V240 ALOM resets every time it requests an IP address through DHCP

I'm encountering an issue with an ALOM configured to DHCP. Every time it requests an IP address (tracked by watching messages on the DHCP server, which is running Red Hat EL4 update 4), the ALOM resets. All the POSTs pass. If it's configured for a static IP, it stops resetting, but immediately begins doing it again if switched back. I've encountered this with two different ALOMs on different V240s, so I'm guessing it's not hardware, but it hasn't happened 100% of the time either (it seems to DHCP fine most of the time, then it will get into this state and stay there).
Here's output from the reset grabbed from the serial console:

Look in XP control panel/device manager. Check Network Adapters, is there a yellow tick on the Nvidia nForce Networking Controller?
Click on nVidia and select the Driver tab. My Driver Provider is NVIDIA, Driver Date: 4/6/2005, Driver Version: 4.8.2.0 and it is Digitally Signed. The Nvidia driver file version is 1.00.00.0482. Mine works fine.
Have you tried the Marvell Yukon NIC? That should work.

HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

Hi Cyprus11,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

My iPad does not recognize my Apple ID. I have reset several times (as requested) it's stated that its successful, and then does not work..I cannot access anything!!!!

My iPad does not recognize my Apple ID. I have completed a reset several times (as requested).
The re-set is shown as successful but then doesn't work..I'm locked out of everything!!!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

HT4859 What do I do every time I tap "Back up Now" (through iCloud) it always says "The last backup could not be complete". My iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I still have available 11GB storage from 15GB total storage from iCloud.

What do I do every time I tap "Back up Now" (through iCloud) it always says "The last backup could not be completed". My iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I still have available 11GB storage from 15GB total storage from iCloud.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a new iPad, my iCloud account is set up and verified (I wouldn't be logged in and writing this otherwise), auto backups are turned on, but it's never completed a backup. If I manually select 'Backup Now' in iCloud Settings, it times out while estimating time remaining. Strangely, today my iCloud free storage space went from 5G to 4.9G then back to 5G. Annoyingly, I'm now getting reminders that I've never backed it up! The iCloud help I followed from the forum didn't cover this error message.

How do I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?

How can I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?
On our 4.5 - IIS system, we can acces it using the Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr") in the ASP pages.
We are deploying 5.0 on Java Portal and would like to be able to do this through the Portal's API so I can call it in one of our custom login Activity space or control etc.
I have looked documentation for the HTTPServletRequest object. It seems like we should be able to access it through one of the methods getRemoteAddr if we can get a handle to HTTPServletRequest object through the Plumtree's framework.
I think the XPRequest object encapsulates the HTTPServletRequest but I didn't see getRemoteAddr method listed in the Javadocs.
Is there a way to access the client's IP address through the Plumtree's framework?
I need to do this so we know the location of the user and in our business case we have fixed IP adresss which let us identify which location is user accessign the system from. We can't do this through preferences or profile because we have to use generic userid for the specifc group of users.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Vanita

Hi, Vanita. For now, you can use
stringsClientIP = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"].ToString();
Hope that helps!

Air application throws security alert every time 'HTTPS' request made to server.

Have a look at the following screenshot.
On click of next button, application internally sends an https request. Appliction throws Security Alert dialog. The text can also be seen clearly.
Strange thing about this alert dialog is that, it appears every time when application send a request in given session.
If I run the same thing in flex (i.e. in browser), it asks for SSL handshake and that is also only once. So why it is happening here in case of Air.

Prithvee Zankat.

Back up all data. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Reset Safari...
Check these boxes:
Clear history
Remove all website data
Uncheck all other boxes. Press return. Test.
If Safari crashes immediately on launch and you can't do as above, hold down the shift key and launch it by clicking its icon in the Dock, then try. Failing that, ask for guidance.

IPod won't appear in iTunes or Desktop until I reset every time

Hi All. Sorry if this has been covered. I read the article on this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950), but it didn't help.
My problem:
I have the 30gb 5th-gen iPod and an Intel 1.83 Mac mini (10.4.8). Recently, every time I plug in the iPod, the computer refuses to mount it. The iPod screen displays the "Do not disconnect" message, but the computer and iTunes don't see it. If I perform a soft reset (middle button + Menu) the computer will then recognize the iPod, but I have to do this every time!
I looked at and tried the suggestions in the Apple support document listed above, but none of them resolve the issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin

I have a similar problem well its more serious though -- I accidentally unplugged my 80 GB video iPod prematurely from my Intel based Mac Mini without ejecting it in iTunes and now the iPod is stuck on the Do Not Disconnect screen even after it was unplugged -- plugging it back in does not help any.
I have tried restarting my Mac Mini with it plugged in does not help at all -- tried pressing the hold switch back and forth on my iPod a 5th generation video version nothing -- iPod does not appear on my Mac Desktop, any Finder windows nor does it appear in Disk Utility or iTunes.

