OH Apple & SL what on earth have you done!! Airport, DNS, network all hosed

Dear All,
We've been following the various network related posts with interest and i seems we too have now joined the very many posters here who's networks have been totally 'screwed' by Snow Leopard.
Our experiences to date since upgrading:
Airport connection has completely gone. I've given up trying to fix this one. Have followed fellow posters suggestions, deleted configs, new network locations, you name it. It just does not want to know. We keep getting the dreaded 'self assigned IP' message too.
These problems have now spilled over to our wired network> Netgear DGN 2000 router of which is DHCP server, is now giving out very odd DNS addresses, and we're getting the self assigned IP' message on his one too. The only way we can connect to he internet is to plug directly into the router, any network access has been lost. We've been following various suggested solutions posted here all to no avail. Prior to the SL upgrade everything was working flawlessly.
If anyone has any additional suggestions, possible fixes, we'll be extremely grateful, by this whole experience could rapidly be turning into Apple's 'Vista' moment.
Good luck everyone, let's hope there's some update patches posted soon.

There is another thread that seem to confirm that Apple knows about DNS problems with SL so maybe the next update will have the network fixed for most people.
I'd be curious to know what these "DNS problems" you speak of are.
The only one that's biting people is that there is an issue where SL will "round robin" which DNS servers it queries on occasion for unknown reasons.
This is only an issue if your network requires that DNS servers be used in the order provided, for whatever reason.
By this I mean if you had two DNS servers:
foo # My main DNS server
bar # Only use if foo is down - on 56K dialup link!
SL will occasionally decide to direct all queries to "bar" even when "foo" is reachable.
It is, however, arguable as to whether that is a bug or a feature, but it's unexpected behavior at the least.

  • Firefox has become a bloody nightmare!!- what on earth have you done at the update?! how do i stop any 'new' opened tab opening as 'zone alarm'??!!!

    I have had to reset my homepage to my regular one (msn.com) as Firefox suddenly put 'zone alarm' into my home page (default ) and also the search bar (instead of Google). I have reset the Google in the search bar, and have reset my homepage to www.msn.com - yet, despite this, every single time a new tab is opened low and behold it opens up as the Zone Alarm home page.
    I either need to solve this immediately, or Firefox, you're history on my laptop. Utter trash !!!

    Do you have ZoneAlarm software installed?
    If that is the case then you need to check this in that software or contact ZA for support.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Hi The best option is to do a factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs And set up iPad as new. Just use same Apple ID you will get all your Apps & Data back. Do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • What in the name of Goodness have you done re: the full screen picture of Contacts on my iPhone? Sort it out Apple or I'm going back to Samsung, where maybe I should have stayed!

    What in the name of Goodness have you done with the full screen picture of Contacts? How dare you just change it without so much as a bye or leave? This is NOT progress but a throwback to about 1997! I supposedly 'updated' to an iPhone two weeks ago. Should have stayed with Samsung I reckon. I am deeply unimpressed!

  • IPad 3 light leak under the bezel? What have you done about it?

    If you have an iPad 3. Tilt towards you, looking underneath the bezel (under the camera) has your iPad got any lights showing? It's not bleeding onto the screen, in fact it doesn't interfere at all under normal use of the iPad. I have read many forums and it does seem to be quite common,but i would like to know what have you done about it? Have you replaced within 14 days and got a brand new iPad and been satisfied ? Or have you had another with worse or different issues? Or have you ignored the issue and kept the iPad?
    I walked into comet and the first iPad 3 I picked up had exactly the same issue. I asked the bloke, he said yes? It's no problem, it's common in led screens and with the iPads new retina screen your bound to get this problem on some but it's no problem as doesn't effect your everyday use. Not the point though is it, we pay 400-579 for this thing!
    I also rang apple and they spoke with their technical team and they came back and said the lights under the bezel seems unusual. To try and restore the iPad and see if that solves it. Solves a hardware problem?? How did they get their jobs? Crazy. So now I am in the middle of returning the iPad for a replacement but I am debating whether to even bother as I have read a lot of replacements people have received have numerous other problems, like dead pixels, light leakage, scratches.
    I would appreciate any feedback from those who have had this same issue and what did you do about it ?

