  • Need help with changing the Firmware of Linksys BEFSR41

    well I just got an xbox 360 and Halo 3 and im trying to connect to xbox live in my dorm room. I got the Linksys BEFSR41 which is compatible with xbox live but it turns out its version 4.2 and for some reason the older version 3 is only compatible according to xbox's site.

  • Help with flash video buffering

    I need help with flash video buffering. I've created a
    buffering graphic to show up when the clip is loading. The problem
    that I'm having is that when the video finishs playing, the buffer
    is empty and the graphic pops back on. The following is the code
    that I'm using to call and buffer the video. Any help would be
    great!
    stop();
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    ns.setBufferTime(10);

    just shows that there should be a flash video there but it does not

  • Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).

    I have rolled out bunch of updates across few hundred workstation systems.
    Few of the desktops have failed to install SOME of the updates and just can't get my head around as to why?
    Looking at one of the workstations, I can see 5 updates are pending download at 0%.
    Some of these fail after a while and with in Software Centre, I can see 'Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).'. Not exactly sure what this means, but I have tried clearing the cache and
    rebooting the workstations few times.
    (I have also tried to use Windows Update and install one of these manually, which worked.)

    Investigating this further, I have found the following in CAS.log:

  • Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Prolonging the life of your optical drive?

    I recently had to have the Superdrive on my MacBook replaced, as it had only lasted a rather woeful 7 months since I bought the computer new.
    The guy at the authorised service centre gave me a tip: he said that to prolong the life of any optical drive (PC / Mac / laptop / desktop), you should leave a CD in it at all times. He seemed to think that this would protect the laser.
    Is this just an old wives' tale, or does anyone here think that it could be a good idea?
    I went through two optical drives on my previous Mac (a G3 Powerbook), so as I'm sure you can understand, I'm getting kind of paranoid that my new Superdrive will go wrong again, so any other tips would be most welcome!

    About the only benefit I could see in doing this is that you would keep the laser covered and perhaps prevent dust build up. Most notebooks don't have slot-loading drives so a Q-tip can easily clean them... and as the MacBook does have a slot-loading drive, I can't imagine any dusty getting in there. I've lost count of how many desktop/notebook optical drives I've had over the years. I don't recall ever having one fail and I've never kept them loaded with a disk. As mentioned, I would imagine the extra wear of the drive spinning up all the time would be more likely to cause a shorter life (plus the annoying delays associated with optical disks mounting, etc).

  • Help with FLASHING QUESTION mark when starting the mac

    Hi All,
    My mac just froze,i had to do force shut down,when i restarted it i had the flashing question mark.Did all the instruction that are given in the site:restarting with the installation CD and then using the *disc utility*-BUT i could not find the hard drive that i need to do the "repair disc " on.So i did what the document said and i reset the PRAM-still my hard drive does not show up in the disc utility.I also tried to reset the SMC but again -same result.
    please please try and help me,is my HD doomed? is there anything else i should try?

    I have the exact same problem.
    Today, when I turned my macbook on, it was so slow, that I decided to restart it. When I turned it on again, I got the folder with a questionmark in it on the display. Tried to put the installer CD in, but it couldn't find the HDD. Ran the Disk Utility, which said: "Invalid node structure" and "Invalid record count".
    I think the HDD is "destroyed", because it makes strange sounds. But how? And why?
    The Macbook isn't even a year old.
    Any help?

  • Help with flashing message envelope in the home sc...

    Hi all
    I was hoping if someone could help with the flashing message envelope in the home screen (next the the key lock, blue tooth, car kit symbols., which will no go away...Just keeps flashing
    I have checked that I have no message in any of my inboxes, out boxes..ect
    I have set-up email, sms etc. and cleares all boxes
    I have tried a reinstall to factory original setup
    Any ideas
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What do you mean by "repeats every few hours"? Does the flashing message icon pop up all of a sudden, without receiving any messages? Sometimes it happens that messages that are received as many parts will be read by you before all of them have been correctly received. So, as and when a new chunk arrives, you will see this icon even though you had 'read' the message.
    If you try the method described in the above post, you will not have any messages in your SIM, and I assume you have no unread messages in your phone either.
    I would suggest you to change the Memory in use to Memory card (Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use) temporarily, see if you have any unread messages there, clear everything, and then revert it back to Phone Memory.
    If it doesn't work, try a factory reset (*#7780#). This will reset your messaging settings also.

  • How do I install OSX onto a new SSD (in the place of my optical drive) without transferring all data across.  However, with the applications, system and library on the SSD to improve the speed, but keep non essential items (the home folder) on the HDD

    I have a mid 2009 13 inch unibody 2.53GHz MacBook Pro.  I'm finding that it doesn't run as quickly as it used to. 
    A genius in the Apple store suggested that I replace my optical drive with an SSD, however only use the SSD for OSX, applications, system and library.  Keep all documents, pictures, music etc on the current hard drive. 
    I would be grateful if someone could help me with:
    1) installing OSX on the SSD without copying across data from the current hard drive
    2) transferring applications, system and library folders across to the SSD so that they still function
    3) changing my settings so that OSX reads the home folder from the current hard drive, as well as all the applications' data (documents, music etc...)
    However, I would like to run iMovie, with all events etc solely from the SSD to speed up the process of editing movies.
    If anyone could help with this, it would be much appreciated.

