WRT54G v1.0 configuration gets wiped out for no reason

Hi,
I have a WRT54G v1.0 wireless router. Two or three times this last year I found the router had lost all the configuration setup I had completed, including : signal beacon off, ssid, WEP encryption, MAC filetering, etc. Can someone tell me if this is a hardware problem, a firmware problem or something else?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
L.

Routers seem to be very sensitive to electrical noise and spikes. If you are not using a high quality surge protector with RFI/EMI filtering (such as the Belkin Gold Series), then get one. If you are using a high quality protector and you still have this problem, and if upgrading the router's firmware does not fix the problem, then you need a new router. Routers that "forget" their settings are not secure.

Contact Ringtones & Photos getting wiped out during sync

I hope someone else has experienced this issue and can help me. I get on my iPhone 3G and assign ringtones and photos to my contacts, but the photos and ringtones don't "push" to MobileMe, so that every time I do a sync with iTunes for new music and videos, the photos and ringtones get wiped out and everything goes back to Default. I can go in and set Contact photos in MobileMe, but I have no way to set ringtones for those contacts there. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with Entourage -- every time I sync, all of my specific iPhone info is lost: ringtone and photo specifically. In order to use Entourage, it has to be synced through Address Book and iCal. What a kludge this is! Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable workaround and I refuse to use Apple's horrible little Mail, Address Book and iCal apps in place of the rather elegant (dare I say this) Microsoft Entourage.

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Not possible.
The iPhone does not save contact information on the sim card.

Itunes preferences get wiped out with new updates

ITunes 10.4.1 freeze (hang) when webradio stream drop out for any reason.

Hello,
My iTunes freeze (hang) when any webradio stream drop out for any reason; e.g. when ISP renews the IP, the radio station has limited the stream duration (as some do) per connection or wireless is cut off e.g. by closing the lid of the MacBook.
I've to force Quit then iTunes. If I wait (up to an hour for testing) no hung or crash report get generated, iTunes still stay unresponsive.
System: MacBook Pro 2011
OS: OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
iTunes version: 10.4.1 (10)
iTunes 3rd Party add-on's: None
Any ideas out there?
Cheers - Lupunus

I will commiserate. I have this same issue. In some cases, the stream will stop and restart after 15-30 seconds; repeat. In other cases, the stream will stop, and iTunes will switch to the last radio station in that playlist. Then that station will play for a few minutes, and stop, and sometimes restart. But usually iTunes will hang (spinning beach ball) and must be force-quit.

Contacts get wiped out after uploading IOS6

I uploaded IOS6 and my contacts got wiped out. How do I get them back?

An easy way to get your contacts back:
Go to your mail settings -> icloud and turn off contacts. Your contacts should now be visible again. Note that in most cases, the contacts are not actually missing. It's just that the contacts list has an issue where it seems to have trouble displaying the contacts when multiple lists are active. Once your contacts are back, you can turn icloud contacts back on and re-merge them. Note that when you turn it off, it will give you the option to keep or delete contacts on your phone - click KEEP!

CO12- Yield quantity gets zeroed out for some plants.

Hi Experts,
While confirmation using CO12- collective confirmation, i get a message "Total confirmed quantity does not equal planned quantity"( ECC6.0 system). Moreover for few plants, the yield is zeroed out, eventhough i enter the planned qty and after confirmation is executed, the yield shown is zero for those confirmed operations.
1. Why does the message "Total confirmed quantity does not equal planned quantity" appear eventhough i enter the planned operation quantity for confirmation?
2. Why does the yield quantity zeroed out for some plant? (maybe for some material also)?
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks,
SudhaharN

In OPk4, Confirmation parameters, for ur plant and order type combinaation, check the tab "operation indiv.entry initial screen. "
In that tick the Quantities PROPOSED..
u ll get away from the issue...
hope this helps..

Apple TV purchases - will they get wiped out by a sync to a new computer?

Ok, here's my issue: I've got an Apple TV, currently synced to an old and near-inoperable computer, through which I've bought several movies which, given the state of my old computer, only reside on the Apple TV.
I'm hoping to sync the Apple TV to my new computer which I understand will wipe out the old content on the Apple TV that was synced from the old one. I'm OK with this. But my concern is for the movies bought through the Apple TV - will these also be wiped out when I do the sync to the new computer? I'm hoping not of course.
Thanks for all tips and pointers.

Replying to my own question for the sake of anyone looking for this answer in the future. Got impatient and went ahead and disconnected Apple TV from the old computer and synced it to my new one. All purchased movies were preserved - didn't have to do anything, Apple TV just held on to them and has now allowed me to pass them over to the new computer.

Okay, I'm deployed overseas and I just bought an iPad the other day, and I can't get apps because for some reason I can't sign up for iTunes, it's been like 4 days where it says error after I fill out my information for iTunes account

Any suggestions?

