Pre-n enabler seems to cause issues with lock up/beach ball

I just received my new C2D MBP yesterday with 3G of RAM and all was peachy. I decided to install the $1.99 Pre-N enabler patch from Apple and it appears that I'm not alone in having that cause system lock ups and beach balls from ****.
I unfortunately seem to be in the same boat. It runs for awhile and then all of a sudden it will just lock up and I'll get the spinning beach ball from **** forever, until I reboot.
I'm using mine with a NetGear Pre-N wireless router and while I'm getting 140kpbs connections I am getting a lot of receive errors and the machine just goes off to la-la land.
I was worried about something else until I read these posts over in Internet & Networking and now I'm wondering if there really is an issue with whatever the "enabler" did. It ceratinly appears to be this. Nothing else seems to cause it this kind of beach ball death.
So now I guess we need to look for an "un-enabler" patch. Just out of curiosity where do we email problems like this to get resolved?
UGGHHHHHHH!!!

I have this same problem. I reported a bug to apple bug id#4990056
Here is what i wrote:
10-Feb-2007 10:36 PM Brooks Roy:
Summary:
I recently got a Linksys WRT350N 802.11n router and using it with my macbook pro core 2 duo. The router is firmware version 1.03.2.
After installing the enabler from the apple site i verified it upgraded properly and it shows a/b/g/n for my airport card. However the computer has been locking up more and more. I finally narrowed it down to the airport card. Here is what happens:
Steps to Reproduce:
With regular airport usage, the mac will all of the sudden give the spinning 'beach ball' and just sit there. A simple http download will stop and the mac will become unresponsive. I cannot launch new applications. The icons will bounce in the dock but never open. I cannot force-quit any applications. My only option is to hold down the power button for a hard shutdown.
I can almost duplicate the issue 7 times out of 10. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes or so before it locks up, sometimes its almost immediately.
I have done a full fsck and permissions. I also downloaded tiger cache cleaner and cleaned all settings. I have also booted off the apple install cd and done a extended full RAM check on the 2Gb installed in my computer.
I have restored my IO80211Family.kext from my other macbook pro (regular core duo) and my problems have gone away. I am 100% sure there is a bug with the 802.11n enabler and the Linksys WRT350N.
I do not have any special configuration on my linksys, just MAC based wireless authentication.
When using the MacBook pro on the WRT350N in 802.11g without the latest 802.11n enabler the mac performs fine and does not become unresponsive.
Expected Results:
I expect the mac to perform just as a 802.11g network will work with increased transfer speeds.
Actual Results:
See above.
Regression:
It only occurs when using network traffic (i.e Mail.app, Safari browsing sites, etc. Any application that requires Airport.
Notes:
I am using the original IO80211Family.kext driver that does not have 802.11n support and it works properly. Also using builtin ethernet with airport off and the 802.11n driver works (obviously).

  • Reader causing issues with dropped underscores in courier new font

    When converting a microsoft word document in 2013 or 2007 to a PDF is causing issues with dropped underscores.  It only seems to happen in courier new.  For instance if I have _someCode, when converting this over to a PDF file I will sometimes see _someCode and sometimes I will see someCode.  If I open this file in a different pdf reader then it looks correct 100% of the time.  If I copy and paste into another application then the underscore shows.  This is a major issue for people putting code into a PDF document as underscores are important and courier new is what we often use.

    I love how quick you are to throw Microsoft under the bus.  Often it is their fault.  In this case I believe you are 100% wrong and absolutely short sighted to ignore this.  As I said in my original email, which you apparently missed, I have tried this in multiple PDF viewers and Adobe Reader is the ONLY reader that misses the underscores.  Foxit, PDF Exchange and Sumatra all render it perfectly.  Adobe reader missed 6 underscores in my document that has 18 underscores.  30% of the time in this document Adobe Reader makes the underscore invisible.  And if I switch the zoom to 100% instead of 148% (which is the default for me for some reason) then Adobe Reader misses 7 of them.  This doesnt occur in the other readers.  Blame Microsoft all you want but the simple fact is that Adobe Reader has issues reading courier new's underscores.  It needs to be fixed.

  • MovieClip Filter Causing issues with EventListeners (mouseEvent.ROLL_OVER)

