Hangs at "verifying identity" or "waiting for network to be ready"

We have an older computer that we would like to use and connect to the internet, but it won't connect through the Jetpack 890L. We have Windows XP Home version 2002, svc pk 2. It will just hang and show the messages above. I have researched and tried several different settings in advanced settings, and received a few different messages. I am afraid our computer may just be too old. At one point I tried "repairing the connection" button and received messages something like "be sure your network adapter is properly connected" -- Atheros 5005g, 2005 version 4.1.2.56-- old! Any suggestions? We are not tech savvy, but thought someone may be able to help us stumble through. Thanks for any help!

WinXP displays the verifying identity message when it cannot fully authenticate to the network. Most of the time this is because you are connecting over a WiFi security protocol that is not supported by your computers wireless card. To resolve the problem you need to select a different security mode or update your wireless card to one that supports the features of your jetpack.
If you try all of the available security modes (open/WEP/WPA/WPA2) and the problem is not resolved then it is most likely a password conflict. Wipe out your saved passwords/wireless profiles on XP and start over.
This same logic applies to the waiting for network to be ready message.

Cloned volume gets stuck at boot "Waiting for Network File System"

I've used "Carbon Copy Cloner" many times with success and no problems (v 2.3 , default settings, make destination bootable) as I migrated to larger drives or make backups in advance of a major OS upgrade.
Last time I was successful, I was at OS 10.3.5. I use 3rd drive to boot my Mac, then clone the one non-boot drive to the other. I do the disk repairs & permission repairs as the normal course of this process, before & after. I am now at 10.3.9. I am do this clone in prep to go to 10.4 so I have a good back in the event of later problems.
When I attempt to boot from the newly cloned partition, it goes fine on the boot process until it hangs at the "Waiting for Network File System" step and never gets past there. I've never had this happen before. I retired all the steps, even ran "Diskwarrier", but no change.
I am not trying to run from a remote or network drive, just a 2nd drive in my
G4 from which I have previously been able to boot (until this last clone attempt that is).
I googled the symptoms ""Waiting for Network File System"", found it to be common, but no real answers. Is this one of those annoying UNIX things? Any ideas how to fix / turn-off whatever is hanging the boot up? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kool,
So there seems to be a "speed-bump" around 10.3.9. No wonder I have had the same results with a different tint. I went to Drive Genius to clone this one. Results with that were interesting.
If I did a [Device] clone, it would take and show at start with 'option' key... and work just like my internal with 3 accounts on it... login and proceed like it was internal. If I did a [Volume] clone, it would not show up at start with the 'option' key... I'd have to boot it from System Preferences > Start-up Drive. Once booted, it had no login screen so all the files were accessible. I took the clone of this 3 account PB and tried it on an iBook. Had to boot from System Preferences too, also, all the account were accessible from that machine... implying that anyone who had that drive could get past/into my files that would be secure on my computer, but not on the clone. If I took the [Device] clone and booted from the ibook at start with the option key, it would not get past the login screen... altho the mouse worked and I could click on the name, that was as far as it got, Froze.
So, I have figured, for safety, a [Device] clone is it, as long as the original computer lives. The safety features for login seem to be hardwired in the chip that the clone was made from (The iBook had 2 accounts but not my 3). If safety is not an issue, the [Volume] clone is fine... like moving to a newer OS on the same computer. It would seem from your experimentations that the situations with this 10.3.9 is just a hick-up and is solved in 10.4.3 with CCC v3...
Thanks for your info... I am thinking of going to Tiger, but I am so fond of this Panther...

Apple TV 2 Waiting for network services, unable to sign in to iTunes store

Received my Apple TV yesterday.
It is connected to my network (I have tried wired and wireless).
I can view movie previews and Podcasts.
I cannot sign in to the iTunes Store (therefore cant rent movies), cannot view Youtube videos (No content available), cannot use Netflix (Waiting for network services when I try).
I spoke to Apple support, they couldn't help. They say the problem is with my network or my ISP.
I have a Linksys WRT160N router, on which I have tried disabling the firewall.
My ISP is Telus, I am on their Fibre Optic network in BC. I wonder if Telus are blocking Apple TV?
Anyone else experiencing this?

