After upgrade to 10.4 thumbdrives/cdrom/ethernet port do not work

so after upgrading a powerbook from 10.2 to 10.4 thumbdrives don't automatically mount and cdroms don't show either..
I can go through disk utility and mount the thumbdrive manually .. but then when I take it out and put it back in it does not work ..
in the finder menu preferences .. i have select to show all items in on the desktop ..
is this some kind of library or permissions issue
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4)

I tried this after a nudge from Carolyn Samit.
It was a bit trickier than that: I had to delete the current icon in the Dock and then move the Address Book app OUT of the Applications Folder and then it opened. Then I put it back and all is well.
I have since discovered all sorts of "gray" .apps (like PhotoBooth.app) that won't open through the Applications folder. But it will open from the icon in the dock. Hmmmm. Is this a Library thing?
Thank you, Carolyn, for getting my Address Book "back" !

Hello,
After upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 templates not working properly in smartform, although value is flowing to the point the template is getting called and inside the template there are text elements where placeholders are kept to display the value, when the print is taken there are no values being displayed by the text elements.
Please note - Text elements doesnot have any conditions present in the condition tabstrip.

Hi,
After the upgrade, you will have to do the security upgrade.
Please follow these steps.
1. Go To SU25
2. Run step 2A to 2D.
3. In step 2C, you shall get the list of all the affected roles.
Click on first role. It will take you to authorizations of that role. Click on the "New" tab there to find the new objects added to the role after the upgrade.
Note: You can open the same role in the unupgraded system to check.
4. Provide the access to the required authorization objects.
5. Disable the unwanted authorization objects.
6. Generate the profile.
7. Follow the same steps for all the affected roles listed.
Please note that you will have a list of new objects added.You need to maintain them inorder to avoid any access issues.

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out. There is no function at all.

Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo. It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits. If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem. At least it did for me. I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

After upgrading to maverick my epson WF-2540 scanner will not work. There are no upgrades showing so what do I do?

After I upgraded to Maverick my Epson WF-2504 scanner will not work. There is no software update showing necessary either. I have gone to the Epson website but it doesn't offer a download. It tells me to go to "software update" ??? Any suggestions?

Thanks Arthur,
I was hoping for a good bubble bursting, but I tried that HP "update" as soon as my printer stopped responding. I really really wanted my bubble popped.
One needs the Apple supplied driver for this work. It will not work because the driver to basically function on the updated Mavericks is not supplied by Apple Updates, so the HP driver that stops printing an extra page is rendered useless. I spent, wasted two days going back and forth between Support threads, HP chat and on the phone, through all the Mac channels where I was told that the 2011 HP was antique. HP said Apple had the drivers. So, they pointed a finger at one another with this unlucky customer caught in the crossfire. HP said Mac did it and Mac said HP did it. BOOM ! goes the guy in between who spent a good bit of money to have good equipment. What is wrong with expecting a printer to last beyond 3 years, or for a back up drive to last more than 3 years?
I do appreciate the attempt to help though. It was here in Discussions where I was guided to the gimp driver, drivers which in the past always worked when needed but in this case something wicked about Mavericks prevents it from working. No matter how many times HP says it works on their site all you have to do is try and then speak with customer service to find out that in a parellel universe this may logically hold. It does not hold here. If it were the case that by working in Lion it would work in Mavericks then there must be something wrong with me. But why, APPLE, is it that one day it works, do the update and then it does not when Lion was the previous OS? I did Everything, every single thing recommended by people who had good ideas and wanted to help but all too often the facts tell us nothing of the world. Facts are tools used to decieve, the world is where it works or does not work and in this case Mavericks has cost me close to $300. Probably not a big deal in some cases, but money is money. When it is gone it is gone.
I followed the complete uninstall, going into library and removing all HP, then restarting and lo and behold HP driver for 4500 not only was not present but along the way my 500gig back up drive died, as in dead, nothing.
Of course I will not buy another HP product. If you go to the list of drivers Mac says it carries the HP Officejet 4500 wireless may be present but is not carried by Apple. I have tried Apple update over and over. What I have done is wasted my time and money. In one fell update I lost a printer and a back up drive. No storms, no loss of electricity, no boogie men lurking, no malware, no gremlins, nothing but an innocent customer updating when Apple said "update". Sure it is serendipity that both my printer and back up drive died on the same day at the same time following the Mavericks update. Who am I but a loyal customer? I must be stupid because my equipment stopped responding after the update. It is not new that there are bugs and glitches following updates. I was a beta tester for OS X, it wiped my computer clean, but I understood, it was beta.
A friend told me the same about planned obsolescence in that since printers are cheap and ink is expensive they don't really care about customer satisfaction. Three years old is antique, out of date. We should and must all be angered by this hatred for the customer shown by manufacturers across the board. Blaming the customer is ridiculous and absurd but not unheard of, in fact it has become the rule of thumb from the other side. The customer is innocent. All we want is to buy premium equipment and to have it behave in a manner befitting the cost. I am an Apple user since 1994. I designed a restaurant on a 333 mhz black and white Mac. You know, the big floppy disc one. I am not new to Apple. Fiercely loyal for 20 years. This is the most angered I have been by the flippant attitude shown to us all.
Thank you for giving the links and hopeful advice. I tried them all when I first had the troubles. The good people in discussions, not the Apple plants, but the users, tried their best. I thought that by coming back later there would be updates and new links that would help. But no. Maybe one day. HP lost a customer, it means nothing to any of the manufacturers when a customer is ridiculed by their cynical attitude towards the customer. Maybe there will be someone else to come along here that has had similar experiences and found a way to fix. Used to be a gimp driver could do the trick. Used to be a way. I fear we lose control of our equipment more and more every day. This is not a rant. It is a somewhat sad expression of having been ripped off. Discussions here have helped in the past but the more things advance the less we matter. And as in the past when I was mad about an Apple failure a member sent a fix and I printed the fix for others to use in return. We help one another in the best of ways. Please spread the word, maybe there will be a fix to show up here sometime. I kissed my iOmega back up drive and the 500 gigs of writings, photos, backups and music goodbye, gone forever, poof! But the HP printer is still here on my desk. I don't want to give up hope.

