5 of my lightning cables stopped working; they are after market cables

All of a sudden I get an error message that my cable is not certified amnd may not work reliably with this phone. I have 5 cables that do not work and 2 that do. I have been using these cables for a while with no problem. Is this an Apple issue? Did they just decide to do this? If so, I am no longer an Apple customer.

Lightning cables need a chip in them to make them work properly. If these are not made properly, they could damage your iPhone. FOr this reason, Apple lienses the making of those cables, and if they detect an unlicensed cable, they feel it's better to not allow it to be used than to allow it to damage your expensive hardware. I appreiate that they are protecting my iPhone from some company who doesn't care if it gets damaged by their crappy cable.
I like an expression I saw recently "If your head is only worth $10, tehn wear a $10 helmet when you ride your motorcycle." My iPhone is worth more than a $1.99 cheap knock-off cable to me, so I will use the proper cable to charge it, as I have done since I got it on Sept 21, 2012.

HI i have tried so many times to import images, both pictures and video from my hard drive to elements 131, and it keeps coming up with the error message " .....has stopped working we are looking for a solution to this problem etc " please help!

After taking days to upload elements 13 I am now having trouble even trying to import my images and videos into the program for editing. Each time I IMPORT files an error message comes up that says " ....has stopped working, we are looking for a solution to the problem and will notify you if a solution is found" I have not been able to edit ANYTHING or even drag files/images to the time line.... is it me? is my computer too slow? surely if it was, then Adobe elements 13 would not have installed in the first place? please someone help me sort this out as I have a deadline to make for a docco! thanks in advance Lyddy

Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

Does it freeze with other type of cards. Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!
Windows XP

I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

I downloaded 2 apps to my iphone, but neither one will work, they are app to find sateillites for directv when we are traveling in our rv. They areSAToolzdtv and dishformyrv /find satellite.

If you open the Kindle app on your iPad, then in the bottom right-corner should be an 'i'' button - touch that and you should then get a pop-up with the top option being Settings, which should then allow you to link it to your Amazon account and let you download any kindle books that you've already bought.
Edit : corrected above to 'bottom right-corner'
There is also help for the app, including 'Managing Registration', on Amazon's website :

PC Suite stops working with Bluetooth after Laptop...

I use PC Suite and Bluetooth to connect to my Phone. I use the Synchronise, and the Messages feature a great deal. It all works great after a reboot, and I think it's a real credit to Nokia that they provide this free and improve their standing compared to other manufacturers.
However, the latest versions of PC Suite have taken a backward step in hardware compatibility. Previously, no matter what state my laptop was in - ie rebooted, returned from hibernate or standby, the laptop would connect to my phone over Bluetooth, and synchronizing would happen. When my phone went out of range, the connection would drop, and when it came back into range, the connection would re-establish and synchronizing would start again - wonderful!
Now, this only works after clean reboot, and after I have manually clicked on "Get Connected". After my laptop returns from standby, if I try "Get Connected" I get the error:
"Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available. (Code: OpenMedia)"
To get PC Suite working with Bluetooth after returning from standby I run a Repair, after which it works beautifully.
Is this a known fault? I have uninstalled and re-installed PC Suite and the BT Stack as recommended in other posts to solve other issues. My configuration is:
Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
Nokia PC Suite: Version 6.82.22.0
Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba v4.00.23(D) SP2
Bluetooth Specification: Version 2.0, 1.2, 1.1
Many thanks...

Thanks for your response Miksu. You have pointed me to the right place. It is the connection manager that fails to recognise the BT stack that causes my problems. This is always resolved by a repair. It seems that the order of initiation is very important which may be why Luist has started to have the problem.
In my experience, once things stop to work, I've had to strip out any subsequent installs.
My PCSuite also stopped working after it installed cable connection manager (or something like that) without me asking. I found it in Control Panel->Add/Remove programs. I removed it and PC Suite started to work again, so I completely removed PC Suite then re-installed, and allowed it to add the relevant devices relating to my phone (about 4 devices alltogether) but alas this did not solve my "return from standby" issue. I think I need to remove PC Suite and then Bluetooth, and maybe something else before re-installing - I'll leave that for a rainy day.
Thanks again Miksu

Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

Hi all,
I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Guillaume

Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

Starts to load homepage, then Windows message: "Firefox has stopped working" All this after a Firefox update

Directly after an update, Firefox will no longer start. It begins to load my homepage, then fades away with the Windows message "Firefox has stopped working"
Looking at Norton security history, I see it blocked plugin-container.exe about the time the update was being downloaded.

I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but here's what happened to me:
One day when I opened Firefox I got a prompt for updates. I got upgraded to version 3.6.16. That was over a week ago. This morning, I opened Firefox, got a prompt for updates, clicked ok, and I ended up upgrading again to 3.6.16. Norton gave me a notification about some file being used by fewer than 100 people and having "medium risk", but I wasn't able to take any action, just read.
Once that upgrade went through every time I tried to open Firefox, it'd pop up, I'd click no to "Do you want Firefox to be your default browser" and then it'd go white and freeze up. I'd get a message from Windows that there's a problem, Firefox has stopped working, it will be closed. No information was sent regarding the problem.
When I'd open Firefox I'd see two tabs: one about the upgrade to 3.16.6 along with an invitation to upgrade to version 4, and another being my homepage to yahoo.com.
I also have Internet Explorer, so I opened that, went to Firefox's website and downloaded version 4. So far that has taken care of the problem~I can use Firefox again.
However, I did have a couple small difficulties while downloading version 4. Right off it would not immediately start running. That was blocked by my Norton. So I had to click on "click here". Also during the process I got a message about two add-ons being incompatible, so they were disabled, and no updates could be found. They were: Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1. and Norton Toolbar 4.6.
I worried it was a virus but it seems like more of a compatibility problem involving maybe Norton? I have the 2010 version and haven't upgraded to Norton 2011 yet.
Anyway, like I said, so far version 4 is working fine, but I thought I'd pass on the incident.
