Skype is never going to offline mode

Hey,
I have the problem that I'm never offline in Skype... people keep calling me and I can't answer because there is no device I know of that is online in Skype ie. all my computers and mobile phones are switched off.
I can't find any way to find the computer where a skype program is logged in. A contact of mine already said that "he noticed that I'm offline so he knew his internetconnection was broken!"
Is there a way to log of any apllication that is logged in? Or something that allows me to get all the ip adresses that are currently logged in?
thanks

Try the /showplaces and /remotelogout chat commands.

Firefox goes into offline mode for no reason

Periodically, with no consistency I can detect, Firefox puts itself into offline mode. After clicking the "try again" button from one to several times, it finally recognizes that there is in fact an Internet, and deigns to connect with it. I have never manually put Firefox into offline mode.

You can try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
You can right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status<br />

How can I prevent Firefox from starting in Offline Mode when there is no internet connection?

Hey!
When I fire up my laptop from standby it takes some time before the wireless internet connection is established. If i am too quick and open Firefox before that happens, it automatically goes into Offline Mode, which I hate a lot.
Is there any way to disable this behaviour?
I have already tried everything mentioned here: [http://superuser.com/questions/208146/can-firefoxs-offline-mode-be-disabled http://superuser.com/questions/208146/can-firefoxs-offline-mode-be-disabled]
Also I found this addon, which unfortunately does not work with Firefox 11: [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/disable-automatic-offline-mana/ https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/disable-automatic-offline-mana/]

That shouldn't happen in Firefox 4 or later. You should just get a page not found or server not found message.
Can you check the following setting?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''offline''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for '''network.manage-offline-status''' and reset it to False (either double-click or right-click/reset).
Does that work?

Nokia N8 locks when selecting offline mode

Any other N8 users experiencing similar functionality/problems?
I'm fairly certain that when I first got my phone, when selecting the Offline mode - which I do at night to save power - it just went into and out of it no problems.
I have since set up the remote locking feature and was asked to change my lock code from the default 12345 for obvious reasons. However now when I enter the Offline mode the phone auto-locks. Not a major issue as I just unlock it with my code, just more of an annoyance really.
I have made sure the setting to lock the phone when sim removed is off, to no avail. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same here, and can confirm it does this when remote locking is enabled.
I would imagine it does this as going into offline mode is the same as taking the SIM out
and the phone thinks the SIM is being changed, so it is a security precautionI beleive.
Cheers.

Firefox sleeps and wakes up in offline mode.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything different that I've done that has led to this problem. Same sites, same habits.
At any rate, I always leave FF running. I'm using Windows Vista, and all I do is close the lid on my laptop, it shuts everything down into Sleep Mode. I come back to it, *boom* everything comes back to life.
Recently however, after closing and reopening the lid, FF tells me that it has gone into Offline Mode. I haven't found anything in the Tools/Options to fix the problem, so I have to close and restart. Granted, this isn't a major problem, but it's an annoyance.
Any ideas of what has happened and how to fix it from going to Offline Mode?
Thanks much.

Microstrategy Mobile App crashing on iOS 8.1.2 and above in offline mode

Hi,
Running iOS 8.2 on iPad Air, 2nd Gen
One of the functionalities of our Microstrategy mobile reports is to enable offline access for its users. As such, the whole data is pre-cached into the device when connected, and this cache is used to power the dashboards when there is no network access.
Until iOS 8, this functionality was working fine. Since the iOS 81.2 update, as soon as the user goes in offline mode and tries to navigate through the dashboards, the Microstrategy app crashes. We are using different models of iPad notably the iPad air.
I tried using a 3rd party tool to monitor the free RAM and observed that RAM falls below 20MB during such navigation on the dashboard in offline mode.
It would be really helpful if someone can suggest a solution.
Thanks.

Hi Rachit,
Please contact Microstrategy Support team. They could be solve the issue.

I tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore

i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone

by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera. iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode. Help!

I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected. At least that happens with my camera. Good luck.

I try going to any website and it says Firefox is in offline mode, uncheck offline mode but offline mode is not checked.