I received my Apple TV yesterday.
I am running cable internet with 10Mbps constant.
So I connected it up and proceeded to issue after issue. I could not log into my Apple account. It was stating that my name or password was incorrect.
When I would start the unit it would stay at the waiting for network connections screen for several minutes!
I did all the tricks of turning the apple of and back on, NO FIX.
I tried to update the software, and I recieved a message that stated I have the most updated software, so....NO FIX
I did a full restore. The Apple TV downloaded the newest software and rebooted after about 7 minutes, NO FIX
I logged into my router and opened all ports, added ports 80 and 123, NO FIX
I also disabled my entire firewall on my router and turned off the WEP security feature...and what would you guess.....NO F I X!!
So I logged back into my router and reset all my original settings...still NO FIX.
SO here is the good part...Apparently the system has to connect to time.apple.com and get updated...it's sort of like a verification of the system.
So after it updated everything worked great! No unable to sign into my account. NO waiting on network connections anymore.
So the biggest advice I can give, especially after my 3 hours of gradually wasting my time until I almost threw the unit out my bedroom window, is connect it to your WIFI system and let it sit by itself for a few hours and let it connect to the Apple server.
Hope this helps everyone that, at some point, has shared my pain and frustration.

Process Chains Always Hangs at the second step waiting for an event

Gents;
all BI process chains created in Production system are always hanging in the second step waiting for an event RSPROCESS with a certain parameter. This issue is happening for all process chains in Production system and it is not happening for the same in other systems in the landscape (development, Copy of porudction, quality and so on). I tried to trigger the event manually using SM62 but the job is always stick to status " released". the same thing was replicated in other systems and the job status has changed and the process was completed.
Any idea what might cause this issue??
Thanks.

Hi,
You said that this thing is happening only in production system.Try doing the following checks :
1.Check SM21to see if there are any red entries.It can be possible that there is some data base RFC connection failure.While checking SM21, make sure you give proper selection condition.If there are any red entries, you may take the help of basis guys to understand the type of failure.May be file system has got some problems.
2.Check St22 and try to analyse if any short dumps.
3.Try to check Connection with the source system ( Goto RSA1->source system tab->right click on the source system and select check option to find if any errors in the connection.
4.If possible, try to load manually in some other info provider.
Thanks,
Tarun Brijwani.

Waiting for network time"?

I thought I had set up Apple TV correctly, and paired it with my silver remote it came with, but whenever I turn it on now, the screen says "Waiting for network time". Has anyone else had this issue? I can't seem to find the answer online or in the manual of how to correct this.

The "menu+down" reset did not help. It rebooted the Apple TV, but upon reboot it displayed the same message.
Taking the device away from the hotel and to my in-laws house let me use it just fine while there. It recognized that it didn't have a network connection and I was able to tell it to join the WiFI and give it a password. I hoped at that point that when I took it back to the hotel that night it would have forgotten all about the hotel WiFi and let me configure it to join the ad-hoc network from the laptop. But no luck. The Apple TV still remembered the hotel WiFi and got stuck again.
I guess the only way to make it forget a network once it's joined is the "restore" option, which reverts it to factory settings (meaning you'd have to re-apply the firmware update). I haven't done that yet, though I ought to while I'm at home and the thing is working, so I don't forget next time we take a trip to a Hampton inn and have it mess up again.
It seems there ought to be a way to make it "forget" WiFi networks, like the iPad and Macs can. Of course it shouldn't get itself into a state where the remote doesn't function and the settings menu produces errors either.

Waiting for network services...

