My NAS to Timemachine drops when in wireless mode

Hi all,
Been searching for solution but coudn't find any. Hope someone here can help?!
I have a NAS (WD My World Book - White light edition) which recently upgraded to the latest firmware to work with Time machine appletalk 2.2.
All good when I am connected to my LAN, Lion picks up the NAS and able to backup. When I unplug the LAN cable and go wireless, Lion drops the NAS (no connection to Timemachine).
So I decided to plug the LAN cable back in, but unfortunately, Lion didnt seem to pick up the NAS again :-(.
The only way to solve it is to reboot my MBP while connecting to LAN.
Is this normal or a bug or something screwy with my MBP?

I killed the mDNSResponder in Activity Monitor, plugged the cable back in, and now it can see my NAS.. weird.
But wireless is still a no go

Loop drops when connected wireless (NI 9191)

Hi,
I cannot figure out why a NI cDAQ 9191 chassis has connection drops when connected wireless and works
perfectly when connected thru LAN.
I wrote a little test VI to check the connection accuracy. The chassis has a NI 9375 I/O module plugged in.
A Moxa AWK3121 is used as wireles access point. What I do is check 5 digital inputs and control 3 digital outputs.
The outputs are continuously placed on/off at a different rate. I use an event loop and a main loopt that communicates
to the chassis at a loop rate of 10ms.
The chassis, laptop and Moxa A.P. are all close together on my desk. The Wifi signal is excellent.
Now, the code i written is probably not optimal.
But... If I start with connecting the chassis with a LAN cable to my laptop, Wifi Disabled, Linked Local. The communication is perfect.
No drops between the loops and the real time.
No communication errors. Runtime was 52 minutes.
Second test. Connected the chassis to the Moxa A.P. with LAN cable. Laptop connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
Chassis still in Link Local. Ik can access the chassis in MAX. No problem.
When I run my test, I immediately see loop pauzes. After one minute there can be already a difference of 20 sec.
between calculated looptime and real time. Sometimes the active light on the chassis goes off and on.
When the active light is out, the loop is on hold. (Wich is normal as I assume the DAQ VI's are waiting for response.)
After appr.10 minutes the error -50405 "No Transfer in progress because transfer was aborted by client".
If I look at the timings there is already a difference of more then 5 minutes between the loop timing and the real time.
As last I tested with the chassis and the PC connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
I did not get the -50405 error, but again loop drops. After 10 minutes there was a shift of 2 minutes.
Has anyone experience with wireless connections with the NI 9191 chassis?
Can I change my code? Did I mis something? (I'm a newbie to Labview)
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Frankie.

I am not clear on whether you are connecting the two together "in it's own little network" (which implies "router" and not "AP") or if you are connecting to the LAN through the wireless device (in which case it is entirely appropriate to refer to the wireelss device as an "AP"). Your last post about hot spots is what confused me.
But as you said, the biggest worry is the active light. Try using a different router/AP. I've seen routers overheat and reset themselves before due to inadequate heat sinking. i.e., Someone (not me, I swear!) dropped the AP and knocked the heat sink off the chip.
As for the delay, if you are indeed using the Moxa as an AP, are you sure you're connecting to your AP? If you're connected to a hotspot instead, your throughput will be at least halved - and maybe even 1/4 bandwidth if your AP happens to have connected to a different hotspot than you did. If you are using it as a router, try differnt bands or channels to see if you can get around any interference your company wireless network might be generating.
In general, conclude that wireless isn't the best way to connect test devices together.

Anyone know why airport keeps dropping when in clamshell mode?

I been using my MacBook Pro for about 3 weeks now and have no issues whats so ever, but then I bought a mini display to DVI adapter and connected my MBP to a 19 inch monitor, which works great, however when I am using airport the connection consistently drops and idea why?

