[SOLVED] cpufreq only works sometimes?
Just installed Arch on a new laptop, that already ran Debian Linux, where cpufreq worked. However in Arch it is stuck on the lowest frequency (1.2 GHz), and cant scale up. This is the case most of the time when I boot the computer, but I do know that a few times it has worked, without me doing anything in particular.
My rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand)
USEDMRAID="no"
USEBTRFS="no"
USELVM="no"
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !netfs !network @crond dbus @wicd !avahi-daemon @alsa @sshd @acpid @cpufreq)
And the output of cpufreq-info (note that "current policy" is stuck between 1.2 and 1.2 GHz)
cpufreq-info 0
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
EDIT (solved!): Problem was the power supply unit (65W) to my Lenovo laptop wasn't giving the juice I needed. Cpufreq works with 90 W PSU.
EDIT (old): As I note below, this problem is also happening in Debian. I guess it was just a fluke that it was working right when I checked in Debian 6.0. So this is not an Arch specific thing, I guess.

Thanks for filing a bug report.
I've tried poking around in the BIOS but as far as I can tell, all CPU functions are enabled.
Also, I haven't seen cpufreq work for quite some time now. It's always stuck. I uninstalled it and installed cpupower instead but same thing there.
On Arch I have everything up to date, i.e. kernel 3.2-13-1, and cpufrequtils 008-2-x86_64
On Debian (same computer) I have kernel 2.35-5 cpufrequtils 007-1
I'm posting my hardware info below, in case it can help the bugreport.

My Ringer only works sometimes with I message only
My Ringer only works sometimes when using I message. The ringer works for all phone calls and emails. I have tried everything, I even had the unit switched by my carrier and it's happening with the latest unit as well. I did not do the I tunes back and restore. I did a manual set up thinking the problem might carry over from the previous unit. Help!
Had this happen today and 2X past as you discribed. A reboot (turn phone off and on) restored all sounds for me. The first time I can't associate w/ a cause but the second and third were just after listening to a podcast using the apple podcast app - the only app available for that.

IPhoto 08 only works SOMETIMES with iPhone....
iPhoto 08 only works SOMETIMES with iPhone. I have been able to upload my photos from my iPhone SOMETIMES... Other times iPhoto doesn't recognize that the iPhone is plugged in. The IMPORT photos just NEVER showes up. How can I get it to CONSISTANTLY recognize my iPhone... what is wrong? Never had this problem with 06.
ok, here's what i did to get iphoto to recognize my iphone.
change the "connecting camera opens:" dialogue box to "image capture" (in the iphoto preferences "general" tab @ the bottom of the window)
close the preferences & quit iphoto.
quit itunes
open iphoto & change the "connecting camera opens:" dialogue box back to "iphoto"
close the preferences & quit iphoto
plug in iphone.
both itunes & iphoto will launch simultaneously.
best of luck!

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

Why does the keyboard shortcut on the bookmarks ctrl end and ctrl home to go up and down the bookmarks only work "sometimes"
Is the problem on the Bookmarks menu, on the Bookmarks drop-down list (from one of your toolbars), in the Bookmarks sidebar, or in the Library dialog used to organize bookmarks?
Do Home and End (without the Ctrl key) work any better/differently? -
Audio only works sometimes on videos and the volume buttons on the side only work sometimes,very aggrivating, please help!!
Hello Tetnus,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
Best of luck,

