Gmail fetch problem and something else

Hi,
I have set up on my iphone ver 2.2 the gmail imap acount through the iphone.
Fetch is set to 30 mins, i've disabled push bcz gmail does not support push anyway (apart from android so they say) and to reduce battery use.
Two issues I can't seem to solve:
My phone does not fetch while in sleep, if I dont touch it for more than 30 mins, I open it and it shows last updated in a time more than 30 mins. sometimes even 2 hours and no fetching.
Other thing - that may be the cause: when i wake up the phone from sleep - unlocking it, and going to the gmail and pressing update manually (due to the problem i described before) the iphone cant connect to the wifi on first time and gives me msg regarding unable to connect to 3G (I've disabled that throgh the iphone option and through my cellular company - I dont have a data plan).
After getting those cant connect to 3G msg's i press again and then it connects and download the emails - if there are new ones.
I have a wireless router that i configured with my iphone - safari doesn't seem to have problem connecting from sleep right away.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nitay

Hi,
I can already state that the problem still exits, I already got the message 'no cellular data available...' followed by 'cannot connect to smtp.gmail...
Which I think it may be the issue causing the problem of periodically fetch. (Since it can't connect to the server for some reason).
Any ideas?
Thank again

No AltGr in X and something else...

I'm using ion2 and I can't get AltGr characters in any app.
However it works in command line outside X...
My kbmap is pt-latin9.
is this a xorg or a ion problem?
Something else:

Does
setxkbmap pt
work? If yes, put it in your .xinitrc or .xsession
Alexo wrote:Something else:

Put
xterm*faceSize: 14
in ~/.Xdefaults (14 is the default size)
Run: xrdb .Xdefaults
and start xterm to check the changes. I haven't tried it, though.

Is this an iWeb problem or something else?

I normally publish a website to an ftp server using iWeb.
Its worked fine for a couple of years but recently when I try to publish it does its stuff, says its publishing in the background but then fails to upload. I've talked to the company which hosts the domain and they can log in fine, as can I using Template, but I am not techno-skilled enough to publish the site using text.
Can anyone tell me whether this is an iWeb software problem or something else, and how to sort it? Many thanks!
Nic

Log in to another user account on your Mac, copy your domail file into the other user account and see if you can launch iWeb and publish it to a folder. If you can't then the problem is system wide and an reinstall of iWeb is warranted.
To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder.
Click to view full size
Then install iWeb from the disk it came on originally and appy all needed updaters: Apple - Support - Downloads.
If you can publish successfully in the other account then that indicates there's something in your account that's the culprit. There is a test for that so let us know if you can or can't publish in the other account.
As for Flux just download and start using it. It will tell you that you have 30 days of demo mode. I suggest you watch the video tutorials at the Flux site and the few 3rd party flux videos on YouTube. I found them to be quite helpful.
Even though it can open your published iWeb site files I suggest you start a new site from scratch to get a feel of the software. iWeb sites are extermely complex and might scare you (it did me) into not going much further. You can learn more by starting a new site from scratch or one if Flux's templates.

On my list of calls made/received some of them have an icon which is a phone handset and something else. Can you tell me what this is and where to I D icons?

On my list of incoming/outgoing phone calls some of them have an icon beside the name which is a telephone handset and something else I don't recognize. Can anyone tell me what it means and where to find a list of icon explanations? Thanks.

You're probably talking about the handset with an arrow pointing up and to the right. That indicates an outgoing call.

Swapping between 801.2X and something else - vanished buttons

I use my computer at home and at uni, and must swap between two different servers and airport systems (although I'm not entirely sure of the technical stuff) and the buttons for doing this have disappeared. I took them for granted, so never really paid much attention to what they said, but I know they're gone!
I had to go into 'Internet Connect' then up the top there was a row of buttons, and I had to swap between 801.2X for uni and something else for home. These are the buttons that have disappeared.
Does anyone have any ideas where they might be? It makes it very hard to swap between the two now, and I never know if my internet will work properly.
Thanks!

If only life was that simple! I already have them set up as different locations. I was told when I first set up for the uni system that if it wasn't working, to change from VPN (home) and 802.1X (uni) in at the top of the 'Internet Connect' box. It's these buttons that have disappeared, along with 'Airport' and 'Summary', and the option for adding a new 802.1X connection is greyed out in the File menu (although the New VPN Conenction one isn't).
Thanks for trying, that would be a great idea, but it's already been done... Any more ideas?

