SPA 5xx and 9xx phones registering to all proxies with DNS SRV records

A weird situation -- I use DNS SRV records to prioritize the two Asterisk servers to register to (east coast vs west coast). However it seems that phones are often registering to BOTH servers and show as live on both at the same time. There seems to be little rhyme or reason as to when it occurs, but it's weird. Fortunately the phone does seem to be preferring the higher priority SRV record but I can't figure out why it is registering to both.
This happens with SPA-942s (6.1.5a) and SPA504Gs (7.4.9c).
Any ideas what makes this happen? On the surface it seems like a good thing, but functionally the phones are registering the same port numbers and only the priority server can get through firewalls with traffic for the phones. This screws up my "presence" indicators within the system.
DNS SRV RECORDS:
_sip._udp.west.server.net (for west coast customers)
Priority 10: west coast machine
Priority 20: east coast machine
_sip._udp.east.server.net (for east coast customers)
Priority 10: east coast machine
Priority 20: west coast machine

We determined this was not actually happening. There was a syncing taking place in the background that was giving the impression this was happening but it really was not.

You can download the latest iTunes (version 11) here:

If you did not configure FindmyIPod on it, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Report the theft to the local authorities and change the passwords to any and all accounts you have may used/accessed or configured on the iPod Touch.

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

SPA 5xx and 3xx user downloadable Ringtone with provisioning

Is there a way to download the 2 User Definable Ringtones on the SPA 50x and 303 family by provisioning?
I know, there is a way to townload by Browser and a corresponding URL. But i am searching a way to do this by provisioning.

You can discover it by yourself. Download a ring by browser, then look at actual phone's XML configuration (http://ip-phone-address/admin/spacfg.xml). If you will found the URL of downloaded ring tones here, then you discovered the appropriate tag at the same time. If no URL here, then it seems not to be possible to do via provisioning.

My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

Satellite L450D-13x - wireless connection lost and won't register at all

I have a Satellite L450D-13X ,I have been able to use the wireless connection until today when it stopped working. No matter what I do it says the wireless device is disabled.
I have tried updating and diagnostics but they all come back fine.
Can anybody help?

Try to rollback OS to earlier time using system restore tool. Maybe some Microsoft update has screwed up WLAN functionality. Very often WLAN driver is listed as option for update.
Try this as first step.
Try also to restart your router.

My iphone 4s froze and then deleted all of my text/imessages. They all disappeared and my phone is not backed up with icloud. is there any way to get those messages back?

any ideas??

If you have an iTunes backup, you could restore that. Otherwise, I think you may have lost the messages.

HT4993 i have bought iphone 5 with no cotract,and activate it with Sprint sim card,I am outside US now , and the phone can't be activate with non sprint sim card. i dont have sprint acount because i bought it from private store,what can i do ?

Hello,
I have bought Iphone 5 with no contract (649$ + Tax) and i've activated it with nano sim of sprint (without having sprint account)
i am outside US now , and i was discover that the phone can't be used because the activation with other sim is failed.
Sprint says that can't do anything if i dont have sprint account (no sure why they cant locate it VIA SN\IMEI).
what should i do in order to unlock it ?
Thanks

You bought a Sprint phone. Sprint phones are NOT unlocked. Sprint will only unlock the SIM slot for current Sprint customers in good standing for use while travelling internationally.
You bought the wrong phone. Since you're not a Sprint customer, you can not get it unlocked. Sell it to someone in the US and buy a phone you can use.

How do I get my I pad and I phone to be totally synced with games and I messages? Email is synced

Do I need to make changes to settings in order to have I pad receive my iMessages that are on my phone? And games too. E mail works okay on both and if I make changes on one it changes both. Thanks

On both devices:
go to settings > iCloud
make sure both devices are signed into the same account or sign in with your applied if not signed in yet
turn any switches on for things you want to sync such as contacts calendars reminders and notes
for other information ask another more detailed question

I have a new windows PC and when I registered my account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes was in my Library all the music that added to the library is missingÉ

I have a new PC running windows 8 and when I registered my new account with I Tunes only the recent music that I purchased off I Tunes populated in my music library. The other material that I imported into my library from CD is missing. I am missing several hundred recordings and want to know if it is possible to get them back without having to go back to my old PC and manually make out a missing catalogue of music and re-importing back into my new PCÉ

Your media is only where you put it.
Installing iTunes and signing into your iTunes account does not cause media to magically appear.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
FYI, there is nothing to import and if you are smart and want to avoid duplicates you will NOT import anything.

