Leopard looses my connection to my NAS once a day

I have a nas hooked up to my network which I am using to host my itunes library. On average of once a day it will loose my connection to it. I can still see it in my sidebar but when i click on it, it shows the status as "connecting" and never reconnects. I then restart and it works fine again for another day or so. It works just fine on my windows box so it is not a problem with the nas. Any ideas or fixes?

When you notice it doing this, BEFORE you try to connect back up to it:
Open Terminal
netstat -an | grep -i x.x.x.x
Replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of your NAS.
See if you have any connections open to it and note their state.
Try to connect. While it is hanging, run the netstat command a few more times and check if you can see connections getting opened.
After all this (when I suspect it fails until you reboot as you mentioned), try doing a ping to the NAS and see if it responds. If it does, try connecting again.
Please post your results and we'll go from there...

Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) - All network connections fail at least once a day

Hi,
We have Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) running, with the MSI 3.2 installed as well.
At least once a day my computer stops making network connections (Outlook gets disconnected, Internet Explorer cannot connect to Google, Chrome also fails). When I shut down and restart Jabber all network IO resumes.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
I've made two problem reports for this. Is anyone interested?
Regards,
Erik Tamminga
PS. Server side we're running all 9.1 versions.

We had the same issue and logged a TAC case, and the final result was to uninstall media services as mentioned above. Obviously now you no longer have desk phone video.
The new 9.2 beta has a new media service version, and the rollout of the new 9.2 client is mid march I believe, so hopefully this rectifies the problems, because if it doesn't I think this would not be a good thing for Jabber as a product unfortunately.
Cheers

EA6500 Loosing internet connection

Hi there
Last try before I send this piece of junk back to the dealer, and NEVER recommend Linksys again...
I have what appears to be a EA6500 model 1, it often looses internet connection. Sometimes there will be days in between, sometimes not. I usually cycle the power and leave it be for 10 minutes, and then it works againg. Also sometimes I need to reapply the latest patch - which is very old by now...
Any ideas, or should I just give up? I have tried most things now, except writing here, so you guys are my last resort!

Hi pkk888. Have you checked your internet connection directly to your modem? If yes, what IP address are your getting behind the modem?

Mac Mini Late 2012 OS X 10.9.4 loosing network connectivity

I haven't found the exact issue on the forums nor outside it so I'm creating a new thread.
My Late 2012 Mini started loosing network connectivity after upgrading to 10.9.4, both WiFi and Ethernet.
Sometimes it takes around 5 minutes, sometimes more than 30 but the connectivity gets disrupted continuously, the packets stop going in or out for around 30 seconds. I've done PRAM and SMC resets, I've changed network locations, nothing helps and I've found nothing interesting in the system logs.
Also I can't login to the Apple bugtracker due to some error so I'm reporting it here.
The only USB devices i have connected are keyboard and mouse.
Any help will be appreciated.
Mac Mini Late 2012 i5

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT4628 iMac looses wifi connection

My iMac (OS 10.8.5) looses wifi connection every once in a while. I go to Network Diagnostics, press all those Continue buttons, at some point it sais "Your Internet connection appears to be working correctly" and the Internet connection is being restored right at this moment. It can happen 2 or 3 times a day or may not happen for weeks. I have seen this with three different routers, moreover, I had this problem in a different place with a different iMac (OS 10.6 again with different routers). Its annoing. May be there is some simple thing I just don't know? Thank you.

Perfect it has been working fine ever since you posted the update 3 months ago. UNTIL to day i am having the same problem my imac randomly disconnected from the internet while i was watching youtube. when i went to the wifi icon in the top bar it searched and nothing! logging in/out doesnt help the only fix is to restart any advice?

RE1000 keeps loosing internet connection

I recently bought the RE1000 extender to improve our network at home.
I'm using the Linksys WRT610N router and Linksys WUSB600N adapters to connect, no encryption or mac filter.
My problem is that the RE1000 extender keeps loosing internet connection, the computers are still connected to the extender with full signal strength but no internet (Network magic icon with red X).
If I disconnect/connect to the wireless network when this happens the computer will connect to the router with only one bar strength.
To fix the problem I must restart the extender, then it works for a couple of days again before internet is lost again.

As you mentioned in your post that if you connect the computer with the router's network it connects with one bar but does it go online? If yes then connect the RE1000 from the Router and check the DHCP client table it will show the RE1000 IP address and then configure the RE1000 again… Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000…
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3760&userrole=Linksy...
Wireless settings in RE1000 will be same as router… In order to get the best performance from an RE1000 you need to place the extender in an area where you still have at least 50% signal strength to your router when you place it in the final location where the RE1000 will be used. Once after the configuration of the RE1000 try to connect the wireless laptop and check the connectivity…
Secondly in the DHCP client table the client name shows up with the Device name and not the Wireless Network Name…

Hi, I did have the same problem, so I did upgrade the firmware (same version). Now the internet line has been up and running three days without problems. Earlier I need to power off/power on the modem once a day.

LEOPARD has some strange problems Printing, NAS

Hi, I've just upgraded my MacBook to Leopard and now have a few problems I think are related to the way Leopard handles it's network connections. I'm no expert in OS X so if anyone has solved these problems assume I'm a novice.
Before the upgrade I could connect to my NAS and IP printer (my Tiger MacMini and Vista - sorry - box can still connect fine). After the install, the printer settings were lost and I cannot for the life of me get Leopard to print. The printer (HP Deskjet 895) is connected via USB to my Draytek 2800VG router and the usual way to connect are via the router IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,p1 (the p1 allows the router to send the"files" to the printer). This works fine using GIMP in Tiger and works with no problems in MS Vista (more of a surprise).
Possibly related is the fact I can't connect to the NAS also connected to the router - same problems, without solution, in the rest of the forum. Vista and Tiger have no problems, Leopard connects but you can't see any files - I've also tried most of the forum and Google search suggestions.
APPLE - will you be fixing this? I'm thinking of downgrading to Tiger and won't be upgrading the Mini until this is fixed.

