MAX communication hangs after Standby Mode(with GPIB PCMCIA)

I have a IBM Laptop with MAX 2.2 and a GPIB PCMCIA Card installed. After booting the computer I can communicate with GPIB instruments without problems. After I get the Laptop out of a Standby Mode, MAX can not make any connection to GPIB devices; when I scan for Instruments it hangs as well.
The troubleshooting wizard tells me: one or more GPIB interfaces failed.
Does anyone have the same problems or solutions ?

On the NI-488.2 2.0 download page it is mentioned that that driver does not support standby mode. No such mention is made on the download page for NI-488.2 version 1.7 (which I need to use for my PCMCIA-GPIB interface), although the 1.7 release shows very much the same problem: After stand-by, communication with the GPIB port is no longer possible.
The Visual Basic example tool for preventing stand-by may help those users who are familiar with VB, but it does not help me.
Frankly - what I'd like to see is an improved NI-488.2 version that does support stand-by. Does NI consider providing such an upgrade/patch?

Processor speed after Standby Mode

I have the T400 with Windows XP (32bit). Dual P8600 2.4GHz processors & 3GB memory. Fairly new computer so there is plenty of space.
I run a macro out of Excel every day. When I run the program it takes about 15 to 20 mins and Excel struggles to move. This is normal with this laptop and it is annoying. I found that there have been times when the program runs fast as it should - fast as in 4 minutes. Processing speed is clearly faster but all programs are the same. I have also come to realize today that it runs faster after it comes out of Standby Mode. If I shut down and then re-start the computer and then run the program out of Excel it takes 20 minutes. If I start up, then go to standby then come out and run the program it runs in 4 minutes.
What would cause this? Is there some background process that stops after Standby that would allow the processors to perform as they should?
Thanks

is your CPU throttling down. Download HWinfo32 and check the cpu speed when the excel is running slow (the 20 minutes).
also are you running the laptop with the battery inserted? and do you have the latest thinkvantage power manager installed? what version of the bios firmware are you running?

Problems with GPIB-PCMCIA card

Hi all
I am using a PCMCIA-GPIB with driver version 2.2 on a Windows XP with a PCI-to-PCMCIA Adapter from Ricoh (device manager says: Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475II,R5C520 or compatible cardbus controller).
The Win XP detects the card without any problems and there are no resource conflicts.
However, I cannot communicate with GPIB devices and the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard says:
1. NI-488.2 Software Presence = verified
2. GPIB Hardware Presence =
And then a new screen: "The trouble shooting wizard has detect that no GPIB interfaces are configured on your system"
Can someone help me? There are no resource conflicts and I have also tried changing the PCI slot. The same problem also occurred when I installed the card in
another computer.
Regards,
Juan"

Hello Juan,
the first thing I would do is to check that the board is working OK. You will need a laptop to test it.
Once this is confirmed (if not, contact NI for a repair), it can be safely attributed to some incompatibility with the adapter.
At that point, I would check with Ricoh as they may have an updated driver for their board that fixes the issue, or they may have an idea on what's going on. Another thing would be to check your PCs BIOS configuration and see if any setting may help into solving the incompatibility (PCI settings, IRQs, bus-mastering, etc..)
As side suggestions, although I don't feel this will be the issue:
a)it's always advisable to use the latest version on the driver software -NI-488.2-, available at the web
b)check for an updat
e to the motherboard's BIOS at the manufacturer's site.
Regards,
JorgeM.

Connection to Windows 2008 Server via SMB hangs after standby

After boot or reboot, I can easily "connect to server" in finder to the Windows Server 2008 machine via smb://hostname. The network and shares work good without connection drops.
However, when my Macbook resumes from standby or hibernation, the mounts do not reconnect, and the connected server in finder keeps reconnecting until the connecting failed message appears. When trying to unmount the smb server, finder hangs from time to time. When trying to reconnect via "connect to server" using either IP address or hostname, the connecting window with the moving bar appears, but never succeeds. The only option is to reboot the machine to be able to reconnect to the windows server and mount some shares.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks!

I've been having exactly the same issue on my iMac-- very frustrating. I'm not aware of a permanent cure yet, but on my system I usually can avoid a full reboot by turning my Airport/wireless on for a few seconds, and then off again. The Windows shares become visible again after doing so. (My normal state is wired network only, with Airport off.)

T500 hangs after standby/hibernate HELP There has to be many who have this issue

There has to be alot of people with this issue. It has happened now on every T500 we bought (5) and cannot figure out why.
When the pc is dock or not - leave it alone, it goes to standby, come back and hit Cntrl/Alt/Del, desktop show up, no icons, mouse moves but no controls work. Cannot do anything. If I try Hibernate or Sleep that works but it just comes back to the same spot and hangs there.
Anyone have this and figure out what it is / how to fix ?
Jimbo

I have a T500 with no fingerpint feature and using Vista 32 bit. If I have my power management settings enable for any hibernation, I am not able to get the machine out of Hibernation. It just sites there with the half moon lit up. FUNCTION F4 is supposed to wake the machine. The only way I have found to get control back is the hold the Power button down for a long time to shut down then restart. Which doesn't seem like a good thing to do.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do to get the PC to get out of hibernation mode?

Pavilion A6750F hangs after new drive with Windows 7 64 install. Suggestions?

Pavilion A6750F new hard drive with clean install of Windows 7 64. The system will hang on many screens from IE to Outlook 2003. If I wait, they will correct themselves. The Bios is version 5.13, but I do not see an update available.

Hi,
There might be several items to check. Open the RUN window and enter: MSCONFIG
Make that the boxes under the Advanced TAB are unchecked.
It's very possible since you installed a new hard drive that the hard drive is faultly. Recheck the sata cables and run some bios diagnostics.
Open the RUN Window and enter the following command: chkdsk
Open my Computer and right mouse click on the hard drive --> properties --> Tools --> Check now
What is the make and model of the new hard drive?

PowerBook G4 hangs after install/reboot with Combo Mac OS X 10.5.8 update

I've got a Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz. It had Mac OS X 10.5.4 installed.
Then I went to Software Update and it downloaded the Combo software 10.5.4 and after it rebooted, it is stuck at "Installing 2 items, Configuring installation."
You can see the progress bar pulsating but it's stuck and I dont hear any hard drive activity. I had to hard power down and got back in and did Software Update again and after it rebooted, same issue.
Whats up with that?

Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Problems after sleep mode with wifi connection

I got my first iMac the other week but i keep having problems after it has gone into Sleep Mode.
Once i log back in to use my iMac again i can't seem to go online =and have lost connectivity with emails etc. Its showing that i'm still connected to my wifi and the only way to fix it is to restart.
I have already connect chat support about this and the made me reset my PRAM and reset the systems management controller (SMC)
Does anyone have any ideas??

Personally I don't let the computer sleep, I set the display to sleep. This has the same net effect and in the 8+ years I have been using OS X I have never had a problem. Set the Computer's sleep setting to Never and set the display sleep to the amount of time you had the computer sleep set at.
However if you want to try with computer sleep instead of display sleep check if the wake for network access box is checked. If it already is they your issue is likely somewhere else.

Server connections are lost after sleep mode with Mavericks.

Ever since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, when I "wake" my iMac after putting it in Sleep mode, the network connections have disconnected and I have to re-connect all of them (6) every day. This never happened with Mountain Lion or any other previous version of OS X. Is there a fix for this?

I've also noticed this problem. Brand new MBP with Mavericks, goes to sleep, on wakeup all my network drives are disconnected, as is Outlook 2011. None of them recover gracefully - I have to manually reconnect. Aggravating..

MBP hangs after login screen with Circle with line through it

Recently, my MBP (Model A1278, MB990LL/A) started doing the "folder with blinking question mark" at start up as if it couldn't find the startup disk.
I held Option at startup and chose the Macintosh HD that it found. After selecting, it brings me to my username/login. I type in the PW and hit enter and the screen turns gray and I see the Apple logo in the middle with spinning gear below it. (All good so far, as this sequence is the same sequence as my other MBP). After about 1min of gear spinning though, the Apple logo changes to a Circle with a line through it. It never logs in and I never see the desktop.
Troubleshooting I've done:
1. Pulled out the HDD, plugged it up to my OTHER MBP and ran Disk Utility on the whole drive. Found no errors.
2. Put the HDD in question in my OTHER MBP and booted into my user account just fine. All the way to Desktop, no problems.
3. Took my WORKING HDD from my OTHER MBP and put it in the MBP in question and tried to boot, did the same thing. Circle with line after logging in.
4. Tried to run Apple Hardware Test from boot cd by holding D but nothing happens. Just gray screen to infinity.
5. Replaced the trackpad from my OTHER MBP just for fun
Any ideas? I'm usually pretty good at this stuff, but this one has me stumped.
Thank you!!!