My ethernet port is not working

I recently had my macbook sent into the store to repair a bad logic board (fried in a thunderstorm) and over the past month I have noticed that my ethernet port wasn't working. Before the storms our router was acting up so I figured our maintenance was working. When I noticed the bandwidth slowing I checked my ethernet connection only to find I have been using wireless this whole time.
Now I'm not sure if the apple store technicians (it was actually shipped off site to be repaired) checked the ethernet port when I last sent it in because from my knowledge it was working before the storm and I had never checked it afterwards.. I really don't want to be charged another $200 to fix a problem that could have been fixed during the same time as my previous work order.
I also had a bad experience with their timely service, my macbook was there for about a week and a half with no progress on anything when it was supposed to be shipped off site and when it finally was shipped off site it took a matter of two days to be fixed. That would have been two weeks less than my month turn over for this repair.
Any help or suggestions on what I should do and how I should approach the apple store? I really do not want a repeat and cannot afford to turn my macbook taken from me as it is being used for my current job.
P.S. I have singled the ethernet port to my computer as I had used my dad's macbook on the same ethernet cord and his worked, mine did not.

I have updated my computer this morning, it didn't change anything regarding the ethernet port. I also logged onto my windows through bootcamp and ran ipconfig. When I look into the ethernet option it says "media disconnected" could this mean the port is simply loose? or would there be a different sentence there if it was actually damaged. When I went under profiler though it did not say no ethernet ports are found but just listed off the usual numbers.
I'm tempted to reset my SMC but I want to make sure it will have no side effects on my computer, I really hope I can talk to the apple store because I'm really sick of their service to me.
I'm going to ramble for a bit but I feel like I got taken advantage of because I cannot be pushy or rude to others even in inconvenience. It was ~$100 for the repair service which isn't terrible and ~$130 for a new logic board togehter I ended up paying just under $300 for the complete repair which on it's own is not horrible either. However my computer was stuck in their system for a little over a month, it took 1 week to get the diagnosis which from there it should have been shipped off site to be repaired (and if followed how much time it took later on I would have been two days until I had my computer back) however every time I checked the status and called in the genius' replied it has been shipped off site so the status will not update until a repair has been finished. after a week of bombarding people at the apple store with phone calls asking how my computer is doing I finally got a call saying "it has been a week since we have heard from you about your computer, would you like for it to be repaired?". This was unbelievable all of my phone calls did not go through (was around 20 or so multiple ones in a day) and I wasted a week just to find my computer was basically lost in their store. Finally it was shipped off and repaired and sent back to me. When I brought this up to the manager in store she simply stated that there was no confirmation to repair the computer until I answered that phone call over a week later, which is absolutely ridiculous.
I received no other help from that point and ended up paying the full bill (which wasn't my purpose but still..) and I refuse to be treated like that again when it was supposed to be a somewhat simple procedure.
end rant.
Anyway, I really hope this works because I do not feel like repeating this event nor paying another ~100 service fee for something that could have been repaired during the same time.

After upgrade to OSX 10.9.2, my wifi is not working

after I upgraded to OX S 10.9.2, my wifi is not working properly. When I connect to the internet via wifi, the wifi disconnects in seconds.
But if I connect to the internet on my phone, it works.
What can be the problem?

