Certain screensavers no longer work

Why did my iTunes Artwork screensaver stop working? I can understand why my installed screensavers might stop working but a screensaver that came with the laptop? I updated to the current version of iTunes and it didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for all the non-response to my problem. I took it to an Apple Genius Bar and after an hour an a half of screwing around with the operating system, it was concluded that the operating system, although reloaded 3 times fpor Apple's web site, was somehow corrupt and, loading it from the bar's portable systems keeper drive as an Archival Install, everything is up and running in like new condition. And it didn't cost me a dime. Try that with a Dell. Kudos to the Aplle Genius Bar.

Scrapbook and Snapshots screensavers no longer work after Yosemite upgrade

Upgraded to Yosemite and discovered that the Scrapbook and Snapshots screensaver modules don't work now. Here's how they appear in my screensaver preference pane:
The Scrapbook screensaver doesn't work at all; the Snapshots screensaver will load but isn't fully functional - it only displays a single photo at a time, it doesn't show the background photos any more. Snapshots was my preferred screensaver too. Any thoughts besides a clean reinstallation of Yosemite?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
500 GB Flash storage
Intel Iris 1536 MB

I saw, from a clean install of Yosemite of a friend, that these two screensavers are not there.
Probably I have brought them back from Snow Leopard.
I would like to remove them from the list of screensaver (or recharge the list of default screensaver), you know if it is possible and how?
I thought I would delete the file screensaver.plist, but I would not combine damage.
Thank you and hello

I have found since updating to the new firefox that certain links no longer work. Has anyone else experienced this. It is becoming a real issue.

For example, google search page links or links on certain web sites work in Safari but in firefox they are simply dead.
Clicking on some google search page links takes you to a blank page or one with an error message. Links on shopping pages and credit card sites are non-responsive, for example, to download statements.

Thanks very much for your response.
Its worked like a charm. Still rather odd that the home button doesn't work though.
Have a great day and appreciate the tip very much.

I have updated the latest software on my iPhone 4s and now I can no longer open up the iPhone settings from iTunes and certain apps no longer work on the phone itself.

Anyone else have this problem?

OMG I just upgraded as well and only my apple pre-installed apps work anything I downloaded wont open. This is a mess. I tried resetting and rebooting and nothing.

Certain programs no longer work

A re-install after a kernal panic, everything seemed to be working fine except for the following: Safari, System Profiler, Printer Utility and printing to the printer physically connected to the computer. These are the only ones I know about so far. I can print to a networked printer but when I attempt to use the Printer Utility to choose another printer, the utility "suddenly quits". I tried to use the System Profiler to see if the printer was recognized on the buss, but found out that program won't even start. I've tried all the usual, trashing plists, reinstalling, etc. (I've reinstalled the OS three times) and nothing seems to work. I've run Drive Genius and, except for a "volume" that it was unable to repair, everything else checked out fine. I've also reinstalled the printer driver disk that came with the printer and am able to use its program to check for ink levels, alignment, etc. Apparently the computer can "see" the printer to do that but not to print to. Unless there is some obvious solution here I will be taking it to the Genius Bar. Any other suggestions?

Certain Keys on Keyboard No Longer Work

Hello,
As of a few minutes ago, my standard wired Mac Keyboard appears to be malfunctioning. The Tab and Caps Lock keys no longer work, and certain combinations of keys, such as alt-apple-esc, to bring up the force quit menu is no longer working either. I tried unplugging the keyboard and reconnecting it, I restarted, and I'm still having the same problem - it came out of nowhere.
Are peripherals like the keyboard and mouse covered under my Applecare warranty?
Thanks,
Lonny

Your keyboard and mouse should be covered, but before you give up on the keyboard, get hold of some compressed air and clean it. You can also turn the keyboard over and give it a sharp smack to see if anything is lodged under those keys.
Let us know how you make out,
Miriam

IPod Apps no longer work, Music disappears, Fix?

