Since I updated to OS X 10.9.2 my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard will no longer pair with my Mac Book Pro.

Try resetting the SMC.

  • HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

    my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

    What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT201541 Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months will not open since I updated to Yosemite.

    I purchased Final Cut 10.0.8 about 18 months ago but now it will not open --- since I updated to Yosemite.  How do I update Final Cut so I can use it again?

    You download the update from the App Store using the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
    You should read up about the newer versions before you update as the application has changed substantially since then.

    The additional Fraudsafe security feature used by Mastercard and Visa when buying products will not load since the Firefox update so no purchases can be made and I have to swap to using Internet Explorer instead :(

  • Brand new update of sync loops restart and will not install oct 8 update

    my latest firefox 3.6 auto updated sync and it loops the restart command but will not install the update to sync. no other instructions. i have to cancel update to get sync back. i do have another computer on the home network. all else is standard and simple desktop set up. i have win 7 x64 bit prof.

    I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed.  If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it.  I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device.  As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

  • My Bluetooth keyboard will not pair with os7 after working perfectly before the update

    My iPad mini won't pair with my Bluetooth keyboard anymore after updating to os7

    Forget the device again, then turn off bluetooth on your iPad, then turn both the iPad and the keyboard completely off. Wait 30 seconds to one minute. Now turn on your iPad and turn on bluetooth. Turn on your keyboard and pair them up again.

  • IMac G5 stops updating at 10.4.10, will not install any newer update/itunes

    My first post, let's make it a good one. I have two macs so I fell behind on updating this iMac due to a poor iternet connection. Now that I have a solid internet connection, I can't update it!
    About my iMac:
    Machine Name: iMac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac12,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 2.1 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 700 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.6f1
    Macintosh HD:
    Capacity: 233.64 GB
    Available: 174.74 GB
    Everything I find just seems to go womp, womp, woommppp in my face. I have verified and repaired both the disk & permissions, cleaned up cache files, validated preference files... all to no avail.
    Please help, what can I do to install 10.4.11? I believe I am behind on updating my airport as well. Probably everything that could be updated. DEFINTELY security updates.

    Hi urboyruru and welcome to the forums!
    The following is a general guide to safe updating, so some of it may be redundant for you, but as we have the same model iMac I feel qualified to speak!
    I would install the 10.4.11 combo updater first, then all the others. Note: just do one update at a time.
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • CS5 Bridge will not open, Air will not install, and AAM Updater will not update.  Please help!

    I am having several problems with CS5, and as best I can tell they all seem to be related.  I purchased CS5 about a month ago.  Photoshop has opened and ran fine.  However, recently AAM notified me some several updates available.  When I tried to update them they all failed.  This lead to the discovery that Bridge will not open at all, Air installs but with an error and cannot update itself or applications like Adobe Help, and since the AAM updater ran it now thinks everything is up to date.
    I have search endlessly for every piece of information I could find on this issue.  As well as, sat on the phone with tech support for hours.  As best I can tell, (and really I have no evidence to support me), it seems to all be related to a permissions issues.  However, I have tried everything the forums suggested with no luck, and Tech Support ended with me doing an Uninstall and reinstall (twice), while repairing permissions in-between.  I am about at the end of the road with this issue and would greatly appreciate any additional suggests you could offer.
    Some additional details.
    Running a MBP i7, 8GB RAM, and MAC OSX 10.6.4
    Bridge Issue,
         When attempting to launch Bridge it simply returns an error "This operation could not be completed..."  I tried the option click and reset method, no luck.
    Air Issue,
         Kind of works, but at the same time doesn't.  In that in one of the previous installations programs like Adobe Help would not run.  Now Help does run, however, when I go to update Air it says it completed successfully but then immediately gives me an error saying "~this may not be allowed by the administrator..."  I also cannot update Adobe Help, it just sits and says preparing to update.
    AAM Updater Issue,
         This appeared to work fine until I attempted to install an update.  It downloaded everything and then failed on the install.  However, now it thinks everything is up to date, but nothing is.

    Well despite not getting much love on this forum.  I was able to correct the problem.  I tried every solution that google would produce on these issues.  Ultimately it came done to permission issue.  I was lead to this fix by a person on flickr that suggested permissions as the cause.  However, his solution was to modify the permissions in the home directory root and apply them to every subsequent folder in the home directory.  Although quick and easy, I felt this would lead to more trouble then it was worth. 
    I did some more digging and what I discovered is that all the permission of the Adobe folders in the home directory library (not the HD library) and the application folder did not match all the other folders in those areas.  Some of the files in some of the folders did not match either.  So I made them match (the ones that matched I left alone), and everything seemingly went back to working normally.  It was a bit of a pain going folder by folder.  Fortunately there where not many of them.  About 8 in total, plus the internal folders.

  • Dec 2012 iMac using bluetooth keyboard will not exit Target Display Mode

    Hi! I have a new 27" iMac that I would like to use as a second monitor for my work laptop a late 2011 15" MBP. iMac is on 10.8.3 and Mac Book Pro on 10.7.5. Connected via a thunderbolt cable.
    I can toggle on Target Display Mode using the command-F2 keys on my bluetooth keyboard connected to the iMac. If I understand directions correctly, I should use the same keys and keyboard to toggle off – but it doesn't work. I'm able to work around by putting MBP to sleep, which exits the iMac out of TDM.
    I can use the work around, but...
    1) it's annoying.
    2) If I can't use the bluetooth keyboard to toggle, it would be nice to connect it to the MBP for use while in TMD. Unfortunately, the bluetooth keyboard is undiscoverable, presumably because it's still connected to the iMac.
    I wonder:
    Am I doing something wrong trying to toggle out of TMD using bluetooth keyboard?
    or
    Is there a way to enter iMac into TMD without using keyboard command? Maybe System Preferences?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Here's the solution: I had the same problem using my 27" iMac as an external display.  The issue is, when you go to Target Display mode, your target computer, the iMac 27" locks the screen with your password. 
    To switch off TDM, type your password in on the iMac keyboard and press the enter key.
    Now press COMMAND - F2 and the displays with switch back to two separate displays.  :-)
    I had to think like a computer to figure that out but it makes sense.
    I also have the disappearing mouse pointer and have not figured that one out.  I did all the software updates and I did not have this problem until I upgraded to Lion.  It is definitely a software issue.  I might have to open a case with Apple support.  Not happy.

  • Itunes will not load since recent update

    Hi, I have read some other posts about this issue but they all seem to pertain to Windows users. I am on a Mac PowerBook G4 and everything worked fine until the recent iTunes update. Now iTunes cannot/will not load. I have no access to my iTunes library and obviously cannot sync my iPhone. I have re-downloaded the update and installed, disabled all my pop up blockers and restarted my computer and get the same result.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx in advance!

    You probably want to work this issue over in the iTunes forum, and get more eyes-on there.
