Livemerge plugin and connection issue.

I'm am considering the livemerge plugin for a lengthy catalog project, so I'm trying to generate a sample file that dynamically updates a small IND file to present to my client.
At this time I can't get a database connection- even to the mysql provided with the demo.
I'm hoping to connect with someone who has used this.
I'm thinking that I possibly need some kind of outside software on my mac to make the connection to the database?

There's a test socket in there when you unscrew the faceplate. If you connect the modem to the test socket and you still get disconnections, then you probably have a line fault which will require an engineer to fix....
unless the disconnections are simply wireless that could be due to wifi interference, of course.

Fed up with speed and connection issues since exch...

Last Monday BT done some upgrade work at our local exchange. From that point onwards we have had speed and connection issues.
I use a Belkin G Router rather that the Homehub some that we can run a printer through it and that is plugged in to telephone socket via an extension. But before we blame any of that we have gone back to the Homehub2 so we could see the difference and there is very little.
We live in the countrside so broadband speeds are not great in any case. About 1.8 mg I guess but we have always had no problems. It was good enough for us and we could watch Iplayer.
I was getting fed up with drop outs and speed and yestereday an Openreach guy came out tested everything could not find any problems apart from speed. He made some calls and was told our band width had been capped. He had that removed and yesterday evening speed was a bit better.
Today just as bad again.

Connection doctor and connection issues

I have nothing blocking my internet connection, however mail is a nightmare for me. I continually receive connection issues via the connection doctor for imaps, pops, and icloud.
Are my settings wrong? I have checked with each of the settings and they are set per instructions provided. Some are google, some yahoo, icloud, etc.
This is really annoying and I could really use some help.
Here is a typical message: Could not connect to this Google IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account Preference"
I have done all of this and am still having troubles.
I am also receiving SMTP connection issues - "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verufy that the username and password are correct."
I have checked and all are correct. Even more confusing, these issues are not present all the time - however I have not changed anything between when times are good and bad.
Sigh - I hope someone has an idea to help me out.
Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

Having trouble with social networks and connection issues

My iPad won't load any pictures on facebooks website, or the app. It will load google pictures but on Facebook they come up as a blue question mark and it also won't let me log into intagram or snapchat, it says check your network connection. Also my app store won't load. Is there anyway to fix this? I restarted my iPad multiple times and cleared all cookies and data but it didn't help. I had a provisioning profile from an GBA emulator awhile back and I deleted the emulator but not the profile. I recently tried to download the emulator again and this is when problems started. I deleted the profile but nothing seems to work. I have an IPad 2, is there anyway to fix this without going to Apple? I'm not good with all this tech stuff

Range and connection issues with new WRT400N

I'm having two major problems with my brand new WRT400n. The router is located in the basement and wired to my seven-year-old desktop. Dependent on the router are three laptops located two floors above it.
My first issue is the weaker-than-expected signal strength that my laptop is receiving from the router. The best signals I'm getting for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz configurations are "Good" and "Poor", respectively, which is below the maximum rating of "Excellent". Even when I bring my laptop right beside the router, I'm struggling to achieve an "Excellent" signal strength. The speed and connection are otherwise fine but my neighbor's G router is registering an "Excellent" signal. So for a brand new N router to give weak signals is quite irritating.
The second issue is reliability. I'm consistently losing connection - both wired and wirelessly - every hour. The connection and speed are fine the rest of the time (very quick and stable) but every 60 minutes or so I am forced to reconnect my laptop to get the signal
Any possible solutions to these two common problems? Perhaps some tinkering with the router settings? Any recommendations are welcome and much appreciated.
How does the warranty return policy for Linksys work? If the hardware is to blame how can I send my WRT400N to Linksys? Will Linksys send me a new item?
Much thanks in advance.

