ATV2 stops working a lot

While I am looking at contents of my iTunes on the ATV2, I often get a black (blank) screen which can only be solved by rebooting the device. The white light is still on and it registers my remote clicks, but nothing happens. This happens quite often and has happened three times in the last fifteen minutes, all while browsing / streaming my Podcasts from my iMac.
Any one else have this problem? Any solutions?

I had similar problems when I first got my ATV2. I did a system restore by hooking the device up to iTunes on my iMac (USB connect first, then power on the ATV2 - should appear in iTunes).
There's also a reset / factory settings option via the ATV interface.. I assume this does the same thing, but can't say for certain.
Note - you'll have to re-enter WI-FI passwords and iTunes store credentials.

The remote on atv2 stop working

The remote on my atv2 just stop working. Change batteries, nothing. Still in warranty. What do I do?

I had the same problem, I replaced the battery but it did not work and I noticed that after replacing the battery the cover felt loose. So I cut a piece of paper (flash card) about the same size of the battery and placed it between the battery and cover and now it works just fine.
it takes only about a minute so if you have the same problem you should give it a try.
By doing this I also learned that you can pair the ATV with any remote. Even though I fixed my problem now I don't use my ATV remote. Now I use my tv remote for both the tv and apple tv.
here's how
settings > general > learn remote
and then follow the instructions on the screen.

I use dragon dictate but its stopped working on most websites/others apps like Evernote. Security settings say that its blocked because the Dragon plug-in doesn't meet Safari security standards. What do I do?

I'm on a mac desktop, with OSX 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5
I use Dragon Dictate 4.0.4 and its worked fine for almost everything until 2 days ago when it stopped working on lots of websites and on Evernote. When I check the security settings I get the emssage that its because the Dragon ply-in doesn't meet the Safari security standard. I can't see anyway to unblock this and can't see anyone else has asked a similar question. Any suggestions?

Several things to ttry ...
Contact Dragon Dictate support. I posted the link in my first reply to you.
And check Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
Also, you mentioned your current version of Safari is 7.0.5
Updating to Safari 7.0.6 may help.
Click your Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.

Touch Screen Stops Working Sometimes on TouchSmart tm2

I have a TouchSmart tm2-2052nr running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The last couple of days, my touch screen (and the pen) stop working. Restarting the computer usually fixes the problem, but not always. After switching the view or closing the laptop is when the problem occurs the most.
I have tried various things to try and fix this on my own, but I am stumped now. This includes doing a system restore to before when I started to notice the problem, running virus scans, and reinstalling the Wamcom Digitizer Pen driver (sp48676).
I have recently replaced my hard drive and therefore have done a complete system recovery. I have removed several programs and installed others, but nothing that had been different from before my hard drive crashed. Most recently since the crash I had installed Microsoft Office Pro, Adobe CS3, and Adobe Digital Editions. I uninstalled Skype, HP User Guides 0173, and HP QuickWeb Installer. A lot of the TouchSmart apps have also been removed except for the DVD one and Paint It!
My restore points also list "HP Configured" around the time I uninstalled the TouchSmart apps, but I don't know what this all entails.
I should also note that when the TouchScreen stops working, a lot of the drivers under "Human Interface Devices" in the Device Manager go missing.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I actually did read that and step through it. It did not help.
However, I think I may have found the solution. Because this is a problem of inconsistency, I cannot say 100% that the following solution works, but so far I have not had any problems.
1. Make sure the touchscreen is working. If not, shut down the computer and start it again until the touchscreen works.
2. Go to the device manager. Look under "Human Interface Devices" for some sort of USB drivers. There should be two (2). These are the problem children. (If the touchscreen is not working, these two drivers will not even show up, hence the reason for restarting the computer in step one)
3. Right-click on one and select "Update Driver Software". Let it run its course and select "Okay" when it is done. You will notice that the name of the driver changes.
4. Repeat for the other "USB" driver.
After the driver software is updated, the names should be "Wacom Gesture Touch" and "Wacom Pen".
Like I said, I am not positive yet that this is the fix, but so far so good. After a few days, I will let everyone know either way.

