Random & repeated waking issues - PROBLEM SOLVED

my macbook would randomly awaken, sometimes in rapid succession, even with the lid closed. The cause was a wireless logitech mouse. I did a clean reinstall and got a mighty mouse and the problem has not recurred. I also read about other issues with logitech mice and macs, including non-waking without restarting, on another web forum.
hopefully, some of the many posters with similiar problems will find this info useful.

Ah probably should have mentioned what I was running perhaps? Totaly forgot:

PC random lock up/crash *PROBLEM SOLVED*

At first, my system specs
A64 3000+ boxed
1GB Kingston valueram DDR 400 + 512MB Transcend DDR 400
K8N Neo Fisr
Antec Truepower 430W
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ XT
SB Live! 5.1
Maxtor diamondmax 9+ 120gb + some old 40gb ibm deskstar
Plextor PX712A
Win XP
I bought and installed K8N Neo Fisr but now I encounter some real problems.
I've tried to play two games: Pro evolution soccer 4 and GTA san andreas. Both worked fine yesterday
with my old mobo.
PES4 locks up on loading screen (at random point), on the menu or in the
actual game. The computer might also crash/reboot after playing a few seconds.
GTA locks up/reboots my computer on the main menu. Sometimes after GTA crash, Windows doesn't load.
It just locks up after the blue loading bar has disappeared. If I go to safe mode or keep the comp shut down for a while,
it will usually load windows again.
Things I've tried without any help:
-Using different IDE and power cables
-Installing memories to different slots
-Using both memories independently
-Using maxtor hd alone as a primary master (has windows installed)
-removing Nvidia ide drivers and using windows standard drivers instead
-installing different graphic drivers
-updating bios
-checking temperatures (around 35-50 with load)
-reinstalling windows
Dxdiag video and audio test run without problems. Everything worked just fine yesterday with the old mobo.
Any ideas?
EDIT: "reinstalling windows"
EDIT: SOLVED, Mobo failure. Tried a different copy -> no problems

Quote from: Dream_true on 30-June-05, 08:48:04
The OS should be installed on the MB,guarantee it. Do not remove the HDD with OS from your old MB.
Change other memory to verify. Verify different VGA drivers. Use Liveupdate to update MB's drivers to the latest version.
Have done that, don't help. I formatted my HD and installed windows again for this MB.
What I noticed is that when I had my comp turned off for a few hours and started to play PES4 immediately after turning the power on, I was able to play it for like 5 minutes. Usually I can hardly get to the menus before it locks up. Sometimes I can play but it locks up after like 5-10 seconds. When it lock ups, the screen turns blue.

IPad iOS 4.2.1 Battery depletion issue - problem solved

After finding my battery draining 50% faster aftter the upgrade I realized that the problem might be the "find my iPad" service that I activated just after the upgrade. To test my theory, I turned the service off and recharged the battery back to 100%. Good news! The battery consumption is back to what it was before the upgrade. It's too bad that the service is such a power hog. I'll be leaving it turned off. I hope this helps some of the rest of you concerned about this issue.

If that doesn't make a difference, try restoring (after syncing) and using auto brightness option.
I did all of the above and battery drain is now back to Pre 4.2 levels.

How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
I've written a similar example at http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/bip/tipps/Dynamische_Queries/index.html ... but it's in german.

Mail & Adress Book: issues sending group mail - Problem solved

I started writing this discussion because I could not get something to work. As I wrote it, I made many tests to confirm what I was writing and also read several past discussions on the subject. I ended up solving my problem and decided to share my findings. Hope it is useful to other people.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH ALL RECIEPIENTS SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
SENDING FROM THE MAIL APPLICATION:
To start do the following: Mail/Preferences/Composing check «Show members of a group»
Then for a group name with two or more words OR wit a one word group name, start writing the group name in the «TO» header of an email wait until the « () » appears highlithed in a color as you slowly write the Address Book group name and then select the group name from the scroling list appearing below which comes from your Adress Book (whether it's open or not). If you choose in a selection list before the « () » appears as you type, you could end up with an empty list and the group email does not work. When the « () » does not yet appear but the group name does below, it most likely will not work but if you scroll down you may find a second one that will. The whole thing is wear but once you get the hang of it you make it work everytime.
SENDING FROM THE ADDRESS BOOK APPLICATION:
If you try to send the email to a group from the application ADRESS BOOK by pressing «ctrl» & right clicking the name of the group and select «Send an email to GROUP-NAME», it will work also. But the group name must not have a space before its name in the Address Book (one could decide to do this to have a group to appear at the top of a list of groups). The latter was my problem and sending from the address book application did not work.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH «UNDISCLOSED RECIPIENTS» SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
First one has to uncheck the «Show members of a group» in Mail/Preferences/Composing
Second strat a new email and proceed as described above in «1.» in the second and third paragraph.
As suggested in one discussion, if you still can not get it to work try closing your Mail and Address Book applications and re-open them.
As suggeted in another discussion by Ernie Stamper on May 15 2009 in the «Can't send an email to a group»:
«In Mail Preferences/Composing, select to Show members of a group, and then compose a message (no need to send for this test) using the group address -- do the 9 addresses show in the message header? If so, then report the name of the provider of the SMTP you are using. It might be that they do not allow the Group in the To -- when working correctly, the recipient sees only Undesignated Recipients in the header.»