Hi and keep safe!
My links to websites are much more basic (when I first read this I hoped Texas Mac Man would respond to you and he did!)
My guess is you probably have wireless where you are and might have a computer, but not knowing for sure...
We set my husband's up this Summer, and for whatever reasons used my Apple ID and itunes so he could share our itunes libraries (already paid for shows and movies) and cd's I uploaded to my mac.
So you might be beyond this basic stuff, but it might help.
Also, please note that you can now set up an itunes account without a credit card. If you decide to do that, you can ask family at home to buy itunes cards and give you the #'s without having to mail them to you because you might or might not get them.
You can download a manual at Apple.com which might help you with any problems you encounter.
You will need to sync your ipad with your computer.
If you have/had an ipod, mac book, etc., you're apple id on your ipad will be the same. A couple of weeks ago our younger son bought an ipad before he went back to school. He could not create accts, etc., but then realized he was already set up with his ID from when he got his very first ipod years ago.
Sign up for the cloud for back-up.
Get find my ipad - free app in App store.
And get gotcha (not sure where - my son's looking into it.) But if someone takes your ipad and turns it on, a picture of him/her is automatically e-mailed to you and you can go from there to hopefully retrieve it.
So please check out

Hope this helps, and again, keep safe.

Trying to install adobe acrobat pro 9 on a new laptop after deactivating it on old laptop. After installation I get Update check for some reason then doesn't let me go any further Anyone know why this is?

OK so I have deactivated and uninstall the version off the old laptop, then reinstalled the version on the new laptop. When you go to open a document it says it wants to do an upgrade check for some reason, anyone know why this is? It will not take the serial number after that and it doesn't show the version we have in the drop down list.

Hi johnb49273320,
What operating system are you running on the new laptop? If it's a current OS, then it may be incompatible with Acrobat 9. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-prod ucts.html.
It could also be that you're trying to install an upgrade, and the installer is looking for the serial number for the previous version (is the previous version listed in the drop-down list?).
Best,
Sara

Wireless connection drops out for no reason

I have a macbook with 10.4.11 update. I had my macbook since october last year and had no problems. About two months ago now i have this problem were my wireless connection drops for no reason, my modem/router shows everything is working normal with its lights on the front panel.
My setup is, motorola sbg900 on a cable 80000mbps wireless network, firewall off on my modem, firewall on on my mac (its always been on), Playstation 3(wireless), PC(wireless, but is switched off), another pc which is wireless and also off, nintendo wii off as well, and a baby monitor.
I have a feeling its nothing to do with my setup(except for maybe port forwarding) but am wondering if it is an update issue bug that needs to be fixed(thats what im hoping).
One other thing, when my connection drops in the menu bar and i select it to see which networks are availale, my network motorola8566 is not visible, another 'motorola9522' and 'wireless' network is?My prefered networks dont list any of these in system preferences. Then all of a sudden those other networks dissapear, my network is reshown and i can select it no propblems. What gives? Any help would be great, thanx in advandce

I have the same issue with my wireless connection being dropped. I have the most recent version of leopard 10.5.2 . The other macbook in this household also has 10.5.2 and has no problems with dropped connections. I tried resetting the pram which helped at first until I used my macbook on the battery alone the problem started to reoccur. Help?!?

Song titles are getting cut off for some reason

I never had this problem before but for some reason the last few songs I have imported and encoded into AAC have the titles cut off after (I guess) a certain amount of characters. This has never been a problem before. Is there a preference that I need to change? I'm running 7.0.1.8 for Windows.
I have many other songs with longer titles than the latest I have uploaded. This is a strange new occurence.
Thanks in advance

No one else having this problem I take it. Can't find any info regarding character length restrictions.

What gets wiped out if I sync my phone to iTunes

Sorry for starting a new thread with this. It is really a followup/clarification to another post, but that one won't let me reply/comment

By design, the iPhone will sync iTunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, or hard drive, your phone will see this as a "new" computer. The iTunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else,
The prompt from iTunes if very ominous. I want to clarify what it is going to wipe out.
We have two iPhones and an iPad. I don't know if either of the phones have been synced to iTunes on any of our computers. We use iCloud backup, so we have not felt the need to backup to our Windows PCs. When the iPad was first purchased, the version of iOS it had required iTunes to activate it. I think that was iOS 4. We immediately updated to iOS 5 and life was good. But that first activation was done on an old laptop that is long gone. Anything we do with iTunes and these devices these days, we want to do on my wife's newer laptop.
So, I say all that to clarify that I have no clue what system (if any) these devices are officially synched to. I just want to rip a seminar from an mp3 CD to my iPhone. Imagine my surprise when iTunes tells me my only option is for it to first wipe out my phone
I have the normal ton of pictures and a few videos I have captured on the phone. The normal ton of apps. And I recently entered the 20th century (yeah, still catching up) and purched a CD on iTunes on my phone. This is my first attempt at transfering music (really a seminar, an MP3 CD) to my phone. I have not synced any pictures to my phone from iTunes on any PC. But I have recently downloaded a couple pictures of my grandson from Facebook. Those all appear as if I took them on this phone. I also have the email client set up to access 4 different mail servers (iCloud, Gmail, AOL, work) and calendar set up to access work, Google Calendar, and iCloud. And a ton of contacts. All of that is backed up to iCloud.
So do I have anything I need to "extract ... using third party software"? Or will backup to iTunes on the PC get everything?
Is it really going to wipe out everything on my phone before transfering this one audio CD?
really disappointed at how difficult this is.

did you backed it up? with itunes or icloud backup?
