Very Frustrating AirTunes Issue

I have three Airport Express units on an Airport network, each with an assigned ip address. My wife's 1.8 GHz Intel iMac streams music flawlessly to all the AEx units, and her playlists play back without any hitches.
My 8-core 3.0 Ghz MacPro, OTOH, cannot play any music over this setup without frequent 2-4 second pauses. It is unlistenable.
My Mac Pro is much closer to the target AEx than the iMac, so it isn't a signal strength issue.
Does anyone have a similar problem, pr a suggestion for a fix?

Yup, I have the same thing going on as we speak. Very annoying, and I don't know what's causing it. At first I thought it might be some radar or other sweep by ships out to sea (I look out on the Pacific) as it was regular in intermission, but it seems to be going on for longer than a few days ago.
any ideas?

Very strange and very frustrating WiFI issue with U460 Ideapad.

I have been very happy with my U460 up until this point. A very good value I thought.
Problem:
Unit running well. One day my wife complains that the wifi is dropping on her. We reset the router and it seemingly went right back to normal operation.
This continued however, not more than 10 minutes later. I took a look at it and diagnosed it as a wifi router issue. I called my isp and they reccomended I started cycling the channels used on the router to avoid any interference. So I did that.
Absoulutely no improvement. About that time I brought other machines into the mix and they would have no issue at all while the u460 would drop the connection periodically.
So I called Lenovo and they had me remove some bloatware from the computer, I forget the name of the program. They also had me reinstall the drivers for the wifi. This did nothing, but I gave it a day or two to let it work itself out.
Next thing was to flash the hard drive completely. This did nothing. In fact, this made the situation somewhat worse for some reason, but it is hard to really quantify what is "worse". They then sent a box for me to return the machine.
Return 1: From all I can tell they just flashed the hard drive again and put it back in the box. The notes said they saw this issue I saw.
I almost immediately call them up again and they send me a RMR number to send the u460 back
Return 2: Replaced WIFI adaptor and flashed hard drive. Again they note on the RMR that they saw this issue.
This has had no improvement whatsoever.
Further debug steps:
I note that the closer I am to the router the longer the wifi will stay connected, but it will drop out eventually
Ethernet is totally ok. Bluetooth is OK
Seems to disconnect on other wifi access points other than my own.
I am worried to send this back again. I have a lot of consumer electronics experience as I work in support for a major technology firm. To me I have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on. I think the software is clean, and I can't even imagine what the hardware issue would be. From browsing this forum this problem is nearly completely unique except insofar as removing the bloatware which pertains to the wifi.
Any help would be appreciated before I call Lenovo again to send the machine back. The next option is just EBAY as a broken item to recoup some of the cost.

Very Frustrated Namespace Issues Again !

Ok, This is crazy, I have created a freakin schema with simple string element. I then import to project. I then change message type to use this schema. I then create my bpel stuff. I then verify the wsdl and continue to get a Qname error stating it can't find the element.
Validating C:\OraBPELPM_1\integration\jdev\jdev\mywork\PreQual_Workspace1\USPSII\USPSII.wsdl
Schema element not found: QName(http://www.tnsi.com/ReadFileIn/, BatchID)
Validate WSDL: has errors.
I have no idea how to use namespace, the namespace will never be valid anywhere but internal to this application. Can someone please refer or show me what you should use as a namespace (project location or ????)
It will compile and deploy fine, its just when I use SoapScope or something to check the syntax it barfs, or if I simply ask J-Dev to verify WSDL.

Is there an address I can send you the project file so you can see... basically I have created a schema file, imported it, defined the target namespace in the schema. Then I set the input message type to use the imported schema file element. Once I verify the wsdl the imported the schema is can never find the element. This is just one of many issues with the namespacing.
I tried to keep my namespace consistent across the application but now I am getting duplicate namespace issues.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

My Verizon wireless service at my house has begun to degrade over the last 6 Month. It has begun to be very frustrating seeing how we switched over from Satellite to Verizon 4GLTE wireless device. How do I contact someone to see what the issue may be. Z

My Verizon wireless service at my house has begun to degrade over the last 6 Month. It has begun to be very frustrating seeing how we switched over from Satellite to Verizon 4GLTE wireless device. How do I contact someone to see what the issue may be. Zip Code 22580.