    Hello,
    I have been working on a flash photo gallery for the web. It loads thumbnails from an xml file into a loader which is then made the child of a movieclip.
    The thumbnails are animated and triggered with mouse events of ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OFF. I have this working, or appearing to, when the movieclip containing the loaded thumbnail has no filters applied to it.
    I want add a drop shadow on the ROLL_OVER event and remove the drop shadow on the ROLL_OFF event. I also have this working, however my problem arises when I mouse over the very edge of the movieclip. This cauese the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OFF function to fire in rapid succession, creating a flashing dropshadow. This looks aweful and I really have no idea what would be causing this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Regards.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I also found it difficult to believe that the filter was causing issues with the roll over/out events. I will expand on the example code you provided so you get an idea of what I am trying to accomplish and where my issues arise.
    EDIT: I should add that the issue is only present when I tween AND add a filter. If I only add a filter or if I only tween I have no issues but the combination or adding a filter and tweening causes the OVER/OUT events to fire rapidly.
    //This code does not result in a flashing animation
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overClip);
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outClip);
    function overClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1.5 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1.5 , 3, true);
    function outClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1 , 3, true);
    //However if i add these lines of code to add and remove a filter I can observe the flashing effect when the mouse is near the edge of the moveclip
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overClip);
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outClip);
    function overClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myClip.filters = [myDropShadowFilter];
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1.5 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1.5 , 3, true);
    function outClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myClip.filters = [];
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1 , 3, true);
    Is there something obviously wrong with this approach to adding a filter/tweening? I am fairly new to flash.
    Thanks again!

  • I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. How can I resolve this issue?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. There are a number of issues I have run across:
    If I have four tabs open on Safari then I start to get a flickering on the screen from the GPU refreshing
    When I leave the computer alone for more than 20 mins the screen saver should start -- what happens is that the screen goes to black. When I move the cursor I do not get the login screen. I have to reboot
    FireFox Web browser will not run
    I get issues with the computer running very slowly
    I have already turned off the transparency option in settings. Any ideas??

    Do you have more than one OS on the Mac?
    You may want to look at something like http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/. This has a Free Trial window, but it is a commercial application. If there are any heat/sensor issues, this may help.
    A SMC Reset or PRAM/NVRAM reset may also help.

  • Issue with locked sessions

    I am having some issues with locked sessions. I attempt to clear the

    NW6 SP5 needs nw6nss5c in order for NSS to work properly; once applied
    then do
    nss /poolrebuild /purge
    on all pools. Make sure you have tested backups first, just in case.

    Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple?  I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

    Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
    BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

  • Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why

    Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why?  This happens only on a 5 year old iMac running 10.6.8.  It is a recent developmemt.  All other machines have no problen with the same card.

    I click on the send feedback everytime it pops up with the force quit, so they'er getting it.
    That sends a crash report. Its doubtful that these are ever seen by a human being, but more likely datamined. Sending feedback reaches an actual person.
    My guess from yourdescription is that the portion of the OS (note, OS, not iPhoto) that manages the importing process is what's crashing.

  • IPhoto 9 just sits there with a spinning beach ball of DEATH!

    Hello. I upgraded my G5 power pc to OSX 10.5.8. I upgraded to iLife 9 (8.1.2). Since I did this iLife, iDVD & iMovie just sit there with the spinning beach ball of DEATH.
    Before my upgrade I had 22 G of hard disk space. I’m now down to 4G of hard drive space. I cannot get into iPhoto to back up any of the pictures. I have run Tech Tool, Onyx, I did a hard wear test from my original Mac disks. Everything passed.
    I reinstalled iLife 4 times so far. I have thrown out all the plists. So far nothing is working.
    Any help would be wonderful.
    Thanks.

    That library may have been corrupted by having it on an over full disk.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and see if that will open it.
    If not then Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards

  • Exchange upgrade causing issues with internal wiri...

    Recently our exchange was upgraded to accommodate bt infinity and at the same time our broadband started playing up. we called bt and I spent 1.5 hours checking and re checking equipment with the call center. Tests were done with the hub at either end of the internal wiring. All the tests were still showing faults even with hub connected to the test socket. They asked me to leave connected for 24 hours while they monitor the line. They promised to call me back which they did not. I called them again the following day to be told I should have left the hub in the test socket which I was not told the previous day. I then had to wait 48 hours while they monitored the line this time in the test socket. All the tests still showed the fault was still there so an engineer called out.
    The hub was still in the test socket when engineer arrived and the first thing he did was hook up his test equipment to the test socket and he stated there and then that there was nothing wrong with the line but it had been throttled down. 2 minute phone call and 10 minutes later broadband was back and working perfectly at the test socket. He checked the internal extention and the faults were being thrown up by an extension that has been in place for 10 years +. He stated to me that the new equipment installed in the exchange was more advanced and did more line checks so, although this equipment has been used for Internet with BT for 10 years it is no longer adequate.
    All of this I find understandable but the whole way that BT handled this from day 1 of my first call has been appalling. BT openly admitted that the original engineer calls were handled badly and we were credited £9 for the lack of services we had for overly long time. However we are now, 2 months after this, faced with nearly £130 charge for the engineer visit which, looking back with the info I have now, was completely unnecessary. Had the engineers on the phone bothered to reset the line while hub was in the test socket when they were allegedly monitoring it for 48 hours they could have told me there were no faults on their equipment up to the socket and I would have sorted out the internal wiring myself. Even now I can find mention on the Internet of old wiring causing issues but no specific posts to do with exchange upgrades potentially meaning that you need to upgrade internal wiring or mention by the BT call center itself on any of the calls I made to them. All I was told was that everything up to the main box is BT and everything after that mine but since we have made no changes to the wiring we did not think it was applicable until the engineer arrived and told us what he told us then. Yesterday I called Bt again around 9am to dispute the charge. I was informed that because the fault was with our equipment the charge stands. I explained all of the above and I had my case put to the review team. I was told I would get a call back within 4 hours which I did but the phone rang 3 times and as I answered they hung up. I then got a text saying they had tried to call and asked for me to call back which I did to be told that his computer wasn't working. He took my details and said someone would call me back which no one did. I chased again to be told that someone would definitely call me that day. No one did. I chased again today to be told the decision still stands. He has put to final review and promised a call back within 5 days. Until this is resolved direct debit is cancelled. To the letter of the contract we have with BT this is our charge to pay I know that but this could have been avoided if the information was out there on the net, if the original checks done over the phone were done correctly or if I had been told this directly by Bt themselves prior to the engineer being called out which is why I am posting this here so hopefully no one else falls into this trap.

