LAN DNS resolution has changed - along with lots of other behaviours

Hi
Last Friday I experienced a lot of strange network/firewall behaviour on my Macs, both running 10.6.7. I don't know what the problem is but am trying to isolate it - or them.
Considering just the MacBook Pro, I have been running the same setup for over a year at different locations and never experienced this before. The MBP is named Isola, it runs Windows XP Pro on VMWare Fusion and MAMP as a development/test environment for websites.
Since I have had this setup, with MAMP running and using the normal Apache and MySQL ports I could connect to websites using Mac browsers on: http://localhost/, if I was testing on Windows browsers I would use http://isola/
This worked at home using an Airport connection over a Netgear modem/router:
TCP/IP
Using DHCP with manual address
IPv4: 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
Configure IPv6: Automatically
DNS Servers: 192.168.0.1
Search Domains: -
It also worked at the office - 2 Macs networked using a Netgear Gigabit switch, also connected to the building's ethernet system for external internet connection:
TCP/IP
Using DHCP
IPv4: 10.0.21.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.21.254
Configure IPv6: Automatically
DNS Servers: 10.0.21.254
Search Domains: popcorn
I have two Locations set up in networking preferences, Home and Office. DHCP and DNS at home are provided by my ISP I believe. Apparently the IT infrastructure in the building where my office is located handles the DHCP and DNS.
Since last Friday when I try to connect to http://isola/ using a Windows browser the request either times out (Internet Explorer) or is re-routed to http://www.isola.com (Firefox and some other browsers). In order to the site on my MAMP server I have to use http://isola.local/
I can replicate the same behaviour when trying to connect to the MAMP server using my Mac Pro.
I have flushed both Macs' DNS caches, repaired permissions and tried other stuff which I can't quite remember now. Nothing has made any difference.
I'd really like to know if this new behaviour is likely to be caused by my configuration or the office DNS setup and ideally get it back to what it was before.
Yesterday I started experiencing strange behaviour with the MBP firewall. It may be part of the problem or not - I'll include for information. It has always been on and set up normally - none of the Advanced settings checked. There were a whole load of software listed in the Advanced tab such as Skype, Safari, Opera configured to accept incoming connections. Yesterday for the first time ever I had a whole load of firewall dialogue boxes open on start up asking to allow or block network connections to basic OS X services: AppleFileServer, cups-lpd, cupsd, httpd, krb5kdc, mysqld, nmbd, smbd, vmnet-natd. I think some of these are due to File Sharing and Printer Sharing being enabled in the Sharing Preferences - but they've been enabled for over a year.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Safari gives the error message
Safari can't open the page "[URL]" because your computer isn't connected to the Internet.
on any attempt to access a page by URL. If I put in an IP address it loads fine (aside from not being able to resolve any links to images, etc. which are linked using a domain name).
nslookup google.com on the command line gives the error:
/SourceCache/bind9/bind9-31/bind9/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:4525: bind: No route to host
nslookup: isc_socket_bind: unexpected error
DNS resolution does not work on Firefox either.
All checkboxes in the System Preferences>Network>Advanced>Proxies tab are unchecked. The box at the bottom ("Bypass proxy settings...") contains:
*.local, 169.254/16
Thanks for trying to help me out! I'm happy to provide any other information that might be useful to you.

Print Dialog box has changed along with printing function

I installed the latest update and now when I print there is a new dialog box. The problem is on a multi page job it only pulls a few pages from the paper tray and then makes me use the manual feeder for the remaing pages, All paper sizes of the print job are the same and I only have one tray. I am printing on a Brother MFC 4860N. Any solutions? Thanks

Carolyn -
Thank you for your respose of 5/1/09 -- sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
1.) I tried your suggestion, but the problem is that Apple and HP have worked to include all/most of the HP software into OS X v. 10.4.11 and beyond. I did not find in my user/.../Library/Preferences .plist files directly referencing my HP 990 Cse printer, which was the only printer not displaying the Printer Dialogue Box.
Open your User/..../Library/Preferences to see the list of .plist files for HP and other manufacturers.
The open the [top level] your-hard-drive/library/Printers/HP to see the [root=basic] files which, I believe, are the actual OS X system files which are on the original System CD or are downloaded for the updates.
2.) I finally got the Printer Dialogue Box for the HP 990 Cse to work --
a.) I ran the OS X Printer Setup Utility app.
b.) I then dragged the icon for the HP 990 Cse printer to the trash; and emptied the trasn.
c.) Restarted the OS X.
d.) Ran the OS X Printer Setup Utillity app again
e.) When the HP 990 Cse did not appear in the list of printers I clicked the "Add" icon.
f.) I selected to add the HP 990 to the Printer List
g.) Nothing happened when I tried to access the HP 990 Printer Dialogue Box.
h.) I did a restart.
i.) I then did a print job using the HP 990.
j.) When the HP 990 icon appeared at the right end of the dock, next to the trash, I grabbed it and dragged it to the place in the dock where I wanted it to reside.
IT WORKS JUST GREAT NOW !!!!
Thanks for your help, as you helped me consider the problem at a deeper level.

