More Stable?! Nope.

Isn't Safari 4 in Snow Leopard supposed to be more stable than in Leopard? Then how come it's crashed several times since I upgraded to Snow Leopard on Aug 31? It rarely crashed in Leopard. What is going on?

Hi Andrew ...
The only thing I can think of is ... DO, you have any 3th party plug-ins installed that are NOT compatible with Snow Leopard.
Check the Internet Plug-ins folder if there are any ... if so, drag them to your desktop and try Safari again.
When Safari is running without any problems than drag the back - one by one.
Every time you drag a plug-in back to the Internet Plug-ins folder you have to test it again with Safari.
This means a lot of quitting and re-launches with Safari browser.

I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phyllis

I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
Connect Using = Ethernet (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

Which driver more stable???

which driver more stable???
before i used msi cd (default driver 84.66),but i find got problem ,the system suddenly restart,any one got this problem or not??
now i using 91.33 is ok....any one got other driver or can suggest a good driver for me ,plz..
thanks...
and nforce driver ,which is stable ??ver 7.13 or 7.15??can i used nforce 570,or 590 SLI intel edition or not???
thanks

from my experiance with 7900GTX , the nvidia's 9x.xx series is a piece of crap, I am using 84.21 which gives me 15% more FPS than 91.33..
Regarding the PC restart issue.. it might not be the driver problem, it could be a heat problem or even a small screw hanging in your PC case can cause a short circut & for the system to sudden restart (It happend to me once)..
Have a nice day...

Which is more stable for Encore: XP 64 bit, or Vista 64 bit?

Which is more stable for Encore: XP 64 bit, or Vista 64 bit?
Any thoughts on this, most appreciated!
Thanks,
-Stuart

If Encore CS4's transcoder can run on more than one thread (and if you of course have a multicore system), then I'd say yes. Otherwise, probably no advantage.
I don't use Vista 64, so I don't know whether there are any disadvantages.

Is E65 more stable than a MICROSOFT phone?

When I bought my phone I wanted a phone with more funcinalities than a convetional one (email, Internet, 3G, GPS software, etc) so I had two possibilites:
1.- Buy a phone based on Microsoft OS (such HTC, Imate, etc)
2.- Buy a Nokia phone based in SYMBIAN.
I decided to go to a NOKIA because I thougt that it was going to be more stable than the Microsoft BUT now I can see that it is not true.
My first E65 has the keypad with the light broken. I changed it and got a new one. Now it´s reboot a couple of times a day (somedays up to 4 times). Sometimes it reboot without reason (the phone over the table) and other times it makes when I´m in a call. In NOKIA service they told me to disconet the 3g, but it doesn´t help to solve the problem.
Other times, the Explorer close alone when I´m in internet (I heared that the phone gets without memore and has to close the program, Stupid!!!).
My friends with MICROSOFT have some problems, but they are less than the NOKIA and NEVER has the phone hung during a call!!!.
I hope the problem to be solved by a firmware version but we have to wait NOKIA to decide that the phone has problems.....

Which firmwar version do you have?. I have the 1.0633.18.01. RM-208. Perhaps the problem is a firmware version.
My phone reboot automacally and it makes a lot of times during a call. That is very frustating. I´ve heared in other forums and in this forum that those stability problems are common in this phone.
There could be 3 reason for the problem:
1.- Firmware problem: Very easy to solve by Nokia. I believe that it is the cause of the problem (too many posts with stability problem to a hard problem)
2.- Hardware bug of this model: That is imposible to solve. The doubt is that there are people that don´t have any problem (as you).
3.- Hardware problem in this unit: If it is the cause I have to send it to NOKIA and be without my bussines phone for 20 days. That´s mean no blackberry mail, no contact (I have almost 1000 and there isn´t any tradicional phone or SIM that support that amount...)
In the past I had a Imate SP3 with windows and didn´t had any problem with it (some times it makes strange but never interrumped me a call).
So everybody can see that I´m "very happy" with this phone...
PLEASE, NOKIA, PUBLISH NEW FIRMWARE FOR THE PHONE THAT SOLVE PROBLEMS.

What you waiting for a more stable Windows 64 bits version (aurora or beta)?

I use Firefox nightly 64bits because it run faster than 32 bits versions and all my plugin work well with it but each time firefox 64 bits become mature and the version change to "aurora", you don't release a "aurora" 64 bits version or any more stable versions and all return to point zero. All platforms have a 64bits version but not Windows (Windows is 64 bits since 2004). What you waiting for?

Well the old VPN Client was the ONLY IPsec remote access VPN client that Cisco offered. So they wouldn't need to say "we recommend this one vs. that one" would they?
Any migration needs to take into account new features and potential issues with the new client software. So you would need to confirm your VPN head end type, version, licensing, etc. Decide whether you want to use IKEv2 or sSL transport. Decide how you want to deploy the client software. Decide whether you want to make any changes to the features deployed given the expanded range of capabilities offered by AnyConnect, etc.
Hope this helps. Please rate helpful posts.

