Troubleshooting checklist?

As I've made extensive use (my thanks to all of you on these forums!) of these Discussion pages, particularly for troubleshooting my slow Safari problem, one poster with regard to a possible incompatible plug-in problem affecting a Safari upgrade, in passing noted:
it's beeen a while since I sorted my own problems like this so I forget you really need to go through a troubleshooting checklist in your head.
I was wondering what people would consider as a troubleshooting checklist for Safari.
(In general, I've found that the computer's MacHelp or Apple's online Support pages are useful for novices and for very experienced and/or knowledgable computer users, but there's a lack of good information for those of us who are intermediate between these zones. And I find that these Discussions have been great at filling the need for help and information within what I call this intermediate zone. As one poster noted in a thread on these forums "I know enough about Mac to be dangerous but not enough to be helpful".)

Hi JNK,
As we were discussing elsewhere, I'd say plug-ins of any variety are a good starting point. I always used to remember under OS9 and before, that every time my computer crashed it was normally either a) I'd added a new extension, or b) I'd upgraded my operating system and it was now clashing with old versions of extensions.
So I guess the first port of call is - delete any cache items, then remove all plug-ins from the offending application. If that solves the problem, re-installing each plug-in at a time should be okay so long as you check that the program still works after putting back each one.
Of course, one thing that is a thing of the past thanks to OSX, is making sure your memory allocation is big enough for the app

  • General Internet Troubleshooting Checklist

    We have a great troubleshooting team for Online Banking products, but often they get a lot of general IT questions concerning settings/cookies/plugins. I was curious if anyone had any suggestions on a good general IT troubleshooting script I can give them to build off of. I am thinking basic help desk 101 stuff, did you minimize the window, what browser are you using, what symbol does that browser have, are you at your desk (had that one a few times while helping troubleshoot).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  • Troubleshooting for RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue

    RPC over https (ROH), well known as Outlook Anywhere, is more frequently used. Even in Exchange 2013, Outlook no longer connects CAS server via MAPI.
    In this thread, we will discuss about the troubleshoot checklist about the RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue. In order to make it more logical, I’d like to divide the whole troubleshooting to the following processes:
    1. Client side to CAS side
    2. CAS side to MBX side
    [Issues between Client side to CAS side]
    In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default. Different from this, Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2007 and 2010 need to be manually enabled. Thus, please firstly check if the RPC over HTTP component has been installed:
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    Double-click Programs and Features.
    In the left pane of Server Manager, click Features.
    In the right pane, click Add Features.
    Check if the RPC over HTTP component has been selected.
    If the ROH connectivity issue only happens on certain users, the property MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHTTP can be checked: 
    Get-CASMailbox  name | fl MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp
    2. Confirm if Exchange server is blocked. Ping the Exchange server FQDN on client machine and confirm if it can return the proper IP address.
    3. Check if the RPC Proxy server is responding correctly:
     rpcping -t ncacn_http -s ExchServer -o RpcProxy=RPCProxyServer -P "user,domain,*" -I "user,domain,*" -H 2 -u 10 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -E -R none
    If 200 code returns, the test is successful.
    4. Check if Outlook Anywhere host names are added in the certificate:
    To get host names, the following command can be used: get-outlookanywhere |fl *hostname
    5. To use the Shell to test Outlook Anywhere connectivity, use the
    Test-OutlookConnectivity cmdlet.
    [Issues between CAS side to Mailbox side][RZ1] 
    A. Check if it can connect to store’s port:
    RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 1 –F 3 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6001
    If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms  16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
    B. Check if it can Connect to DsProxy Service:
    RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 2 –F 2 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6004
    If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms  16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
    C. Check the following registries:
    [Disable the auto update]
    1).Open Regedit and navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeServiceHost\RpcHttpConfigurator\RpcHttpConfigurator
    2).Set the PeriodicPollingMinutes value to 0.
    [Check the RpcProxy ValidPorts]
    1).On the RPC proxy server, start Registry Editor (Regedit).
    2). In the console tree, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy
    3). In the details pane, right-click the ValidPorts subkey, and then click Modify.
    4). In Edit String, in the Value data box, type the following information:
    ExchangeServer :6001-6002; ExchangeServerFQDN :6001-6002; ExchangeServer :6004; ExchangeServerFQDN :6004
    Note:
    ExchangeServer is the NetBIOS name of your Exchange server. ExchangeServerFQDN is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Exchange server. If the FQDN that is used to access the server from the Internet differs from the internal FQDN, you must use
    the internal FQDN.
    [Check the 6004 port settings in registry]
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
    Value name: HTTP Port
    Value type: REG_DWORD
    Value data: 0x1772 (Decimal 6002)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
    Value name: Rpc/HTTP NSPI Port
    Value type: REG_DWORD   
    Value data: 0x1774 (Decimal 6004)
    D. Check if the RPC ports are used by other applications instead of Exchange by using : netstat –o
     Then it will return all active TCP connections and the process ID (PID) for each connection.
     After that, please check the application based on the PID on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager and confirm if it’s Exchange server.
    Additionally, ExRCA is a perfect tool to test the whole connection between client side and Mailbox side:
    https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
    1. On the ExRCA website, under Microsoft Office Outlook Connectivity Tests, select Outlook connectivity, and then select Next at the bottom of the page.
    2. Enter the required information on the next screen, including email address, domain and user name, and password.
    3. Choose whether to use Autodiscover to detect server settings or to manually specify server settings.
    4. Accept the disclaimer, enter the verification code, and then select Verify.
    5. Select Perform Test.

