Exchange Store unavailable for 30 seconds to 1 minute randomly

We are running Exchange 2003. Lately, in the afternoons, the connection to the server/store will drop for about a minute before it comes back. The server itself is still online and can be reached. The event viewer shows no errors, just the "Information" events where the services are stopping and the starting (Routing Engine, Exchange Store Driver, etc). I originally thought this might be due to a backup running at the same time, but it happened today with no backups having ran since Friday evening. Anyone experienced this before, any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
Can the issue be reproduced or it just appears randomly? As we all see, the Exchange is unavailable due to the related service is restarted. Please make sure no third party software affect this. I also suggest you download ExBPA to have a health check for the Exchange Server.
If the issue can be reproduced or it occurs periodically, we need to collect dump information when the problem happen. Forum is not a good place for this type of troubleshooting. You may need to contact our CSS if you wanna a further troubleshooting on this.
Thanks,
Elvis

"The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" when adding second Exchange account to Outlook 2013

I have a problem that I've found to be typical, just haven't found anything that describes my exact problem.
I'm having trouble adding a second Exchange 2010 server account to Outlook 2013 in one of the computers of the domain. Outlook 2013 will complain with "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
this action".
I've Googled and found many threads with the same error... however most of those seem to be either a problem with the server, or the Global Catalog in Active Directory, or the "connection method" (I've tried all found solutions to no avail).
This is not the case, since the first account is added with absolutely no problem. It can send and receive and I can delete the outlook profile and recreate it and it'll give no problems. I have this problem only when adding a second account.
This is a fresh Windows 8.1 install with an up-to-date Outlook 2013. I have other computers in the same domain and network, with the same setup (Win 8.1 + Outlook 2013) configured with two exchange accounts with no problem.
There are no connectivity problems, I can access that same account through OWA and in other computers on the network... the Global Catalog seems to be fine (shows two active DCs, which is correct).
I've tried deleting and recreating the outlook profiles, repairing the outlook installation, even deleting all outlook files in AppData and letting it recreate them, with no success.
Any hints of what could be going on?
Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Hi Javier,
Thank you for the update.
I have tested on my lab and get following result.
Lab: Exchange 2010, CAS Array (CAS01+CAS02), MBX01, DC
Type Server Field
Check name result
Changed Server Field
CAS01.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
CASArray.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
DC.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
MBX01.domain.com
No
"The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
Based on my knowledge, the reason why inputing DC FQDN in the Server Field fixes this issue is that Outlook performs AD Lookup and finds the account configuration from AD, then back the CAS Array FQDN in the Server Field instead of DC FQDN.
Exchange 2010 is different from Exchange 2013, if you are using Exchange 2013, we need to input MailboxServerGUID.domain.com into Server Field.
If there is anything I’ve misunderstood, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Fan

My ipad 3 Bluetooth stops working for several seconds every few minutes

My ipad Bluetooth stops working for a few seconds every few minutes...very annoying. Any solutions?

firefox has become a somewhat of a pig. it is actually funny and i know this problem will soon be cured but.... here was this "anti-IE" thing that came out a while ago saying "we're the fastest browser in the world" and indeed they were. as a 13 year microsoft employee/veteran i was reluctant to try it, but try it i did. that was years ago. now all of a sudden here i am and for the past several months at least, firefox has been pausing every few seconds or so. it is totally annoying and has me researching the cause. i'm a techie/quite computer literate and know how to tweak and configure to get every last ounce of speed out of my system. let me tell you... firefox is no longer the fastest browser on the planet.... they have issues. why? they have a lot of code and maintaining a complex piece of software (they are finding) is not easy. BUT, the problem lies within firefox's code base... i've used the latest version of IE, safari and chrome and neither is suffering from the pausing problem.
how can you repro this problem? go to any webform (gmail, this forum, et al) and start typing... there will be an annoying pause every few seconds. while pausing, firefox pages out to disk, despite there being TONS of physical memory available... AND i have set my system to NO pagefile, yet firefox is paging...
or, go to a long webpage (e.g. ebay and set the search results to 200. then just use your cursor to scroll down the page) and you'll see the same problem.
hurry firefox... fix this annoying problem. i've been a happy and loyal FF user for at least 5 years

Mac OS X Mountain Lion unavailable for download in Nigeria Apple Store.

My Apple ID is logged into Nigeria Apple Store but Apple says MAC OS X Mountain Lion is unavailable for download.....please advise.

Thanks for the interest Dah*veed, much appreciated. However, as you rightly mentioned, I'd successfully purchased the Mt Lion from Nigeria MAS but paused the download due to low speed. I'm currently in Europe hoping to resume download, ONLY to get the error "...... Mt Lion not available in Nigeria MAS". I tried to get the download going without any luck. Kindly let me know what other options are there, if any. Thank you.

