Tech Help. Want to Unbridge Actiontec Fios Modem, Reset Does Not Help

I successfully bridged my Actiontec Fios Modem in order to use a third party modem as I was looking for faster speeds. {And did get them with the Wireless N modem]. However, did not realize I would lose remote dvr search functionality. So, all I want to do is get the settings back to how they were previously - no third party modem, no bridge, just good old slow Verizon hardware. I have numerous times went into the Verizon modem settings and restored settings to default. I have also held the reset button on the back of the modem for 30 seconds for a hard reset. This does not work. I still have an orange light indicating no internet connectivity. I did call Tech support, but of course their systems are down and the guy was no help whatsoever to walk me through it manually.So, in the meantime only way for me to connect to internet is to redo bridge settinigs and use third party modem.
Any help would be great.

If you've done a hard reset on the Actiontec router and still have an orange internet light, one of the following is true:
A bad connection bewtween the ONT and the router
A bad ONT
A bad router.
BTW, the Actiontec is a ROUTER, not a modem. FIOS does not use modems.

I cannot use it. I can get calls and text messages but I can't respond because the screen is locked and I can't "slide to unlock" because the touch screen does not work.

Mac Pro 5,1 Fans full throttle, SMC reset does not help

Hello Community,
i have the following issue:
- Mac Pro 5,1
- Latest Firmware; no SMC update available
- Fans (of case, not graphics card) running full throttle as soon as OS X is active (installed or in a installation phase).
- During boot up, fans run at usual speed/silent.
- SMC reset (according to: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support) does not help the issue, nor did resetting PRAM.
- Removing mainboard battery did not fix it.
- Resetting the battery using the onboard switch did not fix it.
- Detaching components and reattaching them (RAM etc.) did not fix it.
- Detaching device from Power for a prolongued period did not help.
- Apple Hardware Test AHT (off the original installer disk shipped with the device) tells everything is healthy.
- Having clean installed OS X (both:latest releas and also orignal version from original grey installer disks) did not help.
Then: installed MacsFanControl which allows for checking each of the sensors and each of the fans. using them one by one as a control for the fanspeed, which always succeeds: every sensor delivers meaurements, every fan reacts to adjustments of rotational speed.
BUT: As soon as you choose to let the SMC do the job of controlling the fans, fans switch back to full speed again.
All this after having installed VMWare ESX 5.5 on the machine and then having reverted to OS X 10.10.1/2.
Looks highly like SMC won't get properly reset or may some setting is written where SMC reset does not operate?
Any hint would highly be appreciated since i'm not sure whether i should trust this machine which is meant to act as a server.

Hello Community,
the above phenomenon turned out to be rooted in s.th. completely different & unrelated.
Obviously there is a system's preference for the 1st PCI-E slot for the RAID controller to be connected to.
You actually may well plug the controller into slot 2 and 3 as well, and the system will then still boot, even after having moved the controller to a different PCI-E slot (after having installed the OS!), but always the SMC will react like described above. Still not sure what the aforementioned symptoms actually indicated (jsut "irritated" SMC or SMC flat out inoperable) - time's too scarce to investiate this any deeper, sorry...

My ipod classic has frozen on language screen going to restore or reset does not help

My Ipod classic has frozen on the language screen. Resetting ipod has no effect and going to reset of restore on I tunes also has no effect. Anyone with any ideas.

If restoring has not helped then it is a hardware problem and you will need to get it serviced.

Bluetooth: Not Available / PRAM RESET does not help

I can see that many people have been having issues with BLUETOOTH going off-line since the last software update, but the solutions are working for me.
I have restarted x2, resetting the PRAM, but the problem persists.
Also, BT is not showing up in the system preferences, however when I search for it in Spotlight, it says it's there. I attempted to reload the BT app but the installer won't allow it since it thinks I already have the most recent version installed.
HELP!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I have one of the last PowerBook G4 15" 1.67Mhz. Everything is fine except Bluetooth, which works for a while then drops out. I'm using an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard, which work fine on several of the other Bluetooh-enabled Macs here, which include several G5s, towers and iMacs. On this unit, the Bluetooth icon will disappear from System preferences. I have to restart to get BT working again. Systen Profiler says I have Bluetooth but that it's "disabled." When I run the Bluetooth Firmware Updater, it says there's no Apple Bluetooth installed! I've paired the same Apple peripherals with a Powerbook 15" running Panther (X.3.9) and that unit runs BT fine.
The unit has been back to Apple twice, both times replacing the logic board, along with the Bluetooth card. Probelm persists. I've done the usually PRAM zapping (waiting for 3 chimes), reinstalled the operating system, etc. The problem persists. I've seen postings here and there that suggest there's a Bluetooth bug in X.4.6 with the Powerbooks. Apple should acknowledge this and fix it.
I continue to call Apple about this and they blow me off. Any other ideas?

MBP dead after sleep - SMC reset does not help

The MBP was used for watching a video in the car the other day, was put to sleep by closing the lid, and now it won't come on again.
When I press the button on the battery, two dots light up, so I guess there's enough battery left to start it. However, when I connect the power adaptor, the charging light never switvches to orange - it stays on green.
And a press on the power button dosen't do anything.
I tried an SMC reset without success.
What now?
Please tell me there's other things to try?! I've recently had it for repair twice. Once because the keyboard connector beneath the battery needed to be reseated (I changed hard drive at the same time) at last week the NVIDIA video card problem had to be fixed (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377).

