Peak time connection issues. Not the usual.

For the last week or so I've had issues with my download speed in the late afternoon and Evening and late Evening.
My line should allow I think max 7.5 mbps. But usually in the evenings I get around 4-5mbps.
In the last week or so it has dropped to as low as 0.02 mbps. Averaging at about 0.45 ish.
I spoke to india and the man reading from the script on his PC eventually spoke to his supervisor, sho said I needed to have my "IP Profile" reset.
This was Yesterday, and my conection is still terrible/unusable.
Could somebody look into this please.
I ran a test on speedtest.bt.com, and got the following...
" Download speed achieved during the test was - 0.08 Mbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps. Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :7.97 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 7 Mbps"
As much as I try, I cannot get the third part of the test to work, it gets to 96% then always gives me an error.
Just to add, my parents who live 1 mile down the road, and share the same exchange and have BT Broadband, are having no issues.

OK, here's todays speedtest. 9.20 am and my conection still sucks. Strange for a morning, as it was ok during the week in the morning, maybe because it's saturday?

Camcorder connection issues (not the simple type)

Note: Also posted in OS and Hardware forums
I have a Panasonic PV-GS400 camcorder that my Mac Pro refuses to recognize. First a list of what I have confirmed.
1) There is nothing wrong with the camcorder (It will work with an iMac at my work running Leopard)
2) There is nothing wrong with the cable I am using (Connected a friend's cam corder using it)
3) There is nothing wrong with my firewire (I have a LaCie drive and have been able to interface to a different camcorder)
4) I have reinstalled quicktime w/o fixing the problem.
5) I installed my orig Tiger OS on my firewire drive and still see the same problem.
6) Both iMovieHD and FinalCut fail to recognize the camcorder.
7) All of my software and firmware is up to date.
8) I have confirmed all settings on my camcorder (It worked with another mac)
Now for the information regarding my mac:
2x3GHz Dual Core Xeon
OS X 10.4.11
Model MacPro1,1
Rom Version MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version 1.7f10 (Don't know what this is)
I appreciate any suggestions, there are only 2 things left to try (as far as I can see)
1) New OS
2) Try a Firewire 800 cable
I have searched the net quite a bit over this issue and I feel I have done my homework with no success. I have also heard some disturbing comments / BS regarding certain camcorders "just not working" with certain Mac / PCs. Is this really true?
Again thanks for any thoughts.

I thought this initially myself, but when I had the other camcorder working with my mac I went through the following steps
1) Use Canon Camorder (iMovie works, I can see the camera in the profiler)
2) Plug in the GS400 and nothing happens (Can't see it in the profiler)
3) Use Canon Camcorder again to make sure my cam is not killing the firewire and everything works as in step 1.
Thank you very much for the suggestion, I also tried a 30 min reset a couple of days ago and no difference.
Do you know if there are any firewire utilities for looking at plug in events and such?

Hi Peter!
I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
* At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
* Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
* At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

Hello,
We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
Kind regards
Udo

Hello,
Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
- Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
- Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
- GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
- CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
- After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
- Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A
Regards
Udo

Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Mar 5 00:37:11 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting

I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

8520 Email-Not the usual

Well...almost not the usual. My 8520 has the Data Services and I've already gone to the Host Routing Table to register. Neither of these have prompted the add email account instead of the Enterprise option on the email set-up. Any other ideas?????

Are you trying to use the Setup Wizard? If so, don't use that. Look for the "Email Setup" or "Manage Internet Email" icon, usually located in the Settings folder.

Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
I have tried:
using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
repairing disk
deleting launchservices cache
using other userid to login
All to no avail.
How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
Thank you.

IMac DV firmware trap- but not the usual symptoms, help?

