[SOLVED] 2013.01.04 ISO: succesfully connected with 3G but DNS is down

1) I booted into the new Arch Linux ISO (2013.01.04 x86_64)
2) Succesfully switched my modem with usb_modeswitch
3) Succesfully connected with sakis3g
To my surprise, network is NOT up.
# ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
Yet sakis3g shows that I'm connected:
# sakis3g status
E173 connected to T-Mobile UK (23430).
How do I get the network up and running?
Cheers.

I just checked resolv.conf and the name servers were indeed missing. After adding them, I was still was not able to ping google.com but I tried pinging 8.8.8.8 instead and it worked. Network is up but DNS for some reason isn't.
Edit: if I reconnect with sakis3g, the name servers disappear from resolv.conf.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Office 2013 - Word cannot establish a connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode

Hiya!
This issue has been answered numerous times for Office 2010 and Office 2007, but I have yet to any solutions or Hotfixes that work for Office 2013 (x64) on Win7.
How to replicate the issue:
Open a file from a network share.
Edit file.
Leave computer on with file open. Computer goes to sleep or into stand-by mode.
Wait a bit
Wake up computer
CPU opens file in Read-Only mode and gives you the following error "Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes."
What I've tried:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434898 - Office 2007 registry fixes. Does not apply.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413659 - Office 2010 problem. This exact issue. Says 'No microsoft products that match this hotfix are installed'
Work Around:
I can saving new versions of these files overrides this issue, but this is sometimes not possible for end-users who only have specific access to ONE SPECIFIC FILE in a particular network share.
Please let me know how I can alleviate this issue!
Thanks
-Chris

Hi,
Are those problematic documents created via previous versions of Office?
Please also try to run a repair of your Office 2013 installtion and check if it helps. See:

My iphone fell and now shows USB on screen saying to connect with itunes but when connected i get the message from itunes tha its damaged..please help me somebody

my iphone 4s fell and display went blank,and when i restarted it shows a USB on display asking to connect with itunes,instead i went to a phone repair shop where they service iphones too.First they said that they have to install the IOS4 again in it but they could not do so due to an error so later they asked me whether they should install IOS5 i agreed but it only happened after a long struggle yet the phone remains in the same state with the display showing USB asking to connect with itunes..they could not fix it..please help me..:(

What's there to help? You dropped your phone and now it's broken. You'll have to bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange. If you purchased Apple Care+ is will cost $49.00, if not, it will be $199.00

Changed to secure - can connect with mac but not pc running vista

I changed my wrt54gs from unsecured to secure by changing the wireless > wireless security > to security mode: WPA personal, the wpa algorithms is set to TKIP, i set up a password in the shared key area and the group key is set to 3600. I saved the changes and now i can connect with the password with a macbook pro as well as with a ipod touch but i cant connect with a laptop running windows vista. I would get an error saying unable to connect, funny thing is though i am connect (and it is the correct router, not a neighbors) but it says connected with limited access. I tried to run diagnostics and repair but to no avail. Any thoughts on what to door is limited access ok?
thanks,
Dave

Try this :
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >> Manage Wireless Networks, here remove all the networks present and close the Window...
Click on Connect to a Network and try to re-connect to your Network, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...
It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

No connection with Firewire but will connect and discharge with USB2.0

My 3rd generation 40gb iPod no longer appears on my desktop or iTunes window when connected via firewire. While connected, to 3 different Macs so far, it behaves as if its plugged into the AC adaper- the charging icon appears after a few minutes but will not mount.
However, when connecting with USB 2.0 the iPod mounts fine but it receives NO power, the battery discharges within 5 minutes and shuts off.
I've known about the USB 2.0 problem but never worried about it until, suddenly ( and apparently others are having this problem ) I am no longer able to mount the iPod via firewire.
I've tried resetting in all its various forms including toggeling the hold button and plugging into the AC adapter and I have thoroughly read the trouble shooting pages.
Has Apple "orphaned" firewire? Is the 3rd generation iPod doomed to 5 minute or less connection times? Is this just a glitch that an update will fix?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mirror Doors G4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Its not the cable. I have cables and other Macs all over. I've tried the other Macs and different cables plus different cables and diferent dock connectors.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I already eliminated that possibility.
The firewire problem just started Sep 1, 2006. I'm wondering if the last iPod update that occured the last time I was mounted via firewire initiated the problem. This seems more likely than it might have becuase of other posts complaining of firewire connection problems.
Thanks for responding though!