    Mine has some along the right side. It is very slight, and does not affect the screen,even with a black image displayed in a dark room. So I chose to ignore it. This iPad will be going back though, as the bottom half of the screen has a pink tint on it. My advice is to see if it affects a dark picture in a dark room. If it doesn't, I would keep it. But in the end, you have to make your own decision and be comfortable with it. :)

  • Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

    Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
    What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
    Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
    edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

    I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

  • DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?

    dear oracle,
    i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
    and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
    in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
    oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
    additional requirement).
    but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
    you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
    of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
    full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
    but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
    by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
    please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
    need the functionality, that came with webdb??
    some impressions:
    - starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
    additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
    - space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
    - i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
    that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
    (until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
    products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
    It seems, that you have lost the ground!
    - saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
    me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
    - the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
    to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
    "you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
    so, dear oracle,
    i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
    gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
    customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.
    regards
    rainer

  • Oh Nokia, what have you done? (UK)

    Oh Nokia! What have you done?
    Restricting the Lumia 920 to a single network in the UK is a MAJOR mistake!
    Ok, logic states you want to push the 920 via a 4G network, of which there is only one currently but that doesn't mean people will switch to that network.
    We all know 4G will come to the other networks and people will buy a phone based on that and a myriad of other factors such as network coverage, customer service, Operating System etc.
    So restricting availability to a single network which, to be frank, is not regarded as having the best service or coverage is simply ludicrous.
    Yesterday I saw a retailer in the UK offering the 920 SIM Free. Yahoo! I can jump in with an off-contract purchase to supplement my two other Windows Phone 7.5 devices - one of which is also a Lumia (800 in this case, bought on the day of release!).
    'Are you sure this is SIM Free and therefore Carrier unlocked?' I ask. 'Yes, all our SIM Free phones are unlocked.' came back the response.
    OK, here is my £459 to buy the device....
    Imagine my surprise when neither of my O2 SIMs were able to be used but my T-Mobile SIM was!
    Call the retailer to be told by the Manager that it was SIM Free and unlocked. Back to shop I go - much testing with many SIMs ensued and a call to Tech Support confirms my suspicions that it was indeed locked to the EE family (EE/T-Mobile/Orange).
    'Can I have an unlock code please?' I ask to have the response there are none available. Only option is to refund!
    So Nokia, you have lost a sale of your flagship device (and being part of a UK Smartphone community that reviews, tests and supports such devices and users) and I know there is latent demand for it out there but no-one I know wants it on that network and certainly not on the commercial terms on offer where the 4G element is restricted...
    The HTC 8X although specification wise maybe not quite close enough to the 920 to be called equivalent is close enough and has such a commercial advantage (read minimum £60 cheaper) and is available SIM Free to be the one to buy if you want a Windows Phone 8 device now.
    So much for your loyal customer base who jumped in with Nokia on the release of the Lumia 800, they cannot now go to the 920. The 820 is not flagship and in comparison to the HTC 8x is somewhat lacking ( I had them both in my hands yesterday).
    Oh, dear, Nokia, this is hardly likely to help your financial woes when you restrict sales of your flagship device in the UK.
    I am happy to engage on this with Nokia UK and even review said device but in reality all I want is to be able to buy the device for personal use.
    The Nokia Value Proposition is a strong one compared to the other Windows Phone 8 manufacturers (HTC 8S/X and Samsung Ativ) with the exclusive and attractive software elements but that's only a real value if the device can be obtained otherwise it is irrelevant.
    I look forward to Nokia's response.....

    Today I phoned t-mobile UK (South African call center???) to order an 920 as an upgrade, I made it quite clear that I wanted the 920, but the customer services advisor was absolutely determined to sell me an iPhone 5, stating the IP5 was a 'much better phone' etc. I was pretty annoyed at this behaviour as he was doing absolutely everything he could to persuade me to buy the IP5. I ended the call without ordering anything.
    I eventually managed to order a 920, this time through a UK call centre, it would seem t-mobile UK and orange UK are doing everything in their power NOT to sell the phone, it's not listed on either of their online shops, even though you CAN buy it from them. Initially I was told the 920 wasn't available on t-mobile, even though my friend had got on on t-mobile a few hours earlier, once informed of this, they remembered it was available and allowed me to order.
    To me it seems the TMUK and Orange are pushing the EE network at the expense of Nokia. Why, because people are put off by EEs ridiculously high monthly price plans, and TMUK & Orange aren't making it known that you can get it on their network at a much cheaper monthly rate.

