CD Drive not working since last set of updates

Anyone else have the problem? It affected my CD drive on my iMac G5...the drive scans and scans blank or recorded CDs then after a while spits them out.
I guess it could be something wrong or dirty with the drive, but was suspicious since ih just happened after that last set of quicktime and iTunes updates.....

I would not use fstab, because the removable media would require an entry per disk. I show the classic way, but nowadays. udev can handle this for you.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT4623 My sounds for such things as Netfix, or ABC Shows, etc does not work since last update. How do I fix that?

Sound not working since last upgrade. Get no sound with Netflix or ABC, NBC,etc. worked fine before last update.
How
do I fix this?

Hey Janetna5,
Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
via iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.
Thanks,

Screen rotation not working since last update

I have had my galaxy s4 for almost a month and love it, but it recently had a software update and ever since the screen rotation is not working. The camera is always upside down. Occasionally if the screen rotates to landscape, it won't rotate back to portrait when I turn the phone back the other way. I have tried to restart the phone. I have unchecked and rechecked the auto screen rotate setting. Nothing fixes it. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

Thank you Klue for responding, but when I followed your instructions, I could not find a setting for Gyroscopic calibration. I researched it further, and learned that the latest software update for the S4 eliminated this setting. If anyone else has suggestions, please help! I can't post photos on social media because they are all upside down. Help please!!!!

Nokia 5800 XM camera flash not working since last ...

I had purchased the Nokia 5800 XM and the camera was fine, and it still is, but the flash for night photos does not work. It has completely stopped working.
What is the solution to fix it?
Please will appreciate.
Hopefully
Jerry

Hey Jerrydecarona
Please go to your camera settings and activate Night shooting mode or night portrait mode and Turn on the flash.
If this does not work please perform a hard reset using the code *#7370# security code 12345 if asked, remember to back up first using Nokia Suite.
As your flash is is working during the day, I do not think that this issue is a hardware problem. But if these steps do not solve your issue please visit a Nokia Care Point to take a closer look at your device.

CAC not working since 4.0.5 update.

I performed the following updates and have not been able to successfully use my CAC card to access DoD webmail and restricted sites since:
Java for OS X 10.6 update 1
Safari 4.0.5
I configured my MacBookPro using the CAC on Mac website http://militarycac.com/apple.htm which had worked great prior to Safari 4.0.4.
Can I revert or can someone help me?