    I've just restored the M11 to Windows XP with the disks provided and Outlook Anywhere connected without issue. As strange as it sounds, this looks to be isolated to this particular model of laptop and Windows 7.
    I've used the same Enterprise copy of Windows 7 and Office on a variety of laptops and pc's and none have come across this problem. The only commonality I can see is the hardware and OS.
    Aftery trying to troubleshoot this unsuccessfully with Microsoft tech support for a few hours, they eluded to the fact that this +could+ be a hardware related problem. (driver, adapter properties, etc)

  • Error while cancelling a migrated PO

    Hello All,
    We are trying to cancel a migrated PO. While cancelling, we are getting an error Document control failed due to error in [DOCMGR-CANCEL] with a return code of [OTHER].
    I referred the note Master Note of Fixes for Error - Document control failed due to error in [DOCMGR-CANCEL] with a return code of [OTHER] (Doc ID 1482447.1)
    As per point no 4 in this note I checked the PO Document Approval Manager.
    The Note says
    *3.Verify the number of target processes should be equal to the number of running processors.*
    which is equal in our case.
    Also, in the Status column, you should see 'Activate concurrent Manager'. That means the manager is running or active.
    In our case the Status column is blank. This is the only difference that I find in the resolution steps provided in the note.
    Can this be the cause for our problem? Because we are not facing this issue for all the POs.
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • ICal Crashes

    I tried doing a search, but apprently I am the only one to make this mistake for a few years...
    So, I was trying to change my ical icon, misread the directions, and screwed it up. Essentially, I took the App-empty.icns file, made a copy (just in case), then replaced the original file with the new icon. When I realized my mistake, I erased the new icon file, and renamed the copy file as the original. Apparently my just-in-case plan did not work.
    When I click on the iCal icon to open the app, it immediately gives me a couple error messages, essentially stating that iCal has quit unexpectedly, but other applications are not affected. I can't readily see how to post screenshots on this forum, so if someone is willing to enlighten me I will post those. If it would be helpful to post the error report to apple I will post that as well, but be warned that it is pretty long (and to me, incoherent).
    I know that the calendar information has not been compromized b/c I can still see it on my MenuCalendarClock list. I just can't get into iCal to make changes.
    Here is what I have done to try to fix this problem thus far:
    - Created a second user account to access iCal. Same problem occurs with new user account.
    - Verified and repaired HD disk permissions.
    - In the MacRumors forum, it was advised to use Pacifist in conjunction with my Apple install disks to re-install iCal. I couldn't find iCal on the installation disks, so I went ahead and reinstalled the bundled software in its entirety.
    Any help or advice you may have would be greatly appreciated.

    emtp6811,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    John Maisey has provided an excellent troubleshooting checklist for iCal which may prove to helpful for you. Although you have already tried some of the steps, start from the beginning and eliminate all possibilities in the order presented.
    You can reinstall iCal without Pacifist and without installing all bundles, by using the Custom Installs feature of Mac OS X 10.4, but you should follow it up with the most recent OS X Combo Update appropriate for your system as well as the most recent and appropriate Security Update if it was issued after the Combo Update.

  • Applications won't open

    A few of my applications will not open when I click their icon in the dock, the Finder or files created by them. The applications that won't open are Quicken 2004, Appleworks 6, Internet Explorer, and MacLink Plus Deluxe. I recently downloaded some software using software update and the problem seemed to start after that but not absolutely sure. There are no error messages or anything like that. The apps blink or jump for a split second but the app name never appears in the top menu.
    I've tried starting from the System Software CD and using it's Disc Utility to repair permissions and the Hard Disc to no avail. Someone suggested that the ITunes update may be interfering with the Disc Utility software and to fix it I shold remove the Receipts folder from the Library folder, start up from the System software CD , run disc utility, reboot and put the Receipts folder back where it was. I tried all this and nothing improved. All my other applications, both MAC native and otherwise are running fine. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy as I need to use the Quicken virtually daily. Fortunately I have an Imac with OS 10.3.9 also and I can use it for the time being but it can't go with me when I travel. I also down loaded the same updates to the Imac and all of those applications are working fine on that machine.

    I poked holes in the firewall, set up a receive connector in exchange server as well.
    In outbound email settings, I tried putting in the IP address and the server name (which both should work) but nothing happened. 
    Any suggestions anyone?

    could you please give us more details about the issue.

