  • Router reference keeps changing itself  **even after locked

    Greetings!
    my partners ibook is possessed! We recently changed the router numbers when we got new setups here at the shop and we had to change the router number to xxx.xxx.xxx.3 instead of .1. Every time my partner steps away from his computer for some reason the configuration of his computer reverts back to .1. Every time he sits down to work he has to go through the whole configuration screen where he chooses "manually" and enters his IP address (which always satys the same) and the new router number and then changes it back to "with DHCP" and then the router number is .3. Then he clicks on the lock mechanism at the bottom left of the config screen to stop any further changes ... and then he can get on the internet. But then he walks away for half an hour and when he returns he cannot connect and he has to go through the whole rigamarole again. Why is this happening to him. He is 10.4.11 and it is an ibookG4.
    How can we made the settings for that router stay at .3 and stop erverting to the .1?
    thanks

    New problem now.
    Now he can't get onto the internet if we set it up that way.
    We change it to manually, we put in the IP address, and the router and he does not have access to the internet. He needs it to do ordering and the like so it is a thing he steps over to at least ten times a day.
    BUT
    if we go through the whole rigamarole and he changes everything in the "manually" screen and then he changes the drop down menu to "with DHCP" the router address stays at .3 and then he is able to access the internet. BUT it changes after a few minutes back to .1 and he has to do it again and again. He always clicks the "lock changes" button but somehow it still changes.
    Is there a preferences pane I should delete somewhere?

  • IPhoto churns, then says iPhoto quit unexpectedly, even when I've tried restoring it.

    IPhoto has crashed.  It churns then says iPhoto has quit unexpectedly even when I tried the command/option open and restore.  When I have searched for it other places, it says, "iPhoto on locked volume. Reopen when you have read/write access or reopen IP with option dey held down to choose another library." Nothing I have tried has worked.

    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages.

    FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages. The print preview works OK, but when you try to print that "unexpected error" jumps up.
    Please email me on what to do to get FireFox to work.
    I don't see anything in the FAQ that might help me.

    Hi,
    Please also try this setting: Windows start menu or Control Panel > '''Devices and Printers''', right-click the printer > '''Printer properties''' > '''Advanced''', and select '''Start printing after the last page is spooled'''. In this case you can also close Firefox after spooling is over (usually much faster than direct printing), and printing will continue.
    Also as a general case, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • IPod turns itself on, even when locked!

    Hi all,
    My mini, even when locked, turns itself on. Do you think its a battery issue? Its 3 years old, and the battery doesn't stay charged as long as it should, espeically when it plays by itself. I was going to replace the battery to see if that helps, but wanted to see if there could be another reason for it to keep turning on without me!

    You most likely have an alarm set.
    To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

  • My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

    My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Keep fixed resolution even when display not attached

    Is there any way to lock the display resolution on a Mac, even when there is no display attached? Or to change the set of display resolutions that are available when no display is attached?
    I connect a Mac to my A/V system via DVI -> HDMI. As long as the unit the Mac is connected to is turned on, the Mac gets reasonable EDID info and allows me to set it to 1920x1080, as desired. But after turning the A/V system off overnight, the Mac invariably reverts to some lower resolution, which wreaks havoc with window sizes and positions. I just want the Mac to stay at 1920x1080.
    I tried SwitchResX, which lets you add available resolutions and disable resolutions, but only when the display is attached, so it accomplishes nothing when the display is disconnected. I've confirmed the inability of SwitchResX to address the problem with its author.
    I purchased a Gefen DVI Detective Plus that theoretically learns the EDID information of a display, keeps that information available to the Mac at all times, and passes the video through it. This would be perfect, except A) it doesn't work correctly in the learning mode (I never did get an image up that way), and B) using a built-in EDID configuration it doesn't cleanly pass the video (it works sometimes, for a little while, but then sparklies start to appear and before long the HDMI connection is lost). Useless.
    I found information on the web about various .plist files, and I've edited most or all of them, all to no avail. I think I could give myself additional resolutions, while a display is connected, but, again, it's the behavior when there effectively is no display that is causing me problems.
    Unless someone here knows a way to lock the display resolution or to edit the set of resolutions available when a display is missing I fear I'll be moving and resizing windows for the rest of my days.
    (Note: This machine happens to still be on Tiger, but I'd be happy to upgrade it to Leopard if that would afford a solution.)

    Are you saying you already got it fixed but the problem is reaccuring??
    I am part of the unlucky ones who didnt't have applecare or the extended warranty. My iMac broke down 8 months ago. I no longer have any display. The strange thing was I left it at home because I went to uni, so there was a period of at least 10 months where it was not used. But still it failed within a few weeks of me getting back home. I was sucked in by their adverts making me believe they were a superior computer to any windows based. How wrong was I. It has now left me with a very bitter taste.
    Any of you guys know if it still will work if I connect an external monitor?

  • ORAROW_SCN keeps changing unexpectedly

    Hello
    I am facing a strange behaviour for the ORAROW_SCN.
    This is the scenario:
    1. We created a copy of a database using datapump to a new Exadata box.
    2. After creating the copy, we query the database for the latest ORAROW_SCN (We rely on this number to load data into a DW)
    3. Latest ORAROW_SCN for every table in the new database keeps changing, even when not DMLs are being executed in the database.
    So, lets say I have the "customers" table with 7,817,414 records
    If I execute the following query:
    select ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn), count(*)
    from customers
    group by ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn)
    order by 1 DESC
    The latest ORAROW_SCN keeps changing, like this: (Every line is the result of executing the query after a few minutes)
    ora_rowscn scn_to_timestamp count
    ========================================
    24526487045 10/12/2012 12:00:56.000000000 PM 7,586,482
    24543886062 10/12/2012 4:00:06.000000000 PM 7,586,482
    24543886064 10/12/2012 4:00:06.000000000 PM 7,586,482
    It happens for every table in the new database.
    So, if we are not updating or inserting rows, what else could be happening that is making the ORAROW_SCN to change continually?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi,
    Same day when you posted this question, i created a table for test in my 11.2 express edition database and after 3 days, I don't see any change ORA_ROWSCN
    select ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn), count(*)
    from test
    group by ora_rowscn, scn_to_timestamp(ora_rowscn)
    order by 1 DESC
    ORA_ROWSCN SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ORA_ROWSCN)                                                  COUNT(*)
       6057143 10-DEC-12 03.25.44.000000000 PM                                                     99
       6057095 10-DEC-12 03.24.35.000000000 PM                                                   1779Before putting database in read only mode, you can also test it by creating a test table and by inserting some dummy values and monitor it..

    lately, upon immediately opening Safari, i am prompted this message, no matter what website I travel to.

  • Ipod continually pauses, even when locked

    I have a 5th generation ipod, which I bought in the U.S. but it seems since I have moved to europe, my ipod continually pauses, even when it is locked on. This problem seems to occour more when people are using 2 way radios near by, such as train stations or on the highway when passing trucks. I work in the marine industry which is constantly using 2 way radios, and this has become such a frustration, that I stopped using my ipod for the last few months. I have tried resetting my ipod, but this hasn't seemed to fix it. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated

    the only thing i can think of is if the earphone jack is removed from the socket, the iPod automatically pauses..