I click on open new tab. When the window opens I type in the address of any web site and hit enter. Firefox says that it is in offline mode please uncheck working in offline mode in the file menu, however working in offline mode is not checked. I click try again but I get the same results. I check other web sites with the same result. I checked to make sure I am online and I am becasue I am sending this message in Internet Explorer. I am using Windows 7 premium home edition. What gives?

Did you try to toggle the File > Work Offline setting a few times?
You can try this:
Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.

Mac Tower Pro 10.8.5 keeps going into sleep mode

Purchased from Apple, refurbished 2012 Mac Tower Pro. At the same time, purchased a new Dell U2713HM, 27" monitor.
Have been operating on this new system since about the first week of December 2013.
Issue:
The computer has constantly gone into sleep mode after a few minutes of no activity. I can have iTunes radio playing, but the system still goes into sleep mode. As I am typing and moving the curser, the machine stays awake.
This has caused much frustration because when it goes into auto sleep mode, it quits all programs that I am in, and when it does this, I lose all the work I had accomplished. It litterally closes everything and goes to sleep in about 2-3 minutes of no activity.
BTW: the computer and monitor have all its new OEM cables that came in the box, when I purchased the units.
Solutions attempted:
System Preferences — Energy Saver: computer sleep and display sleep set to "never" and unclicked the box "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Dell settings: Turned off all energy savers.
Results:
Nothing. Problem persists.

I apologize for the angst. The problem has cost too much money in lost time and material because when it would automatically shut down after a few minutes, all my work was lost.
I misunderstood the terms of the warranty. Thank you for your input and patience. Much appreciated. For the benefit of others that experience this with a new Mac that auto shuts down. Check the following:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Security and Privacy.
3. Click on Advanced (bottom right corner)
4. If the first line is checked (Log out after 5 minutes of inactivity); uncheck it and then click OK button.
5. Be sure to click the lock before existing Security and Privacy.
Now the machine will cease shutting down programs to go into sleep mode as soon as machine is inactive for a few minutes.

My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly

Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
Here are the steps I took:
1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
(Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have a problem I can not up grade to the new AOL due to having a MAC 10.4. Now when I go on the site opens but when I finish one thing it tells me error message Offline Mode. What can i do it just shuts the internet down.

When I open Firefox , and go to AOL.com it goes to the home page with a message to up grade. I have tried that it tells me I can not do it on my operating system MAC 10.4. Now when I sign on to Aol to use my favorites some time it lets me on, but if i write something e-mail or such it sends it them tells me error message Offline mode check off in file which I do, but it shuts down the internet. I cannot get back on.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 WONT PRINT AFTER GOING TO SLEEP MODE

My printer model:
HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 B111A
Problem:
Printer goes to sleep mode. After 25-30 minutes the wireless connection between the PC and the printer breaks. Blue Wireless light is on even at the sleep mode and I can see that the printer is connected to my router and there is internet connection. HP Print and Scan Doctor sees the printer but I cannot awake the printer unless I restart it.
What I have tried so far:
I have tried all the solutions hp.com offered including; reinstalling driver, updating printer software, setting static IP to printer, setting static DNS servers, using HP Print and Scan Doctor.
I have seen people asked about this question before and there was no solution. I really need HP help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let’s try this. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. Always use WPA2-AES encryption. Power off both. Power on router wait 3 mins. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. Now try.

IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated! I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes. Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button. Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on! I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on. It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up. But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode. My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery. I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job. PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it. I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
Please please help!
Jennifer.

If you actually see a "6" error code, here's what it means. Disable your anti-virus and/or firewall.
Errors related to third-party security software
Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.

Java Web Start(the program itself) doesn't start in offline mode

Hi,
My Java Web Start doesn't start when my internet connection is not on??? I have a program that needs also offline access so it's crucial to get JWS work without internet connection as well.
The problem might be in those sun's example programs you can't remove? Maybe the program crashes when trying to get some information for those programs?
(please read the question well. My problem IS NOT in the .jnlp-files <offline-allowed/>)
And by the way those sun's demo programs that are supposed to start in offline mode(Internet connection not required) don't start even if you have started them once with the connection on.....
-orainio

I have the SAME problem -
BUT....
it NEVER works for me (online & offline)
this stupid logon pops up and after a while disappears and nothing happens!
got no fire wall, proxy etc...
(win XP)
plz helppppppppp
