Hi frank ,
Could you try a couple of things to see if it solves the problem ? ( and hopefully save the said 130£)
Firstly, I hope you have done the speedtest to confirm you are indeed receiving the necessary speeds.
1. Can you restart the hub by holding down the restart button for about 10 seconds until the lights start to flash ?
2. Can you reset the HUB to the factory settings ? There should be a pinhole of sorts behind the hub which would reset it to the factory settings. I suggest you locate the original password list close before you do this.
3. Can you make sure there are no other computers connected to the Hub (wired or wireless ) and then see if the picture keeps freezing ?
Let us know if anything works at all.

Skype constantly buffers and freezes on my phone (...

My phone constantly buffers and freezes. I have a Nokia Lumia 530 phone and I'm always having problems.

This phone is probably not the best one for Skype, but if you were using 3G then please try to use Skype over Wifi. Also make sure you have the latest Skype for Android.
If the call quality is still not good and constantly dropping out then you may request a refund. There's not much we can do on our side regarding connection.

How do I diagnose buffering and freezing problems?

My home business uses flash player to stream horse race videos from four different sites for several hours every day. How can I diagnose recurring yet unpredictable slow downs, buffering, freezing, even Flash Player crashing? Here are the specifics:
We use Chrome, IE and Firebox browsers. We have problems on all the browsers.
All computers in our house have problems but the primary one is: Vista Home Premium 64 bit, Windows 6.0 sp2, 4GB memory.
Our connection screams at 20GB down, 5GBup. I run Internet speed tests during the slowdowns and we are still at this level. The main computer is hard wired into the router, all others are wireless.
Flash Player is used by all four internet sites. All are running at the lastest release version.
I have disabled hardware accelerator, checked the cache setting, etc.
We work in two modes: 1 - streaming live video from the race track. 2 - Playing archived race replays from a replay service during which we pause and rewind extensively.
Some days we have almost no buffering problems, other days the buffering is unmanageable.
Some days (during replay watching) Flash Player freezes and crashes many times, other days there is no problem.
A few months ago, there was almost no problem. Over time things have gotten progressively worse.
How can I determine if Flash Player is the problem? Are there ways of getting throughput statistics from Flash? How can I determine the bottleneck or problem area?

The only possible ways to get a virus are:
-Jailbreak
-Downloading an app that is not from the App Store.
Other than that, your iPhone is fine.

ATV Streaming MP4 HD over network constantly buffering and freezing help

Hi so the problem is the bulk of my collection of movies are in h264 MP4, and I don't sync movies to the Apple TV it's mainly a streaming tool to my tv. The problem is it's buffering the movie every 20 minutes so it pauses and a few minutes later it resumes. The strange thing is, that my network is gigabit. So it shouldn't have this issue. Another strange issue is it doesn't do this instantly when I first turned it on this morning it played through an entire movie without hitching. But later it started re-buffering I would like to believe it's over heating but I have no idea. Apple Geniuses have been less than helpful I brought it in they say nothing wrong with it. But the issue persist any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks for any help.

I've just had the same thing start happening on my network. iTunes library is about 1.7 TB on a software RAID connected via USB and managed by a MacBook CoreDuo with 1 GB RAM. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been noticing increasing cases of buffering, getting up to about a 40 second buffer every five minutes yesterday while watching a 45 minute show. I'd written it off to network issues (even though the ATV is ethernet into a hub with the MacBook), but yesterday my daughter was watching a movie on my other ATV (connected by 802.11G) and complained that her movie was pausing at exactly the same time as mine. Leads me to believe it's my Mac, not the ATVs or network... Going to try upping the MacBook's RAM to 2GB this week to see if it fixes it, but is it possible that my library is just too big to manage?

Testing iscsi and ocfs2: lost packets and freeze tests

I have iscsi , ocfs2, asmlib installed on Centos4 (based upon j.hunter's article on building an iscsi/rac system). I am trying to confirm that these layers are functioning correctly and will not pose problems when clusterware/asm/rac is installed.
What do you think of these test results?
1. simultaneoulsly copying files from each node to the iscsi shared storage causes lots of lost packets and one of the 2 nodes will spend most of its time blocked by the other.
2. Unplugging an ethernet cable causes the server to freeze after a few minutes. Plugging the cable back in does nothing to eleviate the hang problem.

For performance, you need to tune your core network buffers and tcp network buffers (namely the [rw]mem_(default|max) and tcp_[rw]mem values. And you need to have a Gigabit network for such performance.
For the hang situation, it looks like as if you are unplugging a SCSI device where it is not hot swappable. You can diagnose the problem using a serial console / netdump server / or Sysrq-w / Sysrq-T dumps.

Unwanted pausing and freezing at the beginning - Flash player problem - Need help

Hi everybody,
I have got the following problem: the problem occurs especially on youtube.com.
Every time when I open a video, the adobe flash player buffers the video a little bit and suddenly the grey line, which means the buffering on youtube video, stops. Then video plays only until the end of the grey buffer line. Then it freeze and I have to wait until 10-20 seconds until the grey line continues moving forward and at the same time the video continues to play.
But I don't want to have that freezing problem at the beginning of each video.
The important thing to know is: when I used a very old version of the flash player (the version 9 or 10) then every video on youtube worked very well without any freezing problems at the beginning
What is the solution. Can you please help me?
Here is what I have done so far:
I updated my flash player to the latest version.
My internet speed is very fast.
When I click right on the youtube video screen in order to go to the settings: then I unchecked "active hardware acceleration, I changed the temporary storage limit to "unlimited".
My global settings looks like the following: I checked "allow websites to save information on your computer" and "ask if a website wants to use a peer assisted network".
My OS: Windows 7 (64)
Current version of firefox, chrome and IE. I have the problem in every browser.
In the attachment you can see 2 screenshots of my problem: One where you can see the grey buffer line. and the 2nd: where you can see that the video stopped loading and buffering and the video stopped playing.
Unfortunately, I don't get money from the company for advertising its product *sigh*. ;-)