Usually it's interference on the 2.4Ghz band. Here's a quote from the support article and a link to that article.
Certain external monitors and LCD displays: Certain displays may emit harmonic interference, especially in the 2.4GHz band between channels 11 and 14. This interference may be at its worst if you have a portable computer with the lid closed and an external monitor connected to it. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
I always get a message like:
Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
Any advice.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:

Wireless Connection drops when I close my Macbook

I recently hooked up Airport Express as my wireless router - supporting a Macbook, iPhone 4S, iPad, an HP printer and a Nintendo Wii. I thought everything was fine, and then I noticed that the connection seems to drop when I close the lid of my MacBook (was watching a movie streaming on the Wii through Amazon Instant Video, and noticed the video stopped every time I shut my MacBook). Any suggestions to alleviate this?
(have not tested yet to see if WiFi on the iPhone or iPad are affected by shutting down the MacBook)
(Environment is a one bedroom apartment, no walls between the Express and the Wii)

Did u solve ur problem, im having the same issue!! and its getting me mad LOL

TERMINFO environment dropped when using sudo -E or sudioedit

Hey guys,
I use the termite terminal which uses the termcap file 'xterm-termite'. Since this is non-standard I have to copy over the termcap file to remote machines I commonly work on. I put this file in `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite` and set my $TERMINFO environment variable to `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo`.
When I use sudo -E or sudoedit it looks like the TERMINFO environment variable is getting lost. So vim won't display things properly (no colors) and other silly problems (LESS 'Warning terminal is not fully functional").
Why does the TERMINFO get dropped when my other environment variables stick around?
Edit: Looking at the TROUBLESHOOTING document, I see that TERMINFO is removed "to guard against shared library spoofing, shell voodoo, and kerberos server spoofing."
What are my options? I would really rather not copy my termcap file into /usr/share/terminfo since I might not always have root access on my remote machines.
Edit 2: I feel a little silly. I just said I may not have root access. But if I'm using sudo it's almost guaranteed for root access! I'll leave this thread open for other solutions though.

Per chance are each of your IP phones wireless portable phones? Do they happen to operate in the 2.4 GHz band? If so, this would be the reason for the drop-offs. Also, I'm not sure why, if true, this would not affect your Mac ... unless it is connected by Ethernet.

Dropping signal when in sleep mode

Hey all,
Been using the airport extreme for years now. All of a sudden we're getting dropped when waking up from sleep mode.
-The bars still but there is no connection.
-This happens when we're in sleep mode.
-We have to "turn off" and "turn on" the connection and then everything works.
-We have an emac, imac, and a ibook. We have to do the same steps for all of them.
-Also, about once every 3-4 months the airport completely drops out (grayed out bars at top) and we have to reset it (power down and up) to get it to work.
Any ideas??
THanks,
-Dooki

I have been having the same problem ever since I got my new iMac in December. Been on the phone with tech support about 6 times. I think my problem is related to interference within my house. I have tried everything and just today moved my computer to a room very near the Airport Extreme base station. So far all works perfectly. I didn't have this problem with the linksys router I was using with my PC before getting the Mac (802.11g). I have a 5 GHz wireless phone system in the house and maybe that has something to do with it. My problem only occurs after a "long sleep," so I'll have to check things out tomorrow, but getting the computer near the base station seems to have made a difference.

E2500 constant connectivity failures when secure wireless configured

My E2500 constantly drops connectivity (wired and wireless) when secure wireless is configured through the Linksys Connect software. The problem doesn't happen if the router is left unsecured.
Router Firmware: 3.0.00 build 6.
ISP: Comcast cable
Cable modem model UBEE D3.0
I use a mix of wired and wireless - the PCs are wired and the tablets and phones use wireless connections. The laptop uses wired at the desk and wireless elsewhere.
When I first got the router and used Linksys Connect to configure, the connection was moderately stable for about a week, then started dropping frequently. Recycling the modem and resetting the router to factory defaults stabilized the connection.
Today I re-ran the Linksys Connect software to configure secure wireless for my wireless devices, and the intermittent connectivity problem came back immediately - I couldn't get more than a minute or two online without the connection dropping out.
I don't like running without secured wireless connection, but I don't see an alternative.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Frame dropping when Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard pops up

Almost all the Apps are effected by this issue in iOS 8.1, even you creating a new message can cause this noticable frame drop when Chinese Pinyin-10 key keyboard pops up.
Note that:
(1) This issue never occurs in iOS 7.1.X, 8.0 and 8.02, and full QWERTY keyboard is fine.
(2) If turn on Settings->Accessibility->Increase Contrast->Reduce Transparency, Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard also works fine.
I have to use full keyboard instead now. Please fix this.

Thanks, I was curious because I think only devices bought in china have the Chinese Pinyin 10 keyboard, it is missing for everyone else.

Thanks Gary, I think I should have mentioned that I have wired my other speakers and it works fine.
I just wanted to go wireless when presenting in front of class, simply to avoid trailing wires from the macbook which I position in front of me on a desk next to the projector and the speakers are behind me next to the screen.
I have struggled to find a solution, and reading through other discussions it is a problem that perhaps only Apple can solve.
I hope the new 'Yosemite' will resolve the problem.
Thank you once again for your reply.

