Someone else with dropping broadband problems

Hi, my broadband connection continually drops. Every time I receive or make a phone call it goes down, then afterwards will reconnect then disconnect several times. Often the line is too noisy to communicate in a telephone call while the hub is switched on, if I turn the hub off the line becomes quiet.
I've tried new filters, the test socket and double filtering the phone and got the same results.
I'm using bt homehub 2.0.
These are the results from the speedtster.bt.com test:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 0.93 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.4 Mbps-1 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 1.01 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.51Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps
Can anyone help?

if the line noise is only there when the hub is connected it would suggest a faulty hub probably the power supply. have you another router you could try? if not any chance to borrow a router not necessarily a hub to see if that stops the line noise when router connected

Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

Yeah no kidding.
I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend. Click click done!
It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.
Apple - please fix this.

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted. Anybody else with this major problem?

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted.
I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
Anybody else with this major problem?

I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
Any ideas for me guys?

Someone else with same problems?

I have a kt4-ultra and i wato to know if someone else have or had my problem...i have i xp 2100+ and i am not able to run it at fsb 133 mhz i must set it to 125 mhz...
I haven't found solution at this problem....(temperature ok...400 w ali ok...ram ok...sk video ok...everything ok)
am i the only one with this problem??
Let me know please

G7LNO,
54C seems a little on the high side to me. It's within AMD specs, but I do not like the word, "Thermal Death".
Below is an example of my system, and the temps that apply to it. My system is not overclocked.
I have a 2400+, KT3 Ultra2-R motherboard, and just recently replaced the Dynatron cooler to a Thermalright SLK-800 with a Vantec Tornado turned down to 4000 RPM. While surfing the web with Norton running, MS messenger, Outlook Express, and four IE windows open, my CPU temps at a room temperature of 78F are: CPU-37 C, System 32 C. Cranking up the voltage to the Tornado and the CPU temp drops to 35C. System temp stays the same at 32 C.
When I use Sisoftware Sandra utilizing the CPU arithmetic and multmedia burn-in for one hour which places 100% load on the CPU, my CPU temp never goes over 39C and system temp rises to 34C; Vantec Tornado is set on high during full load tests.
The Vantec Tornado may be a bit of overkill at full voltage, but at 4000 RPM it is very tolerable. I truly believe the SLK-800 is very capable of excellent cooling with lower and quieter CFM fans. Big D1

My Imac 27' screen is shutting off for no reason. The Imac is still running but the screen is black and stay like that. Is there anyone else with the same problem, and does somebody know what is this?

I had my Imac27' for about 1 year (I bought it january 2011) , and it worked fine. But two days ago a problem started. The screen is turning black suddently, and it stay like that until I reboot it. It's not cool. The first time it happen it was hafter a very long days of video editing, I tought it was to hot. But now I just started up the Imac and 10 minutes later it happen. And now I transfer my desktop on my second screen, because the one of my Imac is constantly shutting of. What is this? Can I do something about that?

I´ve came across with the same problem and when I look out for solutions I found out that basically I had Three options
1.- Dim the brightness to the first 2 dots (that is the limit for me, anything above that shuts down again my screen)
2.- Replace an expensive part of the screen (about $900)
3.- Try with an external monitor to see if the problem was the screen or something else
What I did was to plug my flat screen to my mac with a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter?fnode =51
And… Problem Solved! now Im going to buy a Monitor that gonna cost me less than half of the replacement parts, my main monitor will keep siting down if i dim it above the 2 dots but at least I will have the other to work properly
So that´s that, I hope someone finds this helpful
P.S. Sorry if my english it´s not that good

HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
Mats

I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.

I switched over to FireFox, and connected immediately!

AE used by someone else with 5.0

Still no solution for me...
Uploaded 5.0 and now my AE is "being used by someone else" which is not possible.
worked fine with 4.9
can someone show me a link to revert back to 4.9!!
thanks

I think there is at least one discussion in the iTunes for Windows forum on the topic of uninstalling iTunes 5.0 and where to obtain a copy of 4.9 to reinstall.

I can't get a picture outside on my new ipad. Anyone else with this? problem?