Just because your internet connection is fast doesn't mean that the route from the specific server to you is also equivalently fast. You can get some additional information by right-clicking the YouTube video and choosing Stats for nerds. That information would be interesting.
If video plays back fine once it actually buffers successfully, then there's probably not a lot you can do. You might take a look at a different browser. Google Chrome will probably use HTML5 playback on YouTube, and Internet Explorer will use the ActiveX control on Flash, which is significantly different from the NPAPI Flash Player used in Firefox.

Flash stops working and freezes firefox. I have Fast dial and dont want to lose it so what can I do to fix this?

It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying
Best regards

Bridge CC is asking my to 'purge cache'. When I do this doesn't work and freezes my mac. Bridge is unable to work at all. Please help?

When I start up Bridge CC I get a error message instructing me to purge cache in preferences which I do but it doesn't work and freezes my mac. I cannot curretnly use Bridge CC. PLease help as this is costing me time and money - thank you in advance....

Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, keep it down until you see a dialog box, then click all three options in the re-set box that comes up.
If you don't see that re-set box, you're doing it wrong, i.e., you're not holding the Option key down fast enough.

X100e Hanging and Freezing on Wireless

     There was a different thread addressing freezing and hanging when connected via ethernet; however, I have had ethernet disabled from the BIOS since day one of receiving my system but I found my system to be locking up extremely often particularly when connected to the Wi-Fi at Purdue University.
     For reference: The wireless network at Purdue University uses WPA-Enterprise with PEAP + Thawte Security Certificate.
     Naturally, I had the latest BIOS (1.25) and had all the updates available from ThinkVantage System Update, but this did not seem to help any - when I was browsing on my university network it would simply hang and freeze up completely every 30 minutes or so, forcing me to restart the system. It would seem to freeze regardless of whether or not I was even doing anything on the internet.
There did not seem to be any serious issues on my home network, however, which used WPA2-Personal, but I do not really use my x100e at home enough to say for sure.
     I was quite convinced that there was some sort of problem with either the wireless adapter drivers or some sort of power saving feature at this point, so I uninstalled the Lenovo x100e wireless drivers and obtained the newest drivers for the RTL8192SE chipset directly from RealTek and installed them.
     I then went and disabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the wireless adapter from Device Manager. I also set the wireless adapter to "Maximum Performance" and turned off PCI Express Link state power management from the power manager. I also turned off idle timers for stopping hard disk rotation, system standy, and hibernation.
Now after this little set of actions I seem to be able to more or less surf and download things stably on my university network. I must note that, the system will still hang every now and then while I am browsing around. I don't notice any particular pattern to this hanging; it simply happens when I have a browser open and am surfing normally - it will hang for about 40 seconds or so (I can move my mouse but nothing will respond) and then it will simply resume normal operation.
So there is my story....
Has anyone else ever experienced hanging or freezing on wireless networks with their x100e?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
So far, my networking results with my ThinkPad X100e have been very good, but I have only used it on a few networks.
Have you tried using your ThinkPad X100e on different wireless networks to see if the results vary? Perhaps the problem occurs with wireless networks that are configured in a specific fashion or using specific hardware. Connecting at a local coffee shop or public library or other venue with wireless Internet access may provide a different experience.

IMac loudly whirs and freezes. please help!

I have a 27" iMac purchased November 2009. Have tried searching discussions for help but am unsure what to call the problem as it is so peculiar!
Several times an hour it makes a strange loud whirring noise (which does not appear to be a fan to me as it is not a smooth sound, sounds more like a hard drive 'thinking' possibly?? but I have no idea) and freezes until the noise stops (which generally takes anywhere between 10-30 seconds). Very frustrating as it interupts my workflow and all I can do is wait it out. It does not seem to matter how many/which applications are running. it happens when i have creative suite open but then it also happens if all i have open is chrome!
It is within warranty, however I have no time to take it to be fixed until November as I can't be without it until then, so am hoping someone will have a suggestion to help me out!
I don't know what other information would be helpful, but just in case, it has 4GB of RAM and has a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and still has about 775GB of hard drive space free.
would doing a fresh install of my OS help?
any advice you can give me would be appreciated! or point me towards an existing discussion (all i could find were people describing their whirring noise as a buzzing, and mine is definitely not buzzing)

My first thought would be the hard drive, you may not have time to get it check out until November
but think about what you might loose if you don't. Just have a great backup plan for a just
incase scenario
If its not a harddrive, what ever you have going on is not good, as your aware of, you need to
reevaluate and think about if you lost what you have verses not having access to your files.
I assume you have contacted Apple support on the phone, to see what they might have to say
Its nothing to fool with in my opinion

My weather channel app doesn't work and freezes my phone

My weather channel app doesn't work and freezes my phone. I've tried closing the app. Also tried deleting and readding it. All my other apps work.

Try this:
Make sure your iPhone is fully updated.
Restart your iPhone
Do NOT open the app, just delete it
Reset your iPhone (hold down sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously until you see an apple logo, then release the buttons)
Readd the app
Open the app and test.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, then it may be an issue with the app itself and you might have to contact the app's developer.
