Wiring issue causing my low margin?

Hey guys, thanks for reading.
My DSL lately has been EXTREMELY frustrating. For years it was rock solid. Last couple of months, I have been connecting with a downstream margin of 6 and upload of 9!
I'm no stranger to how all this stuff works. There's no problem at all on the inside wiring. At the NID, I am getting the same transceiver stats.
However, I noticed something strange outside of my apartment complex. There are five apartments here, each with their own NID, wired from this old pedastal looking thing (it has AT&T on it, that's old). Taking a look inside, the wires inside are a complete and utter mess. They are coated with black disgusting crud, the bare copper looks pretty oxydized. Need to know if this could be a problem from one of the pros. I attached an image for your viewing pleasure!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Oxidized copper, especially with that kind of demarc outdoors can cause noise issues. I'd get a tech out to see what they can do to clean the copper up a bit. The mess is fine as long as the contacts for it are in good shape and the techs who work on it are able to work with it without breaking another's service.
That wiring without a doubt looks a bit old though. Definitely dating back to the Bell system back when there was basically AT&T as your telephone company in most of the US. The color coding scheme is a bit different today for newer copper runs in addition to each run being twisted cable for as long as possible. Age of course, won't bother service too much unless the line is in rough shape or in major need of repair. I've seen plenty of old lines push DSL out farther and stronger than newer, less thick runs when they are maintained, repaired, and kept as they should.

After days of tweaking and suspecting antivirus behind the problems, I reverted back to MSI's default drivers as listed on the product webpage. It appears to be stable so far. Well at least I can use it now.
I'm not sure if Killer's drivers are suck or MSI don't allow drivers 'not certified by them'. But its bad news if someone wants to use the latest drivers considering we're talking cutting edge gaming laptops here.

Lower Margins

Using Windows 7 for my operating system, and Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) the item I'm trying to print appears correctly, but it doesn't print the bottom line, is there a way to adjust the lower margin?

Not with Adobe Reader.
Best to do — reconfigure the authoring file and output a new PDF.
Be well...

Low system memory issue - caused by Mail?

While I was at work, my wife was using our iMac at home, and she said that a weird error dialog appeared this afternoon that asked her to quit applications, following which the system became unresponsive.
When I came home I found that a lot of running applications were in a hung state (unresponsive and required a Force Quit) so I rebooted the iMac.
I looked in the Console and saw that at 15:39:37 today two errors started repeating at an enormous rate - something like 5000 times per second for the next 5 seconds:
12/02/2015 15:39:36.373 Mail[226]: *** Assertion failure in -[MCSocket readBytes:maxLength:error:], /SourceCache/Mail/Mail-2070.6/MailCore/Networking/MCSocket.m:469
12/02/2015 15:39:36.381 Mail[226]: exception parsing IMAP response: trying to read/write concurrently
...then at 15:39:42 the rate suddenly decreases to only about 10 errors per second. This continued for a further 15 minutes, until at 15:55:22:
12/02/2015 15:55:22.000 kernel[0]: low swap: suspending pid 226 (Mail)
12/02/2015 15:55:22.590 loginwindow[797]: -[ProcessPanel(lowMem) initAsLoMemPanel] | Lo-Memory panel initializing
...then lots of errors like this:
12/02/2015 15:55:23.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 999 [com.apple.MailSe]
12/02/2015 15:55:24.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 1000 [com.apple.InputM]
12/02/2015 15:55:25.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 269 [com.apple.intern]
So it looks to me like the Mail app went haywire, the Mac ran low on memory, so OS X made some kind of "Lo-Memory panel" appear to handle it.
A quick search in Google Images revealed that there is such a thing as an OS X low memory error - the exact text of which is "Your system has run out of application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using". It displays a list of running apps so you can quit them. The error looks something like this:
    http://i.imgur.com/HDplIwv.jpg
When I showed this picture to my wife she said that is exactly what she saw.
I will report this to Apple on their feedback page. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know. Obviously something that can bring down the entire system like this is not good.

