Major problems publishing to .mac-tried everything

I have tried numerous times to publish to .mac, but have received a "the .mac servers are busy, try again in a few minutes" message.
I checked the .mac site and all lights are green.
i tried two different internet connections at two different locations.
Nothing works!
but, the wierd thing is, when my wife tried, it gave the same message repeatedly, but then it published the blogs!(but she didn;t even know it) But, those blog pages are still "in red" in iweb. What's up with that?
this is extremely frustrating because each time it takes about 40 minutes to get to the point where the message comes up. That's a whole other issue- very slow to publish.
Any help appreciated

Problem Publishing to .Mac

I created a one page site and tried publishing to .mac many times. It seems to take forever (well beyond 30min) and I finally get a message that says there was trouble updating .mac. I have 1024MB of idisk space and can't figure out what the problem is. I am new to this and mac's in general so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. I'm a teacher that wants to start posting podcasts for his students to review and do some other cool things with.

I tried publishing again and got the message "trouble reading idisk quota".
Anyone with similar problems or solutions?

Major Problem - Cannot access Mac

Due to my own stupidity I had reason to reinstall my OS X 10.3.4 onto my G4. I installed the first disk no problems but when the second one was finished it asked for my password.
I entered it but it would not work, I tried different ways (i.e. caps on etc.) and no joy. I know it is the right password, even the hint confirmed that.
I've no idea why it won't work but I can not access my mac now, is there a way around this or worse case scenario do I have to reset mac and will I loose everything? If yes how do I do this?
Thanks
DC

See if this helps.

My calendar is blocked. The server has a problem. I am trying everything, but since days I have no access to my agenda anymore. I am about to throw my MacBook Air out of the window :-( How can I solve this problem? My calendar does not react to anything!!

My calendar is blocked since a few days, while I tried to upload a message in an event. In this weekend, i have not been able to get ANYbody at all online, to help me. I am desperate and feel absolutely idiot. Is anybody out there who can help me?.
In the website it said:
1. Open iCal - select "preferences" (I cannot select anything!)
2. Select "accounts" (I have no clue what to do there)
3. Re-enter " username and password (Where?)
4. Exit iCal and start again (I did this, but don't get anywhere near a solution).
5. Done (cry, cry, nothing changed for days now and I am about to throw everything out of my window :-))
Thanks for some very useful and easy tips!

Thanks mate ...
yes I have an upgraded Iphoto 11 from 9.4.3 ........ unfortunately .... no it didn't solve the problem. Of course my illiteracy is no help ..... but I did as you suggested and nothing changed at all. When I highlight a photo I am unable to minimize it and despite changing folders (ie:photos to events) all that happens is that the events folder opens behind the opened photo. The only solution is to go to "force quit" even though there is no sign to say "iphoto is not responding". and start again ..... very frustrating. Appreciate any suggestion you have ...

Yamaha MIDI Problem. I have tried EVERYTHING, please help!

I have a Yamaha YPG 635 that I have hooked up to a Yamaha Audiogram 3 which is, in turn, connected to my Imac. Now, I can get my Audiogram to register on the Mac. When I go to the Preferences>Audio/Midi, I can choose it on the Input and Output options. My Mac sees it. However, the problem is that it doesn't recognize it as a MIDI input and therefore I cannot record with Garageband instruments. I CAN record normally with just the Piano audio coming through the Audiogram to the computer, but I need to also be able to record using Garageband's instruments, which it won't do because it doesn't recognize the MIDI. How do I fix this? I have already tried several times downloading the drivers from Yamaha, and it didn't work. I also deleted the drivers once I heard that the 10.6.6 OS does it automatically, but it STILL isn't working. Any other suggestions?

Well the Audiogram 3 is an 'audio' interface...
So there is no way for it to be recognized as a midi input.
Audio Midi two different things....
However, the 635 has a midi interface built-in accessed via the USB port to transfer midi data.....
To use the 635 as a controller.....
Re-install the correct midi drivers and connect the USB TO HOST port to your iMac's USB port.

