Lost server connection hang worse than ever

I thought 10.5 was supposed to address the problem of a Mac hanging if a server disappears before being unmounted? I installed Leopard on my G5; now, if I accidentally disconnect a mounted server (e.g., my iMac goes to sleep or my PowerBook is disconnected), the G5 becomes completely unusable. Under 10.4, I had a good chance of getting it back after a minute or two; under 10.5, it's gone--I have to restart with the power button.
What could be going on that this is happening?

  • Just Updated to Firefox 26.0...Hanging Worse Than Ever.

    I just updated to FireFox 26.0 a few hours ago, and now when I visit a site like Wonkette.com, the browser hangs are worse than ever before...and they were bad before. My browser is hanging (becomes completely unresponsive) minutes at a time before it either loads the page, or tries to load it and I get a script error (which takes more minutes to pop up while the browser's unresponsive) before it loads.
    God help you if you go anywhere with an IntenseDatabase commenting system or any kind of embedded video player. I have on no add-ons or plug-ins, so it is not that (and they are all up-to-date, anyway, but that's irrelevant).
    No, this is not something solved by going into Safe Mode - the seeming catch-all cure that never works, either - so don't even offer that up as a solution. Thanks.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • BB Connection speed worse than it was before repor...

    Hi
    I am new to this forum but wonder if someone can help.
    I had a speed of 1.2Meg and was supposed to get between 3.5-5.5 according to BT via a call center, BT wholesale website and through recent letter when I signed up to a new contract. I therefore queried this and after 1 hour on the phone with various checks and engineer was sent out and he managed to get my speed to 1.6 but said distance from exchange was the issue. A follow up call by BT said that I was being switched to ADSL2 line and after 10 days stabilisation my speed would jump to around 4meg.
    The 10 day stabilisation period has ended and my speed is now 0.8 meg and the BT wholesale website for my number has been updated to state max speed of 3.5meg but I get nowhere near that and am actually worse off than I was before.
    I do not know what to do now as I am in a worse position than I was and am dependant on a decent speed as I work from home.
    Any thoughts on what to do and if there is someone to speak to in BT that deals specifically with BB issues would be appreciated.
    Many thanks

    I spoke to BT again yesterday and they said they would make some changes and within 24 hours my speed would increase but is has not.
    Thanks for the hints and tips from Roger B – I have had this same BT line for past 6 years so no changes or additions at my end that could interfere with the speed - this is worst speed I have had. All I did recently was upgrade from option 2 to option 3 and that is when BT advised me on the phone and by letter that I should be getting 3.5  - 5.5 mbps. I was getting about 1.2 no problem and when engineer came out he managed to get it to sync at 1.8 but I was getting about 1.6 during tests and he  said that i would never get as high as the sync test.
    Not sure what BT have done since the engineer came out but they did mention switching me to ADSL2 but I thought that would have had an increase – its frustrating as each time I speak to someone at BT I have to explain the whole issue again and they start with their script of questions that has all been tried and tested already.
    If there is someone at BT who reviews this forum and can take this on it would help immensely.
    Many thanks everyone for any help you can offer.

    P.S. does anyone know what bandwidth/speed is needed to make telephone calls through the internet as that is what I am worried about.

  • Lost server connection for emails

    I have lost connection to my server for my emails. It has worked ok for a year &amp; has suddenly stopped. I can still access the Internet. My email provider is NTL. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've checked all my details are correct.

    Does your iPhone connect to the email server on another Wi-Fi netowrk?

  • Windows Live Mail 2012 - Outgoing Email Times Out due to Lost Server Connection

    Using Windows Live Mail 2012 on WIN7 64-bit.
    Been receiving emails seemingly without issues, but...
    Haven't been able to POST any outgoing emails now since September 16th for any of my main/sub accounts.
    Indicator is a Norton Internet Security popup stating:
    "Email Error. Your email message was unable to be sent because the connection to your email server was interrupted. Please open your email client and resend the message from the Sent Messages folder." Then it lists the from/to/subj.
    I recompose and try to resend; same results.
    I've rolled WIN7 back to September 6th, but results are the same.
    I thought perhaps NIS was blocking the SMTP port, but same results when I turn off NIS and Antivirus. I don't see anything of significance in NIS's logs.
    Of course, Verizon's mini-app that sniffs out and corrects email problems does not know or care about Live Mail. Just Outlook and OE.
    Ideas? Things to try? Thanks.