Why does talking to Siri only work periodically???? Sometimes it does fine and other times it just keeps running and nothing happens! When I am tring to talk to text in messeges it does the same thing. Sometimes fine, other times the blue circles forever and then...nothing ! Does this happen to others??? Does anyone have a solution to this???
The trascription doesn't take place on your phone. The audio file is processed a little on the phone and then sent to Apple's servers for the bulk of the work, and the resulting text is sent back to your phone.
Sometimes there might be problems connecting to the internet to send the file. Sometimes there might be problems with Apple's servers in a specific region. In my case if I go outside my house a bit my phone will still be trying to connect to the wifi (there is just a little bit of a signal). There isn't enough wifi to handle sending the audio files to Apple, but enough that the phone keeps trying to use it.
Things that sometimes help. Turn off wifi if it is weak. Put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn the radio back on.
If the problem is at Apple's end. Just wait a while. -
On button only works sometimes
The "On" button of my iMac had developed an issue where it is only responding sometimes. It doesn't matter whether it's plugged in to the APC surge unit or a regular outlet. What is typically occurring is it won't turn on when pressing the button unless I unplug and replug the cord. Then it usually turns on on the first press of the button or sometimes the second press of the button. It seems to be getting worse. I'll ask for feedback here before reporting the issue to my reseller (it's under warranty).
True except that just pulling the plug is not proper way to reset the SMC.
+1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).+
+2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.+
+3. Wait at least 15 seconds.+
+4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.+
+5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.+
So step #2 _"Unplug *all cables* from the computer"_ was thrown in just to inconvenience us? -
URL Checker - only working sometimes?
Hi,
I've built a URL checker (to see if a URL exists or not) code below:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class respCode
public static void main ( String[] args )
throws IOException
try
URL url = new URL( args[0] );
URLConnection c = url.openConnection();
for (int i=0; ; i++)
String name = c.getHeaderFieldKey(i);
String value = c.getHeaderField(i);
if (name == null && value == null) // end of headers
break;
if (name == null) // first line of headers
System.out.println("Server HTTP version, Response code:");
System.out.println(value);
System.out.print("\n");
if(value.equals("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"))
System.out.println("OK");
else
System.out.println("Not OK");
catch (Exception e)
}But it's only working for some addresses and not others. For example, if I use a page that actually exists (e.g. www.facebook.com) I get an OK which is correct then a sub-page of this site which doesn't exist (e.g. www.facebook.com/sgboegoeb) I get a 'Not OK' which is also correct.
BUT if I use a URL which doesn't exist at all (e.g. www.lgnwpo.com) I get back a 200 response code and an OK. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Am I getting redirected to a genuine page or something?
V grateful for any help given! :-)As a general rule, when I see this:
catch (Exception e)
} My reply is:
Fix your empty catch block with an e.printStackTrace() or a System.out.println(e.toString()) and then ask. When you do something like you have done and purposefully put an empty catch block in there, you are saying: "I don't want to know..." Now you want to know: fix it. -

My WiFi is down and the icon states ´´No Hardware Installed´´. Sometimes the WiFi will come back, but it will shut me out after an hour or two. I´ve tried shutting it down and pressing P, R, Option, Command while turning it on, but it only sometimes works and is a temporary fix. I´m studying abroad and there aren´t apple stores near me. I went in to one before I left, and thought the tech employee had fixed it, but I started to have the same problem here. How can I fix this?
This worked and solved the problem.
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

[SOLVED] Trackpad only working as root
I just installed arch on my late 2011 macbook pro. Almost everything worked fine out of the box but I have an issue with the trackpad, it does not work at all if I startx as a regular user. If I start X as root it seems to work fine.
The only unusual message I see in X's error log is the following:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
Please be patient with me as I don't have a mouse to edit the post properly or paste the full error log.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Last edited by denn1s (2015-03-08 02:30:49)It looks like spoke too soon. The problem was related to the permissions for /dev/input/event11 it only has group permissions for group input. What was needed was to add my user to the "input" group.

Constrain proportions only working sometimes?
When holding Shift to constrain proportions and resizing using the scale tool, it only sometimes constrains proportions correctly. The other times the smart guides say it's constraining uniformly but it doesn't (the info display shows the width at 100% and the height changing though). This seems to happen when I click to the bottom right of the object, but not lower than the furthest bottom point of the object. Is this another "feature"? How do I turn it off if it is a "feature"?
Further clarification:
Normally when holding down shift and resizing with the scale tool it switches between resizing only the one axis (a smart guide line on the 90 degree axis) and resizing both axis' uniformly (a smart guide line on the 45 degree axis) depending on where my mouse is. When this problem manifests it only switches between resizing only the one axis (smart guide showing 90 degree axis) and some weird in-between state where the smart guide shows a +-30 degree axis line and states that it is a uniform resize and the info display shows only one axis resizing, yet BOTH are resizing, in a weird distorted proportion. It DOESN'T switch to a true uniform resize no matter where i move my mouse, and I have to release the resize, undo and do it again. I'm still not able to emulate this reliably so i can file a bug report....
I hope this isn't even MORE confusing...