Must reset every time to eject

We have a 3rd Gen Nano and 4th Gen and neither one will eject properly. Most times they will appear to be disconnecting, then half way thru ejection the Nano screen reverts back to 'connected' and iTunes will indicate that another application is using a file. I have to reset them *every time* in order to eject them properly. Ejecting from Windows does not work either.
The 3rd gen is just over 2 yrs old and the 4th gen is under 1 year. Problem happens with the XP machine and with Vista 64-bit on a new laptop. While this works, I can't imagine it is good for the iPods. Comments, suggestions?

Time Capsule needs to be reset every time I print wirelessly or watch Apple TV

Hello all!
My Time Capsule keeps dropping my wireless printer and Apple TV. Every time I want to stream a movie to my Apple TV it needs to be reset, and everytime I want to print wirelessly it needs to be reset. However, my internet connection remains constant and never has any interuptions.
Please help, it's getting really annoying to run upstairs to reset the time capsule every time I wanna watch a movie.
Thanks

It is reported here all the time that the TC needs daily reboots.. you are highly fortunate that it is only weekly..
The fact is the old TC using 7.5 firmware was probably hugely more reliable than the current one which is not able to be flashed back beyond 7.6. There is a bug.. and as yet no Apple confession of issues.
But most people can get away without a reboot.. you just need to disconnect all users.. which was an option in the v5 utility.. now left out of v6.
Strongly recommend you install v5 utility.
(Or get electrical timer to restart the TC on a nightly basis).
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
Most common message in history of the TC.. something has failed to unmount.. Lion and esp. Mountain Lion are affected.
Simple way.. reboot the TC to lose the connections..
Might take a network reboot.
But from 5.6 utility you can disconnnect all users.

Input level resets every time using FaceTime

Hi.
I recently added a webcam to my Mac Mini to use with FaceTime. (It's an IceCam 2). Works fine for my needs, except every time I connect with Facetime, the input level gets reset to 0. I'm able to change it back via system preferences, but is there some reason that it would be doing this? I assume it's when Facetime takes control over the mice input.
Two devices are listed under input, Line In, and the USB Ice Cam. Is there any way to get the input level to stick?
Thanks!

To clarify: I'm using Windows 7 on an HP Pavillion m7 notebook.

IPhone 3G resets every time when plugged into computer through a hub

Every time I plug my iPhone 3G into my computer through my powered USB hub, it resets. Bear in mind, I have been using this hub to charge my phone with for over a year without problem. Since the recent software update, I have seen this issue as well as a dramatic decrease in overall battery life and responsiveness. The biggest issue here, however, is the constant resetting.
If kept plugged in, the phone will remain on the apple logo until I disconnect it. Give it a minute, and it is back up, but as soon as I need to charge it or sync it, it resets again.

Greetings,
You are going to get your best charge using the charger that came with the phone, and the next best solution is to use a USB port directly on your computer, as long as it is USB 2.0. If you lost the original charger, buy a new one - they are cheap. It sounds like your USB hub may be out of sorts, as I have seen iPhones reboot plugging them in to a faulty hub, where it seems to work for most things but not all. Sometimes there isn't enough power to go around - the power source for the hub may be on the blink.
The recent software update won't cause your phone to discharge faster - you have a rogue app, or the phone is way out of sync with the meter. You could have a third party app that worked well before the update, but it doesn't now - that's the way it is with some third party apps, check for an update for your apps. Third party apps are the most likely to cause issues - be very careful with 3rd party apps. If one seems to be acting odd, check for an update.
That's what the update was all about, making the meter and battery work more accurately with each other, but you may need to calibrate it. I have had several people, locally do this and it has worked perfectly. You should recalibrate every couple of months. I do mine every two months.
Cheers,
M.

Need to reset every time I turn iPod on

For the past day every time my standard 20GB click-wheel iPod has turned off, both from me manually doing it and inactivity, I need to reset it to get it to come back to life (that is, hold the menu and select buttons). It's almost as if it is freezing every time it is off. Has anyone else come across this problem before and would be able to assist me in this matter? It's pretty frustrating. Thanks very much.

After restoring from backup, iPad hangs after sliding to unlock-I have to reset every time to get it to work--Any fix?

I have a first generation iPad.
After having crashing issues I restored from backup.
Since restore, whenever I slide to unlock, it hangs for few minutes. Then I get a pictrue of the spinning circle but is doesn't spin---just hangs there--frozen.
I have to reset the iPad to get it to function every time (holding down the home button/on-off button).
Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

Seems to have something to do with the passcode. I turned the passcode off and now there are no issues.