I'm having a similar problem with my CAC card and outlook web access. Mine however, goes a little further into my own OS. First off, my webmail used to work, and now doesn't. I never used to have problems with the keychain, nor did I have to use the ID pref workaround mentioned below.
I've gotten to the point where I cannot even open keychain with my CAC card inserted without getting a beachball of death. 95% of the time it results in keychain locking up an having to be force quit. I can occasionally coax keychain to let me click on the CAC card to see the certificates, but the second I click on one, poof keychain is dead. Interestingly, if I first click on the encrypted email cert, and then highlight the other two, it won't lock up and I can copy them to one of my other keychains. I can't click on either the DOD or DOD-EMAIL certs by themselves tho. Also, if I create an identity preference, the only way to get it to work is to create one based on the encrypted cert, and then edit it and change it to one of the other two. After that the cert, typically, works fine
I'm also using Safari 4.0.5 and performed the Java update, and a subsequent update. I'm trying to pin down when it stopped working and I'm thinking it was late December or early January.
Looking back at my software update history, I installed 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4 in November. I recall the card worked until at least early/mid December, so thats not the issue. I installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1 (1.0) in mid December and the 2010-001 Security Update a few days later. The next relevant update was Safari 4.0.5 in mid March, but it was long broken by then. I'm convinced that the problem was the security update as my CAC/OWA login was working just fine in early December.
I can click on my identity preferences, delete them, once in a blue moon after a fresh restart I can even right click on the CAC certificate and create a few new identity preferences.
After tooling around on militarycac.com/apple.htm I noticed a blurb about certain websites reporting an incompatibility. The instructions directed me to use the develop menu (turn the menu on in the advanced tab in safari prefs) to change the reported browser type from Safari to IE. I got https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows/ to work, by following the instructions. For sh*ts and grins, I tried webmail with safari reporting as IE and still nothing. It still won't even recognize that it should be asking for a CAC certificate.
Interestingly enough, for the NROWS page, I didn't have to create a new identity preference. I was prompted to select a certificate in safari, in the background I had keychain open and noticed that it automatically created an identity preference. In that vain, I deleted my identity pref for webmail and just tried hitting the link, hoping it would auto create one. It didn't. Interestingly, I get the same 500 internal server error when I have an identity preference for webmail as I do without one. Weird.
The following excerpt doesn't really apply in my case as I'm not using those versions of the card, but might be helpful to someone, so I'll report it here. Excerpted from militarycac.com/apple.htm: +If your new CAC (the one you were just issued) does not work, you may have received one of the new PIV II CAC's. You can tell if yours is this type by looking on the back at the top for either of these: "Gemalto TOP DL GX4 144K" or "Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual." A possible fix for you is to download the updated TOKEND from MAC OS FORGE.org download the CAC-NG (BETA v0.96)+
+INFORMATION: The Smart Card Services Project Team is pleased to provide access to theBETA for CAC Next Generation (a.k.a. CAC-NG) Tokend support for Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard". Support for Snow Leopard is forth coming, but you can proceed to test with your Mac OS X 10.5.6+ machines with this installation.+
Surprisingly, for https://secure.bol.navy.mil/menu.aspx I simply clicked the CAC login button. I was surprised that I wasn't prompted for a CAC certificate, nor was a prefrence created in keychain, but it worked just fine. That got me clicking on some other websites I haven't been to on my laptop since the problems started and which I used to have ID prefs for. I've listed them below, these are mostly navy sites, one army, and all work fine.
https://ntmpsweb.ntmps.navy.mil/fltmps/ no preference used/created
https://npc.navy.mil/ no preference used/created
https://secure.bol.navy.mil/menu.aspx no preference used/created
https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/portal/home?cacLogin=true preexisting preference
https://infosec.nacy.mil/ no preference used/created
https://www.us.army.mil/ no preference used/created
https://nrows.sscno.nmci.navy.mil/nrows id pref auto created
I'm just experiencing some weirdisms with keychain, and a total no-go for webmail... any thoughts? I've tried to give all the info I've found out. Here is some other misc info as per my system.
Installed/configured/misc troubleshooting:
- cookies deleted
- ID prefs deleted and recreated
- disk verify / permissions fixed
- Keychain 4.1 (37196)
- CAC card version Oberthur ID One V5.2a Dual 2050...
- SCR3310 v2.0 (driver version 2.4.1 http://www.txsystems.com/scmdrivers.php)
- DOD Root CA 2
- DOD EMAIL CA-19 (corresponds to the email cert CA-19 on my CAC card)
- CAC certs installed/copied to login (also tried them with system)
- CAC certificates recently reinstalled on the CAC card by PSD and the certs/prefs in keychain are updated
- X509 Anchors installed in keychain (tho it worked fine without as well, this seems to be optional)
Not using parallels, this is strictly in Mac OS X running safari. Permissions have all been repaired and using my root login or my standard one there is no difference. I have five other mac users who I've personally set up their cards/webmail access and all stopped working at about the same time. We're all using various versions of iBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros and OS versions from 10.5 thru the latest build of 10.6.3. According to https://infosec.nmci.navy.mil/PKI/appendixa.pdf the reader we're using should be fine.
Something else is going on here. Not sure what tho. Hopefully the info I've posted can help someone knowledgeable shed some light on something.

My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

My adobe flashplayer latest version will not work since firefox 7.0 update

I know there is a problem with this because I have already seen it many times on the internet. Not happy that I can no longer watch any videos since the update. I have downloaded the latest version of adobe. I can see the"flash player" under my control panel but it is not listed in my plugins under the tools/add-ons.
I also followed the procedure shown on mozilla support to download the add on manager but it did not work either. It does also state on the mozilla website that they are quite aware that this has caused a problem for many. When is this going to be corrected?
So, I finally went back to Firefox version 3.6 just so I could still see my videos.

Hello, first update Firefox to v17.0.1 (or in the next days v18) please.
Are your drivers and DirectX up to date (very important) ?
Do you have tried to disable Flash Player Protected Mode (since v11.3) ? (that could explain why it is working with Flash Player v11.2)
Do you have tried to disable Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player or/and Firefox) ?
Do you have tried to disable all other extensions and plugins in Firefox ?
Do you have tried to use the Firefox safe mode ?
Do you have tried to disable your antivirus / firewall programm ?

Why is my Siri not working since OIS 8.2 update

Hello Boberoone,
That is interesting that you are not able to get Siri to respond to you. It could be a microphone issue or maybe an internet connection issue but to start you on your way of resolving this, take a look at the article below.

Voice commands not working since V2.3.340 update

Voice Commands has stopped working since the upgrade. When voice commands is activated, it flashes a "please wait" screen then goes back to my home screen. I tried power reset and data clear for the voice commands app. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Recently, I also had a small issue with Voice Command on my Droid X. Although, it wasn't the same as your issue.
My issue was with the audio response of Voice Command. Voice Command could understand me but the Voice Command "voice" was muted and not available.
I eventually traced the cause to the Droix X being "paired" with a Panasonic "Blue Tooth" 6.0 Land Line telephone system.
Turning off Bluetooth on the Droid X corrected the Voice Command audio issue.
I am sure it could have also been corrected by "un-pairing".
So, my point of posting is to keep searching for the cause. It's there somewhere. Have you done the 30 second Battery Pull procedure?

Need a fix.