Can not attach documents or files to email along with lots of other problems

I can not attach any files or documents to an email. I am working on a Mac OS10.4. Have tried doing the F9 button as suggested in the help section and it totally froze my computer up to the point of having to unplug it and start my whole computer up. Also we can not finishing downloading Firefox 3.6.13

Services-config.xml has changed quite a lot in CF9

I've noticed that the services-config.xml has changed quite a lot in CF9
I can't see
   <destination id="ColdFusion">

So I wonder how my flex apps still work with code like this:
<mx:RemoteObject id="myService" destination="ColdFusion"

Ah I see they've included it in a seperate file:

Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

DBMS_CDC find only the columns that are changed along with the primary key in the table

Hello,
We are having a requirement to find the change data in the production environment.
We are planning to use the DBMS_CDC utility.
But for example in the create change table 1 picked emp_id,ename, address, salary,dob.
I have a sample data of
empid
ename
address
salary
DOB
1
test1
24 test street
2000
20-Jan-98
2
test2
25 test street
2500
15-Aug-97
if ename for empid 1 is changed to test1_test3 from test1.
My CDC is capturing the values in the old and new values in the 5 columns.
But i need to get only the empid (primary key of the source table) and the ename column as only that's been updated not the rest of the 3 columns.
Can i accomplish this.
Please advice.

Hello,
Thanks for the information.
but if i change the change table then i will miss the other columns right?
I want to get the columns( empid and ename) only if ename is changed. i.e when ever any column in emp table changes i need to get all the columns where the data is changed along with the primary key columns empid.
Is there any way i can tweak the parameters so that i can achieve this or is there any other way using the cdc i can get this data.
Thanks

please help me how could i write query to get lot no along with supplier name.
total no of rows is 7.but while adding supplier name it compare item code and executes 28 rows.
regards

Hi Ishika,
Also check your Joins.
May be you are missing something else.
Thatz the reason all the four supplier combination are repeated.
Go through ur joins again.
Don't forget to use any number column as nvl(nu_balance_qty,0).

TS4083 Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

Is that behavior has changed along ios8 ? Or still you need to launch mail app to update unread emails ?

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

DNS-resolution doesn't work with VPN

Hello,
I setup a l2tp vpn connection in the iPhone and nearly all works perfectly. But the most important part doesn't work: The DNS-resolution after connecting to the VPN.
It's possible to send pings over the 'ping'-App and I also can ping the iPhone from the network. Safari also works with IP-Adresses. But when I try to use a hostname the resolution fails. Equally for internal and external addresses.
On my MacBook Pro the VPN works and Mac OS is able to resolv hostnames. So the server should be alright.
So I think there is a bug in the resolver-part of iPhone OS. Please fix this Apple.
Kind regards,
lord-of-linux

Thanks for your hint to send this as a bug report. But today I had time and continued testing and changed some settings of my l2tp-Server and now I's working fine. I don't know where I had the mistake, but it seems that it was my fault.
Now the only problem I have to solve is access over NAT, but this is not iPhone specific.

How to send a "Message" that has text along with a photo

I take a photo with my iPhone5.
I want to send both the photo and a brief message along with it.
I touch the little arrow in the lower left hand side.
If I select "Message" there does not appear to be any way to enter even a minimal amount of text.
I know that I can "Email" it but this seems overkill.
How can I send a "Message" that contains both a photo and text?
Thank you.

After selecting Message, you should see the pic in a white message box. Just tap the screen in the box under the message.

Clefs in different places change along with selected!

Logic has been acting up but now when I start a new orchestral score and want to assign an alto clef to the viola track-the bass track changes to alto as well. Any ideas? only the viola track is green=selected, could there be something in the mixer that joins the two together?
Message was edited by: 55plus

Hi
You can change the clef assigned to a Staff Style in "Layout:Staff Styles".
You can add clef changes directly in the score using the different clef signs available in the part box. Drag and drop, pencil tool etc all work here.

SoundTrack Pro 2.0.2 has bugs along with AUL

Does anyone know if Apple will be releasing a new update for SoundTrack Pro? A few things that I am encountering.
-I CANNOT export a audio file from FCP to STP. I've done everything including reinstalling a clean install of the software but I am still not able to send a file to FCP. What occurs is that the file is sent and STP opens up but that **** beach ball just spins and spins and I have to close down because "APPLICATION NOT RESPONDING". pure frustration.
- I also use Logic Studio 8 and everything works there just fine. What I've noticed is that If I open STP Independently and choose an audio file to place on the timeline I get nothing but a "SCRATCHY" return. I've made sure that all things related were either connected or programmed right as far as input and output of my speaker system and Ultralite Motu Interface. I also happen to notice too that Apple's Utility Loop player does the exact same thing. I've done all the updates and I am still having problems. Does anyone know about any of this? Please let me know because I am completely disgusted and frustrated.

