Car often fails to recognize

Hi... I posted this on a corvette forum I post on and got no help so I will give it a try here... I bought a new Corvette in 2012. It's NAV/Radio sees my iPhone 4 when I plug it in to the car's Bluetooth connection as an iPod. All my iPhone music shows up and plays when I select the iPod as the source. But, what used to be when the car was brand new a year or so again a rare event is now becoming almost a daily problem. Often now when I plug my iPhone into the car, it says "device not recognized"... Unplugging and replugging does no good... Shutting down the car and starting it again does no good... The only thing I've found that works and seems to work every time is to disconnect, shut down the phone entirely, power it back up, plug it in again and then it is always recognized the next time I plug it in via Bluetooth... Why would that be??? And why would it have gotten so much worse such that something that used to happen rarely now happens often...
What am I doing when I shut down and restart the iPhone??? Any help would be much appreciated... thanks.. bob...

Nevermind...just had to do a full reinstall. That means going to firefox folder on my computer, running helper.exe from the uninstall folder, and unchecking the box that lets you save your themes, addons, bookmarks, etc. The reinstalled version works perfectly. Now I just have to find all those addons again...

I'm having problems with Gmail. Nothing happens when I click the settings button, and Gmail often fails to recognize when the checkbox next to an email is selected. What's up?

When I render the page in Internet Explorer using IE Tab Plus everything works just fine.

W500 w/ Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate fails to recognize some audio CDs

My DVD/CD drive (a HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-U20N) in my Lenovo W500 laptop (running Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate) fails to recognize some audio CDs.
It recognizes most audio CDs, but a few are not recognized by Windows 7 itself, or by any other program on my computer.
These CDs are recognized by other Windows 7 computers.
I don't think that it's a copy protection issue, since the CDs don't mention any copy protection scheme (and also since they work on other Windows 7 machines).
One CD that wasn't recognized by my machine was the second CD from a two CD set (the first CD was correctly recognized).
I have the latest updates for Windows, and all my programs, drivers, BIOS & firmware.
Thanks.

What kind of behavior are you getting from the drive? If it's spinning up, down, and up again your lens might be dirty or the drive could be failing.
If you do clean the lens, be careful. Do your research first or you might make it worse.
Edit: Replacements are:
42T2511 or 42T2541 (DVD)
42T2543 or 42T2513 (DVD/CD-RW combo)
42T2545, 42T2515 or 42T2551 (DVD-RAM/RW)
You can get the 42T2543 for $23 and the 42T2545 for $45 on eBay.

Why don't you reformat the drive in Disk Utility or Terminal. Screw that rubbish backup software on the seagate drive.

Scandisk or defrag fail to recognize hd volume

hello all, and happy holidays.
i've had this issue b4 but didnt pay too much attention to it, but now it has happened again so i am a bit bothered.
i have seagate 7200.7 120GB sata drive with ncq hooked to the nvidia sata controller #2.
The drive has 8 volumes (c-j), c,d,e,g,h are ntfs, the others fat32.
Sometime when my computer hangs and i've to reset it, scandisk fails to recognize some volumes (totally random this time f,i, always fat32) as valid win xp volumes.
I can still open these volumes and read and write to them, but cant run defrag (i use disk keeper pro) on them, or for that matter anyother hdd tools like windows scandisk etc.
Now when ever i reboot, scandisk kicks in complaining that it cant scan non-xp drives.
My options include turning off scandisk, reformatting (loads of data on them, really not a good option), find out whats causing it!!
So anyone here help me work on option three
Rest of the system is in the signature.
thanks.

Hello again tcdm1972,
This quote from a MicroMat technician is misleading and makes me wonder about abusingly promoting defragmentation (and using their products) as so necessary.
Yes, in certain rare cases one might benefit from defragmenting HD and HD free space, but in Mac OS X it is not so black and white question.
- In the more general usage of Mac OS X, defragmentation is actually counter-productive and defeats the very clever way Mac OS X has to rewrite every file on-the-fly onto the best possible location at this very moment, each time an application uses it.
Best location on the hard drive varies, depending on many more criteria than the simple contiguity.
About the term "optimization" in Apple software installs:
I find it misleading too, as all it optimizes is the launching of applications in Mac OS X
(it's the "update_prebinding" command really, nothing to do with defragmentation).
About OnyX, Yasu etc:
These too are small utilities to run quite harmless Terminal commands. They don't play in the same fields, nothing neither to do with defragmentation.
DiskWarrior too has yet another approach: Directory handling.
So, your original question about using iDefrag:
On their website they state
"To defragment your boot volume, you need to boot from a different volume"
as I said.
In your case, the solution is clear:
since you have two boot partitions on your HD,
- boot from Partition 1 to defrag Partition 2,
and
- boot from Partition 2 to defrag Partition 1.
That is, a copy of iDefrag installed on each of your Mac OS X volumes.

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

The sound often fails on my new MacBook Pro/ Retina and a restart is necessary. How to fix this?

Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Photoshop CC sometimes fails to recognize Nvidia card (GT 730M)

I run Photochop CC on my laptop and Photoshop sometimes fails to recognize Nvidia card (GT 730M), and I get an Intel driver crush notification.I set the Nvidia cardas prefered one for Photoshop and it still fails. Drivers are up to date. Any way to fix the issue?