E2000 Opening NAT, and something else

Hi all. My title is pretty self-explanatory - I'm looking to open the NAT. The network in this house was set up by someone a bit more computer savvy; unfortunately he's no longer available and I can't get his input on it.
I'm trying to just follow a guide I found elsewhere. However, giving the IP address to a browser asks for a username and a password. I do not have these, and the defaults (admin as I understand) don't work. Solutions? I suspect the person who set it up used his own password, but that doesn't help now.
My other problem is something that could be anything. I'm a gamer and this is why I want to open the NAT. That said - I've NEVER had connection problems of any sort beyond not being able to use a mic on the Xbox sometimes, even with a moderate NAT. Lately, however, I can't go five minutes without crippling lag. Any ideas on that would be appreciated.

Okay Im having some serious issues, Ive followed the guide to the last word and every day i have to reset my router at least 10 times and repeat this process over and over until the darn thing works again. I cannot connect to my friends on live my connection is terrible and im always glitching out of games I am in S.O.S mode and this ship is quickly sinking and my frustration level is about to pop. If it helps im wired into my router but can also go wireless on my xbox 360.

Flashing icon - battery problems? Something else?

Hopefully I have, at last, found the right forum...My lime clamshell iBook, running system 9.2.2, froze yesterday, and when I restarted, a flashing folder with a ?, switching with a folder with the Mac two-facing-profiles symbol, was on the screen. I have never had this symbol ever.
I found my hardware test disk and tested the system -- no probs. But the flashing folder remained whenever I restarted.
Over on the OS 9 board, there is a discussion about this flashing icon previous to my crisis today, and the group said an internal battery is the problem. I asked exactly what model I needed for my old iBook (I'm in Germany, and the Mac store here needs exact names and numbers for anything to do with my old system). I was told "Your lime iBook ca. 2000 machine has the Apple designation of iBook (Firewire). That model, like all iBook models, does not have a separate backup (internal) battery such as some PowerBook models and all desktop models have. The only battery the iBook models have is the main battery." A poster suggested I head over here on this branch of the forum and seek advice. But I posted to the wrong portion of this branch so, hopefully, this is the right one.
Someone on the other branch said something about resetting something... but if I can't turn the computer on (past the flashing icon), then how can I reset anything?
I JUST replaced this battery, not a year ago. But about six months ago, it started losing all power after just an hour or so, and I would have to reset the clock, etc. when the power just suddenly ended when my computer was unplugged. Now, I can't unplug my computer at all except for a few minutes, otherwise, the batter just quits suddenly, poof. I put the old battery back in today, but it didn't help.

I'm not sure what you are reading but it doesn't sound like a battery problem. It sounds like the iBook can't find a valid system folder to start from.
In KB 58042, A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac under "Steps for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9" you will find the following:
The possible causes and solutions for this symptom appear in the order that you should try them. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one. If at any time in this process you determine that your System Folder or its contents are missing or were intentionally deleted, reinstall Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9.
If you normally start up from Mac OS 9 but don't have a Mac OS 9 CD that can be used as a startup disk, follow the steps for Mac OS X above. Some computers include Mac OS X Installation CDs and a Mac OS 9 Restore CD that can't be used as a startup disk. Once you've started up from Mac OS X, make sure a copy of Mac OS 9 is installed. If you erased your disk since the last time you started up in Mac OS 9, you may need to need to install Mac OS 9 drivers.
Start the computer from the Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 Installation or Restore CD that came with the computer.
Open the Utilities folder and locate Disk First Aid.
Open Disk First Aid and repair the disk.
Open the Startup Disk control panel.
Choose your hard disk as the startup disk.
Restart the computer.
Note: If your hard disk is not available (mounted) when started up from CD, reset the PRAM as described below, then repeat these steps. If your hard disk is still not available after resetting PRAM, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Technical Support.
If you can't choose your hard disk in the Startup Disk control panel, your System Folder may have been altered or removed. In some cases, you may solve the issue by moving files back into the correct location in a process known as "reblessing" the System Folder. A "blessed" System Folder is one that is recognized as a valid startup System Folder, as indicated by the appearance of the Mac OS logo badge on the System Folder.
Reblessing the System Folder only works when all the original files are still installed and in the correct location (or you can put them back in the correct location). If any files have been deleted, you may need to reinstall system software. If you have deliberately removed System Folder files, this includes putting them back where you found them.
Additionally, you should only have one folder named "System Folder" on your disk (not to be confused with the folder named simply "System" that is installed by Mac OS X, if both systems are installed on the same disk).
To rebless your System Folder:
Start up from CD.
Close any open windows.
Open the hard disk.
Choose By Name from the View menu.
Locate the System Folder. Tip: You should only have one System Folder. If necessary, rename any other "System Folder" you're not using. Don't rename "System" if Mac OS X is also installed.
Open the System Folder. At this time, you should replace any items that you have previously removed from the System Folder, if applicable.
Do one of the following:
->If Mac OS X is not installed or is installed on a different volume than Mac OS 9, drag the System suitcase and the Finder to your hard disk icon. If you have more than one hard disk, drag the files to the hard disk where the System Folder is.
->If Mac OS X is installed on the same volume or partition as Mac OS 9, create a new folder outside of the System Folder but on the same disk, then drag the System suitcase and the Finder to the new folder.
Close the System Folder.
Drag the System suitcase and Finder back onto the System Folder icon.
When the Mac OS logo reappears over the System Folder, it has been reblessed. Select the folder in the Startup Disk control panel, then restart the computer.

