Sys Pref Network Hanging - going crazy
When I go to System Pref > Network a drop down occurs saying "Your network setting have been changed by another application"
I click OK and it keeps dropping. I have to force quit the system pref app.
I've tried deleting any prefs in my user lib having anything to do with "network" and nothing helps.
Any ideas, this is driving me crazy.
Hi Robert,
Did you try this cure for Security update, that aren't in your User's folder...

Sys Prefs/Network asking to authenticate a PCI FW card?
Hello again folks,
Another odd anomaly - when I open system preferences and hit the Network tab, an alert screen pops up asking me to "Authenticate" a PCI FireWire Slot 4... Yup, I recently installed a FW800 card - and it appears to be working (drives are OK, shows up in system profiler). What exactly is this asking for - there is one proxy setting for the built in FW400, a box checked for: Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)?
Am I over thinking this again? Couldn't find anything relevant in the Missing Manual...

Graphics is built into the motherboard.
Can only upgrade with new motherboard.
Only a few laptops have graphics cards that can be up graded. "Like Alienware"
Good luck.

[SOLVED] Network Upload goes crazy at XFCE startup
My machine sends massive amounts of data to my router until it crashes.
When i boot my machine and start XFCE, the network monitor shows that i am constantly uploading about 8 MB/s. At the same time, i get no connection to the internet whatsoever. After a short time the router crashes and needs to be rebooted. I can bypass this behaviour if i quickly unplug the cable when it begins to mass-shovel the data and plug it in again. Then, everything turns to normal and i immediately get internet access.
How can i find out which service or application is causing this?

sudo tcpdump -s 0 -w netcaptured.cap
after you've logged into xfce swith back to tcpdump hit Ctrl + C to stop it. Open this file in wireshark. Whatever it is is probably using dns so in filter bar enter udp.port == 53
Ok, i did this. The log got huge after a very short time and is overloaded by this lines:

When using Live View, site looks great, browser testing goes crazy
I am creating a new website (and I am really unexperienced with Dreamwaver CS5). But when I check my site using "Live View" everything looks great, the way it is supposed to. Then when I go to test it in my browswer (Primary browser is Chrome) it goes crazy: I at first noticed that I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml I did delete the first line of code already that the .asp file created as it kept giving me an error on line 1.
Then I tried to do a spry drop-down menu bar, which I have deleted since I thought I was doing something wrong with that and I should just stick to what I half-way know.
If I were to preview the template page it gives me this error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 150 at column 76: error parsing attribute name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Here is line 150:
if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
If I were to test the index.xhtml page in the browser, it ignores most images (all but one), and the first nav-bar (an editable region) appears to the left instead of under the header. The layout is totally ignored and everything is on the left-hand side of the screen instead of in a two column layout.
I am not testing this on a server just off of my computer.
I am assuming that the error has something to do with the .asp file I first did and when I resaved it, since I don't know what I would be looking for, is still in there screwing it up.
Here is the code from the template page:

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the left instead of the right, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all left instead of all right) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

<h1>Instructions</h1>
<p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
<h2>Clearing Method</h2>
<p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
<h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
<p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #C00; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Logo Replacement</span></p>
<p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
<p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
<h4>Backgrounds</h4>
<p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

Mac Os 10.6.6 update start the fans goes crazy
Hi to all
Some months ago (almost a year from now) my mac start to become hot after only a few minutes it started up and the fan goes crazy but I never realize why. I made some search on the internet but the only answer I found was using some software to reduce fan speed. It didn't work. I run the Hardware test but nothing strange. I also took my macbook to an apple certified repair center but they told me that nothing was wrong. I also ask to another repair center but same thing. So I left my macbook as it was with this super fan noise all the time. A quite disturbing thing but there was no solution and for what I'm doing my machine is ok so why change it? (It was the only solution they gave me)
Last day my hd broke down so I had to replace it. I took my macbook pro a1211 model to an apple repair center they change the hd with a new one.
So I reinstall everything for the beginning. I took my snow leopard dvd formatted the new hd, installed the os, iWork 2008, iLife 2008, Mamp, CSS Edit, Espresso, Pixelmator and few other application such as Firefox, Camino, Etc...
I use the macbook with mac os 10.6, because I had to finish some work, and with my big surprise for two days the machine was super silent no fans, no hot body ..... nothing. I never reboot it and still no fans and hot body wow.
Today I wanted to install the developer kit with ios 4.2 and so I had to update the Mac os x to version 10.6.6 as soon as I made the update after the reboot the fans start again to go like crazy and after 15 minutes of work the macbook body become very hot.
The question is why?
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance
GianfrancoHI R C-R.
The apps i've installed are just a few. Espresso, CSS Edit, MAMP, TextWrangler,Firefox, Camino, Chrome, Opera,BetterZip, Stuffit Expander, Pixelmator, 1Password, Dropbox, Xslimmer, VLC, CyberDuck, littlesnitch, iworks, iLife, wacom tablet driver.
Nothing more. All the software is updated.
Here the data but as you can see nothing strange but fans are on at the maximum speed!

