Safari 4.0.3 causes loss of AirPort conection

Opening Safari 4.0.3, particularly from sleep, frequently results in loss of AirPort connection. I then need to manually reconnect. Any recommendations?

Oh my goodness, I have spent HOURS today trying to get Safari to download more than the first page of a PDF. Aughghgh!
Someone please help...none of the above work. Control-clicking doesn't work. Replacing the com.apple.Safari.plist doesn't work. Opening in a new window, "saving as" to the hard drive, etc. doesn't work.
It works just fine on my iMac at work, but I am not at work…
I would prefer NOT to use Acrobat Reader if I can help it, because I understand it is incredibly slow.
Does ANYONE know how to get Safari to download a multipage PDF? I don't care if it opens in Preview automatically or if I have to open it later, I just need to get the darn file!

Exported Final Cut XML from Imovie09 causes loss of Audio Sync

I have recently upgraded to ILife09 and tried a process that always worked in ILife08 but now get Audio Sync problems.
I have created an Imovie project that is 2hours and 50 mins long and wanted to export it to Final Cut Express as XML. This used to work 100% with Imovie08. However, with this latest version of Imovie, when exported to Final Cut Express, the first 45 mins of the XML movie is well out of sync (Audio / Visual).
Has anyone experienced this?

Hi Roberic,
there is a bug in iMovie '09 that causes loss of audio sync when you use custom slow/fast motion. This has been experienced by many users. See for example this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9152271
I don't know if this applies to exports to .xml but it could well be that your problem lies here. There are some workarounds, being the easiest one to only use what the slow motion slider snaps to instead of entering custom speed percentages.

Internet connection loss using Airport Extreme and Netgear DG843

Hello,
I am accessing internet via a Netgear DG834 router (not wifi), connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Most of the time, I can access internet through the Wifi network of the AEB without any problem. But around once a day I am experiencing connection loss and the only way I found to restore it is to reset the Netgear Router by physically unplungging it.
Both the Netgear and the AEB have up to date firmware, so I suspect some kind of problem in my setup, as I am not an expert in setting up networks.
Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected to the AE (which is also a router if I understand correctly) could cause connection problems ?
I am at a loss, and do not even know how to describe the relevant informations of my current setup. If a kind soul could help me nonetheless, I would be very gratefull.
Mr Pedrito
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
correctly) could cause connection problems ?
Yes.
Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

Safari 2.0.1 caused network errors

After updating to the latest version of Safari yesterday, my Mac can no longer access the internet at all - it worked fine up to the point where I downloaded and installed the latest version, but after I restarted no sites load at all from anywhere, and no other internet connections work either (Firefox, Dashboard, Mail etc. etc., none work after the update).
I use an ADSLnation X-Modem plugged into an AEBS, and there's no problem with either of those. The X-Modem diagnostics indicate that the connection to the ISP is working normally as it was before the update, and the AEBS has had no problems either. I haven't got the latest Airport 4.2 update installed on my AEBS, as it caused some problems with my laptop when I had 10.3.9 installed.
However, Network Diagnostics in 10.4.2 claims the ISP cannot be found, despite the ADSL modem diagnostics showing that the connection is working fine. I've tried restarting the X-modem, AEBS and my PB G4, but to no avail. And I would hate having to reinstall Tiger to get it to work again.
I would appreciate any tips or advice!

I had a similar problem the other day after upgrading QT to the Pro version. I tried to let the Network Diagnostics Assistant help me and that caused the real problem - after trying that I couldn't connect to anything. I booted into another partition and everything worked fine, but my main partition wouldn't work even after using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. So I reset all my network settings according to my ISP's instructions and everything worked after that. I can't explain why I had the problem or why resetting everything solved it, but you might want to try setting up a new location and inputting all your network settings into that location.
Good luck.

My mac is causing loss of wireless connectivity on pc's

Okay so i have a new macbook and the airport card appears to be working fine. my friend has a new sony vaio. I can connect to their wireless network just fine, but for some reason, when i connect, even if it turn air port off, the vaio will not connect to the wireless network. It recognizes the network and shows full signal strength, but reports that there is limited connectivity and will not browse the internet. I have tried a lot of things such as restarting the viao, disconnecting and reconnecting to the network, but the only thing that seems to work is to unplug the wireless router and then plug everything back in. Does anyone know of a reason air port would cause this type of interference? Thank you so much!

