10.4.11 -- A fix for broken brightness/volume keys

Simple answer: Reboot again
I ran into this issue myself on my iBook: that after doing the mandatory reboot after the 10.4.11 update, the brightness and volume keys on the internal keyboard would no longer work.
This seems to be an issue for a few people, going by my initial googling of the issue, so I thought I'd drop a note in here to suggest people do another reboot before pulling out their hair.

BDAqua, no I haven't. I should probably do that again now.
Is that related to these kinds of issues, or is that just some general maintenance advice?
Edit: Ah I just saw your advice in [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1307351&tstart=0]. Cool.

IDEA 4 SIMPLE FIRMWARE FIX FOR BROKEN HOME BUTTONS!! SEND TO APPLE FEEDBACK

Apple, as you know many people have had problems with their home buttons on their ipod touches and iphones. I have figured out a simple fix to broken home buttons.

Please make this happen.

Fix for broken tool cursors in PS Elements 7 with Windows 8.1?

I have Photoshop Elements 7 and have been perfectly happy with it for editing photos/images as a hobby on my older Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs. I have no real need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12. I just installed Windows 8.1 on my new Surface Pro and now all the tool cursors in PS Elements 7 are broken. Reinstalling PS Elements 7 did not work. All the tools which use an actual graphic for a cursor appear distorted. What can I do to fix this?

Generally that's caused by the system dpi scaling
(the triple cursor effect)
Go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Make text and other items larger or smaller
Then try adjusting the size to Smaller
You might have to use Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays and use the Custom sizing options and choose something like 124% or 149%

Universal Fix for Broken clients, which can be deployed through sccm or can be run on the machines individually

Hi Friends,
Often the service desk gets laptops from employees on which the client is broken or not getting policy updates
The Deskside team tries few steps
Reinstall the client using the cmd line
Run the "OSprovision" utility to add the machine back to domain
Run the "OSD Collection Utility " to Add the machine to a collection
However the sucess rate is less, i believe due to few reasons like, the OS image is old, missing pre requisites etc
so firstly i would like to know what all it takes to make the Client healthy, what all need to be checked to make sure it meets the pre requisites
Work around to fix the client, by remoting into the computer
Eventually i wish to build a Task Sequence which can be deployed to a collection, which will check the following
Does the computer meets the Pre requisites, if not it will install/reinstall the missing/corrupt pre requisites
installs/reinstalls the client ( wish to know how to execute the command line via task sequence, also if there is any other procedure to do the same )
runs the web based utility "osprovision" to add the machine if it has fallen out of domain
Adds the machine to appropriate collection utility
checks to make sure that the client is working fine after install/reinstall and is getting updates
Most importantly it should skip all the above steps if the client is already healthy
I am a new bee to the sccm, however i understand the concept, Please bear with me and help me step by step to complete this task,
also your idea's are most welcome for any updates/changes
Regards

If there was a magic bullet to keeping clients healthy, then keeping clients healthy would not be an issue.
However, ConfigMgr 2012 does have a a built-in client health tool called ccmeval -- this is run using a scheduled task on client systems every day and does a very good job of keeping clients healthy.
Using a task sequence or anything directly deployed by ConfigMgr won't work because its a catch-22: how is the ConfigMgr agent supposed to run a deployment if it or a dependent component is not healthy.
Other things to keep clients healthy:
- Don't give users local admin privileges.
- Beat users that hard shutdown or reboot systems (this is IMO the number 1 cause of client health issues)
- Get rid of XP
- Use client startup script that supplements ccmeval

Home fix for broken usb mini port? (Zen Xtra 40g

I bought my zen xtra from a friend about a month ago, and it was in perfect condition. Recently it wasn't being recognized by my computer, and then the usb port on the player slipped into the casing. (I think it wasn't recognized by the comp because the port was starting to slip, which wasn't providing a solid connection) Anyway, I was wondering if I could buy a player from e-bay, one of the ones with a broken hard dri've or something, and replace the peice with the usb port? Is this something someone with a bit of knowledge of tinkering with electronics could do? I haven't opened the case to look yet, I wanted your opinion first.. I was also wondering, if I do buy the parts from e-bay.. can I use the parts from a 30 gig player or does it have to be the 40 gig? There are tons of parts for 30 gig players on e-bay, and not many for the 40's.... any help would be appreciated.
-MArk

Yep, you can certainly do this (although eBay's always a risk). The best thing to do would be a swap of the hard disks. Rudi Cheow's guide has some detail about dismantling a Zen, but this is for an earlier player. The Xtra is a little different, but not a million miles away.

Fix for Broken Bookmarklets in OS X Lion

In case this saves someone a little time...
Safari 5.1, with Lion installation, broke some of my bookmarklets.
Seems the offending code was trying to return if a condition was met.
if (x) {
window.location.href = %22http://apple.com%22;
return;
Removed the "return;" and all is well.