QUESTION : How to fix permanently the “iPod Touch Breakdown“?
(seems identical to the iPhone “Breakdown“)
Since I upgraded to 2.0.2, running iTunes 7.7.1 (11) on a MacBook Pro G4, I keep having big trouble with Apps, Music and Films.
Here is what I call the “iPod Touch Breakdown“:
- Apps won’t start : the iPod would go back to the home screen after a few seconds.
- Music and Films disappear (My music consists essentially of personnal CDs).
- (for me Photos are still there)
- all original Apple Apps work OK
This is a known problem, also occuring on the iPhone with many posts on the iPhone discussions forum (see “iPhone“/“Installing and Using iPhone Applications“/“iPhone Applications no longer work“. At the time I write this messge, this question has been viewed 16,080 times ( ) (*) and there have been 319 replies: probably a sad record for a single question, which means that THERE REALLY IS A BASIC PROBLEM.
My iPod is a 8Gb purchased while staying in Pasadena, almost a year ago. I was extremely happy to use it more and more like a PDA (updates 2.0.1 and 2.0.2).
There have been some fixes proposed on the discussions forum (iPhone) that I tried and I have tried myself a couple more. NONE of them could fix the problem permanently: all fixes have been working for a day or two, no more. Untill you download an App (even an update) and you get the “Breakdown“ again.
As other users, I have noted a slowdown in anything I am doing (e.g. typing text) just before the Apps stop working and the music disappears. (see for instance Truth42 on iPhone Forum (Applications no longer work), Posted: Aug 25, 2008 10:57 AM)
Fixes: typically you get to disinstall and then reinstall all your Apps. Each time, you lose all your Apps parameters (bad for data bases and notes).
Two ways:
see iPhone forum: Aveonz Posted: Aug 24, 2008 3:16 AM :
1- sync using iTunes
2- in iTunes/Store: deauthorize your account
3- sync
4- authorize
5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
(the whole process may take several hours; I have also done a reboot between 3 and 4)
(ii) proposed by various people :
1- deselect all applications
2- sync
3- disconnect your iPod and reboot it (pressing both buttons simultaneously for several seconds – see Apple site) (you keep you parameters, WiFi, etc)
4- select the Apps you want back
5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
In the end you can use the Apps you have reloaded, but just for a few days (or hours)… until you cannot resist downloading a new App, or simply just download an App update. It won’t breakdown instantly after you do that, but it will very soon.
I certainly would take any procedure to fix this definitely. However, the best choice is probably to use as few third party Apps as possible (none is better) and wait for 2.1. Hopefully Apple is working on this, and we’ll get a definite fix very soon. This actually makes a very bad press for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
Sadly,
because I think iPod Touch and iPhone are beautiful machines –but for how long? Competition is tough…
Cheers
(*) about this number 16,080, obviously not all of the viewers experienced the “Breakdown“, but most were just curious to know. Still, the good question is to know how many of us, using the iPhone and iPod Touch experience this bug (virus?) and why some have it and not others (and in which proportion?).

Same issue here since updating to 2.0.2; Is there a way to back I wonder?
So I plugged back in my iPod touch and,...
0. make a note of all your music, movies, photos, apps selections to restore
1. cancel connect attempt to iTunes store (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
2. cancel attempts to sync or backup (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
3. clicked <OPTION>[Restore] once selecting my iPod touch device
4. navigate to <home>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Udpates/
5. pick the prior update: iPod1,12.0.1_5B108Restore
6. then waited through iPod window status displays
'Preparing iPod software for restore...'
'Restoring iPod software...'
'Verifying iPod Software...'
7. OK the 'Your iPod has been restored to factory settings,...'
8. Ssync process did NOT automatically being so I unplugged & plugged it
(I did verify that 2.0.1 was loaded seeing the App Store)
9. Pick 'Set up as a new iPod'; don't pick an earlier backup point
(mostly 'cause I couldn't be sure which was a good failsafe).
10. iTunes then begin setup of my [ahem] new iPod.
STOP IT; it'll try and do restore everything. Then navigate the tabs for
your iPod and re-select those things you want (music,photos,movies,apps,etc)
So like any computer you need to keep proper backups.
The apple s/w system updater appears to do just that automatically, thanks! Of course it would've been nice to have had the 2.0.2 version tested a bit more before its release.
IMHO the host (mac) should have kept my prefs for the iPod rather than my resorting to handwritten notes but at least I'm back to normal. Consider when replacing an iPod how you'd want the replacement to be a mirror of its predecessor.
Oh, skip future requests to update to 2.0.2 until Apple can get his sorted out.

TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

Marcello, I am having the same problem. When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini.
I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

Apps No Longer Working On Moto Devour

My Devour is only about 18months old and one by one, apps that have always worked fine have stopped working. Some never open and some just shut down after open for brief period of time. I saw where my banking app mentioned an OS greater then 2.0 but I checked twice and my Devour is up-to-date. This app has always worked. I'm just afraid that in a couple more years, nothing is going to be working right. I'm all for upgrading to new services but not at the expense of the old ones. Any suggestions for keeping these apps working for the next few years? I love the slide out keyboard and I generally dislike touch screens so trading isn't really an option, especially when the phone is so recent.

Good morning Draino,
The Motorola Devour was my first Android phone! I LOVE the super sleek design and the keyboard is awesome! It’s refreshing to see that we like the same features that the Devour has. As far as the apps are concerned, may I ask how many apps are no longer working? Also, what is the exact software, build, and baseband version that you have on the phone? I want to check to see if there are any known issues with the apps and the phone.
In your case, I would recommend uninstalling one app and reinstalling it to the device. After doing this, please retest the app for proper functionality. Also, I would suggest changing the setting so that the apps does not auto update. Although it’s not certain but the apps may stop working because of an auto update that made it no longer compatible with your software version. In either case, once you provide me with the information requested above then I will be able to further investigate for you.
Thank you…

