After 4.1.1 update, can't use my stock earphones

Immediately after the 4.1.1 update, my stock Samsung earphones stopped working.
I believe this was caused by the update for the following reasons:
My earphones worked immediately prior to the upgrade
My earphones worked on my wife's S3 before she upgraded
My earphones no long work on my wife's S3 after she upgraded
My wife's stock earphones no longer work on her S3 after she upgraded
Now, when I plug my earphones in, I see the "Earphones connected" message on my phone. I can listen to music but the controller no longer works with the Music Player. When I make a phone call, the sound is transferred to the phone's speaker and no one can hear me through the earphones mic.
Has anyone else experienced this issue after updating? Does anyone know a fix or a workaround?
Please advise. Thanks! Noah
PS. VERIZON, I HOPE YOU CAN OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THE 4.1.1 WAS RELEASED WITH SIGNIFICANT BUGS THAT HAVE BROKEN CORE FUNCTIONALITY. AND, PLEASE, DON'T TELL ME IT'S SAMSUNG OR GOOGLE.

Hi nbardach,
I know how important using headsets are. They make multitasking so much easier. I searched through many forums and even tested this on a SIII with the update and was unable to get this trouble to duplicate. I find it so odd that both your device and your wife's is having the same exact trouble. Do you have other headsets available to test? Have you done a battery pull or inserting and removing of headset while on a call to test? Please let us know of the steps you've taken so we can determine the root cause of this.
Thank you,

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears...

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears... I am getting frustred!

I don't know if this helps, but I experienced a similar issue with my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7.
My "solution" to the problem, after pulling out my hair for hours, is to plug it in the wall charger, and then shut the iPad down completely. It does charge when turned off, although a bit slower than usual, or so it seems. Pheeew...:-) I realize that this is a pain if you have a problem with an iPhone, because you have to turn it off to charge it. Presuming that this works, of course. Otherwise, I don't know..
After the update, the iPad simply does not respond when i plug in the charger, nor does it connect to the USB port. The battery just keeps wearing down. I think it could be connected to the firmware change that iOS 7 brings, which I guess in itself has to do with Apple wanting to block out 3rd party manufacturers of power adapters of the new "lightning" type.
The only thing I can think of that might have gone wrong on my part concerning the update is that I didn't have it plugged in while installing the update - although I believe this is recommended from Apple. I'm thinking that in my case the new firmware update simply hasn't registered any adapter present upon installation, and that might have caused the iPad to not recognize an adapter at all, regardless of type. I have always used original Apple adapters, btw, so I'm not really guilty of anything other than not plugging it in while updating - or, at least that's my own theory. Which is better than no theory at all.. ;-)
Obviously, I'm waiting eagerly for Apple to solve this issue. Not really happy at all with this..

I have a 3.06 Ghz Intel cor 2 duo 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. Which update can i use.

Yosemite. Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download it from the Mac App Store.
If desired, you can instead buy a download code for Lion or Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store.

HT4718 after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use Pro Tools ***

after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use my pro tools, and none of my iTunes files are there. what the ****? I want to revert back to snow leopard.
PLEASE ADVISE!!!! I'm in a panic!!
I was very happy with Snow Leopard, and then I tried to get an app to design my Christmas cards. The computer told me, i had to upgrade to Mavericks to use it.
Now everything is a complete disaster!

I was not prompted to make a clone, so i dont have one. I downloaded an upgrade of pro tools that is alleged to work with mavericks, but it does not.
I can't find any of my music files, iTunes downloads, documents, etc... But, all the software i purchased to work within pro tools is there. Im so confused.
Im PC, i have never downloaded an upgrade that made all my files disappear. This is totally unacceptable.

Hi choon hun,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities; I'm sorry to hear you are still having print issues. If you have gone through the above linked article completely without reaching a resolution or a direction for further troubleshooting, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

After charging iPad completely I can only use for a few hours of games or searching web and I have to charge it?

After charging iPad completely I can only use a few hours and then I have to charge it all over again?

Games can be very taxing for the iPad and thus drain the battery quickly.
How many hours does the battery last? What games are you playing?

[PROBLEM SOLVED] After last update, Can't use keyboard in Xorg

Apparently the last system upgrade installed "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-1-i686" but I reverted back to "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686" and everything is working again.
Lesson learned: put all xorg related packages to hold because my geforce2 mx440 won't need updates.
This is just frustrating. After doing a system upgrade (which upgraded xorg to version 1.5) I can't use the keyboard anymore. In fact, my screen would freeze also, as long as I was using the latest Xorg version. This machine's card is a geforce2 mx440.
So I downgraded xorg-server with pacman -Rd xorg-server and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-yadayada1.4yadayada; Fine, I can use the mouse and open X just as normal as before. BUT the keyboard seems helpless.

Perhaps you can find some help here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging (or in one of the many threads about xorg 1.5 breaking input devices)

Nokia 6233 - after update can`t use any Pic`s for ...

Hallo Everybody!
After Firmware Update to 5.10 i can`t use any pic for mms. I get only a white screen and the phone reboot.
Before i update no problem with pics.
The Update was an original from nokia with the nokia updater.
Any Idea`s?

Try the following:
Try it without the memory card in using a file from phone memory.
Factory reset the phone (you can find this in the settings menu).
Run the updater again and see if it gives you the option to reinstall the update.
If that fails to work then you need to visit a nokia care point and ask them to reflash the phones firmware.

Problem with Coolbook after 10.6.2 update, can't reinstall it

Coolbook doesn't work after updating from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2. When I open it, it says "This update requires a reboot" no matter how many times I reboot. I can't use it, and I also can't uninstall the driver to reinstall it and see if that corrects it. When I try to uninstall it through the preferences pane, it says "failed to uninstall."

See if this helps:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

After upgrade of iPhoto I can't use it because it says I need OSX 10.7.5 and I have 10.7.4 - Can I undo the upgrade?

I did a suggested update yesterday for iphoto. When I wanted to use it today I got the message that I can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X. I 10.7.4, the application requires 10.7.5
How can I reset iphoto to the version I can use?

Why not update to 10.7.5?

Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

Can't use third-party earphones

Does anyone have problems using a third-party earphone? I tried using my Bose earphones and Sony earphones which are supposed to work with the I-Phone, but no luck. The earphones that came with the I-Phone works.

you most likely need the adapter.