DISREGARD POST PROBLEM SOLVED.
DISCOVERED A PLUG THAT WAS CONNECTED TO MY AUDIO CONNECTION IN THE BACK OF MY COMPUTER WAS DISCONNECTED. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK. WOW, A LITTLE PLUG CREATED THIS ENTIRE MESS. ABLE TO SEND FILES TO FCP TO STP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER RE-CONNECTING THE PLUG AND RESTARTING MY COMPUTER EVERYTHING IS A-OK. SORRY,

My online form that I created has disappeared along with all of its submitted responses?

We created a form for my work and set it up online for responses. I have been accessing it off and on now for a couple weeks. Now all of a sudden it has just disappeared!?!@? Any thoughts on why or how?
Thanks,
Jenn

We had a service outage for parts of Wednesday and most of Thursday. Could you please try to access your form again? I was able to look up your account and it shows that the form is there (Professional Development Consultant Bio) and that you have 20+ people that have submitted data. Is this the correct form? Are you using account [email protected]?

I recently used 'force quit applications' to close something and after in the dock its normal icon was replaced with a pen and paper along with lots of my other applications. I can't open them either. How can i fix this??

.

staylodj,
In the finder window menu bar click GO and go to folder type ~/Library/Preferences hit go andscroll down and look for com.apple.dock.plist and drag it to the trash. Reboot, if it back to normal empty the trash. If no joy use the same path and find com.apple.dock.db drag that to the trash, reboot.
Alternatly you can click on GO while holding the option key and click on Library then preferences and look for the above file.
Hope this helps

BUG: Changing "alpha" with AS breaks other property changes on timeline

I've discovered a bug in AS3 where a Movie Clip that spans 2 different frames, but its properties are different in each frame (i.e. it has been repositioned on the 2nd frame but the instance name is the same), and the MC's alpha is changed using ActionScript prior to moving the timeline from one frame to the other, the timeline moves, but the MC does NOT actually move.
I'm experiencing this error in a professional project that I'm working on so I cannot post the actual FLA, but here is a little mock up that I made:
stop()
currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
var alphaChange:Number = .1
var alphaMax:Number = 1
var alphaMin:Number = 0
alphaUpBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alphaUp)
function alphaUp(evt:MouseEvent) {
    box.alpha += alphaChange
    if (box.alpha > alphaMax) {
        box.alpha = alphaMax
alphaDownBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alphaDown)
function alphaDown(evt:MouseEvent) {
    box.alpha -= alphaChange
    if (box.alpha < alphaMin) {
        box.alpha = alphaMin
leftBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoLeft)
function gotoLeft(evt:MouseEvent) {
    if (currentLabel != "left") {
        gotoAndStop("left")
    currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
rightBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoRight)
function gotoRight(evt:MouseEvent) {
    if (currentLabel != "right") {
        gotoAndStop("right")
    currentFrameTxt.text = currentLabel
On Frame 1 (labeled "left") is an MC with the instance name "box" and the box's position is on the left side of the stage. On Frame 11 (labeled "right") is the same instance "box", but its position has been moved to the right side of the stage.
I have a pair of buttons ('leftBtn" and "rightBtn") that toggle the timeline between the "left" frame and the "right" frame.
I also have a pair of buttons ("alphaUpBtn" and "alphaDownBtn") that change the box's "alpha" property.
If you click "leftBtn" or "rightBtn" before you click the "alphaUp" or "alphaDown" buttons, the box moves left or right as one would expect. BUT if you click either "alphaUpBtn" or "alphaDownBtn", the box does NOT move if you then click "leftBtn" or "rightBtn" even though the timeline is indeed moving (which I am confirming using the "currentFrameTxt" dynamic text box).
I have tried this example by changing other properties on the 2 frames and they too stop working once you change the "alpha" using AS. I have also tried change other propeties using AS, but alpha is the only property to breaks the other properties changed by moving the timeline.
Why would changing the "alpha" property suddenly break all other property changes on the timeline?
Now I know that one work-around for this bug is to simply change the box's position dynamically by setting the x and y positions, but this is NOT an option for this project because it is very important that the client be able to manually position the artwork on each frame by hand.
This is a serious bug and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered it before and if they know of a viable workaround.

I did some more testing by changing other properties of the box with AS and it appears that for most properties, like alpha, x, y, rotation, width, height, etc, if they are changed with AS, then the properties of the MC can no longer be changed by the timeline settings. Changing the "visible" property has no effect, however.
It seems that this "bug" is not really bug so much as it is a fundamental misunderstanding on my part about the fact that you CANNOT change the properties of a symbol using BOTH ActionScript and timeline properties. I can only change the properties of using either the timeline OR ActionScript because as soon as I change the properties using AS, the MC becomes an AS-controlled object and can no longer be controlled via the timeline. I guess that makes sense, but it is frustrating nonetheless.
Colin, your suggestion to nest the MC inside another MC is indeed a successful workaround, at least for this little box example (see fixed FLA attached with the "left" and "right" timeline property changes nested inside the box itself) and I will see if it is a viable solution for my actual application. I'm guessing it will not be a problem for my client to simply navigate inside a parent MC in order to adjust the positions of the now-nested MC in question.
Thanks for the help.
