Problems with a/v skipping and USB lock up

I'm having no end of trouble with the latest kernels. I'm not sure when the problems started so I am going to try downgrading until they go away, or build the kernel myself (might be a new feature being enabled that doesn't like my system).
After starting Azureus, playing video will cause the audio and video to stall for about 1 second and then it rushes to catch up. In fact, it seems like everything stalls (mouse cursor is also affected). This happens every minute or so. The problem persists even after closing Azureus, until I reboot.
df takes about 20 seconds to run. It seems to wait a few seconds for each hard drive. I think this issue appeared with 2.6.22.
I tried to copy a large amount of files (about 60GB) to a USB hard drive last night. It stopped at about 20%. I tried to kill the process but it would not budge. I could not even reboot - I had to sync, pull the plug, and hope for the best.

Used a little different setup today. You can see it here . (Fig.3)
I did some experimenting using Trillian and AIM on the PC with the following results:
iChat-Trillian
Mac-> Pc Video Chat yes
Pc->Mac Video Chat no
Mac->Pc Tlf. Yes
Pc->Mac Tlf. No
Mac-> Pc File transf. Yes
Pc->Mac File tranesf. Yes
Mac->Pc Direct connect yes
Pc->Mac Direct connect kind of...the picture never shows, just the path on the client it was sent from, like c:/desktop/mysecrets/microcraft.jpg
iChat-AIM
Mac-> Pc Video Chat An unknown error occurred
Pc->Mac Video Chat Yes {AOL} is shown
Mac->Pc Tlf. n/a
Pc->Mac Tlf. n/a
Mac-> Pc File transf. yes
Pc->Mac File transf. yes
Mac->Pc Direct connect yes
Pc->Mac Direct connect yes
Trillian is behaving in a similar way from my experiences with other macs. I'll have to try that too of course. What's strange here is how different the PC clients are working. I've also tried switching the IP's on the machines with the exact same results. Is the software the actual problem? I'll just have to get that other mac to find out...arghh, too tired right now Zzzzzzzzz.....
If the service to me is NATed? Yes
and the rest... Well the ISP is convinced that it is the Cisco routers, but having their mail server hacked they are (still) busy figuring that out...

Problems with 10.4.9 and USB memory stick??

Since I've updated to 10.4.9 I'm having nothing but grief when using my Memorex USB 1GB memory stick. I use it for backing up crucial files (e.g address book, etc.)
Now, when I attempt to copy files to the memory stick, the system goes into an infinite loop (spinning beachball forever) -- even all night long, even though the files I'm transferring aren't very big. Some of my files copy, but some don't.
This has happened three times now. The Finder is "not responding" and won't even let me do a relaunch -- I end up with a blank screen with a corrupted menu bar. The only thing that gets me going again is to Power OFF, twice!! After the first power off, pause, power on, I just get the Apple logo and spinning spokes. Soon the fan comes on full force in the CPU. Runs forever. So, power off again, pause, power on and this time the start up is OK, my desktop etc. all appear OK. (I remove the memory stick before powering on).
On the latest attempt, I had to power off and on three times before things were OK.
I erased the memory stick to start fresh, but still, the same problem -- and infinite Finder loop when attempting to copy files over. Lots of available space. Some files/folders copy. But when I simply try to open a folder on the stick, ....the infinite loop again.
What's going on??!!________

The repetitive powering off and on has resulted in a damaged drive directory and/or corrupted system files. Although you can try repairing the hard drive I suspect you will have to reinstall OS X.
Try this first:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If this doesn't help (and I don't think it will) but the hard drive is repaired and OK, then you can reinstall OS X by doing an Archive and Install which does not erase the drive:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
If the hard drive cannot be repaired then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall OS X.

If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work. If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

Problems with LabVIEW 7.1 and lock-in amplifier Stanford SR530?

Does has anybody had problems with LabVIEW 7.1 and the instrument driver for the lock-in amplifier Stanford SR530?
With LabVIEW 6 there are no problems at all, but with LabVIEW 7.1 it is impossible to communicate with the instrument.

Here is the code and snippet. I had it from before. It reads Channel 1 and Channel 2 from the SR530, that is whatever the display is for Channel 1 & 2. You set the display manually or programmatically, I let you figure that part out.

My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

Hi
My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Problems with Vodafone/Huawei E220 wireless usb Modem

Hi there,
My faithful Powerbook is having issues with a company issued Vodafone Vodem (Huawei E220 wireless HSDPA 3G USB modem).
It worked well at first, but then after restarting, waking from sleep or rebooting from off, the Vodem would cease to connect to Vodafone, with the Vodafone Modem Software giving me a cryptic message "No modem or data card attached".
Yesterday, I tried reinstalling and uninstalling the software, and after several installation/uninstallations, it finally reconnected. It has since stopped working again since shutting down the Powerbook overnight. Reinstalling has not yet worked.
I read somewhere on the net that leaving the modem plugged in for a minute before attempting to connect might work - alas no such luck.
Has anyone else out there had problems with their Vodafone/Huawei E220 USB wireless modem, and how did you resolve the problem?
I have tried both the New Zealand 2.07 version, plus the European 2.08 version of the Vodafone connectivity software.
I am running a Powerbook 15", 1.67ghz, MacOS 10.4.11, 512MB, no other peripherals connected.

No experience, but what happens if you log out then back in?
Does a New User have that problem?

I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.
btabz
I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.

I downloaded a new version of firefox. It said it had problems with my norton toolbar and now it doesn't feature it in the window. I'm not that comp savvy. How do I either get the Norton toolbar up or go back to the old firefox? Thank you.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.
