Weird SSID problem with my BEFW11S4.

I've been using my router for a good two or three years already and it's not had any problems at all until today. While I was at work, something happened to my network and all the laptops on my home network disconnected and couldn't rediscover it anymore. I tried to reconnect but found that the SSID wasn't the same as in my setup page.
One letter in the SSID was different from my original SSID, specifically the third letter. For example, my network was named 'hoob' but the laptops recognized it as 'honb' so I changed it to 'rhymenoceros' but the computers again recognized it as 'rhxmenoceros.' I tried changing the names again, tried changing the channels it broadcast on, and I reset the router and restored factoring settings.
Nothing else I've tried has worked. The computer that's directly connected the router works fine, but the wireless are not connecting at all. Could the router be on the verge of dying? Is there somethin going on with the antennas and something in it's gone bad? I'm not sure what else it could be, so short of running out and buying a new router, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has had this problem before or has heard of it. I searched the net for anything resembling my problem but haven't had any luck..so thanks for any help all.

Reset the router by holding the reset button .... disable all firewall & antivirus software ....
Again try to reconfigure the router ....
See if it works ...

Weird display problem with iMac 24"

Hi guys, I have a very weird problem with my 24" iMac. For some reason it seems that after approx. 10 minutes using the Mac, whenever I keep a window on top of another window and then I minimize it, it keeps there like a ghost for another 5-10 seconds until it fades away slowly slowly.
Sometimes it's hard to see it however it's very evident when using a white window (such as Safari) on a dark background (not black).
I'm attaching an image split into 2 parts, the 2nd part is shot exactly after I minimised the browser. It clearly shows a faded ghost image on the grey Photoshop canvas.
Here's the pic:
http://www.neilazzopardi.com/imac.jpg
Has anyone ever experienced a problem similar to mine? or am I getting paranoid?
By the way, I bought this Mac, 5 months ago and I don't know whether this problem has been there from the beginning but I only noticed recently while cropping in Photoshop and still seeing the parts I removed away very faded.

den.thed it's not that I took it the wrong way or anything but shouldn't I be doing whatever I like with my iMac?
For the record that is a dark grey Photoshop canvas, which just happens to show the problem much more evidently.
The problem is that it happens on any background (even desktop) with any window, even Adium etc. Their ghost just stays there for a while... I use the iMac for design purposes and it's very annoying especially when cropping a picture and what I just cut out stays there very faded...

Weird intermittent problems with itunes

I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

Weird Terminal problem with AIX

Hi,
I have kind of an odd problem with the Terminal.app that I hope someone can assist me in figuring out.
I'm connecting to an AIX 5.3 server and the top portion of the window is always "cut off". It's there, it's just one screen up in the buffer and I can't figure out why. I can connect with iTerm and things display appropriately.
Below is a link to a side by side picture of Terminal.app (left) and iTerm (right). If I scroll up in the Terminal.app buffer, I can see the missing lines from the top of the screen.

Thanks,

Minor point: would you please fill in your Forum profile information, at least the Mac OS X operating system version.
I'm currently using Leopard and I can reproduce this problem in Terminal vs iTerm. I used your script output (thank you) in order to generate the escape sequences.
BY THE WAY, if the script output contains any sensitive login info, you might want to change your password on the Pharamcy OSU system
It looks like there is a Terminal problem handling Scrolling Regions as set by <esc>[1;24r. It looks like <esc>[0J is not erasing from the current cursor position to the end of the display, but rather it starts the erase above the current cursor position. The erase behavior without a scrolling region appears better, but not perfect.
I would encourage you to file a bug with Apple at either:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
or
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>
Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter
The BugReporter would be better.
If you want, I have a little script that can be used to demonstrate the problem
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "e[1;24re[He[0Je[He[0Je[?6he[1;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {1..3}
do
echo BEFORE should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
for j in {4..23}
do
echo FILLER should be erased $j $j $j $j $j
done
echo -e "e[4;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {4..23} # our next command prompt will be 24th line
do
echo AFTER should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
Here is example output from Terminal:
BEFORE should remain on screen 1 1 1 1 1

Weird Safari problems with Forum

I've been having random problems with the forum and Safari. When I am not logged in I see this:
Every user, every post is the same except for the occasional (see the 7th row) odd one. I'm also not able to sign on. The login screen comes up but when I enter my un and pw the next page just reloads in a constant loop during the redirect. This is happening on 4 different computers 3 with OSX 10.8.2 and one with the lateest version of OSX 10.7. All have the latest version of Safari...

The forum database crashed a few days ago. There's all sorts of oddities. Not browser related (though of course you could always use a "decent" browser ).

Weird install problem with OS X, please help!

I've been upgrading a friend powerbook firewire 400Mhz G3, we installed 1GB of memory and put in an 80GB HD. I partioned so that OSX can be on the first 8GB, put 9.1 on the second parition of 7GB, upgraded the firmware, and i think i have tried just about everything i could find here on the discussion board.
I have several versions of X including the first version, panther (retail), and tiger (borrowed, on DVD). tiger and the original version get as far as installing, then go into kernal panic (you must restart right now.....etc). 10.2 just gts to the apple screen then a white jagged bar pops up.
i'm at a loss. i really don't know what i try to make this better, any help is greatly appriciated!!!!
oh, and the memory seemed fine when her original 6GB drive was in there, which had tiger installed.
j

jhw1,
I will just run by you some potential causes for your problem and hope that one hits the target.
- I will ask, out of curiosity, why you are making an 8GB partition for OSX? This limitation applies only to the older Wallstreet powerbook. There is no need to partition the HD unless you have a specific reason.
- Since the HD is new, and you still want to run Classic and also boot 9.x, make sure you install the MacOS 9 HD driver, an option in OSX's Disk Utility when erasing an HD, or go ahead and install OS 9.x first...this will automatically install the OS9 HD driver. If you install OSX first on a clean HD without installing the OS9 HD driver, MacOS 9 will run fine in Classic under 10.x but 9.x will no longer boot.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107285
- The Pismo has a history of failing DVD-ROM drives and usually the CD-side starts acting up first. If you have access to another Pismo or Lombard, swap drives and try the install. If you have access to a FireWire CD-RW, you can also boot OSX CDs using it.
- Reset the PRAM if you have not done so.
- You may have dirty or bad CDs; carefully clean or try others.
- You mentioned the 'book ran fine with 1GB of RAM and running Tiger on a 6GB HD, but probably the 1GB was installed after Tiger was on the HD. There is the remote possibility that the RAM is problematic when running the installers. A Wallstreet, for example, often has problems installing with 512MB, but if one 256MB module is removed, the install goes fine, then the RAM is reinstalled.
If this were my 'book, I would try this:
1. Disconnect all peripherals and reset the PRAM.
2. Boot to the 9.x CD > use Drive Setup to repartition the HD (if you wish) > install 9.x to make sure the HD, RAM, etc, are good-to-go.
3. Boot to your OSX CD and see how the install proceeds. If it fails, it may be a problem with the optical drive and/or CDs. Try the options I mentioned earlier.
4. If you wish, remove the top memory module and try the install again. If successful, reinstall the module.
5. If there is no workaround for the optical drive, you might try installing via FireWire Target Disk Mode. The 'target' will be the Pismo's HD on the desktop of the 'host' computer and you will boot the host computer to the OSX CD and select the Pismo's HD as the destination.

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

Weird iWeb problem with nav buttons....

Hi all. New to this and a complete idiot. The club which I am the Prez of needed a web site, and as no one else volunteered, I ended up doing it. Everything seemed to go fine for a while until I started modifying the original site....then I started getting weird things happening. Many of them I have figured out but the last one is beyond me. The problem is with the text in the nav buttons at the top of the pages. On the first page all the navigational buttons are fine, but on all the other pages the button that takes you back to the home page has text I never put in, and it does not appear in it's entirety. Can anyone provide any help as to how I can fix this. The URL is:
www.nocasa-ft.com

Indeed, the problem is with the cache. I cleared the cache and all now comes up as it is supposed to. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I was rather disappointed because it seemed the problem was with Safari, and I kind of like that browser. I didn't want to have to use something else.
Thanks again.

N82 v 20.0.062 RM-313 WEIRD BROWSER PROBLEMS WITH ...

Watching videos on youtube via standard built-in nokia browser worked flawlessly on my nokia N82 black. Right out of the box I could watch standard desktop version of youtube webpage and play any video
BUT ... suddenly (and I have no idea what has caused this) it stopped working and it doesn't work anymore after hard reset (*#7370*) and even after reflashing firmware.
1)
First of all the main youtube webpage looks weird right at the start - the logo YOUTUBE on the top of the page looks as if it had 16 colours (you can obviously see something isn't right with the browser - but this happenes only on youtube webpage)
2)
When you click any video it will either
A) crash the browser or
B) whole page will load except the video (the area where the video is supposed to be will stay blank)
Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone else having these issues?
Message Edited by linham on 06-Jul-2008 12:24 PM

as you said you even reinstalled your software? bet you also did a backup and restored it?
if you did you also "replaced" the problem after the software update
what i suggest and it is a long process
1.save all your data...not using the pc suite backup but rather connecting via mass mode and drag and drop the files from your phone to your desktop
2.hopefully the applications you have installed you have saved on your pc as .sis files? i ask because i usually suggest that you format your memory card after all your data is from from it....its not a must but suggestable
3.PLEASE remember to save your contacts to sim!!!! or better yet, copy them to memory card,use pc suite mode and you'll find a folder on the memory card named "other" the contacts you just copied will be there...drag that folder to your desktop
try this method(drag and drop to desktop) and then reinstall your software...replace your files and see if the browser works again
let me know what happens

I just noticed that the video card crashes after i come back from sleep mode.
Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.ca/2050145
and the Xorg.log: http://pastebin.ca/2050146
For this crash, unlike the one that happens when I view a flash video full screen, the problem can be fixed if i log off and log back on.

Weird PPPoE problem with new Time Capsule

OK, so this is a long and tedious saga, but I don't know what details are important and what are irrelevant.
I had an old AirPort Extreme which was giving me problems. I could connect to the internet fine when I connected my MacBook directly to the DSL modem via the Ethernet cable, but when the same cable was plugged into my old AirPort it thought that there was no Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port. The AirPort was over five years old, so I figured that it was just past its time, and I kinda wanted a Time Capsule anyway for wireless backup, so I went to the Apple Store and bought one today.
I just tried to set it up, and AirPort Utility is telling me, "This Apple wireless device is set up to connect to the Internet using PPPoE but no PPPoE server can be found. Make sure your Internet service provider requires that you use PPPoE, and make sure that the modem is turned on and connected to this Apple wireless device's WAN port and try again. If you still can't connect to the server, contact your service provider."
Well, I did contact my ISP (AT&T Yahoo!), and they said that if I can connect directly via Ethernet, the problem has to be with the Time Capsule or its settings, so they can't help me. I've tried power cycling the DSL modem and Time Capsule, and I keep getting the same problem. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? (I'll probably call AppleCare when they're open, but I thought someone here might be able to shed some light on the situation.)
Thanks!

I had a similar problem (to name one) and couldn't resolve it... I packed it back up and am returning it tomorrow.
All these people have all these solutions but none of them should have to do any of it! That is the biggest problem I have with the TC. They give you a small little guide to set everything up and it doesn't deal with any of this. With networks and computers as they are right now.... you should not have to do any of this at all. You should be able to plug it in, answer a few easy to answer questions like it does ask and then it should configure itself just as any other network device I have purchased in the last 2 years. Even my PS3 I bought last week did it by itself by only asking a few questions! (Same as my macbook... so you know they can do it)
Now.. say you do get it all set up and it works great... hope you don't have kids that like to play their XBox 360 online because guess what.... it isn't compatible with the TC wireless!!! If you want to use your PS3.... you have to buy more stuff.
No.... do yourself a favor... go buy the D-Link DIR-655 that has a USB storage link... hook it up and be in business in 10 minutes. You can also get a 1TB WD external hard drive for $209.00 and hook it up direct to your mac and use time machine and transfer files faster than a mule walking up hill.

Weird internet problem with AE

I installed airport express a few days ago, everything works fine. But I am having trouble connecting to a few internet sites using the wireless network, including www.apple.com and microsoft.com. It stalls while it is looking up for images, while if i'm connected on a cable to my dsl modem everything works perfectly. What baffles me the most is that other sites with large pictures display quickly on the wireless connection. Does this sound familiar?
Yours,
Arthur

Yes, this randomly happens to some people for reasons not completely clear.
One thing you can try - on the Mac, open System Preferences->Network->Airport->TCP/IP tab. In the DNS field, type in the IP address 10.0.1.1 (ie the IP address of the Airport Express). No guarantees, but this sometimes solves the problem.

Weird javascript problem with IE

on this page:
http://www.webtrans1.com/folio
when you click on a thumbnail on the left, the background
around the thumbnail should switch to
grey. So that whichever thumbnail is selected has a grey
background, while the others have a white
background.
This works in FireFox on XP, but not in IE7.
On Mac, it works in Safari, FireFox and Opera.
the switch to grey is using Dreamweaver change property
behavior, and in the links are like this:
<a href="#"
onClick="MM_changeProp('di1','','style.backgroundColor','#ccc','DIV');return
false;">
But there is lots of javascript in the page, some of which I
wrote myself... And I'm not a js expert.
while googling about this problem, I found lots of references
to a 'memory leek' issue with IE and
JS, but what I read went over my head, I don't know if that
could be the issue... Can somebody
suggest a solution?

Weird audio problems with Motion when exporting quicktime videos

I have a Motion project with 2 video clips of people talking. When I create a RAM preview everything plays back fine. When I export a quicktime, the first second or so of each video clip (within the quicktime) have no audio. I've adjusted the in and out of each clip in Motion but I don't think that would make the audio disappear on export. Thinking it was just a bad export, I tried just exporting the audio and the same thing happens.
Here's what i'm using:
Mac Pro dual 3.0 Xeon
10 gigs of RAM
Motion 2.1.2

hi,
motion 2 had some odd audio problems that surfaced now and then. The only way round it was to bring the clip into FCP and edit the audio in there, and then export from fcp.
Motion 3 might have fixed this. Not sure havent had the problem for some time, since I make sure all finnishing is done in FCP.
hope this helps

Problems with the BEFW11S4

Just switched over to a new ISP and they provided me with an old BEFW11S4 Wireless Router. V4.
I am Currently using a Moterola Modem & Windows Vista.
I Can not get to 192.168.1.1 To Configure my router.
- I Plug the Router in to a Power Outlet, and I hold the Reset button for 1 mn.
- I Plug in the Modem to the Internet Connection Slot via Cat5 Ethernet
- I Plug in my Notebook to the any of the 4 other slots.
- I Have full access to the internet. However I get a page can not be displayed when I go to 192.168.1.1
The Router also does not have a light flashing for Wireless
Can someone please help?

What is the IP Address you are getting from the computer wired to the router ?
lick Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
You can also do the browsing settings on your computer :
Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