I'm in Canada so I have a WRT400N-CA made by Cisco, which may have minute differences with the original model.
Basic Wireless Settings
Configuration View: Manual
5GHz Wireless Settings
Network Mode: Mixed
Channel Width: 40/20MHz
Wide Channel: 159
Standard Channel: 161 - 5.805GHz
SSID Broadcast: Enabled
2.4GHz Wireless Settings

Also, under the "Advanced Wireless Settings" tab, the 5GHz titles Beacon Interval, DTIM Interval, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS Threshold have been changed to 75, 1, 2304, 2307, respectively. The 2.4GHz section has been untouched since installation of the router. Basically I searched for settings configurations on this forum and plugged in the values. My connection is slightly more reliable after using these values and installing the firmware; instead the connection dropping once every hour it drops every few hours. I always have to disconnect and re-connect my laptop connection before I can start surfing the web.

Webdynpro ABAP/Portal. Plugin HTTP connection issue on WaitingEventQueue.js

Hello,
We are experiencing a strange Portal Behavior with our Webdynpros. Our portal contains several iViews including some Webdynpro (ABAP) and some reporting transaction calls that use SAPgui for HTML.
When portal is called for the first time and a user logs in, two connections of type RFC can be seen for that user in SM04 in our ERP system. All iViews work as expected. For example, calling the Time Management webdynpro closes one of the RFC connections and starts a new Pluguin HTTP connection. We can go back and forth between the welcome page and this Webdynpro with no issues.
If we then select one of the reporting transaction codes, the portal launches the SAPGUI for HTML. Report retrieves and shows data, and then we close using the "Exit" button provided by the sapgui for HTML
Next we try again to launch any webdynpro (abap), but SM04 shows that the new Plugin HTTP session gets stuck and spinning mid way, and will stay there. Refreshing the Portal screen with F8, navigating back and forth, logging off and on again has no effect. The webdynpros will not launch again. Only webdynpros are affected, any of the reporting transactions can be called successfully over and over.
We have figured that deleting Temporary Internet files (we are using IE 7), and in particular by just deleting the WaitingEventQueue.js?XXXXXXXXXXX file, the system will break away from the spin loop and show the webdynpro again, but eventually it will get stuck again, and asking the users to delete their Temporary Internet Files every 5 minutes is not a workable solution
I have reviewed the contents of this javascript file at different points during the test, and the contents do not change, so deleting the file and the recreate process must be resetting somehow the queue and allowing for a new correct communication.
Is there a way to properly reset this event queue (for example from ABAP, when the webdynpros are reloaded) in order to avoid the spin loop?
Thanks for any help!
Andres

Well, we got the issue resolved, so here is what we did, in case anybody is interested:
Tested again our portal with multiple versions of Internet Explorer, in particular IE8 and IE6, the Webdynpro behavior was normal (no timeouts or locks). It even worked when we installed IE7 in a brand new machine and tried our portal.
So we started suspecting if maybe the particular IE7 that we install internally (with specific settings and policies) may be the culprit. We took a desktop that was producing the timeouts and used the following options in IE7:
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced(tab)-Reset Internet Explorer settings
and, voila! the next time we ran there, the portal did not create any timeouts.
We even asked our desktop support team to uninstall and reinstall IE7 in the same machine after we did the reset, and even after the re-install that the timeout problems did not re-appear.
One of the things that the "reset" option does is delete the Add-ons used by IE.
So as a last test, we took a machine that was presenting the problem and went to the Internet Options to disable all the add-ons (in the Programs Tab). The error disappeared.
And even after enabling back all the add-ons, the error would not return.
Conclusion:
Without being able to pinpoint the specific add-on (or combination) that causes the problem, we suspect that some of them conflicted, causing IE7 to behave abnormally. Disabling them all, restarting Internet Explorer, and enabling them again, makes the WaitingEventQueue.js work as it should

Found a fix for iTunes 10.6.1 store and connection issues

Been having trouble for months not being able to connect to the store and then after the most recent update couldn't even connect to the internet to import a physical CD (wouldn't connect to Gracenotes), import purchases I made on my phone or even to check for iTunes updaes. After reading some other posts about the winsocket concerns I ran a diagnostic and found a real player file called speedster used to enhance download speed using the winsocket. I just uninstalled realplayer (I did have real player plus btw) and BAM all issues with iTunes were fixed. Opened iTunes, store loaded and all my purchases from my iphone and ipod touch started downloading. Simple, but ridiculous it caused that much trouble and not been an update to fix it yet seeing months of problems out there.

Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

DVI Out Flicker and connection issues- Macbook Pro 2006

No matter which monitors/cable combination I use, my external display flickers at random times. Sometimes, the signal will come back a second or two later, other times it will go out until a reboot.
From my unofficial "tests", this happens more (but not always, and never consistently) when...
* I am doing anything demanding like video or flash
* When I have an expresscard in the slot
Hardware Notes:
* 1st gen Macbook Pro 2.0ghz (ati 256mb)
* 10.6.3 - I don't know if this started happening on a particular release. I think it still happened in 10.5
* DVI to DVI connection. Tried on two monitors with different DVI cables (even the ones from monoprice)
* I use the external monitor as my main device (always have for 4 years
I can't find any threads on this particular issue, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help!

I'm exactly on the same issue. Have you found a solution ?

CS6 Reinstall Forgot Illustrator Plugins and other issues...

I recently had problems with the memory in my machine (Windows 7, 64-bit) and had to replace it. Somehow that messed up my licensing with my Adobe products (don't ask me why, we're completly stumped). Anyway, I unistalled and reinstalled CS6 and am having all sorts of fun issues. The big one is that somehow the plugins in Illustrator for drop shadow, inner glow and a few others didn't get installed? Others did. What gives? There wasn't an error or anything amiss in the install. How do I find out what was missed, and how do I get those back?
Also, Adobe now somehow isn't able to register in it's system that CS6 is already licensed. I've had to re in-put my license like 20 times, it keeps asking me if I want to continue the trial. Something was hosed, but I am not sure how to resolve it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I actually was working with an Adobe Rep with the reinstall...they did all the pieces and I sat there and watched. They didn't mention the cleaner tool at all, and the install "seems" to have run smoothly. That's what bothers me...no errors came up at all. If it wasn't able to properly install something, shouldn't it have given me an error report?
I have been assured by Micorsoft, Dell and our IT staff that replacing the memory in the machine should not have affected this at all. Hence my frustration, no one seems to know why this happened.
I may just try to uninstall and reinstall on my own again, and I will run the cleaner tool in between...this is not great for my productivity. I have had more issues with this version of CS than any of it's predecessors. *sigh...*
Thanks anyway...

Apps crashing and connectivity issues with 8.3

Has anyone else been experiencing these issues after updating to 8.3?
- Multiple apps crashing upon startup of the app (according to release notes it was supposed to improve this but made it worse)
- intermittent Bluetooth connectivity when playing music via Bluetooth in a vehicle
- Touch ID intermittently working in app store
I made the switch back to Apple and am regretting it immensely. They put out numerous betas of this update before release and still couldn't get it right. They make millions but seems they need to invest in software engineers more than watch designers that are just imitating what's already been out. So much for innovation. Please get this fixed ASAP

Same here, I have an iPhone 6. After updating to 8.3 the phone started to lag, the battery consumption went crazy, the phone started to overheat and the games started to stutter and freeze for short periods of time. From what I've read on the internet this update is good for 5s or lower models but for 6 and 6+ it's a lot worse. This is unacceptable since Apple has only 5 phone models compatible with iOS 8 and they have all the resources and time to make the things bette.

Z1 compact touch screen and connectivity issues

Hi,
I bought a new Z1 compact in Feb 2014, I encountered issues that tool bar on the top moved up and down automatically and movely very fast on the first day, also, the new device auto turned on wifi, bluetooth then disconnected 3G connectivity (default) then the screen started to pop up different screens.
The vendor where i purchased replaced brand new device to me, but so far, it has been the 3rd brand new Z1 compact device and I continued encountering the above issues again and again that I would appreciate to obtain direct support from SONY rather than endless change to new device but same issues are still there.
I recorded those abnormal screen shots, if necessary, i can upload those issues for your easy reference and check further.
looking forward to your solution and advice.

