  • My iMac doesn't recognize by usb keyboard since I installed security update 2015-002

    I installed Security Update 2015-002 on my iMac and since then it doesn't recognize my usb keyboard (I'm typing this with a bluetooth keyboard). I rebooted, unplugged and plugged back in the keyboard all to no avail.
    My system:
    Yosemite 10.10.2
    Mid 2011 iMac 27"
    3.4 GHz i7
    16 GB RAM
    Keyboard: Apple extended USB
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Mine works okay.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one. 
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Bootcamp 5 & Windows 7 install

    Hello. I wanted to put this out there after getting terrible phone support from Apple over my bootcamp installation. After my harddrive died and was replaced by AppleCare, I had been attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my iMac for over a week with no luck, and multiple phone calls of worthless advice from AppleCare on the problem and solution. My iMac: mid 2010, 21 inch running 10.8.3 with Bootcamp 5. When installing, I would have no troule partitioning the drive, and it would reboot to windows install disk only to get held up right after selecting Language / Keyboard with the message that a CD / DVD driver was missing and could not be found. I did create a USB drive with drivers from Bootcamp 5, but none of these would satisfy Windows 7.
    AppleCare phone support insisted that Windows was NOT looking for a driver on the USB drive and the problem was from other issues: My first install used a DVD burned from an ISO file (obtained from microsoft and burned at slowest speed). They insisted that if I obtained an original instal disk of Windows 7, it would install correctly. So I purchased an OEM version of Windows 7 from Fry's for $99. Attempted install: same message about a missing driver. AppleCare claimed I needed a full version at $199. The AppleCare supervisor GAURANTEED this would be the problem. Fry's would not exchange my disc which was already opened, but informed me they'd be happy to install it, and it should not be a problem. After talking with the Fry's tech team, I attemped another install using the Bootcamp 4 drivers, downloaded from apple, and stored on a USB drive. Bam. Installed NO PROBLEM.
    The problem was with Bootcamp 5 drivers (stored on a USB by Bootcamp) did not work on my system for the Windows 7 installation. This despite a number of assurances from Apple that the Bootcamp drivers were not the problem, THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I wasted a week of my life trying to get Windows 7 reinstalled. Please apple, get your act together and fix this issue, or at least give your customers accurate advice. If nothing else, maybe my message here will save someone else the headache.

    Thanks again for the reply CS. Now I do actually have a question or two. This install was a reinstall of windows 7 after getting my iMac's harddrive replaced for Smart errors. And yes, I found the inability (or perhaps just a lack of doing so?) to back up my previous installation of Windows and have it easily restored in Time Machine to be a major PITA. I have been considering getting Parallels, or something similar. If I do, I'm wondering two things:
    1. am I able to use my OEM version (tied to one machine, the same one that it is installed in Bootcamp on)?
    2. Does Windows 7 within Parallels then get backed up in Time Machine, making it easily restorable?
    thank you!
    1. Yes, but you will have to activate one of the two manually (phone call to MS)
    2. Yes, a VM is just another file, can be copied / moved / backed up like any other file.
    And even though there was no 3
    3. Parallels would be my last choice of VM, it is the fastest but the least reliable in my experience. From preference I use VirtualBox, and not because it is free, I own Fusion but no longer use it. Try VBox before spending money on another.

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • TS1500 I have connected my iphone to the pc, but the pc doesn't install it.

    When I attach my IPhone to my PC, my PC doesn't install it. It doesn't show up on the My Computer list of devices.

    I have 200 photos on my Camera Roll which I want to copy to my PC.  When I put the USB thing into my PC port, the PC does not "see" it.  It's not listed as connected under Computer, like my flash drive will show up, so I can select it.  ITunes comes up, but under the IPhone part, the Photos page is empty.

  • Officejet pro 8600 doesn't install on one computer in network

    A week ago I bought the pro 8600. I installed it in a little network (4 computers) using usb.
    I shared the pro on the computer it was connected to. On two computers one using windows 7 and one XP, the printer installed without a problem. On the last one with windows 7 I ran in a problem.
    I am not able to add the pro,  I got a diiferent icon I tried HP doctor and it stated I have got the wrong drivers. I installed the program using the cd rom without result. I have tried to install the printer connecting it directly to the computer but without result. It shows up in the printer list with the wrong (other than on the 3 other computers) icon with the correct name, but I amnot able to print with it. 

    I forgot to mention that the four computers are workstations connected by ethernet cables to my server. The computers don't have wifi. The server uses Centos and is connected to the router by means of a virtual networkcard. It is very unpractically to connect the printer to the server, or to the router.
    It lookes like there are some old drivers from other old HP printers I used to have, and now are recognized as the correct drivers. I don't even know if this possible. Or the drivers aren't completely installed.
    It is in my opinion also very curious the printer doesn't install correctly when it is directly connected to the problem-computer.
    By the way thank you for trying to solve the problem.