You have to have "Push" messages turned on. Settings>Notification Center> scroll down to iMessage and set the kind of Alert, etc. that you want. There is also a Turn off in lock screen switch that may be turned to off.

Apple tv keeps loosing the connection with the mac

Purchased a new desktop mac, time machine and an apple tv. everything is working splendid however the the apple tv seems to keep loosing the connection with the computer. As I sit here i see its no longer listed on the i tunes as a device, I seem to have to reset to the factory defaults again and re install it. I hope I am wrong and I am missing a step and its there and maybe I just don't know how to access it, So here I am posting this to all, Help.... I will be the first to admit I really am a little lost with this apple tv
thanks you everyone

I have the same problem as you do. i have had my apple tv for about 2 years now. I connect my apple tv to my iMac, via wifi by airport extreme. i used to before connect via ethernet cable to my airport extreme, i still had the same problem as you do. that itunes losses the apple tv. yet, from apple tv i can still access the internet. i have gone through all my settings on my airport, they are all correct. the connection only seems to last a few days then, it just losses connection. i have asked this question before, but now one was able to help. Apple is not interested because apple tv is just a pet project to them. you do not have to rest the apple tv every time, you just need to go to the options menu and select the connected computers and tell it to delete connection to your computer. once it has done that, make a new connection to your computer on itunes put in the new passcode and set up which films etc you want to be sync. We should not have to do this every few days. Apple needs to sort this out or at least lets us know how to stop this.

ATV looses network connection if PC reboots or iTunes closes and reopens.

ATV looses network connection upon iTunes closing (i.e computer turning off or going to sleep.) I'm then required to re-input the network password (p.i.t.a.) every time I come home from work, or the power surges, or iTunes closes, etc.
Thoughts?

Hi Lucy,
To address the suggestions you made:
There's too much code, performance needs to be
improved. - Does anybody know of useful utilities to monitor cpu
performance as a sort of watch dog.
There is a software package called the Execution Trace Toolkit you can use to monitor the performance of your Real Time applications. If you have access to this software through a developer suite or a site license it would be worth installing that.
If not there are a number of other things you can try first.
The network or vi server is shutting down - Again, I'd appreciate some help on how to monitor this.
To determine if the problem is caused by the network you should connect to the cRIO with a cross over cable and see if you see the same behaviour. This will help determine if the problem is down to the network or the cRIO system.
Once you've isolated the source of the problem (ie the crio or the network) we can investigate the cause and hopefully come up with a resolution.
Kind regards

I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives? So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

How do I connect my Synology NAS to my AirPort Extreme base station?

I'm considering replacing an Apple AirPort Extreme base station with my current 5 year old router. I would appreciate if someone could tell me how the AirPort Extreme differs from any regular router. I do not have any OS X devices, but I have a lot of iOS devices. If my understanding is correct, I can set up the AirPort from an iOS device.
Also, I need to know how I would connect my Synology NAS system to the AirPort Extreme network via an Ethernet cable. I would need to be able to acces the files on the NAS through Windows clients. My Synology NAS currently has a web interface....would I still be able to access that web interface with the AirPort?
Thanks for all your help in advance as I am VERY new with networking devices.

I would appreciate if someone could tell me how the AirPort Extreme differs from any regular router.
The AirPort Extreme is a combination router, wireless access point, and Ethernet switch. It also provides both external USB hard drive and printer sharing. So, it is not much different than most other routers on the market today. The one main difference is how you administer it. Unlike most other routers that employ a web-based administration interface, the AirPorts use a dedicated utility, called the AirPort Utility.
I do not have any OS X devices, but I have a lot of iOS devices. If my understanding is correct, I can set up the AirPort from an iOS device.
Yes. There are versions of the AirPort Utility for OS X, Windows, or iOS devices.
Also, I need to know how I would connect my Synology NAS system to the AirPort Extreme network via an Ethernet cable. I would need to be able to acces the files on the NAS through Windows clients. My Synology NAS currently has a web interface....would I still be able to access that web interface with the AirPort?
Your Synology NAS would connect to the AirPort Extreme pretty much the same as for any other manufacturer's routers. That is, you would connect it to one of the available LAN (opposing arrows) ports on the Extreme. You would still use the same web-based interface as before.
Note: When connected to an Ethernet port, the NAS would still function as usual. The AirPort Extreme would not provide any file sharing functionality when connected in this manner. All file sharing features would be the responsibility of the NAS device.

Time Capsule flashes amber and loses connection at least once a day

Hello,
I got my Time Capsule a month ago. I had an old one from 2008 which I gave to a friend, so it was time to upgrade. I have no idea what's going on, but the Time Capsule flashes amber and I lose my Internet connection at least once a day, sometimes two or three times within a few hours.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any idea how to fix it?
If it matters, I'm on a mid-2010 MBP running OS X 10.8.5.
Thanks!

You and everyone else.

It is not stable firmware.. or has issues .. with some modems.. or is just faulty.. pick one or two choices.
There is no fix because this is really a bug.

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!