New Ipad 2 having problems connecting to Wifi - Tried Everything

Tried to set up my new ipad this morning and connected to Wifi fine. Played on it for 10 mins and then it dropped the Wifi connection. Tried everthing to get it going rebooting, restoring network setting etc etc. After 30mins of trying the wifi section in settings went grey and you could not click on it anymore.
Did a complete restore through itunes and managed to get the wifi connection working again but the same thing happened again after 10 mins.
We have looked at all the different channels on the router and selected the highest signal strength which made no difference.
Very fustrating day, both out blackberrys work on UMA through router,mums and brother iphones both connect to router ok, mac connects ok and my pc connects fine. Please could someone help me before i have a nervous breakdown. Have spent all day trying to get it work and still seem to be a million miles off getting it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Losing connection with B210a photosmart printer on my Mac: tried everything

Hi there,
I'm a new Dutch guy here, so sorry if I appear newbie-ish and if my English is imperfect...
I've recently bought an iMac (finally!) and a wireless HP Photosmart B210a printer. I'm having trouble with my printer, which is connected wirelessly through a TP-Link WR1043N router.
After I installed the printer, I was able to print and even scan wirelessly. But after a while, I somehow can no longer print or scan. This problem persists even after re-installing the printer.
This is what I did trying to solve the issue:
1 uninstall the printer using the hp uninstall utility, using the 'scrubbed method' (pressing <ctrl><option><command> when clicking Uninstall)
2 delete any item containing "hp" of "print" in its name in the preferences folder in the library
3 reset the printing system by pressing <ctrl> and clicking the printer list in system preferences
4 run software update from the apple menu
5 download the latest printer drivers from hp.com (PS_AIO_08_B210_USW_Full_Mac_WW_74.dmg) and install the printer
6 reserve an IP-address for the printer in the router settings
7 set the ip-address in the printer's wireless settings
8 download the latest printer drivers from the apple website via this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907 and install them (executing packet scripts takes a lot more time than indicated: 'less than a minute' appears to be an arguable period of time)
Unfortunately this doesn't do the trick for me
When I print a page, it works the first time but after that I simply can't print. The print job is stuck, while the print task list keeps searching for the printer indicates that it is off line.
I can access the printer's built-in web server by entering it's IP-address in my web browser (I can even scan using this web page!). When I run the wireless setup wizard on the printer, the stuck print job comes out eventually...
Any suggestions?

Great English and good troubleshooting so far!
Here are a couple of more things to try:
- When you reserve an IP for the printer, reserve an IP outside the DHCP range of the router.
- If this does not work, try unplugging the DSL line and rebooting the router without it. If the printer works as expected, then it is your ISP doing funny things to the router. I would recommend getting your own router (to install on top of your ISP's).

TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi. This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help. I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem. It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey. I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e. network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing. I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem. Please please what do I do?

