Messages stopped working after 10.9.5 update

As of my 10.9.5 update (ref APPLE-SA-2014-09-17-3 OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and security update), my Messages application will only connect using Yahoo and Bonjour. I have several Accounts configured in Messages:
(1 x iMessage w/@me.com address; 1x AIM/AOL w/@aim.com address; 1x Jabber w/@jabber.com address; 1x Jabber w/@jabber.org address; 1x Jabber w/@chatmask.com address; 1x Yahoo w/@yahoo.com address; 1x AIM w/@me.com address; 1x AIM w/@mac.com address; 1x AIM/AOL account w/out any address; 1x Jabber w/@facebook.com address; 1x Google Talk w/@gmail.com address; 1x Jabber w/@lightwitch.org address; 1x AIM/ICQ account; 1x Bonjour account)
Out of all these accounts - All enabled in preferences - Only two are usable when the Status is set to 'Available'. All others say "Offline". Yes my internet connection is working! I have tried quitting and restarting the application... What else can I do?

Hi,
I would go to the Preferences > General section and Untick the items that says to show all accounts (Buddy list ones) in one list.
Then in the Window Menu I would use the items or the keystrokes to display each Buddy list.
If you have more then 9 (It only offers Keystrokes 0-9 and 0 is the Messages main window) then you can only use the Window Menu listings.
This will tell which of the Enabled Accounts is actually Logged in. (From your Post you seem to be at this point)
Then you can use the current Status wording in the Buddy list to make it "Available" if it will log in if it is not.
For all the AIM Logins I would check SSL is being used and that the port is 443 (5190 still works)
Sometimes it pays to Turn Off and Account and manually activate it again if it has been dropped by an SSL server.
GoogleTalk will also accept Logins on port 443 (normally 5223) but SSL needs to remain.
If turning Off the Enabling this Account and then re-Enabling does not work do this:-
IN the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box.
Once there find both com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChat.Jabber.plist and drag them to the Trash.
Restart the app (they will be recreated.)
There is no list for the iMessages Account.
Other than using it there is no way to find out if it is logged in or not.
However still try the Disable/ Enable On/Off method.

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone.a

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone. I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work. What do I do?

After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
enjoy free web..... :)

IPhone 5S home button stopped working after iOS 8.3 update

My home button stopped working after I updated it to the iOS 8.3. My finger print can still unlock the phone but the home button won't work.

What you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local apple retail store and have the device evaluated.

Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

Mail is totally dead. It does not connect to the internet. Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them. No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update. The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
But now I have no virus protection.
This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after 10.5.8 update

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with my keyboard after I updated to 10.5.8. More specifically the CMDOPTRight combo used in Firefox and Textmate (and possibly others) has completely stopped working.
I've checked it with the Keyboard Viewer and whenever I press this combo nothing happens. Strangely enough, when pressed in any other combo these keys work fine. I have installed no new software, installed any other updates or changed any existing keyboard combo and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.
It's not the end of the world but any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

It's alright, I've managed to create a workaround using Quicksilver custom triggers.

USB Ethernet stop working after 10.7.5 update

Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0. After that, my sound stopped working. If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops. When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference. I know other people are experiencing similar problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

Isight Stopped Working After Installing Quicktime Software Update

This afternoon when I logged into my Macbook, it automatically detected new software update for Quicktime. As always, I let the computer download and install the software. However, this time it created a lot of problems for me. First, I couldn't connect to my network (I use Airport Express) although the signal was strong. After reset modem, router and Airport, finally I could get on network. However, then I found out my Isight stopped working. The light on the right side of the built-in camera was always on (green). My Photo Booth screen appears green all the time. I no longer can use Skype video chat. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Can anyone help me out? I use Macbook, the operating system is OX 10.4.3. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
• About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
• About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

Magic keyboard stopped working after latest OS X updates (June 2013)

My iMac: Just performed the latest OS X updates (M Lion) that appeared sometime late May or June 2013. I think the updates were some camera updates and iTunes, and some other things that needed a restart of the computer. After reboot the magic keyboard (that came with the iMac) stopped working. I couldn't enter the password on login screen. Funny thing was the keyboard seemed to be paired with the computer, as the light buttons and the volume buttons worked, but only them, nothing else responded.
Even trying to restart/shut down the computer did not help. Actually shutting down the computer did not work, the spinning thing spun for a while and then the login screen reappeared. No progress.
Fix: In the end I hit the physical power button and forced a shut down. After booting up, the keyboard worked again.
Maybe this can help someone.

Eric,
Sorry to hear that but my aluminum Bluetooth keyboard for my 27" iMac is working fine after the Supplemental Update.

Help! The secondary click on my trackpad for right and left bottom corners stopped working after 10.9.3 update??

MacBook Air 11" 2013...did the OSX update for 10.9.3 on 5/17/14 and my secondary click on my trackpad just stopped working. Checked the system preferences and tried the other corner found it doesn't work for either bottom corners for secondary clicking. It will pull up the secondary click menu when I have the "two finger tap" option selected, but I don't use that one at all, it's not a natural function for me.
I tried doing a hard reset 3 times and that didn't do it. Then I reinstalled the combo update for 10.9.3 and that didn't work either....
... ..any ideas??
-lost without a secondary clicker

The full release of 10.9.3 is available from App Store now. You can re download the full version from your Purchase tab in App Store. After download there will be Install OSX Maverics in Applications folder. Before installing OSX on top of the one on your system, copy the a install aoSX Mavericks to your external drive or any location. You can copy it to Applications folder for reinstall after that if you want.
The new download will be 10.9.3. Before doing so, please try to boot into safe boot, by holding shift key and power on. Try your secondary mouse click to see if it work. If it is the same, then it will be driver corruption, try reinstall will help.

Q10 keyboard stopped working after 10.3.1 update

Hi everyone. I did the 10.3.1 update on my Porsche 9982 today and all is great. I did the update on my wife's Q10 and the keyboard stopped working. I have pulled the battery a couple times but still not working. I dont even know if I can restore to factury as I am not able to type 'blackberry' in the screen to do the reload. Any suggestions? This was a Q10 that was used for beta testing but is the newer model. Help

I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

FireFox stopped working after I tried to update my settings

I have just built a new computer; x58 Gigabyte, 920 cpu, windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox and everything was working great. I updated my bookmarks and everything still worked fine. I tried to update my personal settings by copying a file in my personal folder and Firefox stopped working. "Can't run because it is already running". I rebooted, no help. I removed and reinstalled no help. I am at your mercy please don't make me use Internet Explorer
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== today ==
== User Agent ==

Is there a '''parent.lock''' file in your Profile folder?
If so, delete that file.

Remote App on my iPod has stopped working after 7.0.3 update

Remote App used to work well, instantly connecting to my iTunes library (V10.5.2 on OS X 10.5.8), but after updating my iPad 4 to 7.0.3 it has stopped connecting.
I have re-started my Airport router as Apples tech docs suggested, and re-started the machine that the iTunes library is on. Neither has helped. I have also turned sharing on and off in iTunes a few times but nothing allows the iPad to show up under devices as it did previously.
The iTunes library will share to other computers on the same network running 10.6.8 and 10.8.5.
Under devices nothing is shown.

Found the problem. The iPad was connecting to my guest network rather than my main network as it is supposed to.