No luck. I can't do a Safe Reboot, nor can I reset the NVRAM/PRAM. When I power on either 1 of 2 things happen. A) Nothing, grey screen until folder with flashing question mark or B) When it decides to, it finds my HDD and goes to login screen but after entering pw and hitting submit, I get the Apple logo for a minute then replaces with a Circle w/ Line.
Can't hold Shift at reboot, can't hold c to boot from DVD (have to hold Option and choose DVD), can't hold D and boot the Apple Hardware Test DVD.
Does anyone know of a way to reset the NVRAM/PRAM manually? Is there a CMOS battery like on a windows PC or something similar that I can remove to reset? Command+Option+P+R does not work, it reads that I've pressed Option and gives me the Startup Disk Manager screen to select a drive to boot from.
Thanks

After Market Mods with unibody

Hey, I was wondering what I would do if I wanted to replace may current Hard drive with a larger one. Im running low on space. I'm also interested in upping my RAM. If I wanted to make these mods, would I just purchase the RAM and the new Hard Drive and take it into the Mac store? Would they swap everything out for me? With the new Unibody design, It makes it hard to do these types of things...

The unibody design makes it easier, actually. Previous MBPs required opening the top case (exposing the logic board, etc.) for an HDD replacement. Apple actually considers the HDD in the uMBPs to be user-replaceable, and they provide instructions starting on p. 37 of the manual.
Apple Stores will not perform an HDD swap for you. They might install RAM, but many will not. You can do it yourself, or if you'd prefer, go to an AASP (instead of an Apple Store) - they will swap HDD and add RAM, even if you buy your own.

IPhone 5 battery draining after iOS 6.0.2 update even on standby mode without wifi/ 3G at all.

My newly bought iPhone 5 was on iOS 6.0.1
everything worked fine and i had no wifi nor battery issues at all until I upgraded it to iOS 6.0.
i noticed some battery drainage even when i'm not using my phone at all it still drains 1-2% on standby mode with no wifi nor 3G at all in an hour,
If i use wifi it'll drain 4-5% in a few minutes time, more serious case when i use 3G, it's literally draining in EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.

Per designed, Wi-Fi will disconnect in sleep mode to save battery.
If you want Wi-Fi to stay connected even in sleep mode, plugin to a wall power socket.
No it's not "per design". It's not supposed to disconnect when locked/in sleep mode. The whole concept of having live notifications to work when your phone is locked is the standard for smartphones. Having this feature only accessable when pluging/charging the phone is rediculous and counter-productive. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one who has this issue. I hope all our issues are solved swiftly, good luck to you all

Satellite Pro A300 - After standby the mouse stops working

Hi all,
Really hope you can help me out wiht this problem as I believe I have tried anything I know and my next step is formating the whole computer again and still not knowing if it will work this time, as this is what I just did, when upgrading to win 7.
I have 2 problems:
When computer goes on standby and I start it backup - the mouse stops working, unless i move it to another usb-port. I get a message aswell about usb can perform faster...
Another problem is a program freezing at this point aswell, this program is Oracle JDeveloper, do not know if this has any relevance??
I have tried updating EVERY driver from toshibas webpage- theese problems still occur...
Please help!
Would rather not format again...!
// Christian

Hi
Can you please tell us what Windows 7 version you have installed? I mean if you have 32bit or 64bit.
Is this right that you are using an external mouse?
Does the touchpad work after standby mode? If yes I think its something wrong with the external mouse maybe.
By the way: Make sure that you are using newest BIOS version. You can find it on the Toshiba page.
And regarding the Oracle question I think you should contact the Oracle support directly. ;)

Satellite L650-16W - Fan doesnt (re)start after standby

Hello i own a Satellite L650-16W and after standby-mode the fan doesnt start again. So the temperature increases untill a reboot is necessary. After the reboot the fan works correctly again. I own this notebook for about 4 month and at the beginning this problem didnt appear.
Ive tried to update the bios but it seems to be the actual version. And i dont find any options to put the fan manually on again. So maybe anybody has got the same problem or a solution.
Thanks for your help.

Bios reflash is a a little bit tricky procedure and if it goes wrong you will get a black screen. Note, the warranty doesn't cover bios reflash failure. Go to the toshiba driver page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and choose the right Bios for your model
If Bios version on toshiba driver page is the same with installed one yoyr lap, download it anyway and run it. Read carefully instructions how to reflash it:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60
you may get a message while reflashing the current version is already installed....
Anyway, before all, I advise to restore the factory settings to be sure that isn't OS related issue.
