Having trouble with 10.4.6 update - ipod and isight issues

Hi everyone.
Got my first mac a few weeks ago, and ran a host of updates all at once, so to be honest, I'm not sure which one is causing the problem.
However, since running the following, my built in isight no longer works, telling me "no camera is attatched or it is being used by another app."
I ran the updates whilst my ipod was connected (via USB), and now my ipod is not being recognised at all, in itunes or on the desktop.
I've tried turning off, unplugging everything, deleting all 3rd party apps, but all to no avail.
My main question is, is this a known problem and will a further update sort it, or do I have to contact apple and send it back?
Thanks for reading this, and thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers, Ben.

"iWeb Update" (1.1.1)

Some sucsess so far.
If I plug the ipod into my hub then it seems to work fine. But both my ipod and an external drive don't work through the other two usb ports. I'm assuming that that must make it a hardware fault, but odd that it should only occur after the update!?
I'm currently backing up everything, but once that's done I will try different devices through different ports.
The isight is the built in one though, and doesn't appear in system profiler. Once I've backed up I might try reinstalling photobooth, imovie and ichat. If that fails I might reinstall os x.
Does this all sound resonable?
And thanks for the help! The speed and quality of the replies have really impressed me.

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

    You installed adware along with something else.
    You can either follow Apple's manual instructions for removing it, or use the free automated tool, AdwareMedic.

    Which operating system are you running? Not sure, click the apple on the left of the menu bar, the click about this mac. It will say version 10.6.x or 10.7.x.

  • I am having trouble with itunes connecting to the ipod software update server

    I am having trouble contacting the ipod update server.  I just recently updated my computer with the vista service pack 2 and did necessary repairs but for some reason my itunes will not connect to the server nor to the online itunes store.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    On rare occasions, the message can be caused by LSP trouble. If that's afoot, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • I'm having trouble with PFI 24..31 signals and can't program to higher drive

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble setting up my PFI<24..31> signals on my PXIe-6556.  According to the specifications, I can drive these signals to +/-85mA.  I have not been able to achieve that using the static PFI method using NI-HSDIO.  I see the voltage dropout rather quickly.  Using a 500 ohm resistor to ground on this signal, the voltage collapses from 3.3V to 3.0V with only approximately 6mA of current across resistor. 
    What am I doing wrong?

    To explain the circuit, it is simplified a 3.3V power rail connected to the 50 ohm output impedance, which acts like a series resistance. Given this, we do not behave like a LDO or a current supply, and any load connected to the line is going to behave much like a voltage divider rather than a regulator.
    The case of tying the line directly to GND, you will see 3.3V / 50 ohm to get 66 mA of output current. The only way to get the full 85 mA is to tie the line to a -0.9 V reference, which is not very practical I understand. Talking to a HW engineer here, the spec is mainly based off the buffer we use and what it is capable of. I think it makes more sense when it is understood that the line is bidirectional, and it can source/sink 85 mA when being acted upon by an external circuit.
    Given all of this, I think it won't be suited well enough to drive a 500 ohm load to the specifications you need. You'll need to have some external circuit that can source 85 mA, or another device such as an SMU. The PPMU on the 6556 can source 32 mA (and beyond, we are not current limited, but anything above 32 mA is not within specification and sustained operation outside of spec could damage the board over time). You can use the PPMU as a source, since it acts more like an SMU and has a sense feedback loop to regulate a voltage/current on the line.
    Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully you have enough information to move forward. Thanks.

  • App World issues. "having trouble connecting to BlackBerry App world Server" and "installation issue"

    Hey.... I hope this isn't just repeating the 'same old' issue, but I have read through everything I could find and I am still having no luck.
    Anyways I am having a few issues.....
    ONE/// When I try to go to "My World" on my Playbook it always comes up with the message:
    BlackBerry App World is having trouble connecting to the Blackberry App World Server,  Verify your network connections and try again.
    One solution I read was to connect to an alternative WiFi connection, however I haven't got any other connection I can connect to before switching back to my own.... help?!
    TWO// There are also two games I have been desperately trying to install but have had no luck.  Each time all I get is the following message:
    Install Error. There was a problem during Installation.  Please try again.
    I have read the KB26671 file, and tried to follow the 'resolution' there but whenever I log in I never get any 'account set up process' to continue with..... let alone what the rest of the guide says to do.
    THREE// Not sure why but when I try to use AppWorld on my PC it won't show me my playbook device, simply says "please connect your device".... help?  According to my playbook it is connected to computer, and my PC is picking up the Playbook as the manager always tells me it is there and lets me view the files but still AppWorld can't seem to see it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I was just trying to see if it was your network connection. I have found that lately anyhow, the connection to the App World hasn't been that reliable - not sure why and it's just been recently for me. But I have downloaded some pretty large files in the last few days too without issue.
    Sorry, this isn't much help but if you find your network connection is becoming flaky, remove the profile and setup a new one. Sometimes I find I have to briefly shut off my internet connection on the PlayBook and then re-enable it when it's acting up. Then things are fine afterwards. A device reboot may help but it may not. I wish I could be more help but this gremlin sounds elusive.
    Actually, duh, why didn't I put two and two together eariler? See if this thread is applicable to you or not: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/PlayBook-not-letting-me-update-apps/td-p/...
    In short, reboot your PlayBook and try again...

