Modem script problem (I think!)

I am having a problem connecting to the Internet using an Apple modem. I upgraded to 10.4, after finding out the modem would not work with 10.3, and now there is a problem. When I attempt to connect, there are the usual 'noises', but then everything freezes and the noise changes somewhat. After a short period of time (about 3 or 4 minutes), the freeze quits and the attempt to connect continues, but is never successful. However, and this is the weirdest part, sometimes it does connect and works just fine! Unfortunately this only occurs about once in a great many tries. I checked the Console logs and they indicate that there is a problem with the script.
I am completely stumped - can anyone help out with some possible solutions?

Use Disk Utility to verify/Repair the HD, then Repair Permissions then reboot, if the problems persist try reinstalling the big Combo update...

[SOLVED] Pacman 3.5.1 and install script problem.

Hi, i'm currently maintaining dkms-nvidia package in AUR. After upgrading to pacman 3.5.1 install script doesn't work anymore. I have searched forum and some googled but i haven't got a clue. It was working with pacman 3.4.3 (i have skipped 3.5.0 release). Does something changed with 3.5.x release about install script handling? Here is the install script:

I have found the problem, i think. When i extracted my compiled dkms-nvidia package i get :

See the ".iNSTALL"? But when it comes to pacman package file is ".INSTALL". Also namcap throws a warning:

My older packges also have ".iNSTALL" but pacman-3.4.3 was taking care of it. Now it ignores install scriplets like these. It is either a makepkg bug or pacman bug. Any help or should i open a bug report?

Extremely slow internet... MAC's or modem's problem?!

My Macbook is only 1 week old, so I'm an absolute beginner at dealing with macs, please help! Thank you very much for reading
I have two houses, one with Verizon Fio modem (almost 1yr old), one with Verizon DSL (4-5yrs old), both with Linksys G Routers. The mac connects perfectly with Fio, yet when I go to my other house with DSL, everything went downhill.
When I first turn on the modem and the router, internet works fine for about 10 seconds, then it gradually slows down until I can no longer access internet. However, my family's Vistas and XP work just fine. I looked for solutions online, tried adding new DNS servers, tried turning off IPv6, nothing worked.
I called an Apple Expert, who told me to plug the modem directly into the mac. I turned off the modem + router, turned them on again, and connected the modem and the router to the mac, one at a time. At first my internet went back to normal speed, but after a while it slowed down again. I don't think connecting anything directly to the mac helped, the speed probably went back to normal just because I restarted the modem and the router.
According to the apple expert, the DSL has "gotten used to recognizing" the PCs, so when a new mac comes in, it cannot respond as well to it. He told me to call Verizon to get a new modem.
My dad is a computer programmer, and was quite doubtful of what apple told us. Over the past 5 years, the DSL has connected to 5-6 old and new PCs, but did not have any problems with them. If the modem really cannot respond well to new computers, then mine and my dad's 1 yr-old Vistas shouldn't work well with it, right? But they work perfectly fine.
Right now I have no idea what the problem is. It doesn't seem like the mac has any problem, because it connects well with other networks (as with the Fio). It doesn't seem like it's the modem's problem neither, because it connects fine with other old and new PCs.
I'm about to contact Verizon, but I'm very reluctant to get a new modem, especially when I'm not even sure if that's where the problem is...
Please help...THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You were told pure hogwash by that "expert." Whoever it was knows nothing about computers. "Getting used to" indeed. Only in the movies.

Your dad is smarter than that "expert"
Over the past 5 years, the DSL has connected to 5-6 old and new PCs, but did not have any problems with them. If the modem really cannot respond well to new computers, then mine and my dad's 1 yr-old Vistas shouldn't work well with it, right? But they work perfectly fine.
The issue you have is typical - XP, Tiger etc all connect OK but Leopard does not. The usual fix is to update the router firmware. You say the router is 4-5 years old. I suspect that is the problem. You have to find out how to update the firmware. My old Verizon DSL router had the same issues until I updated the firmware, back when I first installed Leopard. It was a Westell modem and I needed to use my PC to update the firmware.
Check with your DSL ISP or go to the website of the modem/router manufacturer and get the instructions and download and install the firmware update. If this does not solve your problem, it will eliminate the main culprit. It's also possible that the router is simply too old, period.

I have a problem with iPhone is that I can replace it at points of sale in the U.S. because I bought from Saudi Arabia because the problem I think in the hard ware software worked more than 3 times did not fix

dears,
I have a problem with iPhone is that I can replace it at points of sale in the U.S. because I bought from Saudi Arabia because the problem I think in the hard ware I do resoftware more than 3 times did not fix.
Network also always missing.
I am living in KS Wichita. I hope you help me pleas.
Regards.

iPhone warranty is not international. You will have to return your
iPhone to Saudi Arabia for repair/replacement. Either take it back
yourself or send to friend/relative for them to take to Apple. Apple
will not accept international shipments for repair nor will Apple
ship repaired/replaced iPhones out of the country where the repair
was done.

I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

Saved File Groups Issue in Bridge Center - script problem?

Hi all,
I tried posting this in the Bridge forum with no replies. After browsing through this forum I'm wondering if this is a script problem?
I have the CS2 premium, and use all packages. The problem I have is saving and retrieving files in the 'Saved File Groups' of Bridge Center. I can save Photoshop files no problem, but the idea is to be able to save other files from open applications in the group and then to recall them later. I can save Illustrator files with others in a group but only Photoshop files open, and it ignores the saved Illustrator files.
With my InDesign files, it does not even recognise them as files to be saved. I can have a file open, click on "Save open files into a file group" and it will come up with a little box saying there are no open files to save!
OS - XP sp2. Bridge 1.0.2
If this can be helped with scripting, please explain clearly, I am a graphic designer and no very little indeed about scripting.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Thysje Arthur

Hi,
Do you mean that Windows displays “Network Shortcuts” folder when you click “Browse” icon? If so, please check if you configure the default local file location to the “Network Shortcuts” folder. You could refer to the image below to find the option of the default
local file location.