Re: iPhone applications no longer work
Posted: Aug 26, 2008 4:10 PM in response to: pmonahan
I am having the same problem as many of you. 3G iPhone. 2.0.2.
In the past 3 weeks I have had at least 5 if not 8-10 examples of loss of all iPod content and access to all apps. I know this happens on 2.0.2 and I know it happened at least a couple of times on 2.0.1. I am fairly certain that it never happened on 2.0.0.
This seems to happen EVERY time that the iPod crashes and reboots itself or when I force a hard reset. I haven't tried with a normal turn off/shut down in fear of having to go through this whole process again.
I have a solution that while not optimal works EVERY TIME!
1. Do a "reset all settings" from general settings. This will wipe out the set up of an exchange mail client, but not Yahoo, Gmail, or POP. While a pain this only takes a few minutes to reset up. It will not touch any app settings, high scores, etc. Additionally, all of your apps will need to reordered on the screen if you are like me and like certain ones to be on certain pages. Again, a pain, but this takes 5-10 minutes max for 4 pages worth of apps. Additionally, you will need to change any other personalized settings that you have set up (ring tones, favorites, brightness, etc.) At this point all iPod content will be back, but apps still won't work.
2. Go to the app store and download any app that you want. This will have you reinputing your username and password. Once this is compthe app is fully downloaded and installed you will have access to all of your apps again and your phone will work perfectly UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. Note, during this step, I have done a hard reset multiple times and gone through a overly long Apple logo time frame (and sometimes even hard reset during the Apple logo again) but this has yet to have any ill effect. Once the phone comes back up all apps works and all iPod content is there.
Finally, I have now stopped downloading or updating apps directly from the phone if at all. As this often causes or requires a hard reset.
Generally I get one to two days before having to do this again.
Please know I am not suggest this is all OK and I am barely tolerating this as it should just get fixed, but this is pretty easy and while monotonous on the 5th+ time, it isn't that time consuming and has worked every time.

Downgrading to iTunes 7.7.0 following the steps in the link below has worked for me for about 12 days now.

It boggles my mind that with an issue like this so big that Apple STILL doesn't have a permanent fix for it yet.

AirPrint no longer works after 10.6.5 upgrade

I followed the instructions in the following discussion thread (i.e. ran the mentioned script) and Print was working perfectly from my iPhones and iPad. Then other day I updated the OS to 10.6.5 and printing no longer works. I assumed that the changes were overwritten by the OS update so I just ran the Script again, same as before, however Printing still does Not work. Please advise. Could it be that Apple realized this work around and plugged it just to **** their "valued" customers.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
Thanks in advance.

Then other day I updated the OS to 10.6.5
The other day?
Your post in the other thread on 29 November shows you had 10.6.5 installed.
Also I can't explain why but it most certainly did work with the previous OS X
AirPrint is not dependent on the OS
It is dependent on the printer firmware. The printer needs to be on the local network and does not need to be connected directly to a computer.
The fix in that other thread allows iPads to print to printers connected to a Mac.
The code that allows this was not present in Mac OS prior to 10.6.5
If it worked previously, it sounds like you have an AirPrint compatible printer.

Screen saver no longer working after Lion upgrade.

Hi,
After standard upgrade about 2 weeks ago (mid July 2012) the screen saver no longer works. I mean I can certainly access the application and the desktop can be made to cycle through different photos etc. But when I configure the screen saver it just refuses to go into screen saver mode at all.
I'm not seeing too much occurance of this through the postings which is a bit worrisome as I'd thought this would be a much wider issue.
Cheers,
Herbie

Please follow these instructions:

Find my friends app no longer works

The find my friend app was working. But now it no longer works. it doesn't work on my iPhone or my iPad. I've looked in settings to see what I can do, and I did read something where it says you can only use one device at a time. So I set it for iphone and it doesn't work. Any help?

i am having problen with find my friend app.
i Am currently running ios 8 on my iphone 5 while my friend is running ios 8 on iphone 6.
however, on my find my friend app, it displays location not found for this friend. I am certain she has accepted my invitation And has shared her location. Are there any known compatible issues and is there any fix for this?

Genius no longer works with some songs

I can no longer make Genius playlists from certain songs and albums after updating my Genius results, despite the fact that these same songs could be used to generate playlists just a few days ago.

Thank for responding. I'm running 10.5.6; haven't "updated" since I know there are problems. I can say for certain that those games worked fine under 10.4.x. Also other games work fine, and I have no access to another keyboard. I'm convinced from its behavior that something in the 10.5.x series is the problem. That's because the keyboard works fine with those games while setting the options, selecting missions (e.g.), but when the map downloads (or other starting function) and it's ready to go, the keyboard stops working (or, more precisely, the game no longer recognizes input from the keyboard). The mouse (connected to the keyboard), works.

My ear buds that I bought a few months ago shocked me and no longer work is there warranty on these?

I had my headphones in my 5s when I was running and all the sudden my ears got shocked. I know it was from ESD. Only problem is my headphones no longer work. I just recently bought them like 2 months ago. Shouldnt there be a ground in these headphones? Are my ear buds just bad or did I just get the short end of the stick again?

Most devices are covered by warranty in most Countries
If you headphones are Apple they certainly have a 12 month warranty and if not Apple check the paperwork that came in the box