I am trying to set up my Airport Express as a "WDS remote/relay station" to bridge my existing BT HomeHub (the new black one) broadband wireless network to other wireless PCs, Playstation, etc located in other rooms of my house to which my wireless range doesn't reach. I have had it confirmed by several Apple people that this can easily be done. So, I plug the Airport Express (AE) into a power socket with nothing connected to the AE and within close range of my BT HomeHub. The AE light goes green, amber and then after a minute flashes amber and contiues to flash amber. I have loaded the Airport Utility software (the disc that came with the AE) and it scans but cannot locate anything. I've removed and reset but still the same. I called Apple and the advisor said I need to change my BT Broadband from WPA to WEP. I've tried this (on both 'bit' options) but still the confounded AE flashes amber. I'm not highly technical, please help! Thanks.
I have had it confirmed by several Apple people that this can easily be done.
Sorry but the only non-Apple devices that I am aware of that are compatible with Apple's WDS are the following:
3com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router model 3crwdr100a-72 but ONLY with NO encryption
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
Buffalo WGR-G54
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
Netgear WGR614 v6
SMC (one model - don't know the model number)
Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)
If your BT HomeHub is not on that list using WDS is probably not possible. -
Since upgrading to Lion OSX.10.7.3 I am having network problems. It changes my preferences even though I lock them. I cannot connect to the internet most of the time. How do i lock my preferences so the program will not change them? When it changes them it also freezes the curser where it won't work. I'm going crazy trying to fix this problem. Please help me!

my computer is infected with ?malware and it makes the cursor goes crazy. apple support wants to charge me to fix this.
paid more for the apple laptop because it had built in protection. not fair. shame on Apple. can anyone help?Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. 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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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(s)? 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, 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. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -

The battery life is terrible! I have 2 batteries that don't hold much of a charge at all. They each last about an hour just while browsing the web. No flash content either.
My power adapters haven't been working right in a long time, so I called AppleCare. They were really nice, and knew what was going on and offered to help me out. The agent suspected the worst, as I did, and said that there was obviously something wrong with the computer, as I have 2 screwed up batteries and 3 screwed up chargers. The chargers don't charge it right. The LED indicator does whatever it wants and the agent said it was because there were problems with the part of the logic board that controlled charging or something like that. The LED is green when it's charging sometimes, and is orange when it's charged. Or OFF all together when it's charged. They also get dangerously hot, to the point where I can't even pick them up without them burning my hands. I've tried it in multiple outlets, etc. Even in a different state halfway across the country! So again, I took it into the store. They said they again couldn't help me, that I damaged the power adapters myself! That's crazy! They said they couldn't replicate the issue, but strangely enough when I found a power outlet in the store and tried it, it messed up AGAIN!
I've been in touch with Corporate Customer Relations, and they want me to take it back to the store, but there comes a point when you just say NO. I have to drive across town to go there, and I don't have time to screw with those idiots up there anymore. He (Ryan) also suggested an authorized service provider, but they can't help me either. So now, I'm stuck. I don't know what to do now.
Now, the keyboard randomly types things and the trackpad goes crazy. I installed more RAM a while back (so I'm up to 4GB), and it runs as slow as my first 512MB system. It constantly uses 3GB just sitting in the Finder with nothing open. External devices don't work right, or refuse to mount. And my airport card randomly disconnects me from my network.
I am so gentle on these computers, because I bust my tail to afford nice things like Apple Products. I have NO reason to purposely damage products, and that's absolutely crazy to say that I do. I spend a lot of money with these people, and so do countless friends and family members. I thought customer service was a priority, but apparently it's not.
I need help!

How do you expect to get anything fixed if you don't want to cooperate with Apple? No one in these forums can magically fix it.
Call Apple back and have them send you a box to ship it in for service. I live 90 miles from an Apple Store, so I sent mine in. Apple pays all shipping, so there is no charge to you. I had the computer back in three days also.
If Apple can't get it fixed after three repair attempts, the usually replace the unit. They did for me. You just need to be patient and follow protocol. It's that simple.

Startup Disk Utl/Sys Pref Quits Unexpectedly
I have a G4 533 DA that has 2 HD's. One HD has OS 9.2 loaded and the other HD is partitioned into 3 HD's. One partition has OS 10.1.5. The others were for storage. I loaded OS 10.4 onto one of the partitions and then used the installer to bring over apps/data,etc., to the OS 10.4 HD.
Whenever I try to open "Startup Disk" as a Utility or Sys Preferences I get the "Quit Unexpectedly" notice. I read in a prev. disc. that someone said to use "console log" to see what was happening and post it. So I am posting it below.
I also tried another prior suggestion and created another User and tried to open it but the same thing happens. In fact, if I open it through the Sys Pref's it doesn't show any of the HD's only sort of an image of a HD with "network" "?" on it before it quits.
Is 10.4 finicky about having 9.2 on a separate HD or another OS X on the same HD even if it's partitioned?
Any help wold be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

After receiving so much help I decided to try reloading 10.4. I did an archive/install, and creation of a new second Sys. folder seemed to do the trick. -
My Finder is going crazy. Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop. buttons don't work.
Something else you can try.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates. -
Regarding Safari; (screen goes crazy when I press the Top Sites bottom)
Regarding Safari; When I open safari everything works fine, but when I press the top sites bottom, the screen goes crazy for a second and then goes to the top sites. It is not fading or dimming from one screen to the other like it use to do. any sugestions. Thanks
Nope, it isn't normal, but I don't know the cause. You might have better luck posting in the Safari forum:

My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
How Do You Get the Apple Trackpad Icon to Show Up in Sys Prefs?
Just upgraded to 10.6.4, did all software updates, and bought the Trackpad. Trackpad works, but there is no icon for it in the Sys Prefs to make adjustments. Suggestions?
Thanks
TomThanks!
Yeah I saw it last night on the Apple website, and ran to the Apple store today to get one, All Things Apple Fanboy that I am
It really looks cool, and is very responsive as you would expect, but after decades with a mouse, will take some getting used to. I've been using it all evening and starting to feel a bit more comfortable with it. Quite a change though. I do love not having the space it saves in not having to move the mouse around....thanks again..
