  • Ipod Problem, not sure how to phrase.

    Yesterday, after I uploaded a song onto my Ipod, it was doing okay.. I play the song on my Ipod an hour later and it completely froze. I let the power on it go to zero then recharged it. Next day, I use it, seemed okay today... *holds down pause button to turn it off*, nothing happened. I then used the menu "sleep" button and that didn't work either. I restarted my Ipod and charged my Ipod... Later, I turned it on when it was fully charged, The song works, the sleep button works.. but what screen does the sleep button take me to? "Full Charged (battery under it). What should I do? Would deleting the song I uploaded onto my Ipod be the solution?
    Not Sure   Windows Vista  

    Ok let me rephrase. This is how it went.
    1. Ipod (Video) Froze
    What I did: Waited for power to die off then recharged
    2. Ipod wouldn't sleep.
    What I did: Restarted Ipod (Hold Select + Menu)
    3. Ipod would sleep, but in sleep mode, this is up:
    http://www.apple.com.pl/support/ipod101/anatomy/3/index_files/anatomy03-1.jpg
    But instead of saying "Charging" it just said "Charged". This is currently what is with my ipod, the ipod thinks that it is hooked up to a power supply when it is not.
    My problem is that I cannot make the "Charged" screen go away.

  • Tar problem - Not sure where to ask

    This is my post in this forum & I'm not sure where to post this.
    I have just installed Arch in my office system 2 days ago. I was extracting tomcat 5.0.28 official tar.gz in my arch system and it gave this error:
    tar: A lone zero block at 82109
    The tar version in my system is
    tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
    I extracted the same archive in our server where the tar version is:
    tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
    and it gave no error
    The error/not error is same with either -x or -t flag.
    Is it a bug in the new version of tar (I think so, arch should have nothing special about it).
    What should I do can anybody suggest?

    Yes the size does match, so I think the content may be OK.
    Last time I found the directory size mismatch using du -s
    but I guess its because the two directory was in two different fs
    in server it was xfs, in my home it was ext3.
    By the way is there any way to verfiy equivalency of two directories. I know
    of md5sum but that works file by file.
    Thanks.

  • Works for webrowsing, not for gaming... weird connection problems.

    So back in November my wife and I were planning on moving but unfortunately the job didn't pan out and we ended up staying where we are now. I had canceled my Comcast cable internet starting Dec1st so I wouldn't get billed for the 12 days we intended to be in the state. At the time, I had my cable modem plugged into my Airport Extreme basestation (about 2 years old, but still the wireless G model) which serviced my iMac G4, iBook, XBox and Nintendo DS with an excellent connection pretty much all the time.
    I recently got Comcast back again since we'll be staying where we're at for a couple more months at least, but now my network is acting funny. While plugged directly into the cable modem, my computers and XBox function perfectly. But when I attempted to set up my wireless connection again, it didn't work quite the same way again. My iMac and iBook can connect for webbrowsing and chatting on AIM/MSN although I occasionally get drops (never really happened before). My XBox won't connect wirelessly at ALL anymore. My DS will connect, but instead of getting normal "slow internet connection" lag, I get pauses. For instance, I'd play smoothly for a few seconds, and then the game would freeze, then play pretty smoothly again, then freeze again. This game forces a split host, so both players get the same lag to attempt to make the game as even as possible. But my friends who play don't have the same problem facing each other, only against me.
    I've watched the LED's on the front of my basestation AND my cable modem while surfing the web, using AIM and (attempting) to play my DS. The center and right lights stay active the entire time, but the left light is almost always off. It merely flashes for a few seconds here and there and then cuts out. In fact, during the times my DS game worked smoothly, it was flashing, when it stopped flashing the game froze. Also, on the cable modem, MOST of the time while connected to my basestation the SEND light is not active, but all the others are. Again, it flashes for a few seconds here and there and then cuts out.
    This modem is a different one than I had before when I had comcast. They updated the modems used in this area, so my guess so far has been that somehow the Airport basestation doesn't query the modem enough to keep the connection active. That would also explain why when I haven't been using the internet and then start to, it takes 2 or 3 tries to get a page to load. Once that happens things work pretty smoothly, albiet slower than it did the first time I had comcast/AE network setup. Also, occasionally I get an error message when trying to join the network (right after boot-up or after an error or drop) that says there was an error joining the network, and then I have to wait a little while before my iMac will even see the network again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for getting my basestation to work for my gaming systems? Or to get the network to be more stable for websurfing/chatting. I never changed any settings on my basestation from the time I had it before, in fact, it never even moved. I don't want to go buy another wireless router if it's a communication problem that can be fixed some other way. Someone please help me out. Thanks a bunch~!

    First welcome to the discussions.
    You mention a couple of times when you had Comcast.
    If you changed service to DSL it will be slower by 1/2.
    Unless I am mistaken the left light is power and the middle is ethernet and the right is activity.
    It sounds like you may be loosing your connection intermident. I would not chang e any settings at all on your computers and leave evrything plugged in.
    I would however check and make sure that all your cables are in tight. then I would do a complete system reset.
    This method is recommended by all the Router Manufactures with a little different twist added by me.
    Pull the Power Adapter from your ISP's Modem. and do the same with your Router.
    Wait for at least 5 minutes and plug in the Power Adapter to the MODEM First and you have to wait until you get all the lights normally 3 after that plug in the power adapter to your ROUTER and again you have to wait until it reacquires the signal and lights,I would restart your computer and give it a whirl.
    It can't hurt to unplug every thing that you have plugged in Printer, scanner x box anything that could affect it untill you have a good signal again and after you are good then you can plug everything back in.
    Cheers Don

  • E1200 weird connection problem

    Recently I got a brand new E1200 from the Cisco store to replace Apple Extreme Base station for my home wireless network. The router deployed just fine except one weird problem. While all devices (desktops, laptops, cell phones, iPad) can access the router, one desktop (Dell Optiplex DX280)  cannot see the router at all. The router network, even with default SSID, does not even show in the wireless network list, no matter how many times the list is refreshed. The wireless adapter (Dell TrueMobile 1800 USB2.0) is fine, since it picks up the router SSID when connected to another desktop. The stubborn desktop works just fine with previous Apple router and can see many networks around, like neighbors' networks.  Thinking that some other previously installed software interferes with seeing the router SSID, I completely wiped and reformatted HD and reinstalled fresh copy of WinXP - still the same result, the dektop works just fine with the Apple router, but still cannot see E1200 SSID. The router was reset to factory defaults and all access restrictions were removed. While all the devices see the default SSID and can conncet to the router with no problems, the stubborn desktop keepcompletely ignoring it. Any ideas what may be the problem?

    It is SP3, and there was no error message. SSID just was not showing up in list of available networks on Optiplex desktop. As I found later, just by chance in contrast to getiing answer straight from Dell, it was a driver issue. Optiplex desktop was equipped with older driver, 1.5.0.1 or so, a while ago because this is what was recommended (and continues to be recommended!) at Dell's site for the supplied service tag. It was working just fine with Apple router. On the other hand, the Compaq desktop, which was picking up routher's SSID normally with the same USB adaptor, somehow had loaded a newer version, 3.3 something, from the internet. When the older  driver was installed from the Dell website, Compaq lost all wireless capabilities. So when I just upgraded driver from within WinXP Device Manager, the newer version was installed and the missing SSID has immediately shown up in Optiplex' wireless network list. I wish that Dell suooprt and site was better organized, but it is as bad as jungle and Tech Support asks a lot of irrelevant questions wasting their and my time and getting nowhere.

  • Weird connection problem--baffled

    I have a 3 year old Airport connected with a 3 year old MacBook Pro, a 4 year old iMac, a new Kindle Fire and a friend's PC. Everything worked beautifully. Two days ago there was an internet outage due to a fire at one of the provider's facilities. Power was restore later that day. My connection to the 2 Apple computers returned, but I am not able to successfully connect to the Kindle or the PC. I have gone over the Airport settings several times, and the the network password is enabled for all devices on my Keychain.  The Kindle rejects the password (at least tells me to check it) and the PC says No Connectivity. I don't have a clue why this is happening or what to do about it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

    At this point, it may be best to both perform a "factory default" reset of the AirPort and a full power recycle of all of your networking equipment to get all of your network clients working again.
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Ipod connection problem, not seen by comp. HELLLLLPPPP

    After choosing to restore my ipod the message 'itunes needs to prepare your ipod for recovery. Please leave your ipod connected'. I click continue. It prepares ipod for recovery, before saying 'waiting for ipod' even though its connected, it then repeats the same message, 'itunes needs to prepare your ipod for recovery. Please leave your ipod connected'. And the cycle repeats. I've tried this in all 4 USB ports of my laptop, which dont have problems with any other device and none of them work. This problem has happened before and fixed itself after 3-4 weeks out of the blue. I dont want to have to wait for this long again before updating my ipod.
    Anything that can help would be great, its so frustrating!!!!

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    Pay attention to the last part of this article and replace the USB Driver for your computer (with the iPod not connected).
    In Device Manager, right click on your iPod, select Disk Management, and format it (FAT32, not a quick format) and while you are there give it a higher drive assignement such as M, or P or Z.
    If iTunes now sees it, Restore your iPod and then fully charge it.
    You can only use Firewire for charging.

  • Really weird connection problem

    Hi, I'm having a really strange problem here - at least I think so. Recently one of my roommates bought a new wireless adapter (802.11g), which I would really like to use as it's faster than my old Airport Snow basestation (802.11b). I'm using a Powerbook G4 with an Airport Extreme card running OS X 10.4.7. Here's the actual issue: Whenever I try to connect to my roommates network my PB tells me everything's fine. I get full signal strength in the menu bar and Iternet Connect tells me that I#m connected to the network. When I try to use mail or a webbrowser, however, it doesn#t work. Mail tells me I#m not online and Safari comes up with an error message: #You are not connected to the internet.'
    I know my Airport card works as I can use my own slower network. In addition, my roommates network also works as he has no problems using it. I should probably mention that he's using a PC notebook (Dell). If that works a Mac should too. Any ideas what's going on? What should/could I do? Do I have to change any settings/preferences? I know PCs give you a million things to change in order to go online.
    Thx a lot for your help.

    You may need to look into the System Preferences> Network control pane
    and see what the configuration(s) are; the order of preference to use
    dialup, ethernet, and airport/wireless. Also you may need to see how the
    network controls "see" your local wireless connection once you select to
    have the AirPort at the top of the list and set to connect via airport; plus
    with the Airport icon set to appear in the menubar.
    The "Network Port Configurations" is where you can see and checkbox
    some of these items, and for others you'd need to look a little further and
    wider. I seldom look into mine, even though I run between wireless and
    ethernet and sometimes have dialup, airport and ethernet all active in this.
    But only use one at a time, and primarily am using one means of connecting
    to the internet active at once; chosing to uncheck boxes and/or drag the
    order of them accordingly in the configuration panel.

  • Weird connection problem

    I am using wifi with my mac. But every now and then when I am browsing the internet, the pages won't load. It will still say that there is a good connection on the screen, but again the pages won't load, or sometimes take a very very long time to load.
    However, I figured out that if I close my macbook and then reopen it, the pages load up and the connection works again.
    What is the problem here?

    Well I am using a Verizon DSL router/modem, Westell 7500.
    I have a home desktop computer that is connected to it through an ethernet cable. Everything works fine for that computer. My macbook pro is connected wirelessly.
    I usually use Google Chrome, but the same thing happens on any browser.

  • Focus problems, not sure how to make focus work correctly

    I have a number of dialog boxes and wizards, and just before I call show I request focus for the component I want to be displayed, but nothing happens. I think the show method it JDialog is setting the focus, and that this is the problem.
    I want behavior to work as expected ie.focus to start at top left component and work its way down. Instead it seems to be giving fucos in the order the components were added, or soething like that. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? I have many widgets which add components in the superclass, so this could cause me problems.
    I do not want to create a focus manager, but if worse comes to worse, I will - this is a problem that is unacceptable to the client.
    Any suggestions or comments?
    btw I am using 1.3.1 and win2k for the OS.

  • Font problems, not sure how to deal with

    Hi,
    I recently opened an archived final cut pro project and suddenly all of the Livetype files couldn't be rendered because a font was missing.
    This seems to be happening slowly as the project before that suddenly stopped using one of the fonts I had installed ( I ignored it figuring that it might possibly be a license that had gone out).
    At any rate, I posted this in Livetype forum but hadn't received an answer yet. I just went in to font book and I have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle with a warning below that says:
    'Multiple copies of this font are installed. You can use the Resolve Duplicates Command to automatically deactivate the copies not in use.'
    Does this have anything to do with my problem?
    No one seems to be able to answer so far and this is costing me money by the minute.
    Thanks

    Christopher --
    If you have two (or more) of the same font enabled, yes, it could very well cause your problem.
    Do you see the two fonts?
    Open them up with the triangle, and look closely at the properties. (date,etc)
    If you hover your cursor over each font, you will see more information).
    Then click "Resolve duplicates" and try again.

  • Ipod 4gb connection problems, not normal situation

    An ipod i acquired from a friend had fallen and the screen broke. For a few hours the ipod worked despite the screen being broken. Then it suddenly turned off and no longer played. When it was connected to a computer it did not respond. I open the ipod to try and figure out what had went wrong since the warranty was over. I noticed some discoloration in the pins that connected the flash memory to the board. I also noticed a scratch over those pins. I put some tin foil over it and connected it to the computer and the ipod was read but was not able to reformat or be mounted as a usb drive. This process as stopped working after a while and now can't even be recognized. I require some help as I dont want to lose this ipod because it can still be used a 4gb usb drive. Thank You in advanced.

    I did look at your pictures. If you think you didn't connect it properly, compare it to the pictures on ifixit. Past that, send it to a professional to fix it, they aren't going to come here and diagnose it from your pictures and tell you how to fix it. If you were such a techy you'd already know anyway.
    If you are Restoring it and it continually responds with a message that it is corrupt, read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499

  • HT4814 Weird connection problems on clean mountain lion installation.

    When I first installed Server, I wanted to see if it would work before going through all the effort to prepare my other mac.  So I ran it locally.
    Now my other mac is all ready to go, but Server.app, simply would not log on to the other mac, even though I could get to it with the same credentials over ssh (both the <sillyname>.local and the FQDN).  After a few tries with that, it doesn't even give me the opportunity to choose another machine, it just says "Continue" or "Quit."
    So, is there any fix for such a predicament?  I can still activate the "connect to another mac" menu, but, for some reason, it will not accept the password that works everywhere else and that I set on that mac.  I'm not convinced that it's even trying.
    Disc sharing also seems not to be working.  It's a clean installation of Mountain Lion, over there.  If I ask to share the dvd drive, the other computer offers a dialogue, and, after I approve the request, nothing happens - my new mac just waits and waits.
    Edit - even if I enable remote management, for everyone, with no password, on the other mac, my rMBP won't connect: not with FQDN, not with <silly>.local, and not with IP address.  What is going on?
    Yikes!
    Advice appreciated.

    What are you formatting it as? MAC OS Extended (Journaled)? This is the only format you will be able to install ML on.
    Why didn't you just uninstall the beta of CS6? The full version is out. and the Betas are discontinued, I believe, making it impossible to fully use.
    I have had CS6 running now for over 48 hours, saving animated gifs, Jpg's, raw's, tiffs, so on in PS, AI and Flash and they all save just fine. Everything in CS6 has surprisingly been unbuggy and the recovery options it has (when your computer crashes) is so worth the update!
    There might be an issue with your license? How much more time do you have with your trial period?
    in either case, this issue does not warrant a clean install. you should have first attempted a reinstall. Once you migrate your system back from a clean install you essentially didn't do anything but bring back any issue you were having before.
    A reinstall seems to fix my issues if I had any in Lion.
