Show time connected

I have been using Airport Extreme for the past 1 year. Recently I noticed that the "time connected" doesnt show correctly. It is freezing to a standstill or suddenly resets the counter to Zero or sometimes, it starts some negative values. I have tried to reset the Airport Extreme and to factory defaults and changed the settings and nothing corrected the issue. I am not able to understand iPv6 connections and sharing. Please help me solve this issue. But, my internet speed seems to be the same and I dont loose connection at any point of time. Thanks in advance to community members.

Hi Ian,
Interesting one…
When you connect via a USB modem the computer is 'doing' the connecting using the modem so the computer has the 'time connected' status available locally. In the case of a router it is connected to the internet irrespective of the computer's status; on, off, sleep, or even, connected to the router. The only way you're going to get the info is from the router itself and, unless it has a setting whereby it will automatically 'inform' the computer of its connected time, I think you're going to have to carry on as you are.
I don't know that particular Netgear but used to have a different one until a thunderstorm fried it. I don't remember it having such a setting. My current Belkin certainly hasn't.
I'm quite interested to know why you want this info. Are you on some kind of PAYG tariff?

Airport Extreme "Show Time Connected" Display

"SHOW TIME CONNECTED" problem
I have a relatively minor problem with my Airport Extreme. I have elected to have the “Show time connected” displayed in my menubar. For the last few months, and certainly since I upgraded to OS 10.7, the time connected display keeps resetting itself, sometimes actually back into negative time, showing as a negative time connected and gradually working its way up to zero. At other times it will seem to work accurately for a day or 2 and then reset itself back to 0.
This does not seem to affect my Airport Extreme function which does not disconnect or dysfunction. It seems that it is only the timer itself that keeps resetting itself. I know this is a minor issue but would be happy for any advice on how to correct it.
Thanks very much.

I ran OS 10.5 for 3 years with my Time Capsule and never saw a negative time. I recently updated to 10.6, but I don't think that that caused the problem, although I didn't check the apparent connected time on another computer.
"...only seems to affect a few users." is not a defense. Apple's job is to write software that always works, not that works mostly. I'm not sure that there would be a flood of reports. I think that most people don't turn this option on. It's an obscure setting (people ask where it is in other forum posts) and of little apparent value. I use it because it's the only reliable indicator that I am actually connected to the internet. I would not have upgraded the firmware on my TC except that the flashing yellow light (that I can't reset) made detecting other problems with the TC impossible.
I should also point out that on a recent trip I connected to a wi-fi router that does not support displaying the connected time. However, my computer continued to display the time that my TC had been connected when last it spoke to my computer. This does appear to be a 10.6 bug, as 10.5 never did this.

Can I Show Time Connected When Using Netgear DG834 Wireless Router ?

When I had an old SpeedTouch USB Modem I could see the time I had been connected to the internet from a readout in the menu along the top of the monitor.
Is there a way of displaying or ascertaining this information using the Netgear DG834 wireless router?
I have discovered that by opening the Router Satus and clicking on "Connected Status" I can get a window displaying this info - but is there a quicker "automatic" way of doing it?

Airport icon in OSX menubar is showing the connected time

how do i disable this?
it didn't show when i was connected using other wifi access points.

thanks... and the solution is
If you click on the menubar icon, and hover over the network you're connected to, a submenu will pop up, one item of which is the "show time connected" option. It's checked, so just pick it again and the time will disappear

Airport Time Connected

In Internet Connect 1.3, when you select your Airport network from the menu bar, you can check 'Show Time Connected' which will display a counter that lets you know the amount of time your wireless connection has been active. I've noticed this feature is missing on later versions of Airport/Internet Connect, or am I just missing something?
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

No, I think the option is missing. I was looking for it myself. I wanted to turn off the time display. Seems I'm stuck with it. Unless the option has been moved to somewhere else ...

No 'time connected clock'

Hi,
A question concerning two different Macs with the same behaviour.
1. I gave the eMac (listed below) to my folks when I moved up to my G5 and did a clean install so that they could start out fresh-I know its probably light on RAM, but they pretty much just use it to email friends and family-not real big users.
After setting them up, I've noticed that there is no 'time connected' counter in the top toolbar( this was present before I re-installed). The only way of knowing that connection is ongoing is that the telephone icon has all the bars or 'droplets' bolded (when they disconnect the droplets are greyed out)
The dropdown menu is ticked to 'show time connected' as is the box in Internet Connect. Opening Internet Connect panel (when conected for any length of time) shows the counter at 00:00:00.
2. I installed 10.1.2 then upgraded to 10.1.5 on a friends Graphite slot loading iMac that was previously running 9.2.2 (256MB RAM with appropriate firmware updates etc). His machine is in exactly the same situation with no time connection clock visible, again 'show time connected' is checked in the dropdown menu and Internet Connect panel.
Both computers were loaded with the original disks that came with the respective machines, permissions were repaired before and after any installations, no third party apps were added. It's not a big drama but just makes me curious-any takers?
Bear with me-I have neither computer at hand to answer any further questions on specs and will be away for a couple of days, but will endevour to get back to any of you that reply.
Cheers,
Jane

Hi ali b,
Unfortunately I had no luck with your suggestion re: deleting the file
com.apple.medemmenuextra.plist.
Incidently, the 'show modem status in menubar' was still checked as it was originally and I didn't need to change that, as such the time clock still sits at 00.00.00 with no movement.
I walked my folks thru' this over the phone, which wasn't tricky-but I guess I'll have to pack a lunch and head over there and have a hands-on tinker if there are any other suggestions?
Cheers,

Menu Bar - Air Port Icon - time connected ?

