Airport disk just stopped working after Leopard install

My airport disk worked perfectly in Tiger. After installing Leopard i can see airport disks in the finder but when i try to see contents the system hangs up for a few seconds and then i get a message "can't connect to disk" or something similar. I tried reinstalling airport software from cd, upgrading firmware of airport extreme, deleting keys from keychain but still don't work. Any experience?
Thanks

Hi,
This could be related to an authentication issue,could you try to change the authentication of the disk to "With a disk password" or "With base station password" on the disk pane of the airport utility (into the file sharing tab)?
Regards

Boot keys stopped working after Leopard install

I have seen others having this problem in another thread but no answers, so thought I'd give it a go.
After reading these threads finally got Leopard to install and run okay. Many thanks all. But, along the way, my boot keys stopped working. It doesn't matter what I hold down, whether 'c' or 'cmd-opt-p-r' or 'shift' or any other key combination the machine just boots straight into Leopard.
I have tried resetting the PMU (or whatever it is these days) via the internal button in desperation but still no luck.
Anyone with any ideas?

Same problem here, so I'll pull this post up. No key works.
I always have to go to the Start Drive (or whatever it's called in english) in Preferences Panes and choose the partition I wish to start directly in OSX or Windows for booting back to OSX. This is very annoying. Alt key won't show up any possible boot disk although their both internal drives.
If someone would kindly post any ideas how to change that, would be great. I've done a fresh install, with a Time Machine recovery, but this didn't seem to help.
EDIT:
I found another subjet here from november '07:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224639
it seems the new Apple Keyboard is the origin of the Problem on iMac Core Duo. Apple techs said that a new firmeware should be coming before the end of 2007 (but it's february 2008 now ?!?). Any other ideas how to get this work ? I'll write on Aplpe feedback page for sure. Maybe the other boot keys aren't working because of this keyboard too.

My airport express just stops working after an hour

I have an Airport Express Gen 1 to extend a wireless network. I also am using the Airport Extreme BAse Station.
I get the express plugged in and configured and it just loses signal after about an hour.
This happen when it is in the same room as the extreme. The product just continues to fail

May I know your antivirus status?
everything normal before?
do you remember if there is any changes before this issue happen?
updating your network card will be isolate driver issue
Some of this kind of cases will be solved by delete some temporary file (maybe this will be temporary solving problems, but you should try)
Goto Run:c:\temp and delete all the files/folders that present in this temp folder, disconnect that internet connection (LAN or WIFI).
press refresh of F5 on the desktop screen and then try to connect to that internet connection back
or try this via command prompt, run and type cmd
ipconfig/flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
or try clean boot, i suspected some of the software caused this issue
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us
I would also recommended to do full scan of your PC
If you not familiar with those step, i suggest you ask your friend or someone who understand about networking better, maybe your IT at office
since this steps will be involved Windows file and registry i recommend you find others or bring it to service center

Macbook Pro Audio line in stopped working after Leopard install

Anyone know what's up with this? Since I installed Leopard (did an erase and install) my audio line in port isn't working although my built-in microphone is. Ideas? I haven't found a solution so far from my searches.

I also have this problem but with a slightly different twist..
I was using my plantronics (old ms gamevoice headset) with 10.5.2 and it worked, then installed the m-Audio Firewire Audiophile beta drivers and neither the audio-in or the m-audio audiophile line-in cause any VU-meter response (nor input) whereas the standard inbuilt microphone does.
After uninstalling the m-audio drivers the situation is still the same.
Oddly - if I plug in the headphones into the line-in (rather than microphone) then speak into them I actually get input audio (and VU-meter response) through the MBP's audio-in.
So the story about no power is used (hence the headphones create enough to register the sound) sounds about true... very annoying as I thought my old headset had died and went out and bought a new one.. that still doesn't explain the audiophile input issues..
Now I fully expect both companies to point fingers at each other.. I don't care - just get it fixed please.

HP Photosmart 8450 (8400 series) stops working after Leopard Install

I upgraded my MAC Pro and iMac to Leopard and now my HP Photosmart 8450 printer will not work with either one. As other people have pointed out, the driver is built into Leopard, so not clear how to fix this or if there's a patch...any thoughts? Forget about HP support, they want to charge a fortune for telephone support. - Alec

How won't it work? Are you able to add the printer? Have you taken any troubleshooting steps, such as resetting the print system and then re-adding the printer. Were the HP Leopard drivers installed when you upgraded?

DVD drive stopped working after Mavericks install

I have a Macbook Pro (late 08 model) that was running Snow Leopard. I recently did a clean install of Mavericks and since then the DVD drive just spins and ejects discs without being able to read them (doesn't seem to matter what I use. Software, games, audio cds, etc..). It was working fine before installing Mavericks and I can still boot from the DVD drive (old snow leopard boot disc) but it won't read any discs once booted into the OS even though the OS is detecting the drive just not the disc when inserted.
I've tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and resetting the SMC as suggested on other forums but like many others with the same issue it didn't help. I also cycled through several drutil commands as suggested to "wake up" the drive but that didn't help any either.
I'm kind of stumped here guys. I could roll back to Snow Leopard but I've got some software thats dropping support so I'd rather be running Mavericks if I can sort out this DVD drive issue. Clearly its not the drive itself since it worked fine before and I can boot from it. Any ideas?

