QIP2500-3 - Unit goes on by it's self

this has happened several times, twice last night. the unit goes on by itself and because I have speakers hooked up directly to the STB, it wakes us up. It's very strange because the unit still shows the time and not the channel like it normally would when it's on. when this has happened in the past, I just use the remote and turn it off but last night it would not respond and I had to unplug it.
any suggestions?

Most likely this is due to a reset or update from Verizon (my boxes appear to have cycled last night). I assume you mean you have an external amp and speakers (or PC style powered speakers) as the STB does not have the ability to directly drive the speakers. The probable solution is to turn off the power to the amp / speakers when you retire.

Budgeted Labor Units going out past Finish Date

I have a resource loaded schedule that is not being leveled and when I open the Activity Usage Spread Sheet or run a Resource Loading Report showing Budgeted, Actual, Remaining Labor Units it shows that I have Budgeted Labor Units extending out way past my Finish Date.
Budgeted Labor Units = 6558
Actual Labor Units = 5107
Remaining = 1431
Current Finish is 4/30/12
Budgeted Labor Units goes out to week of 12/31/12
Remaining Labor Units goes out to week of 4/30/12

Thank you for your reply Jake.
1) The battery is being charged.
I have made sure of that. I do see the amber light and using iStat Pro widget it shows it being charged. Currently at 88% health and 166 cycles.
2) I have it set to put the computer to sleep if it is inactive for 1hr 15mins - on the power adapter - and around 20 minutes when on battery.
3) My fingers can't reach that key combination.
Thanks again for your help.
If all else fails, I'll try the SMC reset to see.
The annoying thing is it doesn't happen all the time - or consistently whatsoever.

MBP mid-2009 going to sleep by it self

Hi,
since I updated to Yosemite my MBP has been going to sleep by it self, I will say every 15min or so. Before it goes to sleep it ask me if I want to close all my programs and it gives me 59sec. to make a decision.
I have set my computer to never go to sleep, either charging or not, and stills doing this. I find it really annoying because if i'm not in my computer it will close all my programs and I will have to open everything again.
Any help on this??
thx

Greetings jchapui,
If you are having an issue with your MacBook Pro going to sleep unexpectedly, I would suggest resetting the computer's System Management Controller. This article explains how -
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Sepcifically -
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

When is "The Unit" going to be available on Itunes?

I have been waiting on this show forever, all these crappy shows are available and they leave out the good stuff. Is there a way of making requests for the show? thanks for any info.

zimmatore Great news! Advanced calling is already available for a wide variety of devices. The Moto X is expected to have the advanced calling feature with a future software update. Which software version is installed on the device?

WLSE doesn't seem to notice it when an Aironet device goes down

WLSE type: 1105, version 2.7
Aironet 1100 devices (267 pieces), IOS 12.2(13)JA4
After the upgrade from version 2.6 to 2.7 we have a problem with the WLSE. Device discoveries and inventories run without a problem, but whenever a device goes down the WLSE doesn't seem to notice.
With a sniffer we found the WLSE's polling the device, but there's no follow-up when there's no reply. As a result the device stays green.
All configurations are the same with the exeption of one location. Here we've configured the WDS and this is the only location on which the WLSE reacts in the correct way.
On several other locations there might be one or two devices on which the WLSE reacts correctly, but these are exeptions. We have compared configuration files, but can't find any differences between the devices.
Whenever the WLSE does discover a failing device (with no WDS configured) it generates a P1 severity fault (default was P2).
In case these devices have become reachable again the P1 severity fault is automatically acknowledged and remains this way. So far I haven't been able to clear these faults and therefor the device will keep it's alert status in the reportview.
I do hope somebody has some idea about what's going on.
After I encountered these problems after the upgrade I've started from scratch and used a clean installation of version 2.7. and a new discovery of our network.
I really don't know what went wrong. Anybody with any suggestions is very welcome to vent them.
Thanks for your help,
Corine

I'm having a similar issue. 500+ AP1200 units, IOS 15JA, newest WLSE version. Most of the time when a unit goes down, it will generate a SNMP unreachable fault message, and we are set to have the WLSE send an email in the event of a SNMP unreachable. That's great. Except once in awhile, it won't generate the fault. The device could be powered completely down for three or four days, and I'd never get a fault message. It's driving me nuts. All these AP's are configured the same using the exact same template, with only the IP info changed.

Playback of video and music slow after unit has been in standby

I recently purchased a 64GB playbook and loaded a few movies in AVI and MP4 format as well as afew albums in MP3 format, When playing the files all works fine until the device is put into standby and then restarted, the video and music playback is running at around a quarter of the speed ond is choppy, even the HD demo plays back at the reduced rate, when the device is switched off and restarted then everything is back to normal until the unit goes into standby again, I have a 16GB device abd this one plays the same files with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be
Thanks

any apps running next to the video player ?
go to the options of the playbook, then About, then Hardware in the dropdown menu. How much "Free memory" do you have while the video is lagging?

I'm having the same problem. Have you had any luck since you posted your question?

Consistent failure of unit

August 2013 – purchased
Nov 2013 – realized I was unable to load Contacts. Visited The Mobile Shop (TMS); they couldn’t figure it out.
Through 2013, 2014 – not able to load contacts; although phone messages received, no ‘history’ log of incoming or outgoing calls.
July 2014 – screen unresponsive. After several visits, TMS realized settings required ‘double-tap’ on screen. Reset. Not sure how this setting was made.
Oct – Nov 2014 – still unable to load contacts, phone numbers, etc. Contacted Bell – their view is that the problem is with the unit, not their service; understood. Contacted personal friend who is RIM employee – he recommended the draconian step of simply wiping out entire dbase and resetting unit (going into settings and entering ‘blackberry’). Did this, started unit back up, and everything seems to work properly.   Entered several contacts and phone logs are now recorded. So finally the unit is working as it was supposed to a year previous.
Dec 2014 – sporadic difficulty where screen will not respond. TMS several times; after several (3?) visits, finally got unit to work properly…. For a couple of days, then nothing responds again. This happens repeatedly – the unit works properly but after a couple of days everything goes haywire and it’s unresponsive; a visit to TMS restores it for another few days.
Today, a visit to TMS revealed that my screen is only working at the border area – while swiping from the edge will result in a response, tapping anywhere in the centre of the screen has no effect.
Just now, as I’m typing this, my phone rang, but I can’t answer it; swiping the button to the side does nothing…. So I jot down the displayed phone number and will call them on my home phone.
I am not a person who goes in and screws around with the ‘settings’. I don’t need all the pictures, text, web-access, and downloading.   All I have ever wanted is a phone that takes messages, and some contacts. For almost a year-and-a-half, this unit has been unable to provide me this.
Lots of acquaintances have either Blackberrys or other smartphones. Over the year, I often pass them my phone and ask them to try it – just to see if I’m dumb, or am making a mistake. They always pass it back saying something to the effect of ‘that’s weird’, or ‘something’s wrong there’. They can’t make it work, either.
I dutifully believe that RIM makes a good product. But after almost a year-and-a-half of this product providing practically no service at all, I need something better. I would like a replacement.
When I talk to the TMS store, they say I need to contact you (Blackberry) regarding this.
Solved!

Usb ports going out

My usb ports keep randomly ejecting anything plugged into them. How do I replace/repair the usb ports in my Early 2008 MacBook Pro 15 inch? I have already gone to System Preferences and unchecked the option to sleep the hard disks when the unit goes to sleep.

As Dale says:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 and 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard changed the location of a number of system components.

Grounding a head unit

head unit going into a boat...the ground wire is supposed to be screwed into the metal chassis, only its a boat. What do I do?

Best Buy does not offer free install all the time but the do run sales and promotion ever so often(last time I know was May).

Nano7 turns itself ON, goes flat.

I have a nano7. Updated to the latest OS yesterday. Now it continually turns itself ON about a minute after I turn it off.
To turn it off, I am holding the top button to make the screen dim and a spinning wheel appear. I continue to hold the button until the unit goes off. I then put the unit down. It is NOT connected by cables to anything; bluetooth is off, I do not have a nike sport kit.
60 seconds later it turns itself ON, and stays ON for a while and turns off again. It then turns itself on, stays on for a while and turns off again. Over and over and over. Leaving it alone will drain the battery completely.
This is undesired behaviour. I really need this tomorrow morning, but it will be flat.

Depending on your location we have been rolling out updates for the boxes overnight. If the events have stopped this could be the cause. If the speakers aren't on the switched stb outlet for a particular reason you might move them to a non switched to avoid the problem in the event of future resets/maint/upgrades.

I have a 24" mid 2008 imac when i plug the head phone jack into my stereo i have a hum that never goes away.

i have tried grounding both the head unit and also the computer it self and all i find is the noise is still there. what can i do to get rid of the noise? i think the problem is in the grounding of the head phone jack it's self but i dont know. has any one else had this same problem? thanks for your time.

How did you confirm grounding? How old is your house? Does it have 3-prong outlets? If not, there's no guarantee they are wired right even if they are the ones with one wider prong slot. If they are 3-prong, that's still no gurantee they are wired right. You would need one of the below to be sure. Just trying to save a lot of troubleshooting of devices when it could be your house wiring.

Unit showing iTunes and USB cable only and iTouch is "frozen"

Here is how I cleared this up and got the unit working again after downloading and installing 2.2.1 and hosing up the unit. Some of these steps may not have been needed, but it worked for me!
Loaded iTunes to another pc (Windows XP). Opened iTunes and connected the unit via a usb and now iTunes did recognize my unit. My regular machine would not even do that! iTunes said a unit that was in "recovery mode" and you could not use it with iTunes until it was "reset". So I clicked on "reset" and got connected with the download on Apple and it started downloading the files necessary, it said. Found out later it was the 2.2.1 upgrade. Anyway after several hours the download finished. I then held down the "shift" key and clicked "restore" at the same time and a window opened and I had to search for the download which was in "document and settings, owner, application data, Apple Computer then iPod software update and there was the file. I opened that and it started working on the iTouch. After it completed, I moved the unit to my regular pc and it then recognized my unit and I hit restore again (I am a little hazy about this step because I got real excited when the unit was recognized, but if you get his far I think you can figure it out) and it set my unit back to it's old self. I then had to resync the music, applications etc.
So far everything is now working. If you have any questions, please yell. I have written this in a hurry and maybe some of it does not make sense.

