Are others have these same technical issues

Are others having the same issues if so have you been able to resolve them?
1) Unable to mount TC to desktop unless I changed drive location in TM pref panel. I do have it set to automatically discover upon login.
2) Three failed BU attempts, all were after the several hours of sloooowww backup progress. I would get within 2 to 5 gb of completion then it would either hang or fail.
3) Unable to erase drive, I can't for the life of my understand this one but when I hit the erase drive option in the setup panel the TC always hangs
4) Several times a BU was started by TM and the BU would hang on the preparing step for hours
5) THIS IS A BIG ONE: The signal was horrible on my PB G4 w/802.11G but great on my new MBP w/802.11N. The two machines sitting side by side would produce a difference of 2 bars on the (G) machine and 4 bars on the (N) machine.

I can't really tell from your post why you are having such problems. Assuming the Mac is running 10.5.2 and both the Mac laptops were set to never sleep and the TC is on a UPS unit to protect them from power issues, this should work. Were both laptops trying to do an initial backup at the same time? I helped set up a TC yesterday which was in the same room with a recent iMac with few problems. The TC was running backup from the iMac (93GB) and getting about 1GB of transfer per ten minutes (units were about 2 feet apart) and we got excellent WiFi on an iPhone outside the house while standing between a metal framed patio enclosure and a metal rod fence. So the Airport seemed fine. Did you measure how many bars the G system would show if it was the only WiFi in use?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Extremely difficult to toggle switches on and off in settings in iOS6, on multiple devices, iP5, 4S, 4 and new iPad. Are others finding the same issue?

Extremely difficult now to toggle switches on and off in settings in iOS6, on multiple devices, iP5, 4S, 4 and new iPad. Are others finding the same issue?

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

Why is Skype freezing everytime I try to open it after upgrading to Mountain Lion? Will it help if I delete and download it again? Are others having the same/similar problem?

Skype was working fine with the OS X Lion but ever since I upgraded, it has constantly been freezing. I've decided to drag it to trash and download the .dmg file from the Skype website once again. Are others facing the same problem?
Also, what are the associated files I should delete from the Library (Preferences, Caches etc) to remove Skype completely?

Well, this problem is fixed. I deleted all the files associated with Skype from the Library. Reinstalled it and the main thing, unlinked Skype from Facebook. Now it works fine!

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same difficulty. "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

"Weird" needs further explanation.
Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues. Can't Apple do anything about this? It's obviously a hardware problem!

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working. They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing. I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
I see others have this issue too.
If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it? Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012. The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual. If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

Does the new time capsule have the same power issues as the old one?

I loved the idea of having my wi-fi and back-up all in one unit so I slashed out on a 2TB Time Capsule in February 2013. Over the last three of four months we have been experiencing problems with the wi-fi (keeps dropping). Took it in to the local Apple Store and was told that it is an issue with the power supply in the unit and that this is not uncommon. I am reluctant to shell out $400 for a replacement Apple Time Capsule if it has the same issues and will need replacing in two years. Does anyone know if the new designed Time Capsule has been improved to remedy this problem? If not, any suggestions for a better designed alternative?
Thanks.

If you have applecare or still have possibility of buying applecare on a computer or apple TV then the TC would still be covered.
The store has jumped to a conclusion but I am not sure the evidence is pointing that way.. the power supplies in Gen4 were pretty ok for the life of the unit.
However they did have some serious board issues start to show up at around 2year mark.. the board was poorly soldered.. and some have got it working by the oven bake method..
See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/gen4-a1409-issues
IMHO it is better to figure out a way of getting the TC under applecare and getting it replaced by apple. If it really does prove to have wireless issues.
I would do a full factory reset of the TC.. and redo the setup again.
And if you run Yosemite.. I would be blaming the computer first.. and only the TC if everything else (with the computer isolated) also has issues. Yosemite itself can trigger issues in other network devices.
I would also say wireless is a strange beastie.. people next door could have setup a new wireless router designed specifically to overwhelm the issues your router caused them.. router wars..
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2. Fixed wireless channels.. try 11, 8, 6 for 2.4ghz and try a low channel like 36 or 40 and then a high channel.. 149, 165. Whatever is available in your area for 5ghz.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

Everything seems to take longer to open in iOS 8 on my iPhone 5. Are others experiencing the same thing?

Since upgrading my iPhone 5 32 GB to iOS 8 the other day apps seem to take noticeably longer to open. For example, MyFitnessPal and FaceBook. One time the camera didn't even quite open and I had to force it closed and try again.
Are other people experiencing the same thing?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
doug

When you got the new phone, you restored it from backup, I assume? If so, you might want to restore as new. I know it's a pain, but.......it might help.
In my case, whenever there are major upgrades, especially if my device is "underpowered" I usually restore as new with the new major upgrade. But that's me, and it is a pain in the end.
PS I did not restore as new with iOS 8 on my 5s, but did so on the 5 and 4S.

Will CS5 have the same memory issues as past versions?

