IChat disconnects randomly, delays before notifying user

Hi,
I've experienced the following problem for about a year now, on various operation systems and internet connections. iChat disconnects randomly but delays before notifying the user. The screen appears as though iChat is working fine, but the user, of course, cannot receive incoming messages. Outgoing messages appear to send fine, but the recipient does not receive them. After a few minutes iChat displays a warning message that says the user is disconnected, and after relaunching the application, it works fine.
Do you have any insights on this problem?
Thanks,
Jason

HI Jason,
I see this problem occassionaly.
It seems to effect me most on Mondays and if the text chat person also wants to Video test.
Sometimes the Video chat fails but the text chat goes very slow and then deleivers several reponses all at once.
This could be several things.

I would think your is the second as I only have part of what you have. You have also got a PowerBook which I guess is not on to let the Cron scripts run at night. (see link)

OS X Lion - iChat keeps randomly disconnecting me!

I am using OS X Lion and I love iChat. It combines both simplicity and powerful usage in a nicely designed app. I don't want to use any other alternatives. I want my iChat to work again.
Has anyone been facing the same problem ? iChat keeps randomly disconnecting!

Hi,
In previous version of iChat that could log into AIM with (or without) SSL had two Server names that used to show depending if you used ther SSL or not.
The names of the server used to change as you selected or deselected SSL
SSL was added in iChat 4 to the AIM logins
The server name was slogin.oscar.aol.com
It was known that this server seemed to be less stable than the "regular" Server (login.oscar.aol.com)
This may have been due to the lesser number of server involved with any SSL Logins and any drop at the server end was therefore more noticeable.
It is also known that AIM require that any dropped SSL connection is manually restarted and should not rely on Automatic reconnection.
This generally means that if you are using SSL then you will need to do a manual reset and restart of iChat if the connection is lost.
(hence my suggestion earlier that SSL be turned Off for AIM logins until the Servers had become more stable.
iChat 6 (in Lion Also automatically changes any account that logs in to AIM to the api.oscar.aol.com server.
It appears that this server can handle SSL and non SSL logins (there is no name change).
You can manually change iChat to use the older server variants.

[SOLVED] External USB HDD drive gets disconnected randomly

Hi,
I'm encountering problem with external HDD drive. Recently I've installed a new drive and reinstalled Arch. I use my old disk as external one connected by USB. Unfortunately it get's disconnected randomly. This is what I found in journal:

So it's like I want to continue watching a movie from external drive and then player crashes because my hard disk partitions got unmounted...
I'm wondering if it can happen because disk is underpowered (it's connected only to one USB port because I lost my original USB cable which had two USB plugs). Anyway it would be strange as problem occurs also when disk is 'idle' so then the power consumption is also lower I assume. I can only say this disk was working just fine when used as internal drive. Any ideas?

Your recommendation to check cable was just - a good recommendation I played a little bit with the B connector and disk immediately stopped working. OMG it was so simple ;p Thanks. I have to buy a new cable (I hope the case is all right).
EDIT:
Confirmed with portable mp3 player. Cable (B connector) is damaged.
I just won't delete this thread as it's a perfect example to show that basic stuff and simplest things should be always checked first !

Bootup: long delay before sysinit.target.

My system seems to have a strange delay during boot that I don't know how to account for. In the SVG plot, there is a long delay before `sysinit.target` comes on, but it doesn't seem that anything is blocking it.
Also, systemd-blame shows everything starting prety quickly.

Is there a way to notify users that Air installer is starting

Hi,
I've developed an Air application that I would guess is large by typical Air standards, and when the installer starts, there is some delay before you see anything. This is being developed for a particular set of users who can be notified of the issue, but I am wondering whether there is any workaround as with most installers there is instant notification that the installation process is beginning.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

IChat disconnects constantly

I've searched the forums here but cannot find an answer to my problem. Before updating to Tiger, I found that iChat disconnected itself from AIM from time to time. Now that I've installed Tiger, it disconnects within 15 minutes every time. I keeping setting my status back to "Available" but it keeps silently disconnecting soon after. My internet connection is WiFi ADSL and when iChat disconnects the internet is still up and running fine.
iChat is basically unusable for me now, unless I somehow get used to manually reconnecting 50 times a day.

