Assigning text tone to particular contact doesn't work on my Mac

I have been trying to assign text tones to particular contacts in Yosemite by clicking the drop-down while editing my contacts in the Contacts app and choosing the text tone, but it doesn't seem to work. Every time a message comes in from those contacts, it always uses the default alert that is set in the Messages app. What's going on? Is it a bug or something?

A particular website doesn't work

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/ has not been working for me for three days. However, other people have said that it works just fine for them. Every time I try to load this website, it tells me this:
Safari can’t open the page “http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.
There are several other things I must say.
1: I am certain that this is the proper URL, and that the URL has not changed.
2: I have tried other pages of this website, such as http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-crit ic and still, none of them work.
3: I don't have any way to contact the admin of the site, since, after all, I can't get TO the site.
4: I have tried to log in with Internet Explorer as well. Still tells me the same basic thing: "Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to thatguywiththeglasses.com"
5: I have gone to the other computer in my house and tried it, with the same results.
6: I have erased all my Safari cookies, the cache, history, downloads, I reset everything multiple times. Same results.
7: I have never, ever had this kind of problem where a particular website doesn't work, but apparently only for me at the same time.
My question is: What is happening, and what can I do to fix it?

I'm having the same problem with my own website. All day today it's been alternating between loading correctly, and displaying an error message that says:
"Safari can’t open the page “http: //www. mydomain.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
It works for about 45 minutes, then doesn't work for 15 or 20 minutes.
Yet the techs at my hosting provider say they can view the site.
The same thing happens with other computers in the house (not just mine), and when I try to load the page in Firefox, it doesn't work either.
Somehow I don't believe it's related to Safari.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has any ideas about what generally causes such error messages.

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a re...

Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a reboot or a contacts restore.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Backup contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Back up now.
2. Edit/save a contact, press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition works fine.
3. Restore contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Restore.
4. Reboot phone when prompted.
5. Press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition does not work.
Work around:
Edit and save each contact.
Additional Information:
Social integration with contacts also does not work after a reboot. The facebook icon and "See what xxx is up to on Facebook" is not displayed. The same work around "Edit and save each contact" also applies. This occurs using the Nokia N8 and Nokia 808 Pureview.

I have my phone paired with my car, I can do everything except it does not recognize any of my contact names. If I try say a contact name, it says "not recognized" but if I say the contacts phone number, the name pops up onthe display in my car.
Has anyone had this issue, is there a setting I am missing in my phone?
Hello,
This is not necessarily and issue with the phone. It could also be an issue with the car`s bluetooth software that is only limited to some functions like reading your contacts list, last calls, missed calls, etc. which is most likely the basic 2.0 version.
The Z30 has the 4.0 version that has a lot more communication capability but if the car`s bluetooth its a lower version, then you will not be able to take full advantage of it unless you upgrade the bluetooth software in your car. Call your dealer and inquire about the bluetooth software upgrade in your car

Icloud password suddenly doesn't work on my mac

My apple user name and password haven't been changed at all for a long time. I have used it to access icloud and the itunes and everything.
But suddenly the password doesn't work 'on my mac.'
However it still works fine when I access icloud.com from my same computer.
But when I try to "manage my account" from system preferences (icloud), it doesn't work.
And also, when I access the itunes store from my same computer it doesn't work.
There are no error messages-- when I type in the password and press return it just reverts to the same page in which the password field is empty.
OSX 10.9.4
Thanks in advance for any help!

I got this advice from BDAqua.
If it's never worked since moving to Mexico I think they'll have to call Apple...
Mexico... 001-866-676-5682
Before you call, have your serial number ready. Or start your support request online and we'll connect you to an expert.
Contact Apple for support and service
I'm sure it's some international rights/copyright type thing.
Try that, if the problem is new since you upgraded to Mavericks.

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

HT1338 ios 6 updated iphone doesn't work on my mac

I am currently using iphone 4 - recently upgraded to IOS 6,
and it doesn't work on my mac - a version of MAC OS X 10.5.8. - when it connects to itunes - which i have a latest version upgraded on my mac.
I tried to upgrade the Mac software of 10.6 and later versions to the latest versions, but i can't download them.
That's why I can't use itunes to upload the songs in my iphone, which is my biggest concern right at the moment.

The latest version of Adobe Flash Player doesn't work on my Mac?
What is the solution?

Download and install a version compatible to whatever cat flavor you have on the computer.