Is Apple Mail more stable than Entourage? which mail client do I want?

I can't take Microsoft Entourage (2008) any more - the constant garbling of the enormous single database file (and the database "repairs" which always seem to lose data) are driving me crazy. Our institution is going to upgrade to Exchange 2007 (or perhaps 2010) in a few weeks, and I need to move to a more stable client. I'm running the latest 10.6. Can someone advise me: do I want Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or something else? My criteria are:
1) I need to be able to access the Exchange server's email, Calendar, and Addressbook, but not necessarily with the same application.
2) I have a very large database of emails - 22 Gigs or so, and I need to be able to view and search them all. So,
3) which client will make migration from Entourage easiest/most reliable?
4) which one is the most stable, so that this huge (and growing database) won't get corrupted? It's insane that one bad action can ruin the whole thing. Surely there are clients that store emails separately so that even if something gets damaged, the whole thing isn't munged... Is Apple Mail pretty bulletproof for large databases?
5) is there any way with Apple Mail or anything else to control (or at least see) what gets deleted/copied to the server? With Entourage, I never know whether my stuff is getting deleted off the server or not (no way to specify "1-way sync" or even see a log of what it deleted, like appointments etc.).
Any hints greatly appreciated!
thank you,
Mike Levin

but it doesn't seem possible that 22 GB of that data is live.
Either that, or you get an awful lot of attachments.
it's live in the sense that I search through it often. It's not kept on the server though - most of it is in local folders (which also get trashed when the database gets corrupted). I do get some attachments, and it's emails since 1989 or so.
You have done rebuilds of the database I see, but I don't recall if that
function gets rid of deleted items. When you delete files from the Deleted
Items folder, they don't actually go anywhere. They just get moved to a hidden
So if you've never compressed the data, a very large portion of your Entourage
database could just be old deleted items. Close Entourage and Option+launch it
to get the Database Utility. Use the "Compact database" choice on your file.
This will remove all fully deleted items from the database.
interesting!! I'll try this for sure.
thanks,
Mike

IOS 7 : when will this version more "stable"

I did the mistake to install the new IOS7 and I'm very disapointed.
The system is very slow, a lot of deconexion from the wifi, the white color is "everywhere" on the screen, no research in this design... Very disapointed from Apple on this one.
I read that we can't go back to the previous version, is it true ?
When I'm on a website and I'm reading something, I see the text "under the toolbar of favorites" ... Is it normal ? If so, it's awful and not practical.
When I'm reading something or displaying my screen upwards, the taskbar on the bottom (to activate the bluetooth, use the system audio,...) always appears and it's very ****.
I want the previous version back !! Or a more stable IOS7 and it's very urgent !
Ps : Sorry for my English but it's not my original language

Backgrading from 7 to 6 isn't possible.

Overall faster and more stable when starting fresh

I got tired of the slow and crashing issues after I upgraded to the new firmware and installed new apps. I decided to restore the phone to "factory" settings (1st gen iPhone). But this time, instead of restoring from a previous backup, I selected the first option, which is to setup a new one.
All the settings were reset, but I guess starting out with a new slate, everything feels much more stable and faster. Any comments on this?
I guess once in a while, it's a good idea to format your hard drive and install everything from scratch : )

Hi Thewisestarfish,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Mac is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Anybody else notice that the camera seems a bit more stable?

Maybe I am just being hopeful but I have snapped 2000+ pics with my iphone and now it seems to be a bit more stable on images....
Any thoughts?

Significantly more stable for me.

Is Aperture more stable w/ larger libraries (esp. Faces)?

I have a large library of nearly 30,000 photos that has been with me essentially since 2005. I've made several attempts at going through and tagging faces, but continue to find iPhoto slow and that it occasionally forgets faces that I've tagged. I've gone through events as many as three times only to come back in a few months to find that there are faces that I *know* I tagged showing up as untagged.
I'm wondering if Aperture's more professional nature and that it's developed on a more modern 64 bit codebase would mean that it would be more stable with Faces in larger libraries? This is my personal photo library, but I am quite familiar with Apple's more professional offerings in Final Cut Pro X, which I use nearly daily.

+1 to William's post. I kept Faces off until 3.1.3 (iirc). It's been stable since then. Afaict, if you don't use Faces even though it is enabled, it doesn't slow you down much (and then, only at import). On large Libraries (more than 100,000 Images) Faces runs a little bit slow. When using Faces, it is best to use it at the Project(s) level rather than the Library level. (Léonie has posted some helpful hints on the forum -- try a search.) And of course many problems and confusions can be avoided by reading the User Manual. Here is the section on Faces.
All-in-all, I find it only moderately more useful than simply keywording Images with the names of people in them.
IME, it has been completely reliable since I turned it on (no lost or misplaced data). I suggest running "Repair" and perhaps even "Rebuild" on your Library before turning Faces on. Back-up first (always, but just a precaution; I have yet to hear of a single case of Libraries being vitiated by either action.)