  • Help! Having trouble with camera app after update to iOS 5.1.1

    I'm having a big problem with my Itouch. I've never jailbroken it or any of that crap. Here's the deal. I just updated to 5.1.1 and I tried to record a video but whenever I press the record button it starts recording but can't press it again to make stop. So, press the menu button then I tried going back to the camera app then I hit record now this time it just freezes!!!!!  

    My IPhone 5 camera is locked after the new update!

  • Any one else having trouble with IOS 7.1 update?

    Since I have installed the new update my phone has been very slow.. The internet is slow I get kicked off my apps and my phone use isn't the way it was with the last update. This update was supposed to be better but I think the last update was far better than this one. Anyone else agree? Or how can I get the last update back?

    You can't get the old level back. iOS 7.1.1 is not slow on my iPhone 5. You will have to do some troubleshooting to find the cause of your trouble.
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • HT3529 Is anyone having trouble with their iMessage since updating to iOS 6?

    Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 6 I have had trouble getting my iMessages to work. I have wifi signal but when I try to send an iMessage it will not send and I cannot recieve any either. I didn't have any trouble before I updated my OS. Does anyone have any idea's on how I can fix this? I've tried resetting my phone and removing and readding my email address in the Settings; General; Messages; Send & Recieve. That worked for a few hours then it stoped working again.
    I am stationed in Africa right now and I would use it all the time to stay in contact with my family back home.

    I have this same problem....was hoping maybe it was just my music library today so I could listen to some music but it happens with pandora too .....    Sure hope they send a fix quickly!

  • Having trouble with Asha 305 after updating

    Hi....
    I have a problem since i updated my Nokia Asha 305. I mean a major problem like....
    The phone supported some MP4 videos in the previous version 5.92 .. But I updated my phone to Version 07.42. Now I can't play any MP4 Videos... Plzzz tell me how to fix this problem.....
    Moderator's Note: We have changed the title into a subject-related title. This is to keep the forum organized and let other forum users easily see and respond to this post.

    @Abhirit, the software update removed the support for MP4 files due to the phone freezing while playing most of the MP4 files.
    As it is completely impossible to downgrade the OS on these S40 phones, you are left with no option other than bearing it up. You cannot play MP4 videos on your phone anymore.

  • HT1414 I'm having trouble with my ipad security update

    I did the security update and now all I get on my ipad is the words "itunes" with a pic of a cord attachment. 

    What did not help ? Not sure what you mean by 'look at this for me', but these are user-to-user forums.
    You've connected the iPad to your computer's iTunes via the cable ? Did your computer's iTunes recognise the iPad ? If if did then did it not prompt you to reset/restore it ? If not then have you got the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

  • Anyone else having trouble with previously purchased apps updating?

    My iPhone and iPad apps are updating correctly, however, within iTunes on mac (latest versions of all 10.9 Mac OS X and 11.1.3 iTunes), hen I check for updated apps, I receive the message "all apps are up to date." I know this message to be false as my phone just updated several apps and the version on my Mac is a few versions behind. While not a big issue (I don't use the apps on my Mac, only on my iPhone), it begs the question of why this is happening and if this is broken, what else isn't working correctly? I appreciat any help and responses. Also, I've already tryied clearing the iTunes cache and also rebooting (in case any of these "standard" responses apply).

    I frequently get my connection is to slow for play.
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Try again.

  • I'm having trouble with imessage since I updated the software

    My husband is receiving all of my imessages even though our phones are set to send/receive from the individual phone numbers. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? He has the 4 and I have the 4S.

    This can happen when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.