  • Data Guard with Oracle 9i and 10g -- have you done it?

    We have an ERP system (JDEdwards, db size approx 600 GB) and we'd like to copy the data in this system to a database on another computer. We'd use the remote database for reporting, so we need it to be available. We are looking at using Data Guard running in Logical Standby mode.
    The ERP database is Oracle 9i, and we are considering having the Logical Standby database be 10g. Have you done this and if so, what was your experience?
    Here's why we want to do this. There are many tables in the ERP database that contain descending indexes. We can't change this, and it is not supported with Data Guard under Oracle 9.2. Tables with descending indexes do not copy to the logical standby database.
    We were told that this is corrected in a newer release of Oracle, and we were wondering if a 10g database would properly copy tables with descending indexes.
    Thanks in advance for any experiences you can share.
    Best Regards,
    Mike

    What you are trying to do might not be possible. Because when you create logical standby you have to create a physical standby first and convert it. Primary and standby have to be same version.
    In furture it might be possible because 10G will support rolling upgrade of logical standby.
    However even it's possible you have to go through a lot of pain to setup and maintain it because Oracle don't support the setup.
    What you could try are Stream and Replication, I will say Stream is very interesting one. Because Oracle say : "Oracle Streams and Oracle Data Guard (including Data Guard SQL Apply) are independent features based on some common underlying infrastructure and technology. "

  • How do I remove an old apple ID off an iPad when you don't have the original user's log in information?

    Hi, my company has recently started issuing techs iPhones and iPads. I have an iPad here we got back from an employee after termination. He gave me his 4 digit passcode to get into the iPad, I removed the passcode to unlock, and did a reset on the device. Turn it on, I get the "Hello" screen and the initial set up pages. I get to the page with  "input your Apple ID" and when I tried to enter a new ID, it wouldn't accept it because the device had already been associated with a different Apple ID. The prompt it gave was to log in online with the original Apple ID and remove the device. Well... can't do that since the employee is long gone and that's not going to happen. So what do I do here? How do I remove it to set up a new Apple ID?

    Without the ID/password, you won't be able to use it. Suggest you take it to an Apple store. They may have some advice.

  • ITunes, what have you done with my files?