I cannot confirm that other Wireless routers in my area share this same issue. I haven't tried to update firmware yet, as from the few I had talked to you generally don't want to touch something like that until a last resort.
I use a program called "Netstumbler" to detect other networks around me. As best as I can tell, when my router disappears off the grid, a lot of other routers do as well. I've used Channel 1 on G frequencies because the average number is as follows:
Channels:
1 - 1 person (me)
6 - 4 people (unknown)
11 - 1 person (close neighbour).
As to which neighbours are using wirless routers, Im unsure. About 30 meters away from my router, as mine unfortunately is placed agaisnt the house wall, is a complex that houses about 20-25 families. My computer also shares the same wall, but a floor above (like stated) for connectivity.
As for firmware, I believe I'll have a look into which Im running and hopefully update. I think it might not hurt even looking into an update for my PCI card as well.
Anymore help regarding this issue is appreciated. Thank you

Operating system causes loss of data during writing to file continuously

Within a while loop I read data from serial port (9,5KByte/sec, bluetooth dongle via serial port protocol) and writes them to a file (text-file) continuously. The operating system interrupts the while loop periodically which causes a loss of data. If I read data from serial port without saving them no data get lost.
E.g. on my PC the OS (W2K) wakes up a second hard disk exactly once per hour which freezes the data saving process to the 'saving' hard disk (and therefore also the while loop, data reading) for about 5-6 sec. On a Laptop the OS (XP, one single hard disk) interrupts the data saving process every 10 minutes for about 1 sec. during the first hour and not any longer afterwards.
I have al
so tried to use the 'deny read/write' option of the 'Open File.vi' to prevent other file sweeping applications (backup, anti-virus, Fast Find) to open the file simultaneously which could temporarily deny you write access to the file - no success.
BTW, this concerns also the compiled version of my LV7.1-program.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tobi

Use two loops, one for reading the serial data and a separate one for writng to the file. The first loop reads the serial port and writes the data to a queue. The second one reads the queue and writes to the file. Put a delay in each loop, perhaps zero milliseconds in the serial loop and 10 ms in the file loop (try various values). This causes the LV scheduler to share CPU time between the two loops.
Now the serial loop will acquire the data and store it in the queue which also serves as a buffer. If the file loop gets blocked by the OS, the data just stacks up in the queue.

Sudden and severe loss in AirPort reception

I use my TiBook at my desk (12 feet from wireless router) and on my couch (9 feet from wireless router). AirPort reception has been very strong (always five bars) for more than two years in these locations. I was even getting good, consistent reception throughout my entire condo. I have moved/added no furniture nor any other possible sources of interference.
Suddenly, reception is severely fluctuating and impacting network communications. I am never getting five bars, now. Reception varies wildly and quickly: 15 seconds of four bars, followed by 10 seconds of no network connection, followed by 20 seconds of two bars, etc. This continues even if nothing changes—for example, if I step away from the TiBook and watch the screen from several feet away.
I have tried the following without results: reseating the AirPort card and confirming the antenna is securely attached, pressing against the inside of the battery compartment to reseat one antenna, rebooting the machine (several times), small adjustments to the router antennae, subtle repositioning of the router, reseting the router, setting wireless communications from G to the supposedly more stable B, trying several channels other than the default channel 10. Nothing helps.
I have been reading about connectivity issues, but nothing suggests I should be having AirPort troubles when only 9 feet away from the router! I have run out of ideas. What am I missing?
J.

And another afterthought: I just picked up on rereading your post that you live in a condo. That suggests the possibility that someone in an adjacent or nearby unit may have installed something new in their unit that has caused increased interference for you. You obviously have no control over that — perhaps not even the ability to discover whether it's true. If you can't find any indication that either your router or your Airport card is malfunctioning, you may need to switch to using a wired connection, inconvenient as it may seem.
In my own home (which is several hundred feet from any external interference source), I was stymied for a long time by limited wireless range to distant parts of the house, porch, deck, etc., and I couldn't face having to run ethernet cables all through my existing walls. I solved the problem with two of these ($48 for the pair, shipping included, on Ebay). They work extremely well in my situation, but they might be vulnerable to power line noise in yours; I don't know for sure. Of course if you only use your Powerbook in the same room with your router, using a simple patch cable to connect them wouldn't be much of an inconvenience compared to having your connection dropped unpredictably.

