More drops than dubstep, Last mile ISP issues.

Hi, my family has been using the Verizon DSL service for a few years now, and over the course of thispast month we've had random intervals of connectivity issues. It lasts from anywhere from like a few minutes to hours or even days at a time, with little warning as to why.
At first I though it was the modem, so I tested the line with three different ones,
The Verizon supplied Westell 327w
A Cisco 1700 series modular router w/ DSL modem
A netgear DSL modem
I would be testing a 4th but I'm still waiting on the modem we are still waiting on as part of the 2 year plan we signed up for...
Phone lines re-pulled from the line comming into the house to the room with the modem(s)
Modems tested in other working verizon enviroments with no trouble.
before this issue even started the Verizon DNS servers where timing out and unresponsive.
I know there is no 100% uptime promise, but 30% would be nice...

#1 With your Westel 327w, visit http://192.168.1.1/ for me and do the following:
a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over Troubleshooting, go to DSL, and choose Transceiver Statistics. Copy and Paste the information on that page.
b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics. Copy and Paste the information on that page.
c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.
d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
admin/Serial Number
By Serial Number, I don't mean type in the words Serial Number. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.
#2 Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.

"Last Month" in RECENT shows a lot more photos than just last month's photo

For some reason when I select "Last Month" in RECENT (on the left) I get a lot more photos than just last month, it seems like just about all the photos from the current year!
Any one else running into this problem?
By the way, my library was originally created using iPhoto '07 and I upgraded when iLife '08 came out.

Indeed that is the case but it sounds to me like a bug and not a feature.
I agree - but since this is just a user forum that is all I can do
report to Apple -- iphoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback - they can change it

My iMac crashes more often than my last Windows PC

I cannot be the only one with this problem.....
A few times per day, my iMac becomes gray and tells me to hold in the power button, and then restart. Whenever this happens, I lose any work I am doing when this occurs. In fact, it did it while I was initially typing this. I had to restart the process all over again.
What is the solution? Has Apple come up with a fix, but they have not sent it out to the public?
Help!!!
I'm considering using my new 24' iMac as a boat anchor if this goes on too much longer.

Just a personal suspicion, but maybe your machine is getting cooked...
If I don't force the fans to speed up, my PowerSupply hits 71C, just browsing and editing...!
With games my GPU has hit 78C...!
You may want to install iStatPro or iStatNano (search apple's site) and check temps.
For a single user setup, SMCFanControl will let you change the fans to one of several new speeds.
Recommendations from a previous thread is:
ODD: 1000-1100
HDD: 1700-1800
CPU: 1500-1600
I run CPU over 2000-2400 for 2D games... jury is still out on 3D games...
FanControl 1.2 is a dynamic solution for Mac laptops; I'm rewriting it for my iMac...work in progress...
Latest version of SMCFanControl that I know of is 2.1.2.

Or just ask.com for SMCFanControl 2.1.2

When I plug in a Lexar thumb drive, I get a "USB Low Power Notice' saying it cannot operate because it needs more power than is available. This is new. Thumb drives worked last week. Any suggestions? Is this an apple or a Lexar issue?

Apple intentional, use a powered USB hub instead.

Issue with opening a site in SharePoint Designer 2010 -The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.

I have a SharePoint site which I am trying to open in SPD 2010, I am getting the following error(some of my team members are able to open)
The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.
These are the ways I tried
1) Earlier I have MS office 32 bit and SPD 32 bit, I uninstalled them and installed both 64 bit versions
2) I uninstalled restarted my machine and installed it again still no use.
3) I installed SPD 2010 Service Pack 2 of 64 bit
4) I uninstalled the SPD 2010 and opened the site—site actions—edit page in SPD , then it asked me to install SPD 2010, then I installed and tried to open the same site, again same error.
How to solve this issue?
I checked permissions also at that site level – I have full control like others. I don’t have access to Central Admin so where else I can check the permission settings?

Please update us SharePoint version

Sender JDBC adapter SELECT / UPDATE issue - updates more rows than selected

Hi,
We have configured a Sender JDBC Adapter to poll records from an Oracle table based on a flag field and then update the flag for the selected records. When tested in DEV and QA environments (where test data comes in intermittently and not in huge volumes), itu2019s working fine.
Both SELECT and UPDATE queries written in the Sender JDBC adapter are getting properly executed and are changing the status of the flag for the selected records from Y to N once read from the database.
select * from <table> where flag = 'N'.
update <table> set flag = 'Y' where flag = 'N'.
But in the PROD environment (with records getting updated in the database every second), after XI executes the SELECT query and just before the UPDATE query is executed, new records come into the Oracle table with status flag 'N". So when the UPDATE query runs just after the SELECT query, then these unselected records also get updated to 'Y'. Thus these records never get into the resultset and hence XI and thus remain unprocessed.
So when XI does a SELECT and UPDATE on the Oracle DB table and concurrently there is an INSERT happening into the table from the other end, the JDBC sender adapter is picking up a certain number of records but updating the status of more records than it picked up.
So how does XI deal with such a common scenario without dropping records?
Thanks,
Vishak

The condition being checked is the same for both SELECT and UPDATE statements.
Initially I tried setting transaction isolation levels on the database to repeatable_read and serializable but it was throwing me a java.sql.SQLException error saying that these transaction levels were not valid.
I asked for these transaction level permissions for the XI user from my DBA but the DB I am accessing provides only a view into other databases and so it's not possible.

I use itunes on a Dell XPS502 with W7/64. In some cases have have problems to import CD's. The sound is very disturbed and the import need a lot more time than in normal cases. Is there a problem between itunes W7/64 or a known hardware issue?

Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
What can I do??

hi b noir,
I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use. Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Syncing photos from more than the last 20 iPhoto events?

How can I sync more than the last 20 iPhoto events with my iPhone?
When I select folders instead of events I can get more photos (ex: last 12 months) to my iPhone but at the same time I no longer have access to the "events" view which I use to organize my photos.
Is there a solution to sync/copy more than 20 events to my iPhone?

For whatever the reason, syncing iPhoto Events is limited.
I make use of iPhoto albums in addition to Events - primarily for transferring photos to my iPhone.

I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me.

I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

Thunderbolt updates do more harm than good

When I got the Thunderbolt on the release date I was lucky enough to get a phone that was functioning perfectly. I didn't have any connection or reboot errors that were being reported from launch. Then came the first update a few months ago...suddenly my phone starts to reboot itself 3+ times a day and dropping phone calls randomly. Verizon kept telling me to wait it out there's an update coming that will fix the reboot issues and all will be right with the world. Well I got the update last week and while my phone hasn't rebooted on its own, my phone no longer holds the network. The new update added a toggle so that I can choose to use the 4g network or just 3g and while it holds the 4g network nice and strong, when I set it to only 3g (because I prefer my phone to make it through the day without having to charge every 20 minutes) it drops the network every few minutes and takes sometimes up to a half hour of reboots and toggling to get it to reconnect...only to disconnect again a few minutes later. So far verizon is 0 for 2 with updates. They seem to cause more problems than they fix.

I do not see a positive outcome when a user install a firmware update / bugfix over a already configured device, the update has to update a large amount of files and if a app makes it not possible to access a required file this can make a good update go way bad, try a hard rest and see if this resolves your issue.

Verizon wirelss seems to have more drop areas and less coverage in the Spokane area. Why is that?

I have been a Verizon wireless customer for many years. This last year or so I have found more and more light coverage areas and have had more dropped calls than in the previous five. I have had to consider moving to another carrier. Does anyone know of why Verizon coverage has become worse and are others experiencing the same thing?

Thanks for filling us in on a few more details! There are definitely many factors that can contribute to changes in service. Builging materials, terrain, number of customers trying to use the phone nearby, even signal boosters can all have a different effect on your coverage in an area. The Network Extender http://vz.to/IHRT6h is intended to help with both voice and 3G data inside of a home and there is not a 4G LTE version (calls are not placed over LTE services in most cases).
If the purchase of a Network Extender hasn't helped inside your home, we do need to take a few troubleshooting steps to see why. When you place a call, do you hear the short tones before the call connects indicating you're connected to the Network Extender? What type of home internet connection do you have? What model router is the extender connected through?

Is the Black MacBook any more durable than the white version.

The way I have it figured, a black shelled book is $155.00 more expensive than a comparably custom configured white book when ordered online. I like the black better, but maybe not 150+ dollars better. Any tangible advantage to getting a black model?
Advice? Opinions?
Thanks!

I opted for the white first cause it is some kind of Apple's flag and i love to stand from the crowd of dark PCs while at business meetings
Second, I noticed that the Black has troubles with fingerprints and skin oils while the white is not affected.
Last but not least, 150 bucks saved means more RAM or Hard Disk...
I suffered some weeks ago of the discoloration issue, but being in the return-period yet I sent the Mac Book back to Mother Apple and since last week got a new one that so far is perfect... lets cross fingers.
The Black major price is basically a marketing move that seems to pay off for Apple, since I am sure they do not have to pay 150 dollars more to produce any single black unit.

Why Mac pro is better & more expensive than IMac?!

can you advice me on this:
tell me which one is more practical and powerful for 3D rendering and animation?! why?!
and why Mac pro is more expensive than IMac?! even though numbers in IMac are higher than Mac pro.......
IMac:
          - 27-inch
          - 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
          - 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
          - 2TB Serial ATA Drive
          - AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
or
Mac pro:
Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (12 cores)
12GB (6X2GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive

Apparently you don't fathom or realize what I said:
Better value: Mac Pro 6-core 3.33GHz. You can buy base and throw in W3680.
You can buy a single 6-core like that from Apple and pay $900 more.
I do not recommend 12-core.
I do not recommend the slower 2.66 processor
I do recommend avoiding the 2009 model.
Better off starting with the 2.8 4-core and go from there.
Ivy Bridge socket LGA2011 will have a lot of other features making them the "to die for" but no one knows and I for one would not want to be on cutting edge with any chipset or new revision. Seriously, Apple has always had issues with first silicon whether 2011 MBP or iMac or 2008/2009 Mac Pro. And always takes a couple OS updates. And then things break. And then software has to catch up.
A slower 12-core is not going to future proof. It is going to cost more and not deliver.
For last year we've all been seeing and saying 6 x 3.33.
why I sent you link to MPG site.

How to add more drop zones or movies in an idvd menu

I was building a dvd in idvd and ran out of drop zones to fill but I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones.
I tried different templates but I could find none that had more than 12 drop zones.
Then I was adding movies to the main menu and idvd refused to allow more movies added when I reached 10 movies. It said that the template did not accept more movies.
I tried a few other templates and could not get it to accept more.
I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
Is there some way to add more than the default drop zones in an idvd template and to add more movies in a menu without having to use submenus?
Thanks for any advice.

I couldn't figure out how to add more drop zones
Sorry, the templates 'are what they are'.
I don't want to add submenus because the movies being used do not lend themselves to being put into different submenus.
You need to figure out how to work with what is available.
If you want more freedom, buy Apple's Final Cut Studio and learn to use DVD Studio Pro.