Why is Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 faster and more stable than Firefox 3.6.8

a)Why is Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 faster and more stable than Firefox 3.6.8.
Firefox 3.6.8 repeatedly crashes and the message details are Plugins/Plugin Basket!!!
The original Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 is not only faster but does not crash?
b) Why are there NO security updates for Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3?

Namoroka is the nightly tester version of what will become the next Firefox release, and it is up to - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9pre) Gecko/20100813 Namoroka/3.6.9pre ID:20100813042130 - right now.
If you are having problems with the Plugin Container in 3.6.8, you will probably have the same problems with 3.6.9pre, too.
The first thing you should do is to update to the latest "86" release that came put this past Thursday.

How can I make my CP modules more stable and reliable?

We've recently rolled out a major compliance training module to our whole company. It was quite a large project about 13mb when published, including audio. It was delivered via the latest version of Saba. Some users had no problems with it - it ran as it was designed to, but at least 150 users experienced quite major problems:
Slides would stick for no apparent reason forcing them to close and restart
Submit buttons would behave erratically
Everything ran very slowly
The simple answer would be to say yes it was too large to run in a stable predictable manner, but colleagues who put together a simple 10 question multi-choice quiz, with no graphics or audio have experienced similar issues.
The result was some very unfavorable feedback and we'll have to work hard to win back the trust of the people who were affected.
Chances are it's linked to our IT infrastructure, but I really don't know where to start with that. The LMS and content servers are based in the US and we're based in the UK. Has anyone had similar experiences - what did you do?
Most of the project was put together in Powerpoint 07 then converted into CP4, I'm now using CP5 and can see that there really is no need to use PowerPoint anymore, except for speed and familiarity. So is there any evidence/experience to suggest that converting .ppts is less stable, larger file size and worse practice than creating everything from scratch in CP5?
Where can I find best practices for increasing the odds of delivering stable learning experiences for my users?
Sorry lots of questions for one post - but I'm looking more for useful pointers than definitive answers!
Thanks
Sam

Everytime I've had issues like this it's been due to latency in the LMS handling the volume of requests from the course modules. It's the luck of the draw when people have these issues because it just depends on how many things are competing for the LMS's attention at the time.
If you get an opportunity to log into the LMS server box and watch the Task Manager while the LMS is being hit you may see the CPU max out due to the load. At this point some users will be experiencing what appears like sticking screens as Captivate waits to hear back from the LMS after it has sent through a pinged piece of information. You can lessen the load on the LMS by setting your courses to only report scores and not scores + user interactions. If Captivate is pinging the LMS after each and every slide, imagine how many hits that poor LMS is getting when you have lots of users.
On one project we also got some help from Andrew Chemey at Adobe to customise the JavaScript in our Captivate HTML SCORM templates so that the lesson only reported once to the server right at the end of the lesson, instead of after every quiz question, which is the normal behaviour. We found this significantly reduced the load on the LMS and all but eliminated the latency.

Broadband Connection More Stable Since Changing MT...

Since day one of having BT Broadband I have used my own router which is a Vigor 2800. Though my router is on 24/7 I was seeing that the PPP connection uptime would never be more than 20-24 hours.
Recently I changed my MTU value from the routers default to 1500 (to solve an online media server issue). Just checked my figures today and I see the following:
Router Uptime: 173:52:00
WAN Status Uptime: 173:49:54
The Uncorrected Block value is a lot smaller now too at 6480 for 138,967,478 RX Blocks (which is a tiny percentage).
I am not sure though why the MTU value in the router would affect how stable the connection was, unless the router (or BT Servers) were seeing a lot of fragmented packets and dropping the connection. Any ideas?
Chris.

Hi
I have a similar situation, upgrade with BT from 20 to 21CN network, and using a Draytec 2800.
Boy did this cause us a drop in service, in terms of speed, connection drops, intermittant speed problems etc.
Anyway, Draytec were helpful, with many firmware tests, now using firmware 2.8.2.1 B1120 and stable
But still have slow issues (speedtest.net can show pings between 500 and 12000 sometimes 30 times a day , but often on 47ms)
Anyway my MTU was on 1442 until i just changed it to 1500 so will see what happens.
Also if you dont have Outbound TCP ACK Prioritize ticked on the draytec you will suffer bad connections.
The BT router doesnt have this option, and is a big problem. I know because ive had a year of complaining and talks with BT including them sending out network experts to independantly test our line (not the usual BT engineer who (no disrespect) often didnt have a clue apart from the one thing he could do with a little test machine (which always gave perfect results!)
UPDATE:
Uploading a file still causes the PING on speedtest.net to go to 500ms which on the old network never happened.

More Stable?! Nope.
