How often do you have to reboot?

Hello all,
Our primary file server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.5 on a 2009 model Mac Pro. I find that after around 3-4 weeks of being on, something starts happening with the OD authentication, and suddenly my users lose access to the file shares and get locked out of directories. A simple reboot solves the problem, but then it happens again in another month or so. I was just wondering if anyone experiences similar patterns, or if it's something I should troubleshoot deeper. And this has been happening since I've been managing the server - about a year or so, and since it was on 10.7.1.
Thanks for your responses.

Each to his own, but I don't think this is normal. My servers never get rebooted for problems like this.
I just checked all my OD servers and they have an average uptime of 81 days. Since the high is only 88 days I'm guessing that means there was a round of security updates or some such that were installed about 3 months ago. If it wasn't for that (and we don't knee-jerk install every update), I'd expect they'd had much longer uptimes. Indeed, my current longest-running (non-OD) server is at 251 days, but I don't know off-hand why that was rebooted.
So having to reboot your server every 3-4 weeks is certainly abnormal in my book.

How often do you have to restart your iPhone?

I've had mine almost 2 weeks. Occasionally, when I open an application, the application opens a blank white notebook page then flips back to the main menu. This happens most often with the SMS, Photos, Safari, and iPod. If I shut the phone down and restart, everything works fine. This has happened about a half dozen times in the last week and a half. Way to often in my opinion.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I should make a Genius bar appt, but the problem is with replicating the issue while I'm there. The phone will be 2 weeks old on Friday. Should I take it back and exchange it before the 14 days is up? Thanks in advance.

Alright... took it to the Apple Store and they swapped it out. I'm not sure about other Apple Stores, but the one here in D.C. (Pentagon City) is an absolute nightmare. Total chaos. I'm not sure if Apple is doing itself a service by running stores like that. The one here operates like a BestBuy, you have to chase someone down for help, and that's basically to have them retrieve the item for you. They didn't know how to swap out a SIM card, and tried to send me down to the ATT kiosk to activate it. Unbelievable. At any rate, this case is solved and I'm happy with my new phone.

How Often Do You Have To Enter Your Password When Redeeming Multiple Songs?

I pick up Starbucks "Pick of the Week" cards now and then, and I don't always get around to redeeming them until I have 3 or 4 cards. In the past, I've been able to enter a code, enter my password, and then just enter more codes until that iTunes Store session has ended. For the last several months, I've noticed (in both version 9 and 10) that I have to enter my password every time I enter a code.
Is this really "normal behavior?" If so, when did it start? I know I have entered as many as five codes with only the first requiring me to enter my password...

If you didn't charge the battery fully before testing, of course it won't last as long as expected!
If you're really worried about the battery life you need to do a test. Play several 28 kbit/s CBR MP3s, from a FULLY charged battery. The battery should last at least 24 hours. It's vital that you use the files specified, and the battery is fully charged, otherwise the test won't be accurate. Make sure to leave the player charging 30 minutes or so AFTER it appears to be fulled charged as it will trickle charge the final 0% of the battery.
If it does last 24 hours then it's down to the way the player is being used, and there is no problem with the battery.

How often should you do the maintenace cron scripts??

Hi all,
As the subject suggests, I just like to know how often should you run those maintenace cron scripts???
thanks...
Johnny
* I don't know if this is the place for this question, if not, then I am sorry. *

macuserguy,
You may find Dr. Smoke's excellent FAQ about Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts helpful.
The FAQ suggests approximately weekly basis (especially if your Mac is shutdown or in sleep mode overnight) though perhaps more frequently if you have a smaller HD as these log files can take up alot of room.
Hope that helps some,

How often can you use o2 refresh?

I'm just over a year into a 2 year contract and was considering using o2 refresh to get a better phone, but what if I wanted to this again in a years time? How often are you allowed to do it? Thanks

If this is your first O2 refresh, and you are already with O2 on a standard 24 months contract (ie CPW) you also get 25% on the current contract cancellation fee.If you log in to my O2, and choose upgrade, it will tell you how much you have to pay

How often do you -Suy?

after searching archstats, i wonder that a lot of different versions of pkgs are being run - is this because you do not -Suy frequently? let's find out!

Then there should be a poll: "How often do you archstats -u"
if you want to use archstats, then you should also run its -u after every pacman -Suy ... else, it is not serious statistics

Airport loses internet connection more often now. Have to reboot. Its about 3-4 years old now. Is there something I can do?

If your problem is due to interference, you might be able to improve things by changing the channel. An AirPort base station that old is probably an 802.11b/g model, which suggests that the best choices for channel are 1, 6, and 11.

Do you know where is the rules of engagement ? How often do you read It ?

Hi,
Do you know where is the [rules of engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/FgQ] ?
Many people know exactaly where it is, but i noted that major of SCN never read this document.
Today i noted this document link in:
Left box menu in [Community Guidelines|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/communityguidelines] on the folowing pages: [Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums] , [Wiki|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki] and [Blogs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs].
[Expert Forums|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1]
Some Forum has a locked thread like [Welcome and Rules of Engagement|Welcome and Rules of Engagement;
There people that never saw this document before. Others already saw but they never read( this is other problem ).
The SCN is a dinamyc community so the rule can be changed at any moment. How often do you check it for updatings ? We know that the general rule probably won't be changed but new rules can be added !
Wouldn't It be a good idea if this document link stay in All Threads next to link Reply to this Thread or in any place of this page ?
Thanks,

If you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

if you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

Full price. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects, not you losing the iPod.
Perhaps homeowners insurance of your credit card plan, if you used a credit card to purchase the original iPod, might cover all or part of the cost.
Regards.

I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen how many notes you have.

tonight i logged into iCloud on my PC laptop. I could not find a note. So i went to my iPhone 5s and i found my note using the simple search. And as soon as i tapped into it on my iPhone, it suddenly showed up on my laptop.
I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen (both on the iphone and on a computer of any kind) how many notes you have so you know if they are not syncing correctly, and if notes are being lost.
Also, there should be a way to download all the notes via any computer to a directory full of simple text files for the exact number of notes you have.
I have 42 notes. then I should be able to download all 42 into their own separate text files. Make the filename of the text file the first line of the Note, just like it shows up on the iDevice.
And finally, is there a character/size limit to the Note?
Thank you!

What is "other" known for in how much space you have left?

What is "other" known for in the bar at the bottom where it shows how much space you have left?

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
