Anybody having trouble with their USB Superdrive?

Ok, sooo, the superdrive on my laptop has ceased receiving disks and the new external USB Superdrive I just got out of the box makes a very brief noise when I plug it into the computer but then also refuses to accept disks. Am I missing a step or is something out to get me? Thanks.

First contact the manufacturer of your new external drive and/or read the user manual. Should have a troubleshooting section.
For your MBP internal drive, check out the following KB Article: Apple Portables: Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive

Anybody having trouble with their iPhone after updating to 4.3.2? My phone is slow to react when I try to get out of an app, or it actually locks up.

After updating to 4.3.2 my phone is either sluggish when changing apps or non-responsive. I have tried sync'ing and turning the phone off and on, doesn't make any difference.

Have you tried a hard reset?

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4623 Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
I could not connect to my home network. What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen. Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto". Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank.
This should not work. However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not.
*shrug*
Best of luck.

HT1665 has anyone else having trouble with their iPad mini and iPhone usb cords? we have 3 mini's in the house and 1 iPhone we don't let the kids plug the iPads in and my wife takes great care charging her iPhone. and still all the usb cords break at the

ok this is getting a little ridiculous we have 3 ipad mini's and 1 iphone in our household and everyone of the usb cords breaks at the plug that goes into the devices. The latest is my wifes iphone cord and the phone is only 3 weeks old. what gives apple? Never had a problem with the older style cords. Bad thing is they charge a small fortune fo these cords.

I have three non-working cords as well. The cable is so flimsy at the connector. If enough people complain then maybe Apple will try creating a better product! They should issue some credit or send customers a new cord.

Is anyone else having trouble with their iPhone on any kind of speakers?

Just last night, my iPhone 3gs just decided to stop working on any kind of speakers, iHome or other brands. I've plugged my phone into multiple speakers, and my phone will say that it's charging, and the power button to the speakers will say that the speakers are on, but my phone doesn't really register that it's connected to speakers. Whenever I hit play, my iPhone speakers play the music, not the speakers of the iHome. But whenever I plug my iPod classic into any of the speakers, the speakers work just fine. I'm thinking this must be an issue with the recent 4.1 update, but I don't know.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to solve this problem?

Yes, we all are having this problem. Search for Sony+iPhone and you'll see the threads. I have a Sony clock radio that used to work fine, now it's just a giant charger since applying OS4. Some people have got it to work by doing a hard reset so no apps are running except iPod. This didn't work for me though, and I used to also be able to play Pandora too before the upgrade.
BTW, I took my iPhone (it's a 3GS) to the Sony store and tried it on the models in the store. It worked with one of them, but not the others, so the newer ones might work. Not very useful if you've had one for a while though.

Anybody having trouble with InDesign CS2 documents on a network drive?

I just set up my Airport network at home (Airport Extreme base station, external hard drive plugged into the USB port, iMac G5 plugged into one of the Ethernet ports) and have run into a peculiar problem. When working on my iMac (connected vie ethernet) I open an Adobe InDesign CS2 document from the USB network drive. After a minute or so InDesign tells me something has gone wrong and it is shutting down. I immediately re-launch InDesign and it does its auto-recovery and immediately shuts down again. If I re-launch again and it asks if I want to begin auto recovery it immediately shuts down again. Only by telling it "no" to auto revoery can I break the cycle and let InDesign launch normally. However, if I then go to the file I was working on and attempt to open it, InDesign shuts down. I know that InDesign creates a temporary Lock file when you open a document. My guess is that somehow the lock file is getting corrupted and preventing InDesign from opening this file. InDesign documents are the only file types thus affected, Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. I have a second hard drive connected via Firewire and have never had any problems with files from it. My question is, what would be causing the problem on my network drive connectd to the base station? Am I the only one out there with this problem?

HT3529 Is anyone having trouble with their iMessage since updating to iOS 6?

Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 6 I have had trouble getting my iMessages to work. I have wifi signal but when I try to send an iMessage it will not send and I cannot recieve any either. I didn't have any trouble before I updated my OS. Does anyone have any idea's on how I can fix this? I've tried resetting my phone and removing and readding my email address in the Settings; General; Messages; Send & Recieve. That worked for a few hours then it stoped working again.
I am stationed in Africa right now and I would use it all the time to stay in contact with my family back home.

I have this same problem....was hoping maybe it was just my music library today so I could listen to some music but it happens with pandora too ..... Sure hope they send a fix quickly!

Anybody having trouble with Facebook? (3.6.24 on Ubuntu on a Dell with 1000 ram)

Using Firefox 3.6.24 on Ubuntu on a Dell with 1000 ram. Chat does not open (continuously loads and loads); cannot scroll past about 30 or so posts - when I hit "more stories" at the bottom, page reloads to the top; have done everything I can find in Help there and Help here.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Is anyone else having trouble with their iCloud Accout from their PC?

Hello! For some reason, today, on both my iPhone and my PC, will not let me sign into my Mail in my iCloud Account. On my iPhone, it says that the Username and/or Password are incorrect. On my PC it just says "Cannot Load Mail..." Is this happening to anyone else? I've signed in multiple times with sucess! I just cannot access my Mail. Is there anyone with some advice? It would be greatly appreciated!

Have had the no email situation since last Friday 19/03.
It keeps saying I have the incorrect username/password.
Then when I try to login to mail from icloud.com, it comes up with a message, "Cannot load mail".
I called tech support yesterday. They have escalated to a senior engineer.
Still no resolution yet.
My wife's email went down today.
So .....

Is anyone else having trouble with their iweb website and the Internet Explorer 10 browser? Mine is not loading properly

I've tested Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox - everything looks great until I get to IE 10 - after uninstalling and going back to IE9 I'm good to go - but concerned about my client base using IE10 and not being able to visit my website. Has anyone found a solution?

Why find a solution for a problem that does not exist.
If your webpages display properly in modern browsers, then clearly it's an MSIE problem. As usual.
Identify what does not display properly and then make some adjustments to please all browsers.
And if your client base primarily uses Windows, why not use a PC to create webpages.
Or don't use iWeb and learn to code yourself. Which is always a good idea, with or without iWeb.
There are tons of topics on the internet about MSIE exceptions.
And remember, Windows users have choice too.