Droid X E-Mail, Re-Starting, and Connection Issues

Hello. I have had my Droid X for a few months now and I haven't had any problems until recently. About two days ago, I stopped receiving e-mails. I have tried to remove the account and re-add it, but so far nothing has worked. I get about 30 e-mails a day, and not a single one has come through.
Also, my phone seems to be re-booting itself. I do not constantly use it, so it may be doing it more than I notice. Sometimes if I just leave the phone sit and walk away, when I come back it is re-booting. In looking through these forums, this looks like a common problem for many people.
I also am having a difficult time with connection. If I have blue 3G, the phone still does not seem to work right (text messages fail to send), and the white is very slow. I also have a hard time getting any arrows at all under the 3G symbol. I do not know if this is a phone issue or simply a service issue.
I do not know what an advanced task killer is, but I am guessing it is an app (I perused the forums to see if I could find an answer before posting). I do not have it installed, so I know that it can't be what is causing my issues.
If anyone can help me with anything, I would be very appreciative. Thank you!

So many quesitons, so little time ... lol ... (PS - Best to enter separate threads for separate issues. You'll likely get fast/better responses / help. )

Try removing the account, the perform the CLEAR CACHE procedure, then set up your account again.
Power off
Power On Holding Home Key
When Andy with Exlamation Point Shows up Press BOTH Volume keys
Use Volume Keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and tap power button to select
Wait for it to finish and select reboot system

Not sure if this is "common" or not - just that people come to this forum when they DO have problems. Likely that there are many more people NOT having this issue. Self re-booting is *usually* caused by a rogue APP. At least that has been my own experieince. I haven't had an unexpected self-reboot in months. Others will likely say it is a GB issue. So how to try to solve? If it happens many times throughout the day, you could try running in SAFE MODE for an extended period of time to see if the problem goes away. If it DOES go away, you most likley have a bad APP causing your grief. At that point it's time to start uninstalling APPS until the problem goes away. To begin, see if that CLEAR CAHCE procedure has any positive impact on the problem. Another approach would be to just do a Factory Reset. Many people have had great success by doing this procedure after receiving GB. Use Search up above for both of those procedures - or yell if you can't find the procedures.
I also am having a difficult time with connection. If I have blue 3G, the phone still does not seem to work right (text messages fail to send), and the white is very slow. I also have a hard time getting any arrows at all under the 3G symbol. I do not know if this is a phone issue or simply a service issue.
Blue means it has a connection of some sort -- it may not be a STRONG connection, but you're in communication with a cell tower. White means you lost that connection. If you're bouncing between Blue & White , you're having communication issues. Have you done the *228 option #2 thing to update your PRL? Some suggest doing that once a month. There are also free APPs out there that give you more meaningful information for how good a signal you have. I use one called "OpenSignal". When I'm having trouble with data or signal strength, I launch it to see what IT tells me.
I do not know what an advanced task killer is, but I am guessing it is an app (I perused the forums to see if I could find an answer before posting). I do not have it installed, so I know that it can't be what is causing my issues.
If anyone can help me with anything,
There are 2 camps on ATK. Some use them, others (Me) do not. The operating system is designed to self-manage it's memory & apps. These ATK's take some customization and if done wrong, you'll just make matters worse. Best to trouble-shoot the phone (the aforementioned steps) and try to get it to settloe down first, IMHO. You can Search here in the forum for those discussions on ATK.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Slow speedes and connection issues within home net...

Hi.
I have the black home hub and the white modem... So it's not the latest equipmet. I have to restart the router a couple of times a day due to the following problems......
Slow connection to the Internet and unable to play video etc.
Also I'm unable to locate my Apple TV for AirPlay as well as locate my chromecast.
I've not done any real testing apart check the wifi channels in this area and the channel I use seems the be the best option.
I'm assuming there is a problem with the BT hub, as when I reset it my iPads find the Apple TV when the BT hub has been restarted. My chromecast then also works a bit better and general web browsing may work a little better for a while.
It looks like my BT Hub is slowing my LAN down as connection is not being made to the Chromecase or the Apple TV is not found.
What do I need to do now? Can I have one of the new BT Hubs please?
Thanks,
Ian.

