Has anyone ever heard anyting like this?

Hello
I was a very happy Macbook pro 5.1 user until, for some reason my laptop would start to behave very erratically and drop its wireless signal and crash, just lock up and freeze. the only thing to do then is to restart the machine.
after months of troubleshooting and trawling the forums (and before any says the usual stuff i have tried EVERYTHING POSSIBLE!!!!!) i have drawn a complete blank.
I was almost about to bite a very nasty and expensive bullet by taking it to apple with an open checkbook and i then realised, what if its not actually broken? What if its a software fault?
Sure enough, after finding a copy of another operating system, windows vista, to be exact and installing it on to a partition on my hard disk i now run this macbook pro using windows vista. and it works! it actually functions the way a laptop should!
I would have thought it to be the other way around, but no matter what version of leopard or snow leopard i have installed they just dont work.
im guessing that apple just havent got their drivers sorted with intel yet.
Very strange.

RE: also and i forgot...
this was the exact post

Re: MacBook Pro Losing Airport connectivity (A solution to try...)

SOLVED! (For me at least...)
I was having a similar problem to some of you. My 2.66Ghz Intel 15" MacBook Pro suddenly started losing connectivity and then...no connectivity at all. Nothing I tried worked. I called the tech support line for my internet service provider and there was an easy fix. Hopefully this will help some of you. Solution below...
Details
Internet: Verizon FIOS
Router: Verizon standard wireless router
Symptoms: Full "all bars" Airport signal from my wireless network but no internet connectivity
Problem: Apparently my password for the router's wi-fi network had become corrupt or something. The tech support guy had me confirm this by checking my IP settings in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP and sure enough, in the "IPv4 Address" area, there was a generic 164.xxx.x.x IP address instead of the actual IP being used by the router (should've been 192.xxx.x.x in my case). But, since the password was in my Keychain there was never a chance for me to re-enter and correct the problem.
Solution:
1) The tech support guy had me do a spotlight search (upper right hand corner of desktop) for the word "keychain".
2) Then, within those results, sort by Kind and look for an "Airport network password" with the same name as my wireless network.
3) Select the file in the list, right click, and delete the file.
4) In the Airport dropdown in the upper right of your desktop, Turn OFF your your Airport.
5) Turn ON your Airport.
6) Find your wireless network in the list and select it.
7) You should be prompted to input your wireless network password. Note: if you aren't, go back to the Keychain search results and make sure you deleted every instance of the password file for your wireless network.
8) Enter your password for your wireless network.
9) Open a browser and test.
10) You should now have internet connectivity as per usual
Hope this helps. I tried to be as detailed as possible but feel free to shoot me an email if you have a question. I'm not on these boards much so I probably won't see a question posted here. Good luck!

Insurance, Has anyone ever heard of Worth Ave. Insurance

Has anyone ever heard of Worth Ave. Insurance? http://www.worthavegroup.com/iphone-insurance
Cost is certainly reasonable, and only $50 deductible for replacement. $80.10 per year for 16GB phone.

I have heard of them, and have heard good things about them.
HOWEVER, I have also heard great thigns about SquareTrade, and they are only $99, for 2 years, not just one year. And, it is a $50 deductible with them as well.

Has anyone ever heard of hearing aids in the same bag as an ipad causing the iPad to reset?

Hi,
We have one user who's iPad keeps resetting itself and deleting all user setting and data. This has happened several times, we have even traded out the iPad for a different one, same issue. Apparently it is working when they put it into the case, but several times now when they take it out, it has been reset and is looking for the itunes connection and to be setup again. We have asked about possible outside interference, magnets, etc. The only thing that was mentioned today was that this user wears hearing aids and that they often put them in the same bag as the iPad after a meeting. I know this is grasping at straws, but has anyone heard of this casuing any problems before?
Thanks

There are a few ways to remotely wipe an iDevice. One of them is if it is connected to MS Exchange. (Administrators can wipe the device and you can do it through webmail) Maybe something bizzare is happening with that.
Just shots in the dark... I have no idea really.

Has anyone ever heard of this problem before? I challenge you!

