Hi
If you up the logging level to Information or Debug you should see something like this in the Mail.log: "NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from . . . . 450 . . . . Recipient address rejected: Service is unavailable:"
Greylisting is enabled by default as soon as you start the Mail Service. Any legitimate mail server will try and send again to your domain. Spammers will give up and move onto an easier target.

Reboot hangs and takes several minutes to reboot

Hello fellow archers I have a Vaio laptop and my system started to hang and takes several minutes to reboot.
I have no real clue as to why since poweroff works fine and reboot used to work fine.
I did a system update. And more recently migrated to systemd, may not be related
edit: I found a workaround. Adding the following to my grub kernel line
reboot=pci
But it does not reboot quite the same way, meaning the power led no longer goes off and back on.
Still haven't quite figured out why I can no longer reboot normally without this workaround.

I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
Shutting down and then restarting works fine.

Hi Frank,
Does this Release Management performance isssue occurred when you use it at first time? Do you have any setting on your TFS? Would you please tell us your TFS version?
If you have any repro steps, please share with us, thank you.
Best Regards,
Dear Molly,
Yes, this issue has occurred right from the beginning when we started using Release Management.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "do you have any setting on your TFS"? As far as I know, our TFS installation is a straightforward and normal one.
Our TFS version is TFS 2013.
The steps to reproduce (in the simplest scenario) are as follows:
Create a new project in Visual Studio 2013, containing one PowerShell script file. In the script file, perform a simple command such as "New-Item E:\Temp3 -itemtype directory -force".
Perform a successful build of the project, making sure that the script file is copied to the drop folder.
Create a vNext Component in the Release Management Client, that refers to the directory in the drop folder that contains the script file.
Create a new vNext Release Template in the Release Management Client, containing one "Deploying using PS/DSC" action. In that action, set the PSScriptPath to the script file we created.
Perform a new Release using the Release Template we just created. The Deploy action will take a long time, even though the script itself takes less than a second to run.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

The install DVD's are specific to the model they shipped with.....if your friends Mac is not the same exact model it will not work.....plus I do not think it is totally legal.....

Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

I mac hanging and can't relaunch finder

Hi, I'm an I mac user 10.4.11, I already have 4 Gb of RAM, i'm having a problem with I mac, it seems to hang alot, and when it hangs there is usually a problem with the finder, I can relaunch, but when I do everything on the screen disappears all the icons, HD icons, even the menus on the top left hand corner, and right hand corner, and when this happens I can't shut it down, which forces me to turn it off by pressing the power button in the back of my i mac(now this is the main problem for me, I mean if could shut it down then I won't be complainning too much).
I've already done everything, tried updating it already, but i'm still having this problem.
tried doing the hardware tests but there was no problem, I've already repaired the Hard drive using the disc utilty. But the problem keeps coming back again.
Any advice anybody?
much appreciated..

First of all, it would be safest to make a backup of your drive, just in case something goes wrong. At the very least, make a backup of your current user folder. You can alway reinstall the OS and apps from original discs, but you cannot replace your personal data if it's lost with no backup.
The most complete way would be to get an external drive (if you don't have one already) that is at least as large as the used space on your internal drive. Use a cloning utility (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) to duplicate your internal drive to the external drive. After the process completes, set the external drive as the startup disk, in System Preferences Startup pane, and try to start up from it. Make sure it works like the original and all your data is accessible. Now, you have a bootable backup and you are safe messing with your internal drive. Even if you mess up something, you can start up from the external drive and clone the external drive back onto the internal drive, and you are back to square one.
Back to your actual question... If you want to move to a new account and abandon the current account, Apple supplies a utility called Migration Assistant. While logged in to the NEW user account, you can run that utility (in Applications/Utilities) and select the +Migration Method+ to transfer your information +From a Time Machine backup or other disk+. If you select your current internal drive, you should be able to then select your current (old) account as the account to transfer. You will be presented with various options for what to transfer.
But if I was doing it, I would do it manually, so that I know what's happening and have more control. I would first move my current user account data folders to a common area. You can use the
<startup drive>/Users/Shared/
folder, because it is accessible while logged in to your old and new accounts. Move the folders and files you want to transfer there first while logged in to your OLD account. Then log in to your new account and move them from the Shared folder to the equivalent locations in your NEW account. You can try to do this all at once, or take it slow and do one category of your user files (such as Music, Pictures, Documents, etc.) at a time.
You should not need to reinstall apps because they are installed in a location that is common to all users. However, each user has a Library folder with preference files, so you may need to reset the preferences on apps and maybe also reenter product registration information again.
You can delete your old account from System Preferences Accounts pane, after you makes sure you have everything you want in your new account. There is nothing really special about the first user account. Make sure your new account is an admin account, because you don't want to be left with no admin accounts. However, you can just keep the old account around for a few months to play it safe. If you moved (not copied) the files over to your new account, the old account should not be taking up too much space.

App store for Mac hangs and does not open

When I click on the app store icon on my desk top, it just bobs and never opens. However it is running in the background as my computer starts moving very slowly and hangs if I try to restart or shut down.
How do I fix this?