Dr.Watson problems solved.

DR.WATSON PROBLEMS SOLVED:
System:
WLS 5.1 with SP11 running on NT4 Using OCI817_8.
Oracle 7.3.4 running on NT4.
Problems:
Dr.Watson exceptions in native code...
# An EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception has been detected in native code outside
the VM.
# Program counter=0x60239689
When asking BEA and Oracle:
"Use the latest OCI available. It is backward compatible !"
What have been done to solve the problem:
Going through all SQL code (and doing some rewriting), configuring connection
pools (TestOnReserve / TestOnRelease, refresh, etc) and several other configurations...
At last, we tried to change to the OCI version matching the Oracla versions we
were connecting to (from OCI817_8 to OCI734_7).
Voila ! NO MORE DR.WATSON EXCEPTIONS !
Our conclusion:
If possible, use the OCI version that matches the Oracle version you are running
on.

Hi Abhijit
Couple of pointers which could resolve the issue:
1. Since you are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge what occurs internally is that your JDBC API through the Virtual Machine make calls into the ODBC API on your Windows system. So the Watson error that you are getting is probably an illegal access by one of the methods in the ODBC API - this is for the Diagnosis part.
2. The Solution part -
a. Should I change my JDBC-ODBC driver? Not necessarily because the problems could be with the ODBC interface implementation and changing the driver might not help.
b. Should I change my programming style? This is one thing which could really help. The problem with creating connections each time is that it takes a lot of resources to do it, So there is a performance degradation. What you could do inyour code is use a Java Bean to create the required Connection. You can also think of using a prepared statement appropriately encapsulate it since you are invoking a particular query repeatedly. In your JSP page you can retrive(create) this bean through the jsp:useBean tag with the session as the scope attribute. The <jsp:setProperty methods could also be used to set the DSN name and the driver.
Once this bean is successfully created you have an open connection.
Now for the part you have pasted - replace the create connections with getting a new Statement object which would hold your Query. At the end of the JSP just close the Statement object.
Once you are done updating the page you may transfer the control to a different JSP - Let that transfer trigger the connection close in the Java bean.
This should solve the Dr.Watson problem.
Good Luck!

Repeating keyboard characters problem

Discussion got archived before I solved it. I have installed a Macally keyboard & solved my problem after 2 successive Apple keyboards demonstrated same issues. This matches with other users solutions to the problem.
Apple - you need to come clean or fix this problem - unless 100+ WPM is too fast for you.

definitely NOT just a bluetooth keyboard issue. I have the USB version of the thin apple keyboard, and I also get the repeated key issue from time to time. sometimes it happens once a day, other times it happens 10+ times an hour.
And it isn't just a single key repeat like ttime or appple, sometime it repeats whole strings like hellohello or startart.
i love the keyboard and so many people that come to my shop always take note about how cool it looks, but this issue is definitely a weird one.
And I don't even type 100+ WPM. I am very slow, and it still seems to do weird repeated key buffering. Very annoying when I am coding in PHP. I would rather the coding mistakes be ones I make, and not the keyboard.

Constant/Random Sleep/Wake issues

I'm on a new 17 inch MacBook Pro and I've been having problems ever since October with waking issues. Most of the features on the MBP work completely fine until I decide to close the lid and let the mac fall asleep.
One of the random issues I receive is the inability to wake from sleep.
I open the lid hoping the mac will start up as it should, but about 70% of the time the screen stays dark while I still hear the fans and machinery within it work.
I usually have to perform a hard restart by holding down the power button to get a fully functional macbook pro again...
The second issue occurs when I am actually ABLE to wake the Macbook Pro from sleep. The mouse turns horribly unsmooth and jumpy and programs seem to work slower than they normally should.
I experience a few other random problems in addition to these wake issues, but these are basically the main ones.
The only solution I have right now is holding down the power button and performing a full restart, risking closing and deleting all previous programs I was working with...
Can somebody show me a solution to this problem?
Would a clean re-install of Leopard help? I've tried it once before but more and more new problems keep showing up...
Anyways, I hope I can get help on this subject
Thanks

Same issue with my 17". The mouse problem is very annoying. If your screen does not turn on after it has fallen asleep, I push the Screen Brightness up Function key and after about a minute or less the screen makes all the sounds like you pushed the buttons or button all at once and resumes normal functionality. If you have the sluggish mouse, I just insert a wired mouse and it moves fine. As soon as I move my finger over the trackpad the sluggishness continues, but only on the trackpad.
I hope Apple has an Update for this issue soon it happens very frequently. As a matter of fact, right before I typed this message.

