Finder locks up when there is network traffic

Mac Mini Intel Core Dual 2007
OSX 10.4.8
Recently i had an issue where a Mac Mini 2007 (first Intel Mini) which worked perfectly for years didn't boot anymore.
I checked ran a check of the harddisk using Disk Utility and it turned out that both boot records, the main partition and the Recovery partition were corrupt.
I was able to boot from an external disk and save my data, so i was lucky.
I replaced the harddrive and tried to install OSX from the DVD only to find out that after appx 1 minute into the install the Finder would stop working. Spinning beachball.
Maybe this drive was also bad, so i replaced the drive again with yet another harddisk. Same situation.
So maybe something happened to the memory, maybe when a certain spot on the memory gets used the Finder stops. So i replaced the memory as well. Same situation.
What else can i swap out? Video is on board, so i decided to remove the Wifi card, just as a test. Then the installer runs correctly and the Mini works as expected. I was able to reinstall OSX and since i don't use Wifi, and assuming the Wifi adapter was at fault, i left the Wifi card out and reinstalled OSX.
That was in my lab. But when i moved the Mini to its place and hooked up the ethernet cable again i got the same symptom. After appx.1 minute Finder stops.
When i boot the Mini without the ethernet cable it boots ok. When i connect the ethernet cable i get the same symptom as when i had the Wifi adapter in the Mini, after 1 minute Finder stops.
The ethernet adapter is working because when i configure an IP address that is already on the network i get an error message. This can only happen if the adapter is able to listen on the cable.
I reset the PRAM, tried Safe boot all with the same result.
Any idea what might have happened here?
Thanks,
Ton.

Finder locking up when browsing Time capsule hard drive

Finder locking up when browsing Time capsule hard drive
I am able to browse the hard drive preview some videos or open files for around 5-10 mins then Finder locks up. Internet still works and I can relaunch Finder and then works for a while again. It sounds like the hard drive is just going to sleep. I watch some films directly off of the hard drive through VLC and these just stop wilst viewing them.
I am on 10.6.2 working on the 5GHZ channel on dual band time capsule.
It is really annoying I have tried a few things like resetting the DCHP Lease. But it seems to be specific to the hard drive as the internet still works fine. It is really annoying as it jams up the finder really awkwardly.
Ant ideas most wanted
Thanks

Are you browsing/viewing files in Time Machine backups on your Time Capsule, or files you've put there yourself?
If the files are Time Machine backups, use the Time Machine interface (the "Star Wars" display), via the Time Machine icon in your dock (or in your Applications/Utilities folder) to see what's there. Backups are not meant to be used; they're duplicates that can be restored in case of a problem with the originals on your system.
If the files are things you put there, you'll do better browsing, searching, or re-posting in the +Time Capsule+ forum, hiding in the +Digital Life+ section, at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253

How to find port number , when there will be different instance number ?

In case of portal url,
port number is 50000 for default instance number 00.
how to find port number , when there will be different instance number , instead of 00?
Thanks

Hi
You can find the port number by your instance number as follows:
There is a general format for the port number like you have mentioned.
For 00 instance the port number is 50000.
The general format for the port number goes like this:
5<instance_no>00
If your instance number is 01 then the port number would be 50100.
It depends on the installation type which you perform.
You can also change the instance number during the installation but normally you dont do this.
If you have many components or units installed on your system you may have more than one instance in that case it may go like this 00, 01, 02....accordingly port number will be 50000, 50100, 50200...resp.
Hope this solves your doubt.
If you need some more clarification please lemme know.
Regards
Sumit Jain

Finder Locks Up When Using AEBS Attached Drives & Network Backup

This might be more of a general discussion as well as specific to my situation:
I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station with two drives attached via USB powered hub. #1 is an OWC 1TB drive and #2 is a Seagate Momentus 500GB drive. Both are HFS+, and I have never had any issues when attached locally.
I am attempting to back up using CCC and/or SuperDuper to the Seagate with a sparse bundle. Both programs hang up when trying to locate the drive. I am able to Force Quit once, but if I run the programs again the Finder locks up and I can't recover it even using Terminal.
I'm not sure what the problem might be. The network mounted drives are always visible; these lock ups seem to only occur when trying to backup. I've read Finder can be tempermental with networking.
I suppose, for troubleshooting, I should attach one drive directly and go from there?

Finder locks up when attempting to access files on external drive

HI all,
I am experiencing a sinking feeling at the moment - I have been editing large amounts of video in a particular project and on recent captures I found I only had about 5gb left on my external Maxtor 300gb hard drive, which aborted the last capture, reporting "dropped frames" in final cut pro.
History has shown this happens when the hard drive gets close to running out of space.
I went to finder to delete some unneccessary files but when I try to, finder locks up and does not allow me to access any of the files. I believe this is also to do with the fact that the space is getting low, but how do I get into the files to delete them when finder won't let me do so?
At the same time I am hoping this is not a hard drive failure in the making...
Thanks
David

Ok - for a while there, the hard drive would not come up on the desktop - but now on a re-boot of the compter, or if I disconnect the hard drive and re-connect it, a message comes up with three buttons which say:
Initialize
Ignore
Eject
Sound like the hard drive has died?