Hi disconnekt
You seem to have checked the most common things where any experienced user would start.
Here are the best suggestions I can offer until you can track down the
b cause
of your symptom so we know what to fix. Do them in any order you choose. I do easiest first, but you make the call based on what is likely in your system.
(0) Check all your connections, wireless strength, and be sure your wireless link is secure (uses a password). Make sure your DSL modem is not configured to hang up when there is a period of inactivity.
(1) Shut down everything, modems, routers, and all, for a few (10-15) minutes. Then, boot (power it up) your Modem. When its self test is done, boot your router and let it complete ITS self test. When the router's self test is done, power up your Mac, launch iChat AV, and check to see if it works now.
(2) Take ALL your wireless equipment, routers, and firewalls OUT out of the loop, connect to your modem directly via Ethernet cable, and run directly wired until you get your connection working. This is the ONLY way I can think of that will let you be CERTAIN you KNOW your wireless, router, or firewall is not causing the problem.
When it is working reliably, hook the additional equipment up again, one item at a time, to see whether the problem returns. If adding one item back makes the problem reappear, remove the item again and reinstall it again to be SURE that this specific problem/fix is repeatable. Then you will KNOW that individual component is at least one of your problems. Repeat this process for EACH removed component, ALWAYS one item at a time. When finished, you will KNOW: (1) whether this is part of your problem, and (2) EVERY component that is a problem.
When you have identified EVERY problem item in the communications loop, you can apply the info from your equipments' documentation or customer support sites or the above links.
(3) If your problem does not go away when you are running directly wired, check with your ISP to see whether they have made any recent changes. Sometimes changes that help PCs can cause problems for Mac users.
(4) Be sure your OS X Mac is healthy. Catch up on OS X Maintenance if you have not done it recently.
(5) See Ralph Johns' current Trouble Shooting thread.
(6) Check Apple's Tiger Support page and Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD article if you think that the problem is related to your Tiger install.
(7) Consider the suggestions in my iChat AV 3 works for me thread.
(8) If the timing ("15 minutes every time") is precisely repeatable, consider any apps that may be conflicting with iChat or iSight that have a regular schedule. Have you set your Mail to check for new Mail every 15 minutes, etc.? Any ideas from Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ?
(9) Consider changing your Discussion alias to "Rock Solid Connected" :-))

M451dn disconnects randomly

Greetings!
I have two printers over here, both M451dn's. One of the M451's will disconnect randomly from the computer. It does not disconnect completely, leaving the M451dn's printer object faded. Instead it creates a new "unknown device" and refuses to function after that. Every time it does this, it displays "HP Web Services" from its menu automatically. The solution (albeit temporary) is to restart the computer or printer, or replug-in the USB cable from either the printer or computer. After that the printer starts printing from the queue in Windows, and functions normally. It only takes a few hours of use for the printer to go back to its old behavior.
I have swapped power and usb cables. Reinstalled the driver, and even plugged the printer directly in to the wall instead of a power strip. Obviously, I could test to see if it is the printer by swapping it for the other functioning printer. But, I wanted to post and see what HP's forum thought first.
Thanks for your help!

These bugs should be related to both 5508 and 4400, pls. see Cisco's software advisory:
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/Wireless/Deferral/Software_Advisory_6_0_196_0.html
You can try both versions to see if the bugs be fixed. If your problem still not fix after upgrade, you have to open debug(debug client xxx) in WLC, use some wireless analyzing tools to capture the packets and check what happened during the disconnection(always remember to use NTP to sync all the related equipments' time). And of course, call Cisco TAC.
Before that, you definately should do some site survey to see if there's any coverage hole, also do some testing especially with simple environment as suggested by George. For example, firstly choose open, no ecryption for the WLAN, no session time out, no aironet extention, no dhcp(using static IP), enable low data rate such 1M/2M, etc. then test it, if problem disappear, then add more parameters towards your final enviroment to see which parameter cause the disconnection. If problem still exist, you need to check Intermec wlan driver, call TAC.