Hrm looks like I might of fixed it. I went back after seeing another post about spamming drutil commands to "wake up" the drive and just spammed them about 20 or so times and the drive started working again.
I'm still very confused as to why it just stopped working within the OS after installing Mavericks (yet I was still able to boot from the DVD just fine). Clearly something is bugged in mavericks. I even came across a post on the apple forums from someone with this issue and it was effecting both his late 08 and early 2013 Macbook Pros.
I'll keep an eye on my own machine to see if it stops working again but for now it seems my drive is "fixed" go figure.

Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

My Airport Extreme just stopped working. The message says ethernet cable not plugged in, but it is. Cable modem works fine. Is this a common problem?

My 2-year-old Airport Extreme instantly stopped working last night and is flashing the status light. The problem description is that the ethernet cable is not plugged in... however, the ethernet cable is still plugged into the cable modem. I checked the modem by plugging directly into my laptop... it works fine. Is this a common problem? Is there anything I can try other than sending it in for warranty repair?

At this point, before sending it back, I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

SugarCRM stops working after Leopard upgrade

My local copy of SugarCRM CE 4.5.1 was working in Tiger before I upgraded to Leopard last week.
After the upgrade, SugarCRM complains with the following message:
=====
Warning: mysqli_connect() \[function.mysqli-connect\]: (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock' (1) in /Users/orest/Sites/ruby/ruby.sugarcrm_from-backup-20080813/include/database/Mys qliManager.php on line 419

=====
A copy of PHPMyAdmin has not had any problems during the transition from Tiger to Leopard, nor have local copies of WordPress and Drupal.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm new to the subtleties of Apache/PHP/MySQL on Leopard, so please be gentle.
Thanks.

Thanks for the swift response.
I'm familiar with the socket location issues with MySQL on Mac OS X. My local copies of WordPress and PHPMyAdmin both work with their configurations pointing to the socket at /tmp/mysql.sock. These installations were working, along with SugarCRM, before the Leopard upgrade. Only SugarCRM has stopped working after the upgrade.
Is there something I misunderstand about your pointer?

ILok Stops Working After Leopard 10.5 Install

After years of trouble-free service, including after software upgrade and OS upgrades through 10.3.9, my iLok no longer functions correctly. It stopped working immediately after installing Leopard on my G4.
When I start the software requiring the iLok license, MachFive (a music sampler plug-in and stand-alone program), I get a message that software is missing and am directed to the Pace website where I can download the latest driver and install it.
I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest driver repeatedly but with no change. The iLok still doesn't work.
I checked it on the iLok website and the licenses are still properly installed on the dongle.
Other things I have tried:
I unplugged all other USB devices except the keyboard and mouse and intalled the iLok directly into the back of the G4. No change.
I upgraded the host software, Digital Performer, to DP6. No change.
I have reinstalled MachFive. No change.
I have tried opening both MachFive 1 and MachFive 2.01. Same result. No Change.
Has anyone heard of, or encountered this problem?
Does anyone have a suggestion or solution?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks very much,
Jon

Thanks so much for your very quick reply.
I am waiting for MOTU support to get back to me. We'll see what they have to say.
I have had extensive e-mail conversations with iLok support. They were very helpful in sorting out some other strange problems I was having, but when it comes to the problem of the license not loading, their perspective is that, if you have the latest driver, anything that doesn't work is not their responsibility. We've all seen this attitude before, of course.
Your perspective on MOTUs recommendations is interesting. I will look into it further. To their defense (and credit), I will say that the much-earlier version of DP4.6 appeared to load and work perfectly AFTER I upgraded to Leopard. I was impressed. I didn't work with it very long before upgrading to DP6, though. But, based on that, I did have high expectations that the upgrade would work fine. And the software, itself seems to be great. The only problem is the iLok.
Your information about dongle workarounds is also interesting and I will look into that subject further as well, as it might be my only solution in Leopard. I do not know if I am allowed a backup. We will see.
I do have an earlier system I can use, but I'd like to avoid moving backwards, if possible.
Again, thanks for the great info.

After software update, airport an USB stops working. Clean install fixes it until I update

I've reset PRAM and SMC erased and reinstalled 10.6 multiple times. Everything is fine until I do a software update. I can boot into windows via boot camp and all is well, but in OS X some USB ports stop working, and airport will say no hardware installed. I've repaired permissions as well with no luck. No AppleCare left so I can not call Apple.

I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

Airport cuts in and out after leopard install

I installed leopard a couple days ago and since then, my ichat has constantly (about every 2-3 minutes) stops working and says it timed out. The same thing happens for firefox/safari/any other internet app, but not as often.

I am having the same issues with Leopard. It will work when I first open the clam shell on work book, but after about 2 minutes, airport will shut down. I have to shut it off and then start airport again for it to work properly.
It was rock solid with Tiger on the sam modem and wireless connection.

Canon MP 600 Printer not working after Leopard Install

I installed the Leopard OS and now my Canon MP 600 printer that purchased at the MAC store with my Mac in Aug of this year. It was working properly prior to the Leopard install. I tried re-installing the printer drivers, but no change. I can see my MP 600 as the only printer available. I am also unable to even print a 'test' page. When I run the Network Diagnostics everything is fine, but no printing.
Any suggestions?

I tried this. I also tried updating the CUPS config file as was noted elsewhere. The printer is a total no-show on Leopard.
It is being served by an older G4 whose only job is to serve the printer.
On Tiger it would just *be there* to print to. All the Panther computers see it as a "shared printer" in the printer box.
In Leopard.... not a &^^&% thing.
Not happy.

Are you using a gimp driver? I had the same issue and gimp was the cause. I went to the Canon website and found the driver I needed. After the install and restart all was well. In fact, when I opened Print Utility, I saw that the system had already defaulted to the new Canon driver. Here's the Canon link...