My iPad won't open itunes. I have software update iOS 7.1.1 trying to download for days. Is this the problem or something else?

My iPad won't open itunes. Wifi ok safari working. Software update trying to download for days 7.1.1. Is this the problem? How to fix?

If Safari is working otherwise and you can log onto other websites, try clearing Safari and reset your iPad. That might help with the Twitter app as well.
Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Ridiculous amount of problems, and something I've never seen before.

I had gotten a 4th gen 20gb iPod for a Christmas gift in 2004. It had a few problems here and there, but worked well for the most part for the better part of a year.
Right around the time the one-year warranty was going to expire, it started really acting up. I sent it in, and got a replacement. Well, its been right around four months since I got the 'new' one, and I've had so much trouble with it, I've nearly thrown it out.
I've been reading up on these forums for a couple days, and trying everything I could with no success.
The main reason I'm starting this topic is in hopes for an answer on my iPod's capacity.
So we're all aware that the 20gb's are really only 18.5 gb's. That's no secret. What really blew my mind was, just a week or so ago, I was having a ton of trouble with my iPod, and when I finally got it to respond, and it connected with iTunes, the maximum capacity was showing 16.4 gb. It was completely empty of anything I would have put on it, so I was extremely confused, and fairly upset.
Well, not even ten minutes ago I went through the same sanity-reducing behavior, and when things finally connected, iTunes was showing that the iPod's maximum capacity is now at 15.98 gb!!!
I don't know what to do, I've tried literally everything I've seen suggested in these forums that I can do aside from sending it in for repair.
If the "true video" iPod doesn't come out in the next couple months I think I might switch to an iRiver. I don't really want to do that, because I have faith in Apple, but the problems I've had are ridiculous.
Sorry for ranting, and thanks for reading.

Sorry to butt in... Two thoughts for you.
1) Are you resetting the iPod while it is still attached to the comp? If so try resetting it when it is not attached and leave it to "settle" for a minute (or so) before you attempt to reconnect. Make sure that the iPod is fully charged (or very nearly fully charged) before connecting since sometimes the current drain to start the iPod's internal HDD and keep it spinning to synch with iTunes is more than the USB port can support.
2) I've seen the iPod "lie" about how much space is available - it's happened to me! It's not ideal, but my advice is to accept the iPod lies about how much space is available and ignore it unless you experience other symptoms which suggest that it really is inexplicably short of space (e.g. iTunes indicates that it is full, Windows thinks that it is full and you know that it should not be). You can also try running chkdsk on the drive letter windows has allocated to the iPod - it should detect any problems in the filesystem on the iPod which could lead to it getting confused about how much space is available. These "lies" about availble space can come and go (in my experience) - with no apparent reason or at least any that I've so far identified.
Hope that helps.