My entire modem script folder is missing.

I'm trying to install a new modem script but the folder in my library is missing I have searched and it's nowhere to be found. I looked in library not there either. Is there some way to reinstall it?

I downloaded three new scripts and they are the only 3 that I will need. If possible I would like to install them and not all of the ones that came with OSX. I tried simply making a new folder labeled Modem Scripts in Library but it didn't work. When I go to sys prefs and click on modem them default modems are listed but not the new ones. Any ideas?
The easiest way would be to use Pacifist...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/1274

to search/extract them from your Install CD/DVD.
I find it in two hidden folders on my Tiger setup...
/Volumes/Machintosh HD/Library/Modem Scripts
/Volumes/Machintosh HD/System/Library/Modem Scripts

When I try to go to icloud I get 'script problem' and cannot enter. Could someone please advise me what to try. Thanks.

When I try to go to ilcoud I get 'script problem' and can't enter. Please advise what I should try. Thanks.

I use e-trade and a couple of times, years back, I found them behind the Java updates.
So, now I install new Java platforms on my backup disk and test the streaming data on that first because I know it will be over-written that evening with my nightly backup.
Of course, since I began doing that there hasn't been a problem. Do the same with printer driver updates.
Anyway, call ScottTrade and howl! Tell them how many Macs are out there and why aren't they in Apple Developers Program?

OS X Lion - JAVA SCRIPT PROBLEM

Would you please write some more details? explain the problem and what web site backend you use. Thanks.

Cannot find Modem Scripts folder under Liberary

I am to install a modem script for my Blackberry Bold 9000 phone. However, I cannot find the Modem Scripts folder under \Library folder, where it was supposed to be located. Yet I can still use my Sony Ericsson phone as a 3.5G Bluetooth modem accessing the Internet, which means there is the modem script working in my MacBook. Please advise how I can pinpoint the \Modem Scripts folder? Or should I just create one myself? Thanks very much

Are you sure you are looking in the root level Library folder & not in the Library folder in your home folder or in the /System/Library folder?
To be sure, in Finder, hold down the command & shift keys & tap the "g" key. In the dialog sheet that drops down, type in "/Library/" (without the quotes & press the return key or click the "Go" button. Do you now see /Library/Modem Scripts in the window?

6230i no modem found problem

When I try to connect to the internet through my mobile and DKU-5 cable it comes up 'no modem found'. When I go to Device manager it says the modem has a problem. Updating the driver just delivers an error message 'there was a problem installing this hardware...'
The annoying thing is it worked fine until I got an autmoatic update for the software. Since then I have had to sort the 'no available connection type' problem (solved with pc suite cleaner).
Anyone with any ideas how to solve the no modem found problem would be much appreciated.

How to access modem scripts?

I need to tether my blackberry with my mac, and i have a file to add to modem scripts. how do i do that? thanks

Double-click the hard drive icon on the desktop or single-click it in the sidebar, double-click the Library item, and then the Modem Scripts folder inside. If the window is in column view, single-click the folders instead. Alternatively, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide that as the path.

Firefox 31.0 - slowness and script problems for using websites

Since Firefox 31.0 is released, some technical problems of slowness and script problems to use
websites have been noticed from mine. Sometimes it needs up to some minutes to load a website
and sometimes there are error messages for an unanswered script.

Hello FredMcD,
thank you for your message.
But your answer to my question at support.mozilla.org is not helpful,
although it is a professional technical answer from a Top 10 Contributor
from mozilla.
It seems that there is a permanent unfixed problem always if a new
version of mozilla is released. After all fixed problems of the earlier
version of firefox, there is no problem at all.
But if I am already working with the non-problem earlier version of
firefox, then suddenly the problems of error messages, slowness and
script errors are appearing, and if I have looked for the actual version
of firefox, there was signed a new version and now I have known,
aha a new vesion of firefox was released and it needs up some time
for every new version until the error problems were fixed.
Maybe it is combined with the plugins like flashplayer or shockwave.
But a professional version of firefox should not sign up error messages,
because of plugins, while working with these plugins.
Another answer from another support.mozilla.member was for an
overload problem, because of opening some windows of firefox.
But to open many windows of firefox was already no problem with the
earlier version firefox 30.0 or earlier, until the error messages are fixed.
The same unfixed problems are since firefox 25.0 up to 30.0, but I was
wondering for how long version 30.0 was actual in practical working.
And since version of firefox 31.0 was released the same problems
of error messages, slowness and script errors were appearing.
At the moment it seems firefox 31.0 works alright.
But only the following time shows if it works without error messages,
slowness and sript problems or not.
In hope to give a helpful answer to yours
kind regards

I keep getting adobe script problems. I have 3.6.13 version and have never had this problems with prior versions

I can't find a solution to the adobe flashplayer that is associatied with Firefox. I keep getting script problems and am asked to either continue or ignore the problem. I've been a long-time user of Firefox and have never had any problems with Firefox or any associated programs (plug-ins) and so this is a surprise to me. I checked the version of the flashplayer and find that I have the most current version; so I'm not sure what's going on.