I thought I'd take a moment to outline OS X's fullscreen mode in relation to Photoshop's Full Screen Modes and explain why we stuck with our Full Screen Mode in the near term:
Here's the short story:
If we replace Photoshop's Full Screen mode with the native 10.7 full screen mode, then our users will loose the following functionality:
The ability to use multiple displays while in fullscreen mode
The ability to switch between different document windows while in fullscreen mode
This in not something our long time users have said they want to give up.
That said, we're pretty excited about full screen mode in Lion like you guys are, and it's possible that Apple may change the full screen mode in OS X in the future to include this functionality in the future – and we'll continue to evaluate if it meets all our users needs.
Here's the longer story with more details:
Photoshop's full screen model is a per display mode. This means that in multi-displays configurations, some displays may be in Full Screen Mode while others are not. Photoshop's full screen display can can also contain one or more document windows. When a display is in Full Screen Mode, then all document-windows on that display will be full screen when they are brought forward. Photoshop's model has two full screen modes: Full Screen with UI (including the OSX menu bar) and Full Screen without UI (in this mode the OSX menu bar is hidden).
The native full screen implementation in OS X 10.7 is a single display mode. When you enter fullscreen mode on a given display, then all other displays become dark (and windows are hidden on dark displays). Dark displays can contain UI for the active application (but not documents).
When you enter the OSX fullscreen mode, then a new (temporary) Space is created for the fullscreen window. Only a single document window lives in this new Space. This means that you cannot switch between different document windows while in fullscreen mode (command-tilde does nothing).

Magic Fix for broken IPod

Was going crazy trying to sync my Classic. It would get hung up on verification then tried to sync. i could not fix it until i decided to plug it into a pc. I then restored it to the pc format then plugged it into my mac and restored it to my mac. Works fine now.

I guess you've posted in the wrong part of the forum, this was the ipod touch section
But nice to know, that sometimes it is helpful to have a PC as well

Any fix for the low volume on the Nexus yet?

Volume is really low have been buying new ring tones that are louder in an attempt to hear phone, but no hope for the notifications.... Did not have this issue with other phones.. Any suggestions?

I have Volume + too, primarily for the phone speaker which is nearly inaudible depending on the source video you're watching. It does noticeably increase the volume at the speaker, though bass through this app doesn't work on ICS, at least for now, but I'll take the volume boost over the bass boost.

How to fix a broken right arrow key

My macbook pro is still fully functional, and so is the right arrow key. I can push the top of the key and it will still, you know, register (if that is what it's called). But, it feels like a pin isnt attatched underneath the key. Apple instructed me to go get it repaired, but i really dont have the time. If it is a simple repair, i will do it myself. But, if no one has a clue, I will just go repair it. Thanks guys!

See here maybe some help, if no help bying in to an Apple store for a free diagnosis.

Whats the button for between the volume keys?

On the side of my E71 theres three buttons, volume up and down, and a middle one. What the heck is the middle one for? I havent got it to do anything yet.

If you hold it down for 2-3 seconds you will hear a funky tune and see a "speak now" dialogue on the main screen. It's for voice commands which you will have previously assigned to caller names. So for instance, if you wanted to call John, you would hold down that middle button and say "John" into the phone. The phone should recognise this and will phone John automatically meaning you don't have to fiddle around with typing the number/name in using your fingers. Also good if you are in the car.

Toshiba Thrive Tablet Broken Headphone Jack Fix For Audio Line Out

BROKEN HEADPHONE JACK SIMPLE FIX FOR TOSHIBA THRIVE TABLET:
I love my Toshiba Thrive tablet. I take it with me everywhere I go, nearly every day. I also enjoyed connecting the headphone output jack on the side to an external set of speakers. I would enjoy stereo internet, video watching and so on. I recently broke (cracked) the headphone jack on accident. For months, I heard only through the small, factory installed speakers which, is not quite what I'd call 'ideal stereo.' Has anyone else done this? Despite trying to find repair shops locally, no one will touch a tablet it seems for repair or replacement parts. It's not your usual headphone jack. But - I can tell you how to get your sound back!
THE QUICK FIX
While browsing the internet, I found a device that by-passes the headphone jack and instead uses the internal workings of the Thrive tablet's main connection port. This port is located at the base of the unit. It will be covered by a protective, plastic tab that is removeable. Simply pry a little. This long narrow port was designed to allow you to set the entire Thrive tablet into a docking station designed for it. In this docking station are various connection pins that allow the audio to be sent out of the tablet and into the docking station. At the rear of the docking station you'll find a host of connection types: 1) audio out jack/headphone 2) USB 3) HDMI 4) 110v power supply. Simply plug your speakers or headphone cable into the new docking station and you're done! Your audio will work again. I purchased my docking station for $6.00 on Ebay. Oddly, the unit doesn't charge very well if at all while in the docking station but I've read you can simply remove the cover from your Thrive, remove the battery physically for a few minutes, return it to it's rightful place then close the cover and this fixes the problem. It's a strange little glitche. I have yet to try this yet. I did find that if I plug the cord directly into the Thrive right side as designed, it will recharge the battery as usual. I ordered a few of these docking stations which allow me to simply set the pad down depending on where I am and it will continue to charge. The docks do not come with power outlet so you'll need to consider buying additional but it works wonderfully. There are now even wireless docking stations too!

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If you iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.