Lost my playlists and something else :o(

I have a MacBook Pro, with the HD partitioned into "Mac HD" and "Audio". I have a rather large music library on "Audio" that is linked to my Serato library.
Today, I noticed that some of my playlists were missing.
I found this online: iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support and followed the instructions. I have now gone from well over 22000 songs, to just over 5000 tracks.
I noticed there are 2 iTunes libraries on my mac. One on "Mac HD" drive which appears to be about 30 gb, and another on the "Audio" drive (where I have set iTunes as the default drive and folder for my music).
The playlists I was looking for were not restored with the above process. However.... When I do a Spotlight search, I can find the name of the playlist I'm missing on a file called music.txt. How do I get all this back to normal?

I should add, when I started the process from the link above, iTunes started dumping audio onto my "Mac HD" drive... something I didn't want to do. I only have about 20gb free space there now

My macbook boots up get a screen picture then screen goes blank, when boots up I get the sound then a screen then screen goes black is this a battery problem or something else?

my macbook boots up, I get a screen picture then screen goes blank...I get the start up sound, then a picture, then the screen goes blank but computer is still on..does anyone know what the problem is...do I need a new battery or am i just screwed.

Hello nosaint1961,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your computer to your desktop. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening named:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

Two possibly unrelated questions - Hard Drive and something else.

Sorry I only have symptoms not specifics at this point. I have an intel core duo mac mini, running 10.5.6, with 4 gigs of ram. I have a couple of issues that may be unrelated: A possible Hard drive issue and another strange issue. I don't know if there are related but since I may have to go through the hassle of cracking open my mini I thought I would ask.
First issue when I stream video over the internet sometimes and only sometimes my machine will suddenly restart, no shutdown, no prompts, just instantaneously restart, other times it will stream hours of video without issue. This issue has plagued me since 10.4 and all subsequent upgrades.
Second issue is what I believe is a hard drive failure, but I'm not sure and I don't want to buy/replace it if that's not the issue. I updated to 10.5.6 a few months ago and was running with no issues although lately it has been getting slower. Last week my parents came over to watch "24" online so after working on my computer all morning I restarted my machine thinking it would stream better, upon restart it would get to the large apple with the spinning graphic and hang up, then about after a minute in it would simply power off. Confused I restarted with the same results. I tried this probably 10 times with the same result. Checked all the cables, etc. nothing. so next I booted into the Leopard Installer and ran disk utility. At first the hard drive didn't show up in the left column so I quit disk utility and launched startup disk, again no hard drive, then I re-launched disk utility - now it showed up. I ran repair disk since repair permissions was greyyed out. It came back with errors saying disk couldn't be repaired. Sorry the only error message I recall is a damaged catalog B-tree. So I restarted and for the first time in 10 hours my machine actually restarted and everything came back. From here I backed up everything important. Since then it has restarted 3 times will no issues, other than running a little slower than usual. So last night I ran Disk Warrior and receive the error message. " Could not rebuild due to a disk malfunction. A disk malfunction is a failure of or damage to any mechanical component of the disk device or any component connected to it. Since I had disk warrior in there I checked the hardware test option where it checks the S.M.A.R.T. something or another, sorry for the choice of words I've never done that, and it returned saying the drive was fine. So here I am a bit confused if it's the hard drive or another issue any ideas.

Hi daredman01-
Could the unit simply be overheating? Have you vacuumed out the air vent that rns along the bottom edge of the mini?
Good job getting things backed up. How full is the hard drive?

DVDs not playing: disc drive problem or something else?

I see that many problems occurr in regards to HP laptops and playing discs. I have recently encountered this problem myself.
My discs will appear when I put them in the drive and ask to be played;
I open it with Windows Media Player
It glitches for a little while, usually shows a picture or two from the movie I'm trying to play
Sometimes brings me to the menu of the disc....
But continues to glitch and refuses to play the way it usually used to.
(I've also tried to play them in HP Medias\Smart, etc. but still no go)
In terms of CDs.. I used the disc drive to put music from CDs onto my itunes. The computer wouldn't actually play the music but the music did transfer successfully onto my ipod...
What I'm getting from this is that the drive is still reading the discs, in some small way, but it can't register them enough to play them properly on the computer.
I've tried many suggestions I've found through other forums of people with similar problems but nothing has worked so far. It's been a few monhts now and I'm pretty bummed that I still can't watch my DVDs when I'm laying in bed.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I do not see a mention of the model of computer or the version of Windows, so a general response would be to download VLC player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
If that will not play it (either music or video), then there is probably a hardware failure.
Return with model of computer and Windows OS version.
