After updating to OS X 10.5.8 my cd-drive does not work.

I just installed OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on my 1.25 GHz eMac and the cd-drive was working great. Then after letting it install the 10.5.8 combo update the drive quit working. If I manual open it and place a cd in the drive it will read, use and eject the cd with the eject key on the keyboard. If no cd is in the drive it has to be manually opened.
Leopard does not even have my drive listed in the disk utility. It is listed under about my Mac.
I have found several threads on this forum with the exact same issue as I am having, but have not found a resolution to the problem. If no resolution is found I will have to reinstall Tiger.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Did you repair permissions after doing the update? Those updates move a lot of furniture around and I find a lot of mis-set permissions after applying most Apple updates.
NOTE: Starting with about 10.5.6, DU started belching all sorts of meaningless lines of permission repairs. You may not be able to tellwhat's mis-set as the spurious messags tend to hide the real repairs, but let it run anyway.
If that doesn't restore function, a PRAM ZAP may help. The computer may have lost tack of some of its devices in the update. Rare, but can happen.
If that still gives no joy, you can add an eject icon in the menu bar. If that works then at least you avoid the manual opening. Here's how:
(instructions are for Tiger but should work in Leo):
Follow this path: Macintosh HD -> System -> Library -> Core Services -> Menu Extras. Inside the Menus Extras folder is a little file named Eject.menu. Double-click that file and you get a handy eject icon near the right end of the menu bar. Clicking/holding it is exactly the same function as the eject key on an Apple keyboard.

TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

After upgrading to OS 10.9.1 Aperature 3.2.3 does not work and I'm not able to download new version of Aperature.

After upgrading to OS 10.9.1 Aperature 3.2.3 does not work and I have not been able to download upgrade of Aperature?

Is Aperture installed in the "Application"s folder and simply named Aperture? If not, move it back to "Applications". Did you buy Aperture from the App Store or as a boxed Retail version?
Relaunch the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID (in the Store menu). Reload the "Purchased" page of the App Store. Do see Aperture on the Purchased tab or perhaps the "Accept" portion of the "Purchased" page? If in the "Accept" portion, accept it to your AppleID and install it. Else look again at the Update page.
For some forum members the update did only appear until after setting the primary system language to English and rebooting the Mac. This bug is supposed to have been fixed with the update to 10.9.1, but try it, if all else should fail.

CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
"windows was unable to complete the format"
So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
waiting for the help !

Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:
+Why does my CD/DVD Drive not work after upgrading to Windows 8?+

You will need to uninstall the Toshiba programs:

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other...
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
in the iTunes Store.
The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
Can't recommend them enough.

After updating to iTunes 12 the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed, I use Windows 8.1, how can i solve this?

After I updates ITunes to the latest version (12), ITunes wont find my iphone and Ipad anymore, after searching I found that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed anymore, on the support website of Apple it doesnt explain how to solve this,.
I use Windows 8.1 and so now also ITunes 12, both my Iphone 4S and Ipad Air have the latest IOS version.
I hope anybody can tell me how to solve this that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is back, thank you

Found a possible solution for me.
While the phone was plugged into my computer and iTunes is CLOSED.
1. I went to Services in Windows.
2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".
3. Then I right-clicked again and selected "Start".
4. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked my iPhone with the yellow alert icon and selected "Uninstall". You will get a warning about uninstalling the device. Click OK.
5. At the top of Device Manager I clicked the Action menu and selected "Scan for Hardware Changes".
This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.

I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

Thanks for your replay,
Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨ but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
any way, this new version is ok..
thenks a lot

Updating extended fields in SRM Business Partner Web Dynpro UI does not work

Hey community,
I'd like to extend the SAP SRM Business Partner Web Dynpro (SRM 7.13). I did it like in SAP Note 1386310 described. Everything works fine, the fields show the correct data. But updating these fields does not have any effect.
I only want to extend the existent fields NAME_ORG3 and NAME_ORG4. I did the following steps:
- Because of the fact that the fields are existent and not custom, I skipped the extension of structures INCL_EEW_BUT000 and INCL_EEW_BUT000_X (ok, in utter despair I even tried this, but of course I got the message "fields already exist...")
- I added the 2 fields to the SRM business partner data transfer structure INCL_EEW_BP_CSF_COMPANY_DATA.
- In Web Dynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_MODC_NAME, view V_PS_OIF_NAME I added the fields NAME_ORG3 and NAME_ORG4 to the context node COMPANY_DATA
- I added corresponding Input fields and labels to the WD layout.
- in view /sapsrm/v_mdfsbc I customized the new fields
-> the new fields are visible in the WD, and, oh wow, they even show the correct data!
-> Unfortunately, updating the fields does not work, but000 does not get any data.
Debugging the function "bupa_central_extincl_change" brings up, that function BUP_MEMORY_BUT000_GET gets a but000 structure with filled NAME_ORG1 and NAME_ORG2, but NAME_ORG3 and NAME_ORG4 are empty.
I also regarded SAP Note 1453747, but the code was already right.
Any Ideas? Many thanks in advance!
Steffi

Hi Stefanie Krause,
I am also facing the same problem
I added the one fields "APPROVAL_EMAIL” to the SRM business partner, data transfer structure '/SAPSRM/S_CLL_BP_COMPANY_DATA ' . I have appended the structure.
I added corresponding Input fields and labels to the WD layout.
-> the new fields are visible in the WD,
-> i am able to visible the input field in WD,
But if add some value press on next tab and back to the screen the value will be refreshed .
Kindly help me
Thanks and Regards,

I have seen this before. You need to update the apps in your app store, and once they are updated, they will work again.

After updating iso 6.1.3 in my 4s my phone is not working properly

After updating iso 6.1.3 my 4s is not working properly the main problem is touch is not working properly and battery problem also there pls anyone have some solution

IOS 6 has had a lot of issues to date. I have a possible solution to offer but I cannot be sure it will work. Two ideas.
1. Reset the phone: hold the lock button and home button in at the same time for 10 seconds. This does nit erase anything, it's basically like rebooting a computer.
2. Factory reset: Hook up to a computer and go to iTunes. Sync the phone (if possible). Once synced, in the summary screen select factory reset (or may be another name, I'm working from memory) it's right beside update software. This will completely reset the phone, you will need to restore it after the reset it complete. I don't know if this will help you, but it may. I hope you can fix it, good luck!!!

After updating to new version of Firefox, my paid for RoboForm will not work. What should I do? I MUST have it working. Thanks Jane

Yesterday I downloaded the new version of Firefox as suggested by you. Then my paid for version of RoboForm , which always has worked, would not work. I MUST have it working. What can I do now to solve this crucial problem? PLEASE send detailed info so I can follow exactly. Thanks, Jane P.

You need version 7 of RoboForm for Firefox 4. Version 6 will only work with Firefox 3.6.* or earlier.
If you have version 6 this may be viewed as a method to generate income by Roboform in forcing users to update to version 7 and not offering updates to version 6 to make it compatible.
An alternative free password manager that works with Firefox 4 is Lastpass - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager
If you have version 6 of Roboform and need to use it you will have to downgrade to Firefox 3.6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