I've heard Illustrator's "not enough memory" alerts called a "bug" here and other places, and I'm not sure if it is or just a problem with 32bit apps.
A few years back, I bought a MacPro and built the ram up to 19 gigs, thinking that would help some of my Illustrator "slowness" issues. I've since come to understand that I paid a lot of money for a good computer, but still use an app that isn't built to take full advantage of the computer processor, ram, or operating system.
I'm using CS4, I use it for freelance work, and I'm constantly frustrated by its slowness or its outright stoppage when it accesses all of the little bit of memory its allowed to search for. (Common for me to work with intricate live traced art or detailed pieces with blends, transparency effects etc. Certainly no problem if I'm just working with simple filled shapes.)
I know that Illustrator CS5 is still 32bit, and I guess I'm questioning if anyone has any knowledge at all of Adobe going under the hood and doing anything to improve its performance. I'm having a problem reaching for big Creative Suite upgrade money if its just for a few new features and the same old sluggishness.
Thanks,
Tarzeck

Wade,
That is your best excuse on behalf of Adobe?
We have the 64-bit technology for years! YEARS!
And you saying that Adobe have not used this technology for years because is part of the plan?
You must be joking! Seriously? Really?
This is part of Adobe's plan?
So version CS6 will be 64-Bit native when we have something better.
Are you defending Adobe or just making fun of Adobe?

How to get folders/icons in all finder areas to have the same size?

I'm trying to make the icons in all areas of my finder appear a larger size. I've managed to make this happen by going into view/view options, but it seems to change it only for that window. If I go into a different window they are the "default" size of smaller.
How do I change it so that all windows open in the same look/feel?
Thanks.

I have tried that and it seems to "take" only for that group of windows (e.g., "applications", "movies").
Is that accurate? That I must do it with each "group" of windows. For example, if I have "music videos" as a folder with various artists folders, I have found that if I do "music videos" it seems to work for the folders inside. But I go to "tv shows" as a new window, I must repeat the process. True?
no. if you do this in one folder and use "set as defaults" it should apply to all folders no matter where they are located. delete the file homefolder/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, control-option-click on Finder in the dock and choose "relaunch". this will reset your finder preferences. try setting default view options again.
Sorry if this is elementary.

Microsoft support SUCKS! Do others have the same negative view I'm getting (unfortunately)?

I've seen terrible deterioration in the quality over the years. It seems I've been wrong to stay loyal despite what most have been saying. What's your experience?
My latest experience is that Friday night a technician wasted over two hours of my time trying to do remote diagnostics only to say that he was only level 1 technician and that a better qualified level 2 technician would call me. But, of
course, I would need to wait about 24 hours. I agreed to a very late appointment of 11 pm. The time was scheduled and confirmed three times. That time was almost two hours ago. Nobody called. The technician did say that
if there is any problem, I should call the phone number he gave me and tell them my case # (1196970354). Well, at that phone number nobody answers at this hour. It's almost one o'clock in the morning where I'm, I'm still waiting, and there is no
way to get hold of anybody. Through chat I was told by "Piolo" to call during business hours because he doesn't know about "that other department."
Is this what Microsoft has become? It's very disappointing and a sign of things clearly getting worse.

Phoneing is better anyways, we have some free phone numbers in our state where we can phone to during the day (except for WE). It's true that it's not the best support but as I said, since it's a large company with plenty of applications and stuff, it can
take time until a problem is solved.
Example of mine:
As usual every Xbox once recieves a so called "ROD" or "RROD" (Red Ring Of Dead = broken Xbox because of bad cooling system inside), I of course had to phone those guys, since I had guarantee for my Xbox, so they can fix it. It took me 5 calls until they
completly understood it, that they actually have to fix my Xbox and not send me anything or whatever. After 5 calls they finally understood what my actual problem was (this even with an extra Xbox Support Team).
Now guess what happens if you go directly to the Microsoft Support. It COULD take much longer than you expect. You can complain about that, I won't stop you, but it will mostly not effect anything.
BTW, I do not know any Support which is perfect anyways.

How many others have iPod nano 6th generation with on/off buttons broken?

I've been reading on here just how many others have the same problem as I do. My Nano is a few months outside the warranty and the on/off button doesn't work anymore. It works if in a docking station but what use is that? The button gave me a few problems inside the 12 month warranty but it was intermittent - I just thought I hadn't pressed the button right! Apple must surely do something about this design flaw - there are countless people complaining about the same thing! I just tried to log a 'support call' - to discover I must pay £25 before someone will even answer the phone? I will definitely think twice before buying another Apple product - this is the second iPod with which I have had 'design' flaws. The first was a worldwide defective replacement due to battery problems - they at least had the decency to replace those. Absolutely rubbish customer care.

Take a lesson from this: even if you have a device where the problem is interrmitent take it in to the Genius Bar anyway. Had you done this, and even if it hadn't acted up while you were there it would be on record that you brought it in prior to the warranty expiring for the problem. This applies to anything you buy with a warranty.
That said, neither of the 6th Generation models I have (and had), nor any of the about 10 I gave as gifts, have had the problem. If I were you I would call AppleCare, immediately tell them you want to be transferred to Customer Service, and calmly lay out to them your situation in a calm manner and see what they can do for you.
The replaceement program for the 1st Generation Nano was due to a Sony battery issue and did not involve all models, only those with a certain range of battery serial numbers. It was also a safety hazard.
@keeferaf: It isn't "infamous" nor does it really qualify as an Achille's heel.

Frequent - "JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by same certificate"

Hi Experts,
I am not able to open ESR and ID. I am facing "JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by same certificate" issue. I have gone through SDN forums and solved this issue by deleting the javaws cache and clicking on Restore Archives and Generate New Signature button in the Administrator -> "Java Web Start Administration".
But my issue is...I have to do this every time when I log into the system. I am using J2SE Development Kit 5.0 and J2SE Runtime Environment Kit 5.0.
Also it is taking around 5 minutes to open ESR.
Thanks,
Phani Akella.
