Mounting server/NAS by name doesn't always work...why?

Hello,
I'm experiencing an odd issue. I have a NAS on my network (D-Link DNS-323) to which I've assigned a name using its own set up. It then shows up in my finder and I usually can mount it just by clicking on it (or actually, I have an automated action to do that when my location is home). However, occasionally it will fail to mount. It will tell me something on the lines of "the server DNS323 cannot be mounted or is unavailable" or something like that. Even trying the "connect to server" command with the smb:// doesn't work and Finder will show a "Connection Failed" response. What's weird is that, when that happens, I can do a connect to server command and write in the device's IP address and it connects no problem. The only change I've made recently to my network is I've replaced an old D-Link router with an Airport Extreme. Not sure if that is a variable. Obviously I can connect with the NAS name sometimes. I can't for the life of me see a pattern. The only one data point is that the connection invariably fails when I go from wi-fi to ethernet or vice-versa. All other times I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I've solved the problem myself: the albums that wouldn't sort properly were ones in which the artist name was marked in "Album Artist" field as well as the "Artist" field. So I put the "surname, firstname" in the "Sort Album Artist" field as well as the "Sort Artist" field, and they sorted properly!

ITunes 10.4.1 Problem with Key Command Go to Current Song - Doesn't always work

Since updating to iTunes 10.4.1, I've noticed that the key command, command + L doesn't always work to display the current song.

I have this problem in iTunes 10.7 (21). The "Go to Current Song" option exists in the Controls menu, but even when audio is playing it is disabled.

Why won't Firefox always minimize/resize? Using F11 is a patchy solution that doesn't always work

Firefox won't always minimize or resize. The upper right hand corner just pulsates. Looking through forums, I found that using f11 can help, but it doesn't always work. Often I have to reboot.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== A year ago, maybe

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

"Is it intended to cope with NetConnection.Connect.IdleTimeOut of FMS disconnecting clients after some time of inactivity?"
The answer is no. Stream reconnect is all about trying to reconnect in the event of a dropped network connection. For the IdleTimeOut scenario, listen for the MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR event on the MediaPlayer and check for an error of MediaErrorCodes.NETCONNECTION_TIMEOUT. You can handle that however you wish in your player.

My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work. I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen. Will they still replace it?

It is unlikely but you can atleast try they might set it up for free but expect an email about paying 269 for physical damage

IPhone 3GS Sleep/wake button doesn't always work

Recently i upgraded my iphone 3gs to iOS 5.0.1,
Since then, my sleep/wake button doesn't always work.
It's pretty annoying, and i hope there is a solution to this issue.
Thanks in advance.

One possibility is that your phone is more occupied with "managing" iOS 5.0.1 since it has more features etc. This could especially be the case if you are using a lot of apps.
Another option is that the button is simply worn out... I used to have that issue with the home button of my old iphone 3g. However, if the problem started occuring right after you upgraded your iOS, it probably is a software issue...

My phone keeps freezing and the home button doesn't always work

My phone keeps freezing and the button on the front of phone doesn't always work when typing my phone goes slow

Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Close All Open Apps...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

HT4060 I have to wiggle the plug to charge my iPad and it doesn't always work

What is the possible fix for my having to wiggle the connector to charge my iPad, and that doesn't always work?

That's not normal. You can try another cable. If the issue repeats, then it's something with your iPad. If your device is still under warranty, take it in and have it assessed. If they determine that it's a manufacturer's defect, they can replace it, but if they determine it's 'abuse or neglect' then they won't.
If your device isn't under warranty you may be eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

Turning off thumbnail caching doesn't always work

The standard solution for stopping the creation of thumb nail files doesn't always work. This assumes that since you don't display thumbnails you don't create thumb nails. Not true. If you try to move a JPG created by Windows Media Player as message is
displayed. This message asks you if you really want to move a system file. The message displays a thumbnail. So instantly a THUMBS.DB file is created. Now the whole purpose of the exercise was to move stuff out of the folder, so that after a bit of fiddling
you could reorganise & delete the folder. Now you can't delete the folder, unless you mess around and do it later. There is obviously a (non intuitive) work around. But it would be better if Microsoft allowed you to force the delete.

Hi,
As far as I know there is no official way to turn off thumbnail caching. The only option in Group Policy is Turn off taskbar thumbnails.
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Turn off taskbar thumbnails
Do you encounter any difficult position that must disable thumbnail caching?

"Put" command doesn't always work

Hi,
I'm looking for a confirmation that the put command doesn't
always work in DW8.
I don't use check in/out, so I have started to rely on the
Put command, rather than going in to Windows Explorer to copy and
paste web page changes from Local to Remote (via LAN). But even
when I know there are differences between the local and remote
file, the Put command will often report that the Local file was not
moved to the Remote location because DW thinks the Remote file is
the same as the Local. I get a log message like this:
"the file" - same - not transferred
But, I can confirm the local is newer than the remote by
manually copying and pasting. I can see a different timestamp and
file size in Windows Explorer.
Is this command "broken" in DW8?
Thanx,
Chris

You won't get it from me. I have never had it fail since DW2.

On a 5s how do you make the light turn off when phone rings or when you receive text, at work I would like to shut that off. Also seems like vibrate doesn't always work?

On a 5s how do you make the light turn off when phone rings or when you receive text, at work I would like to shut that off. Also seems like vibrate doesn't always work? I had a 4s and didn't have these issues

Thank you, I did find that. Still my phone does not always vibrate when ringer is off for texts and calls, only sometimes?

Magsafe adapter doesn't always work?

I've developed an interesting problem with my macbook pro. This happens in multiple places, at work, at home, and elsewhere. If the magsafe charger is plugged into a "Power Strip" it may or may not work. It's a 50/50 chance. If its plugged directly into a wall it always works. If I plug it into the power strip with just my printer on it, the one I usually use, I get a 50/50 chance. If I unplug the printer so that it is the only thing on that power strip it still only works 50% of the time.
Same thing at work and at other peoples house. No matter what kind of power strip, it doesn't work 100%. This problem seems to slowly getting worst also and it didn't happen when I first got the laptop.

If you can consitantly make it fail on any powerboard, i'd recommend you show someone at an apple store. If it's faulty then Apple will replace it.

Reader list doesn't always work

Hi,
I like the reader list. It's like pocket.
The problem I have is that the icon doesn't always show up to allow me to mark an article. Like businessweek.com. Not sure why. On other sites, like IO9.com, no problem.
I have a Google Nexus 5 phone with 5.0 Lollipop.
Thank you.

Hello s2poon .
Have you tried to refresh it?
Because base in my experience, the icon will appear when all the webpage is completely loaded .

Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.
