  • Most of my apps do not work after 3.1 upgrade

    Most of my apps do not work after 3.1 upgrade. I have done a softboot 2 times and they still willnot connect.

    Are you running the current version of the 3rd party apps on your iPhone - have you checked for app updates with iTunes on your computer?

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.

    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • IBooks bookmarks not working after 1.2 upgrade

    I have noticed the bookmarks on my iPad iBooks are not working after upgrading to 1.2 today.
    I am unable to bookmark pages when I need to. It only works sporadically.
    I have also noticed when closing a book and reopening, the book opens at last bookmarked page instead of last page read.
    Please advice about any fix.

    Same problem here, Bookmark always worked properly before iOS 5. I too noticed this while reading Steve's biography, ironic??
    I have noticed that besides it appearing on previous page, that if I turn to lanscape and chose the bookmark it is appearing on the right of the second page of the two that appears as should be. So I wonder if this is some problem of formating between landscape 2 page view and the single page portrait view?
    My two cents but this is sure annoying!  I have not seen it jump back like some noticed however, just previous page in portrait view!

  • Amd video drivers not working after win 10 upgrade

    AMD video drivers not working after win 10 install. running on microsoft basic driver, call hp smartfriend assistance. appearently there is a fix but hp will not help unless i pay 100.00$ US because the warranty has expired on my notebook.Have a pavilion dv7 was running AMD Mobility Radeon HD5000 series. Thank you hp will not be purchasing an hp product again.  Alienware here i come.

    Not much we can do since your model is not supported by Toshiba for Win 10 upgrade according to THIS list so there is no Win 10 driver for your TouchPad. That button, however, is not the only way to disable/enable the TouchPad.  FN+F9 does it and you can fix it where, when you plug in an external mouse, it will automatically be disabled.

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • IPhone 4S cameras do not work after iOS 8 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4S 16 GB, It worked perfectly under iOS 7.1.2. . . I upgraded the OS to iOS 8.0.2 about two weeks ago. ( Bad Move )
    I noticed right off that my device was running a little slower, lagging, and worst of all my "Camera"  App does not have an image At All ! ! !
    The Flash options, HDR options, Timer options, will switch back and forth, but that is all that works, none of the bottom selections work at all,
    and when you hit the front/back camera icon, it freezes /locks the options that did work. I have done a deep restore twice on the device,
    restored as New Device, still no change at all on the behavior of the Camera operation. One thing I did find out though, it is a Glitch in the iOS
    software, pertaining to the Cameras Operation, reason being, is that I can go into the preinstalled Game Center App on the iOS 8, click on Add Photo,
    click on Take Photo, and there are my cameras, working perfectly, front & back. I have done a lot of research on this issue over the past two weeks,
    Reading Apple's own Compatibility Devices which start at iPhone 4S and later for the iOS 8.0.2, But, If you go into the iPhone iOS 8.0.2 Operators Manual, go to camera section, you will see that there are several of the New functions of the Camera that are only compatible with iPhone 5 and later. Leaving the iPhone 4S not capable of executing the full capabilities of the New Camera App. I've chatted with Apple Online Chat Support for several hours two days ago, the only resolve they had was to send the device in or take it to an Apple Store and they would correct that issue "Free of Charge", even though ,my iPhone is 3 years out of warranty, because it is a Software related issue.... All I wanted to do is find a way to revert back to iOS 7.1.2, I found out very quickly, that is Impossible to do, because it violates Security Issues and Apples Terms of Agreement," Leaving them Not Responsible for any issues what so ever that occurs to your device downloading the iOS 8.0.2. . Which in my opinion, is pretty messed up. . What is the Big Deal of reverting back to any iOS you want, Apple should support every iOS version they have, not the users fault that a New iOS does not work right on their device, slowing it down, etc...I run Windows 7 on my PC, I can revert back to any OS I want, no problem at all.. . Anyways, back to iPhone issues, The other issues I got with the upgrade is that, My device will not power back on after I power it off now, I have to do a reset to get it to booted back up and running, and when I do so, there is a white halo that appears on my screen for several hours, then it will finally dissipate (no idea what that's all about), , Also, the battery life is much shorter now, had much better battery time on iOS 7.1.2 . . . Apple Support said that my Case was the first they have heard of, which surprised me.