I am not familiar with error 18. This article is my goto for all error codes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
When you see iTunes and the USB icon, you have to restore it. You may have to place it into recovery mode. Follow the instructions here if so.

So I was going to buy a 3G phone but...

I get a phone home, and there is NO 3G, although it works on the street fine and also have WIFI, but when I turn to 3G I get no BARS, when I turn it OFF (3G) I get full strentgth.
So what gives, why would it work on the street and not 200feet away? Could low battery do it?
Then again, NON 3G=full bars.
Thanks

*> In conclusion, stop trolling, stop lying.*
*You sir are a non computer person and do not understand computers, wi-fi, and download speeds at all.*
*I had a friend that told me he got 300K per second, and I said really, for how much? That's 1 Mega byte in 3.2 seconds. or 3000 mega bits per second. I tested his line with a speed test and he was getting about 100K per second or 1 MEGABYTE per 10 seconds, or 1000 mega bits per second.*
*As I type right now, you either don't know what you're talking about or simply misunderstood.*
*My Wi-Fi gets about 10,100K per second or when I download a file, 1.2MEGA BYTES per second, meaning, I can download a 700MB CD in 600 seconds.*
*Here, take a look, see, this is wi-fi, 10xxx per second, wireless.*
*http://img380.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4iy6.png*
*Anyway his device was 5 times faster than iPhone and was tested at CNET as well as testmyiphone.com and he got 1900 megabits, or 190K per second, or almost 200K per second, or 1 MB in 5 seconds, and the iPhone got 58K or 580 mega bits or 1 MEGABYTE in 20 seconds, and is much slower than his other device.*
*Learn the difference, so many confuse megabits and megabytes all the time and high speed sells packages as 786Mps which really means 78K not 780K where my line is sold through cable as 10MBps = 1 megabyte per second, or 10,000K, and 784K (as seen by packages) are 78K or almost 100K meaning, 10 seconds to download a megabyte.*
*So no, I am not lying. Learn the difference.*
*iphone 5 times slower than his other phone.*
*iphone came in around 58K, other phone 190K, or 584 and 1900 any my computer if on the same numbering system is 10100, or 101K or 1.1MB, again, another person that has no idea what they are talking about.*
*My speed (and wireless at that, is 88% faster than the rest of the country and 92% faster than the rest of the world).*
*Believe what you want, but at least learn the correct terminology...*
*http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture5jj8.png*
**For those that are, like my friends and this person here, many, and I do mean many, are misinformed...**
*I pay $24.99 for a 10Meg service which really translates to 1.2MEGABYTES per second download.*
*Take a look at this image that I snapped when I was testing...It shows my speed (wireless too) at 10525 or 1.0Meg per second, as in megabyte, not megabit, which is what the other numbers before it are, so when you see a cable or DSL selling a package for 512, or 1.5 speeds, they are talking about 150K per second, or 6 seconds or so to download 1MB.*
*Notice on this chart it says 512, 1M, 1.5, 3M (or 300K), 5M (or 500K) or 10M (meaning 1 megabyte).....which is what I am getting.*
http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture6rk5.png
Many, even after years and years of being around, don't know the difference between megabyte and megebit (which is what service providers sell their packages at) and are mislead thinking 1.5Meg service means 1.5 megabyte when in fact it means 150K per second......
The fastest you can get in this country today is 30M service, or 3 megabyte per second, only in Boston that I know of.
SO it seems that this replier does not know what he is talking about and I don't mean to flame him but if I have to give a class on speeds and how they are marketed and so on, so be it.
I also discovered that the iPhone speeds are GLOBAL and that other phones DO NOT have problems so its the phone, not the service provider and I am speculating that the antenna is either faulty, or tuned down for longer battery life. That said, I was in the Apple store and played with a ATT phone (older iphone) and it was faster than the newer iPhone and this was an ATT phone (who is a friend of mine), so maybe he tweaked his out, I will be talking to him and will report back on this as this is an EPIC problem that seems to be global. Apple will not be able to sit and do nothing about this, the repercussions are to huge, google iphone 3g slow speed woes and you will see story after story, hopefully, this can be fixed on the next batch of phones, regardless of battery life, I am thinking you are going to need 2 batteries to get though a day and the phone is going to have to be self replaceable. Note the screws this time.
WE'll see.

Apple TV...how to connect to get sound through my sound system (I have a satellite receiver and also Russound system)

Just hooked up my Apple TV. It's great. I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through. Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this. My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine. I would like it to come through my sound system instead. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Hi:
My system is as follows. 1 only HDMI output on TV. I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit. I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV.
I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit. 2 I have used.....
1 input from my television satellite receiver
2 input from my Apple TV
My other equipment is
1 home theatre system. This is where the sound from my TV goes through
1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound.