UNDO (Command+Z) stops working

I've had the undo command (command+Z) stop working a LOT lately. Anyone else experience this? It seems to be after I make a bunch of complicated changes that it simply will not undo the changes.
Note: If I close motion and DON'T save, and try all the changes again, the undo works. Something get's botched somewhere and I wonder if it's in memory management somewhere....
Does anyone else experience this?
Adam.

I'm having the same problem but it is consistent. Nothing seems to Undo, either by (Command - Z) or going to Edit and selecting Undo.
I'm just learning Motion and I don't want to go any further if I can't "Undo" a mistake.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close (stuck at 1650 files to go). So it allowed me to click cancel now it says "stopping" for 3hrs now. Is there anyway to force the MacBook Air (new model) to close as you can't remove the battery?

Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns itself off. This force-shutdown should be done only after you've exhausted other options (you seem to have done so).
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Then press the power button to start up the Mac. It will take a little longer to start up because it will perform additional self-tests on the first boot after a forced shutdown.
Once the bootup is complete, you should be able to delete the trash. Hold down the option key while choosing to empty the trash, which will automatically delete "locked" items.

Premiere Elements 9 stops working. A lot.

Just bought and downloaded Premiere Elements 9. Just playing around with a couple of titles, a short video clip and one photo. Premiere Elements must have stopped working at least four different times. Is this normal? I have a brand new HP laptop with all the necessary processors, memory and disk space. This seems odd.
Also, every time I go back and re-open, I get that annoying dashboard with the choice of organizing, new project or open project. Can I turn that off? I'd rather just go to the normal opening screen.
Thanks!

My change to small screen facility has suddenly stopped working. Can anyone help as I use this a lot.

the change to small screen icon in top right hand corner of screen has stopped working. Can anyone help.

When you use the maximize/restore button, the window is restored to its last size. Some websites use a script to enlarge the window to its maximum size so when you switch from maximized to restored you hardly notice any change. You may have to manually resize the window by dragging the lower right corner. Does that help, or is the button just completely not working??

Lots of Apps have suddenly stopped working...Help!

I've got an iBook G4 running 10.5.8 and for some reason a couple of weeks ago Safari stopped working. It would crash on launch every time. Then other apps started to follow, crashing on launch. I decided to update to 10.5.8 and Safari worked, but other apps still no longer work, like Firefox and 1Password and a bunch more. I've tried uninstalling some of the apps and reinstalling them, but I still have the same issues. I've tried running Onyx and fixing permissions, but still no dice. Also, every once in a while the computer won't come out of sleep. The computer will turn on, but the screen stays black and every now and then I get the blue screen of death for several hours. It feels like the iBook is on the way out. Any thoughts on how to save it?

I have a similar problem. And I really don't know how it happened. All was fine, I turned it off and when I switched it on next morning nothing worked.
Basically all my applications (apart from a dictionary, a music program and my system preferences) just bounce once and don't open. also, my desktop is empty, which it wasn't before the problem started. Even the finder won't open. But everything still seems to be on the hard disk because the music is still there and I can change the desktop picture choosing from my picture folders.
I tried to fix it with the instructions from the link you posted but didn't work. Thought it could be "Disk, permission, or cache corruption" or "Corrupted preferences other than those of the affected applications". Problem is that I can't run SMART diagnostics because I can't open the disc utility when putting in mac osx install disc. Also, I can't download anything to fix it because none of my browsers work.
Any ideas?

I use fastone capture a lot; recently it stopped working with firefox; can this be fixed?

Fastone has worked fine for me in firefox for a long time but recently stopped working. When I try to select an area of the screen that contains an image I want to save, the browser screen disappears and is replaced by a blank white screen. I deleted and reinstalled the program but no change. It works fine with windows explorer so I think it has to do with firefox.

