IP over FireWire keeps going down

I use IP over FireWire with static IP addresses to sync two Macs every day. Every since upgrading to Leopard, that Mac that runs the sync keeps losing its IP over FireWire connection - it looks OK in the Network prefs pane, but won't mount the other machine's drive over AFP until I reboot.
Any idea what might be going on?

I use something completely different than 192.x.x.x. I use 10.10.0.x. I don't really see how this could have anything to do with anything if it works perfectly and then stops working. I could understand if it doesn't work at all, so maybe you can explain the logic behind this then I could configure things differently in an attempt to affect a fix.
As for the adapters (and drivers) in question, there are ~7 devices accessing the guest network. They are all using a variety of chipsets, 1 is ralink, 1 is broadcom, 1 is atheros, 1 is realtek, 1 is an iPad, whatever that uses and then there's a roku box and 1 android phone.
As I mentioned, they work perfectly when they work - when the guest network goes down nothing can connect to it so I don't think it can be the driver. If it were to be a driver issue then it wouldn't work properly from the getgo, or 1 or 2 devices with bad drivers would fault, but in this case it's all of them.
Oddly enough, my wireless stuff and lan is never affected. just the guest network but I have to reboot every time the issue crops up to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated as I'd really rather not have to go spend money on something else.
Is there anyone currently replying to this that uses their GN long term? If not could you please try? By long term I mean constantly use it and let me know if it goes down eventually. I'd really like to figure this out.

After upgrading to Mavericks, the free space on my SSD keeps going down for no apparent reason

I downloaded Mavericks and installed it on my macbookpro ( with Crucial M4 SSD) and the free space on my ssd keeps going down for no reason. I reinstalled it from a bootable flashdrive, and the free space went from 20G to 60. Since then it keeps going down and I am now on 48G. I cannot find the source of the drain. Anyone else with the same problem?

HT4623 Why the volume of iPhone keeps going down without any button being pushed

The volume of my iPhone keeps going down without any button being pushed, why?

Hello there Saber7,
If I understand correctly, the phone seems to think the phones volume up is constantly being pressedbut the button still clicks when you press it. This should be easy to isolate to hardware or software, so I would start by quitting all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that reset the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

SAP Forums keeps going down

Why does SAP Forums keep going down? It seems that it goes down almost everyday for a short while. Will we have to just accept this or will the situation eventually improve? Doesn't this reflect badly on the SAP company?
Al Lal

Hi,
the current version of the forum software behaves indeed not very stable. "Everyday" is of course an exaggeration, and if the forums are down, they are back within minutes.
However, we are of course investigating this to find the root cause. Sorry for any inconvenience.
BTW: The forum software is not from SAP, but by a third party vendor (stand-alone). I mention this not because I want to defend anything, but since I have to read these far-fetched rhetorical questions in the morning, I feel the need to...

My itunes store balance keeps going down. It said I had $1.20 but when I tried to buy song it said I had .20 and then when I added new $25 card it said I had $25.02?

My itunes store balance keeps going down. It said I had $1.20 but when I tried to buy a song it changed to $0.20 and then when I added another $25 card it now says I only have $25.02??

Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

My Website keeps going down everyweek

Hi,
I have a website hosted on Azure (with the Standard pricing tier) and for the past months I am experiencing with outages of about 15-30mins on a weekly basis.
When I first noticed this problem I went ahead and created an alert rule to notify me when the website is not responding. Since then, I have received over 30 emails on different days about the problem.
The issues happen even if my website is not under user traffic at all (2am for instance).
When I am experiencing these problems, I checked the Azure Dashboard and it lists as being ok, with no problems on the service quality. I can access my dashboard but can't navigate to my website.
It is very complicated for me to pay for a cloud service that goes down for 15min each week!
I would like your assistance on identifying the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Wifi keeps going down

I have an Airport Extreme for wireless but the connection has been frequently going down on my G5. When I try to rejoin I get a connection timeout message. The only way to reconnect is to restart the G5. Any thoughts?

2 Mbps is fine.
Do an option click on the Airport Icon. Try this a number of times to get a decent sample. What Transmit Rates/RSSI are you getting?
Somebody nearby might have started blasting you out with a microwave oven or cell phone. And download AirRadar demo which will show you which channels are occupied and the strength of those networks, including your own.
http://www.koingosw.com/products/airradar.php
Or iStumbler, completely free. (But which appears to be slower to scan all networks.)

Another possibility is to reboot the router, which might be ready to fall over.