They took it back, changed the logic once more, and now it seems to work again. Hopefully a little bit longer than the 24 hours the previous one worked.
It seems like all programs runs unaffected although the whole logic board is changed. I believe that I would have had to reinstall everything if I were on a Windows machine, at least that's how it worked a few years ago.

HT4236 I want to delete photos from my iPad but this help page does not help, when I click on devises a pop up for photos does not appear.

I want to delete photos from my iPad . But the help page does not help. When I click devices a photo pop up option does not appear

The instructions in HT4236 are as follows:
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
No where does it say anything about a "photo pop up option". When you click on your device icon a panel with many tabs appears. One of these tabs is "Photos". You are supposed to click on the "Photos" tab.

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

IMac 20" 2007 display dims itself for no reason; "calibration" does not help

Using a 2007 white plastic iMac with 20" screen and 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, running OSX 10.6.8.
Has worked fine since being purchased many years ago.
Recently a user "did something" (she can't remember what) which immediately caused the screen to become a bit dimmer. Whatever action she took, it wasn't something complicated -- she just accidentally struck a single key or clicked on something in the main Finder window. She was not fooling around with System Preferences or anything like that.
Since that moment, I have not been able to successfully get the screen back to full brightness.
Obviously, I have tried pressing the "brighter" and "dimmer" keys on the keyboard, and those do make the brightness go up and down, but the top brightness setting is much dimmer than it used to be. All the way to brightest setting = still noticeably dimmer than normal.
And obviously I have tried using the "brightness" slider in the System Preferences > Displays > Display window. That also does indeed adjust the brightness up and down, but as with the keyboard brightness keys, the highest setting is still too dim.
Readjusting the "Calibration" in the System Preferences > Displays does not help, even when going into Expert mode and adjusting every little aspect of the screen display's default settings. Those all seem to be about color balance anyway, not about brightness. I now have three different new calibration settings, and clicking back and forth between them and the default setting makes no real noticeable difference. Whatever setting I choose, it is still dimmer than it should be, even though in all my attempts at calibration I tried to make it brighter.
Key detail: NEITHER THE SCREEN NOR THE BACKLIGHTING IS BROKEN OR DYSFUNCTIONAL
I know this is true because the following thing happens consistently:
When I put the computer to "sleep," and then wake it from sleep by pressing a random key or moving the mouse, the screen comes back on and momentarily it is at full brightness, but then "remembers" whatever mysterious settings it has, and then visibly dims itself.
So the screen has the physical capability of being fully bright -- it's just that some System setting is telling it to be dim.
Why? How can I change this? It is practically rendering the computer unusable. Help needed ASAP.

Did you try running the computer from a copy/clone backup of the system?
How about a testing with second Admin user account? Or, secure erase &
a complete reinstall of the system from scratch? (With full backup in archive.)
Check to see if there is a weak or dead PRAM battery on logic board?
In your other similar thread, there were issues in replying to there based on
problems with this site. A different reply was botched, and lost, so there it
is. Then a followup didn't appear. But it may still, though not what I wanted.
There still can be a hardware problem, not matter what someone else may
have done with the settings while using the computer. Several builds of the
early 20-24" Intel-based iMac had various graphic issues. Hardware failure.
So that is unfortunate that even after significant time attempting to resolve
the issue or the symptom, you haven't gained much traction. The time may
have arrived to consider my suggestion to seek Apple trained specialists
in an AASP, to look into this matter from a diagnostic standpoint. And be
sure you have complete backup (clone, plus timemachine, etc) beforehand.
Good luck & happy computing!

OS X Mavericks installations fails after reboot, stuck. Safe mode does not help

Quick Summary: Installation of Mavericks gets stuck after reboot, no safe mode boot, only recovery console works.
Update: Currently following procedure http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US
I have upgrade 4 out of my 5 machines, but the most important iMac 27" mid 2010 went through with the installation and then got stuck on a grey screen with the apple logo and a spinning wheel for 6 hours.
A few restarts did not help.
Started from recovery a new download and install. But it ended up in the same end.
Trying safe mode/boot, but does not finish
Going back to recovery and try repair disk, does not help
Going to recovery using terminal resetpassword and then setting the permissions for all login accounts back, no good.
Going to recovery and using terminal to check /var/log of the mounted Macintosh HD.log shows at the end "The installation was successfull"
System.log shows
com.apple.kextd: Failed to send personalities to the kernel.
Error: Couldn't send kext personalities to the IOCatalogue.
Exited with code: 71
Throttling respawn: Will start in 8 seconds.
Resetting NVRAM/PRAM and reboot, waiting so far stuck but I still hear some disk activity, waiting a little bit longer.
Any help?

Do you have a Recovery HD from your previous systems?
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Look for another Recovery HD, although you need the OS 10.9 one if it's available. If it's not, then you will need to start over from scratch by erasing the drive then reinstalling 10.9.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