    You're right I'm not connected to the BT infinity cabinet. But the BT Infinity cabinets all still route back through the exchange that I am connected to -
    http://www.ichilton.co.uk/blog/phones/faster-broadband-bt-infinity-fibre-to-the-cabinet-coming-to-in...
    Quote :
    What this modem does is connects using VDSL from your home to the VDSL cabinet using the existing copper wires, on to the DSLAM, back to the exchange (over the fibre) and on to BT’s core network.
    Your phone line is then still terminated in the original cabinet for telephony (using the cross connect between the old and new cabinets I mentioned above) and back to the exchange over the original multi pair copper cable as it always has done.
    http://www.robertos.me.uk/html/fttx.html
    Quote:
    FTTC involves BT Openreach installing a new street cabinet near to the existing one and linking the two. They run optical fibre from the exchange to the new cabinet then link individual lines from the old cabinet to the new one and back to get VDSL2 onto the copper connection to the premises. The PSTN phone connection continues to operate over the pre-existing cable from the old cabinet to the exchange.  It does not get put onto the fibre connection.
    In other words the linkage is Exchange >> Old >> DSLAM in New >> Old >> Premises. (Traffic in both directions of course!)
    Presumably the equipment in the exchange cannot stay as it is and is upgraded in the process?

    wiki. I did the following after adding the 2 web parts:
    Entered edit mode for the page
    Started to edit the Search Results web part
    Under Properties for Search Results clicked on "Change Query"
    Navigated to BASICS and clicked "Switch to Quick Mode"
    For Select Query, picked "Wiki (System)" option
    For Restrict by app, picked "Specify a URL" and input the wiki URL "http://webapp.com/sites/sitecollection/wiki"
    Click OK
    The web part has 6 automatic results when I hit the page. These are the only 6 pages in my wiki. When I search a word or title of a page, they are not ranked in order or relevance. The ordering is static to what was being shown before the search, but the
    keywords I'm searching are bold. With out the taking the steps above, I can easily search these pages and have them ranked appropriately so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. 
    Other Details
    The pages have been crawled and can be searched from anywhere else in SP.
    I am only a site collection admin for this specific site collection.
    I other than the steps above, I have not made any changes or customization to the search web parts; they are both out of the box SP.
    The SP Farm admin we unable to pin point what the root cause is either.

    Hi Mikael,
    Sorry for the wait, I was unable to post pictures, which i felt would better describe my issue.
    Could you output the query template you are ending up with?
    If you can tell me how to accomplish this, then I can provide it. Please keep in mind that I am only a site collection admin.
    Also, is the ranking/sorting for your webpart set to ranking?
    When looking at the web part settings, I didn't see an option to modify the ranking. Unfortunately, some sites in my intranet are down now so I can't even double check. Once it's back up, I will verify this as well.
    And how do you know they are ranked incorrectly?
    I wanted to display an image showing what I meant by this. As the wiki is down, I'll do my best with words. When I visit the wiki home page, I already have the search and search results web parts there. Without searching anything, the search results
    web part displays 6 pages that are available in the wiki. When I search, I expect to see the most relevant result at the top. similar to the following: 
    *Search result from another section of the intranet site.*
    What I receive instead is the same list of wiki pages, in the same order. The most relevant result
    is not moved to the top like in the image above, but I can see that the word "rush" is highlighted in bold. I hope this helps.
    If you need more of a description, please let me know.
    Thank you

    Hi jprice49,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    Are you able to test with another battery to rule out any issue with the battery itself on your BlackBerry® Storm2™ 9550 smartphone? I would advise trying this step first. If that does not resove the issue, please try to back up your data and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software. For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
    For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
    For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
    Hope this helps.
