BOTH computers have suddenly stopped synching with my Treo
Howdy -
I've been battling this for a week. First my home Mac, then my work Mac, within days of each other (no more than a week, maybe) stopped synching with my Treo. And I think the problem is with both computers!
Reason: The problem is clearly with the Transport Monitor on the Palm Desktop HotSynch. It ain't there. And before you ask, I've redownloaded the latest desktop (I already had the latest to begin with!), and restarted, several times on both computers in the past week. The EXACT same things happen:
- attempt at Hotsynch yields nothing on the computers. No reaction, no connection, no communication.
- Open Hotsynch on desktop; low and behold, Hotsynch is DISABLED - Ok; click on Enabled......and 5 seconds later, by itself, it DISABLES itself again.
--- and gives an error message: "Transport Monitor could not complete your request. (16)."
Ah-hah; that's why there's no communication with the Treo when it tries to Hotsynch, he says smugly. I'll check the Palm Folder.......checking....well, the Transport Monitor icon is there. Huh.
- simplest thing: re-download and install latest Desktop. Done. Restart.
- now, that's funny; while the computer was rebooting, that same darn error message came up: "Transport Monitor could not complete your request. (16)."
This is before the computer is 100% restarted even. It's almost like, during the restart process, when it checked (or tried to enable, I guess?) Transport Monitor, it was failing right there.
- Try to Hotsynch - again, Palm desktop doesn't even know it's happening; no communication with the Treo. (And no "Transport Monitor" error message, either; maybe because it doesn't know it's there?). Nothing.
- Go check. HotSynch; yup, same thing; Hotsynch is DISABLED - and won't allow itself to be enabled. Go to Palm Folder, and yup, Transport Monitor appears to be right there, size 360kb.
If there is a problem recognizing Transport monitor, even AFTER it is ENABLED; or, replaced with a brand new transport monitor (via the Desktop download)..... then he thinks he'll: trash the Transport Monitor. Empty the Mac trash. Restart. Then redownload the Desktop which includes a totally pristine Transport Monitor!
Ok! Restart.....
- and the exact same thing happens. During the Mac restart after yet another Palm Desktop download, that darn Transport Monitor error message comes up, just on the restart. Then repeat all the testing and checking above......nothing has changed.
AND THIS ALL HAS OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE MACS - one at work, one at home. And while they don't have identical software applications (naturally), they are acting exactly the same with this Palm Desktop error, too the tee - and they failed in this within one week of each other.
Both MacBooks are almost identical; both less than a year old; one with 4 gig RAM, one with 2 gig ram. Both running 10.5.7 . (Question: Is it possible for me to find out when each computer was updated to 10.5.7? Could that be the problem?? Or another of the common applications; e.g, I have the same version of Microsoft mac Office on both).
Guys, I haven't been able to hotsynch with EITHER computer for two weeks now - which for my lifestyle is unacceptable. "Help me, Obi- wan; you're......."
Standing by.....

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner
Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
(Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!Okay ... checking something else:
Current user is not an administrator
Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
(It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.) -
My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped synching to my Outlook 2010. This may be a result of downloading the recent iPhone and iTunes updates. I get this message: "iTunes unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try later." Another message tells me to delete the back up data on my computer as it is corrupted. I cannot locate this back up data. What should I do?
got that once a reboot and it was fine again