So guys, recent macbook pro that I purchased - 15inch - intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz. It's been great. Recently, I had noticed that when the computer was running off the battery - the time indicator for the battery life kept changing drastically like 2:30 to 4:40 etc.
I went and sought the advice of a mac genius at the local apple store. They found that some kernel issue, something software related, was spiking in the activity monitor thereby causing the battery to have to re-evaluate how much time is left rapidly. they said there was nothing wrong with my battery and that I should do an archive and install and see what happens. they also told me they had NEVER heard of this before - which seems impossible - someone has to have experienced this.
anyways, did the archive and install and when that was completed and my computer was 10.4.9 the problem was fixed! time was back to normal.
then mindlessly, i went through the required software updates to get me up to speed and then tried the battery again just to make sure if was working - and suddenly it was back to old problem again. So it must be some apple software update that I downloaded? And if it is, somebody must have heard of this before.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Jack

As I understand it--and this is surely what Retired Engineer was alluding to--your Mac looks at the current battery drainage, combines that with the amount of power in the battery (x%) and computes how much battery time is left. This is why, for example, when you first unplug the computer, the display says "computing" instead of "x:xx time left". But how much power your Mac uses depends on what you are doing. For example, if you let the computer sit, it uses almost no power, and so the computer will show several hours remaining. However, if you then decide to use Disk Utility to "verify disk" or "repair permissions" or something, then suddenly the computer will start spinning and reading the disk, which is rather power intensive, and also it will have to do some computing, which is also power intensive. So display of the amount of time left will drop massively, accordingly, because your Mac battery won't last nearly as long with this amount of usage. But once Disk Utility is done, and the computer is doing nothing again, then your computer will recompute the amount of battery left back to a higher time. And so on.
As a general rule, the more apps you have running, the more disk activity your are doing, and the more services you have on (e.g. wireless) the less battery time you will have.
Rosetta translates on-the-fly programs written for PPC processors, used on older Macs, to something that can run on an Intel Mac like the Macbook Pro. This is computationally intensive and so will slow things down. If you look at Apple > About this Mac > More Details > Software you will see what of your applications are Intel or Universal, and therefore running natively (not Rosetta) or PPC (Rosetta). This information may also appear in Activity Monitor. And make sure you have set activity monitor to show all processes, not just yours.

Has anyone ever heard of this exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: Th

Hi everybody --
Isn't this usually an SQLException? This exception is freaking me out because I didn't used to get it. The part of the code that uses the type column has always executed just fine. I'm starting to wonder of I'm running out of memory or something weird like that.
I would have liked to post code, but I'm running the JSP from Sun ONE Studio 4, and when this particular exception occurs, I can't just click on it to take me to the offending code. I truly don't know where this exception is coming from.
Does anyone know the solution to the exception, or how to get Sun ONE to take me to the bad code? Thank you all so much!!

Has anyone ever heard of this happening?!

Hi Everyone,
If you set up a site definition as an FTP Server and then
delete that definition, would it delete files?
I've never heard of this...I thought site definitions were
really just a link to files...can someone please advise?
See details below:
I was working with a client today in DWMX 2004 on WinXP Home
and she had about 4 different site definitions for the same site -
each a different type of definition.
( She was trying to get her site defined on her own and
didn't know what to do so she had tried each option.)
Anyway, I had her delete one of her site definitions-which
she had defined as an FTP Server--after that, she was unable to
find the files that had been previously connected to that site
definition. (The files had previously been located on her C Drive
according to the paths in 'Open Recent'. )
She asked me ' Will this delete my files?' and I responded
'Nope, a site definition is just like a bookmark-so your files will
remain where they are on your local machine'.
Her files (even the ones showing in 'Open Recent' on the
Welcome Screen) were nowhere to be found on her machine-we looked
in her recycle bin too.
Like I said, I never heard of this happening. I was assuming
that she just had misplaced her files-but the 'Open Recent' paths
seemed to be indicating that the files had once been right where
she was expecting them to be.
Please help--Thanks so much!

Has anyone ever heard of a way to get information as to why a LV 7.0 (or earlier) application is hung?

What I would really like, is a crash dump or an error message telling me why the event structure is not responding to user events.
FYI
The application has lots of log files and error logging that shows that every thing was fine up until Saturday night at midnight. Six seconds after midnight most file activity stopped.
Although there are some back ground processes that still seem to be running (Time and date is still updating and at least one file is still being updated regularly). The application has error logging built in, but unfortunately the error log file is one of the files that stopped getting updated!
So, if you have heard of this being done, please
throw me a lead so I can run with it.
Thank you,

hi ben
i once had an app with lots of dynamic stuff. i wanted to get some information about the time some vis have been called. so i put an timestamp indicator on the fp of each vi and wrote the current time to that indicator when the vi executed. all indicators had the same label. i then ran a vi in the back, polling the value of the timestamp indicator of all vis in memory using the GetControlValue-property (can be done purely generic!). i wrote the vis name and the timestamp in a log file, so i had a log of the last time all the vis have been executed.
maybe thats an idea.

