Stability problems (want to share my experiences)

Hi,
upgraded my systems without any issues during installation. My new MacMini took much longer than my old white MacBook 13".
After working a while, I discovered an issue:
- system hangs and must be rebooted (this was very rare before)
MacMini is more often hanging. I guess it has something to do with network.
From time to time a click on a shared folder remains empty, after reboot all
is good again. Sometime finder doesn't react and I need a long press for reboot.
Does anyone else have the same experience?
cheers,
RaM

The stability of my computers is markedly better since the upgrade. Make sure all the software you are using has been updated so you are using the newest versions available. You should check that your browser plug-ins and various additions are also updated. That's no to say you have found a but that the beta testers hadn't tracked down but it is a good idea. You might also consider creating a new user account and see if the problem(s) disappear. If so, that gives decent evidence that the problem involves something in your account and not the computer as a whole.

I am soooo disappointed with the apple customer service at the local store in Tampa......every time they give u an appointment and make people wait for hours......there was some cosmetic problems with the screen of my Mac book pro....they replaced it but the computer would not turn on....and btw when I went to pick up my computer the representative handover my computer to another guy without checking his id who was there to pick up his phone.......then I had to take it back second time this time they messed up my iWork...I took it back but they couldn't retrieve my history of purchase of iWork...and then when I installed the iWork at home...none of the applications is working.... .I will have to take is back fourth time.....I loved apple products but may be not anymore.......

Other than what Shotist007's remarks (which solves nothing) your experience is not common. First I would speak to the store manager to get things rectified for you. If that doesn't work out then I would contact AppleCare and speak to a customer service representative and complain via that venue.

Positive experience I wanted to share.

No big deal... just wanted to share my recent customer service request that was actually positive. I know most folks only post complaints or dislikes about Fios Customer Service, but I actually had a pretty good experience with a recent upgrade.
So I've had the Home Media DVR service since April. I, just like many others, was very disappointed to learn that it was limited to only working with the QIP2500 SD STBs for streaming recorded shows. I have 5 TVs, 3 of which are HD-capable, so this meant I could only watch HD on one of my TVs and the others were stuck with SD. Well, with the recent IMG 1.6 upgrade, I called up Verizon and asked about upgrading the two other HDTVs from SD STBs to HD STBs. The Customer Service rep was very helpful and processed my order and had two new HD STBs on their way. I received them the other night, set everything up, and activated everything online without having to call them again. The whole process took maybe 20 minutes, but everything worked great afterwards. HD recordings stream just fine from the Home Media DVR to the remote HD STBs, so I'm finally happy! I was even impressed that both Motorola HD STBs included 10-foot HDMI cables (I only needed one as the other uses Component), so now I have an extra. They included a return shipping label for my older 2500 SD STBs that I simply shipped back free of charge. The whole process was very painless and worked as advertised.

Thank you Kathleen. I'm glad Verizon is listening.
I would be very interested in being part of a user group to provide feedback. I would imagine many people here would be interested as well. I would enjoy helping make FiOS TV a better experience for all.
Thank you again.
Not as wishful as you think nascar. I have gotten a hold of someone here at Verizon who may be interested in your offer. Let me know if you would like to be put in contact with him.

Stability problems with PC companion

Hi!
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one having stability problems with my PC after installing PC companion?
I'm getting three or four freezes per day after installing the suite and none after deinstalling.
("freezing": neither CtrlAltDel nor normal pushing of the switch off button work. I have to press the on/off button on the PC for 5s for a hardware switchoff)
We' seem to have traced it to a problem where a driver has the same name as one already installed on windows (apparently some fingerprint stuff). Unfortunately my colleague can't remember precise details anymore as it was some time ago.
Does anyone experience similar problems?
Lots of Greetings!
Volker

so your pc freezes after you open pc companion or without opening it..??
if you want to update yor phone use this instead.

Various 4G / 5G stability problems and now my iPod is USB 1.1 only!

