Internt down after Skype install

A friend of mine just bought a new macbook yesterday. She is in the bahamas today and we tried to set up a video chat. She installed skype so we could talk because ichat would not work. After quitting skype iChat would not connect and she cannot get on the internet. Since her internet is down and she is on an island I am trying to help get this fixed. Please Advise.

Seems like the problem was the security zones.
Once I gave "Everyone" read access to:
com.sap.portal
com.sap.UME
It worked fine again....weird a KMC install would reset this.
Regards,
Patrick

    You need more ram. But has it really been 3 months since you rebooted this computer? Restart it once in awhile and some of that slowness might go away.

  • Macbook freezing and shutting down after Leopard install

    so.. i have a black Core 2 Duo Macbook with 2gb ram, and i installed Leopard on it.
    several times since the install, the screen has frozen - all animations stopped, everything unresponsive, etc. the first few times that was it - then it's been crashing within an hour or two every time i reboot - this time with the message telling me how to restart my computer by holding down the power button.
    not sure what is causing it - i thought it was Spaces, but i disabled that and the crashes are still happening.
    anyone else experiencing this???

    I have had a number of hangs on my new 24" iMac with Leopard, but none so far on my MacBook. I thought I had found an explanation last night after reading an artice on the Daring Fireball about Logitech mouse drivers ( I use an MX1000 Laser Mouse ) so disabled the Logitech Control Panel, but I have just had another hang. This time I was just logging into work in Win XP under Parallels but last night I was just browsing in Time Machine.
    Hope I can find an answer soon as this is getting a little frustrating.

  • Onboard audio modules won't load after Skype install on 64b Arch

    Hi,
    I've a fully updated Arch 64b/KDE 4.5.2 (new PC).
    My motherboard has a Realtek ALC889 Audio controller, and, in addition I have a Radeon 5600 graphic PCIe card with HDMI output.
    I have the on-board audio controller enabled at the BIOS.
    Initially, my audio worked fine, till I installed (from Arch repositories) Skype along with required 32b libraries.
    My current status, after reboot:
    The 889 module is not loaded (see below), only the one included in the graphic card.
    When logging in KDE, I do hear the sounds.
    Although Skype loads and logs-in fine, I can't hear Skype's test sounds nor does it capture the microphone connected to my motherboard back microphone plug. (Skype options offer ONLy Pulse Audio both for output and capture).
    Both alsa-utils and alsa-oss are installed.
    Please advise how do I restore full Audio capabilities (along with functional Skype).
    Thanks!
    I've tried to follow the Alsa wiki of Arch with the following results:

    I've tried to modify my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to the following  but, during boot, noticed a message saying modprobe ignores the option due to an error. The same happened also after omitting the "index=0" per the Wiki's recommendation.
    # /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
    options snd-pcsp index=2
    # disable autoload of ipv6
    alias net-pf-10 off
    # added by miki
    options snd_hda_codec_realtek  index=0
    options snd-pcsp index=1

    p0x8  Thank you for the response, yes the host is Arch Linux.  I am running the most current version of Virtual Box v4.2.8-1.
    Now, with what you are saying, what I am missing.  How do I get the VMs to work properly.  So far, I have been able to get the Network up and running via each VM, Mouse and Keyboard integration is working.  Also was able to get USB devices working as well.  But my screen resolution is garbage for all 3 VM's.  In doing some other reading, I noted where within the VM (Windows XP to be specific) there will be an icon on the lower right corner stating Oracle VM Virtualbox Guest Additions.  This will also display a VBox system trey for lack of a better word on the bottom where you can attach devices and what not.  That is what I am trying to get working on all 3 of my VMs.
    Thank you again, and I should have paid more attention to detail as that section of the Wiki does say "Arch Guest" and not "Arch Host"
    Edit:  One thing I wanted to add.  In reading the wiki it states:
    Guest additions disc The virtualbox package also suggests installing virtualbox-guest-iso on the host (Arch Linux) running VirtualBox. It is a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems. Make it available to the (running) guest by going to Devices and clicking "Install Guest Additions... Host+D". Then run the guest additions installation from inside the guest.
    I don't see the "Devices" option in order to run this.  I have the virtualbox-guest-iso package installed in Arch, but when running the VM, I don't see a "Devices" option.

  • Portal down after KMC install

    Hello,
    After installing KMC from the SR1 DVD I can't even get to the Portal login page.  The installation went well and the analyzer shows everything green (one green check with a line through it for j2ee login but since I see the same results with other working portals i assume this is okay) I saw a few threads about this kind of problem....could it because I had to reset the adm password? Here is the error (something to do with security?):  I can access the root of the j2ee webserver and see the usermanagement of the portal through there...