T60 Type 2623 Blue Screen on Resume from Sleep Mode problem solved - XP Pro

I hope that this post ends some frustrations for some people.
I hope that IBM deals with this issue by getting ATI to fix the video driver issue.
After three months of tracking down blue screens when resuming from Sleep Mode and some lockups while working, I have identified the problem on my T60 Type 2623 running Windows XP-Pro and all service packs and updates. The Sleep Mode resume issues were intermittant and it would be fine for a day or two and then reboot on Resume or reboot every time I used Resume for a while. For months the Blue Screen would reboot and attempt to send the message to Microsoft using the logs, but the logs were always corrupted. I disabled every driver that I could and the problem continued for months.
The problem solution came about when I decided to try my Rhapsody Music account after many months of not using it. I kept getting a message about DRM (Digital Right Management) being disabled and Rhapsody software could not self-fix this. So I finally called Rhapsody and they spent over an hour with me trying to get Rhapsody to work. The support person asked me about my computer and I noted that it was an IBM T60. He then asked about my Video Card and I responded that it was an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. After a few minutes on hold he asked about my driver version which was 8.442.3-080103a1-057754C the set from January 31, 2008. He noted that there is a known problem wit the 8.4 driver and it interferes with DRM. He had me go to control panel Settings and Hardware and then roll-back the driver to the prior version.
After a reboot, the DRM issue was solved and I soon discovered that my resume from Sleep mode no longer crashed. In fact it has been fine and crash free for over a month now. I have noted that the older driver can sometimes resize my screen to something like 600 X 800 if I close the lid under certain circumstances, but that is just a function key reset to get my normal desktop resolution back. At least it is not a blue screen reboot with a corrupted log file.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately I could not fix the problem so I wiped my system and loaded all new drivers before I found this posting.
Is there a way to get the old ATI driver that works? The only one available on the ATI and Lenovo website is the latest one with the problem. I agree with you David, Lenovo should have fixed this problem already with ATI.

WiFi connection problem solved

My intel iMac and MBA had no problem but iPods 3g and 5g did. I had an old Netgear router connected and sitting next to my Airport Express. On a hunch I diconnected the Netgear and created a guest network to replace the one on the Netgear. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Evidently our iPods and boarder's iPhone had problems sorting out the signals and finding the right addresses. Moving the AE to a higher and slightly more central position also helped.

Same here on a Vodafone PocketWiFi 2.
Tried NetworkManager, wicd, wifi-menu but all have the same issue.
I recently installed Aptosid on another machine and it has the same problem... It also has kernel version 3.9.
All the live CDs I've tried work, even an Arch CD from May works, though a current install does not.
I have no problems connecting to another (wpa2 enterprise) network yet can't on this 3G modem.
I'm hoping this isn't a permanent issue and perhaps an update very soon will fix this.
It seems the only way to fix this for now is to use an old version of Linux. I'm currently running a virtual machine only for the purpose of Internet sharing, very annoying.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps
Regards,
Shubhi

Repeating key issue

I just moved to the Mac a couple of months ago. I love it and haven't looked back. However, today, I used my Mac twice. First, this morning, I didn't do anything unusual. I cleared out my trash, browsed a bit on the Internet and answered e-mail. Then I modeled some artwork. I shutdown my machine, shutdown my cable modem & router and went to work. When I came back at lunch nothing was wrong and I hardly did anything (Internet still wasn't on).
However when I came home after work, I started the machine up and the hard drive icon kept popping up and it was difficult to use the menu because I had to hold down the mouse button instead of just click. It turns out that the space key is repeating spontaniously. I thought it might be the keyboard but it doesn't stop when I unplug the keyboard.
Has anyone had this before? How do I cure it? Thanks.

Hi Redspark,
Did you arrive at any solution to your repeating key issue? I've recently joined the discussions forum because I'm having a similar problem - without having typed anything, my backslash spontaneously inserts itself into any text box available and starts repeating itself across the page. In the Finder, I also get various folders spontaneously highlighting themselves, if I pull down a finder menu, it flashes which makes it almost impossible to select anything. As well I get sudden outbursts of the error chime.
Have done an Archive and Install, reset the PMU. I've also zapped the PRAM, checked my RAM slots, checked Permissions, etc.
Let me know if you've got any further insights.
Thanks.

Am I able to find my iTunes serial number? I need it for the problem solving as my problem is solely bad on my iTunes.

For the Apple problem solving section I need a serial number, my issue is that my problem regards missing contents within my iTunes. Do I have an iTunes serial number? And if so, where can I locate it? If there is not a serial number for iTunes, advice on what to do next is much appreciated.

iTunes has no serial number. If you are trying to get to Apple phone support, that is linked to the purchase of Apple hardware, so you need to enter in the serial number of an Apple device. Otherwise, for assistance with problems with iTunes itself you would need to call Apple Support and they would almost certainly charge for the call. I would instead suggest you post the issue you're trying to address here in detail. Someone here can probably offer suggestions.
If your issue is with the iTunes Store, not the iTunes application, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report your issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