So I went back to Firefox 3.6.17 and Faststone 4.5 (a combination that worked great with Faststone for a long time) and I still have the problem, i.e., click on the "define a rectangular area to capture" option in Faststone and the screen turns while. So I think it is not the versions of FF or FS that I am using but something else. Cannot think of any changes I made to the system in the time frame when the problem occurred. Have tried FireShot, as listed in the prior answer, and find it much harder to use than Faststone. Again my thanks to all who have responded.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
Please help, thanks in advance

The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
Good luck,
Hunt

Licensing stopped working CS2 Adobe Audition

So I'm having similiar problems the other guy had with Photoshop CS3 where the window pops up and tells me to activate the software. So I follow the dialogue and then I get a window that says it's unable to acitvate the software at this time and to call the phone activation (error code 93:-12). The nice lady in tech support told me, and I kid you not, that your licensing software has stopped working because you are using CS2 and we are currently in version CS4, you'll need to upgrade in order to continue using your software. Of course I was outraged, but I know she can't help me and knows nothing past what her superiors or computer screen tells her, so I thank her and hang up. My brother, who used to work at Adobe before they fired everyone in tech support and outsourced everything to India, told me start a thread on here. I really think it's just a licensing software issue, but I don't know how to fix it. I tried finding that flexnet folder, but I got nothing. FYI, Audition WAS working about 2 weeks ago, about the time I was having troubles with Premiere Pro CS3 (which now works thanks to lots of tinkering, which might have broken Audition). I just need a copy of Master Suite CS4

I just sent this email to friends who are Adobe users. This posting may get this thread put into a black hole someplace, but I don't care.
Just had a little problem with an Adobe program I had, Photoshop CS2. I had gone thru an XP restore and then back again. That process lost my Photoshop CS2 program activation. A window popped up that instructed me to reauthorize it by pressing the appropriate window button, up came error: 93:-12, and a message to get activation via telephone. When I called, I found that they could not give me the code. Could not....could not....how about WOULD NOT?
I Googled on error: 93:-12, and found a number, not great yet, of people who were having a similar experience and who were getting the identical responses from Adobe. I spent the last few days trying to get answers on this. I made about 6 phone calls to them trying to get help and answers. First of all, I just got Photoshop CS4. Please note that they do not advertise or advise of any incompatibility with CS2 programs. Anyway, here are some answers gathered from 4 - 5 tech support people in India:
* CS4 is not compatible with earlier versions and you cannot have both on...well, I did for several days till I lost authorization via performing and XP restoration.
* I must update all my CS2 programs to new Adobe programs for $$$.
* I can try reinstalling, but that may not work, and that is too bad.
* There is limited life to Adobe products and after an undefined time, they will not be activated by Adobe.
* Their servers were changed to not allow activation of older products because they are overwhelmed with blah, blah, blah.
* They cannot manually provide me with the code to put in the appropriate spaces on my desktop form because they don't have any programing available to generate these keys!
* The programs we have had many updates and this makes it impossible to activate their operation.
These, so-called "Tech Support" responses are laughable. This is all obviously BS, and, I think, illegal. Can you imagine purchasing a car, whose ignition lock can become inoperable after 3 - 5 years, and then be told to buy a new car to work on the new roads and streets!
One of their excuses was that they were overwhelmed by customers with "old programs" and cannot afford the resources to devote to activation of our programs. I hope you realize that there are unscrupulous people out there providing "code generators" that illegally activate Adobe programs. If these people have the resources, why cannot Adobe just post a teenie-weenie little "code generator" file for all to use. After all, according to them, the programs are obsolete anyway?
I hope you understand, that you and I, and millions of other may be denied the operation of legal, paid-for programs that will work perfectly, but for which Adobe refuses to supply operational activation. They are willfully and consciously denying us the use of program we purchased from them. Only one day after I did a system restore, the program was too old to be "supported," that is, by the simple act of permitting us to use the program we already paid for. We aren't asking for free support, but the right to use what we paid for. All you have to do is get a new hard disc, or new computer, and programs only 3 - 5 years old, that previously had worked flawlessly, will be turned off by Adobe.
If you have his problem, or have it in the near future, I suggest you call and complain. Try (as I did unsuccessfully) to escalate to a higher authority or obtain contact with their legal department, or to anyone with whom you can file a formal complaint. I would also take notes on their statements. One of the best things you can do, is write a formal complaint to your State Attorney General, or whatever they are called in your locale. If in foreign countries, you probably have local or governmental prosecutors. These people just love to justify their positions and often act upon citizen complaints.

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.