Mac suddenly stopped communicating with LAN devices, but internet access still OK.
My iMac has suddenly stopped communicating with my wireless printer and my blu-ray player (DLNA). Both have worked well for the past 3-4 weeks since I set up a new wireless router (Cisco EA4500).
Troubleshooting so far:
Printer Function: My wife's MacAir and my iPhone both print wirelessly to the printer. [OK]
2nd Printer connected to Mac via USB. [OK]
Blu-Ray Player Function: System is able to reach the internet (YouTube) via the wireless router. [OK]
Mac Function:
Internet access. [OK]
PRAM and SMC resets: [nothing]
Restarted "Playback" media server software for blu-ray (DLNA) server. [nothing]
Printer Setup: I have deleted and re-added the wireless printer and reset printer system. Mac will "see" the printer on the network, but cannot communicate with it. [nothing]
Attempts to use Epson Utility: Connection Error
Router Function:
Checked Firmware. Most recent version prior to the "Cisco Cloud" fiasco - my router did not auto-upgrade and was not involved in the most recent firmware upgrade.
I just cannot get the Mac to see any other hardware on the local wifi network, but the mac has no problem connecting to the internet.
Any ideas?
TravisHappened to me.Drove me crazy. Turns out, iMac can fix itself.
Go to system preferences then network and select the connection (wireless or ethernet) that you want to use.At the bottom of the box you'll find "Assist me". click that and follow the prompts. it will likely telly you that your settings are screwed up (surprise) and ask if you want to fix them or let DHCP do it. Just let DHCP do it. -
Some third Party Applications have suddenly stopped working
My Onyx, ClamXav. Tiger Cache Cleaner and Speed Download have suddenly stopped opening when I click the application. Eudora, Firefox, NeoOffice, Quicken and MT Newswatcher still function normally. I can't download anything, probably because Speed Download is set to perform that function but isn't working.
The only other unusual sign is that the Sleep function is also taking 10-15 sections to kick in when I click it from the pull down menu. Any idea what's happening?

1. Does Safari actually crash?
If so, could you copy & paste the most recent report
for us here?
As indicated, I deleted Safari 3 without using the uninstall app; as a result even Safari 2 is not in my apps folder. And in fact when attempting to deal with this problem I found and deleted everything on the computer with "Safari" in the title. And don't ask me to reinstall Safari 2 from the Options package on my install disk; I've already tried that and the Options package won't open.
2. Could you check your System Preferences, and tell
us what is listed in the login items? (Blue
Apple>Sys Prefs>Accounts>YourAccount>Login Items.
"iTunes Helper," Kind: "Application;" three listings for "Expander Daemon," Kind: "Unknown;" one listing for "Expander Daemon," Kind: "Application;" AdobeResourceSynchronizer, Kind: "Application;" "CrossOver CD Helper," Kind: "Unknown;" "MultiAlarm Check," Kind: "Unknown."
3. Do a "Get Info" on the Safari app in your
Applications Folder.
What version does it say it is? (Select Icon, press
the Apple key along with the letter "i" key).

TS1363 My Iphone stopped synching with my computer
Can anyone give me any ideas? My Iphone stopped synching with my Itunes. I can see the phone on my computer but Itunes does not recognize it.
I have a similar issue with iTunes and my iPhone 5S (7.0.4). Of course this was after the most recent update to iTunes blew away iTunes and the forum here walked me through the process to get iTunes back. I used to be able to plug in my iPhone 5S to my PC and sync'ing worked flawlessly. Now it seems that either the new update to iTunes of this latest software update to the iPhone prevents the sync'ing of music ptoperly.
Of further note is the fact that when I would make a manual change to a playlist on the iPhone directly and then sync'd it with iTunes, the changes I made on the iPhone were wiped out. I don't know which is the problem but it seems that the 2 are not compatible.
After the issues I had (as many others had) with the latest update to iTunes, I won't update iTunes any time in the near future. I am sorry that I did and I am also sorry that I allowed the update to my iPhone happen a month ago.
Any assistance would be appreciated. -
My question mark and forward slash key have suddenly stopped working. Have I pressed something I shouldn't have. Any ideas what to do.

If they do nothing at all, double check system preferences/speech and make sure they have not somehow gotten set as the trigger for Text to speech or speech recognition, etc.
Also try an external keyboard. If it works ok, then your internal keyboard is probably damaged and needs repair or replacement. -
I own toshiba laptops. Both computers have the latest itunes software. However the 'show menu' does not appear on the screen?
Thanks for the response diesel. I dont think I clarified my question very well. I'm trying to do home sharing between mine and my wifes computers. The intructions say:
Log in as the same user on each computer.
Ensure both are current version.
Choose the correct list in sharing ie Music
Then in the 'show menu' at the bottom of the screen, choose items not in my library.
I do not have the show menu to select any songs.
Any help appreciated.

Why has my Apple USB SuperDrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?
Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.Try the options on this list:

While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
Help???Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to! -

My sent messages in outlook for mac suddenly stopped syncing with my iPhone and iPad, all other folders work correctly. How can I get them to start syncing again?
You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.