Another major problem after 10.4.8 update

Hi everyone,
I've never had any major problem with any Mac OS update yet until I had the crazy idea to install the 10.4.8 update last week. I wish I would have never done this. This is also the first time I wish I had Windows since I can't remember such a big screw up with any Windows update I've seen.
But back to the problem, after the installation on my old 12" Powerbook (1.33GHz with an additional 1GB of RAM) the system got really slow. The harddisk was accessed all the time, so after reading some forums people said that Spotlight would run a re-index of the database which made sense to me. So I just let it run over night and the next day the permanent HDD access was gone, but whenever I tried to access a folder it took ages (HDD access again...). So I decided to reboot which took about 20 minutes until the desktop fully showed up and was useable. Again, I had HDD access all the time. After two hours or so it stopped again, but as soon as I clicked on something, for example a folder, it started again. At that point the Powerbook was simply not useable anymore because I couldn't even start a program.
So I start browsing through several forums and many people suggested to re-install the 10.4.8 combo update again. That's what I tried, after a while I could only hear the HDD access running and running. The installer said 29 minutes left and progress bar didn't move any further. I had it running for over a hour like that. I couldn't abort it, I could start no other software, nothing. It still showed 29 minutes and the HDD was accessed all the time.
So I restarted the Powerbook since this obviously wasn't going anywhere. Apple logo came up, the little gear spinning thing as well and of course I could hear the HDD being accessed. After two hours of doing this I aborted and decided to boot into safe mode to install the combo update. Again, same situation. HDD running like crazy and Apple logo, but no login screen coming up.
So I decided to boot from the Install disk and have the disc utility check the HDD... but of course after selecting the language and clicking continue at the screen when the HDD first shows up it starts to access the HDD... I can't select the HDD, I can't even get to the DU, nothing. It's been running like that for hours now. It seems like whenever the HDD is involved in something the accessing starts and just keeps running without any result. The HDD is getting very hot already.
I've never run into such a problem before, so I'm kinda clueless what to do next. I don't mind to reinstall, but I have some files on that HDD that I need (some notes in text files, some emails and so on).
So at this point I can't boot into OS X to access the HDD and I can't use the installer disk to access DU or even reinstall if I wanted to. I don't think the HDD is broken, this only happened after the 10.4.8 update. It just seems that every HDD access takes hours and hours longer than it should.
What options do I have to get my data from the disk? I'll try to install OS X to a new external drive tomorrow (need one with firewire first). If that doesn't help I thought about pulling out the HDD from the Powerbook and hook it up to my MacMini or an iMac.
If anyone has any other suggestion or solved a similar problem before, please let me know.
Best,
Stephan

Ipod not recognized in itunes, stuck in recovery mode (tried everything)

I've had my ipod touch for about a year now, and the other day itunes told me I needed to download the new software and such. FYI, I use Vista (unfortunately. Probably not helping with the problem).
I am aware that this is a common problem. I have *tried everything* I can find at the moment, when I plug it into a different laptop nothing happens.
- I download itunes 9 etc and suddenly it says "ERROR OCCURRED" or something, I don't remember the error message too well (sorry).
- This didn't surprise me, I am used to itunes/ipods messing up on me. So I wait a while, and download the new software again. It installs.
*- A screen on my ipod appears with the itunes logo, a usb cable and "itunes".*
- I connect the ipod to the laptop. Nothing happens. Vista pops up saying:
*'Windows needs to install driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)*
- Locate and Install driver software (recommended)
- > Ask me again later
- Don't show this message again for this device'
I click the first, it asks me for a disk {which obviously I don't have), when I click 'show me other options' it tells me it couldn't find driver software. Clicking on anything from here results in nothing or failure to find the driver or whatever.
*I've tried everything on this site including* rebooting, reinstalling, completely destroying any trace of itunes and associated programs on my computer (using Windows install cleanup too) and then installing again, manually disabling/enabling/repairing/everything else under the sun to the driver in the driver menu. The same thing happens every time.
So uh, any help? I've backed up everything on my harddrive so I'm open to practically anything. I'm so sick of errors with ipods, I've never had so much trouble with any other gadget ): Maybe I'm just cursed lol.

After hours of searching for a fix I may have found one on a Mac Forum. This worked for mine but I had to restore it from the last back up. I also gave me the option of restore to new condition (out of hte box) but Ichoose from the last backup that itunes made. It took about 4 hours to fully restore all my 24gb of material. BUT,Now it's working perfectly. For how long...who knows?
Here's the link to the page where I found the info. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=447185
Below is the solution that worked for my 2nd gen 32 gig.
"Originally Posted by vegas-steven
try and do this:
1. start itunes.
2. plug the ipod into your computer
3. hold the power (on top) and home (on front) buttons for a few seconds.
the ipod should power up, and if if is screwed up, will be in recovery mode... from there itunes will tell you that it finds your ipod in that mode, and needs to restore it.
just click restore, sit back and it should work again.
did you hack it at all?
if you did not hack it, and that doesnt work, call applecare and see what they say. maybe it is faulty?
still, from my experience with my friends ipod that i made 100% unusable, there is a way to restore even the most broken ipod as long as it has a battery charge.
i suspect a small portion of the memory is dedicated to keeping emergency boot files that allowe you to restore, no matter how bad things get."
