Upgrade and internet issues

I recently installed Arch 64 and have been having a couple of issues:
1.When I installed it I connected to the internet and tried "pacman -Syu" to upgrade my system. The download went fine( although a little slow) but when it came to the installation it spit out some junk about files already being in the filesystem and at the end something about errors occurring and no packages being upgraded. I can't even install my video drivers because it needs some files to be upgraded.
2.At first I had internet just fine but now it wouldn't connect. I have a PPPoE (username+password) connection. Also, when booting it says "eth0 timed out". I had another computer before this one. I had installed Arch 32 and had everything setup properly. But this time I need a 64 bit edition due to rendering purposes.
Any help is welcome. Thanks.
By the way, I have kind of mixed up shifts so I may not be able to answer you right away.

Thanks. The link worked. I managed to install my video drivers as a test but I somehow broke the system. I'm with a fresh installation but eth0 still times out when booting. I shutdown the Wake-On-LAN (I read it somewhere) but it still doesn't help. Since I can't connect to the internet I can't ping anything. Sorry.
This is my MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L - RTL8168C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
EDIT: I booted LinuxMint (32 bit edition) and the internet worked just fine. It's weird because they both use the rp-pppoe plug-in. Is it 64 bit related? Is it my MB related? Any assistance would be great.

Free talk and Internet issue.

Im signed up for the unlimited offer that gives you free calls and Internet and I topped up by 20 euro last night to continue my free calls and Internet for another month I received the text to tell me I have topped up but the 20 euro hasn't been taken out of my account and I haven't received confirmation. Now I'm a couple days early topping up but that hasn't really been an issue in the past. Can you let me know what's up, thanks.
Maria.

The 3rd of June was when the offer was renewed last but I had the 20 euro early to top up so I wanted to renew it early. I've been able to do it with all the offers I have had before.

Mountain Lion upgrade and Internet connection problems ?

Since I upgraded my Macbook Air, it does not want to connect to my home Internet network anymore. My Ipad, Iphone and tablet PC are all working fine, but to connect to the network I need to restart and even reset my router to be able to connect. Needless to say, I lose connection when it gets into sleep mode and when it is shut down. Anyone having the same problem or a solution ?

I'm having similar problems with a 2012 13" MacBook Air. It's brand new, came installed with Mountain Lion.
I get disconnected from the wireless randomly and the wireless icons turns gray. Like you, I have an iPad, multiple computers and they all work fine.
Instead of restarting the router, I go into Safari and do a network diagnostics and it picks up the connection easily enough.
No solution as of yet, but I posted a topic here if you want to follow it:

RE1000: 1. Firmware upgrade and strange issues. 2. WPS 'on' despite being clearly disabled

1. WPS shows 'on' in the RE1000's web status page even though it shows disabled in the wireless security page!
2. The unit seemed to be acting up multiple times ("attempting to connect" or whatever the exact message is) in the middle of both the firmware upgrade to 1.0.01 and the subsequent firmware downgrade to 1.0.00
Luckily it did NOT get bricked!
It also at times would just stop responding or redirect to to the erouter page, despite clearly being in the RE1000 web admin pages and clicking wireless survery links etc.!
Bizarre!
It may be that it needed rebooting / resetting, but it happened during the first upgrade.
3. It also said 'authentication / authorization failed' when I attempted to manually connect to my AP in the 'Site Survey' screen. However, when I then go to 'WLAN statistics' it shows Status: Associated anyway.
Bizarre!
Has anyone else seen any of this?

What is the make and the model number of your router? The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. If attempting to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router you will not achieve the desired performance because it is not optimized to extend standard 802.11G signals.
So if you are using n-technology router I suggest you to reconfigure the RE1000..
Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000

I am using Linksys's own E4200 which is their current top of the line consumer router (802.11n 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 450 MBps on 5 GHz).
Thanks for the suggestion, but my RE1000 has been configured perfectly since the beginning.
I also do not have WPS enabled (although the one screen says it is while the other setup screen clearly shows it is off) and other than the flashing light (and strange behavior / bugs), it works nicely as far as the actual intended functionality is concerned.
I had the same flashing light issue with my E4200 router, which Cisco finally acknowledged was an issue on their end (which I was convinced all along given how many others had the same exact issue) and which they fixed in the latest E4200 firmware (1.0.03) - see release notes.
I suspect the RE1000 has a similar code defect (bug) that happens under a specific set of circumstances (which explains why not all owners are affected).
Hopefully they will address it soon.

