Moving Between Bridged Routers Doesn't Always Work
I have two Extremes in 2 units on my property. I have them bridged. Very often, when I go from one to the other, my devices do not change to the closer router automatically. Shouldn't this happen? I shouldn't have to go to each device and tell it to switch.
Thanks.
The way switching is accomplished is analogous to hysteresis, and the threshold you want to adjust is called "multicast rate". It is not available in the "Fisher-Price" version of AirPort Utility.
The latest version of AirPort Utility that allows changing this parameter, AU 5.6, is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
If you are using Mountain Lion you simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
You can manually extract and install the app without Pacifist using Terminal but the command is rather long and unwieldy. If you don't want to use Pacifist you can use xar and tar from Terminal.
AirPort Utility 5.6 will run without complaint on Mountain Lion. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
There is an odd problem switching between AirPort Utilty 5.6 and 6.x. If you use 6.x and subsequently use 5.6, you will need to authenticate again. Then, if you switch back to 6.x, both versions may refuse to communicate with your Extremes until you reboot. Therefore it is best to use one or the other.
To change the multicast rate using AirPort Utility 5.6, select the Extreme and select "Manual Setup". Authenticate when necessary. Select the Wireless tab, then Wireless Network Options. Change the "Multicast Rate" parameter there.
The threshold is set by default to 2 Mbps. This is the throughput threshold below which the access point you are using will drop the connection. Setting a higher threshold will drop it earlier, as you move farther away from the base station. The manifestation of setting it too high will be that you will have no connection in a relatively "weak" area.
Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).

"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> I'm looking for a confirmation that the put command

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

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.

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, maybeStart 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") -

Fix FM-1076: Reconnect timeout doesn't always work.
Ticket Links:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM-1076
Modified Paths:
osmf/trunk/framework/OSMF/org/osmf/net/NetLoader.as"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.

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?

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.

I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doen't always work. Is there a glitch inthis app?
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. -
IMac keyboard doesn't always work properly and Magic Mouse battery drain
Owned my iMac for a few months now. First off, my batterys only lasted 23 days, not 3 months like stated by Apple. I've use both Duracell and Energizer and both last less than a month. Secondly, my wireless keyboard doesn't always function properly. When I'm trying to type something out, I always end up having to go back and add something that the keyboard has missed..
For example, I just tested my Cap Locks key. I pressed it 10 times normally as you would when typing and the green LED only lit for 3 of the 10.
But when I press hard it works everytime
Is this a common problem or have I been sent out a defective pack?
ThanksIt's a long shot, but is a non-standard input selected here:
> System Preferences > Language & Text
Try selecting 'British' and see if the problem persists. Also, if you click on the little nationality flag in the menubar at the top of the screen and choose 'Show Keyboard Viewer', what happens when you press the '3' key? Does it light up as expected?