Out of curiosity how much data per month are you using? Another factor could be if neighbors have all done the same thing as you and the node is being overloaded on home internet use.

Photoshop CC program error when opening or placing files. VERY FRUSTRATING PLEASE HELP.

I'm an advertising graduate student that relies heavily on Adobe programs for my multiple simultaneous projects throughout the school year, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, Edge Animate and Premiere Pro.
I'm using a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.
I have been experiencing an incredibly frustrating issue with Photoshop and Muse, both CC 2014. I'll speak about Photoshop in this thread since, well, this is a Photoshop forum. This has been happening for almost a year now. I figured Adobe would've fixed this problem by now, especially given the myriad of crash reports I send.
While working in Photoshop, sometimes when I go to place a file I get an error message that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It used to be that this error was fatal and I would have no other choice but to force quit out of Photoshop and restart it. We all know how incredibly time-consuming it is for Photoshop to open (especially 10-15 times in one sitting), and being in grad school, time is not something I have a lot of when I have deadlines and projects due.
This error is still happening and for the same reasons; however, now I can still continue to work on my file, as long as I don't need to open a document or place an image...which doesn't help very much because I'm doing a lot of mockups and composites and need those functionalities. It happens probably 90% of the time when I try to place or open a document.
For the record, it's a similar issue that's causing Muse to crash as well. When I try to add an image file, it causes the entire program to crash "unexpectedly," as Muse so eloquently puts it.
Until recently I had kept CS6 on my hard drive and would dig it out to use in place of CC when PSCC would crash; however, someone told me that having both versions was likely the cause for the crashes. After much hesitation, I finally uninstalled all of CS6 from my hard drive the other day (the right way, not into the trash can, since someone is inevitably going to ask that question) and I'm still having this problem, and now I don't have my CS6 version to fall back on and now I'm in a really bad spot.
I apologize for all the rambling, but I'm really very, very frustrated with this error, and I had to do something while waiting for Photoshop to restart. Someone please help.

MacOS 10.10? Yeah, Apple is working on that bug. They already fixed the crash in the open/save dialogs, but have a few more problems to address with the open/save dialogs.

Both Mail and Safari have Activity Options that open a screen that shows you just how the site or mail is loading.
In Safari if you are having trouble with a site in activity you will see the count of items being downloaded - and if an error occurs it shows red.
On the top is the number of items it is loading or trying to load and the count should be increasing. If the count stops, and you don't have errors it may be that too many people are going after the same site and your request just timed out. Have had the time out on a news site when trying to load a most popular article.

Apple TV (2nd gen) - Very Specific Buffering Issue

I have been watching the threads regularly for a situation similar to mine but I can't see one so I am starting a new one.
I have Four (4) Apple TVs in the house and a large library of movies, TV shows and personal movies loaded into iTunes on a Window 7 64 bit system with an Intel i7 processor, 12 GB of memory and 2TB of disk space. Everything seemed to work OK until I got the third Apple TV but that was a year ago and several software upgrades in the past.
My problem is that when all four (4) Apple TVs are plugged into power, even if the ones I am not using are asleep, I have horrible buffering delays when watching vidoes from iTunes on the Windows PC. I do not have any trouble streaming video from Netflix or the iTunes store directly. When the Apple TV stops to fill buffers it seems to lock up trying and never comes back (I have waited up to 30 minutes). However, if I exit out of the movie as soon as the buffering issue starts, and go back into the video where I left off - it starts playing again within 3 seconds and will carry on for another random period of time in the range of 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
Before anyone starts responding with the basic stock suggestions, I am a retired IT guy who has put a lot of time and technical effort into trying to find the root cause of this problem. I am very familiar with networking, Windows 7, firewalls, etc.
The work around is that when I want to watch videos from iTunes on my Windows PC I have to unplug the other three Apple TVs, restart my router and reboot my Windows PC. These three steps together work consistently but omitting any one step may or may not improve the situation. This means that I can't just decide to watch a video from iTunes without 10 minutes of advance prep work - and watching two different videos on two different Apple TVs at the same time only works about 30% of the time.
Here is some more background information:
I have two (2) iPhones, one (1) iPad, another Windows 7 64 bit PC, a MacBook Air, and stand alone Internet radio on my network. The problem persists even when all the other devices have been powered off.
All devices, including the Apple TVs, are running the most current version of software and have ALL patches installed.
I have upgraded my router (twice) and now have an ASUS RT-N56U dual band router with the Windows PCs both cable connected and the Apple TVs and all the other stuff running wireless.
I have used netstumbler to detect other networks and have tried various different channels on the router. I am in a low density area and only see two other neighbours with wireless networks.
I have a 20 MB Internet service connection via cable modem and have no problems watching videos on the Apple TVs from the Internet
I have relocated the router away from any other elecrical equipment (Apple TVs all show a full strength signal)
I have tried disabling my MacAfee Security Center virus and personal firewall software (the problem persists), then removing it entirely (the problem persists), then reinstalling only the virus protection component and enabling Windows Firewall (the problem persists).
I have removed all software from the Windows computer that brand name commercial software - I use Microsoft Office 2010 and Google Chrome as my browser (the problem persists).
Important - I have moved the complete iTunes library to a 2TB USB hard drive and run iTunes on my MacBook Air with the Windows PCs turned off (the problem persists).
There is one issue that seems relevant, but might just be a bug in the router management interface. I have set up reserved DHCP addresses for the Apple TVs and the computers to make it easier to identify devices when I am troubleshooting. The DHCP log shows the correct IP addresses being assigned to the correct MAC addresses but the network map screen frequently displays two or more Apple TVs with duplicate MAC addresses. It only happens with the Apple TVs and has never happened with anything else. This is what gave me the idea to turn off all Apple TVs except the one I want to watch and reset the router to clear the other addresses - which seems to be the only consistent way to watch an iTunes video without buffering problems.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have invested a lot of time and money in Apple technologies and setting up this home video strategy. It's very frustrating that it doesn't work reliably.
Thanks
Bob T