Uninstalling Roxio Sonic caused loss of cd burning capability in Itunes 9

I unfortunately removed all Roxio Sonic software from my Win Xp Sp3
computer
which caused an error 39 loss of cd/dvd in device manager. I applied the
microsoft registry fix involving deleting UpperFilters and LowerFilters
values for a specific regisry key mentioned
here:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314060
All my burning applications work normally such as Nero 9, Imageburn and
Deepburner except Itunes 9. When I open Itunes I get this error:"Warning
The
registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and
DVDs is missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD
burning
software. Please reinstall Itunes"
I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and also tried a repair of the
program to no avail. I also installed the latest Gearsoft drivers with the
same result.
Any suggestions that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I fixed the problem by following a fix I read elsewhere in this forum. I recreated a new UpperFilters multi string value in registry utilizing [inputing] "GEARAspiWDM" carriage return, closed the registry editor After a reboot everything is back to normal again.

Lasso tool problem, using alt key, no click within 5sec causes loss of active window focus

I have been using Photoshop since ver. 4 and have never seen this happen. The only difference is now I'm on Windows 7 64bit. Did not have this problem with XP. Current version CS3 Extended.
Problem: While using Lasso tool with the alt key if I do not make a mouse click in 5 seconds Photoshop's active window loses focus for a split second and then the first point of my selection and the last point will connect. Thus, wasting my time and my attempt at a selection.
I have task bar buttons to "Never combine". I see for that split second what appears to be another program button opening but it is so fast that I cannot see if there is a name on the task bar button. The current Photoshop button moves to the right and back too fast. This all happens very quickly as the window loses focus.
I first thought it was some another program but after many searches found nothing I can identify as the cause.
Right before posting this I had a thought and did a test that concluded in the 5 sec rule. For over a minute I held down the alt key and made a mouse click within the 5 second window of time and there was no loss of window focus. While still holding down the alt key in this same test but not making a mouse click within 5 seconds the window lost focus and the tool stopped with my selection.
I have a wireless Logitech M305 mouse that this morning updated the driver to its current version 5.20.51, Control Center version: 6.20.50.
I have not tested a wired mouse, yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Anyone else seen this? Windows 7 64 bit the culprit?????

UPDATE
After I removed Photoshop from Norton 360's Administrative Settings_Silent Mode Settings_User-Specified Programs, I did not have the problem with the lasso tool that I first had with loss of window focus. I then put Photoshop back in the 360's settings and the lasso tool still worked, BUT...............
After a couple of days of not using Photoshop and turning computer on and off in that time, I tried Photoshop again and the same problem, it came back. Loss of focus after 5 seconds of not clicking mouse. So, once again I open Norton and took Photoshop out of the User-Specified Programs and the problem went away, no loss of focus.
So, I will see if after a couple of days of turning on and off the computer and NOT putting Photoshop in the Norton's User-Specified Programs setting if the problem stays fixed.
I don't have to have Photoshop in the Norton's setting I just thought that it would be a good idea so Norton didn't try to do any background processes or whatever while I was working in Photoshop or I was rendering a filter or something.
Another thought I also have the Full Screen Detection setting ON. I do use Photoshop in Full Screen mode so maybe when having both the Full Screen mode and User-Specified Programs setting selected it makes something go wacky.
Hope this helps anyone having the same problem I "did". Will post back after a few days to let you know if focus problem is gone.
If it does relieve the problem then I will leave Photoshop off the list in Norton. No sense in trying to fix something that really doesn't matter, really.
UPDATE 2
January 8, 2011, I tried the lasso tool again and it still appears to be working. I did my standard test of holding the alt key and clicking to make selections then not click for 5 seconds or more and I did not lose window focus. I do not know why the Norton 360 setting triggers the loss of focus but since I turned that setting off I'm not having any problem.
Will update again if something changes.
Anyone else out there with the same problem that was solved using this method?