My new macbook air storage keep going down without doing anything.

so, i got a new macbook air 11 inch, 120 gb. i set it all up and stuff and when i check my storage i only got 99 and stuff left. how can that be? i didn't download anything, all i did was set it up. I download stuff and delete it so my storage keeps going up and down. Then one day, i have to restore my cousin's iPad for her using my macbook which has 99 something gb, then after that's done, the storage goes down to 93 gb. Seriously, i didn't do anything. please explain to me if the stuff i do takes storage or not becauseI have to save storage for school works. Thank you for reading

Move your cursor up to the Apple menu and select About this Mac then select Storage from the options at the top of the dialog box that opens. This Spotlight view will show you how much of the drive is being used to store Applications, Files, Music, etc. Other is something of a catchall group so it doesn't really help.
One explanation for the "missing" space is Backups. If you are using TimeMachine the computer will make backups to the internal drive whenever it isn't connected to the TimeMachine drive. This 'missing' space really isn't missing because if you really need it the computer will automatically delete the internal backups to free it up for you.
Another explanation are cache files and system logs. Your programs and the operating system need to keep temporary files and they aren't always immediately deleted. Your browser(s) also create cache files which makes your internet surfing experience much faster for sites you frequently visit. These caches can be quite large.
To delete/trim system and application caches you can restart your computer while holding the shift key. This is a safe boot and among other things it will delete/trim caches. Reboot normally once you get to the Finder. Also, remember to empty the trash can - putting stuff in the trash doesn't immediately delete it. If you use iPhoto you must manually delete its trash too.

6th gen iPod Nano volume keeps going down on its own

It's been getting worse lately. It started happening towards the end of each of my run, but now even when I leave it on my desk, I can see the volume just move down on its own to zero. It is very unreliable and during long runs, I have to keep battling with the volume (it goes down on its own, and I have to bring it back up again). Shutting the iPod Nano off and turning it back on doesnt help.
Anyone else encounters this? What should I do? My iPod Nano is about 1 year old.

This issue is usually the result of the Nano coming into contact with moisture (likely from your workouts). Try putting the iPod into an uncooked bag of dried rice and leaving it sit for a few days. This should absorb any moisture in the iPod.
After the few days are up, give it another whirl. If the problem persists, connect the Nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
Otherwise, the damage may be permanent, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.

Why does my phone signal keep going down?

I installed an app called texttones and after that my signal started weakening, I had a message come up about my hardware but I don't remember what it said exactly I don't want to have to reinstall it to read the message because after installing my signal bars went from 4 to 5 to 3 and below. What could be causing this. It keeps dropping even though I'm not moving. When I hit the end button on a call it goes back to one bar, it wasn't like this before. This hasn't happened before I got this phone a few days ago. I already tried resetting network, but its still the same. What should I do?

I downloaded an app called texttones and then I tried uploading a song from my library so I chose a song, and then hit save, after that an error message came up about the hardware and the signal went down from there (as n dropped from 4 to 3 and below bars). The page for the app is gone now and has something different in its place. Maybe some adware slipped through he app store? Not sure if I got infected from the app or maybe some ad popped up and made me download it thinking it was real and not the actual app.

SG300-10MP keeps going down!!!

Hello,
We are in an organization of 80 users with 5 Sx300 series switches with the latest firmware (1.2.7.76). The network is mostly flat with all switches feeding into a Cisco ASA5505 acing as the primary gateway for Internet Access. Only our two 48 port POE switches have an additional vlan configured for the VoIP phones.
We have one SG300-10MP that is powering 5 Cisco Aironet 1024N's that keeps crashing. A couple weeks ago it went down twice in one day. I updated the firmware and it did not have any hiccups unitl today. This issue has been consistent since we installed the switch in April. Originally the issue seemed to be caused by too much bonjour traffic causing a buffer overflow (we have over 100 Apple products). Since I updated the switch I have not seen any bonjour buffer overflow errors. Instead I get the following error when it crashes:

The CPU and PoE supply are far from being overloaded. Can anyone tell me what this is and what it means? Can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem and it is extremely frusturating! Thanks in advance.

I am still experiencing random restarts. Having not heard anything lately I updated the firmware on the affected switches to
1.2.7.76, and the number of restarts seems to have increased. 2 out of 3 of the affected switches also now seem to reboot themselves in tandem.
Find log entries and *uncorresponding* uptime reports below. This is now becoming a real problem for us.

My internet keeps going down and when I try to renew the DHCP lease it stops working altogether

Every couple of weeks my internet would go down, I would be surfing the web and suddenly my connection would fail. I would try renewing my DHCP lease and every time I did I would get an IPv4 address of 192.168.0.100. Originally, restarting the router would fix the problem but the past couple of times they needed a technician from the provider to fix it. Even using the Ethernet cable doesn't work either.
is there a reason why this keeps happening and how do I stop it from happening again? Is there anything I can try to fix it on my end?
my computer is a five year old MacBook, running OS X 10.9.4

Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
Using current version IPad mini.
Ios7 is HUGH PIECE OF CRAP!!!!