Has anyone ever heard of jail breaker?

my 15 tear old son came to me and wants to download this thing called jail breaker. I have a 3.1.3 iphone and he has an 3.1.3 itouch.

Tamara, it sounds like the OP doesn't know what jailbreak is. Your answer is a good one, but to be clear "jail breaking" a phone means installing unauthorized software on the phone so it can run software not approved by Apple and possibly be used on a network other than the approved network in your country.
As Tamara said, doing it voids the warranty on the phone, and is considered illegal by Apple. Whether a court would agree has never been tested. But it also exposes you to malware and puts you at the mercy of the software providers who supply programs to run on jailbroken phones.
I hope you make the right decision, given all the facts.

Has anyone ever heard of their iphone 5s randomly being bent

i only got my iphone 5s less than 15 days ago. and tonight i took my case off it for about 30 minutes while i was laying in bed, so i did not drop it or have water damage or anything. but when i went to put my case back on my phone, it did not fit. my phone was bent. i read online that this has happened to a couple of people. does anyone know anything about this? or what i should do?

"what i should do?"
Make an appointment to speak with an Apple Genius. I'm sure the Genius will be as amazed as I am about the spontaneous bending of your iPhone.

Has anyone else heard of this happening to your music library???

A few days ago, my itunes main music library began responding extremely slow to any commands. Only the main library... not any of my playlists and not the itunes store. When I try and type anything on my main music library page, it freezes for about 5 - 10 seconds, then finally allows me to continue. It does this on every stroke of the key!
Something else is very strange. On my main music library, a single "x" appears as a song choice. It has a little triangle next to it on the left that can point down, or to the right when clicked upon. I can't delete it, and it doesn't play anything when double-clicked upon. I can't get it to come off of the library page, no matter what I type in on the search option. I am afraid that I may have gotten some strange virus, or it may be some wierd glitch.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this, or does anyone have any ideas of what it could be, and how I can resolve this issue? It is extremely frustrating!

Anyone ever heard of the $39.99 data plan?

I gave my mom an Alltel Curve so she could try it out to see if she wanted a BlackBerry. Verizon will not let her activate it without adding on a $39.99 data plan (not $29.99). A CSR told her over the phone it's because she has an old Alltel plan ... I think she's had the plan since 2003. So then someone activated it in the store for her and said it would be $29.99. Well, of course, she got home, checked her account and $39.99 was added on. Another CSR said the system will not allow it to be activated without adding $39.99.
Has anyone ever heard of this? I have activated this phone on an Alltel plan without the extra $10, but my Alltel plan was started in 2006. Anyway, she of course deactivated the phone ... who would pay $40/month for a data plan on an old device?!

Hi,
It sounds like someone was trying to add the Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES) to her Blackberry device. She doesn't need that. She will have to get the 3G Smartphone data package, which is called the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) for $29.99. It includes unlimited data, meaning unlimited internet and instant messaging and she can add up to 10 email accounts on the device. SMS and MMS messaging is extra, so make sure she is covered in her base plan for that type of messaging. Remember, all 3G Smartphones require the data package. I hope this helps.

Has anyone ever seen this error

We just launched a vaccation tracking app with a coldfusion
front end and an access 97 backend (dont ask). The app was tested
for over a month and passed all tests. However we never tested for
volume, or amount of users hitting the app. On the backend, we have
an access table linked to a text file. Again, this tested out
perfectly over the past month. This morning after release to the
entire company of about 2,000 people, users began reporting this
error:
The text file specification 'EmployeeList Link
Specification6' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link
using the specification.
Some users logged in to the app successfully and some
recieved this error. For those that recieved the error, we had them
back out and re-login and then the app worked just fine.
Has anyone ever seen this or have a guess as to what is going
on?

Hi,
The right way would be to use a "real" database server.
But you can test if db-caching can improve the issue.
With each <cfquery> you can set a cachedwithin
parameter. Using that should allow you to query the Access db once,
and then have CF keep the query results in memory (for the DB as
well as the text-file).
You could query the complete database with no filtering this
way, and then filter the data using QueryofQuery to output only
records for specific users/groups/regions.
You also need to make sure the settings in CF admin are
configured right for this.
The more often the database content is updated, the slower
this solution will get though.
cheers,
fober
ps. for the cachedwithin parameter in the query set a
timeframe of forever, so the recordset never gets updated, and then
actually execute a new query to update the recordset at the end of
your "save a vacation" or "updated a vacation" functions. This way
the app would only read the db when a real change to the records
occurred.
But like I said with 2000 users, even that may not be enough
to get the app performing.