Hi,
I bought a brand new iPod a week or two ago and it worked fine for one sync. Then the battery was running low (because I'd been using it!) so I plugged it in and iTunes synced automatically and the battery charged. after the sync I hit "eject" in iTunes so that the battery would just charge.
I returned to find that the iPod was still mounted! Very strange. I ejected again..... and it seems that what was happening was when the iPod was ejected it simply rebooted and when it came back up was mounted automatically again!
I ejected and unplugged the iPod and it was no longer stable - I would get to the menu and almost to play a song and it would reset. It seemed like my speed was the limiting factor (i.e. the iPod would only stay up for n seconds), rather than it crashing because I tried a particular function.
I saw this unstable behaviour with my old iPod (4G, firewire on this same machine) too where I had to reflash it to get it working again reliably.
So, I reflash the (new) device with the iPod Updater software downloaded for me by Software Update. It resets, and all seems well, with the rather catastrophic exception that now the iPod is only recognised as a USB 1.1 device according to System Profiler! The transfer speed is very very slow.
This is really a bit of a showstopper for my user experience. I have tried:
- Resetting my computer
- Changing the cable (I have two USB2.0 cables and 1 USB2.0/Firewire cable which I have tried all of)
- Changing USB ports (including taking ALL my USB devices away and plugging the iPod directly into the back of the desktop machine)
- Reflashing the iPod again
I have NOT tried:
- re-downloading the iPod Updater from Apple and using that (I'm downloading it now)
So.... the questions are:
- Has the firmware updater somehow made my iPod appear to be a USB1.1 device?
- Or is this a hardware fault and I need to return the iPod to be fixed?
- Is this stability problem a commonly observed one?
- If so what can I do to avoid it?
Thanks in advance,
Neil.

I have Movies on my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. How do I do that without also having them synch to my iPhone. The movies exceed the capacity of the iPhone.

I have Movies on my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. I have no problem getting the movies to show up and play on Apple TV. However, when I synch my iPhone to to my iMac all of the movies try to synch to the iPhone and this exceeds the available capacity (32) of the iPhone. So the question is, how do I make the movies available on Apple TV but not synch to my iPhone?

I looked around some more on my iPhone and did find a video app. So all is well.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Neo2 platinum Encountering Stability Problems /w dual channel memory

Hello,
Recently I built my first computer ever, see bottom. After getting windows installed I then had problems with installing other programs and general stability issues. I tried reinstalling windows and after the reinstall I got the same problems.
Something to do with the instability is when I start it up, and go into BIOS, it states my Athlon 64 3500+ as running at 2211, a half percent overclock. Also, even though I have the FSB set as 200mhz, when I go into CoreCenter on windows it states the FSB as being set 201mhz. In the nVidia system utility, it states my memory as running at 402mhz, and I had to crank that down to 400mhz to get stability, it allowed my to install programs without error, but there were still stability problems like crashes(blue screen, the computer just plain restarting without notice). I took out one of my memory cards, both of them work alone though, I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems, and I want to be able to take advantage of dual channel. I'm running my memory on auto and it's using the times of 2-3-3-6-2T.
Another problem I'm experiencing is the AC97 audio not being detected and loaded by windows, it will say I have no audio device, and the speaker will not show up in the notification area in the bottom right-hand corner. This happens inconsistantly.

hi bknoll,
welcome to the forum.
1) i wouldn't worry overmuch at the 201 issue.
2) Quote
I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems
which test utilities did you use, Don't quiet understand Quote
had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable
3) It may be worth checking the Mushkin site or any documentation you have to verify that the auto settings agree with the quoted settings for the modules. It's not unkown for errors to occur when the memory controller on the CPU to misinterpret the SPD chip setting on your sticks - this is where the auto settings come from. Some memory like certain corsair modules need to run at different settings on AMD64, thus auto timings must be overidden,
4) Have you installed the Realtek drivers from the CD, & enabled onboard sound in Bios. When these are done normally there's the MSI Sound Effect manager in control panel. you just need to set your speaker config in the Windows Sounds & Audio Devices.
5) Usual question What power supply are you using as been underpowered on the 12v rail in particular can be the cause of crashes,

My family has separate icloud accounts, but we want to share an iTunes account. How do we do that?

My family has separate icloud accounts, but we want to share an iTunes account. How do we do that?

This is still not related to iCloud. Suppose your son has his own iTunes library. He connects his iPod to that, and the contents of his library are transferred to his iPod.
Now he connects to your Library; and his iPod is wiped and the contents of your Library transferred to it.
Any workaround is going to involve manual operation or sharing, and is outside my experience. Your best bet would be to start a new thread and ask about sharing different people's libraries, without mentioning iCloud which is a red herring.

