Intel Mini has problem with Mail/internet after firmware update (0.1)

Hello there.
I'm not sure, but I think my Intel Mini has gone bonkers after a firmware update (Mac mini-SMC-firmware-updater (1.0)
What happend is, that connecting to (both of) my two Gmail and Tiscali accounts is not working anymore. (no connection through gate 995)
I did not change anything in the accountsetup.
But now I notice that even my torrents (oops) can't connect anymore.
I think this all took place after the firmware update.
On Dutch sites I do not seem to get any useable answers, so I thought it be wise to go a bit more international.
Could anyone help me out on this one?
Cheers.
Marco

Wizzard,
Having the same problem here.  After updating the firmware the wireless connection to the network is unstable.  After rebooting the laptop most of the time I get "Low or no connectivity" message.  Sometimes it connects and dies after a few minutes.  And sometimes it connects and stays connected until shut down.
What do you mean by "u have to reset it for 30 seconds and then reconfigure it"?  Do you mean you actually have to reset the router to default settings and reconfigure, or just power down and bring it back up?
Thanks,
Stas

  • Linksys WRT54 G V1.1 - Problems with SBC DSL after firmware update

    I have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1. I also have AT&T SBC Yahoo! DSL with the SpeedStream 5100 DSL modem.
    It previously had the original firmware, as I never updated it. Last night I updated the firmware. It was successful. However ever since I have not been able to successfully connect to my SBC DSL.
    I set it to PPPOE and used my SBC username and password to connect but it would not connect. Router name, domain name, host name and the new field called "service name" were all left blank previously....so I do not think anything changed there. I talked to the SBC technical support and the lady had no information to give me regarding any of those fields because the router was 3rd party....she gave me the Linksys number but how are they supposed to know any of SBC's specific information?  Anyway I figured I mind as well post here instead of waiting in line for an on-line Linksys technical advisor.
    There were also new added options in the updated firmware version like "advanced settings" I believe it is called....since the firmware update the "router" was set to be a hub instead of a router....so I changed it to router. Then I was able to go to status and finally be able to connect. Prior to that it was giving me an error saying it was not able to obtain an IP address from the server.
    Although I was able to connect to the SBC DSL service through the router I am still unable to actually get an internet connection. Cannot receive weather through weatherbug or access websites through IE7. For the time being I disconnected the router and have the modem hooked directly to my desktop. This works OK temporarily but I'd love to get the router up and running again so I could use my wireless laptop as well as the increased security that the router provides.
    If you can think of something I am forgetting or doing wrong with this new firmware update let me know. There are a bunch more options and settings than the original firmware that I am not really familiar with. Thank you in advance!

    With most AT&T systems, the modem does your PPPoE login.  The Linksys router should not repeat this login.  Instead, in the WRT54G, the "Internet Connection Type" should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).  This is the factory default setting.
    Additionally, after a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    So, to fix your system, do the following:
    First, reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, then power down your network, then wire the ethernet port on the 5100 to the Internet port on the WRT54G.  Leave one computer wired to a LAN port on the WRT54G.  Power up your network.  It should work.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router might be dead.  Report back with this problem.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Problem with external keyboard after firmware update

    I had an external keyboard plugged into my Macbook Pro (I normally use it on my Power Mac G5). Did a software update on the Pro, had an update for the Aluminum keyboard. Didn't notice it saying not to have any external keyboards plugged in. After the software failed to update because of my external being connected, the external stopped working, both on my Macbook and on my G5 tower. When I connect a mouse to the keyboard, the mouse still works completely fine. But typing won't work.
    Any idea of what I can do to fix this?

    Reload the firmware update and make sure it completes.

  • Has anyone else experienced problems logging onto internet after ios7 update?  I have to go through all these resets of iPad and the modem until the iPad recognizes the home internet. It is highly frustrating.

    Experiencing difficulty logging into the home internet after iOS 7 update. It will no
    to recognize the wifi. I have to reset the iPad network settings in airplane mode and the modem each time I need to use the internet. If I'm lucky the iPad will then accept the wifi code and join the network. so frustrating!

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Problems with mail fetching after 2.1 firmware (NEW THREAD)

    That other post is getting way too long. So here is another one that I hope people jump on.
    As many of you can relate, my iPhone no longer fetches mail at the scheduled intervals when "sleeping". I must manually check for new mail now. This is obviously a significant feature that is now gone since the 2.1 firmware update.
    Any word on a fix yet for this?!? Is one even in the works? Was this an intentional change to the firmware by apple? I called iPhone support and the tech was no help at all. He had zero answers or solutions for me.

    Most interesting that people at Apple have time to delete posts here, but not respond to our problems.
    Apple, why don't you answer some of these people???
    What other posts don't people get to see?

  • Problems with monitor/resolution after software update

    I installed the latest security update tonight, and now my monitor no longer properly works with my mini. I have a Dell 2005FPW. I was using 1680x1050 resolution with no problems. When I rebooted after the update, I noticed my resolution had been changed... and now the mac only detects my display as a "VGA display" and I can't select that resolution any more! The monitor still works fine with my PC.
    How can I get my 1680x1050 back??

    Do you have a KVM switch to share your monitor between your Mac and your PC? I was getting this problem when I got one of these so my new Mac could share my monitor etc with my old one but found a way round it. In System Preferences -> Displays, tick the 'Show displays in menu bar' box. Then click on 'Detect displays' from the drop down menu. The screen will go blue for a moment and the computer will recognise the monitor for what it is.

