IPOSSIBLE TO TOGGLE ON-OFF APPS

Hi,

ReadyNAS 104 f/w: 6.0.4 (i apologize in advance for my language, but this crap of 6.0.4 is driving me nuts)


After weeks of struggle, I finally got the APPs running, well sort of ...
My problem now is to toggle the apps ON and OFF. It's completely random.

I click ON and then I got this STUPID RETARD window :

"the state of the service has been changed. This process may take more than 3 minutes. Please wait."

That's one of the dumbest message I've had got to read! And on top of that.. there's only an OK button.

Should I click OK and wait more then 3 minutes?
Should I wait more than 3 minute before I click ok ?

I tried both, with a 15minutes wait.. NOTHING ! I've managed to properly switch twice.. no idea how or why.. And it's not specific to an APP.

This readyNAS gui/system is really getting on my nerves... it's SLOW dodgy unreliable... it's just a shame...


Am I alone with this problem?

  • Nope, after 2 weeks of struggles and wasted time and the OS behaving oddly I packed it up requested a RMA from Newegg for refund and back the 2nd RN516 went. I have never in my life been so frustrated with a piece of technology ever.
  • I'm actually considering that option as well.

    OS/apps slow as hell, buggy, genie+ is a joke, I'm getting fed up with all this...
  • I'm only using the included bundled apps for now... but what I'm seeing isn't encouraging. I too have been stymied by an app that says it's OFF even though I can plainly see it running and access it. I just don't trust ROS6 yet...
  • worked after a second reboot...

    will see how it hold up..
  • It's like 8 out of 10 attemps to toggle an APP on, end up FAILING !

    This is soooo annoying! Most apps end up closing themselves every other day, so Toggling App is needed very often, AND FAIL MOST OF THE TIME !!!

    Any advise, anyone ?


    All I get is a spinning icon .... never ending spinning....