2 user accounts on iMac, want to share one iTunes library between the 2

I saw some old discussions on this topic from 2006. But I wanted to ask users of the current versions of iTunes and Lion, how they are acomplishing this. We want to share the same music libray between 2 user accounts. Just think of it as an old school CD case, me or my wife would have access to the same library. How are you guys acomplishing this today?
Thanks,
Mark

You were on track, I ended up having to go to all of the itunes*.it* files, about 5 of them and the itunes directory and set read/right attributes on each file individually. I got the library selected in my wife's profile, then started playing some music, I relabeled the library "Our Library" then logged out of her profile. I logged in, launched iTunes, no problem, it opened up where I had it before, not in the place I was playing music in my wife's profile, but I have it open in both profiles and can play music in both and can access it from the "remote" app on my ipod. All good it appears!!
Funny, I called apple care on this topic earlier today and they said it could not be done. That's sad.
Thanks!
Mark

Please share your experiences moving from Quark to InDesign

My company's design group is pushing to move from Quark to Indesign, starting with one of my projects, which is our largest (400 pages), highest profile document (it is currently in Quark, and the plan is to pour the text and graphics into InDesign). Our schedule is very lean--leaving little room for surprises. None of the compositors in the design group have used InDesign. They are expected to recieve some formal training--but only about 1 week's worth total over a period of several weeks. I am all for making the transition to InDesign, but feel that the wiser path to take is to start on smaller and less high-profile documents that have more time in the schedule for the learning curve. However the design manager is adament that the transition will be problem-free. My experience is that any transition like this has bumps, and most are unexpected, and create havoc and panic. This document has only gone to print on time once (in 10+ years)--with me managing the project and with much sweat and tears. My hope that this year we could go to print on time AND do it with less wear and tear on all who work on it. I just don't think this will happen making this tranisiton now. Can anyone share their experiences when they made the transition?

Everyone else has had really good advice about starting with a 400 page doc, particularly if it's complex. If it's just text with a couple illustrations every 4 or 5 pages, it might be do-able, but if it's a complex document with lots of stuff on every page, it could be tricky.
Try this link for the official converter's guide.
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_quarkmigration.pdf
Some practical tips for the beginning XPress converter that I learned the hard way...
- Cmd-shift-click pulls stuff off the master page.
- The lack of master anchors may limit your ability to accomplish certain master page layouts (with prelinked text boxes) that are easy to do in XPress. Everyone here will tell you to simply use the margins to control your text flow, which may or may not work well for your particular case.
- Always scroll around a document by holding down option+spacebar. This insures that you will get the scroll hand tool every time instead of accidentally inserting a zillion spaces into your text.
-Cmd-shift-A deselects everything in a text box so that you can select another tool. There is no next/prev tool shortcut, but rather keys for each tool. (T is text, A is the white arrow, V is the black arrow)
- You "thread frames" rather than "link text boxes" despite how I wrote this. :)
- Don't set text wrap to effect only the stuff underneath in the prefs because...
- All text should go in a separate layer on top of the graphics layer because...
- InDesign dynamically resolves transparency effects at print time, which means if part of your text is layered under a transparent element it may get rasterized.
- If you need to get text to show even when it's on top of an object with a text wrap, select the text box and check the "Ignore text wrap" option.
- Overprint Preview is your friend. It'll help show you all those things that you didn't notice were going to print strangely before you commit them to print. (Overprinting white type, etc)
- When you're just starting out, so is the Flattener Preview because you will start to get a feel for what is going to be bitmapped and what won't.
- XPress documents imported into InDesign should always be exported as Adobe InDesign Interchange and reimported one more time. .inx is the equivalent of the "thumb-nail drag" trick in XPress to clean up a document that is acting funny.
- XPress documents with placed EPS files may come in with the "Non-printing object" attribute checked on some of the EPS graphics. There's a script floating around that Dave Saunders wrote to fix this. Also, turning Overprint Preview will help you spot this (look for the disappearing objects).
- If you are placing EPS objects, be sure to set your import options to "Render preview from postscript" or your previews won't look right and/or may be deceiving.
- Don't every base your paragraph styles off of "Basic Paragraph Style", because if it ever changes in another document your type will suddenly change when you paste it from one document to another.
- Don't base anything off of "Basic Object Style" for the same reasons.
- Your defaults change whenever your change the options in a palette/panel without anything selected. Curious why every new object you draw comes in with a drop shadow or a 3pt rule, for example? You accidentally set those options with nothing selected.
- InDesign's paragraph composer may drive you (or your proof-readers) wonky because it will change the flow of text paragraph-wide if you redo a line of text. You can either adjust it for decent text flow and leave it alone OR turn it off by basing all your stylesheets on single-line composer. People in here will largely recommend option one, but if it doesn't work for your stuff, don't be afraid to disable it.
- Make sure to upgrade to the latest CS3 update, because CS3 v5.00 had some fairly crashy behavior.
- If CS3 feels really sluggish, try turning off page previews in the Pages palette.
- CS3 and OS X 10.5 are not fully compatible yet.
Best of luck! It's not really that big a change, but everything is slightly different so expect a bit of time to really get your feet under you.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Problem with administrative share

