"unavailable" never ending calls.

We keep getting calls that come up as "unavailable" several times a day and at night.When we answer,they hang up after 3 seconds.Is anyone else having this?I think it's an automated dialler.

The only thing that can help is to let all calls go through to an answer machine if you have one.
I personally use and recommend the Truecall unit, expensive to start withm but once you have it it is yours for keeps.
Do a google search for "Truecall"

  • My FaceTime doesn't work... I would call a person, they would accept, and then I would be stuck in a never ending "connecting".. And this problem has been according with not just my ipad, but with other people's iDevices that I know.

    -My wifi connection is running strong
    -All the devices run the same version of iOS

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Can't end call on iPhone

    At the end of a call my iPhone screen is dark and doesn't always pop back to the call screen so I can hit End Call. Therefore, the call continues on until it disconnects. How do I get back to that screen short of never putting the thing to sleep? Could my Marware glove cover have something to do with this?

    Your case is very likely blocking the proximity sensor. Remove the case and see if the problem goes away.

  • Sync never ends

    I have a new 32mb Touch. I originally synced it while on vacation with PC #1, and it worked perfectly. Now I am home, and I have attempted to sync it with PC #2.
    I tried several times to sync to PC #2, and each time it would successfully transfer all (or most) of my media, but the sync process would never end.
    I am using iTunes 7.6.1.9, and my Touch is version 1.1.3 with Software Upgrade.
    I even went so far as to do a total restore of the Touch, but this doesn't seem to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Scene never ends

    hello,
    my scene only contains 2 images.
    the 1st: a layer with the script "stop;", and,on another, a
    movie clip with the scrip:
    onClipEvent(load){
    Calculate approximate kbps after test swf loads
    function getkbps(startTime,sizeInBytes) {
    elapsedTimeMS = getTimer() - startTime; // time elapsed
    since start loading swf
    elapsedTime = elapsedTimeMS/1000; //convert to seconds
    sizeInBits = sizeInBytes * 8; // convert Bytes to bits,
    sizeInKBits = sizeInBits/1024; // convert bits to kbits
    kbps = (sizeInKBits/elapsedTime) * 0.93 ; // IP packet
    header overhead around 7%
    return Math.floor(kbps); // return user friendly number
    Load test.swf with a unique time to work around browser
    caching.
    Browser will always load a new copy of SWF because url is
    different each time.
    now = new Date(); // create date object
    nocacheStr = "?" + now.getTime();
    this.loadMovie("test.swf"/*+ nocacheStr*/);
    onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    // do not execute code until SWF begins to load
    if(this._url != _root._url){
    if(typeof start == "undefined") {start = getTimer();} // set
    start time once
    if(this.getBytesLoaded() < this.getBytesTotal()){ /* not

    You should read up on Garage Band, I figured it out in 2 minutes and I don't really use that program.
    You need to create a new software instrument and then use a midi keyboard or the software one provided. Hit record and hit your note, holding it down as long as you want.

  • Process never ends

    Hi,
    I'm developing -fixing somebody application- a SuperWaba application. SuperWaba is a poor minor release of Java Runtime. I'm transforming SQL Scripts into PDB files -i hate PDB files.
    I make a Class that extends MainWindow that is called by Waba Applet. Waba Applet extends Java Applet -I hope so. When I run my class from the shell (cmd, over a Windows XP), an Applet Window appears and execute without erros my script transforming a SQL script in one or multiple pdb files (depending number of create sentences).
    But, when i call my script from a PHP Script -i really hate this app, PHP + Java + ASP + Visual Basic ... can you believe it ? - the PHP Script launch Java, but Java app never ends blocking my PHP script. I think there is a problem in Applet Window creation, because there is no window or display to launch the app.
    There is a way to run an Applet in background with no visualization ?
    THX 4 Ur HELP

    i really appreciate your help but i forgot to explain the problem
    First, i decide to create a simple Java App that uses the PDBDriver JAR, but the #~"$%" Jar uses something from the Applet. When I run my class it launch these error.