  • Macbook pro shutting down after I installed new RAM

    I recently installed 8 GB of new RAM (purchased from Best buy). and a few times since I did that (yesterday morning),  my laptop has shut down and a grey screen has popped up with something saying  "Your computer has shut down because of a problem, please wait a few minutes for it to restart"  Or something like that.
    I've installed RAM before and this was super easy and quick.  The machine says both RAM sticks are "OK" when I go to the system report.   Yet I cant help but think thats the problem.    
    Does anyone know what that could be?   The ONLY thing I am a tad unsure of, is the little "pop" or "click" the sticks should make when you put them in.  I don't remember hearing that.
    Any ideas?  I really don't want to have to go back to my standard 4 gigs or RAM.
    system specs.
    2.8 C2D Mid 2009 Macbook Pro, 

    Either your RAM is no good, of poor quality, the wrong specs or it's not installed correctly or it got subjected to static electricity when you put it in.
    Best Buy isn't as Mac centric, thus the quality of RAM that Mac's require may not be there.
    You should have purchased from Crucial.com or Other World Computing or similar that tests the RAM to make sure it works the first time you put it in, as it costs everyone money to ship bad RAM back and forth.
    I put in 16GB a couple of days ago, took five minutes and it works perfectly.
    Nothing like top tier RAM for a top of the line machine, especially with all those tiny, easy to lose screws Apple uses.

  • Why Wont my mac Mini Shut Down After SSD Install?

    Heres the Gist,
    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini (A1283) 2.53 GHz, 4gig ram.  that i've been running as a media server.  Recently the harddrive died in it. I decided to install a Intel 320 Series GEN3 SSD Drive.  The install went fine and clean, Mac booted up perfectly, installed a new version of OSX 10.6, no issues, did all the updates. The only software I installed was Plex Media Server (http://www.plexapp.com/)  and Google Chrome.
    Now my issue is, when i go to shut the Mac Mini down, all that happens is the dock disappears and all the desktop icons then it just sits there, nothing happens.  I reset the PMU and it still does the same thing, except now the fan is on high all the time.
    Other things i've tried:
    Verifiying and Repairing the Disc Permissions
    Verifiying and Repairing the Disc
    Closing all apps before shut down
    disconnecting all network drives and external drives before shut down
    reseting the PMU
    When I get home im going to try:
    Resetting the SMU.
    Running YASU (Although its a fresh install with no apps so not to sure what it will find)
    Im looking for any and all other suggestions to try.  I was considering upgrading to 10.7 to see if its just a software glitch, but im not to sure why this would be happening now.
    thanks for any and all advice in advance

  • Just updated my 4S to iOS 6 - it shut down after the instait showed a "connect to iTunes" icon.

    Just updated my 3GS to iOS 6 - it shut down after the install - then it showed a "connect to iTunes" icon.
    iTunes said the phone was in recovery mode & needed to be restored. Clicked "restore" in iTunes & get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" - didnt work - came back to showing the "connect to iTunes" icon.
    Have repeated the process twice now - same result - "connect to iTunes" icon displayed on the phone & iTunes says the phone is still in recovery mode

  • Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

    PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
    I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
    I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
    What can be the problem here, please help?
    Thanks.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • 8.1 can't shut down after installing itunes

    I recently reformatted and did a clean install of window's 8.1
    I have done all updates, both windows and drivers and the machine is very smooth and stable.
    After installing iTunes the computer will no longer shut down, it displays the logging off / shutting down screen but then just reboots.
    I have attempted numerous resolutions to no avail, i.e. disabled NIC as bootable device, disabled the hybrid boot feature & flashed and tweaked some BIOS settings.
    The computer will not even shut down when I give the command "shutdown /s /t 0"
    I only had Windows Office and iTunes installed on the computer and suspecting that iTunes may be the culprit, I uninstalled it and now the computer shuts down without any issue.
    I have since read several threads about iTunes and shutdown/restart issues with 64 bit versions of Windows although I have not found anyone else with my exact issue.
    Is anyone aware of a resolution for this?
    For now I will need to install iTunes so I can sync my phone and then uninstall so I can shut down!

    Fingers crossed there will be an update for this, I was lucky that my install so was new that there weren't very many things that could have caused it because I don't think it would have ever occurred to me that iTunes was the issue.
    I literally tried every other possibility before waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that the problem started right after I installed iTunes.
    I have had issues with Apple software in the past where I attempt to disable it from launching automatically when I boot the computer and it will simply create another entry for itself in the startup list.
    If I disable that one it makes another, and another and another.... It's like the freaking Apple hydra.
    The want me to know how much I need them! lol

  • HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection.  How can I get back to normal operating speed?

    After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely.  How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode?  Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Slow down after installing Lion OS

    My Macbook pro later than 2009 model slowed down after installing the new OS Lion
    any suggestions to speed it up

    First suggestion ,there have been a number of identical user questions like yours, in the Lion Community. If you want to talk to other MacBook Pro owners, try the forum they have.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    What you do not need is some gizmo to "speed up" or clean caches etc.
    Maybe you need to make more room on your hard drive, or add more RAM.
    For now, hold down Command-R and run Disk Utility to check the health of your system drive (Lion Recovery Mode)

