Starting adsl connection busy then fail
when trying what they wrote in the wiki guide about starting adsl i get this error.
how can I correct this so I will have adsl connection?
any suggestion appreciated
thanks
Usually this occurs on failed connection attempts.
Either your connection setup is in error. Or there are too short timeouts.
My adsl sometimes (seldom) needs a minute to get a stable connection.
There should be "pppd" messages in /var/log/everything.log.

Systemd: some services starting too early and then failing
Hello everyone,
I freshly installed Arch on this new laptop (Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD) and from the start, I wanted to have a pure systemd setup. I'm using services only and I've uninstalled initscripts and so far it's working relatively well.
However, some services seem to start too early by default and the workarounds are unsatisfactory.
Problem 1: asus-screen-brightness and asus-kbd-backlight
On this lap top, the stock screen brightness buttons do not work (yet). A script and a service file (which are both available via the asus-screen-brightness AUR package) have to be used to allow users to change the brightness via the script. The problem is, with that service enabled, it only succeeds sometimes. About have of the time booting the laptop it fails, most likely because the necessary nodes in /sys/ do not exist yet. Restarting the service manually after booting does the trick:
[root@tachychineta shapeshifter]# sc status asus-screen-brightness

Exactly the same problem occurs with asus-kbd-backlight.service which is needed to allow users to control the keyboard backlight. It also fails because of missing /sys/ entries if started too early.
Problem 2: automatic login & X11
I use the method described on the wiki to autologin into TTY1 with my user and my .bash_profile contains
[[ $(fgconsole) = 1 ]] && startx
and my .xserverrc is configured as explained in this fantastically useful article by falconindy.
This way, X starts automatically and my session is properly authenticated for things like udiskie. I'm not using [testing] but instead rebuilt polkit with --enable-systemd and it's working just fine. The problem is, just like in problem 1, Xorg fails to start every now and then, failing with
(EE) No devices detected.
I don't have a full log because it hasn't happened in a while, but I'm very certain it's because the chipset isn't ready, yet.
Solutions?
I added "i915" to /etc/modules-load.d/static.conf hoping that would cover both the Xorg and backlight problems but it doesn't help. I then tried adding i915 to my MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding the initramfs and at least it looked like that way the problems went away but it added about 4 seconds to the time spent by the "kernel" during boot which is quite unacceptable. (Plots with and without i915 in MODULES).
I read the systemd.unit and systemd.service man pages but I can't find a way to speficy required kernel modules for a service file. I'm not sure if specifying the modules in /etc/modules-load.d shouldn't be enough (because apparently it's supposed to load for sysinit.target, which is early) but apparently it isn't.
Any ideas how I can get these services to work properly without sacrificing too much boot time?
Thank you

I am unable to connect to facetime . it says connecting but then fails?
We have several apple devices connected to same apple id- 3 iphones and one ipad. we are trying to connect on facetime. i am unable to connect- it says connecting and then failed
What version of iOS are all of you running?

When I press theFacebook icon, it starts to connect and then goes back to iPad homepage
Facebook icon on homepage will not connect me to Facebook. It starts to, then immediately goes back to iPad gomepage
Is it just that app you're having an issue with?
Make sure your iOS is updated.
Reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
All else fails, delete the app, and then download again. -
my apps are not updating when I try it starts to load then quits then i get the msg that the app cannot be downloaded at this time
Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

When it fails it says " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly."
I tried to update Creative Cloud and update my inDesign to see if they would make it open, but that didn't work.Some ideas/questions:
Minimum PC specifications met?
If Windows, are there other system problems to be solved? Topic: maintenance center
Installation was successful, without warnings?
Is any anti-virus software installed and probably interfering?
Try to create a new user and try there.
If Windows: switch off any non-Windows background software temporarily and try again. If it works then, enable them again step by step to find the culprit. -
HT1414 my iphone started to install update then failed and now i cannot use the phone
the phone is connected to my mac and when i go into itunes i cannot bring up the phone to do a restore
I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

IMac tries to start in safe mode but fails.
I have a Mid 2010 iMac running Maverick. I added 16gb of ram to the 4 existing which I have done on many Macs. It started up but after a minute or two it forced restarted on its own. I then tried it a few more times and continued to crash then restart. I started it in safe mode. It nearly loaded completely the safe start then shut down. Any time I now try to start it, it does the same thing, starts in safe mode then fails. I have taken the 16 extra gas of ram out and it still fails to load. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Have you tried repairing the disk? I know it seems simple but sometimes this can be the problem.
Hold down Command+R when starting the computer, select repair disk from the menu.
This won't delete any data and may not work but it's worth a try. -

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message keeps displaying whenever I try to open any Adobe CS5 applications (except for Adobe Acrobat Pro). It displays until I click "OK" about 15-20 times or so and then will finally let my program open.
I have tried deleting files within my Library/Preferences folder and turning off/deleting login items within my system preferences as other forums suggested but nothing happened. Spending 3.5 hours on the phone with Adobe and completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire CS5 Master Collection didn't work either.
Also, it may be helpful to know that my programs worked fine for about three weeks then when we got internet and changed the password (the join, not the adminstrative password) with the wireless network "ScubaSteve" (which I've used with no problems at my old apartment) it started acting up. I have never seen "rrnas01" before so I don't know at all where it came from. I also installed the free 30 day trial of Suitcase Fusion 3 recently, but thinking that could also be the cause I have uninstalled it, and still no help.
Please help me! And please keep in mind I don't know all the computer lingo that a lot of the people in these forums seem to know. Thanks in advance for ny help you can give me.It may not be possible .. there is a major bug between Mountain Lion and the TC where the TC disk goes off the radar of the computer.
Lion is also affected but not as badly.
7.6.4 seems worse than earlier firmware.. so back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2 if that is possible.
Obviously that is not a solution for a later Gen5 TC.
Reset to factory after the firmware downgrade. .use all network names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
If the TC is the main router set the dhcp to a very short lease time.. eg 30min.. and see how it goes, or try a longer lease like 99days.
I prefer the very short lease but response has been mixed.
Use ethernet not wireless.. ethernet is always more reliable and stable than wireless.
And last .. a nightly electric timer that powers off every night at midnight for 1min.. would not be the first device we have suggested a fix that amounts to beat the unit to the punch by forcing it to reboot since it is unstable. -
Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?
Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

I have OSX 10.6.8 with FaceTime 1.0.2. It rings, tries to connect, then fails. Is there an update for Facetime for this OSX 10.6.8?
Hi Pam TX,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If you have FaceTime 1.0.2 on OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), you can update to version 1.0.5 to resolve this issue:
OS X: FaceTime calls no longer connect when using Snow Leopard - Apple Support
Install the latest FaceTime update available from the Updates pane of the Mac App Store to resolve this issue.

FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts. When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically. When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail. I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone. I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.
