HELP I'm going MAD! - bundled NTI software is killing my internet connection.

Hello All, If someone could help me it would be hugely appreciated. I have a NMH410 which I have attached as a centre hub for 4 computers to attach to. I am using this product as an replacement update to an existing Freecom FSG3 400gb. the FSG is still on the Network. (waiting for file migration to mediahub).The Linksys Media Hub is connected directly to a BT Business router (ewire) hxxp://business.bt.com/broadband-and-internet/internet-access/broadband/more-about-routers.
The network hosts 4 Wireless laptops and 1 Wireless printer which can all see files on the media hub and connect via the BT router. The NTI software is perfect for each laptop being backed up on the hub and provides the perfect amount of resilience for the business (no need for RAID as it is simply backing up work from the individual PC's, so if Media Hub Fails the data is on the laptops and Vice Versa!) As a concept this is fantastic... However, As soon as the NTI software is turned on to backup any of the individual laptops the Internet is un-contactable. I have tried a simple ping test to google.co.uk and activated the software and get no packet or data loss and the connection remains?? Throughout the Media Hub is always available, so therefore I may be posting this on the wrong message board (perhaps a contact with NTI is next) Any help will be hugely appreciated, ThanksAndy

Thanks for your responses, I'll give it a go.
I thought network conjestion but I could understand if i was doing all laptops together but i'm doing them one at a time...
We have no backup software on the computers as this product was going to provide an automated backup solution (instead of the manual ad-hoc method as now)
I'll give this new product a whirl and come back to you.
Thanks,
Andy

When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know
You might want to see if it fixes your problem.

Please help - Urgent - fans going mad... Can it be a second hard drive...?

Hi there. I'm afraid i know very little about the workings of a mac other than swapping drives, ram etc.
I was made redundant a week ago and part of my severance was a 3.0QX tower... I have been leant an SSD drive running 10.6.8 which I know was working in the mac when I got it as I saw it running. I was also given a 1Tb drive as a work drive.
Tonight after returning from a holiday I have put the 1tb into one of the spare bays and booted the machine up, instantly the fans have come on and are blowing like a hovercraft on steroids. I took out the 1tb drive and I have noticed a small bit of black tape sat from the power and data connectors it was stuck to two pins on both sides. Now the mac won't boot at all and the fans are going mad on startup this is all before the usual mac 'boot' sound.
Please can someone advise as to whether this has shorted something or if there is a way to reboot or any advise as I have no idea and absolutely no clue and I am in mad panic mode as I am in desperate need to get this machine up and running so I can sort out my portfolio as well as website etc to get a new job ASAP.
The tape looks like it may have caught from the Bluetooth cables near to bay 2 and have been 'cut off' when when the drive was inserted. The tape looks like the cotton/material finish as oppose to a plastic insulate tape...
I appreciate any help as I can ill afford to replace or repair to be honest. So any feedback is better than non. Many thanks in advance.

The chime means the Mac has passed a Power-On-Self-Test; yours doesn't which is not good news.
I'd suggest going here and downloading the correct service manual. Based on "3.0QX tower" I think you have an early 2008 but I could be wrong; do you know which Mac Pro it is? If it is in fact the early 2008, get that manual and look at the diagnostic instructions starting on page 165.

Cannot update to latest software. error message states internet connection timed out

Does anyone have a similar problem? I cannot update to the latest software for my I Phone 4. The error message says, internet connection timed out. Which is obviously has not. It also says check your internet settings. I am not sure what that means. I have windows 7.

If the disabling the firewall doesnt help, then also try disabling your anti-virus, this was what was causing me an issue.
Although make sure you re-enable both your firewall and anti-virus after the update completes.

