDivElement] has no method 'selectFirst'
adjustLineHeightIfTooBigiWebSite.js:604
onPageLoadGlenns_Blog.js:9
(anonymous function)Glenns_Blog.html:46
onloadGlenns_Blog.html:47
window.onloadchrome-extension://aonjhmdcgbgikgjapjckfkefpphjpgma/measureIt.js:42
Googling around, this looks like a Chromium issue, but I can't find anything newer than 2008. Looking at the code (line 604 in iWebSite.js), there is this:
{oTextBoxInnerDiv=oTextBoxOuterDiv.selectFirst("div.text-content");if(oTextBoxIn nerDiv)
In this case oTextBoxOuterDiv is an HTMLDivElement, not a prototype-enhanced DOM element, so selectFirst is not defined on it. Odd, though, that this works in all other browsers. In Firegox, oTextBoxOuterDiv is a prototype-enhanced DOM element, so it works.
Any ideas why Chrome acts this way?
Thanks,
Glenn

Looks like a pulldown issue, duplicated frames are baked into transcoded files...

Have a bit of a messy project atm...this started with a client call on my way back from a festival where I ran large format video screens as a VJ & camera switcher/editor (Sasquatch in NW USA) so I was tired from 5 solid days of work. I dropped by their studio to examine an example clip…tired and thinking they had a good test case pulled up & ready to look at.
Well, the first clip we analyzed ONLY had shutter speed issues. Checking the source file/.mov it was apparent it was shot at a shutter speed closer to 1/1000 than 1/60, adding a bit of pixel motion blur in AE solved that... In retrospect his export from FCP7 had the pulldown problems in the EXPORTED version of the clip, but we hadn't checked that (we watched the source clip play back and he sent the reference clip with me so I could match the edit). So the issues that have been in almost all subsequent clips were not present in the initial analyzed file unfortunately!   When I got back to my workspace & the files were ingested it became obvious that there's a bad pulldown at work in most of the transcoded footage. The client had mentioned it looking 'choppy' and rather than just being motion blur it was a case of duplicate frames. Bad pulldown removal...
MOST of the footage as I have it is ProRes 4:2:2 LT 29.97p with every 3rd frame duplicated (1 out of 3 duplicated rather than 1 out of 5).   The ProRes format didn't come from a digital recorder in this case, it was transcoded from the source media using a software tool to organize & collect the source media and compressor to transcode for editing. Since these 2 episodes were left in the editing pile for months, the source files are obviously *no longer around*….
In the past I've dealt with reverse pulldown issues from 24p & 24pA (where the frames are either interlaced or duplicated to achieve the pulldown) but these all give a 5 frame cadence. Also when done correctly they don't destroy good frames and leave frame dupes. What we have here seems more like improperly handled PsF (via HDMI or SD output from 1080p cameras) or pulldown incorrectly applied to 29.97 over 60i/59.94i, or...?   In any case these are destined for 60i broadcast, so simply interlacing them again to create the 3rd frame is out of the question, and frame blending isn't much better than the dupe frames.
Removal of every 3rd frame which (since that = every 2nd frame) obviously gives a visual "jump" over the now removed dupe frame, and leaves footage has to be converted from 20p to 29.97 which looks horrible regardless of how its done (conformed or interpolated).    Removal of every 3rd frame from 29.97 is actually not too hard, as 2/3rds of the frames are still 'good' it's easy to
apply a conform to the file headers bringing the rate down to 19.98p, bringing that into AE and creating a comp that's set to 'preserve frame rate when nested' under advanced, then putting that into a 29.97 comp..., that works relatively well but the missing frames STILL need to be replaced somehow...
To make matters worse, some clips have a cadence that doesn't stay consistent (the repeated frames will 'jump' from every 3rd periodically), OR worse yet there are sometimes 4-6 duplicated frames in a row (???), and then other sequences have only occasional frames repeated (meaning they need to be identified manually by stepping frame by frame). Some of this is potentially due to rounding errors in the pulldown, but there's got to be something more amiss as is evident by the other inconsistencies...very odd.
In any case what do to about the 3rd frames that need to be 'repaired' or 'created'? This is the crux of my issue, and software interpolation alone isn't going to cut it... Since a simple pass on the entire clip(s) causes vast sections get time stretched (not just every 3rd frame synthesized but rather the whole thing interpolated), I tried going in and setting timestretch keyframes manually (so I could manually stretch the area where the 3rd frame needs to be 'created). As the software applies motion techniques that obviously assumes the distance between frames in both directions is equal...well it just replaces 1 visual problem (dupe frames) with another (visual distortions).   This has been the case with ALL the software tried so far...
I've tried AE's native higher quality mode (rather than just frame blending, which will look awful. Twixtor (demo) in AE, Smoke (autodesk), DaVinci Resolve (Light version but I have access to the GPU accellerated version as well) & Apple's Motion. All do a horrible job (FootageFIxing directory examples in dropbox) of handling this automatically, which I expected. However I had originally intended to simply 'replace' every duplicated frame using the interpolated footage, this resulted in WORSE matching to surrounding frames due to the poor interpolation not matching up well on many frames than frame blending, not better (portions of the frame 'jump' out of alignment with both the previous & following frames, after analysis it acts like a spine with a midpoint that is not parallel to a line drawn between the start & end points).
So dropping 29.97 to 20p then synthesizing every 3rd frame (until cadence jumps) is where I'm at. Once done synthesized frames have to be checked and a huge % of them (when there's motion on a person in the scene or camera pans etc) have elements…or whole frames…that are incorrectly synthesized. So pieces of surrounding frames have to be roto'd & composited into selective areas to 'patch' the portions that get 'squashed', 'stretched' or 'rippled' into position (VERY VERY noticeable).
Lastly, due to a variety of shutter speeds used the motion blur across frames is also an issue, so once a shot has been correctly re-synthesized for the missing frames it must be evaluated for whether motion blur is required, which brings us back to the rendering process that was assumed at the start of this (in other words final output of each clip may need motion blur in post before delivery).
At this point I'm left with doing the synthesis of the 3rd frame and 'repairing' the areas of that which distort too heavily, or duplicate (some of the camera pans are done to track high speed motion, birds flying through frame etc)...
Anyone have any interesting techniques I could try, beyond telling the studio I'm working with that they're hosed (that discussion is coming but I'm going to show best efforts and the timeframe required to achieve that across all shots/edits)....

Oh and the easier way to removing the dupe frames was just to drop it to 19.984, set (nested) comp advanced settings to 'preserve framerate when nested' and watch for the occasional rounding error when back in a 29.97 container composition. It would be nice to be able to specify 29.976...
In any case the missing frame needs to be replaced, not removed. The visual jump i that gap actually looks to be closer to 2 frames when motion of objects is estimated by hand.
Also (as I think I mentioned) other clips seem to have even further oddities.
The reality is that I can actually create smoother motion by doing a lot of hand massaging of the footage (scaling previous frames in simple pans, hand-rotoscoping/masking/compositing in sections of frames around missing ones to synthesize motion in onscreen talent & background objects, things tracked across the screen by the camera and so on.
But that's a heck of a lot of work and probably beyond what's achievable at present I suspect...

Looks like the big issue in this update is with mail

with Gmail being the bigger of the problems, but Im also having slight issues with yahoo....
Problems arent unexpected. and of course I submitted it to Apple, but I really hope its a quick fix, I rely on my gmail for many things.

its spotty, but definitely getting reported more and more.
Its usable, just have to send a few times, and people are getting duplicate emails from google apparently.
Who knows. Wasnt like this before and Im sure there will be a fix and it will clear up nicely, just hope not to wait too long for the fix, whether it be update or someone figures it out.
Tried resetting my account with same results

DNS Issues with Time Capsule - DNS Proxy periodically dies

hi all .... looking for some suggestions
I have a time capsule 1TB, connected to a linksys adsl modem in bridge mode, with the TC acting as DHCP server for my local clients. In the PPPoE settings I also enter the primary and secondary addresses for DNS that my ISP supplied.
I am able to successfully connect to the internet, and all clients successfully pick up an IP address, and each client picks up the TC as the DNS proxy. Everything works perfectly as it should.
Usually once per day, there seems to be a slight hickup with the internet connection (hard to tell whether I am losing the PPPoE or some other issue). When this happens, the PPPoE connection remains active, as I am able to access anything on the internet from an IP level. However, the DNS proxy service on the TC seems to die and as a result, all internet browsing fails. If I reboot the TC, everything comes back to normal. If I dont reboot, the only way to get browsing working is to manually enter the DNS IP address from ISP into the client PCs. However, this is a manual fix that I should not have to perform.
Looking for advice and guidance. Seems like a bug but I cant tell. If I was able to set the DHCP server to pass out the ISP supplied addresses that would also work, but I cant.

Just got off the phone with support for this very same problem. DNS Proxy is definitely dying in the TC, looks like a firmware issue to me.
This is the 3rd TC I'm on. First was a 500GB, had this problem, replaced it under warranty at Apple's direction, replacement did the same, just upgraded this weekend to 1GB, and same issue still. All on 7.3.2 firmware.
TC 1TB, PPPoE to my ISP, ISP's DNS Servers listed in the PPPoE config in the TC.
When a host gets DHCP from the TC the only DNS returned is the TC itself, since it proxies the ISP DNS servers.
Once every day or two, the DNS proxy dies. local network works, and I can add my ISP's DNS addresses in my host config and I have DNS again, but this is definitely something dying in the DNS proxy in the TC.
Just for kicks trying to switch from my ISP's DNS servers to OpenDNS now since someone said that worked for them, but I am not hopeful... I don't see this as a host DNS issues at all.
The dead proxy is very clear:
$ nslookup apple.com. 192.168.1.1 # that's the TC
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53
** server can't find apple.com: SERVFAIL
$ nslookup apple.com. 208.67.222.222 # that's OpenDNS
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: apple.com
Address: 17.149.160.49
I replaced a linksys router with the TC and am kind of unhappy that a $500 router dies every couple of days. My cheapo Linksys router never needed to be restarted, it only ever got rebooted once every year or so when the house lost power long enough for the UPS to run out of battery.
Help us out here Apple, I replaced a $50 router with a $500 because I like the flavor of your kool aid, and this thing dies every day or two. Even if you can't fix why the proxy is dying every couple of days, can you please at least update the firmware to maybe restart the proxy if it quits working?

Drill down in a report : UI issue

This looks like a silly issue. Here it is: I created a link in a column in tabular forms, it's working fine. But when i created the same for Interactive report, functionally it's working correctly, but it showing #col_name# for each row value of the column. The attribute link text = #col_name#
Can anyone tell me that why I am not able to see the data values in the column in interactive form, whereas they are visible in tabular form.

Hi,
OK - this is what I have done.
I have created an Interactive Report with the following SQL statement:
SELECT EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR
FROM EMP
ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME)I then create three new page items (all in the same region as the report):
P231_MGR - this is a "Hidden" item. There are no special settings on this item
P231_MGR_ENAME - this is a "Display Only" item. For this item, the Source settings are:
Source Used: Always, replacing any existing value in session state
Source Type: SQL Query (return single value)
Source value or expression:
SELECT NVL(MIN(ENAME),'-None-')
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPNO = :P231_MGR
P231_LAST_MGR - this is another "Hidden" item. For this item, the Source settings are:
Source Used: Always, replacing any existing value in session state
Source Type: SQL Query (return single value)
Source value or expression:
SELECT MIN(MGR)
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPNO = :P231_MGRI then went back to the Interactive Report and changed the SQL to:
SELECT EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR
FROM EMP
WHERE NVL(MGR,0) = NVL(:P231_MGR,0)
ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME)(as P231_MGR is now a page item on the page, I can use it in the WHERE clause to filter the data)
I then created a button on the page called P231_UP_BUTTON, with a Text Label of "Up". The Button Position was set to "Top of Region" and the Button Alignment was set to "Left".
For this button, in the Conditions section, I have set:
Condition Type of: Value of Item in Expression 1 Is NOT NULL
Expression 1: P231_MGR
(that just stops the Up button from appearing in there is no Up available)
I then added a Branch to the page. The settings for this are:
Branch Point: On Submit: After Processing (After Computation, Validation, and Processing)
Target Type: Page in this Application
Page: 231 (which is the current page)
Set these items: P231_MGR
With these values: &P231_LAST_MGR.
When Button Pressed: P231_UP_BUTTON (Up)
Finally, I edited the MGR column on the report and made the following settings:
Display Type: Standard Report Column
Column Heading: &nbsp;
Link Text: Show employees for #ENAME#
Target: Page in this Application
Page: 231
Item 1 (Name): P231_MGR
Item 1 (Value): #EMPNO#
And that was it!
Now, when the user clicks one of the links, this sets the value of the P231_MGR page item to the EMPNO for the item. The other two page items then retrieve the ENAME for the manager selected plus the MGR value (to use with the Up button)
When the user clicks the Up button, the branch is triggered and the value of P231_MGR is set to the MGR value stored in the hidden P231_LAST_MGR item

My Menu names look like old bitmap graphics. What happened?

Not sure when this happened but the menu fonts both headers and in the drop downs look like poor bitmap fonts and not smooth like they used to. My screen resolution is set tot he max and I don't have zoom turned on. Any ideas?

Go into your system preferences and check appearance then make sure Use LCD font smoothing when available is checked.

Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Camera settings? The video looks like you are looking down

The video on the iPad looks like you are looking down rather than at the screen. Very irritating when using FaceTime. Is there a way to fix that?

The camera is at the top of the screen. You can see where it is. If you want your contact to see your eyes looking right at them, look into the camera and not the middle of the screen. It might also help if you hold the iPad as far away from your face as possible.
This is just physics and topology - there's no way to "fix" it. You're dealing with the same issues that TV newsfolk have to contend with for every broadcast.