DNS SRV Proxy Lookup and Failover Mechanism / Unexpected Behavior

Group,
I came across some unexpected behavior yesterday I was wondering if someone could help shed some light on the problem. In my DNS I created this record: _sip._upd.platautofinance.com which when I do a query using MX Toolbox it is correctly reporting the following:
On the SPA504 I have programmed the SRV records into the system using the following:
So here is the issue, the phones will register correctly to the primary server but after a length of time ALL the phones will abandon ship and jump to the secondary server and stay there. I have to manually shut the secondary down, reboot the endpoints at which point they will re-register with the primary. So I think I need to understand the mechanism a bit better. Here is what I can think of:
The phones are not using the primary DNS service record providers DNS servers, we are using OpenDNS instead of Network Solutions <-- Unlikely because the SPA would not be able to resolve the SIP SRV records / servers at all with a broken DNS resolution. I can tell by dropping from the primary to the secondary that resolution is taking place on the phone because they are jumping between the right ones.
My understanding is the proxy fallback interval should have the phone register (and they should be checking periodically if the primary is available again and if so, re-register the to the lowest-weighted server) but that's not happening without a manual reboot. Once on the secondary they want to stay there.
My firewall for both the primary and secondary servers do not answer ICMP.
So the question is: why do the SPA phones think the primary is offline? What is the mechanism or criteria the SPA uses to determine a server is offline and then rolling to the secondary? Why do they want to stick around the secondary which is using only a best effort connection when we have a bonded T on the primary?
Thanks as always for your help and input group! Appreciate your time.

Hello Adam,
I believe it will be easier if you call SBSC and ask the questions directly. The questions are very good and exact. I will try to answer shortly. Assuming you use only CCA to configure the system.
1. If you have set dns for your internet connection it should work, you may try with different dns servers. Please delete the SIP trunk and recreate it.
2. Please delete the SIP trunk and recreate it.
3. If you need to configure more codecs through CCA you may send feature request using envelope button of the CCA.
I hope the above answers will be helpful although very short. If they are not helpful please contact SBSC and open a case.
Best regards,
Alex

CUCM IM and P Design - DNS SRV -

Hey guys.
I would like to design a CUCM IM and P infrastructure for my customer. High availability is mandatory for my customer and here is what I found from the documentation:
Configure SIP Trunk for IM and Presence Service
If high availability is configured for the IM and Presence cluster, multiple entries should be entered in the Dotted IP Address or FQDN to identify the various nodes in the cluster. DNS SRV cannot be used for an IM and Presence cluster if high availability is configured.
So SRV record can't be used for an IM and P cluster.
Now if I want to configure a presence gateway on the CUCM IM and P, the configuration guide says that we must configure a CUCM as a presence gateway to enable SIP connection:
The problem is that I cannot configure 2 or more CUCM Presence gateways ... and for that I have to use a DNS SRV.
But I can't use an DNS SRV because I am using high availability ... This is a chicken and egg problem to me :)
Does someone has a recommendation please ?
Thanks guys :)

Actually, the config guide allows DNS SRV on the Presence Gateway config of the IM&P servers:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/im_presence/configAdminGuide/10_5_1/CUP0_BK_CE43108E_00_config-admin-guide-imp-105/CUP0_BK_CE43108E_00_config-admin-guide-imp-105_chapter_0111.html#d54883e741a1635
It appears they are only disallowing SRV in the CCM to IM&P SIP Proxy, not the other way around.

Hi. My ex girlfriend used her apple id and icloud to register my iphone. and now i want to sell my phone to someone but i cant reset all the contents and password because i dont know her password. we dont have anymore communication right now. please help

No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Unless you can get that info, you won't be able to restore the phone, to sell it, or re-activate it.
You need to somehow get back in touch with your girlfriend & obtain this info, or all you'll own is a paperweight.