If the Intel is the onboard graphics processor you could try disabling it in Device Manager and BIOS, and let the Nvidia card operate alone..

Superdrive Sometimes Failing to Recognize DVDs

I've had my MacBook Pro for about 15 months and the Superdrive is now sometimes failing to recognize blank media, or ejecting commercial DVD's after playing the movie for a few minutes. Obviously the warranty has expired and I'm thinking of buying an external drive if the problem can't be fixed inexpensively. Any suggestions as to how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I am having same problem. After updating to OS 10.5.2, my SuperDrive in my MacBook 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not play any DVD or Enhanced CD. (It will play audio CDs.)
For me, this is DEFINITELY an Apple software/firmware issue. When a DVD wouldn't play in my MacBook SuperDrive, I would instead use my MacMini successfully, which was running OS 10.4.x. I recently updated the MacMini by cloning my MacBook to it, and viola, succeeded in replicating the exact problem.
Also curious, my MacBook SuperDrive almost worked the first time I put my first DVD into it. DVD Player asked to set the region, which I did. It then refused to play the DVD or any other media DVD/CD subsequently.
I have no solution yet, but will share with all when I do.

Win 8.1 OS fails to recognize OJ Pro 8625 is installed

Had previously installed an OJ Pro 8600, and uninstalled it before purchasing and installing an OJ Pro 8625. Win 8.1 fails to recognize that the 8600 is no longer installed (printer & fax icon are still visible on the Printer Control Panel page).
Is there a scrubber to remove the 8600? I suspect vestiges of the 8600 are preventing the 8625 from being fully installed/recognized by Win 8.l.
Please advise a fix.
Thank you

Hey @chabela1944 ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
I understand you are looking to uninstall your 8600 entirely and then install your 8625. Just so you know computers are capable of have several printers installed on them at a time so having the 8600 installed on the computer wouldn't stop the 8625 from being installed.
Follow these documents I have linked you to below to do what you are asking about. You may need to click the
To uninstall the 8600: >> Uninstalling the Printer Software
Installing the 8625: >> Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless or Wired Network for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 86...
Let me know how it goes! Have a great day!

According to Panasonic's site the camera is iMovie compatible. So, you need to use iMovie...

Android Update -- now fails to recognize SD Card!

Android did an automatic update yesterday, and suddenly failed to recognize the SD Card. It keeps telling me the card has been removed and that I need to insert a new one.
This device has been rebooted, cache cleared, card viability verified. What gives?

Hi dont-have-time-for-this,
SD card issues are no fun, I feel you! I also have a Galaxy S3 and when I received my software update I did a factory reset http://bit.ly/LfV00q after installation to prevent any system conflicts and post update issues, and I have not experienced any issues with my SD card. Try it and keep us posted.

Windows 7 sp1
latest intel HD4600 driver
latest nvidia driver
latest PS
PS is set to nvidia gpu in control panel
Fails to recognize.
Was working on windows 8.1 which i ran off from

This is what you do guys.
Find NVidia inspector
Go into Profiles Customization
Find Windows Explorer profile
match two Optimus options like here
http://puu.sh/bx8KO/04c5c70c11.png
Save
Goto NVidia Control Panel
Find Windows Explorer there
use Nvidia Gpu on it (its unlocked now)
this forces explorer.exe to render on nvidia
after that PS recognizes NVidia properly
Cheers!

Mail fails to recognize names from address book

My information in address book shows as follows
Name: J Doe
Email address: [email protected]
If someone has me in their address book as Doe John and sends an email to me at my email address ([email protected]), Mail.app does not recognize me and asks me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
The same happens if a sender has a minor change in the Name (such as even a dot in the name) of any recipient, regardless of the fact that I have the correct name in the address book. Mail fails to recognize the recipient even though the email address is identical, and will ask me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
One would expect Mail to use just the email address and recognize the contact as already being in the Address Book.
I just spent a good three hours investigating this.
There have been numerous posts discussing this both here and elsewhere over the years but I'm surprised that there has not been a solution. Here are some examples..
1. Mail can't recognize my contact email address
2. Address Book editing
3. Mail doesn't show names from the Address Book
In the 3rd example above, Golden Shoes suggests that this is the same for every email client, but I must disagree because Postbox and Thunderbird does display the information correctly from the Address Book, infact Postbox does this impressively I must add.
It would be great if this was fixable in Mail. Is there a solution for this?

I followed your suggestions.
Both AB and AB within Mail were empty of contacts after I deleted my iCloud contacts from the mac. I even did a reboot just in case. After this, I rechecked contacts and all my contacts appeared again both in AB and AB within Mail.
I quit and reopened Mail to find that the problem still persisted. I know and rechecked that these contacts are not present in my previous recipients list so it is definitely not that database which is preventing this.
The funny thing (maybe not funny since this is really bugging me) is that Mail on iOS (iPhone) works just fine. The Mail on iPhone seems to query the sender/recipient email address, accurately realizes that the contact is already in the AB, and shows as such. The same email in Mail.app on the mac asks me if I want to add the contact to AB.
Is this really a unique situation? Is everyone else not experiencing the same?
If you ask someone to change your name within their address book and send an email to you, does Mail on the mac recognize you regardless of what that sender named you as? Or does it ask you to add to AB?
