4gen Touch docking issues just started
Okay I've been using my 4gen Touch since it came out on a portable Bose dock and a Monster FM transmitter without any issue. Now suddenly neither will work? Want gives?
Remember that the % battery is not accurate. Apple does not provide a % batter for the iPod so do not put much faith in the changing %. What yo want to look at is how long the battery lasts after charging to 100%
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Just hear what they have to say.

Intel Imac - Dock Issues / Program Start Problem
Ive has my intel based imac for about a year with no issues. I got 1 Virus type of thing a like 8 months ago but that was deleted without issue.
I have a problem where I would click a program in the dock and it would not open.
Anyone have any idea what might be wrong. It eventually started working btu i am concerned as to what the issue is.
thanks.I have no idea what the actual problem was but I can offer an observation my experience with WIndows switchers. When you launch a Windows program a window is opened that covers the entire desktop, this isn't true of a Mac program. If you close the last open window of a Windows program it quits the program, this also isn't true of a Mac program.
These two facts often cause switchers into confusion. Say you were using Word on the Mac and closed your last document window. Being new to the Mac, you think you have quit the program but you haven't, it is still running. Later, you click on the Word icon on the dock to restart Word - but Word is already running. You don't get a new document window so you think Word didn't restart and something is broken. But what really happened is that Word was forced to become the active application when you clicked on its icon. But that's all clicking on the icon does.
Two of my top pieces of advice to new switchers: A Mac program is quit by selecting the Quit menu or keying Command Q. Closing the last window doesn't quit a Mac program. (With a few poorly programmed exceptions.) And pay attention to the top left corner of the menubar. It tells you what application is active.
This is what I think you experienced, but I could be wrong. -
Safari 5.1.7 on my MacBookPro OSX 10.7.4 freezes unexpectedly. This issue just started. Any ideas?
Safari 5.1.7 on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.4 freezes after a few minutes of loading. Any ideas?
Hi ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn''t help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click Details then click: Remove All Website Data
If that didn't help, might be corrupted Safari preferences (.plist)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
Tip: Disabling the Lion "resume" feature will help to avoid caching issues in Safari.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
If nothing above has helped, go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And try troubleshooting Safari unsupported plugins. From the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security
Deselect: Enable plug-ins. Quit then relaunch Safari. If that made a difference, follow the instructions here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues -
Some news web sites will not fully load. MSNBC will only show the head line and advertisers. CNN and Fox show a text only version with very limited pictures and the same for . Durdge report loads fully as will the Chicago Trib. seems like only certain news sites are subject to this partial display. have not seen this on commercial sites.

New issue just started earlier tonight.........
Why does my status bar at the top of the screen (with my wifi signal indicator, clock and battery life) disappear when I open the mail client? This never happened before. What gives? Very very annoying.
Hi,
Try restarting your iPad. If the problem persists, restore the iPad.
You may have an app that's causing the status bar glitch.

I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts?
Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.

After Effects just bounces in the dock but wont start
Hi all,
Just installed CS4 production studio under Snow Leopard. All works well and updated using the Adobe Updater. All apps are fine except AE which just bounces in the dock a few times and then stops. I read that this could be because Rosetta was not installed. I installed Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD and still nothing. Have restarted 3 times just in case (I also read that several restarts may be required to get it to work), but still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
DaveOK... Now I feel like Scott of the Antartic writing in his journal before the inevitable... I am writing this purely to help anyone else with the same issue to resolve it without the pain that I am still experiencing. Hopefully the last entry will read "all solved" and not "I am about to pop outside... I may be some time..."
After using CS2 for the bulk of my work I thought I'd try and get this solved once and for all, especially as we have a DVCPROHD project coming up and need CS4 to do it.
OK... The so now I have the suite running, except Premiere is running under at trial without the presets and the updates fail when installing. Contacted support this week, they wont re-open the original case because it has been over a month. Fair enough, new case.
The adobe guy takes control of my machine, deactivates it, then from Finder deletes lots of folders. He then asks me to re-install the products. I do this (2 hours later) and run Premiere and it appears to work with presets. I look a bit closer and notice that under the help menu of Premiere Register, Deactivate and Updates are all greyed out. This is not the case in the other products of the suite. OK, so not a major deal but does imply something is not installed right. I run the Adobe Updater, Premiere updates, but AE, PS and several updates fail.
Call back to support. This time the Adobe guy takes control of my machine suggests I deactivate the suite, run the un-install and then download and run the CS3 Clean script and re-install. I do all this. Another 2 hours later feeding discs into the machine... and... Premiere looks fine, presets all there... but wait for it... AFTER EFFECTS JUST BOUNCES IN THE DOCK BUT WONT START.
3rd call back to support and ask for the issue to be escalated. This is difficult and I have to cause a fuss to realise that this problem is the same one that has been hanging around for months and that I am not prepared to spend more hours removing every trace of Adobe from my machine and re-installing - this doesn't work. The support technician asks me to delete a hidden folder that has all the Adobe patches in it, manually download the AE 9.0.2 update and install it. It installs but AE wont start. I explain that I've had enough and want the problem escalated.
I finally get a call back from a 2nd level engineer this morning. After explaining the that AE wont start and then answering the question "why is this a problem for you!" we do some quick troubleshooting. This time I have to pull out the network cable, turn off Airport, create a new user account, log on to it and then see if AE runs. Which it does. Within seconds we get launched into the pre-determined script, "if it runs under another user account then there is nothing wrong with the applications and I should call Apple". After being patronised for a further 5 mins I had to PROVE to the guy that it was also possible that the fault was Adobes. I also know the moment I phone Apple, the response will be "Call Adobe".
The only example I could give him at the time was to image a piece of software I had written that allocated memory based on the screen resolution (this is a user preference) and if my code was badly written and crashed when encountering a screen resolution bigger than my code was expecting. OK, is that Apple's fault, no it is my code. Will it run under one user and not another, yes it will. There are a million other posibilities. Some I agree could be Apple's, but equally some could be Adobes and the big fat fob off as soon as you can is terrible.
I have also since realised since leaving this call with the technician, that:
1) This is a brand new iMac and the Adobe Suite was the 1st piece of 3rd party software installed on it.
2) The iMac is for video editing and nothing else.
3) This was working without presets before the Adobe guys deleted all these files and asked me to re-install. It is more likely that they have deleted something they should not have rather than the a bug in the OS. A bug in the OS is still possible but I suspect the problem is with a rogue bit of installation code from Adobe.
Finally incase anyone from Adobe is reading this:
I have paid thousands of pounds for this software.
I have been unable to use it for months.
A problem like this should be gold dust for you. Here is the chance to get to the bottom of an issue that several people are having, understand the mechanics of what is going wrong. Write a KB article as well as a patch and this would save the time/money and effort of an awful lot of people (including your own).
As a short thought experiment I would like everyone at Adobe to image the following:
You pay £1,000 of your own money for a tool to do your work on the promise that you can make this money back in productivity gains, new business, etc.
The tool you use every day to make a living won't work. For the benefit of the experiment, imagine this is your email client, web browser or case management tool.
You have no IT group to replace your machine or to come and solve it.
You can't tell your customers that your software is down and you have to keep doing your job.
You have to spend an additional 3 days in your own time, working late or weekends to try and fix the software yourself.
You to keep downloading a Gigabyte of data 3 or four times and you have to pay for downloads. Currently you are running up a bill of over £100 in downloads and phone calls.
You don't get paid the overtime and your customers start complaining you are late with your work.
You lose customers... you eventually get fired because you have lost too many of them.
...This is what it feels like for a small creative business to not be able to install the software they bought. -
I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"
If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
I have done a restore to back up per the Apple guy that was nice enough to help me at Best Buy. Basically it is totally unusable as I don't even touch it and it just starts typing. I told my husband it's like it is possed. Any ideas?
iOS 5 does slow a 3G iPod somewhat but not the way you describe. I would try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the problem then it apears that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?
You might want to consider "voting with your feet" and taking your business to another bank. When they tell you the upgrade is the problem, it is really their problem and not yours. If you don't want to do that, the suggestion that you try another browser is absolutely correct.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%. -