    Irrelevant backstory;
    I've actually had quite a turbulent time with technology lately- External harddrives blowing up, iTouch screens cracking in my pocket. Not to mention the screen on this ruddy Mac of mine. But I'm fairly competent with technology and so far have been able to fix most problems I've made for myself. This one is a little tougher so I'd really appreciate a little help.
    This is a long story, mostly because information tends to yield better solutions. Feel free to skip to the short version below if you'd like to save your eyes the trouble.
    Essentially, I replaced my iTouch yesterday. This 9 month old beauty had accumulated thousands of listens, and since it was manually managed from itunes Last.fm refused to scrobble any of them. So I made my mind up that I'd simply sync the new one automatically. That's when things started to go wrong. I had deleted all my music from the harddrive for the purpose of downloading fresh films, confident in the fact I had two recently backed up external harddrives containing all my music (about 3,000 songs I like, and 1,000 songs other people like that they give out to me for not having) and movies. Altogether, this came to around 24 GB. I realise this is not a huge amount in comparison to what some people have, but I'm a relative purist (except when drunk) and some of the music is exceptionally hard to find (ever heard of Ween?). So I'd really like it back. Now, as I've mentioned, one of the harddrives is a glorified paperweight, it fell 3 feet and is now making typically awful beeping/scratching noises and no longer fires up. The second one was working fine, however, so I plugged it in and set to work copying and pasting.
    iTunes duly realised that none of the music was where it used to be, so I re-added my C:/Music folder to the library and got plenty of awesome duplicates. After deleting those, iTunes would play the song if I tried to click on it (exclamation point or not). Problem sorted then, except that because iTunes didn't realise it knew the locations of the songs once more, virtually none of those songs were synching with my spanking new iTouch. So I started manually clicking into the exclamated songs, which would play, and the sync. I got halfway through A before realising this would take forever. So I searched for a more automatic way. I tried readding all my songs again, but this just created tons more duplicates, and after deleting those went into the File->Library->Organise Library menu. Things go badly for me from here.
    I knew what Consolidate would do and I didn't like it. I could guess what Reorganise would do, but hey, it might help, and it specifically said it wouldn't remove or delete any files. Just move them.
    So I figured what the ****.. Why not?
    Mistake.
    After taking ages to reorganise my already organised music folders, iTunes promptly lost around 1500 songs. Individual songs and albums. It seems everything that wasn't a Compilation from Kings of Leon-Come Around Sundown (of which I now have half an album) was gone. So I resigned myself to locating the songs manually.
    But they weren't there. The first 7 songs were there from Come Around Sundown. The remaining ones were not. I thought this pretty odd. Then i noticed that the rest of the songs weren't there either. Alphabetically, from "K" down, most of my music was simply not there. And I now had this funky new C:/Music/Music folder, which was just full off the songs I did have. After tinkering around with the XP search function and finding nothing anywhere, I decided to simply delete and start over. So I wiped my Music folder and recopied everything from the external HD. Re-opened the folder in iTunes and voila, everything was the exact same.
    My only thought here is that I've managed to wipe the Music folder in the external HD, and replaced my wanted music with what iTunes has done to my laptop. Highly stupid, absolutely, but not absolutely out of character with deleting the music in the first place, or reorganising my music folder despite misgivings about it's effectiveness. In fact, it was par for the course with how I approached this problem last night.
    Short version;
    iTunes has, apparently while reorganising my library, deleted a number of songs from my computer. I now have far less music than I should, and it is not anywhere on my computer. The music folder has shrunk from 24GB to 16GB. My movies have been renamed into oblivion. This was not what I thought reorganising did.
    Reorganising = File->Library->Organise Library->Reorganise files in the folder "Music"
    "Music" is my music folder, containing all of my beloved tracks. It's located at C:/Music
    What's interesting now is that when the iTouch synched with iTunes, it did manage to pick up all of my movies, despite them not being there. When the iTouch is plugged into iTunes and i look at the Movies tab (close to Summary on the top), everything is there. When I look at the Movies viewer on the left (below Music) it's empty. I tried to manually sync some movies to save space (plus, I've already watched Team America a dozen times now) it removed all of them. They will no longer go back on, but iTunes does show them in the Movies tab.
    They're still there in theory, but neither a manual search for them nor allowing Movies to sync automatically puts them back onto the iPod touch.
    Solution wise, I'm stumped. If the computer doesn't let me find them, then they're not there. But Reorganise expressly pointed out that files would be moved and renamed, not deleted. And the Music folder has shrunk in size, which indicates that iTunes was lying. The only ways out I can see are to a) attempt to repair the damaged hard drive which contains all my unharmed music or b) acquire all my missing music again.
    Option a isn't bad, since I'd like to get that HDD working again anyway. Option b is going to take a long time and will be incomplete. Folks, after all this text what I really want to know is- Anyone got an option c?
    Cheers! And apologies for the length. I tend to ramble.
    ~SFD
    iTunes is fully up to date. The iTouch software is 4.3.2 instead of 4.3.3, but internet is expensive so downloading that update will not be done on Telstra wireless. The laptop is a dualbooted MBP running XP.

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • We have 150 iPads at our school. What effective ways have you found to update and download new apps to such a large number of iPads? Can I download different apps to different sub sets of our large group - or must they all have the same apps?

    At our elementary school, our 150 iPads are separated into 5 subsets.  Can I download different apps to each subset, or must they all have the same apps since they all share the same Apple ID.  Some iPads are for grades k-2, and some are for 3-5.  I'd like to have the best apps for the different grade levels on the iPads.  Currently we have "iPad Carts" to house our  iPads in, and could use them to upload and update apps all at once, but don't utilize this function as we have a custom set up for the iPads that is erased each time we update through the carts.

    You can configure different set of apps for different groups of ipads.
    You need an mdm to do this.