WRT54G locks up when enabling wireless network

So I have the WRT54G Ver. 6 latest firmware, just installed the firmware(1.02.2) The problem is when I go to enable the wireless network the router locks up and I cant access the router again until I power cycle it. I have waited about 20 minutes to see if it was rebooting itself but still nothing came up and I still couldnt access the router, or interenet. After power cycling the wireless is still disabled.
The steps I am taking is I log into the router, go to the wireless basic settings, select enable from the drop down menu. I have tried changing the SSID and leaving the default. I have tried selecting different channels and using the default and I have tried enabling and disabling SSID Broadcast. But all end up with the same result. I thought I would try here before calling tech support to see if anyone else had this problem.
The router is only a couple months old and when I first bought it the wireless was enabled, I just disabled it because we werent using it back then.

ya the easy setup button wouldnt work either. I just reset the router via the handy reset button on the back and that did the trick. Everything is working as it should now.

Find your carrier when there is no "Carrier" option in settings

Okay, so today my friend had my iPhone and when I got it back off him, there was a "No SIM" message. Apparently, he went onto the Carrier option and switched it to O2 when I am on an unlocked Orange card. The Carrier option has now disappeared and I am stuck looking for the O2 carrier, and my Orange SIM is not picked up. Any way to fix this ?
Cheers for the help

Worked perfectly I'd tried every reset except that seeing as I just presumed it was wifi.
Thanks for the help

Is there a network traffic stoppage/downtime if I switch vlans

I have a quick question.
I have a switch that is in production that handles our ESX server environment. I need to change the Vlan the ESX servers are connected to. If I change the switch ports with the command int range Gi0/8-17, switchport mode access vlan 52. then what sort of downtime and/or loss traffic can I expect if I switch it on the fly?
thanks!

First I think you need the command "switchport acess vlan 52. But that's not the topic ;-)..
Like Guiseppe said, when the routing or L3 connection is possible. Do you have portfast enable? Or is it an trunk which is normaly user by ESX I think. When it is an access port and portfast is enable i think it would work fast. 50 sec. are only on normal stp enviroments.

Unable to find Key Events when there are multiple Commands

Hi,
I've developed a simple J2ME Appln containing 3 commands
for ex- Exit,Help and Info(all with same priority).
As there are 3 commands, Exit command is present at the left and the other two namely Help and Info have been listed under Menu and this Menu command is presented at the right.
My MIDlet class has extened MIDlet and implemented CommandListener. Using CommandAction(), I'm able to generate action for Command press and i've also created a nested class which extends Canvas so, using keyPressed and keyReleased, I'm able to find the Key Press Events.
Now, my appln needs to find just the key press events. After i press the Menu command, the two commands namely Help and Info are listed. In tht screen, I need to find out whether any other key events are being generated but my keyPressed and keyReleased are not being called.
Please provide me solution ASAP.

I'm going to make a few assumptions:
1. The menu you're describing is the automatically generated one caused by having more than two commands.
2. The subclass of Canvas is the currently active Displayable (otherwise you won't get any key events at all).
If this is the case (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), key events are being handled by the phone's subsystem to drive the menu, which means there's no way to get them. The way I've approached this kind of problem is to create my own menu painting and handling code and incorporated it into the Canvas. Then, make one Command called 'Menu' and have it invoke your custom menu code.
I realise this isn't an ideal solution, but it's something.

[Desktop][Music] Artist page needs to make it easier to find an album when there are many

If you visit an artist page with a tonne of albums like Antonín Dvořák it is difficult to find a particular album you're looking for. You have the choice between scrolling through heaps of track listings or using grid view. The former is too much to scroll through; the latter requires unnecessary cognitive effort. (I'm going to post a separate idea about that.) What I would like to see is a condensed list of rows, one album per row. Perhaps you could click on part of a row to expand it and see the tracks on it. This could be another display mode alongside the existing two modes.

Yes, you can do it using a script. This code should do the trick:
this.movePage(this.numPages-1, -1);

Server admin not showing network traffic graph

This topic was posted a while ago with no solution, and it has been [archived|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6953359]. I have just experienced the same problem with Leopard Server Admin (SA). It seems to be a problem on the server, not in the client admin, since it occurs both when I use SA on the server itself and a client, and deleting client prefs. has not helped. I'm presuming that there is a corrupted database or prefs. file for this graph.
All the other SA graphs show just fine. Fixing permissions has not helped, either.
Anyone have any idea where to look on the server? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I have since I have a few Mac Mini's on the network with their home directory residing on the server and my Windows users are sharing a few daily use files on the server including a MYOB data file, also our intranet web site is hosting on the same server, not to mention I have 3 print queues there and all the outgoing mails from both of our all-in-one scan to email machines are using the same server. All of these services and users are using their computer as if nothing is wrong, so I have to assume that there is network traffic unless server admin interprets the term "network traffic" differently.

If I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

if I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network to go on the internet when i am out if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

If I am reading your question correctly, yes if there is no wifi
you can use 3G IF you have a contract with a wireless provider
and the appropriate SIM card if required. Being unlocked does not
give you access to 3G for free; you still have to pay for it. Same
for locked iPhone. Difference is that you would have to get contract
with whatever provider the iPhone is locked to if you have locked
iPhone; if iPhone is unlocked, you will have to make a choice from
your local providers.
If this does not answer your questions, please post back with more
details and someone will answer you.

Is there any reason that my lock keeps unlocking in my network settings? Is there any way to keep it locked? It sure is inconvenient when I have to reboot to get back on the internet and re-lock that lock.

You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences
But this will affect all Preference settings.

Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
The Problem:
I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
What happened:
I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
What I’d like to do:
It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me). But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it. Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
Thanks!