WRT54G software installation now prevents internet connection WITHOUT router

Since installing the software/drivers that were on the installation CD I can no longer connect to the internet when NOT using the router. i.e. if I connect my modem directly to my PC it recognises the modem is connected but then gives me a "limited or no connectivity" message and I cannot connect to the internet at all. However, if I connect my modem to the router and then connect the router to my PC I can get an internet connection just fine. Whatever software was installed has prevented all internet connectivity when not using the router. Does anyone know how I can get a direct modem-to-PC connection working again? Thanks

start ==> control panel ==> system ==>hardware ==> device manager ==> network adaptor ==>ethernet adaptor ** right click on that adaptor ==> go to properties==>go to advanced tab==> linkspeed & duplex==> changed card speed to 10 mbps half duplex

Going online with two macs kills my internet connection!

Here is my situation. I have two macs an iMac and a MacBook.
I use Earthlink, have a BritePort modem and "HAD" Linksys wireless router. Everything was fine. No problems. I was able to get online with the two computers with ease, then I had problems connecting last week. If I went directly through the modem to my MacBook I can connect, but I would lose the internet intermittently throughout the day if i didn't.
Earthlink said everything was fine as far as signal reaching my modem. So I bought an Airport Extreme thinking it was the router. Both Macs connected wirelessly on their own but then I'd lose internet whenever BOTH tried to get online at the same time.
I would be working fine on my MacBook, but once my wife tries to get online with the iMac, it kicks us both off! If she's online on the iMac and I try to get online on the MacBook it kicks us off! This is what was happening with the Linksys too! I reconnected it, and it was only when both Macs accessed the internet that we both lost (or were fighting for) connection.
What is going on?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What's the model number of your BritePort modem? When you examine the configuration of your AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, in the Internet panel, Internet Connection tab, what are the settings for "Connect Using" and "Connection Sharing"?

HELP - I am going mad

Please can somebody help before I go mental.
My iTunes has been on my PC for about 4 months now no problems. Recently, it stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and installing it again which seems to work.
When I click to start the program, I get a message saying
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I have sent error reports but never had anything back.
PLEASE HELP
I am a novice with computers so please, if you reply, speak in thicko terms.
Cheers

hi Frank!
Error Number: 0x80040707 Description: DLL function call crashed:QTInstallCode.QuickTimePostInstallProc
hmmmm. okay, the three things i check for first with one of these QT 0x80040707s are:
(1) a really badly broken QT where the breakage involves the installation registry entries.
(2) uninstalling QT from a different account from where the QT was originally installed.
(3) installing a higher version of QT in a different user account from where a lower version is installed.
... ufortunately, any of those may be in play in your case. (3 is actually a special case of 2, since the QT installer tries to remove pre-existing versions of QT as part of the installation process.) so let's try the following procedure.
steadily work through the user accounts trying to uninstall existing quicktimes from the Add/Remove.
if you can uninstall QT, then try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
b noir, "QuickTime Installation FAILED!! "Error Code: -1"" #1, 09:31am Oct 22, 2005 CDT
if QT doesn't uninstall from
b anywhere ever,
download and use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and remove QT using that. then let's try the careful standalone QT install again.
keep us posted.
love, b

WRT54G Help I'm going mad

I have 2 computers, one of which I just purchased and it has windows vista. The other is connected to a cable modem and have the WRT54G hooked up to it. I'm trying to setup my new computer for the internet and am having a lot of difficulty. OK, so computed 1 (with the cable modem and wireless router hooked up) works fine. I plugged in the wireless adapter into computer 2 (new one with vista) and followed the on screen instructions. It can not find a driver. What am I doing wrong here. I thought no updated were required and this device was compatable with vista? Please help me.

also, some cds may have problems with vista, so i suggest you put in the cd, and x out of the pop up installation. Then plug in the adapter. Your computer should ask you if u want to install the new hardware, click yes, and then vista will search the cd for what it needs and intall that. Otherwise you may get an operating system error during install and it wont install.