  • Problems with LG Enact after software update to KitKat

    After the update, I seem to have
    1) Battery charging issues. Problems charging past 96% (or at least appears that way on the notifications bar on my phone). Have had to unplug and/or restart phone to complete the charge and sometimes it doesn't always work.
    2) Slower 4G speeds. Often going down to 3G or 1X
    3) Phone seems sluggish overall going from app to app and also when typing on the keyboard
    4) Freezing when using wifi or phone data plan.
    I've googled these problems and appears that other phones have been having one or more of these issues as well. Any ideas on how to fix these issues?

    If you've googled, then you likely have seen some of the suggested "fixes".  Have you tried:
    1) Check your network settings - be sure it'[s set to LTE/CDMA - I've noticed that updates and resets on my phones tend to revert to Global which results in glitchy behavior, at least for me.  Resetting to LTE/CDMA and restarting helps.
    2) Run a system cache clear, it won't affect any of your data or setting but WILL clear up unused fuiles and processes that may be slowing things down and causing the sluggishness you see. 
    Performing a wipe cache partition removes any temporary files that may be causing an issue with the device. All personal files and settings are not affected by this option.
    Power the device off.
    Press and hold the Volume Up and Down button then press the Power button.
    When presented with the Boot Mode Selection Menu, release all buttons.
    Press Volume Down button to select 'Recovery' then press the Volume Up button.
    From the Droid triage screen:
    Press and hold the Volume down button.
    Press and release the Volume up button.
    Release the Volume down button.
    Select wipe cache partition then press the Power button.
    Use Volume keys to navigate options.
    Select reboot system now then press the Power button.
    Use Volume keys to navigate options. 
    3) FDR - Factory Data Reset - be sure all your contacts, photos, etc are backed up - if you use Google to store contacts and auto back up photos and music it should already be backed up.  Once you do the reset, restore from Google, and selectively reinstall your apps.  This is a last resort, but it can clear out a lot of accumulated gunk.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with external HDD after installing updates in Mac os X 10.5 leopard

    Hi,
    I just went out to the store and bought a copy of the leopard.
    I installed it with nothing attached to the computer. Everything went fine.
    When I went to update the software I had two packages there that I updates, so I had to restart the computer. when it started again it indicated that it had problems with my Iomega Ultramax 1tb disk. It says that disk repair failed and that I only have limited access to the disk. and since it's ALOT of data on the disk, I don¨t rally got the tools to copy everything to another location and then erase the disk and copy everything back. So does anyone know if there's a solution to this.
    I'd be really happy to get a solution on this,
    thanks alot.
    Rich

    When I'm using disk utility and use "verify disk" I get the following message:
    "First Aid failed
    Disk utility stopped verifying "UltraMax" because the following error was encountered.
    Filesystem verify or repair failed."

  • Is anyone having problems with i message after newest update?

    since i updated my iphone to the newest 5.1 my imessage isnt working properly.. it will sometimes let me imessage certain people and other times not i was wondering if anyone is having the same problem or knows how to fix it. I have the iphone 4s but i am in europe and i am basically using it as an ipod because it doesnt currently have service. This problem is happening when i am connected to wifi so the imessaging should work...
    any thoughts?

    Yes, the US-122 is a usb interface. I have been using it for several years now.
    I have had no problems until this last OS update, which also included an iTunes update that I have heard folks are having burning problems with.
    I can SEE the signal going in (in the sys prefs meters), as well as in LE's meters, but no sound comes out of my monitors. Yet I CAN play songs in iTunes and pre-recorded tracks in LE7 and GB, without problems at all, as well as any other audio from online sources and from the OS, like alerts, etc. It is only audio straight from the US-122 that does not make a sound.
    I find it so odd that the OS Sys prefs show a signal, yet no sound is present, while all other apps produce sound as usual.
    I have repaired permissions, and have reset SOUND and AUDIO/MIDI setting severals times.
    I USED to be able to play guitar through my Vox ToneLab, connected directly to the US-122 into the Mac, whether I was using LE7 or GB or neither. Now I get NOTHING from it at all (aside from the OS meters), no matter what.
    I'd suspect a cable if not for the signal in the meters, and the sound from every other audio app, including pre-recorded LE7 & GB stuff.
    I have had minor problems in the past, but never anything like this.

  • Problem with Z77A-G43 After bios updating

    Hi guys
    I purchased my main a week ago, the bus of my rams are 1600 but main detect it 1333. So i updated my bios of 2.7 to 2.10 with live update 5, after the updating progress finished my pc restarted, it doest give any picture and after 20 sec reastart again and again!
    I shorted the jumper, i brought out the battery but it didn't have any result. Please tell me a solution. And forgave me for my poor english. My pc:
    Msi z77a g43
    2*4gb 1600
    Core i5 3570k
    Sapphire 7790 dualX

    RAM defaulting to DDR3 1333 is common as the SPD profile of the chips is set for that. For 1600, either manual setting is required or X.M.P. can be tried if the modules have X.M.P. profile.
    Live Update bricked your board. Solution is to take the mainboard to a shop with an SPI flash programming device, or obtain RMA for an MSI Service Center, or contact your reseller for instruction.
    Next time you need to flash, do it the safe way;