HT5035 When I try to purchase something on iTunes using store credit, it says that the store credit is temporarily unavailable and iTunes can't use store credit for my purchase at this time. What do I do?

I'm trying to make a purchase using the $10 store credit that I have, but a notification box comes up saying, "Store credit temporarily unavailable. We cannot use store credit for this purchase at this time. Do you want to pay for this item with your other pay method on file?" Why is it saying this? How can I purchase this item with my store credit?

I was finally able to download itunes on my laptop, this is really a pain in the butt, not I want to purchase a song and it's asking for a credit card and I have $18.71 credit on my account. Why can't I just purchase a song using the credit that has already been put on my account.???????

Audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute

Hi There,
I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have a 3 G with 3.0. When listening to Bluetooth audio through the SYNC system of my Ford Focus, the audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute. It does this persistently.
Any fixes?

My 3GS seems to have an occasional dropout using A2DP with my Kenwood head unit, but I don't think it ever happened with my 3G (both running OS 3.0). It seems like some kind of a latency issue between the iphone and the head unit.

Flash games freeze for some seconds every some minutes

I just had a stupid moment and upgraded from Firefox 22 to 30 yesterday. I know every version adds problems and removes features, but I wanted check what is the current status.
Now, Firefox 30 freezes flash games for some seconds every some minutes. Of course, with the 22 this never happened.
The computer is identical, only Firefox is changed.
Considering the level of the answers here, I in advance say:
* no there are no viruses or malwares - I said only Firefox is changed
* yes I cleared cache cookies and other stuff people say when they do not know what else to say
* yes flash is the same version
* I have no theme and the addons are the same of the old version
* I could care less about safe mode. The old version never saw safe mode and it worked fine
Maybe there is some stupid about config setting for which Firefox want an useless disk access? something new in the version 30 I mean.
Maybe version 30 is become so inefficient that when it updates the cache it freezes totally?
I have last faint hope for some real practical suggestion, for which I thank in advance.
With FF 22 I could play flash games for hours without problems, with v 30 I need to close it every hour otherwise it takes so much RAM (up to 2 GB) it totally hangs. But hey they removed the download window, they say "use an addon". When the RAM is totally out, they say "you have too many addons". Wonder why. Next time we will need an addon for supporting images?

Hi zzzz1,
This is a really good question. It has been a while since I have tried version 22, but you have mentioned most of the recommended troubleshooting steps including: malware, clearing cache(offline), updating flash, safe mode and no new add ons.
I wonder if the new version has different system requirements.
[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/system-requirements/ version 22][https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/system-requirements/ version 30]- No.
There are add ons that optimize cache size and block flash content, as well as Ad block plus which blocks some scripts running in the browser. These could minimize the 2GB of Ram.
In all practicality, have you tried reinstalling Flash or clearing the actual flash cache. This may mess with online game storage though, so maybe not.
Have you tried a new profile? [[Using Multiple Profiles]]

Exchange Apple Store card for iTunes card

I got an Apple Store giftcard for Christmas but I would get more use out of an iTunes gift card. Is there a way to exhange them over the phone or online? There is no Apple Store close to where I live.

Apple stores are unlikely to exchange them, nor to allow you to buy iTunes gift cards them (most stores don't allow you to use gift cards to buy gift cards).
You could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Or you could try selling them (e.g. to family, friends, locally, eBay etc) and using the proceeds to buy iTunes cards

OS has been slow on program startup, freezes for up to 2 minutes

Hey everyone,
Have fixed many PCs in my day because they broke and I haven't had much experience on Macs because they just never seem to break and I am just not start where to begin troubleshooting. I have a refurbished (from Mac) Macbook Pro which I purchase about a year ago. 2.54 Ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb ram, running OS X 10.5.8 it recently has been freezing for long periods of time while starting programs.
When I got the computer it was running great, now it lags at certain times such as program startups and waking up from sleep. The freezes can range from 30 seconds to 3 minutes of idling where I can move the mouse around but the pinwheel spins and I can hear the hard drive working. It almost seems like some memory issue as if the computer is having a hard time getting going. It reminds me of windows computers that were infected with viruses that needed to be cleaned up. Sometimes it will run okay but other times if I open a program it will stall and take a while to open, most of the times when the program is finally open it runs smoothly.
The hard drive is 232 gb. I thought it might have been caused by space issues but when I freed up to 50 gb I still noticed the problem occurring. Right now I have 9 GB free - I know its low but I still don't believe it should be hanging for 3 minutes when I start some programs.
I am new to Macs but have troubleshooted many Windows computers and my question is where do I look from here? Is there a place that logs the computer activity during the slowdowns so that I can pinpont the issue?
Thanks for the help!
Here is a screenshot of activity monitor while copying a file over to an external hard drive that I have: http://i.imgur.com/4LXBN.png