Help please! Going mad with CSS in JEditorPane

Hi gurus,
For more then two days now i am trying to get css working with html in my jeditorpane.
This is the stylesheet:
.toc1
font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom: 0px;
.toc2
font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
.plannerhyperlink
color:green;
text-decoration:italic;
SIMPLE isn't it?
In my JEditorPane constructor I do this
StyleSheet styleSheet = new StyleSheet();
//StyleSheet styleSheet = kit.getStyleSheet();
FileReader reader = new FileReader("/programs/eclipse/workspace/Planner/src/nl/renepetersconsultancy/planner/gui/HTMLHelp/test.css");
styleSheet.loadRules(reader, new URL("file:/programs/eclipse/workspace/Planner/src/nl/renepetersconsultancy/planner/gui/HTMLHelp/test.css"));
kit.setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
setEditorKit(kit);
setPage(url);
I know that the rules are loaded: I printed them to check that. But nothing happens!!!! Almost all layout is gone. If I use the original stylesheet and load my rules on top of them, I can see I have all of them, but everything is layout with the original default style and again my layout is ignored.
HELP Please, anyone. I am desperate (deadline + demo is tomorrow) :-(

GL is far easier to do simple CSS than DW, but once you get through the awkward DW interface, it can become clearer. I can only easily see how CSS is created in DW by exporting a GL site that has some already in it. Still not as easy as GL, but we're now stuck with it.
DW still does not handle full fledged CSS unless you have coding experience.
DW has always been more for the programmer than designer (just try asking a question on the DW forum :-)
CS4 seems to be an improvement, but not there yet.

Installed WD My Book 1TB drive software, it killed my internet access

MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GHz with Leopard 10.5.1.
I installed the "My Book RAID Manager" software included with the WD My Book Premium Edition II 1 TB dual drive system.
Upon reboot, I can connect to my wireless router, but I can access no internet sites. This worked fine before.
I can connect via afp:// to another computer on my network, though.
when i opened terminal, i was getting the message that the following file was corrupt:
/var/db/dyld/dyldshared_cacheppc
i did some research and was able to to fix that with the command updatedyld_sharedcache -force, but my internet is not working.
any ideas how to fix this?

Would you "Solve" this question please ?

Slow downloads and software updates despite fast internet connection

Hello,
I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 on a 1.25Ghz iMac G4. I have an 0x14E4, 0x4E Airport Extreme card, and can connect to Safari quite quickly.
My only trouble is with software updates and downloads - with software updates, the download speed gets ridiculously low and comes virtually to a standstill. When downloading from the internet, the download speed is slightly better but still very slow.
I have tested my connection on speedtest.net, and results say my download speed is of only 0.5 Mbps, whilst a more recent Macbook Pro connected to the same wifi network achieved 10.2 Mbps.
I had posted this in the G4 section and was told to post my issue here, another user having sugested that this might be coming from my ISP's DNS assignments.
Any idea what this might be coming from?
Thanks,
Kieran.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I upgraded Safari and my download speed has improved - Speedtest gave it 1.43Mbps - but this is still far from the 10.2Mbps other computers on the network have.
Could this have anything to do with my Airport card? Would my connection be faster if it was using an ethernet cable rather than wireless?
Thanks,
Kieran

My time capsule runs very slowly and keeps disconnecting my internet connection, can anyone help me please?

Hello all I have recently pulled out my 3TB Time capsule and attempted to use it to back up my all Mac network, starting with just my desktop. I gave up on it before and started using Time Machine with WD EHD's which work fine. The reason that I gave up was that the Time Capsule kept freezing and hanging and I couldn't rely on it for a back up. I have reset it to factory settings and reconnected it as per the instructions, using it to extend my network, the hub is a BT infinity setup. Anyway it looks like it is going to run, then keeps shutting down my internet connection and I suspect it is taking longer to run the backup than it should. Has anyone else had this problem or can help please?

What model is the 3TB TC??
If the computer is using Yosemite the setup of the TC needs to be right. It can also be hardware issue if you are talking about the previous gen4.
Here is a list of things that can help with yosemite.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

Wow. I feel like an absolute fool.
I went to System Preferencences/Network/Assist me/Assistant/ and created a new location instead of the default "automatic" and works fine.
Thanks so much and sorry for the bother.