Hello!
We have headache-giving problem with Administrative Share in our company.
Network looks like this:
1) Server VLAN - x.x.10.1
2) User VLAN - x.x.11.1
3) Domain Admins VLAN - x.x.12.1
Now for that situation.
When we trying to access Administrative share (C$) from Admin VLAN to User VLAN, it's all fine
From Admin VLAN to Server VLAN - all fine
From Server VLAN to User VLAN - problem
What we found
Our network guy ensured us, that all three VLAN's are wide open to each other
We can't access share on variety of OS - WIndows XP, Windows 7 32/64
Windows share is turned on using Group Policy
File sharing is allowed in Windows firewall
On server we are logged via RDP with Domain Admin accout, which is in local Administrators group on every station on user VLAN
Share service is running
Any ideas?
MT

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to User VLAN and can you access other administrative share (F$, G$, H$, etc.)? Can you access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to Admin VLAN?
Please also refer to the thread below to see if it is helps:

No one wants my Performance Tuning experience?

I worked as a DBA for 2 years in IT major where my work was confined to Performance Tuning & monitoring
and so I had no opportunity to get the experience of Backup & Recovery,RMAN and other Core DBA responsibilities.
I had to leave in July last year due to my some other career interest. Unfortunately that didn't get
fulfilled.
So from January 15th I have decided to resume my career as a DBA.
I went to a 3 interviews ,but every time my lack of experience in Backup & Recovery and other Core DBA responsibilities is not making my case stronger in the interviews.
I am losing confidence over my chances of getting a job. Most(Almost 95%) of the IT companies want minimum 3 years experience and that too with Backup & Recovery.
I have not yet done OCA (I passed only 1z0 042). So i am planning to give 1z0-007 so that i become OCA.
My questions to all?
1.*How much value OCA hold in the market* along with 2 years experience(In India i am based,more specifically Pune)
2. How should i get the practical experience of Backup & Recovery at home itself?+_
3. I dont have the financial power to go for TRAINING part of the OCP, so how should i make my resume look strong?
4. Doesn't any company want a DBA who hasn't had a experience in Backup & Recovery. Is Performance Tuning & Monitoring experience such a waste?
Cheers,
Kunwar

OK. India has produced a lot of DBA's over the past few years, so I suspect the supply/demand situation is not in your favour, especially with the global economic climate.
And because of career break employers will often have other candidates who look stronger. And they will have certifications.
So you've been looking a month and got 3 interviews .... that's actually not that bad.
My questions to all?
1.*How much value OCA hold in the market* along with 2 years experience(In India i am based,more specifically Pune)In general not a lot. However the only thing stopping you gettig an 10g DBA OCA is an SQL exam pass. Now if you can't pass that exam then you don't deserve the job. And given you've passed 1z0-042 an employer wll ask why who haven't passed the SQL exam (especially if you're into tuing and performance). People in India seem to love 1z0-007 .... I prefer to see people who have taken 1z0-051 or 1z0-047. However I suspect you cannot afford to spend the extra time on 1z0-047 as you need to concentrate on backup/recovery.
2. How should i get the practical experience of Backup & Recovery at home itself?+_Hopefully you've got kit to practice on.
3. I dont have the financial power to go for TRAINING part of the OCP, so how should i make my resume look strong?Resume's are not my best area. However in your case studying and passing 1z0-043 will help. 1z0-043 is 50% backup and recovery so that has synergy with your weak area. If finance is an issue consider a WDP course if you can get one. Some eligible courses are cheaper than others, but even they may be beyond reach,
4. Doesn't any company want a DBA who hasn't had a experience in Backup & Recovery. Is Performance Tuning & Monitoring experience such a waste?
Obviously performance tuning and monitoring is not a waste ..... but remember Oracle is increasingly attemting to automate these in later vesions, and different techniques are available in 11gR2 compared to 9i.
Cheers,
KunwarYou might find: RMAN Recipes for Oracle Database 11g : A Problem-Solution Approach ... ISBN13: 978-1-59059-851-1 ... a little useful.
