Losing network connection when loading new firmware from iTunes (or syncing

Noticed this when loading 1.1.1 weeks ago and now 1.1.2. Several times during the download/installation process, I lost my network connection. Rebooting the PC restored it, only to have it go down again, requiring another reboot. Required several PC (not iPhone) reboots to be able to complete the process. This happens only during this process -- I otherwise never lose my network connection and always enjoy super speed. Paid it no mind and dismissed as a fluke during 1.1.1 upload, but was surprised to see it again this time. In both cases the final download and install worked perfectly. It's just a time-consuming hassle -- kinda weird -- thx much in advance for any clues about this...

It appears the problem appears only when using torrent software.
There is a lot of discussion on different torrent software forums about this, and directions on how to get around this issue. However with my skills I only managed to get Vuze to work properly while killing the network access from all other application. So i just went back to default settings.
I give up for now, I'll wait until Apple releases OS X update that works together with these programs (like it did in tiger and earlier versions..) or if it's even possible, one of the programs finds a way to get around this issue.

  • Classic IPod wont load new music from ITunes ? Help!

    I have authorized a new computer with windows 7 to my itunes but cant get my IPod Classic to load new music from it. It recognizes the IPod but does not sync? I click on IPod tab that comes up and then summary and the open itunes with this ipod is checked, click sync at bottom right and it makes the ding noise but no music load?

    It says I tunes is synced with another I tunes library (probably my old one) on LAPTOP 20. Do you want to erase this IPod and sync with this I tunes library?
    so my question is do I have to lose everything on my IPod and start over, why cant I just sync my IPod with my new I tunes ?

  • New songs from itunes wont sync to ipod

    I just downloaded a new cd from itunes, the boxes are checked but the cd does not sync to my ipod. I tried to do a manual sync & got a message that "you are not authorized to play them on this computer"
    Thakns for the help,
    Jack

    I too experiencing same problem - only since updating to latest version of iTunes. The only solution so far I've found is to sync iPod again - they play, but once iPod turned off for a while problem is there again. Has anyone got any solutions of a more permanent kind!?
    I've decided not to waste any more cash buying music until I solve this - as I also have a problem burning CDs (computer freezes), importing CDs (computer freezes).
    Thanks to anyone who can shed a glimmer of hope!

  • Losing network connection and NIC acts weird from warm/hot weather/temperatures?

    Hello.
    Is there a known issue on MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboards' onboard RealTek RTL8168C (P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC network disconnecting and acting weird during warm/hot weather?
    I noticed lately and back on 1/11/2009 night when weather got warm/hot (e.g., my room can get over 85F degrees, but lately it has been 80F degrees), my network would lose its connection. See http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5580/screenshots.gif for a few SpeedFan's sensor readings when the incidents occurred. I have never seen this happen when the weather is cooler (60-70F degrees in my room).
    I also think this only happens if I am using the PC lightly (nothing intensive) like watching fullscreen videos (video overlay), surfing the Web, etc. I don't see any errors or evidences that it happens when idled (e.g., asleep or out). Uptime doesn't seem to matter since I have seen days to 3.5 hours.
    I tried upgrading network driver twice (e.g., Realtek_XP_5714_0219 from
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ...), disabling Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (XP's disabled already), releasing and renewing IP address (works, but still no network -- can't even ping my router!), unplugging and replugging the cat5 cable (do see the network port lights on), touching the network jack and hardware inside and outside of the case (not hot), trying another cat5 cable and a network port on a switch instead router's), changing from "Minimal Power Management" to full power (no underclocking/slowing down when idled), etc.
    During the disconnections, I tried:

    I also noticed the disconnections usually start with red X icon in my taskbar with its bubble and then later the long disconnection even though no red X (1 GB and connected). If I were to disconnect the cat5 cable from NIC, then it wouldn't even detect it is missing the cable!
    The only way to fix this was to reboot (best way and last longer) OR disable network connection and re-enable it (Windows XP's Network Connections) or the NIC itself (Device Manager), but that doesn't always last long (maybe a minute). Example of my pings right after disabling and re-enabling NIC:
    C:\>ping 192.168.0.1 -t

    Force your NIC to run at 100Mbps full duplex and see how it goes.
    Check your router / switch ports as well as cables.
    I will try 100 Mbps if it happens again. So far, it hasn't occurred after installing the driver supplied by MSI's Web site and not RealTek's Web site. The room temperatures even got warmer like 83F degrees.
    As for router and switch, what am I checking for? Other computers didn't have any problems. As for cat5 cables, I already tried another one like I said in my original post.

  • Itunes 10.2.1 stops responding when loading new folder from ex. harddrive

    The last two days I have been trying to add new albums from my external hard drive to my library. Every other album it stops responding and I have to close it through the task manager. Music plays fine when I don't try to add new music. Sometimes it freezes while loading the songs, sometimes when determining playback, and sometimes when gathering album artwork. Now, when I start it with my external hard drive plugged in, it starts trying to determine the playback info. of the last cd I loaded and freezes. It won't let me do anything.
    All of my music files are on an external drive and the drive works on other computers. All of the music on here opens in other music players such as winamp, media player, etc.
    I have tried reinstalling itunes but the same problems occur.

    Having the exact same problem.
    But.... seems to have fixed it.
    I disabled the option in iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Unchecked the Add files to the itunes library etc.

  • I'm trying to get a Netgear DM111P modem to connect to my Apple and the internet.  I have to enter details of my modem via the net, however I don't have a network connection when this new modem is connected.  HELP?????

