Kaltura & MediaSpace Documentation
Thanks to Jonathan Ropp and Hamza Munaf, the Kaltura/MediaSpace FAQ documentation has all been moved into the TDx KB.
OSU_Unsecured Issue Resolved
The OSU_Unsecured network was introduced this term to allow dorm residents to connect devices that require open wifi (since OSU_Access is no longer available in OSU housing). Some devices were still unable to connect after registering. This issue has been resolved as of 12/11/2018.
Old MacOS Issues
As of Feb 1, 2019, Microsoft OneDrive is retiring support for Mac OS 10.10 and 10.11 (Yosemite and El Capitan).
Also, the most recent iTunes update breaks Safari for macOS Yosemite.
We have a substantial number of Community Network-supported Macs running very old macOS versions. If you receive a call from a CN customer on anything older than Sierra, we need to help them get upgraded. Scheduling an appointment is probably advised, but if the customer wants to attempt an upgrade, check that their computer supports the latest OS, and remind them to backup their data first.