  • Intra-Discussions URLs = intermittently awry? ("little gray squares")

    Hi, Friends!
    This may be a very naïve question — or it may have been answered 10x over. I've had no success finding a solution after searching herein, so I'm asking for help...
    Intermittently, "intra-Discussions links" — "text URLs" I've written as links to other posts — just don't work. Other times, the same formatting works fine. I haven't been able to predict, and QA/QC gets tiresome.
    Can someone help me understand? Is it simply a vestige of transition, or server hiccups, or my lack of savvy, or... ?       I'm still learning html, so perhaps the use of both/either XYXYXYX&#XYXYXYX and XYXYXYX#XYXYXYX in post identifiers — seemingly interchangeably — is what has me confused...?
    I'm having trouble describing this succinctly. Please bear with me...
    Trying to explain:
      (1) Method One. I prefer this approach for linking to a post that I think is apropos:
    I access the URL for a given post (often not the original post in the thread). One way to do this — kindly authored by ali brown — involves editing a "Reply" link to the post you want to reference. I usually use a simple search, requiring that bit of time, but avoiding any errors that might arise from editing. Either way, the resulting format looks like this:
          <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1902768#1902768"> Bluetooth
            Troubleshooting Checklist</a>"       or   " 1902768&#1902768<font color="000000" "
    Externally, this link works fine — and it usually does internally, too. (It works now, too — <i>after</i> I edited it until my eyes crossed.)
    <font color="000066">But sometimes, that method goes wacky. I'll have trouble posting an edited post, or discover that the link is dysfunctional while I'm checking through a post for accuracy. Going back to the Editor, I'll discover that — in these cases — the second post ID (in the above case, the 1902768 after the #) has been replaced by two solid gray squares. No amount of retrying, retyping, pasting-in to be sure of accuracy, etc. fixes the problem. The only alternative I've come up with is to manually delete the squares — ending up with a link to the original post of the thread.
    But that doesn't accomplish what was intended, because then a reader has to scan the entire thread to locate the specific post. When that happens, I substitute...
      (1) Method Two. When I "have to live with" this snafu, I'll go back to a format modeled after the "old" Discussions. For this example, this would be:
          <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1902768"> [ "Bluetooth
            Troubleshooting Checklist," Dean Pahl, Mar 11, 2006 10:33 pm ]</a>  
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Dean
    Edit: Egad! The problem happened again as I was editing and correcting this post! (Even though it'd been working fairly well lately...) In fact, it resulted in cutting off 1/2 of the post untll I went back and edited — a few times, as it turned out...

    Thanks grandly, Niel!
    So, to confirm my understanding — simply editing out the ampersand (if it appears in the string) will resolve the difficulty?
    If I may, a few follow-up questions...
    (a) I'd thought this more "random"... tried testing by entering a URL into Safari's address box both including the "&#" and then deleting the "&." Both worked. Perhaps something in the Discussions' software intermittently conflicted with this — or perhaps consistently, and my observatioins were imperfect? I'm pretty familiar with the use of html "character entities" — is that equivalent terminology to what you've called "declaring a Unicode glyph?"
    (b) An example for clarity —> Let's say I jump to the Using Apple Discussions »» Feedback About Discussions main page, and search for < Niel   "Re: Intra-Discussions URLs = intermittently awry? ("little gray squares")" >. Then, following the link back to your post above, I can copy its URL and paste it into an html link within another message. Unfortunately, what's returned ends with "jspa?messageID=1950955&#1950955" — i.e., the character string that may be misinterpreted and cause the misbehavior.
    I'm going to test this out now, using both formats...
    Edited to add:   Interesting... Both formats worked fine to link back to your post — from within this message and from the same link in a TextEdit file. However, when I returned to the Discussions' Editor, the entire string following the first "1950955" morphed into two gray squares. I suppose these are squares just like what happens with an improper key "mapping" — returning to the mis-identification of an html character entity.   It may be that what I'd perceived as "random" was related to whether I used the Editor. So it seems I've proved your assertion in full, and found a correlation about how.
    Was the "?" part of the string added because it was derived from a search?
    My curiosity essentially stems from wanting to simplify posting and  learn more about how & why. Perhaps you could recommend a reference that might help? Before posting originally, I checked a few tutorials such as W3 Schools' — but couldn't find what you've so cogently explained...
    Thanks again!
    Dean

  • Trick to setting up Wake on Wireless?

    My MP is setup for Remote Management, login, file sharing, & printer sharing. I can do anything remotely as long as it's not sleeping. Once it goes to sleep -- nothing.
    I use the current Airport Extreme for my wireless which, incidentally, has random signal drops/self-resets, so maybe the problem isn't my MP but my Airport Extreme.
    Is there a comprehensive setup checklist or troubleshooting checklist somewhere to make it easier to figure out where I'm going wrong?

    Why don't you just open Energy Saver prefs and set the sleep slider to Never?
    I use to do that but 1) it's wasted energy/$ for the two seconds I need to access it to transfer a file or print a doc, and 2) I'd like my machines to work as they are suppose to. Keeping it on never sleep is a workaround and also so 2005.
    Anyway, I checked out the page you linked to and looks llke everything that is suppose to be checked off is, so I'm increasingly think this issue is w/ the Airport Extreme, which has been less than stellar. I also noticed I don't have the latest Airport Extreme. It seems Apple did a silent update late last year if fix the hardware issues w/ the original dual-band. I'm thinking maybe I should put the Airport up on eBay and buy a new one.