Can connect with Macs but not PCs - iChat 2.1 OSX 10.3.9

Hi, I am having problems connecting to PCs but can connect to other Macs fine. I have ploughed through as much of the correspondance on here as I can find but with no luck. Would I be right in assuming that if I can connect OK to another Mac (with .mac name or AIM name) my settings should be OK?
Cheers,
Mike

Using a minidisplayport to hdmi adaptor to connect with plasma but get no signal on tv

Help,
I have a problem with connecting my Imac and Phillips LCD TV.
For two years everything was working as a violin and two weeks ago it stopped working : (
Computer and LCD are connected with an HDMI cable (over Mini Display port to DVI adapter with DVI-HDMI adapter on it)
The computer recognizes the TV in System Preferences-Display but there is no picture on TV but
in the corner of the TV a label "Unsupported video format."
When you connect the devices, the iMac's monitor goes blue but the TV does not have a picture.
On the web I found hundreds of people with similar and same problem but without a successful resolution.
What is the strangest thing when I connect a old macbook over the same cable only MiniDV port, everything works!
Stranger still is when I connect the Imac over the same cable and adapter to a LG LED monitor that has HDMI Input, again everything works!
HDMI cable is also correct because I've checked it out with the Blu-ray player on all three HDMI inputs on the TV.
Imac's OS is 10.6.4.
TV model PHILLIPS 42PFL5603D/12
Thanks in advance for any advice and hopefully solutions!

Connected with server, but commands do not seem to arrive..

Hello there,
I'm trying to create a connection with an IMAP server which is secured
through SSL. I can get the connection just fine, and I get a first respone
from the server. But then I send out my login string, and it does not seem
to arrive at the server, because I don't get an answer returned! After some
time, I receive a message from the server saying that I've been idle for too
long, and then the connection gets closed..
But why doesn't my data arrive at the server? (because I believe that 's the
problem here).
I realy hope someone could help me out :)

Are you sending a line terminating \n or \r\n or whatever the protocol requires...?

Can connect with AE but fail on connecting with internet

For some reasons I needed to re-conflict my AE and changed the wireless name. 2 of my Mac computer and my iTouch could connect with no problem. But my PC (XP2) could connect with this AE but failed on internet with error message "limited or not connectivity".
Had to Restore my PC one day back (using the System Restore), reset my AE to previous name. Now everything is ok ... what's the reason behind ???
Thank you

I finally get the answer :-
The XP only works for WEP 128bit with 13 characters password and not 5 characters

I have iPhone 4 with updated latest iOS And i am using FIND IPHONE application. But everytime when ever i login in it and serch for the device its shows the device but never give me the location"NO LOCATION AVAILABLE".It is already connected with WIFI and i tried all the stuffs that has been written in the manual. Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.

SQLPLUS connects with sysdba but prompts for all others.

Greetings,
If I launch sqlplus as sysdba {i.e. sqlplus / as sysdba } It connects immediately.
If I attempt to launch using another user (i.e. sqlplus scott/tiger } I get an error message (ORA-01017 invalid username password)
After that it prompts me for a username and then a password and then it launches sqlplus. Now I'm connected.
How do I change this so that I connect with all other users as "sqlplus username/password" ?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Connecting with / as sysdba works only directly on the server.
If you connect as another user you usually need to add the database instance name or the service name from your tnsnames.ora file to the connect string.
sqlplus username/password@databaseYou can set the database instance on your machine (server or sometimes pc) so that it is added automagically. but this depends on your OS and other environment settings. You might want to check out the administration guide or the general forum for more detailed answers.