I can't get a picture outside on my new ipad. Anyone else with this problem? What should I do?

You're post is not very clear. Are you asking if other people have difficulty viewing their iPads in bright sunlight? Yes, everyone does. The type of screen the iPad has doesn't work well in bright sunlight. If you're wearing polarized sunglasses and can't see anything on the screen, try rotating it to landscape.
If you're asking something else, please explain.

How can I stop someone from receiving iMessages on their old disconnected iPhone, w'hich is still active in iMessage, when the number now belongs to someone else with a non apple device!?!

To further clarify my dilemma ....
A friend of mine just got a new phone number on her LG cell phone.
When I try to text her, my messages are going to someone else's iPhone.
The iPhone has been deactivated off the VZ cell network, but they are still using it on WIFI.
They used to have this number on their iPhone, and it's still active in iMessage.
So, when I try to send a text message to my friend on her LG, from my iPhone,
they instead go to this total stranger, cuz they still have that number active in their iMessage account.
This is a serious issue!!
The only suggestion I get from apple support is to have my friend get a new number, or for me to turn off iMessage when I want to text her.
Not really the optimum solution.
Something really should be done to prevent this from happening!
Strangers are effectively intercepting text messages!
Help!?!

Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

(Someone else with a) Problem submitting a Book order

I have now tried 5 times to submit the same order. Each time I get the following e-mail back:
"Unfortunately, we were unable to process your order because the files received contained data that was unreadable or otherwise unprintable. Your order has been cancelled and your credit card will not be billed.
This was caused by one of the following:
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best r esults.
Please make the necessary adjustments and resubmit your order for processing."
In terms of Point 1 no files are corrupted (as far as I know) and my connection is excellent.
Point 2 - I have 1.75TB of space!
Point 3 - I do not have pdf files in the book. I do shoot in RAW on a Canon 40D. I wouldn't think this makes any difference since iPhoto just uses the jpg files any way. The total file size I am sending is 37MB - if it were the RAW images being sent it would be more like 440MB.
I have looked elsewhere on this forum and followed the advice given as to "Previewing Book". When I do this, no errors appear in the pdf "Preview Book" creates.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm gutted over the amount of time I spent creating the book and was hoping to provide my wife with a really nice present for Christmas!
Regards

When they mentioned an unreadable PDF file they were referring to the file that iPhoto creates of the book for uploading and printing. Create a PDF by by starting to Print the book locally and select PDF->Save as PDF. This will create the same PDF file that iPhoto creates. See if it will open normally with Preview, etc. It's also a good time to proof the book to make sure there are no typos, all text displays as expected, etc.
Also check to make sure your photos are all RGB mode with the sRGB color profile and no black and white photos with the grayscale color mode.

Sorry, someone else with network problems

I'm at my wits end here, I'm posting this from work so details may be fuzzy, sorry. I have internet through our cable provider, I have the internet coming through a Belkin wireless router. I'm not sure of the model number at the moment, but it is only about 4 months old and when I bought it I did some research and it was deemed to be compatible. Internet has worked intermittently on all our devices (Mac Pro, Macbook (wireless), mini (wireless), Touch(wireless)) since the purchase. The internet has dropped out but if the router is reset it comes back on it's own. For 2 days internet has not worked. I reset modem/router, I plugged in my Mac Pro directly into the modem and it works fine. I can see the router config page if I type in the routers IP on my Mac Pro or any of the wireless devices. If I click on the Network Assistant it tells me that the internet connection is fine and I may have spelled www.apple.com incorrectly. If I plug the modem into the router it shows activity on both the router and the modem. I have changed cables.
I'm not a network guy (that's a big reason why I buy macs) so I don't want to go mucking about too much, last time I did that I ended up wrecking an Airport Express card.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You might try setting your Network DNS numbers. You can find them on your modem's status page. Connect directly to your modem. For me, I open safari, type in the modem's local IP, 192.168.1.1 (that should be the same as your router address). Look for two DNS numbers, for my verizon connection they are 68.238.112.12 & 68.238.96.12. Enter those numbers, one under the other, in the DNS field in the System Preferences/Network/TCP/IP box, for Tiger. Leopard has it's own DNS Tab. You might want to go to Belkin's site and see if there is a Firmware update for your Router. Even if it's new, there might be an update out. Good luck.