Hi Ian_watson
Thanks for posting, that does sound like a wireless problem as restarting the hub refreshes the wireless channel but this is not recommended as the restarts may cause DLM to think there is a fault on your connection and slow it down.
Have you tried manually changing the channel and switching off smart set up in the hub manager to see if this helps?
Alternatively if you need to refresh the wireless channel try these steps instead of restarting the hub.
Enter http://bthomehub.home in your web browser
If this is the first time you have visited the Hub Manager you'll be asked to change the password.
Click on Settings and enter your password if required.
Click on Wireless.
In the Wireless Channel section click on Refresh.
The Hub will check the wireless channels and after about a minute will have chosen the best one.
Thanks
Neil

My observations ( for people that have indexing and connection issues )

Since cisco takes an awful lot of time doing anything about these problems i decided to investigate the box myself today.
I followed advice from various threads and did some digging aroudn with network traffic snoopers and some other tools.
First ( and this is buried somewhere deep in the documentation ) you can NOT have ANY file or folder name that is longer than 32 characters. This is a limitation of the stupid linux they are running on ! If you have a file with longer name or foldername it may screw up the indexing.
Second : file and path names can only have alphanumerical characters and numbers and spaces in them. DO NOT USE ANY other character. it messes up the indexing I had folders named -= folder 1 =-. they never got indexed. as soon as i removed teh -= and =- the indexing kicked in .... This is again a twonkyvision / loonix problem
The box has tremendous problems with ghost devices on the network. I have on my network at home : 4 pc's running XP ( some pro some home edition ) 2 laptops with Vista. One box with Win7. One Windows home Server. One linksys Skype phone , One Roku soundbridge, one Dlink DNS323 , one ADS network drive , one Simpletech Simplestor , A HP color laserjet , a Hp 6250 , 7650 and some other HP network printer. Thru the wireless link my PDA ( iPaq) and iPhone connect once in a while too. My blu ray player is also hooked up (netflix streaming). And then there are various experimental systems ( i am an electronics engineer and i have built some gadgets that are network connected that allow me to remotely turn on lights monitor temperature etc. )
Now , the NMH does not detect correctly most of the devices. It keeps on trying to feed information to the printers ... it also tries feeding information to other NAS devices as well as to the Windows Homeserver ... It falsely identifies one of the printers as a dlink ethernet connected dvd player ...
It also has problems with devices that use static ip addresses on the network ( i set up the printers and other NAS devices with hardcoded ip addresses. so no dhcp )
So here is what i did : go to twonky configuration ( port 9000 see tony's article )
Step 1 : Yank out the ethernet cable to ANY OTHER DEVICE except the pc you are working on , your router and the NMH <- this is important
step 2 : Hit the button to erase all the devices it discovered. (reset list)
Step 3 : hit the SAVE button
step 4: UNCHECK the box next to the 'reset list' button
step 5: hit the SAVE button
Now , on the left hand side click on Maintenance
Click on ALL checkboxes under Log level. they should ALL be checked
Hit the Clear Logs button
Hit Save changes
Hit RESTART server. you wil get a file not foound error page. you will see in your browsers titlebar that the url changes to an ip address with some text behind it. remove all that text and key in :9000 and hit return. it will take you back to tonky. ( i don't know how important this step is , but i did not go in throught the device name , i used the ip address from this point on. normally it should not matter but you never know ( i have a suspicion i will explain later )
Write down this IP address. it is usefull to know.
Now since we are back in wonkyvision ( stupid half baked program ) Go back to the maintenance screen.
now hit the rebuild databse button.
You should hear disk activity now.
Hit the Show log button once. the log files should open.
you can refresh this screen by hitting the reload button in your browser.
you should see messages fly by like
21:14:40:317 LOG_SYSTEM:fsmon_add_watch inotify_add_watch (12, /share/media/photos/Moorea May 1998) returns 2045
21:14:40:317 LOG_DB:watch wd=2045 added on /share/media/photos/Moorea May 1998
21:14:40:379 LOG_DB:upnp_folder_watch_add_dir /share/media/photos/Moorea May 1998/New Folder
thnis means it is probin the entire directory structure and adding files and paths.
Let it run for a while. hitting refresh on your browser once in a while. it took a couple of hours on mine ( 76000+ pictures ... ) and a couple of hundred songs + some videos.
once disc activity ceases : go back to twonky port 9000 , go in to maintenance and hit Clear Logs button.
HitSave button
Hit restart server. you will again get an error page. get rid of the rubbish behind the ip address.and key in :9000
go to the clients and security page.
Make sure Automatic discovery is still turned OFF ( if it is on you will see in the logbooks that it attempts several times a second to connecto to anything it can find. Since the detection process is flawed it bombs out. this may overload the poor cpu in the NMH... )
Hit the reset list once more
hit save
Now turn automatic discovery on and hit Save.
go back to maintenacne and hit restart server. again on the error page : erase the garbage after the ip address and go back to port 9000.
if you now go back to client/sharing page you should see 2 possibly 3 device. one is your router , one is the pc you are working on, and the last one is the same ip address as you see in the browser. ( the ipaddress you are using to talk to the nmh )
make sure all the checkboxes before these devices are checked. and hit the save button once more.
at this point i unchecekd the automatic discovery and hit save once more. i go back to maintenance and hit restart server for the last time.
At this point the nmh restarted twonky and immediately there was a ton of disc activity. i opened the normal nmh user interface and lo and behold : the green spinning arrow started to move and progress was going forward. it increased 1% roughly ever 10 seconds or so. when it finally hit 100% everything was there. as it should be.
Now. speculation on my part
- this thing has trouble with long file names and non alphanumerical characters.
- this thing has trouble with device it incorrectly identiefies or cannot identify. this screws up wonkymedia.
- the communication between the process on the NMH (that serves the flash user interface running on your browser ) and winkymedia is going through a network port itself. There are problems. thye do not do inter process communication but go via network messages... ( this is kind of dumb as it loads the network... )
proof :
21:01:03:625 filescanner thread started
21:01:03:628 LOG_SSDPSDP_notify_packet ### SSDP sending:

the filescanner sends messages through network port 1900 to the NMH. Since the filescanner is running on the NMH ... i also have no clue what 239:255:255:250 at 190 is ...
i also see sometimes the following messages fly by
21:01:03:894 [Error] - LOG_HTTP:HTTP_get_header Cannot receive header, clientSocket=13, nBytesReceived=0
21:01:03:894 LOG_HTTP:HTTP_send_receive received no header in HTTP_send_receive, propably client closed socket, URL=http://192.168.1.66:9000/
my suspicion is that , since the various processes running on the NMH ( the indexer , the UI server and all the twonky processes) all intercommunicate through the network port , this is a problem. if the network settings get corrupted ( because false identification , notwork overload or whatever ) the thing jams up.
by cleaning out all the false identieis , letting it identify itself ( important for its own process communication ) and a pc , and then turning off the detection .this solves that problem.
limiting the filesstem to 'clean 32 char max' names solves another problem.
I also see a lot of keep-alive message fly by on the netowrk ( several a second. )
i eventually plugged in my other computers and the roku , let it autodetect for a while and turned this feature back off. Then i plugged in all other devices the NMH has no business with.
So far it still works fine.
I still do see a ton of messages fly by where the NMH is probing the network on existing devices. tey come back with 'device already validated
21:01:04:140 LOG_CLIENT_DB:The entry found in known clients list is already validated (ip=192.168.1.76)

21:01:04:141 LOG_CLIENT_DB:Ignoring client with fixed flag = TRUE (ip=192.168.1.76)
( .76 is the pc i am working on right now. )
i don't know why they keep probing. i am not streaming anything and auto detect is turned off ..
anyway i will keep you guys posted on how this evolves.
One thing is for sure. this is another half baked ' broken source' based system.

further observations :

thisnthing keeps on probing itself ... i wonder why. (.66 is the NMH .76 is my pc ... ) it is also strange it cannot retrieve its own mac address....
Oh , you can turn off the logging features again when done. it only takes time and diskspace on the NMH
And before i get flamed : the comments i make about 'broken source' : i have no gripe with linux. I have a problem with companies that grab a bunch of stuff that is free ,slap it together, sell it for a lot of money and give no support to the people that bought it. They want all the money for no effort .. they turn open source into broken source ...

Livemerge plugin and connection issue.