Random delays with tpacall

Dear friends,
we do have an issue that sometimes result in a random delay. We haven't thoroughly invesitigaded this, so there might be some bad conclusions made in the scenario described below
We're using Tuxedo 11.1.1.2.0 and DB2 9.7
When we're doin' two sequential tpacall's (with TPSIGRSTRT only) to 2 services (A and B) (implemented in the same server) doin' some SQL-operations to a DB2-database. It usually works well, but once in a while it seems like the there's a delay for about 1 second before the service(s) is/are processed. When we digged a little deeper into this, the delay seemed to occur when the call to service B ended up in the server before the call to service A
In this case, the services just read some data so, as a quick and dirty workaround, we called the services with TPSIGRSTRT | TPNOTRAN and the "random" delay disappeared. This "workaround" is not desirable (in a SOA-architecture) and may not even be applicable all the time
As I wrote above, we haven't really digged in to this problem, so DB2 might be the one to blame as well, the answer may lay in how the two products work togehter (perhaps releaded to xa_reg vs ax_reg ?)
Have anyone experienced something like this ? Does anyone have an explanation ? Can it be a defect (in implementation or design) in one of the products ?
Best regards,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,
When you say 2 services implemented in the same server, you mean the same server executable, or the same server instance, i.e., how many copies of the server are running? If there are multiple copies of the server running, are they in the same group? Also, are the servers in a transactional group, i.e., one with an OPENINFO string and build against an DB2 as an RM? The reason I ask this second question is that when in a transactional group, Tuxedo maintains and manages the connection to the RM. In non-transactional groups, it is up to the application to manage the connections.
You say the services just read some data, so there should be no dependencies in the database between the two such as readying cursors or the like?
If all you changed was to add TPNOTRAN, then I suspect it may be a DB2 issue. One way to check is to enable XA tracing and see if DB2 is calling back with an ax_reg() call in the execution of either service. If DB2 is calling Tuxedo with ax_reg(), then DB2 thinks you are modifying the state of the database and is trying to join a global transaction. This still doesn't explain the delay, although the timestamps on the traces may help. TSAM Plus would also be able to potentially help identify the cause of this problem, or at least the culprit responsible for the delay.
One other possibility is that if you are doing this a lot, say thousands of times a second, then you may be hitting the global transaction table lock hard enough to cause some serious contention issues. But again, I'm not sure why a 1 second delay.
Do you know if the delay only occurs when service B gets processed before service A?

We use like 30 handhelds. 7-8 of them disconnects randomly. The handhelds are reconnecting after 15 minutes which is along time for us. I have looked at the handheld logs it retransmits the key and gets timeout. I have tested the field with 3 handhelds while roaming. None of them disconnected but sometimes handhelds disconnects. Maybe this happens on same handhelds. I will look for it.
I have searched the forum but couldn't find any solution. I use agressive load balancing. WPA/WPA PSK for authentication.
Software Version 6.0.196.0
Any trick on handhelds or on WLC side that can be done?
I found this article = http://intermec.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9432
Will try to set these setting on the handhelds. Maybe some of you experience the problem.

IChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen

iChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen
this started since I installed Leopard; if I go back to 10.4 it works OK. I got rid of all the plist and it still hangs up. How can I uninstall this. On my laptop it works OK but I installed it with complete erase on laptop; on my desktop I stalled it over the old system.
error message AIM time out An AIM service error occurred.
Error: Serv:RequestTimeout
and you have attemptedto log too often in a short period of time. wait a few minutes before trying to login in again.
EVEN THOUGH I ONLY TRIED ONCE TO LOG IN.

If you Archived and Installed then check iChat launches from the Applications Folder.
If it does that Drag the current (iChat 3) icon off the DOCK and drag iChat 4 to the DOCK.

How to disconnect DB connections before batch job runs

Hi All,
I have a batch job which generates some static reports at specified location. My question is that before my batch job runs I want to disconnect all DB connections and then run the batch job then get the system up for availabily. Could you please suggest me how do I disconnect the connections before batch runs? I am using Oracle 9i DB. Your help would be more appreciated.

Oracle is intended as a multi-user multi-processing server. It is designed that way. It is developed that. It is sold and used that way.
Why would you want to kick off all other processes (sessions) just to run a single batch process? To make it faster?
If so, and the idea is to make the batch process faster, then
a) WHAT makes the batch process slow?
b) did you determine that this is caused by other processes?

ICHAT disconnects while typing a chat

A buddy appears and I'll start chatting with them. While I'm typing a phrase to send, before I even hit send, iChat disconnects and I am also disconnected from my DSL. This only happens while actually typing in a chat, it does not shut down when the iChat window is open but nobody is chatting with me. Only when I am typing does it disconnect. It just started happening one day. iChat always worked fine in the past. This disconnection problem does not happen in any other situation other than iChat. Any advice?

No problem.
Glad it helped.

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.