Hard drive and internet issues

My mother has had her IMac for 5 years now and has never done any updates, changes, cleanup, etc. to it. She is now trying to get on broadband internet and the computer will no longer startup without removing the extensions during startup. She has had problems in the past with her computer saying there wasn't enough hard drive space. What can I do to help clean up and clear up some hard drive space for her? And if this doesn't help the internet problems does anyone have any suggestions for that as well? Thanks
IMac CRT Mac OS 9.0.x

mdm29,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
It would help to get the best and relevant help to post back with the exact machine model and the size of the HD that your mother has.
You can go to the Apple System Profiler and see the Used and Available disk space on the machine.
Post back and let us know,
littleshoulders [:-)
PS. I am not using OS9 but I'm sure alot of OS9 users here will pop in and offer advice for cleaning up the HD on your mothers iMac. If you mother has to turn off extensions to startup...it sounds as if there is corrupted extensions that need dealing with but I am not sure that is what is happening....just a guess on my part.

SQL Server Express 2005 to 2014 upgrade and Uninstallation issues

We have client application running SQL Server Express that connects to a SQL Server 2012 server. We are attempting to upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express to Microsoft SQL Server 2014
express – but are having difficulties – especially with uninstall.
Our understanding is that we needed to follow the following steps:
    First we install Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP4 as required silently
Start /wait SQLEXPR.exe /qn ACTION=UPGRADE INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS" UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SAPWD=<password>
SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLPASSWORD= SECURITYMODE="SQL"
    Then try upgrading with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 express, we use following command to do it silently
SQLEXPR.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /ISSVCAccount="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
We see following
    In Control Panel -> Uninstall or change program, we have all the instances listed 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2014.
    How do we uninstall the instance? , We try uninstalling 2014
But it is not cleanly uninstalled.
Questions:
    Is there any way for clean upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2005 express SP3 to Microsoft SQL 2014 express?
    Is there any specific steps suggested to uninstall upgraded SQL 2014 express from system?
    Are we doing anything wrong in commands for silent upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
After you perform an in-place upgrade it’s normal to find the binaries and references of the old version of SQL Server on the Start Menu and Control Panel -> Programs and Features. That’s by design. After you have successfully upgraded an instance, you can
remove the old binaries.
IfIf you find some remnants after uninstalling SQL Server 2014, please perform the following steps to manually uninstall it:
1. Uninstall all SQL Server 2014 components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and
Features
2. Backup the registry.
3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
    --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete
all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing
SQL Server.
6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.
Hope this helps.

OS 10.2.1 upgrade and bluebooth issues

Since the recent upgrade the bluetooth connection to my car audio keeps falling out. Also when it reconnects the audio works but the data on the song, artist etc is not displayed on the car media screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

After upgrading to 10.2.1 and also upgrading Say It,I did experience some bluetooth problems. After removing the Say it app my BlueTooth connection started working properly. After about a week I reinstall Say It and my BlueTooth problem started immediately. I am currently operating my phone without Say It and my phone and bluetooth connections works great.
My wife and daughter have Z10s and my son has Z30. They do not use Say It and they have 10.2.1 There BlueTooth connections are working properly.

HPE430me graphics upgrade and cooling issues

Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion Elite 430me and wish to upgrade the installed Geforce 440 card to a Radeon 6870.
I have 4 questions:
1-Does the MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E) motherboard support PCIe 2.0 as it doesn't state it in the specifications page; it just says PCIe 16X? Bear in mind that it is an H57 based board.
2-Does the case allow space for the 10" graphics card?
3-Is the 460W PSU sufficient?
4-I live in Egypt and the temperatures here is quite hot during much of the year and the case only comes with a single 80mm fan; is overheating a possibility here considering that a Core i7 870 is also present? Is there any way to install another fan on this case?
Thanks
This question was solved.