ok, ok, I admit, I got nailed by the Firmware Trap on my friend's iMac DV 500, but I don't have the usual no-video and shutdown problems typical of the classic firmware issue. The iMac has video, and boots fine from Panther install disks, and does not shut itself down, but it won't install anything, and it won't complete booting from OS 9 install CD (it gets partway thru, but Finder won't load) or utility CDs (only goes as far as splash screen in TechToolPro OS9.2)
I knew about the update firmware issue, but since it already had OS X installed, I thought that it had the needed update, whose exact # I didn't remember and which looked correct to me in the System Profiler.. 4.1.7 (of course, now I remember, it's actually 4.1.9). The install did not give me any firmware warning, but the Panther install failed with massive errors (according to log). Eventually I read that OS10.1 could be (and was) installed and running without the update, as of course it would, having been released before the update... but that didn't occur to me at the time.
There is no working OS on the drive- I'd chosen to erase it first. Before I realized that firmware might be the issue, I (uh-oh) started it up from the Panther CD again, ran Disk Utility (which reported it "repaired" the HD)and (cringe) also booted from an OSX-based TechToolPro CD, which started up, then shut down/restarted when i tried to run tests, and would not reboot from that CD again. If it tries to start up from just the HD it comes to the blinking folder question mark screen... as it would, having no working system installed. Video seems completely normal.
I have tried an Open Firmware reset, pulled and reinstalled the RAM and backup battery, unplugged the HD, reset the logic board- nothing changed. The Sleep button trick won't work because it will not go to sleep, and it has video anyway.
My question... what, if anything, to try now?
I have video and start-up, but i can't get OS 9 to boot far enuf to install, which I need to do to be able to update the firmware. Should I pull the drive and install to it separately, then reinstall it and try to boot from it, or is this a waste of time (ie, does it sound like the logic board is already irretrievably whacked)? Any other ideas?
I tend macs for several friends and relatives who have them (non-profit!), and don't want it to get out that I inadvertently killed one!

I found these links for another topic thread. They have the technician's service manual for slot loader iMacs, in PDF format (both link to the same manual). There is a section in the manual on trouble-shooting, and it includes a section on the PMU reset procedure (pages 196 and 197).

IChat video connection issue, not related to router

I received a brand new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo just yesterday and intended to use iChat AV to video conference with my girlfriend, who has a 12" iBook G4 1.2GHz with an iSight and all system software up-to-date.
We both have DSL connections at home. We also both have wireless routers. The very first time we tried a video conference, it worked perfectly without a hiccup and everything just looked and sounded wonderful. At the time, she was connected wirelessly and I was connected both wirelessly and through Ethernet to my router's local network.
The second time we tried it (only a few hours later), seemingly without having changed any settings, it failed to work, and hasn't worked since. At first, we would get Error -22, saying something about how bandwidth is insufficient to maintain a video conference. However, I do not believe bandwidth is the real issue since all other network/internet tasks on both ends are spiffy as usual. We also both tried turning off Airport and just connecting through Ethernet to our routers' local network. Same problem.
To then determine if the problem was with one our routers, we both set them aside and plugged our DSL modems directly into our computers and connected to the internet with PPPoE. This appears to partially fix the problem: we are able to initiate a video conference, we both have audio, I can see her, but she can't see me; sort of a one-sided conference. On my screen, the image of myself freezes as soon as the conference is initiated. So unless I'm missing something, the ultimate cause of this problem doesn't appear to be the routers.
You can bet I tried a bunch of the common tips mentioned in this discussion forum before posting this question, such as changing the iChat port in the preferences, turning off Firewalls in the Sharing preferences and changing Quicktime streaming speed.
In summary, it worked once and hasn't worked since, and routers do not appear to be the cause of the issue. Does anyone have any further advice for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First off I want to thank James for his willingness to help me test connections today. James has suggested I check into upping my Mother's connection. I will definitely look into that.
I wanted to update the thread that I tried the three test accounts at Apple (appleu3test01-3) and had success from all three on my home computer via my wireless configuration no less. This is what stumps me about my connection issues with my Mother - we can both connect to others but between us we get error -8's since iChat 3. I also find it odd that this is happening even though we are both Earthlink customers - I would chalk it up to routing tables or something if we were on different ISP's.

Connection Issues in the Connection Manager

Good Morning Friends,
I hope i will get some answer or some directions here . I have been trying to find a solution for months. I have two servers TESTSQL(2008R2) PRODSQL(2008R2) . On these twos servers i have a package that loads data from source databases into the staging tables
in the data warehouse. The source servers were 2005. The packages were running great with no problem. They have upgraded the source servers to 2008r2 and now the package on the PRODSQL(2008R2) is not working. I'm getting the connection manager connection error.
we have checked all the possible places (like nameof the instance, firewall -- all the servers are internal servers). The package on TESTSQL is able to connect to the source servers and this is how we have been running the package for the time being. Please
see the below error. Any documentatiuon or link will be of great help.
TITLE: Connection Manager
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information
see SQL Server Books Online.
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
BUTTONS:

Hi thinkingeye,
Based on my research, this 503 error usually means that the SQL Server computer can't be found or that the TCP port number is either not known, or is not the correct port number, or is blocked by a firewall.
According to your description, it seems that the issue is caused by you cannot ping the IP Address of the source server in the command prompt window of PRODSQL server or the source SQL Server is blocked by the firewall in the PRODSQL server.
For more details about how to fix this issue, please refer to the following blog:
