I inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out

Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please

Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.

I had to change my sim card due to call drop outs and now i have lost important voice messages. How do i get the messages back?

Please help. I lost very important voicemail when i changed my sim card due to call drop out. How do i get my voicemail back??

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Network Light on the back

My internet was down yesterday for about 10 minutes. WDMyCloud 4 TB gave me yellow blink when internet was down. When Internet came back on, my WDMyCloud 4 TB still gave me yellow blink on the front. Checking it more closely, I get no light on the back for Network. I switched network cable, reboot many times, and connect it different router did not help. I have it connected to Apple Airport. And tried it on Cisco Router. Neither one of them works. How do I get the network light back on? So anybody has same experience? I appreciate any help! Thank you, Patrick

It is working now. I tried to reboot many times yesterday and this morning, but it did not work. I left it unplugged from power for 2 hours and then plugged it back in. It started working again. Thank you, Patrick

How do I find out what network 'card' is in my DV6700?

There are umpteen numbers of various DV6700's...the only model number I show on mine is DV6700....yet, the driver info does not list a wired driver..only wireless. I need the 'car' manufacturer and the driver for windows XP. How and where do I get this information? (My hard drive failed and I had to install Windows XP Pro, cold, from a Microsoft CD and it did not have any laptop drivers that were recognized by my laptop.)
Thanks in advance

Really there are only 2 versions, Intel and AMD. If you have AMD the network card is driven by the chipset driver for the nVidia chipset which you can get for Windows XP:

Please Help!! Network Card Won't Detect Modem.. Advise about my options?

Thank you in advance for reading my post and for any help and advise..
I am on a friends computer because my Network Card went caput!.. now my computer can not detect my modem..
What happened?.. my surge protector did not protect my iMac during a thunder storm, and I have not been able to get online since.
I am almost sure now that my Network Card is the problem.. I have heard I will have to replace the entire board now! This could not have come at a worse time for me, so I am hoping and praying someone here will have a less expensive work around for me.
I am currently running a 700MHz G4 Flat Pannel with a DSL modem from Bell South. I was using my Ethernet input to get online, but, again, the modem can no longer be detected. This particular modem will not allow me to connect via USB either. If it did allow me to connect via USB, would that even work seeing how my network card is a wash?
Is there a way I can get another modem and use a USB or wireless something or the other to get my iMac back online without having to sell my arm and leg?
Sorry about the length of this post; I just want to make sure I cover as many bases as I can think of. Thank you again for any help; I really appreciate it! *april

BRAD!.. we are two ships sailing in the same mirky water; please somebody light a flair or something! =P
I always thought these things happened to 'other' people.. REALLY stinks to be us right now.
I have been doing some more reading.. my friend was nice enough to let me borrow his computer for a little bit. However, I still have not come across a definitive answer for a proven Internet access alternative.
So far, I have read about one other option that MAY work.. What I really need to know is.. with a corrupt Network Card, is it even POSSIBLE to get online by ANY other means? Or does having a corrupt Network Card mean that it destroys ANY other way to get online without having to replace the entire board? Is the Network Card what enables us to get online, or does the Network Card just allow us to connect to the Internet via Ethernet cable alone? I still have not found an answer to these questions.
That said, I mentioned reading about another Internet connection solution. This other option involves buying what is called a wireless router and a wireless AirPort card. I think they have to be installed inside the hard shell?? So with these parts and service, I believe we are still looking at a ballpark of US$200. I wish somebody could tell us, are there any other options?
On a side note, I have also learned that my particular 700 MHz iMac Flat Pannel will NOT take the wirelss AirPort EXTREME card; it will ONLY take the Original AirPort card, which, by the way, are more expensive and hard to find. Not too sure exactly what iMac Flat Pannel you have, Brad, but you should try to find out which one will work for your iMac. I don't know if I should trust eBay for used electronics, but it seems you can pick them up for a little less money than on any online websites. I saw some on a website called macofalltrades.com for about US$100.00; this website looks legit. I also tried Craigslist.ORG, and somebody was only selling an AirPort Extreme card, not the original... It may be worth looking on a near by big city local Craigslist though; make sure you click on the city nearest you.. The default craigslist.org is for San Francisco. I have heard a wireless router costs about US$40.00. However, I don't know exactly what a wireless router is or even what type I need to be looking for, what brand etc??
I need to know if I buy an AirPort card, will I also have to buy that AirPort Base thing as well?? All this information is becoming overwhelming. Could somebody please try to clairify? We would be eternally greatful! =)
Sorry about your computer, Brad; I know what you're going through. =(

Solaris9 x86 problem with network cards, ACPI, IRQs

Hello!
For the last two days I've been trying to solve the problem of Solaris9 x86 not being able to use my network card. I have tried with 3c905CX-TX-M, RealTek 8139 and Realtek 8029 and none of them works. The problem is the following:
Everything is properly configured, networking etc., but the cards can only send and cannot receive packets. When trying to ping, the packets leave the NIC but none of the reponses are detected by NIC. When I check with 'kstat elxl' I can see that 'intr' is zero, and out_packets is increasing as it's sending packets.
From the discussion forum I can see that this same problem has been known for several years. One of the conclusions is that Solaris x86 sucks at dealing with IRQ setup and that the best thing is to disable ACPI and 'PnP OS' option in BIOS. However, I've tried all releases of AMI bios and none them has neither of those options. I have played with various priority levels in BIOS but all that has accomplished is that the card, when first started, captures a few interrupts/packets but then stops again. This is usually just enough to finish the ARP exchange (arp -a shows the remote host).
And of course, all the cards work just fine in WindowsXP and Linux. And all the cards work nice in another PC which runs the same Solaris 9 x86.
My motherboard is Gigabyte 7VTXE. (The other one in which it works is ASUS P2B-DS).
I would really appreciate help!

I had almost identical problem today on an HP Kayak - which happened to be dual CPU one. The fix
set pcplusmp:apic_forceload = -1
in /etc/system worked for me. The only drawback is that it also leaves the machine single CPU. AFAIK this (downloadable) S9x86 kit is licensed only for one CPU anyway, so I wonder if something has been fixed in the code to make sure it is not run on multi-CPU systems. Before the fix, mpstat showed thousands of interrupts on CPU0, both CPUs were constantly busy at about 70% and there was no network connection on a number of cards I tried (3Com 90x - elxl, Intel iprb, another one with Realtek 8139 was never recognized, so I did not bother too much to find if there is a fix for this); pinging out resulted in the hub port light blinking, nothing comes back.
Anyway, the fix is good enough to test s9 for now; everything else seemed to be OK. If it may be of some use for somebody, don't go into the disk option of the Solaris Management Console; the machine in question had Windows 2003 server (RC2) installed before Solaris9, the disk tool decided that there was no label on the disk and asked to write it on; I clicked the 'cancel' button, but the partition table was irreversibly damaged, so I had to start from installing W2k3. My guess is that tool has been tested only with Sparc, so there is no issue with BIOS level partitioning there. BTW, system info of the SMC insists that the CPUs are Sparcs...

Network Card

My relative has an one of the first mac minis. A storm may have fried his network card because he no longer has Internet access. A cable guy from the ISP came out to his house and said his signal was fine. The modem's lit up properly except for the activity light. I had him try a different ethernet cable, and he also tried resetting the network. None of those attempts worked. Only other thing that I can think of is that his network card may have been fried.
Tomorrow I was going to take a computer over to see if it will work in order to eliminate the network card. Do you have any other suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?
Also, if it ends up being the network card, is it easy to replace?
Thanks,
Jay

The jack on the computer has little pins. On my G5 I had connection problems for a long time until I found that one of those little pins got bent inward and wasnt making contact with the plug on the cable.
It took using a magnifying glass to get that one pin bent back into place using a paperclip with a tiny hook bent on the end.
Worth a look.
I cant help you with any ideas for a network card repair/replacement other than taking it to apple.

RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Sean,
I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
IP address.
I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
it is IP1.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses
for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
with
a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
set
the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
to
get
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specific in
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cards and
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, following your
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected on the
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds with a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you setthe
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multiple ip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at toget
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However, from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the name serviceto
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A name server
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (in some
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the real nameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Folks,
Here is what we would like to do:

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env 1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

I am giving the actual IP address. and not the host name. That is why I
don't understand what is going on.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forte is
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for example machine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot address instead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do,
the
nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even though my
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address
it
finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in the environment
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move on to
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do not havea
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewall and
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine when the
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on both cards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Wireless Network Does Not Work After Coming Out of Sleep

I have a WEP connection that does not broadcast. My Airport connects to it fine. When the MacBook comes out of sleep mode, sometimes it cannot connect and does not show the network in the list of available networks (because it doesn't broadcast, but the network is setup so it should show). If I turn off Airport and then immediately turn it back on, it connects right away.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I need to delete and recreate the connection because just bouncing the Airport on the MacBook brings the connection back online... so I don't think there is anything wrong with the connection per se. It doesn't happen every time I come backup from sleep, just often enough that it's something I'd like to see them fix in an update if it's a problem that other people are having too.
As for switching from WEP, I have a many wireless clients in my house including laptops, desktops, printers, console systems, and iPhones/Smart-Phones. They all support WEP, but they don't all support WPA. I'd rather try to keep from buying new network cards or new printers.

No network card lights fron or back OUT