AhmedHM wrote:
1-Pcie 2.0 is backward compatible. Therefore, it should work fine.
I know, but I don't want to bottleneck my system... I understand. Using a PCIe 2.0 card will not bottleneck your system.
2- I don't believe that this card will fit. I normally recommend staying under 9".
3-The HD Radeon 6870 requires a minimum of 500W.
Could you recommend a good card at this size and power limit? If you mean for a 500W PSU, I suggest upgrading to at least 550W if that is your plan. This will give you many more options for cards. I like Corsair and OCZ. Both of the PSU's in the links have 120mm fans. This will help with cooling the computer.
As for a card, this is more difficult. HP has their video cards made to their specs. Therefore, it is difficult to know which cards would perform better. However, I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. Here is a card that should perform to your needs. This is based on a nVidia chip. Also, here is a card based on an AMD/ATI chip. Both cards are double profile (cover two slots). This means that one of the PCIe x1 slots will be covered. It is always a good idea to read as many of the customer reviews as possible. They will give you the straight scoop without manufacturer hype.
4-The AMD/ATI cards come with their Catalyst Control Center. This software suite allows you to control the fan speed of the card.
I meant the case: is the single 80mm fan sufficient, and if not, can I add more fans? I understand. Controlling the fan on the video card will help the entire computer. The majority of heat can be generated by the card.
If you have more questions let me know.

RV082 Downloading files and internet issues

Hi all wondering if someone can help me before i finally give up.. I have an rv082 which i have recently installed in my work. Users on the network including myself cannot download anything off the internet with out it timing out and also streaming media stops after maybe 2 minutes..
Also we use skype and msn messenger for communicating with other people on the internet and we have been missing out conversations on this.
The router is on the latest firmware also
Can anyone help.
Thanks

You may need to adjust the MTU in the WAN settings of your router. I have found several instances where the MTU needed to be set to a lower value than 1500 (Auto) for stable internet connections. A simple and effective way to test the MTU can be found at the following link:
http://help.expedient.com/broadband/mtu_ping_test.shtml
When you have found the highest MTU that does not fragment packets, set that value in the router at Setup> WAN Connection Type> WAN 1.
Please reply and let us know if this helps.

1.1.4 upgrade and restore issue...

Phone working fine this AM. Came into work put phone in cradle and it indicated an upgrade is available. Well the exact same thing happened as happened with 1.1.3 upgrade. Phone crashed completely. Now attempting restore of phone and it is "stuck" at the "Preparing iPhone for restore..." dialogue box (now for the 4th time and for at least 20 minutes this time).
iTunes is the most current version as well as I have removed and reloaded iTunes twice now.
Normally iTunes works fine. Any suggestions as I really do not feel like or have the time to drive the 50 miles to my "local" Apple store?

I have almost exactly the same problem, although I get past the "prepare iPhone..." point and start the restore before I lock up. I did get a few hours use of the phone after the 1.1.4 upgrade (absolutely no problems with 1.1.3, I probably should have waited to upgrade) but after the 1.1.4 upgrade the iPod module was screwed up, not syncing many of my songs, show the wrong or blank album art in coverflow, and other glitches. Attempts to sync either failed with "Device Timed Out" (the iPhone would kill the connection in the middle of a sync) or finished without syncing (or sometimes removing) songs I had on the iPhone.
I tried to restore but am now locked in "Recovery Mode" each time I try to restore. I am trying to do this through iTunes on Windows at my office (the only machine I have always synced with, although I do have a Mac at home). Right now iTunes itself is frozen in the restore cycle and I think I will have to hard kill it to start again.

N91 WLAN (WiFi) and Bluetooth Issues.