Data is dropped when I receive a phone call - Lumi...

Is it normal to get disconnected from mobile internet while you're on a call? I was on 3G using Lumia 920 at the time it happened. I was talking to someone and needed to look something up in the broswer but was surprised I could not.
Is there a way to do it?

On some network carrier/service provider its normal for data to be dropped when on phone call. But I suggest you confirm it with your service provider too.
On 2G GPRS, I guess its called DTM which allows both voice and data to work simultaneously. But speed may drop when on call. On 3G, it allows only IM and emails to work simultenously when on phone call. Its service providers limitations.
Also provide name of service provider and country name here, so that people using same network might help you.

Sound dropping when iPod connected to stereo - iOS 4.1

Why is the sound dropping when watching videos from the iPod when connected to a TV?
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K AV receiver with this nice setup (cable and functionality) that lets me watch videos on my TV with the iPod connected to the AVR (USB + composite video cable). The result is not bad, with better video than audio.
HOWEVER after upgrading to iOS 4.1 the sound (not picture) is dropping after various intervals of time (1 - 20 minutes) while plugged into the AVR. When I unplug the connection the video stops and the iPod goes back to the menu. The audio plays normally when restarting the video without the cable and continues to play normally when I plug the AVR cable back into the iPod. On occassions when plugging the AVR's cable into the iPod the sound does not come back, though unpluggin and plugging in again usually does it.
Anyone else have similar issues? I see some issues with apps and battery life under iOS4.1 and a few issues with audio / picture playback:

Have people had similar problems when iPods are connected to AVRs or TVs through composite or component cables? I realize the quality of sound / pictures from the iPod is not superb though it is as good as my sattelite dish. I could just have a computer connected to the AVR via HDMI or similar but well that would mean having a computer just for iTunes.

Thanks for posting this because I too have the Pioneer VSX-1019AH and have just noticed this problem. I rarely listen to my iphone (ipod) through my receiver and this problem never occured before until yesterday.
I am experiencing a sound loss at random times, and it takes restarting the receiver, or disconnecting then reconnecting the iphone cable to get the sound back again, only for it to go off again in a few moments time.
Whilst the sound is off, both the iphone and receiver are continuing to play music because you can see the title of the tracks change on both devices. So where the fault lies is hard to tell but I'd say it's with the ios4.
I don't know whether Apple will provide any support regarding this problem but I do notice the receiver has been endorsed "made for ipod" which means it meets Apple performance standards.

FPS drops when tapping anywhere on the screen

Have had this problem since I first started with mobile apps. Any solutions? I've searched thoroughly and can't find any answer.
I add an FPS displayer to the app to keep track of the FPS (btw, is capitalized FPS only used for First Person Shooter or also the Framerate?, should the framrate be "fps"?, alsways wondering that ). Wherever I tap the screen, the FPS drops. I don't even have to have any other code, so it's not even a button I tap. It can be in an empty black space and it just makes the game run slower. Even if I remove the FPS displayer and just add the smallest code needed to move an mc from the left side to the right and tap the screen fast while it moves, it moves stuttery and/or slows down. If the screen is not touched, it can take it 5 secs to go from left to right, if I tap the screen as fast as I can while it moves, it can take up to 8+ secs before it gets to the right side.
So, what's up with this slowdown when the screen is touched in Adobe Air mobile apps? Been like this since the very first Adobe Air/SDK version I used, and right now I'm using the latest one (3.7). And it happens both with GPU and CPU. If I don't tap the screen furiously, the stuff runs great and good framerate. In some cases it also slowsdown if I just hold the finger down on the screen and moving it around. But then it usually have to be on something, not just blank space.
I surely can't be the only one.

Bumping this thread. I'm building an AIR kiosk app (AIR 14.0 for Desktop, Windows 7 PC, Samsung LS24C770TS monitor), and am experiencing a similar issue as Tenchy.
If the user quickly taps any visible MovieClip (even MCs that don't have any touch event listeners) in my app, it causes severe lag in other touch events. Odd thing is that the frame rate is not affected by tapping fast, it's just that other touch events are delayed while tapping non-interactive MCs.
Referencing the thread below, I've tried both mouseEnabled = false and mouseChildren = false, on the non-interactive MCs. This doesn't fix the issue. The touch objects and non-touch objects are not deeply nested.