  • Laptop broke down after installing kernel 3.0

    My laptop died little after installing kernel 3.0 (the "linux" package). Details:
    - Laptop model: ASUS K50AB-SX029L, it was exactly 2 years minus 10 days old (based on the purchase date); specifictions here.
    - using cpufreq frequency scaling (ondemand) and the catalyst drivers for video - if this is useful.
    - the laptop used to get heated  when the ventilation became obstructed by dust; however, the sensors worked, it used to instantly shut down when it was intensely used and too hot in the room.
    - after I installed linux-3.0, I noticed some error message early at boot time, something about "soft restart" or "soft reboot" and something about "device" (not configured, maybe) - I don't remember well.
    How it happened: I installed kernel 3.0 yesterday, rebooted, then built/installed the AUR ATI drivers (catalyst-utils, catalyst, lib32-catalyst-utils), rebooted again and then I left it building an AUR package. When I came back to it, the desktop was frozen, I forced a shutdown using the power button and since then, every time I turn it on, it gets powered, the fan is spinning and the USB external drive starts, but nothing else happen - no display, no boot, no spinning HDD. I removed its CMOS battery, but the same.
    Now, since too many possible factors coincide - I installed kernel 3.0 for the first time, laptop was 2 y.o., it was used somehow intensely along the time, its warranty was just expiring - it is of concern to me what happened, if possible to find out. I mention that it was 2 years old because another laptop left me down before, after the exactly same period of using Linux (Arch for like 4 months on that one), different model and different brand (Acer). What is of interest:
    - someone else's laptop breaking down coincided with updating to kernel 3.0?
    - someone else's laptop broke down after 2 years or similar of using Linux/Arch daily? Any difference in reliability compared to using other OSs?
    - any insight in the reliability/durability of the notebook hardware in general (things that may not depend on the OS)? I mean if it was supposed to die anyway after 2 years of usage - which sounds too short to me, btw - maybe it was just a big coincidence that it happened right after linux 3.0 was installed. But there is a need for some arguments supporting this hypothesis, while searching the web comes with a lot of irrelevant or contradictory information.
    - if the case, how could the malfunctioning/misconfiguration of the OSs in general, Linux in particular, damage the hardware? I think overheating is out of question when the sensors work, but I'm open to information on this subject.
    - what data (logs, etc) could be relevant and how should I analyze it, after retrieving it off the dead laptop HDD?

My HP dv9000t mobo got fried exact 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Then fixing that, the wireless broke down, then the lcd got dead pixels. I think this is not a coincidence... Lenovo Thinkpad T series is what I went with after I gave up on the HP.
    +1 on both. I had a kernel panic in my head this AM, too, but if you ask me it sounds suspiciously like a planned 2-year lifecycle on the products. Sack of middle fingers to the OEM retail products divisions.
    Last night I had started compiling a kernel and was working on my thesis (which has nothing to do with computers besides using a word processor). Did a $ sudo pm-suspend and went to sleep when the machine finished compiling. This morning I'm at my desk with a multimeter and trying to find a local place that carries SATA to USB assembly.
    BIOS won't come up, screen won't turn on, I'm definitely not getting to GRUB--pressing enter repeatedly and waiting does not lead to the hard disk thrashing at all. Yanked the battery, tested the adapter, cycled the power switch b/c I can't find the CMOS jumper and there's no repair manual for this thing. I realize I did leave a single USB fan and a USB light (turned off) plugged in during the suspend, but am having a hard time thinking that drawing power at USB spec (5V/100mA max) from USB could have done this especially with the A/C power source available. I'm not familiar with the actual suspend process, but a 5V rail is a 5V rail when it's got power, right?
    I'm not going to start yanking individual components just yet, I actually want to get sh!t done today. The machine in question has a manufacture date of January 2009 stamped on the bottom.
    Mfg Date: 2009/01/07
    So two years, seven months and about three weeks of life. Even with a backup of mission-critical files from last week, this sucks--losing 60 hours of work is FTL. Fingers crossed that whatever zapped it didn't get to the disk. I'm still kinda shocked about all this. Get it? Shocked? Har har X-(
    I'm not going to blame the 3.0 kernel though I was tempted. "But I didn't even install the new kernel... how can this be"? I thought maybe I blew up my processor or something by compiling, running libreoffice, VLC and firefox all at once... hardly. Bad timing on a new kernel, maybe, or I managed to piss off some DelHewlitSUSway god, or something. I've had battery/power issues on this machine almost since day one, but never any indication of impending doom.
    I agree completely with the advice to get laptops from a "small business" or institutionally-oriented line, like Lenovo/IBM's Thinkpads, and even thought about Mac this morning, but don't have a trust fund. I'm writing this on a second-hand Thinkpad R series almost six years old. The LCD screen and/or cable are damaged, the disk spins at an underwhelming 4300 RPM or whatever and I have to keep the fan at max levels all the time but at least it f-cking boots up.
    Sorry if this is a thread hijack, but if you can't get to BIOS you can't get to BIOS. After confirming it's not a video issue the only options are to yank all parts not necessary to booting up, clear the CMOS by finding the jumper or battery or trying to cycle power via the switch (for, like, 5 minutes), and reinstall parts one-by-one until replicating the issue. If you can't get that far, the mobo, BIOS or processor is probably nuked.