    I'm not quite clear on how your phone is working right now. I also don't know what "every possible thing" means so here is what you can do to troubleshoot software issues yourself. To be safe do a backup before doing anything.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Just so you are aware, now that you've had a local hardware person repair the phone you no longer have any warranty or service support from Apple. Good luck.

  • FaceTime Camera Not Working After Yosemite Upgrade

    So After I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, my FaceTime Camera stopped working.
    Every time I turned on FaceTime or Photo Booth, the green light on the camera started to blink like crazy but nothing would show up on the screen. It was just black. And I tried different user too, not working.
    I tried to reinstall Yosemite, no luck.
    Tried to rest SMC and PRAM, no luck.
    Tried safe boot, no camera in safe mode.
    Tried repair disk permission, no luck.
    Here is how it showed in system report, I thought it would be more details?
    I am using MBP with Retina late 2013 model. I am 90% positive that the camera was working before this upgrade.
    I don't know whether anyone else encounter the same problem and I am afraid it's something I installed that's causing the problem. In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back.
    Thanks!

    You have done the right things.  With all you have tried, some third party item you have added is a very good guess as to what could be causing your trouble.  The biggest difficulty will be determining which installation caused the trouble.
    I am certainly not experiencing your problem on any of my 10.10 Macs.
    geoffreysong wrote: ... In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back...
    Right again!  The way to prevent reinstalling the problem (and to prove your guess was correct) is to reinstall OS X using the OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X instructions.
    Next, before adding anything else, test your camera using the applicable suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight article.  (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
      • If the camera works now, your suspicion is correct.  You can then add ONE needed app FROM ITS ORIGINAL SOURCE (not from any of your backups) and test the camera again.  If the camera fails, you have found the problem app.  If the camera works, continue adding apps one at a time, testing thoroughly between each addition.  After all your apps are added back, if your camera continues to work correctly, you can copy your data files back from your latest backup.
      • If the camera doesn't work immediately when nothing has been added to your fresh Mac OS X installation, you most likely have a hardware problem.  There are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Camera not working after upgrading to iOS7

    I have a 16GB 4th gen iPad that came with iOS6 and was doing pretty fine till last week when I updated to iOS7 and the cameras stopped working; both front and back camera. The camera freezes and screen turn black. I did a reboot, upgraded to 7.0.2,  still the same! Any help? Is there a way I can restore iOS6?

    My understanding is: no, there is no way to revert back. You might like to visit https://discussions.apple.com/message/23179003#23179003
    Where some suggestions have been posted on resetting the camera - some worked and some not; nothing's worked for me, yet.  The only sure fire way is to pay for a repair for something that Apple broke.

  • Built in Factetime HD Camera not working after SSD upgrade

    Hey guys,
    So I went ahead and removed my optical drive and replaced it with a 2nd drive caddy bay and an SSD. I've rechecked all my wiring and everything twice and disconnected everything and reconnected it to make sure it's all correct, and it is.
    Here's my issue
    My Facetime HD camera is saying "camera is not connected" in all applications. Skype, Facetime, Photobooth, iMovie, and even under USB in "System Information" it's not showing up. My computer is completely up to date (All software updates have been performed), and I've reset my SMC, and NVRAM multiple times with no result.
    A breakdown of what I've done these past few days:
    I added a 2nd drive caddy and installed the SSD there, and made that my system disk drive (OSX is running from that drive). I formatted the old drive and it's still in its original location.
    Any idea of what is wrong or how to fix the problem?