  • Uploading never ends

    my uploading to ANY site NEVER ends!!! tis problem only Firefox experiences!!! it doesn't matter what site I upload to Firefox displays a uploading and never stops for eternity!!! I tried an extension called 'upload progress' to see what the slowness is, and when it gets to 100% I NEVER get redirected to the next step in the upload progress!!! Facebook, Forums, image sites, everything I upload to experiences this issue on Firefox

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Csimport that never ends

    Good morning,
    I am trying to import an ics calendar.
    This calendar has been export with csexport.
    The csexport takes a few seconds.
    But the csimport never ends (after several hours).
    There are 8000 events.
    A truss an the process show almost no nothing except:
    truss -p 16176
    brk(0x01B92320) = 0
    brk(0x01BA4320) = 0
    brk(0x01BB6320) = 0
    brk(0x01BC8320) = 0
    brk(0x01BDA320) = 0
    brk(0x01BEC320) = 0
    I have open call 70642348 because I am stuck.
    Would you know what I could do else to to import this ics file
    or to trace the problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    I do not have other system, but I can provide you the ics file.
    You should immediatly see my problem.
    What I have find out also is that if I export with csexport rather than uwc,
    I do not have this problem although the files are very similar.It might be good to provide both .ics files on the Sun support call -- the calendar exported from uwc, and exported using csexport.
    Thanks.

  • Never-Ending transcoding/importing? Here's the fix.

    Symptom:
    Transcoding keeps getting to 99% or so, and reverting back to 75% and continuing Ad Infinitum in a seeming never-ending loop.
    Problem:
    The registry is corrupted.
    Solution:
    1. Close all programs.
    2. Run Regedit.
    3. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Adobe -> Common.
    4. Delete "Media Cache".
    5. Restart computer.
    Another possible culprit has proved to be an application called "FindSounds Palette" and it should be uninstalled completely using the following method:
    Uninstall "Find Sounds Palette" (FS Palette).
    Delete the two registry key folders for "Comparisonics".
    Uninstall Encore CS3.
    Delete Registry Keys for Encore.
    Restart.
    Re-Install Encore CS3.
    Re-Install Encore 3.0.1 update.
    Restart.

    Never should have been a question - sorry.

  • AdamSync from AD to LDS goes into a continuous never ending loop... can't figure this out.

    I THINK I've got this thing configured up to the point where it should be able to sync.  The XML config is set to just grab a single OU with roughly 12 accounts in it.
    Everything seems to connect OK, then it does a ton of "Processing Entry", even though there are only a few accounts in this OU.
    Then it begins to do "Adding target object..." and gets stuck in a never ending loop.
    Can someone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this?

  • Launching a never ending vi in sequence

    Hi!
    I have a vi that can basically be represented by a while loop that never stops until i press a button.
    I want to load and run this vi from a sequence without it hanging up that sequence.
    Also, at the end of the sequence it would be great if it could end the loop in the vi.
    For this last part I made the vi read out a variable in my locals and stop the loop as soon as it is a certain value.
    (I think this is a good solution, but any suggestions are of course welcome )
    For being able to run the rest of the sequence, even though the vi never ends, I was less successful.
    I tried putting the vi in a subsequence and then running that subsequence in a different thread.
    However, stepping through the main sequence, it does steps over the call of the subsequence,
    but then the main sequence still freezes until i stop the loop in my vi.
    What am i doing wrong exactly? Any help would be much appreciated!
    Solved!

    Run Asynchronous VI basically uses a sequence call module with the "New Thread" option, but I don't think it does much more than that. I think you still have to do ExternallySuspended and/or Termination monitor in your vi. At any rate, I recommend against using Run asynchronous vi as there have been issues with using that step type (confusion over what passing ThisContext means for the most part). See the following link for more details about the issues with Run asynchronous vi if you are interested:

    As far as termination monitor not detecting whether or not the original thread has completed normally, that is not its purpose and not always what a user might want. For example, you might have a worker thread that you want to keep running even after the thread that launched it completes. There might even be more than two threads in the execution and the execution technically isn't complete until all threads are done, including the asynchronous ones. The purpose of the termination monitor is to give the code module a way to detect when the user is requesting a terminate or abort so that it can return and allow the execution to terminate or abort normally (an execution cannot terminate or abort while a code module is still running).
    Like you are suggesting, you can probably pass in the original caller's thread as a parameter to the asynchronous sequence and your VI and call Thread.WaitForEnd on it with a 0 ms timeout to check if it's done in your loop. You need to make sure that you unchecked the "Automatically Wait for the Thread to Complete at the End of the Current Sequence" setting on the advanced panel of your sequence call step though or your threads will both be waiting for each other and never complete. Also the sequence view of the execution is likely to switch to your asynchrous thread at the end because it will be the last thread running, so if you don't want that you should probably just go with passing a boolean variable instead and leave the setting "Automatically Wait for the Thread to Complete at the End of the Current
    Sequence" checked. Do not ever pass ThisContext from one thread to another though as that is the source of the problems people are having with Run VI Asynchronously.
    Hope this helps,

  • Dropped database in a never-ending app

    Hello,
    I have an application which processes all the time by implementing a never-ending loop and a sleep at a given interval. It accesses the database to retrieve, insert and update data throughout the entire process. I have created a connection pool that contains a configurable number of connections (for any future multi-threading) that will be retrieved to complete the SQL transaction and released when it no longer needs it. The list of connections is decreased when I access the pool and increased when the connection is released. My concern is that I would like to detect when the DB has been dropped and brought back up without having to restart my app. The first way to detect it would be to check the connection object when it is used, but I am not sure if that is the way to do it correctly. Does it fail when I create the preparedStatement or when I run executeQuery or executeUpdate? What is the best way to detect whether I need to re-create my pool of connections?
    I appreciate your feedback.
    Thank you

    It will fail when you try to open the connection. If for example you are using a JNDI DataSource when you call the DataSource.getConnection() method it will throw a SQLException with the correct code and message for the database vendor.
    That said, I wouldn't do it the way you're doing it. By holding an open connection, you're pirating a connection resource that the DB may need for something else, or another app might need and in my opinion it's just bad design.
    I would recommend opening the connection at the beginning of the method where you are doing the data access and then closing it (along with all of the other database resources before leaving that method. A general code pattern would look like this.
    public void getSomeInformation(){
      String sql = "SELECT something FROM somewhere" ;
      try{
        // initialize the connection
        // initialize the statement object
        // prepare whatever parameters
        // execute the statement
        // make sure you got some results and process accordingly
      catch(SQLException e){
        // handle any exceptions that might come up
      finally{
        // close the result set
        // close the statement
        // close the connection
        // set all of the above to null to mark them for GC
    }Some of this may seem like overkill, but that's a feeling that goes away when you've had your application spin into the ground because you accidentally left database resources open and killed the database and the application server.
    Yes, there's a little overhead in terms of getting the connection, but it's a delay that my customers have never complained about in the face of the abject reliability of making sure that the house is clean and orderly all the time.

  • Never-ending restart

    My phone has begun to restart itself several times a day. It then continues into a seemingly never-ending cycle of turning off and on. The Apple symbol appears followed by a circular symbol and then it goes black and repeats the process. It has been like this for going on 3 hours now and I would love to clear all the data as I have seen suggested but I can't get that far. Please advise.

    Try an iPhone Reset by pressing/holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo then release. This can take up to 10 seconds and decline the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
    If this doesn't work and your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected to your computer, time to call AppleCare - (800) 694-7466.

  • The never ending Connecting to ISP mesage-but never happens

    For the last week I have had no problems with my Extreme base station which connects through Dial up and is extendeded by a Airport Express station to provide coverage to several of my families laptops. Today - I asked airport to connect like always (I dont have it configured for automatic dial) and while it began dialing like normal got stuck on the message connecting to ISP. Needless to say I have tried everything including resetting it, (which by the way is the only way I can stop the connecting to ISP message on Internet Connect) I have disconnected and turning every computer off as well as the express station and physically I reset the base station via paper clip and used the Airport assistant to set the base station up like new - but no dice. Everytime it dials (and I have actually picked up the phone to listen) it makes the call but when the message Connecting to ISP is displayed the phone goes silent and the computer is stuck displaying the scrolling message that it is connecting to the ISP. But NADA! Do you think my ISP or phone company changed something??? Could it be new firmare or airport software taking effect? Man if you have any ideas - please help.

    Well I got ahold of (AppleCare) - more specifically - Sean in Austin - a product specialist who took me through - tons of stuff annnnd - NADA - had to escalate it to engineering who probably won't be able to answer until Thursday. Interestingly we were able to hook up to a Apple Server without a problem but my ISP still gives the never ending "Connecting to ISP" message - later I called my ISP and they said if your able to connect the computer to there ISP but not the router - then it isnt there problem - its Apple.
    STUCK till Thursday without my EXTREME! REAK