My ATV2 is online, it connected to my network, and all the movie thumbnails and such are displayed. It won't connect to the iTunes store, says that the Apple ID or password aren't recognized. Gets stuck on "Waiting for network services..." on Netflix. When attempting a restore downloads "the latest update" and looks like it's doing what it should but then displays "The update was not successful." Resets don't help, as it gets stuck on the "Waiting for network services..." Anyone having similar problems?

I had the same problem. I just wanted to stream content from Netflix for starters, no bothering with iTunes on a PC, but the aTV2 would be stuck "Waiting for network services". Checking my settings and my router reflected a good WiFi connection, DHCP address assigned, etc. Internet radio worked fine, as did photo screen saver from FlickR.
Attempting to log in to iTunes gave an incorrect password error -- a lamentably bad error since the password was correct.
No joy on Netflix login.
No joy on YouTube. Which is puzzling since port 80 is open. (I wonder if the aTV2 is calling home to Apple even if you are just using Netflix or YouTube.)
All of this is a major annoyance as you have to keep entering your accounts and passwords from scratch over and over with the silly remote control and alphanumeric entry control.
I suspected AppleTV was trying to connect to its services on the internet on some ports my router firewall was blocking, but there is no discoverable, comprehensive, or accurate Apple documentation to indicate what ports those are. I tried opening TCP:3689 with no improvement.
As a last try, I opened every outbound port for the aTV2. (That is not going to be acceptable in the long term. We run a tight network security ship here.) It still didn't work. "Waiting for network services...". Hmph! I powered cycled the aTV2. After it rebooted, it works fine with Netflix and Youtube. No "Waiting..."
It is lamentable that aTV2 setup and/or network test doesn't report what ports it is failing to connect on. Bad bad OOBE Apple! XBOX 360 for example gives much more useful network config assistance.

"Waiting for network services..." forever! Then, wont' accept WEP password!

Anyone having this issue. One of my two new Apple TV 2s is doing this...was working fine for weeks and then bang!

Satellite L300-29U hangs at waiting for ODD to become ready

I sell Toshiba's.
I always make recovery dics for my customers. I do it on Philips DVD's.
Now I have tried Windows 7 on one positively and tried to recover to vista again before selling the laptop.
The problem is that when I try to recover, the system hangs at "waiting for ODD to become ready "
I tried several things,
-formatting the harddisk
-removing the partition
-windows vista oem CD (installs fine, so does 7) etc etc.
I have another laptop in stock so I used the recovery discs of that one, result is that it hangs at the same point.
Now I tried to restore the other laptop (same model) and there the recovery dvd hangs at the same point.
I think there is an programming error in the recovery dvd program.
Greets,
Vincent
Holland

Not a chance.
Toshiba is sending out an update for the imaging program because they found out it did not work themselves.
Now just wait for the helpdesk to send out free copies for the people who burnt themselves faulty rescue dvd's?

"Waiting for index to be ready (905 0)"

The behavior of TM (and also Time Capsule) seems to have deteriorated significantly since I did the latest TC firmware upgrade. I realize this is the TM forum and that is the basis of this question, but the revised TC is much more difficult to be seen by the TM process since the upgrade and thus results in many failed or unfinished TM backups.
TM has failed in the last three attempts and seems to have fallen into a loop. The log of the atempt before the current one shows the following:

When you say "disk problems", do you mean hardware problems, firmware problems or software problems?
On directly-attached disks, we see this when the disk spins down, but won't spin back up fast enough or properly; or with a USB disk that gets its power from the Mac, but not quite enough sometimes; or port or cable problems; or one that's beginning to fail. It's very hard to tell, of course, which.
I'm not very familiar with TCs, but a disk is a disk!

"Waiting for device to become ready" can't burn additional copies

I created an iMovie and burned about six copies on iDVD. When i went to put in the seventh disk it sort of froze up with the "Waiting for device to become ready" message never going away. I attempted to shut everything down, even turned the computer off for awhile thinking maybe it was overheated but several hours later its doing the same thing. It will burn the first copy but get hung up when attempting to burn additional ones. Any suggestions???