    Hi, I'm trying to change modems as my ISP provided modem has melted.  I bought a Netgear DM111P and haven't had any success in hooking this sucker up.  I'm supposed to enter details into the modem, however, I can't do this on the net because I don't have access when the new modem is connected.  Has anyone got a solution???

    Sorry that you are having difficulties, but I'm not sure how much help we can provide for a Netgear modem on an Apple support forum. I've posted the link for the setup manual for your Netgear model in case you do not have this handy.
    DM111Pv2 Setup Manual
    You will need to connect your computer directly to the Netgear modem to setup the DM111P.
    Once that is accomplished, you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the Netgear modem.
    If you need help with the Netgear configuration, you should contact Netgear Support.
    http://support.netgear.com/app/contact
    Once you have the Netgear modem working with your computer, post back and we can help get the AirPort Extreme set up with the modem.

  • Losing network connection when I close my MBP

    Since I raised my network security mode to WPA2_Personal on my Linksys wrt160n router I have had to log in to my MBP network connection with my password each time I open the MBP. How can I lock in the settings so I don't have to log in each time?

    The sleep function on all MacBooks and PowerBooks is activated by a little magnet in the lid. If the said magnet is mis-aligned then it could cause the system not to sleep properly, similarly if the magnetic switch on the base of the unit is mis-placed, it too could cause the machine to malfunction. End users can't really fix this problem, if indeed it's the cause, but a Apple service centre can, maybe your mac needs a spot of tweaking?

  • Losing network connection when computer goes to sleep

    I have been putting up with a nagging problem that I hope someone can help solve. (I asked about this earlier and thought the problem had been solved, but it has not.)
    Periodically when I start work after my notebook has been asleep, I am asked to reconnect to my wireless network. It doesn’t happen every time, and I have not been able to discover a pattern. I am also asked to re-enter my password, even though it is in my keychain and I always check the “remember this password” box. “Ask to join new networks" is not checked in the Advances pane, "Remember any network this computer has joined" is checked, and in the list of preferred networks, my home network is the top one.
    I am not having any problem with the network itself and I am working on the desk where Time Capsule is located.
    I am obviously doing something wrong, but what?

    Are you using TC as your router? Or do you have another router?
    If another router, update the firmware for starters.

    Did you check the network setting?
    Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

  • Creating a new connection when creating a report from scratch

    I've searched all around but I haven't managed to find any samples or forum posts that show how to create a connection when creating a report from scratch via RCAPI.  All of the code that I've found has been aimed at replacing the ConnectionInfo for an existing connection.  I figured that it would work something like this:
    m_crystalReport.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
    m_crystalReport.newDocument();
    IConnectionInfo ci = new ConnectionInfo();
    PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
    propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", true);
    propertyBag.put("Connection URL", "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=" + DB_NAME);
    propertyBag.put("Database Class Name", "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
    propertyBag.put("Database DLL", "crdb_jdbc.dll");
    ci.setAttributes(propertyBag);
    m_connection = new Connection();
    m_connection.setConnectionInfo(ci);
    m_connection.open();
    but this produces a NullPointerException within Connection.open().  If I leave the connection closed but add it to the report via DatabaseController.addConnection() then I just get the exception later on when I try to add tables using the connection.
    Can anyone give me any pointers please?
    Thanks,
    Rich.

    Just in case anyone else runs into this, I managed to fix it by leaving the connection closed and then using the connection info instead of the connection when creating tables, eg:
         ITable t = new Table();
         t.setAlias(v.getAlias());
         t.setName(v.getView().getName());
         t.setConnectionInfo(m_connectionInfo);
         getDatabaseController().addTable(t, null);

  • 3000 N100 lost network connection when resuming from standby

    My Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop seems to lose it's network connection when it resumes from standby.  I have to restart the machine in order to reconnect to the ethernet network.  Running WindowsXP Pro.  Any advice or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Sorry for presumption that it was wireless connection issues, it might work since the solution involves tweaking or changing power management settings.
    However, if does not work you can still look for the solution in that website by entering the problem in the search dialogue box and clicking "search site"
    Let us know how it went.

  • We have a new iPod  Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac.  We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level.  Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

    Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what  "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"),  should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music?  Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
    There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing.  Any suggestions?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

  • Randomly losing network connection over wireless

    Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
    1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
    2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
    3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
    Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
    I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
    1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
    3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
    Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.

    Hi!
    I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
    I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
    I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

  • A fix for the Mozilla Firefox SSL Certificate Validation Security Weakness vulnerability? This appears to be an issue with not revalidating certificates when loading HTTPS pages from cache.

    We have to close vulnerabilities for PCI & Cybertrust certification. We have upgraded users running Firefox to version 7.0.1 but we are still receiving the message: Mozilla Firefox SSL Certificate Validation Security Weakness. Researching the issue, it appears to be related to certificates not being revalidated when loading HTTPS pages from cache. The bug report I found is:
    Bug 660749 - Firefox doesn't (re)validate certificates when loading a HTTPS page from the cache

    New profile, same problem.
    We've already established it is not a add-ons problem but obviously there will be less add-ons in this new profile to help exclude.
    Since there is two PC profiles on the PC, I tried the second profile, same problem. Used the RESET FF function on the second PC profile...same thing...even followed the instruct for uninstall &re-install...same problem.
    (3) different virus scanners, no hard core problems.
    Suspect how I have something in Windows setup that no one else is using?