Maybe Flash 11 is too big and you need to stay on Flash 10.3

Notes doesn't work on my mac

Notes doesn't work on my mac (closes unexpectedly) ? How can I solve this problem ?

Exactly
but I cannot do that because whenever I try to activate notes sync in iCloud, my mac merges the notes I have 'On my Mac' to the iCloud and deletes the 'on my mac' section.
so, I cannot back up my notes on my mac.
any solutions?

Text replacements synchronization doesn't work on my Mac

Hello, I cannot make text replacements synchronization work on Yosemite (the same problem was on Mavericks – I hoped, that Yosemite will fix it, but it didn't). The symptoms are:
Synchronization backend work properly: when I add or update shortcuts on my iPad, the change will appear in sqlite database stored in ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... on my Mac
When I go to Keyboard Preferences → Text, I can see shortcuts synchronized from my iPad there
The shortcuts doesn't work in applications at all (even if they are enabled via Edit menu)
I started to play with brand new user account on my Mac and I was able to make synchronization work. After some investigation I found that shortcuts are automaticaly copied from ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... to ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist under NSUserDictionaryReplacementItems key on this new account, but on my real account they don't appear there. If I add some shortcut to .GlobalPreferences.plist manualy, it works in applications as expected. So something which is responsible for keeping CoreDataUbiquitySupport and .GlobalPreferences.plist in sync doesn't work, probably. Any ideas, how this can be fixed?
By the way, there is one more issue with shortcuts: add/remove/reset to defaults buttons are missing in Keyboard Preferences → Text.

Try PRAM reset.

Contacts doesn't work

Dynamic VLAN-Assignment from RADIUS with Aironet 1242AG doesn't work properly

Hello All,
our setting is to assign VLANs dynamically from RADIUS (freeradius) to Clients connected to the 1242 Access-Points with one SSID. We have Firmware
12.4(10b)JA/JDA on the Aironet 1242.
The clients should be connected to one of three VLANs - one for staff, one for students and one for guests. I use the Web-Interface of
the 1242, because I'm not very familiar with IOS cli.
After assigning the first VLAN to the SSID -> click Accept, assigning the second VLAN to the SSID (overwriting the previous one) -> click Accept,
assigning the third VLAN to SSID (overwriting again) -> click Accept, the assignment of VLANs works really fine,
(the only thing i change on the page is VLAN, the SSID is set to mandatory WPAv2)
BUT...
when the 1242 is rebooted (due a building power off or similar) it doesn't work anymore. Clients end up in an endless authentication loop.
After doing the procedure again from above - assigning all VLANs sequently once, it works fine again ! till next reboot...
All VLANs have same encryption, cypher, TKIP+AES CCM. On the Cisco-Site I found a command, which i also tried with no success:
'aaa authorization network default group radius'.
I also tried to save the working config and load it into the 1242 again, this also did not work.
It seems that i'm doing something wrong, but what ?
Thanks for some help,
Frank

All you really need to do is make sure the subinterfaces/vlans are created for each VLAN you need, then have radius push down IETF attributes 64, 65, and 81.

1.3.5 update - lookup map from Contacts doesn't work for Sprint Nav or Google maps

Is anyone able to tap on a contact's address in order to launch Sprint Navigation? Or even Google Maps? In my case, Google maps alway navigates to *my* address, not the contact's address I tapped on.
Worse, my Pre hangs on the Sprint Nav splash screen when choosing that option -- similar to what others are noticing. I copied this from another forum, as it describes my problem as well:
I updated Default Applications to launch Sprint Navigation for addresses. It certainly launches from an open Contact, but locks up on the splash screen. It never displays a map (nor anything else), and the menu doesn't function. Completely unresponsive. If I launch the app stand-alone, it works fine, so Sprint Navigation doesn't seem to be broken. It just doesn't work launching from a contact address.
I've switched the default app back and forth between Google Maps and Sprint Navigation, and did a couple restarts to no avail.
Regards,
Paul
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Thanks for the feedback and link to confirm this issue. I confirmed what the other fellow wrote on that thread:
if you already have Sprint Nav open, then click the address is goes fine.
I also "fixed" the issue in which Google maps loaded but always went to *my* location. I fixed this by exorcising the unofficial Google Latitude version of Maps from my Pre.I picked up this version by following a hyperlink to the beta Latitude a number of days ago, and ever since it had replaced the regular G Maps. I was able to clear Latitude off my device by pointing the browser to maps.google.com to reload the original flavor.After that, I am able to properly launch G Maps from a contact's address field. Whew!
Regards,
Paul