You might:
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

After upgrading to itunes 7.3.2 system sound does not work

I recently upgraded my itunes to 7.3.2 and the sound worked for a short time. it then began to cut on and off until ceasing to work completely after a day or so. I have run diagnostics and my computer can produce sound, but not in any programs or any of the system sounds. i reinstalled windows xp and the sound worked, but when i installed itunes again the sound once again stopped completely. i have checked all the drivers, codecs, hardware etc. and they seem to be in order. what is going on?

I really struggled with this one and my IT people couldn't help. They suggested that I add my secure corporate website to the Java Exceptions Sites, and use the Java client, but that didn't work. I tried the CITRIX Native CLient (ICA Client) and that didn't work either. So, I searched my Mac for all of the instances of CitrixICAClient, or anything else with ICA in it. I then deleted all of those files, shut down Safari, rebooted my computer and tried again to log into my corporate site using the Native Client conenction option. I remembered from years ago, that the first time you try to connect using the native client, that Citrix plugin is downloaded. THat's exactly what happened and I haven't had any more problems. So apparently, you have to clean up a little adn make sure that any "old" citrix products are removed.

After upgrading to mavericks my epson scanner v 600 does not work

After upgrading to Mavericks my scanner V600 epson does not work, I keep getting a message to re-install the software, but even then is does not work

I'm having the same issue. The scanning software doesn't launch, the scanner appears in system preferences after a few unplugs and plugins, and software update doesn't give me the recommended ICA update.
Also the Epson scan utilities aren't updated either and will be "released soon" according to here:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 139863&prodoid=63084673&infoType=Downloads&detected=yes&platform=OSF_M_X9
They recommend to use image capture (which is a joke) in the mean time or you could buy vuescan but thats not much better for some things.

After upgrading to the latest iTunes version (9.2.0.61), iTunes does not recognize my iPhone.
I have tried:
switching cables,
switching USB ports,
restarting computer,
repairing iTunes,
uninstalling and downloading 64-bit version then installing,
uninstalling and downloading Windows 7 version then it would not install,
verified that AMDS had started,
restarted AMDS.
I have tried all of these things at various times and in various orders. I did get iTunes to see my phone once, but because I have been working on this a few hours, I don't remember the sequence I used. I do know that when I closed and restarted iTunes it no longer recognized my phone again.
I connected my iPhone to a different computer that does have iTunes latest version, (9.2.0.61) and it was recognized. That computer is a HP Pavilion a6530f PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit version.

My Airport Express ethernet port is not working

I recently purchased a refurb Airport Express (latest version) to extend my home wifi. Extending the network works fine. I then tried to set it up as a wireless bridge to my new AV receiver but the receiver would not connect -- no IP address, nada zip. I had changed the settings to join a wireless network and checked allow ethernet client, rebooted the express several times, even tried a hard reset. I connected two laptops using a spare ethernet cable. The won't connect either. It keeps trying to connect, but it does not succeed. Am i doing something wrong or does the refurb unit have a dead ethernet port. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

When extending the network, my wireless clients get an ip. The Express is just acting as a pass through the router. The laptop I am typing this on is getting its signal from Express.
When I change the configuration to have the express function as a wireless bridge to my new AV receiver, nothing. No IP, no connectivity of any kind. I then tried in with this laptop (Win 7 HP) and my wife's MacBook Pro. No connection. It keeps trying, it goes through an identifying cycle but then says no cable connected. I have tried different cables and still nothing. Are there any other settings in the airport utility that I am supposed to change beside the wireless tab where I set it as join the network and allow ethernet clients. I retyped the WPA2 password just in case. I'm stumped and would appreciate any assistance.

My Apple TV is a useless brick now. Ethernet port no longer works.

Not sure, but it seems after an update, my ethernet port does not work. I can plug it into the PS3 and works fine. I HAVE TO use WiFi now or my Apple TV is a useless piece of plastic that looks "oh so Apple Cool." Yea, whatever Apple. I have been using this same port for almost 2 years with no issue.
thoughts?

It may well be a hardware failure but a few things to try:
Unplug from main for 5-10 mins and restart it.
Reset settings in the Settings menus.
Last resort - try to factory restore to current software using a microUSB cable to hook it up to a computer running iTunes.
Assume you don't have Apple care (even if you did I think it's only 2 years on AppleTVs anyway).

Upgraded to iOS5.1 and now video out is not working. How do I fix this?

After upgrade to iOS 5.1 the video out is not working! Anyone have this problem? Is there a fix for this?

OK so I went to the Apple Store and they said my cable was a third party cable. We tried an apple cable and it worked! So Apple changed the pin out configuration on the OS 5.1 upgrade so only Apple cables will work! So I had to shell out another $40.00 to get that cable!