    Why don't these match? 
    Also, my port settings don't seem to match what's posted online.
    My outbound port is 25 (not 465) and my inbound port is 110 (not 995).
    Doesn't seem right to me, and I'm wondering what changed in the past week?
    The changes to pop/smtp from incoming/outgoing have been in the works for a while. Maybe Verizon finally go around to disabling the old servers?
    Either way, you should update to the latest settings.
    For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
    The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
    Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes
    Username: fakeacct
    Password: fakepassword
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 465
    If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal

  • Getting Canon MX700 to print is worse than ever

    Questions:
    When I download drivers and software for the printers, they stay in the Downloads Folder. Should they be stashed somewhere else or do they automatically get put somewhere? I am starting over and will need to download MX700 drivers again.
    My iMAC was not recognizing the location of the printer most of the time, yet sometimes it did. I have a solid USB connection and have printed thru that. Yet I have had trouble getting the IJ Netwrok Utility to work. (When OS X was 10.5.3, I did have the printer networked and printed by ethernet connections, but I often got an Error Number 306 which seemed to mean the computer was not finding the printer.) Now, the OS X ver 10.5.4 is operating and the computer just doesn't see the printer.
    I think I need to start by trashing all the canon files... I've dragged driver files to the trash and emptied it. Is that all I need to do to "uninstall" drivers and printer/scan/fax software.
    I think I upgraded the firmware successfully, but how can I tell for sure? And is that firmware that gets loaded onto the printer???
    Getting re-started here. ( I switched from Windows XP platform a few weeks ago and am getting used to the OS X environment. Currently working on Leopard 10.5.4)
    Thanks for your help.

    Most packages that you download have installers which copy the included files into the appropriate places. This is the case with the Canon printer driver. Once you have run the installer you can leave the downloaded package where it is, or trash it if you are short on space. No reference is made to these files during operation.

Now, the OS X ver 10.5.4 is operating and the computer just doesn't see the printer.
    The IJ utility is for configuring the printer. Once it has been configured, you don't need to use it again to connect to the printer. This is done via the More Printers > Canon IJ Network. With this window open, the printer should appear in the list showing its Ethernet (MAC) address. If the printer is connected via Ethernet to a hub/switch and you are connected to the same device, then try pinging the printer if the Canon IJ Network view doesn't show the printer. If you get a response then at least you know that the Mac and MX700 can 'see' each other. So, this would indicate something is amiss with the driver and trashing it is a good next step.
    I think I need to start by trashing all the canon files... I've dragged driver files to the trash and emptied it. Is that all I need to do to "uninstall" drivers and printer/scan/fax software.
    Pretty much. You can delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder located in ./Library/Printers/Canon. You also can delete the Canon MX700 xx.pkg file located in ./Library/Receipts.
    With these files trashed you can then install the latest version, which looking at the Canon AU web site, is v6.9.3.
    I think I upgraded the firmware successfully, but how can I tell for sure? And is that firmware that gets loaded onto the printer???
    The install is not a firmware upgrade. It is software that is used by your Mac for printing and scanning. You will not be able to determine the version you have easily until you manage to add the printer. I suggest that you add the MX700 first as a direct USB connection, since you know that works. This will show you the driver version. Confirm that it is v6.9.3. If it is, then you know you are using the latest version which should work fine on 10.5.4.
    The last step is to try adding it as a network printer again. Open the Print & Fax utility and select to Add. Then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. The MX700 should appear in this view. If so, you can select it to complete the installation.
    If the printer is still not seen, can you confirm how it is connected to your network and how your Mac is connected to this same network.
    Also, if you are using TCP/IP for your communication, please reply with the ip address of your Mac and the MX.

  • We are up to FF 25 and the issue with Huffington Post is worse than ever. Is there are serious effort to fix this going on?

    Firefox consistently locks up for minutes at a time when Huffington Post updates. This has been going on for at least 18 months and it does not appear there is a serious effort to address the problem. I have read though all the forum questions and replies and I do not see a serious effort on the part of Firefox to address this. It is causing significant enough problems to make using Firefox an issue. What is the problem and will be be fixed at some point?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • *DAC Server connection "Error - can't establish connection to DAW Server"

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing trouble with the Oracle Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) server connection hanging in my Oracle BI Apps 7.9.6 install.
    Architecture*
    Applications Server - Machine A (Oracle Connection Services 10g R2 + Informatica 8.6.0 & HotFix 4.0 + DAC 10.1.3.4.1 services) = Linux RHEL 64-bit
    Database Server - Machine B (Oracle BI Apps Data Warehouse OBAW + DAC Repository + Informatica Repository) = Linux RHEL 64-bit
    Client - Machine C (BI Apps 7.9.6 + Informatica 8.6.0 & HotFix 4.0 client + DAC 10.1.3.4.1 client) = Windows x86 32-bit)
    Issue*
    After successfully following the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Installation Guide for Informatica PowerCenter Users Version 7.9.6 (E14217-01) documentation I get to section 4.13 Configuring the DAC Server and I cannot create a successful connection to the DAC Server from the Data Warehouse Administration Console on my client machine.
    I can confirm that I have started the DAC services on the Linux server with the . ./startserver.sh command. The icon on the Data Warehouse Administration Console turns Orange (Idle), but when I double click the icon a message box appears with the title "Server Log" but seems to hang.
    If I stop the DAC services on the Linux server with the . ./stopserver.sh command the Server Log message box closes and a new message box appears stating:
    *"Error: can't establish connection to DAW Server!"*
    I have tried using the IP address and the actual server name as defined in the Hosts file as the DAC Server Host in the DAC System Properties but I receive the same error message.
    I can also confirm that I ran the serverSetupPrompt.sh shell script successto configure the connection between the DAC Server and the DAC Repository.
    Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    Hi Gary,
    If you have the Orange icon then your client is connected to the DAC server. (If it's red then it's not, and if it's green it's connected and an execution plan is running).
    If you have never run any DAC jobs (and if you're just doing the installation then you won't have I guess) then your log will be blank and you'll just get a blank log window.
    Have you got any evidence that your DAC server isn't running other than the Log won't download properly?
    Obviously if you stop the DAC server then you're going to get an error that the client can't connect to the server :-D
    If I were you I'd continue with the installation guide, as it sounds like things are working as they should.
    BTW don't forget to mark this and other responses to your posts as helpful/correct as appropriate :)

  • Looking for a server connection and hangs when I take my air home

    Everytime I open motion on my new Air it seeks a server connection and then comes back with "can't find 10.10.1.101".  It then hangs again for a few minutes with the same message. It tries a third time again with the same message and then gives up and allows me to work unimpeded.
    I trashed prefs and can't find anyway else to un-make this desire to attach itself to my work server. Any ideas out there?

    The easiest and best way is using 1) - change the SMTP server used for your work email account when at home.
    I assume you must use the SMTP server for your work account to send messages with your personal account when at work?
    There is a collection of AppleScripts available called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script you want to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) to switch between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
    Thunderbird includes a setting for changing the default SMTP server used for all accounts but this must be selected/changed by location which is not much or any different.

  • Sql server 2000 connect with other than jdbc?

    Is there any other way to connect to a Sql Server 2000 database other than with jdbc? My problem actually resides in the fact that I did a small program to test the connection to the database and it works perfectly on my computer but on the server that it's going to stay on, it doesn't.
    the program is classic:
    try{
         DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());     
         Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://12.345.67.890\ \INSTANCENAME:1433;databaseName=NAME;selectMethod=cursor;","user","pass");
    if (connection != null) {
         System.out.println("Successfully connected");
    this small program works ok on my computer(win xp, tomcat 6) but on the other computer(ubuntu, tomcat 5.2) says
    Exceptionjava.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance is either invalid or not running.
    I pinged the ip(12.3...) from the server and it works. So I can't figure out what could cause the error. I tried 20 different connection string and don't work. I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? Since I can't figure out the problem, I'm trying to test connection using something else than jdbc but google didn't help much
    thanks in advance!

    I'm thinking it might have to do with using MS jdbc drivers on a unix platform? Why would that matter if you're using type IV 100% Java JDBC drivers?
    or maybe it's from the server firewall(it's a virtual server), anybody can confirm if they had similar problem? If you can ping it successfully, how can it be a firewall issue?
    You're doing something else wrong.