I too am having this issue were two of my Apple TVs are showing duplicate MAC Addresses. I have varrified this by looking at the arp -a cache on multiple machines. I believe this is a major bug in the Apple TV software. Can we please get a fix.

Very odd Airport issue airport has a mind of its own...

Ok so hopefully I have gotten your attention. As of 3 days ago my Macbook Pro (which has always connected to the internet through my Airport Extreme with the signal boosted by an Airport Express) so I am online reading email when I attempt to open a new page and my internet dies. I look at my other computer (Macbook not pro) sitting next to me and it is connected to the network just fine. So I go to connect to the internet again and I can see my network and yet every time I try to connect I get a message saying "error couldnt connect" or something similar to that. Then I went to make sure my settings werent changed and they weren't. So I ran a diagnostic to make sure that nothing was wrong settings-wise. And when I get to the step where I need to choose the network I want to connect to it asks for my password (been using same one for years) and I input it and it tells me the password is incorrect. Then I try it again, and again im told the password is incorrect, no caps are on im spelling it right, basically I am faultless. Then after a number of restarts and frustrated hours, out of nowhere it connects again.
So then two nights ago I am online I pick up my laptop from my bed and walk to the room next door and start to use my computer in the next room to show a friend something. I walk back into my room with the laptop and 8 minutes later the same internet issue occurs again. I try everything, the password isnt accepted anymore and then a couple of hours later it works.
So then tonight I am writing a paper and the same stupid thing happens again. This time after 3 restarts I get back online but it is still very very frustrating and I have no clue what is wrong
If anyone has any advice PLEASE im all ears

Welcome to the discussions!
The fact that things improved a bit with Interference Robustness is probably a major clue that you are experiencing wireless interference issues at your new location.
The most common cause of interference problems in a home are cordless phones, which typically operate at the same frequency as wireless networks. You need to power off the phones and their base stations / cradles for a few hours to see if you notice any improvement in the performance of your wireless network. If you do, you need to try different positions for the phones.
Please post back on your findings to take the next possible steps in identifying the probable interference issue there.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Usbs not working very frustrating please help

My usbs have all stopped working for no reason just after i did my last windows update even with a roll back it still says this error in the picture very frustrating i updated bios on my motherboard and downloaded usb drives but still did not fix the issue
please help it says unknown usb device(device descriptor failed)whn i plug hard drives in the usb has power but it wont show up on my pc also happens with my keyboard and mouse even after driver re installs please help.

Hi,
For this issue,please let us know the error code.
Meanwhile, I suggest we disable and re-enable the USB controller to check the result.
This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
1.Press Win+X，and select Device Manager.
2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
3.Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
4.Repeat step 3 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5.Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
6.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