I'm not sure what you mean by "crashing" but this is what has happened to me and a bunch of other users: When working with plugins that have visual analysis and with these plugins open Logic Pro lags very badly. You can't stop it. You can't make adjustments. You just wait for the lag to catch up, which sometimes takes up to two minutes, depending on the stress you are putting on the system. If this is the case with you as well, join the club. It's a problem that has been well-documented on here. It occurs for me when I open channel eq and have the visual analyzer button engaged. As soon as I open two instances I will get this lag.
I had a rather depressing conversation with a fellow at the top of tech support today, who still hadn't heard of this problem. All I can say is, CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT!!! Make sure they know this is a problem you are having! Otherwise it doesn't get placed into the heirarchy of bugs that need fixing. That's exactly what I was told today and it made me very upset because I have called support, and I have seen that many other folks have done the same. Apple is so large a company they just don't take things seriously enough to need to fix them until they receive calls. So please, call if you can! Ask to be put on with second tier support.

The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete - Cant add Outlook accounts

Hi have recently started getting the following error message when setting up new accounts with Outlook 2007:
The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
Outlook then prompts me to enter the username and password, i do so and get message again. This happens on Windows XP Professional and Vista, i cannot setup any accounts for new machines.
Points to note are that OWA works fine, and previous users who are already setup work fine also. It seems to be limited to setting up new Outlook 2007 accounts.
It can find the username fine. It comes up with green ticks underr the Online Search for your server settings:
Establish Network connection
Search for [email protected] server settings
Long on to server ---------- then it fails with a big red cross at this point
Recently i did add a second mail server to the network but it was not configured to talk to the other main mail server which was handling all the functions of mail box, CAS, hub transport. I had installed all the same roles on the second server with a view to move it across and retire the old server, the second machine is a different machine name from the main mail server. In summay my servers are:
svr001              Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 domain controller
mail                 Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
mail001            Windows 2008 Enterprise x64 non-domain controller with exchange 2007 SP1
The main box "mail" has been fine until i recently introduced this new server "mail001" into the network.
I am really stuck now and would really appreciate any pointers or steps to debug the above.
Many thanks,
Chris

The FIX IT here
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319206 works, but only for a user who's already logged in (if you just run the fix it program and do nothing else). To make it work for all users you'll need to manually edit the registry as it says in the article.
To force Outlook to use a pre-defined global catalog server, use the following steps to set the following special registry parameter to point to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Doing this over-rides any setting in the MAPI profile.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit.exe, and then click
OK.
Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider
Note You may have to create the registry path.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DS Server
Data type: REG_SZ (string)
Value data: FQDN of the global catalog server
This allowed me to roll out a bunch of laptops and not have to worry about running the Fix It for each user.
update: Sysprep seemed to remove fix. Each time a new user logged into a newly imaged laptop (on domain) same error about Outlook 2007 cannot connect to Exchange. Have tried just about everything, but all I seem to be able to do is run this stupid
Fix it each time. Luckily I don't have 1000 machines to setup because then I'd be screwed.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

New Outlook 2013 Installation - How to configure for default pop email and access exchange 2003 server for shared folders only

I have successfully installed and configured outlook 2013 to access my pop.integra.net email accounts. We have an 2003 exchange server we use for shared folders which I am having difficulty accessing.
My preference would be to set up my access to the exchange server and use the same data folders for email as are in use for my pop email account. In outlook 2003 this was simple, but in 2007 on up it seems this feature has been hobbled. Is there
a workaround to get both accounts to use the same database?
Next issue is if I use the Mail client wizard under Control Panel to set up access to the exchange server - everything looks fine but when launching outlook I receive the following 2 error messages:
"The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance."
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that your are using. Contact your administrator for assistance."
Obviously the optimal solution is to upgrade the Exchange Server - assuming that is not an option - are there any workarounds?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Downgraded to Office 2007.
So now have a new Windows 8.1 laptop with outlook 2007 installed.
From what I have been told this should allow me to connect to the Exchange2003 server
I set up the pop account - works fine
set up the exchange account through Mail.exe and am unable to launch outlook.
"Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable"
"Retry - Work Offline - Cancel"
Then
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."
The data file path is the same for both the pop account and the exchange account:
C:\Users\Scott\app data\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst
How do I get this to work?
Help!