Howdy Y'all !
There ought to be the option to display the "time connected" next to the Airport icon in the menu bar. I could not find this option in SL so far. Anybody know where to look ?
Tks + Y'all have a nice day !

right, up in the menu bar, when you click on the +airport icon+, you will be given the option to connect (or disconnect) from your ISP. just below the connect/disconnect entry are 2 more entries, of which the first reads +show time connected+
i kicked myself for even posting this, it's so simple (:-)

Airport Status Shows Minutes Connected

My airport status indicator is not only showing bars, it is showing minutes connected. As I am always connected, I find this incredibly annoying. It also takes up valuable menu bar space. If I click off "show airport status" the minutes go away, but so do the bars. I want the bars, but not the minutes. Can anyone help?

I apologize for my short response, especially since you're absolutely right - I could swear there was an option somewhere in Airport Admin Utility that shows time connected, but after posting my hasty response I can't find it either! So who's stupid now?
I realize you have 10.5. I only downloaded Airport Utility after reading your question. Airport Utility basically replaces 10.4.x's Airport Admin Utility I referenced. I haven't Airport Utitliy it yet but I'll post back when I find the equivalent function. It's gotta be there somewhere.

UCCX 10.5 Real Time Report shows "Not Connected"

Hi,
UCCX 10.5 HA over LAN.
As per the title, RTR shows Not connected for both nodes and no data shown for all reports. all services are In service in both nodes.
Any Ideas?
Regards.

Hi Mohamed,
Are you accessing this via the IE or FF? If so which version?
The Real time reporting on UCCX connects to the RMI port 6999 to pull the information on the Engine. If there are no port blockages or if there are no issues with the browsers, then it is a problem with the configuration files in root holding this information which needs in depth analysis.
A restart of the Engine also should help. I know that everything is IN SERVICE, but I have noticed a lot of issues on UCCX 10.5 when there are stuck calls on the system, it impacts RTR with the midnight stats reset.
The reset of the Engine is bound to clear all the stuck calls in the system and this may be a side effect of the stuck calls on the system especially if the RTR was working before you noticed the problems.
Regards,
Arundeep

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted"

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks

Able to access internet yet error message shows not connected?

Lenovo W520 4270CTO
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit.
Each time I connect my laptop to a location other than my (first and original) home office, the network icon in the taskbar shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark through it, meaning "Unidentified network, no access". Yet, I have both wifi and LAN connection as evidenced by me being able to post on this forum.
I have tried to change my location to "home" or "work" to no effect. One of the error messages I get is 'must belong to a home network' in order to change. Well, from what I can understand, a home network is created by and for other Win 7 machines. I am the only one at this location...and I own the network (my new home office location). In another instance where this happened, I had a network engineer at that office location look at the problem and that's where I learned that although the icon shows no connection, it was in fact connected to their wifi.
It is impacting me because I subscribe to MS Office 365. I have had Microsoft support trying to troubleshoot the problem, inadvertently as I was having trouble connecting my Outlook client to get mail. Since that time, my Office 365 subscription needs activation, but it can't hit the MS license server. Also my Skydrive is not synching. It's definitely been determined (by MS) that it's a local network issue. I don't think it is a network because it happens at other locations.
I need to get this fixed because my MS office license has expired and it needs re-activation. I have loaded the latest Lenovo wifi driver, thinking that would help (Intel PrOSet/Wireless Software version 16.1.3). Not sure what else to do here. I am going grayer by the day.

well, first check whether you're connected to the blackberry network...
how can I check whether myself connected to blackberry?
Check within the network bars on the phone whether it is showing you 3G, EDGE or GPRS in capital letters...!!
If not give a hard-reset to the phone (remove the battery put it back once)...
And if it shows in caps letters then try requesting for services again... how? on the phone desktop > within the search bar > type "Host Routing Table".... search results shows you as "options"... select that & select host routing table... afterwards, hit the blackberry menu button > select register...

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Does calendar month view show times

I'm sure I'm not going crazy but I could have sworn that, until late last night, my iPad 2's calendar when in month view showed event times. Similar to what you see when you check the "show times in month view" box when in iCal. I am pretty sure that that function was on my iPad 2 prior to my downloading iTunes 10.3.1 beta because I keep my iPad near the kitchen phone so that we can 'check the calendar.' Now it is not there. The folks at MME support didn't have an iPad to check and they suggested that I go to a local Apple store and see if the ones in the store had this function. I did and they did not.
I spoke with a genius at the Apple Store and he couldn't verify whether that was ever a function of iOS on the iPad. I did tell him that my iPad had been having some strange things happen on the display when I activated the calendar on the iPad. Events would appear, disappear, then reappear sort of in an wave. I am not sure as to the timing of this as to whether it was pre iTunes 10.3.1 beta or after I installed it.
HELP! Was I just seeing things? Or was it there and now gone?
G-N

Thanks for the wild and crazy ideas.
I did remove any events that span midnight and it did not help.
I looked at the DbFixit program. Since it corrects problems in the Palm and not in Palm Desktop I believe it is not relevant. The reason I belive the palm device is not involved is because of the following test:
I removed all previous Palm Desktop versions
I removed all registery entries for both Palm, PalmOne, and the USB (as specified by a chat session with Palm)
I removed all data directories including \Program Files\PalmOne, \Program Files\Palm, and \Palm
I removed all instances of data in the Documents directory
I did a cold boot of the computer
then...
I did a fresh install of Palm Desktop
I typed in a year's worth of data
I did not sync or otherwise connect a palm to the system
I selected month view
The system crashed!
I believe this takes the Palm device completely out of the loop. This problem occurs when typing data in Palm Desktop from the keyboard.
I appreciate any ideas, and will follow up on them.
Thanks again
Jack Cornelius
Since no Palm was involved, the corruption must have occured in the Palm Desktop program itself.