It's often recommended areound here to let the optical drive cool down after burning 3-4 disks in a row.
See if you can burn any kind of disk via the Finder to make sure the drive is OK. Also I suggest you follow this workflow for future projects:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The save as disk image as mishmumken recommended will save you from having to reencode the project if you want to burn another copy at a later date. It also lets you verify the encoding process before committing the project to disk.

Time Machine error : Waiting for index to be ready (100)

Hello,
I'm having issues with Time Machine, the backup starts, an amount of data is backup and complete (ex 80Mb of 80Mb backuped up), then Time Machine goes back in indexing and get stuck in "Waiting for index to be ready (100)".

What are you backing-up to? That message indicates it may not be fully compatible with Time Machine.
If you've done everything in #D2, and it's a NAS, check with the maker. They may have updates or other troubleshooting info. Or it may be a hardware problem.

Stuck on calculating changes - Waiting for index to be ready

I've got a Time Machine which had my disk properly backed up (~500 Gigs). Then, I used Entourage Time Machine to save my email database to a set of local XML files (tens of thousands of new files). Since then, it's stuck on Calculating Changes; I tried stopping it, removing the .plist file, stopping/restarting the service, etc. I restarted it again and now it's once again on Calculating Changes for 12 hours now. Time Machine Buddy says "Waiting for index to be ready". Could it possibly really be doing what it needs to do or is it stuck somehow and is there anything else I can do??
thanks in advance,
Mike

did that - repaired the disk, no problems found.
Uh, you need to check your internal, too, if you didn't. It's probably ok, but it's best to be sure. Then Restart your Mac.

A few of those may not be a problem, especially after a failed backup. The backups have to be indexed for TM to work right.
why isn't the index ready - could it have anything to do with Spotlight (which is also going like mad, but at least now gives a time estimate) - is that the index it's talking about??
Perhaps. Both Spotlight and Time Machine use the mds process to index.

Ok, so I disabled Spotlight, deleted all the .Spotlight files on all volumes, and restarted Time Machine having excluded the Entourage database and 56 Gigs worth of .xml files of individual messages.

The deep traversal completed. It found about 20 GB to back up (plus 20% for workspace -- the "padding" in the message).
Error: Flushing index to disk returned an error: 0
That's another problem writing the index to the TM drive.
Try a +*Repair Disk+* on it again, and make sure all connections are snug and secure, and try the backup again.
If this continues, it's beginning to look like a problem with the disk or connections. Try different ports, cables, and combinations of the two -- cables do deteriorate, and a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another one.

Stuck on waiting for device to become ready...

I did a slide show on iDVD now I'm trying to burn it on a Phillips dvd but it reads waiting for device to become ready. this continues & it does not burn the dvd. I tried the save as disk image but the same thing happens. the utility was no help on getting it started

[Restore] "Waiting for iPod to become Ready"? [ver 1.2 iTunes 7.0]

Now when I attmept to connect it to any Mac it freezes up and fails to mount. Come on apple. Also, why the is there no longer an iPod preference section in the new iTunes. I keep trying to Restore the firmware, but I keep getting the "Waiting for iPod to become ready" message.
Attempted solutions:
• Re-installing iTunes 7.0 (no luck)
• Resetting the iPod (no luck)
• Forcing the iPod into disk mode (no luck)
• Re-installing iPod software (iPod won't mount...so that didn't work)
HELP!!!

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by following the directions on resetting the iPod, renaming the iPod and also ensuring that I removed any files that might not be understood by the iPod from the 'notes' folder on the iPod (if you have enabled disk access):

PS: If you need to get out of the 'Do not disconnect' screen so that you can apply these changes you need to hold down the 'menu' and 'select' or center button until you see the Apple logo. When the iPod mount you can proceed to reset the iPod to original settings which will erase everything from the iPod but not your iTunes library on your computer

Hangs at "verifying identity" or "waiting for network to be ready"