    If you got the data transfer cable with your SSD, the procedure should be pretty simple - and there should be step-by-step instructions in the box. You're simply going to remove the bottom case of your computer (using a Phillips #00 screwdriver), take out the two screws in the bracket holding the hard drive into place (using same screwdriver), remove the drive and (use a Torx 6 screwdriver) remove the four screws that hold the hard drive in place. Then put in the SSD and reassemble the machine.
    Then you'll plug up the old hard drive by using the SATA to USB cable and use the option key to boot from the old drive. I don't know what data transfer software Crucial provides, but I would recommend formatting the SSD  using Disk Utility from your old drive ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to your new SSD (see this user tip for cloning - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122). You needn't worry about getting an enclosure since you have the data transfer cable and you don't want to use your old hard drive.
    There are a number of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through this procedure - many specific to Crucial SSDs and their data transfer kit - do a little searching there if you're unsure of how to procede.

  • WRT310N: Help with DMZ/settings (firmware 1.0.09) for wired connection

    Hello. I have a WRT310N and have been having a somewhat difficult time with my xbox 360's connection. I have forwarded all the necessary ports (53, 80, 88, 3074) for it to run, and tried changing MTU and what-not.
    I don't know if I have DMZ setup incorrectly, or if it's my settings.
    Setup as follows:
    PCX2200 modem connected via ethernet to WRT310N. 
    The WRT310N has into ethernet port 1 a WAP54G, and then upstairs (so that my Mother's computer can get a strong signal) I have another WAP54G that I believe receives its signal from the downstairs 54G. 
    In the back of the WRT310N, I have my computer connected via ethernet port 3, and my Xbox 360 connected via ethernet port 4.
    Now, I first figured I just have so many connections tied to the router and that is the reason for being so slow. However, when I unplug all the other ethernet cords and nothing is connected wirelessly, except for my Xbox connected to ethernet port 4, it is still poor. Also, with everything connected (WAP54G and other devices wirelessly) I get on my PC and run a speedtest.  For the sake of advice, my speedtests I am running on my PC are (after 5 tests) averagely 8.5 Mbps download, and 1.00 Mbps upload, with a ping of  82ms.
    Here is an image of the results:
    http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/721106714.png
    Let me add a little more detail of my (192.168.1.1) settings for WRT310N.
    For starters, my Father's IT guy at his workplace set up this WRT310N and WAP54G's. So some of these settings may be his doing. I just don't know which.
    "Setup" as Auto-configurations DHCP. I've added my Xbox's IP address to the DHCP reservation the IP of 192.168.1.104. This has (from what I've noticed) stayed the same for days.
    MTU: Auto, which stays at 1500 when I check under status.
    Advanced Routing: NAT routing enabled, Dynamic Routing disabled. 
    Security: Disabled SPI firewall, UNchecked these: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Multicast, and Internet NAT redirection.
    VPN passthrough: All 3 options are enabled (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP)
    Access Restrictions: None.
    Applications and Gaming: Single port forwarding has no entries. Port Range Forwarding I have the ports 53 UDP/TCP, 88 UDP, 3074 UDP/TCP, and 80 TCP forwarded to IP 192.168.1.104 enabled. (192.168.1.104 is the IP for my xbox connected via ethernet wired that is in DHCP reserved list)
    Port Range Triggering: It does not allow me to change anything in this page.
    DMZ: I have it Enabled. This is where I am a bit confused. It says "Source IP Address" and it has me select either "Any IP address" or to put entries to the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to XXX fields. I have selected use any IP address. Then the source IP area, it says "Destination:"  I can do either "IP address: 192.168.1.XXX" or "MAC address:" Also, under MAC Address, it says DHCP Client Table and I went there and saw my Xbox under the DHCP client list (It shows up only when the Xbox is on) and selected it.  
    Under QoS: WMM Enabled, No acknowledgement disabled.
    Internet Access Priority: Enabled. Upstream Bandwith I set it to Manual and put 6000 Kbps. I had it set on Auto before, but I changed it. I have no idea what to put there so I just put a higher number. 
    Then I added for Internet Access Priority a Medium Priority for Ethernet Port 4 (the port my xbox is plugged into).
    Administration: Management: Web utility access: I have checked HTTP, unchecked HTTPS.
    Web utility access via Wireless: Enabled. Remote Access: Disabled.
    UPnp: Enabled.
    Allow Users to Configure: Enabled.
    Allow users to Disable Internet Access: Enabled.
    Under Diagnostics, when I try and Ping test 192.168.1.104 (xbox when on and connected to LIVE), I get:
    PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 24 data bytes
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    Request timed out.
    --- 192.168.1.104 data statistics ---
    5 Packets transmitted, 0 Packets received, 100% Packet loss
    Also, when I do Traceroute Test for my Xbox's IP, I just keep getting: 
    traceroute to 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
    1 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
    2 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
     As for the Wireless Settings, it is all on the default settings with Wi-Fi Protected setup Enabled.
    To add, I have tried connecting my modem directly to the Xbox and my connection is much improved. I have no difficulty getting the NAT open, for it seems my settings are working for that. Any help with these settings would be VERY much appreciated.

    I own 2 of these routers (one is a spare) with the latest firmware and I have been having trouble with them for over a year.  In my case the connection speed goes to a crawl and the only way to get it back is to disable the SPI firewall.  Rebooting helps for a few minutes, but the problem returns.  All of the other fixes recommended on these forums did not help.  I found out the hard way that disabling the SPI Firewall also closes all open ports ignoring your port forwarding settings.  If you have SPI Firewall disabled, you will never be able to ping your IP from an external address.  Turn your SPI Firewall back on and test your Ping.