Can someone help with a connection problem?

I have a DroidX2 and have noticed that the phone routinely switches from 3G to 1X, especially in certain rooms in the house..
This is consistant and usually the signal is only two bars.
Whenever I try to watch a Youtube video it will play for maybe 12 seconds and then I will have to play with the settings in Youtube to download more of the video. Maybe 1 out of 50 times the video plays straight through without stopping. Most of the time the screen will show 1X instead of 3G. Could it be my phone settings, phone coverage or Youtube causing the problem? I sometimes have dropped calls as well. I have the most current software and Youtube was recently updated. I am also receiving "cannot establish a connection" messages on Youtube. Can someone please help? Thank you.

Lorenzo1950, thanks for posting! Are you still having issues with your connections? What is your zip code? How long has this been an issue? Does this issue with streaming video only happen at home or everywhere?^SP

Can someone help with a networking problem?

Here's a situation I need some help with:
I live in a semi-detached house. My neighbour has broadband, I don't. The phone company (BT) has said it would cost too much to install another line to enable me to have broadband, and would involve digging up the road and the garden, which they're not prepared to do.
However, someone at work has suggested that I approach my neighbour and ask if I could 'share' their broadband connection and in return pay a contribution to their monthly costs.
For this, I believe, I would need to buy a router, plus something to make my Mac 'wireless'.
Now, I consider myself Mac-savvy, but when it coms to wireless stuff I confess I know very little! So if someone could explain in simple terms what I would need to buy and approx costs I be very grateful!
I have a G5, and I believe my neighbour is a PC user.
Also, can someone explain how the whole 'share' thing works? Does my neighbour have to have their computer on all the time? Do I need to sign up with an ISP? Will having two computers accessing one line slow it down significantly?
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy, before going too far down the 'sharing' route I would rattle some cages chez BT. If your neighbour has broadband then you and they are within a hair's breadth (line length speaking) of the same distance to the exchange. If they have enabled BB next door, why can't they enable BB for you without the hassle? I live on a mobile home site in the back of beyond in Devon and when I upgraded from dial-up to BB, and then to 1 meg there was no problem. There was a two week hiatus while BT did their stuff 'on the line' but it all went without a hitch. Er...I take it you do have an exclusive landline?
However, if the situation re the line is as per, then the simplest way (to obviate any wifi interference issues) would be for you or neighbour to route an ethernet cable through walls/window frames from your Mac to a router on their side of the wall. (Approx £30?) This would be connected to their phone line. Their PC would also plug into the router. (Which they may already have if they're on BB, though they may have a nasty USB BB modem &nbsp:&nbsp: No good for what you want.
If you/they don't want the 'hardwire' option then first you have to wifi enable your Mac if it is not already. Not sure of the costs but check on the Apple website for 'Airport Extreme Card'. Don't go the wifi USB dongle route, apparently they are not VG, though I've no personal experience. You would then have to get a wifi router modem (from £40 I think, it's a long time since I've looked, my Belkin has been virtually faultless) which would sit on their side of the wall plugged into the BT socket. Their PC would either plug into that or connect wirelessly with it, as is their wont. That's basically it, but there could still be interference issues, eg, two households with microwaves, cordless phones; intervening walls, bookcases, filing cabinets etc., etc.,
If done via either of the above, then no, your neighbour doesn't have to have their PC on all the time, if ever.
You don't have to sign up with an ISP, it would have to be a 'gentleman's agreement' that you bung him £x pm for your share. He is already paying his ISP.
In practice, sharing would only slow down large downloads.If you were each downloading a large file at the same time then you would be sharing the bandwidth, so your respective files would download at half the speed than they would otherwise. If you are each surfing and if you both 'clicked' at the same time then, yes, he might think, "Wish I hadn't said yes to Andy, this page is taking ages". I don't really think anyone would notice though unless he was surfing at the same time as you were downloading something big, or vice versa.
I hope the above is some help but I would have a word with the neighbour first and sound them out, after rattling BT that is...
Come back here if you want more help.
Good luck!
Adrian