Hey guys,
My app stores was actually working very well when I first downloaded the update. I actually bought 2 applications.
It's now behaving as described above, bounces for a bit then I get "App Store quite unexpectedly"
I initially installed the Combo update knowing it's virtues, I later reinstalled and repaired permissions, no luck. I even trashed the App Store and repeated the Combo install with a permission repair.
If there is anything I can Suspect, it maybe Clean My Mac, I used the software once last week, but i don't recall a clear connection between it and the App Store behaving as such.
further, I'd like to add that surprisingly the Dock icon is showing me a Badge with the number of software updates... strange.
Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Open quicktime file to play movie and mac hangs and leaves artifacts (screen smear) on screen mac slows down

I recently completed a clean install of snow leopard and added some RAM to my MAC
when I open a QuickTime file... my MAC slows down, I get the rainbow pin wheel and screens and menus that I try to access start to "smear"... leave behind artifacts
ultimately the movies flutter and don't play properly, and I have to restart my MAC to reset my desktop
I suspect it may be related to my RAM because I've never had this issue previously although it only seems to occur when I use QuickTime
... also I installed "flip for mac"
I purchased the RAM from OWC
thoughts?

The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.

Mac + parallels and https site test = router restarts

Ok I have an interesting & very frustrating problem happening. I'm going to explain it the best I can.
I work as a graphic designer & web designer on a mac and have a Comcast internet connection that comes through a Comcast branded router (SMC8014) which then ties into an Airport Extreme Base Station which runs my office network. I run OS 10.5.7 and also run Parallels 4.0.3 (running Windows XP) for testing websites in Internet Explorer and so on.
Ok, so that the basic background. Here's my issue.
I've been collaborating an ecommerce website with another designer/developer and when testing the site on the PC side we have started to run into some sort of network problem. The site is https if that matters at all I suspect it may. Basically when I run parallels for testing I am constantly having to restart the router in order to connect to the test site (it's hosted). Funny thing is I can access the rest of the internet fine, just not this site I'm working on until I restart the router (It's sorta like the site is timing out). This never happens when just running the Mac side of things. It only becomes an issue when Parallels is open and I am doing page refreshes while making css or HTML edits via something like Coda or CSS edit (connected to the hosting server via ftp). The real problem is that once the problem starts I only get about 2 or 3 page loads before I have to restart the router again. It's absolutely crippling. I cannot get any work done when I have to restart the router every couple of minutes.
So, if you think this problem is isolated to me, the answer is no. The designer/developer I'm collaborating with has an office a couple miles away and experiences very similar problems under slightly different setup. He also has Comcast as his internet provider and connects his router to an Airport and primarily works on a mac. The main difference is that rather than using a visualizer like parallels to test the website on the PC he uses a real live PC that is on his network. Once he fire up the PC to do testing he runs into the same issue described above. After a couple of page refreshes in Internet Explorer or other browser on the PC the site becomes unresponsive and the router has to get restarted.
Any thoughts on what is going on here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi spidey23, the original problem in this thread is that the QuickTime 7.6.6 plugin is marked as vulnerable and needing an update, but none is available for MacOS X 10.6.
It sounds as though you might be having a different problem, which is you are not getting any sound accompanying your videos -- is that the problem? If so, you might want to start a new thread which focuses on that issue and mention in the subject line (the question) that it's on the Mac. You can do that here:

Constantly Freezing and taking an hour to restart

I'm not quite sure what you mean by Carrier =/
v5.0.0.794 (Bundle 1345, Platform 6.3.0.23
I can't check the memory before and after a battery pull because it's the reset that I'm having problems with.
Basically, my phone freezes at least 6/7 times a day, just doing stupid things like loading facebook it'll just cut off completely, and when I leave it it either goes to an error page, or just stays like that for the next half hour or so, until I get annoyed and pull the battery. Lately it's started taking longer and longer to reset after pulling the battery. Yesterday it took me 3/4 of an hour to get it to load, and then it froze again straight away, then it loaded within about half an hour after. Today it took closer to an hour to load up again, it got stuck half way up the loading bar and just stayed there, and just as I was about to try pulling the battery it started moving again. It's really doing my head in and I'm really starting to regret getting this phone now purely because it spends more time loading than it does working.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Obviously your 9300 is messed up with something... my initial guess it that it is some third party application or theme you have might have installed. Deleting ALL third party apps would be a place to start... and see if these issues continue.
You can also upgrade the operating system to the latest official release 5.0.0.977, but there is also an OS6 version upgrade you can do.
For now, I'd recommend the OS 5.0.0.977.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.

Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Whenever connect my ipod to my car to play music it becomes unresponsive after a few minutes and takes 10 mins to restart after ipod is reset how do i fix this?

ipod shutting down when i play music in the car via car connector

You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
However, the problem may be that the car system is not compatible with your iPod and its iOS. You might want to use the communities search box in the upper right and search for your car's make for similar problems.

Mac freezes and says I need to restart because boot camp fails to load.

2007 Macbook 2.16ghz dual core intel 4 gig ram 128 gig sata hd running osx lion 10.75 and Boot Camp is running Windows 7 64 bit. The screeen freezes before I am able to copy and paste the error. How do I fix this? Please help!

I then load the recovery partition by holding down the option key immediately after pressing the power button. Macintosh HD, the windows partition, and recovery HD pop up, I select recovery, then go into Disk utility. Then the Windows partition is in the top left, I select that, and repair disk, however the repair disk option is not accessable. The only option is verify disk. Repair disk is not available!!

Login - Macbook Hangs and I have to force restart.

Hey,
Recently I've come into a problem. When I turn on my Macbook and login, the finder and spotlight are the only things that open - if I try to open any apps, no progress is made - and I get a rainbow-cartwheel logo. I then have to force the computer to shut down and then reboot the machine, when I log in everything is fine, except my 'graphite' setting is now turned to the default 'blue' setting, in appearances.
I have no idea how this problem has occurred, I wish to solve it. Can anyone shed any light? I don't think it's a good idea to be forcibly turning my Macbook off EVERY day.
Thanks!
Jeremy

Reinstall OS - works a treat now.
