4.1.2 update on Galaxy S3 broke Tethering

does anyone have any idea how to fix this? ever since I updated, my laptop gives me an "unable to connect to (device name)" error. I have tried restarting both computer and phone with no change. Have seen similar forum posts from back in October when this version of Android was released on other devices.

Oh no Eugene78, I apologize that took place. You're correct, this usually doesn't occur and it sounds as if the SD card was corrupted. There are no suggested steps to recover the media. Are you currently having issues with stored data. If so, please send me a direct message with your mobile number so I may further assist! Thank you.

Update 10.1.9 broke my Acrobat 10 (Mac) - Boo!

I normally install all updates, both Apple and Adobe. I'm still on OS 10.8.5 (ML). Acrobat update 10.1.9 broke my Acrobat X Pro. Here's what no longer works:
Save As --> Reduced File Size - freezes, never completes - This is critical for the work I do here at this law firm!
Unsupported plugin from Molly Brown - Flatten All - (Working before update, but I understand its not supported) - Menu Items Removed (?) WTF?
I have had other issues, harder to quantify or describe, but it seems as if this update broke a few things.
I'm uninstalling now and attempting to roll-back to 10.1.8, through manual means. Yuk.
Not Cool. Please fix?

Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 Broke my mouse magnifier. I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install. How do I get rid of the prompts?

My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen. Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows. Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away?? It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014. I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse. I use that a LOT. I can't lose it. I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously. What to do?

Thank you I will try that. Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update? I didn't even know there was a more recent one.

Updated my Galaxy S4 today, and now it's completely unstable. crashes all the time.

Yeah, thats gotta be irritating. ...you may want to try to run it in safe mode.
Samsung Galaxy S4: Turn Safe Mode On or Off
This will disable any add on apps. If it runs in a stable fashion in safe mode, you know that it is just the way one of your apps is interacting with the updated software. If that doesn't solve things, I would backup and do a factory data reset.

Photoshop Touch update for Galaxy Note 10.1

Photoshop Touch came installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 at purchase. Is there a way to update this app as updates become available, or do I have to purchase the app from the Android market in order to recieve updates?

I had issues updating the app too. It's a little annoying to update the first time. Here's what I did:
1) Close your Photoshop Touch app.
2) Find the app that is called something like Samsung apps. It will run and then the app will disappear from your app list.
3) If it's already not there or once you complete step 2, find the app called GALAXY Apps and open it. This might require an update too.
4) Do a search for Photoshop. You'll get a bunch of options there. Be careful to not choose the app that you have to purchase. Find the photoshop app that requires an update. You may have to sign up for a Samsung account to update it.
That's it, you should be able to connect after that! Hope this helps.

Apple TV update to 5.1 broke ethernet functionality

I recently updated my newish Apple TV to version 5.1 and suddenly several apps stopped working:
I cannot log into the Apple Store.
Photo Stream will not connect.
I cannot log into my YouTube account, although the rest of the YouTube app works fine.
I cannot play any videos on Hulu+, although I am able to see my favorites.
Airplay does not work.
Netflix works fine for some reason.
So, the problem is not with internet connectivity. It's with several apps on the device.
I found a "solution" on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4352136
Unplug the ethernet cable! But that is NOT a solution. It's a temporary fix. If I knew that Apple TV was a wifi-only box, I might have bought a different box.
I haven't heard anything from Apple about this, and obviously based on the post above, a lot of people have similar issues.
I have a pretty standard network configuration with fairly new equipment: a LinkSys router, a Cisco cable modem, and Cox's premium internet connection service.
Apple, what's going on? Are you planning to push out a software update to fix this? Has anyone else found a solution other than abandoning ethernet?

Wow... So, I was using my Apple TV that was broken by the 5.1 update via wifi just until Apple releases a fix, but then after a half hour or so of watching anything on Netflix or Hulu+, the screen would go blank for a moment, then the device would lose its place in the show, returning to the beginning as though I'd never watched any of it. This kept happening, so finally I gave up and took the whole unit to my local Apple Store.
There, the Apple Genius told me that the unit was defective, and quickly exchanged it for a brand new one. I mentioned the problems caused by the 5.1 update, and he said he didn't think that was correct. He recommended that I apply the 5.1 update to the new Apple TV.
I foolishly took the Apple Genius's advice, and after setting up the Apple TV, I applied the update. The exact same thing happened as with my previous unit. So, this time, instead of returning yet another unit, I applied the 5.0.2 restore process as described in this thread by adam60 (thank you!) and now the unit works fine with the old software.
I will not even consider updating my Apple TV now until I've heard definitively from Apple that this is fixed.
I'm also pretty surprised that the folks at the Genius Bar here in Tucson seemed to be completely unaware of this problem.
I can hardly believe that we've still heard nothing from Apple about this. I've been using the full range of Apple products for more than a decade, and I've never experienced quite this level of crap in quality control/customer service. Obviously from these user forums, the update to 5.1 completely broke Apple TVs on quite a few folks' networks, yet nearly a month later no word has come down from Apple about any kind of fix or solution.
I can understand the release of a severely buggy software update; that's sometimes unavoidable at this scale. But then to remain silent while users post dozens of complaints on user forums like this is just terrible customer service. Apple products are often the best in their class, but if I'm treated like this much more by Apple I might settle for a less awesome product when I'm shopping for my next gadget just to avoid this sort of treatment in the future.

Why cant I install the latest update for galaxy note 2???

The latest update for the Verizon Note 2, which i guess is a Canada roaming update, can not install. keeps giving me an error message. Did everything, factory reset (which sucked), took out SIM, power down, etc. can i get rid of this alert?

@jacm79
I want to ensure you're able to enjoy the benefits of the latest software update for your Galaxy Note 2!
What is the exact error message you get when attempting the update? Are you connected to a WiFi hotspot or cellular data when attempting the update? Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

Kit kat update for galaxy note 2

anyone know when or if the galaxy note 2 will get the kit kat update?

Change your screen unlock to swipe and see if it comes up. Might have to reboot. The icon works by touching it and then swiping across the screen.

Minor Update for: Galaxy s4

Here's the Info: Via D.L. For 2 Galaxy Devices..
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/12/02/minor-updates-roll-out-to-galaxy-s4-and-galaxy-note-3-on-verizon/

Hi I have been reading most of these posts here waiting in anticepation on the release of the lolliop for the galaxy s4 since the rubbish update that was rolled out of Kit Kat. Sorry for my first post/reply here to be one of negativity but considering both o2 and Vodafone have now release this version of Android to the GS4 I think it to be very poor that EE has taken this long for them to release this update. What is frustrating me more is that I did not entend to update my phone to Kit Kat but the annoying nag screen kept coming up and althought I kept dismissing it, on one occasion, I was connected via WiFi to access the play store and as I went to choose this icon, the nag screen came up and guess what!! the install option was straight in line with the play store !. I really feel let down by EE at the moment as I moved off the last network hoping that EE would be better but it appears I was wrong. I cannot upgrade my phone because my upgrade period has not been reached either so I am stuck with a lump of plastic that was once a great phone on Jelly Bean and now a big lump of plastic with a shoddy battery life, slow to operate whether it is calling, texting or even just unlocking the phone!!!!!!. Please EE sort this upgrade out and please make sure it does not make the phone worse that the Kit Kat version Thank You TimCS

Hp printer update on aug 8th broke my printing capability

I have a MacPro running Lion... all latest updates.
The HP Printer Drivers release on 8/8/2012 has now made it impossible for print anything. I have an HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP.... which is connected via Ethernet.
Anything I attempt to print - whether from Safari, textedit, Microsoft Word, anything... the print options screen appears asking for what pages you wish to print, and once I click on "Print" everything freezes for about 40-45 seconds, then the application (Safari, textedit, Word, etc) crashes and closes.
The error report window appears with its usual info and saying it will send the report to Apple... and that's as far as I get.
I have turned Mac OFF, turned printer OFF, etc.
The sad thing is.... my wife can print to the printer from her Windows PC laptop.... but I can't print from the Mac.

Delete the printer and re-add it.
Then do a software update check before you try and print.

Updating to iOS 7 broke my Wi-Fi (and how I fixed it)

I have an iPad 2; it worked fine; I updated from iOS 6 to iOS 7. Immediately after updating, it could not connect to my home WiFi network (Airport Extreme).
All other devices on the network (MacBook, iPhone, iPod, Roku, Wii, wireless printers) continued to work fine. But his iPad would just keep spinning its wheel trying to connect. I did the usual, (reset Network settings, etc.) to no avail.
I called Apple Support (and had to pay for it). They said it was probably the antenna. They said it was beyond warranty.
I found it hard to believe that there was a problem with the antenna at the same exact time I did the update.
Here is what I did to fix it: I turned off the Airport password. The iPad 2 would connect fine! I tried an 8 character password; again the iPad 2 would connect fine. I then set the Airport back to its normal password (9 characters long), and the iPad 2 would no longer connect.
So I set the Airport back to 8 character password. And then had to go around, changing the wi-fi password on all the other devices on my network.
So the moral of the story: a 9 character Airport password will not work with iOS 7. An 8 character password does. I don't know about other lengths.
I hope somebody finds this useful.

My Airport has a 10-character password and I've had no problems.
Perhaps you mistyped cap/LC?

Flash Builder 4 update 4.0.1 broke flash builder...

Good morning,
I updated to the latest Flash Builder 4 build this morning, 4.0.1 (build 277662) and when I launched flash builder I'm greated with the following message in the package explorer:
Could not create the view: Plug-in "com.adobe.flexbuilder.as.editor" was unable to instantiate class "com.adobe.flexbuilder.as.editor.ui.packageexplorer.FlexPackageExplorer".
I've rebooted my machine to see if that helped and it did nothing. I am running Mac OS 10.6.4
Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, Microsoft acquired Teamprise. I tried deleting all 'features' and 'plugins' related to Teamprise in Eclipse to no avail. I finally just removed FlashBuilder 4 and re-installed. The new download from Adobe installed 4.01. I then installed The new "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010" Eclipse plug-in. You can get it here and the install guide is here.
Free upgrades will be available for qualifying existing Teamprise customers. I am currently running "Trial" version" until I figure out licensing. Anyone?

Can I stop a device update? Galaxy S5

Couple of months ago device update to Samsung s5 hosed up phone. Got new phone today and it's trying a device update. How do I stop this!?

Hi Thank you for your question!
I'm sorry you had some bad experience with a software update. I can definitely understand why you're hesitating, but OS updates are very important, they improve performance, fix bugs and add new features. While in some rare cases some users reported issues after installing an update, they're usually very safe and it's a good idea to keep your device's software up to date.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Dmitriy

[Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support. It had been working since installation several months ago. I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.
Checked output of groups to ensure I'm in the storage group.

Hi,
I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
Anyway, I will try your solution.

Alexander
