Wi-Fi connection strange happenings

Hi
When I connect to Macworld through Wi-Fi the pages open but when I touch on an eddying the iPad returns the following "Unable to reach Macworld Service! The iPad could not reach the Macworld Service. To download the latest magazine content please ensure that the iPad is connected to the internet." Also on another program I get a report saying "Server Busy Our data server is too busy at the moment. Please try again in a moment." but I have been trying to connect for over an hour with success.
So it looks like there is a problem with my settings, but I have looked at them and they look OK. I have restored every thing on the iPad three times now but that doesn't help. Plus when I try and update I get the following " iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iPhone. an unknown error occurred (1652) Make sure your settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
So any one know what settings I should use, also I thought that if I restored the iPad settings then Wi-Fi connections would be set to their original settings.
Ta.

    Strange happenings with my beastie! Recently switching on to network my home set up and anticipating the perennial problem this G4 has in holing configurations, I opened system preferences. But instead of seeing the usual icons representing features in the various categories, the majority look like dog eared pages nailed to a board with pins top left and bottom right and a mini icon over the left bottom; the top right corner forming the dog ear? How do I change them back - and what has happened to cause this? I mean, I haven’t altered any settings; the only chore this mac is used for is down loading images from my camera and maybe exporting them across my network.

    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • BC - Strange Happenings?

    Hi All,
    Can anyone else elaborate on the mysterious happenings that I am experiencing in my BC Site?
    With the following changes taking place;
    Webforms changing themselves
    Content disappearing for the clients site
    Dynamic Menu Root Items reordering themselves
    I have spoken to “Live Chat” about the above problems & unfortunately my request for explanations has thus far lead to nothing.
    Have any other partners been able to have BC check these strange happening – by looking into previous back up version of the Data Centre? Surely BC has these?
    On a funny note, the last “Live Chat” consultant asked me for proof… he wanted to see screenshots of the menu prior to it being mysteriously changed! Is he serious?
    The dynamic menus root item structure has also change by itself in our Responsive BC Templates also…
    See for yourself!
    http://peakhotels.businesscatalyst.com/ The contact should be the last menu item
    http://peakhotelsusblue.businesscatalyst.com/ this is a clone of the Au version on the US Datacentre & is the way it should be – same on the EU Datacentre…
    http://agencymind.businesscatalyst.com/  - same here
    I haven’t check all of our templates or clients sites as yet, but it seems to be related to the AU Data Center & I suspect that it has something to do with the outage last Saturday night…
    Any comments would be appreciated, as I am starting to feel that I am going mad…
    Cheers
    Brendon

    Hey there Sidney,
    Thanks for the response!
    There has been a Support Ticket generated - Ticket 1303 has been escalated to Level 2 support
    As you are a Staff Member, I am hopeful that you can answer the following questions for us;
    1. Does BC keep a record of log in details for each site? The reason I ask this is in order to offer proof that I did not effect the changes.
    2. In relation to BC's Data Centres – Can you detail the redundancy measures that BC has in place with regards to their servers & explain why when a Data Centre falls over everything falls over on that Data Centre? – And why when this takes place, that when this takes place a secondary server bank is not activated – which is the case with most other professional hosting solutions.
    3. Is BC able to roll back a site to a previous version when an outage takes place? As I believe that BC should be in the position to offer this feature to it Partners – as BC in in fact a service provider that all partners rely upon heavily to provide us & our clients with the service we are paying for.
    I know that within your support team, that there is defiantly a culture that is indicative of placing a lot of the blame for said problems on the actual partners, where by they believe that a lot of issues we face as partners collectively are basic HTML/Coding errors that have been created by the Partner.
    This maybe true is some situation, but not in all cases & it is defiantly not a good business practice to let this culture thrive within BC’s Support Team – I was asked by the Support Team member if I could provide prior screenshots of my problems… Yes he was serious!!!
    Does BC expect its partners to keep screenshot back up of all its sites? This is actually BC’s role within the partnership it has with all partners.
    I am now becoming afraid that BC is not providing the basic level of service to its partners & in fact has dropped the ball in relation to its this & wish to point out that BC has a duty of care to provide it partners with what we are all paying for.
    I also now that BC is under a lot of pressure currently to roll out some of the feature sets we have asked for as partners… but really, a strong emphasis should be placed on sorting the data centres & installing effective redundancy measures that work & protect partners from having to redo work that has already been done. 
    Also it should be noted that I am not a newbie & have been a partner for just on 2 years now. I have over 100 sites on the BC platform, including Responsive BC – which is a responsive template solution for BC partners devloped by Matthew Knighton- MRK Developmet & Myself.
    Moving forward, I really hope that BC can address the above issues – therefore we can all prosper.
    Regards
    Brendon

  • Strange happenings with examples from Tom Kyte's book. 10 XE

    Hi all,
    I was twiddling my thumbs and decided to brush up on some of Oracle's fundamentals.
    Tom Kyte's book - Effective Oracle by Design. Examples on pp. 141 - 142 (to do with
    bind variables). Typed in the example and obtained a very strange system reaction.
    It consists of a package "DEMO_141_PKG" with 1 procedure "parse_bind_execute_close"
    which is called by the procedure QUICKFIX142.. The system then proceeds to go mental.
    If anybody could explain to me what's going on, I would be grateful. I'm running 10 XE on
    Ubuntu Linux.
    On running the code (below) I get this in the "Run" window of SQLDeveloper.
    Connecting to the database demo.
    ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded

  • Strange happenings with text and links

    I am not very tech savy so be gentle. I have a blog on iweb. Today I posted and there is something going awry with my text. In a certain part it is hazy and stretched when you mouse over it the mouse pointer turns to a link. Very strange as I didn't place a link there.
    Also, as a side note, I was wondering how I would make my blog more noticed? Is there a way to make it search engine friendly, or are there any boards I can post it on?
    if it would be helpful here is a link to the blog:
    http://web.mac.com/hottee295/iWeb/Site%202/Blog/E4A931A9-D343-4CE2-9259-1F759532 5E09.html

    Are you sure you didn't make a hyperlink there? The link goes to...
    http://www.sewneau.com/how.to/flat.felled.seam.html
    ...which seems in keeping with the subject matter of your site.
    Anyways, look again in iWeb and make sure you did not inadvertantly put a hyperlink for the involved text. Otherwise, this stretched out text is usually indicative of a corruption of your link image. It's nothing to worry about as it is easily remedied by a "Publish All to .Mac" command.
    As far as getting your site indexed, you are doing the right thing by posting your URL here. It's a step in the right direction. Give it some time. You can also submit your iWeb URL here...
    http://www.google.com/addurl
    Just submit: http://web.mac.com/hottee295/iWeb/
    That should be sufficient.

  • Strange happenings with 4.1.185

    Since moving to 4.1.185 I've started seeing a lot of these messages in my log:
    MAX_EAP_IE_RETRIES_REACHED: Reached Max EAP-Identity Request retries (21) for STA00:19:7e:42:a4:fc
    AND
    Oct 15 14:31:01.055 dtl_net.c:1210 DTL-1-ARP_POISON_DETECTED: STA [00:11:f5:1b:93:15, 0.0.0.0] ARP (op 1) received with invalid SPA 172.XX.XXX.XXX/TPA 172.XX.XXX.X
    I also get some clients that, although still connected to the AP, aren't able to ping their gateway or get anywhere else. The have to do a "repair" with Windows WZC to get working again. Anyone got any ideas?

    What is happening is that the clients are trying to do an authentication request. That request is proxied and handed up to the authentication authority (RADIUS). If the the controller does not get the response in the alotted time it will resend the request. After a certain number of requests it will fail giving you this error. The default setting for this response time is 2 seconds. Two seconds in not enough time for the transaction to take place in several different EAP configurations. Cisco suggests you move to 12 but I agree with the other poster. 30 is good number. This is quite frequently the problem when users have to type in a name and password. I am betting that when you upgraded code it reset the value for EAP timeouts back to 2 seconds. That is probably why you are seeing it now.

  • Strange happenings

    Hi, I am currently in the middle of making a new site for a cycling club I am a member of (http://www.cqoz.com/16/) and I keep testing it but I am getting many varying results on different browsers. Even Safari is not good, as it gets some sttrange question marks in blank spaces, as does Camino web browser. Internet Explorer just alters the position of lots of things, and Firefox and Opera have strange markings in blank spaces as well.Surely this was taken into consideration when Apple made this product. I have used Freeway a fair bit, and these problems don't occur. I know it can be said that iWeb is going to be used by Apple users, so it will run OK in Safari, but surely everyone knows that if we are making a website, it will be viewed by an audience where the vast majority are going to be using Windows and Internet Explorer, so it surely should be designed to cater for this.
    Anyway , can anyone spread any light on my problem, and why I am getting the strange marks even with Safari?? Thanks, John

    why I am getting the strange marks
    Because your ftp settings are wrong. See this note

  • Strange happenings on Yosemite

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13 inch, early 2013, 8 GB, 256GB)  Running Yosemite 10.10
    I noticed that every now and then the laptop seems to "go to sleep" or simply stop responding for sometimes several seconds up to about 20 seconds), and now just today my Apple Magic mouse is failing to stay connected during operation.  I have changed the batteries, etc. but it seems like the Bluetooth is stopping (if that is how the mouse connects).  Shutting down and restarting "cures" the problem for several minutes.  
    Basically sometimes apps and the computer work as always and sometimes not the same.  Guess I am spoiled since I have always found my MacPro and Mavericks to be so rock solid in the past.
    Also, I have noticed that my Windows PCs are now unable to use MAIL through iCloud (web based) as has been possible before.    This is fairly serious since many of us also use PCs to check our iCloud email. Logging into iCloud is OK and the calendar, etc. still work but opening up Mail brings up the error msg that email is not working and I have pressed the "send info to Apple" multiple times.
    I guess I am so used to using such reliable Apple products that this change to Yosemite somewhat "blind-sided" me.  I had expected (that unlike MicroSoft) Apple always seemed to really test their software prior to release.

    Aloha Link,
    Yessir, when the mouse is not working, the trackpad still works great!
    Thanks

  • Strange happenings on my G5!

    Hi - maybe someone can help. Diff menu options on my G5 Apple menu are doubling up (so there are 2 x Restart, 2 x Shut Down, 2 x Log Out). Also, when I select an icon on my desktop a thin black border appears around it.
    I thought it might be disk corruption but First Aid found nothing. I've installed latest updates (OSX 10.4.8) and dumped any font related preferences as I know fonts can cause strange behaviour. Anyone had this?
    Thanks, Andy

    If you haven't already done so, resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM has been known to cure weird stuff like this.

  • Strange happenings with the OS X mail...

    While I'm presently using the latest Mavericks edition, I've noticed the follow strange behavior with the immediate previous OS X versions as well.
    When I'm sending an email and have NO other outbound email waiting to go, I see various numbers of outbound emails in the lower activity section.  For example, I can be sending one email and the activity window says there are any number going out.  A few minutes ago I saw 11 going out, but the number seems to vary from 5 to maybe 15 outbound emails.
    I see the same indication with incoming emails. The counter may say 15 or some other number of inbound emails when I actually receive far less.
    I'm wondering why this is, especially with the outbound email number being several more than I'm actually sending.  There is no indication in the "sent" folder other than the primary email(s) I've sent.
    The short version of this is could I have a virus that is sending data to someone I don't know?  Other than OS X mail, I've never seen this happen when using Windows. 
    Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    It sounds like a counter variable isn't being reset. You get this quite a lot in software where there is a loop counter that the programmer likes to use (I use i,j and k habitually) and if the counter isn't set in some kind of automatic fashion then each time you run through the loop it increments over and over. Whoever is managing the bug fixes at Apple has probably given this a priority 4 or lower and so it will never be fixed.
    I think the takeaway message is that this is probably not as big a worry as it looks. I too thought I might be sending buckets of emails as part of a botnet. The fact that it resets when you restart the whole thing makes me think it is just what is above.
    Do actual Apple employees ever look at or respond to the things that people post in these threads? It would be useful to know if it is a known bug or not.

  • Sound issues - strange happenings

    I am having strange problems with sound on my youview and panasonic tv combo.
    When i go to on-demand and attempt to watch BBC iplayer there is no sound. When i go to 4OD the sound works everytime. If i then go back to iplayer the sound then works!
    note:
    - i do not have an areial attached to the youview box.
    - the problem does not effect the phono output of the youview
    - i have had John Lewis replace the tv but no difference.

  • Very strange happenings....

    Hello all
    There is something very strange going on with a couple of
    flash movies/sites that I have created.
    At first it was only noticed by one person, but it is now
    two, which makes me wonder how many others are having the problem.
    Please check this
    site and
    this
    site in IE6 (if you still have it).
    The problem is that on the first site the navigation on the
    left hand side doesn't appear to work but the images all show and
    they can see the background. When they roll over where the
    navigation is it shows the rollOver state but no text. The same is
    so for the second site's flash header.
    It works on the majority of other test machines we have tried
    and I can't understand why the odd ones can see the images but not
    the text as the swf files are the whole thing (not images seperate
    from the nav). Do the fonts need to be embedded or made into
    outlines (like Illustrator) because I thought that all fonts would
    display using flash?
    Just wondered if anyone else had come across this very odd
    thing or anyone could offer any advice, it's confused me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Marylin,
    iMovie has a ... "fragile" file system... I'm reading, you're doing zillions of things, while project is in process ...including getting a new hard drive, running Disk Warrior, unplugging my modem, etc. .. esp. "getting a new harddrive".. how did you accomplish THAT??... anyhow.
    so, basic rule:
    Don't get hasty.
    In the video portion I am using and intermixing stills and video, transitions, titles, etc. .... I can undo & redo voice overs, increase volume, reduce volume on clips, add music., fade it in and out.
    another rule: iMovie has problems with too much audio-editing... some recommend here, to export project after finishing editing to tape and reimport and do audio THEN...
    iMovie is easy to use, but a project of such big size shouldn't be done with "trial & error"... try to break it down in parts (you can rejoin them later), think first/do some paper editing first; create playlists in iTunes to have easy access to titles you want; add narration first (as "timeline" where to edit what) or at last, when everything is finished (take in concern that im-/export hint)...
    I've accomplished 2h projects with a much less powered Mac then yours... keep calm, do it easy, think first.
    just to mention that:
    . The computer fan makes loud noises and I have to switch off the power to the computer. The fan is for cooling your Mac, switching it off, means no cooling= oh, oh... and to stop a UNIX system by unplugging the computer... pphheww... no good either....
    you bought a 2000$ machine - don't treat it as a Gremlin ;-))

  • Strange happenings with Quicksilver 766MHz

    Hello,
    We've started having problems with several Quicksilver 766MHz macs in our labs.
    The Symptoms:
    1) Machine starts to boot up, then all of a sudden it's like someone's pulled out the kettle lead.
    2) Occasionally, these machines manage to boot. But, take out the USB cable for the keyboard and it instantly shuts down.
    Other strange symptoms:
    Well, just repeating myself really. If it does boot up, if you pull out the keyboard USB lead then it will trigger the immediate shut down!!!*.
    Things we're tried:
    Removed all RAM, tried them one by one.
    Swapped the PSU with a 'known good machine' (or was it a 'known good machine'? It's a long filthy job swapping PSUs).
    Reset the motherboard.
    Tried to ZAP the PRAM - at that point the machine wasn't getting any further than a couple of seconds into booting.
    Checked graphics cards and all cables inside etc.
    The battery is working because, i think, if it wasn't then it would get to do it's initial chime (most times it will chime, then power down, but sometimes it can't even be bothered to do that).
    Searched archives. Found one thing where this guy was having similar problems, except that it wasn't booting at all, the On button would just glow. But i haven't found any information on this strange symptom involving the USB cable:
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2005/Sep/msg00220.html
    This general troubleshooting link from apple:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95055
    Other info:
    The latest 3 machines behaving in this way were moved to another location and when they got there they were in this state.
    The environment we're testing them in is not over heating them. They've dealt with far warmer conditions in the past.
    A number of these machines, which were all purchased at the same time, have started behaving in this way
    Any thoughts most welcome. Thanks in advance,
    C
    G4 Quicksilver 766MHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    Hi, I've seen some occasional flakiness with the USB ports on my QS 2001. I believe that the USB ports just don't provide enough juice to run many peripherals off, so my suggestion would be to make sure that you use powered hubs for anything more than a keyboard, and if you use a keyboard with a port installed (Kensington's Keyboard-in-a-Box is one such), hang only one more device off of it.
    Occasionally heat damage can be irreversible, and it sounds like you're experiencing some of the symptoms here as well. Just for grins, have you tried running the machines with the case open? The battery is also a symptom of all kinds of mischief. I'd replace that it in just one computer to see if it made a difference.

  • Strange Happenings in Adobe Acrobat 5.0

    I have multipule PDF pages already created, but seperate. I wish to put them together as one document. I know how to do this, and all of the pages come together correctly. One of the last pages I've tried to insert into the document shows the grid lines and colors, but no text. It was originally a MS Word document. Any suggestions, as I have tried to insert the page multipule times with the same outcome.

    The original document looks like it should - all the text is showing correctly.