  • Bootcamp assistant doesn't give partition choice

    I have a late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with a 512 GB SSD and an external USB had drive. When I run Bootcamp Assistant, it gives only the USB drive as an install location. I'd like to partition the SSD but I don't see how to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    OK, got it all installed. I misread the instructions for Windows Support Software, thinking that USB was to be plugged in before Win install - not so. Also, Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool did not make a bootable USB that the Mac recognized. So the solution path for me, working with a windows ISO image was:
    1. Use Daemon Tools to mount the Windows iso image file to allow Bootcamp to start
    2. Use Bootcamp to make the bootable USB drive from the iso file.
    3. Set up Bootcamp partition with Bootcamp Assistant.
    4. Reboot to install Win7. Couldn't install on the Bootcamp partition, needed to reformat to NTFS.
    5. Wireless Mouse/trackpad did not work during Win7 installation. I had to use keyboard only.
    6. When Win7 installation was complete, tried to run Windows Support Software, which was needed for 64-bit versions of windows, according to DL1638. Did not run and reported not compatible with this Mac(!).
    7. Windows 7 Ultimate now installed and up and running.
    A curious observation on the Windows "experience index". This iMac has a PCIe connected SSD yet the disk performance reported by Windows came in at 5.9. All other indices were 7.8 - 7.9. (7.9 is the highest value.) I don't know whether this is a Win7 issue or what.
    In any case, all appears to be up and running successfully. Thanks for your help and persistence.

  • [SOLVED] Problem compiling kernel for an Arch install on USB pendrive

    I've installed Arch linux to a USB pendrive and I'm building a kernel for my specific hardware (Acer Aspire One) so as there is no kernel26.img file needed. 
    I've used gothicknight's custom kernel but it doesn't work for me as it doesn't recognise my USB stick (/dev/sdb).  Instead, it just recognises the SSD (/dev/sda).  I believe the standard Arch kernel uses a "hook" called "usb" in order to work from a USB stick - at least that's how I've got the current (default) Archlinux kernel working.
    I'm not that skilled at linux and am still quite new to kernel compilation (I've done it once or twice before and, yes, I've read the ArchWiki articles - both of them).  Can anyone tell me what I should do to get things working on a USB stick install?
    Kind regards
    Last edited by Shagbag (2008-09-30 20:27:49)

    Solved it.  I didn't need to recompile.  I just needed to add 'rootdelay=5' as a kernel boot parameter.

  • HT3986 In using bootcamp to partition and install Windows on my computer, the partition step stops and sends me a message that "files cannot be moved" so partitioning is incomplete.  I am stuck. Please help.

    In using bootcamp to partition and install Windows on my computer, I keep hitting a snag.  Message says that partitioning can not be completed because files can not be moved.  I have tried several things but nothing seems to be helping to move the process along.  What should I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    In most of the cases, that message appears when there's a problem with the filesystem, so you have to repair the disk. This doesn't mean that the hard drive is damaged.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac, and check Version. If it's 10.5 or 10.6, insert the Mac OS X DVD of the version you are using and press C key while your Mac is starting. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting. After doing this:
    1. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility (if you have 10.5 or 10.6) or open Disk Utility (10.7 and 10.8).
    2. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk.
    3. Restart, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows on the Mac

  • ITunes version 11.0.2.26 doesn't install

    The latest update to iTunes doesn't install correctly.  After the update ran, I received error -42404 and couldn't connect to my AppleTV.  I followed the instructions and removed and reinstalled.  Now I get an error that AVFoundationCF.dll cannot be found and iTunes won't startup.
    I believe before this update I was running the 32 bit version of iTunes.  Originally I could not get the 64 bit version to work, the 32 bit version worked fine.  Now it seems to want to replace the 32 bit version with 64 bit version.
    Any suggestions?

    You can try to completely uninstall iTunes from your PC, remove your preferences (remember to backup your data) and then install the latest version: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    It should fix it but again, backup your content and settings first!

  • ITunes doesn't install on Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi everyone.
    I have tried to install iTunes on my Windows but I just can't be sucessful. After the installation process, I get the message that the program was correctly installed, but then I don't have the program, it wasn't installed. I get no errors, iTunes just doesn't install, but says it was installed.
    I have searched about this problem but didn't find anything like that.
    Does someone have any idea? My Windows is 7, Home Premium.
    Thanks.

    I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

    When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
    The installer installs
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    iTunes
    But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
    My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
    i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
    i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
    sb help me pls !!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