Update to 10.4.11 causes loss of application launching

For some weird reason after updating Leopard Server 10 10.4.11 Build 8S169 from 10.4.10 causes the loss of application launching after a few minutes of activity.
All services appear to be running. All clients are able to connect to the server and FM Server 8.0V2 which is also running on this server still seems to be running fine. The configuration is 3.5GB RAM, Dual 500GB SATA using SoftRAID mirroring.
I can connect to the FM Server using FM Server Admin but CANNOT connect with the Server Admin Tools which have also been updated to 10.4.11.
I can't login using slogin either. I CAN connect using ChickenoftheVNC but it doesn't do me any good as I cannot launch anything.
I have reapplied the combo update 10.4.11 to no result as the same thing happens after 10 minutes. Any applications that ARE running continue to behave normally.
The error I am getting is -10810 which is a non-specific unexpected internal error.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Asa

Hi
I remember a few people with this problem after updating - but having searched briefly, I can't find a specific fix.
However - I do suggest you download & apply the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
The combo update does seem to fix a number of different issues that users have had after installing the standard 10.4.6 update.... so it's certainly worth a try.

Creative Cloud causing loss of Window Focus and preventing screensaver from running?

I am running Windows 8.1, and have been very annoyed lately with an intermittent loss of window focus. Any window I am working in would quickly lose focus and then regain it. Frequently I would be entering data into a field, and, while typing, the loss and recapture of focus would cause me to type over/replace everything I had just typed. Also, my screensaver would not run. Screensaver preview would work, but the screensaver never ran on its own.
After a few hours of Internet searching, and by using some Windows tools, I discovered a plethora of system errors related to CoreSync.exe. This executable is part of Adobe Creative Cloud. I uninstalled Creative Cloud, and now the problems have vanished. Are there any known workarounds for this? I do not want Creative Cloud installed if I have to put up with these issues.

Safari won't launch "caused by RegexKit" plug-in

My safari browser won't open.
Error message: "The application Safari quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the RegexKit plug-in."
I've googled it and can't find anything helpful. Lot's on RegexKit but nothing concerning this issue.
I'm on a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.8
Already restarted, reinstalled Safari... none of it worked.
I'm not particularly computer smart. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi
you may find its part of adblock at /Library/InputManagers/Safari AdBlock/Safari AdBlock Loader.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/Safari AdBlock.bundle/Contents/Frameworks/RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/RegexKit
(phew, long list...)
and it woudn't show on a simple search since it's within a 'bundle'
so remove the adblock folder, & try safari again
btw - you're not the first to have this issue - I dunno if there's a later adblock release?

Every time isync resets causes loss of data

I have two computers. 1 running 10.4.11, 1 runnin 10.5.5
I frequently sync the PB with 10.5.5. However when I sinc my PB running 10.4.11 the message appeared that .mac was reset and I am asked to replace the data on my computer or on .mac
The same will occur tonight, when I go home and will try to sync again the PB running 10.5.5.
In the past these resets have caused me a lot of grief and loss of data, as the two computers have different contacts and bookmarks.
Of course this never occurred when both computers were running 10.4.11
How can I sync both computers without these random "resets"
Regards

If you're syncing between Macs via .Mac/MobileMe, then you are using *MobileMe Sync*, not iSync.

Interferences caused by (multiple) AirPort Express

Yep,
having the illusion to hear my music all over the house, I have bought 3 AirPort Express just for running AirTunes. Due to heavy drop outs caused by Interferences, it turned out to be not practicable. By accident I found out, that I do not have any interferences, as long as just one AirPort Express is switched on and connected to my AirPort Etreme. As soon as a second AirPort Express shows up, it does not take long till the AirTune drop outs happen. Its way worth when the third AirPort Express is powered on.
So its pretty obvious that the AirPort "Ex.." stations are disturbing each other.
Does anybody has an idea whether there is any further screw I can turn, any further parameter I can change, in order to improve the situation?
However, I am still hoping as only Apple products are involved ...
Thx for any idea!

Hello Henry!
First let me thank you for your expertise on that. I am really running out of ideas and appreciate any new thoughts. Let me explain some more details ...
- the signal strength is pretty good on every Wireless LAN client location
- I am unsure concerning your thoughts about the transmission rate. iTunes is running on a MacBook which has a 130mbit connection to the AirPort Extreme. Do you really think that streaming causes that much traffic? I hardly can believe that Apple designed AirTunes to just serve one single client ...(?)
- unfortunately wiring is no option. The location just does not allow it with a reasonable effort
- I already tried different channels and could not tell any difference
- All AirPort Express' are just clients to the Extreme. No WDS established.
Any further thoughts?
I already wrote feedback to Apple stating that I really miss AirPort Express (and MacMini) to be 802.11n capable. But the latest month make me believe that the iPhone stuff eats up most of their resources and I guess it will take quite while till those products get an update
Anyhow, thx for any hints on that!