Hi Everyone,
I am having some issues with my new N91. I recently had the firmware upgraded, and the issues have not improved at all. I'm hoping someone out there has faced and solved some similar issues, or perhaps that you can point me in the right direction towards finding a solution of my own.
WiFi (WLAN). Okay, the N91 comes with WiFi built in. I have been able to find networks, and browse the internet on my phone, in Infrastructure mode. It is pretty simple. The problem has to do with encryption.
On my home network, I use WPA encryption with TKIP. The N91 configuration screens give me the option of using WPA with TKIP, but the phone won't connect. I tried changing to WEP on my home network, and configuring the N91 to use that encryption instead, but it also did not work.
Since I use other computers on my network with WiFi, turning off encryption is not an option. I did test the phone and the router with encryption off, it connects.
The issue is, the N91 will only connect to un-encrypted networks. This is fine for free hotspots, but I want to sync with my home PC via WLAN, send email and use the phone via VOIP. I also need to connect to encrypted networks on the road.
Has anyone managed to connect to an encrypted network with an N91? Do you know what specific hardware you were connecting to, and what protocols you used?
The second issue is Bluetooth. I drive a 2006 BMW M3 with bluetooth support. My old phone (Sony t630) connected to the car via bluetooth flawlessly. It shared the phonebook with my car, and automatically diverts calls to the car when I'm driving. I can answer the phone via a button on my steering wheel, which automatically cuts out the radio and allows me to take calls while driving.
The Nokia "pairs" with my car. However, regardless of what I do, it will not share the phone book, nor will it transfer audio to my car's sound system. According to the Nokia documentation, the pairing process requires that a code be entered for the bluetooth device on the phone, and for the phone on the bluetooth device. I cannot set a code in my car (the bluetooth device), since that is not an option. I can set the code on the phone for my car, and the phone then reports "Pairing Complete". Setting a code on the car was not required for my trusty old Sony. Though the N91 claims "Pairing Complete" there does not appear to be any mechanism for activating the car handsfree via the phone, and the car does not automatically take a call if the phone rings while paired. (On the Sony, one can "Send Call" to a blue tooth device, if the device doesn't automatically take the call, or if the pairing takes place after the call has been initiated.)
Does anyone know of a work around to get the phone to pair for audio (I can live without the phone book). Does anyone know of a third party application that will fix the blue tooth on the Nokia to make it work more effectively with my car?
Any information that can be provided on either of these topics will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dan

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Starting with the bluetooth aspect of your question. I can't say for sure which profiles the Bluetooth on BMW supports (still researching). I can say that my Sony t630 supports all of the protocols you listed, though I can't say for certain about the "AG" aspects. It lists:
File Transfer
OBEX
Object Push Protocol
Handsfree
Headset
And several others that I don't think are relevant to this particular issue. As I said, my phone lists "Handsfree" not "Handsfree AG". I'm still trying to research what if any distinction exists there.
The important point is that the bluetooth on the BMW isn't wholly defective. It does work with at least one phone. The bluetooth on my N91 hasn't worked with the car, but I have no other hardware to test with. I don't think it is defective either. I believe they both function, I just need to figure out what needs to be done for them to play together.
I think there are two questions that I'd like to find answers to. Has anyone ever modified a bluetooth profile on an N91 (or other Nokia)? Is it possible to add bluetooth profiles that don't already exist on the phone?
As for the point I made about my N91 not connecting to encrypted networks. I am correct to assert that it does not connect to unencrypted networks, though syntactically I shouldn't say "The N91" since it implies too much.
Semantics aside, my N91 can't connect to encrypted networks so far. My research on this site (and others) indicates other users have faced the same issue, and none of those threads came to a resolution that I could find. Searching this site, and others, I had found no documented cases of an N91 functioning on an encrypted network. Since posting (on another site) I have found one user who has had success, but that user hasn't yet responded to my question of how exactly he pulled it off.
In the absense of any evidence explaining how to connect an N91 to an encrypted network, and the prevalence of people expressing difficulty with it; I think it is correct to say "The N91 will only connect with un-encrypted networks."
I'd really like to be wrong on that statement, since I own the phone and I want to connect to an encrypted network. However, I haven't been corrected yet. So, if you can point me to a thread or discussion explaining what settings were used to make a successful connection on an encrypted WLAN of any type, that would be great.
To anyone reading this or helping out, I really appreciate your time and attention. Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help with this question, or on any other topics.

In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.

I recently upgraded my internet service to be faster on myIMac tiger 10.4.11 and that lasted about a day. Now not only do I get TBBFH but even opening up let's say Face book it loads very slowly . It's not the BBFH but next to the facebook it's a circle o

Even when I am using Safari or Firefox the spinning wheel of lines especially for face book just keeps spinning and it takes forever to load my pages. It was faster than this before I upgraded my internet service. I Check the speeds and those are fine (using a internet speed test). I have emptied all of my caches, cleaned my Mac with (Clean My Mac), I've taken out all old files, pictures, cleared my widgits, and I don't know what else to do. Is there some configuration I need to address some where inmy preferences? Do Ihave to just live with it? I do want to upgrade to Snow Leopard but, I can't afford that at this moment. Any ideas please forward. Another issue I have is that my IMac will not accept a DVD+Rdl but will accept any and all other DVD' and CD's what could cause that?
Sincerely,

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan