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
          A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
          Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
          View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Firewire Issues Caused By Apple Isight!

For months, I've been having an intermittent Firewire audio problem, which I initially thought was A) Quad G5 or B) RME Fireface 800!
Testing the RME on another Quad G5 resulted in no errors, though for piece of mind a replacement RME was given! Back home the same intermittent problems occurred, it had to be the Quad G5???
Livid, this time I persisted on Google searching for FW issues, (a few hours later) to my amazement I came across an article on MacFixIt, that pointed the finger to Apple's own iSight FW camera, which I had connected!
The transcript below explains how to resolve this problem, it worked for me!
Mini-Tutorial: Dealing with FireWire problems (drives not mounting, devices unrecognized, etc.)
As an Apple-invented technology, FireWire (IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b) should be (and usually is) one of the most solid and efficient means for interfacing with external peripherals. Indeed Apple's "i"-branded devices -- the iPod and iSight -- have, in large part, been made possible by the quick transfer rates, power sourcing, and hot pluggability offered by FireWire.
Occasionally, however, conflicts between FireWire-connected devices arise and can result in a variety of issues including DV cameras dropping frames, FireWire drives not mounting, and erratic behavior from the iPod (disappearing from iTunes, etc.). In the midst of these issues, you might also experience "buffer underrun" errors when trying to burn CDs or DVDs with FireWire-connected recorders.
The iSight is especially notorious for causing issues of this nature, and exhibiting symptoms.
There exist a number of methods for dealing with FireWire device interference, a few of which are explored here.
Switching Ports The first procedure you should try when experiencing a problem that you believe to be caused by device interference is to simply reconfigure the arrangement in which your FireWire peripherals are connected.
Try switching each device to a different port, or temporarily disconnecting one or more of the devices. In particular, if you are a PowerMac G5 owner, trying switching devices from the front to back ports or vice versa.
Adding an external hub In some cases, it appears that FireWire devices are not drawing enough power from the computer. This can cause a sundry of strange issues, including apparent conflicts between devices and unexpected power-offs during device operation. In these instances, adding an externally powered FireWire hub can clear things up.
One of the reasons an "under-powered" situation can occur is that different Mac models have varying power capacities available through their FireWire ports.
PowerBooks and iBooks have the least, generating around 7 watts. The iMac G5 also generates a relatively low amount of FireWire power, sharing 8 watts between its two FireWire 400 ports.
The Power Mac G5 shares 15 watts between its one FireWire 800 port and two FireWire 400 ports.
Place devices on different FireWire busses/Isolate the iSight Similar to the above procedure, adding another FireWire bridge -- via an extra PCI-based FireWire adapter or another means -- can eliminate conflicts from devices that reside on the same bridge.
Power cycling the system Simply cycling the power on your system may be enough to temporarily eliminate a few FireWire conflict issues.
Shut down your Mac, and disconnect all FireWire devices as well as the computer's power cord. Leave the system off for about 10 minutes, then plug it back in. First turn your Mac back on, then re-attach the FireWire devices one at a time and check for the conflict to resurface.
Disconnect the iSight As noted above, the most common cause of interference is Apple's own iSight. In case after case, simply disconnecting this single device has eliminated problems with other FireWire devices.
Disconnecting the iSight has proved particularly successful for an issue where the iPod disappears from the Desktop and from the iTunes playlist, while the iPod status screen cycles from the Apple logo to a "Do not Disconnect" message over and over.
The exact reasons why the iSight causes more than its fair share conflicts with other FireWire devices are many, and sometimes unclear. One potential source of conflict, however, could be the unit's high bandwidth usage.
The iSight captures video at a 640 x 480 pixel resolution, at 30 frames per second in millions of colors. Such throughput uses a significant chunk of the standard FireWire port's 400 Mbps bandwidth. As such, when other devices are connected, the bandwidth requirements for satisfactory performance may not be met.
Apply the latest updates Make sure that your FireWire drives are using the latest firmware (check the manufacturers' Web site) and the most recent iPod update has also been applied.
Of higher importance, if you have an iSight, is the iSight 1.0.2 updater. In a large number of cases it has resolved conflicts caused by the camera.
Re-apply the most recent Mac OS X combo updater In some cases, re-applying the most recent combo updater can resurrect seemingly defunct FireWire ports and allow devices -- drives included -- to be recognized again.
The most recent combo updater is available from Apple's download page.
Clear caches Try using a tool like Tiger Cache Cleaner or Cocktail to remove potentially corrupt system caches. Restart, then check if your FireWire devices are recognized.
Ps. There was no iSight connected when testing the RME on another Quad!

Permissions Issue causes Dreamweaver CS6 Menus to Crash the Application. Please Help!

I recently upgraded Adobe Web Premium CS5 to CS6. All of the include applications seem to run as expected, except for Dreamweaver which crashes when many of the pallet menu options are clicked.
The application when tested on a new user account will operate without crashing, and after contacting Adobe support, they referred me to the Apple/Mac Community for help, since they want to identify the issue as a permissions problem associated with my user account on my MacBook Pro.
With the many levels of permissions in many different locations, I'm at a loss as to what changes might be necessary to fix the problem. I did upgrade Java to the latest release in the hope that it would help, but it did not.
Any isight into this issue would be appreciated. After reading throught the Adobe Forum related to this application, I found other rmenu issues that were similar but manifested in slightly different ways, like certain options were not visible and users assumed that they were removed in the latest release.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’renot going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Apple Wired Keyboard Causing Bootcamp Boot Freeze

Hello everyone,
I discovered a very serious issue with my late 2009 21.5" iMac. Whenever I would attempt to boot to my Bootcamp partition, the system would freeze on the selection screen. After months of trying various things, including a complete reformat of the drive, I have found that the issue is being caused by the fact that my Apple wired keyboard is plugged into a USB port. I have found a workaround, which is to set the Bootcamp partition as primary and unplug the keyboard before the system boots, but this is a very large pain in the neck. Can anyone suggest a fix?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Yes. It started out as an intermittent issue. A few reboots generally got Bootcamp to start. But it became worse over time. I deleted and reinstalled Bootcamp/Windows several times before this. Last week the issue came up again. I tried deleting the Bootcamp partition/reinstalling Windows again, but this time it would hang during the installation process. I went so far as to reformat my whole drive, but that did not resolve the issue either. All this took place over the course of several months, off and on. I dont use Bootcamp very often.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

Creating Network Bridge in Windows 7 on wired port causes cable unplugged

So I created a Microsoft Loopback interface and tried to create a Network Bridge in Windows 7 with the wired Ethernet port on my E7440 laptop. But once the bridge is created and the interfaces added, the Ethernet port says 'cable unplugged'. If I take the interface out of the bridge, it sits there for quite a while before it says it is active again.
I'm pretty sure I have been able to do this on other PCs. Is there something new here or a bug with this model?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,
I don't know of anything specific to the E7440 that would cause that problem. I would think any security software, or hardware, would block pings to the loopback address, not report it as cable unplugged. I just wonder if there is something with the driver that is causing it? (Since it sounds like without the loopback that the NIC is functioning correctly).
The E7440 comes with Intel AMT for remote maintenance, but I wouldn't think it would block what you're trying to do. And even if it did, then it still shouldn't give that media unplugged message.
To be honest, these forums aren't the best place to get answers to this sort of question. We try to do best possible support but this might be an issue where you need to contact Dell's Tech Support and speak to the software agents who are more experienced in advanced software support.
Sorry we couldn't be of more help to you.

Tired of constant issues - Screen is low res and flickers.

Hi..
I am so beaten down by these constant problems with my MBP. Looks like I'm going in for a third repair, again, with multiple problems. And again, not all problems will warrant their even looking at them all.
For instance, they didn't give my crooked fitting battery as much as a glance last repair, because the screen was the main issue.
Again, the screen is an issue this time. It looks like it's showing in low resolution. I know the problem is mechanical, because moving the lid will cause the screen to flicker, display lines, and eventually solve the problem temporarily once the exact right angle is found.
But why does this keep happening? It must be a crimped cable or a bad card, right? But in additon, the computer has been running hotter lateley. It seems to have a problem with high demands on video apps, even running small QT files.
And for the second time, my charge cable literally melted right through, and was about to catch fire. My computer is incredibly hot as I type this.
I think what I want to know now is: how many issues does it take before apple acknowledges a Lemon?
And, question two: suppose I want to sell this computer, do you think I would be better of with a Macbook, or even an older Powerbook? Or should I buy a nice Imac? I can't keep dealing with breaking computers, melting cables that could possibly burn down my apt. building in my absence and the downtime.
It's tiring, and an expensive maching like this should perform better. It's disappointing, especially since I switched from the PC so enthusiastically a few years ago. I really want to keep believing in Apple.
Thanks for any suggestions - I am off to the Apple store to part with my Macbook Pro for another couple of days again - third time in seven months!
Pascal

Why not ask Applecare to replace the whole laptop ?
by the way,is your MBP a Core or Core 2 Duo?
I am currently using a Core 2 Duo MBP, it's working well(except for a defective battery )but i am happy with it.

IMac 27" (Late 2012) Loud Fan and Overheating Issues, causing Hard Drive Failure

Hi all,
I'm having some serious overheating issues with my new iMac. Any help to help me solve this problem would be gladly appreciated since it's really beginning to bug me. Here's what's has happened:
I noticed in the first few hours of switching the iMac on that there was a short burst of very loud fan noise. This has been happening about once every two days since and every time I haven't been doing any heavy processing with the system. I've noticed that the main fan will spin, on average, at 1200rpm. Is that normal? The iMac is very well ventilated and sits right next to a window...
I have also boot camped the iMac with a copy of Windows 8 so I could run some fairly power-hungry games. I intentionally purchased a high end iMac (27" display, Intel Core i7 3.4GHz, Nvidia GeForce 680MX Graphics, 1TB Fusion drive) and expected the iMac to run games flawlessly. However, after a few days, I noticed that the CPU and GPU had shot up to a worrying 80°C whenever I ran power-hungry games, with a very loud hissing noise from the fan. After running games for about 10 minutes, the fan will stop hissing, causing the GPU and CPU to increase to 100°C. The iMac then fails and switches off unexpectedly without any warning. After analysing the Windows event logs, I received an event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
As this occurred about six times whilst I was testing my iMac's performance, I think my hard drive has now begun to fail - sometimes I will hear the hard drive make a click noise, about once every 5 seconds. Sometimes, the clicking noise causes OS X and Windows to run very slowly (even though minimal RAM is being used and nothing too intensive (Safari, Mail etc.) is being processed). Running Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions under OS X's recovery mode as well as a repair in chkdsk in Windows suggests that there were no problems with the hard drive. All I can do is wait a while for the clicking noise to stop, and then performance will increase. I have backed up everything externally.
I have also performed a reset of the SMC as well as the PRAM, which hasn't really helped.
Any help will be appreciated. I will gladly provide any extra logs etc. if they're needed.
Thanks so much,
Alex.

That's the default fan speed on iMacs, so there isn't any problem with this.

You must know that Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 and that Apple hasn't released drivers for Windows 8, so it can fail. Install Windows 7 inmediately until Apple launches updated drivers.
As it looks like the hard disk is damaged, I would take the Mac to an Apple Store. It's in warranty, so it should be repaired for free or you should receive a new one

Issue in determining Low level codes

Hi Gurus,
We are having an issue running heuristics when running along with Temporary low level codes. We are in SCM 7.0 environment.
The SNP Heuristics jobs are failing with this message "Low-level code
not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
Also, the message in the job log for the product in was flagged for deletion and I am not too sure why is this being picked up for processing and then failing?
I tried using SDP relevance as '1' for the product flagged for deletion for testing purposes and then the program is not considering this SKU, but stopping at another SKU and also that SKU is flagged for deletion. But the flip side of using SDP relevance is that that setting is at global level andmay have issues where the SKU is active.
I have couple questions:
1) Is there a way for the program to skip the code which has an error and move forward instead of failing the job? and provide a spool with error codes.Also, to provide the LLC number for all the correct SKU's instead of failing at that point and not generating the LLC's?
2) Why is the program also considering the codes which are flagged for deletion which should not be the case?
Also, I tried another way of maintaining the codes in thevariant which are not flagged for deletion and tried running heuristics in the background but failed at a point and it gave a message stating Low-level code not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX, Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
But the product which was displayed in the job log is an active SKU. I am not too sure why the job failed with this error?
I tried running that individual SKU in the background including the temporary determination of LLC, it was successful. I am not too sure why it failed when it was a part of selection?
Any suggestions, would really help us a lot.

Hi Datta - Thanks for the replies. I was able to have a workaround by using selection profiles excluding the Procurement type 'P' and it worked.
At our client, whenever a product is made 'non-X0' in ECC, procurement type is set to 'P' and by excluding that piece in the variant I was able to continue with my processing.
But still, don't you think the products which are flagged for deletion shouldn't be picked up heuristics?
Thanks and regards,

Issue caused by change of Publisher ID and Product ID?

I developed a Windows Phone app for a charity free of charge. I was developing the app under my own moniker and submitted all my code to a GitHub repository they had from when they had the iPhone app developed. When it came to publishing the app,
it was one of their IT own staff which did the job, not me, and they registered themselves with Microsoft. They received a new Publisher ID and Product ID as part of the app submittal process and updated GitHub.
I downloaded the changes from GitHub and am no longer able to run the app from Visual Studio (2013 Ultimate) on an emulator or a physical device. I can revert back to the original files for Package.appxmanifest, WMAppManifest.xml and the app is
able to run. However, this leaves me running with out of date code.
Is the issue that I am not a registered developer with their Publisher ID? If not, then what is the solution, other than running with the original files? I have seen other suggestions that it may be the SplashScreen causing the issue but that
is not the issue here.
Thx

Iphone os 3.1 issues, cause of error !?

Hello,
maybe I am on of a thousound who is experiencing issues for OS 3.1.
I've got the frozen iphone problem,
when trying to unlock the slider after standby.
And just the same for taking calls from standby.
Besides,
my phone won't suddenly dial out .
No ringtone nothing, but the display tells me I am dialing.
I've read that a lot of you have the same problems.
And I searching for a possible cause of this problem.
And I think I've found (one).
My Iphone runs absolutely OK for days, no problem.
But when listening to music from the internal ipod interface,
all these problems occur.
Memory cleans do not solve these issue.
I have to restart.
Can anyone confirm this ?
It seems to be worse with big audio files like podcasts.
BTW: Is Apple working on these problems ?
Till now I was absolutely happy with my macbook and iphone.
NO problemes, never at all.
But this is a bad joke ...

Several of us are having this problem with VPN and also the App Store. The paste will work ONCE after a hard reset (not sure about a regular reset). Then it will not work again until another reset. Since this problem happens in the App Store, which is an intrinsic part of OS 3.1, the problem is clearly Apple's to fix. Please make sure you file a defect on the Apple Feedback page for the iPhone so that they will look at it and fix it. I would not have upgraded if I had known about this problem in advance because of the VPN paste issue created using the RSA Token app. Now you have to memorize the digits while in the RSA app and then type them into VPN, all in the given time allotted. Not good...

Wired mouse causes screens to move about

I've read problems with mouse cursors that move randomly. My problem is that the screens I'm working on jump around randomly when I touch my wired mouse. I've dis- and re-connected both mouse and keyboard; I've also changed mouse settings in System Preferences, but I can't stop screens from moving without losing use of mouse. Is there any way to reset? Will new mouse solve my problem?

Hi, have you tried:- SMC & PRAM resets..
I would also consider trying another mouse & keyboard combination so as to reassure yourself your existing K/B & Mouse are not giving the issue..L
