Charging port doesn't seem to work?

Please help me.
Randomly during the day yesterday, my computer would not charge even though it was plugged into the outlet and everything. It wouldnt come up as charging. I figured that the outlet itself was the problem because the computer worked fine charging the night before. It died this morning and still will not charge in any outlet even with chargers I know are working in other macbooks. I cleaned out the charging port with some rubbing alcohol and a Qtip and it seemed to be very dirty.. although when I finished cleaning it out the computer still would not respond to a charger plugged in. Now the computer has been dropped before.. Many many months ago.. which is why I don't think that has anything to do with it. It was working fine up until today. I think the problem is with the actual charging port. Can this be replaced? And if so, at the Apple store? It's really unfortunate that this happened on Memorial day, I cant get a hold of anyone even on the call system. I need help with this immediately.... I have to make a presentation using my MacBook this week. Please help.Thanks

Apple stores are open today!

My 2nd Firewire port doesn't seem to work. Is it defective?

Brand new iMac Core Duo 2Ghz. I just bought a LaCie external 250gb Porsche hard drive. At first I thought it might be defective. After many tech support emails and trial and error I've now determined that it works 100% of the time on the firewire port that is closest to the power cord (I call this firewire port #1). And it 100% of the time does NOT work on the second firewire port. LaCie suggests that this port is dead.
I don't have any other firewire devices to try on this port.
My "More info" button on my "About this Mac" menu item just says "Firewire". It doesn't distinguish between one port and the other.
Say.. this is probably stupid user error huh. As in.. everyone but me knows to use the first port first, and the second port only if you have a second device.. otherwise it plays dead. hehee..
any advice?

I'm getting the same thing. The drive wouldn't even mount (though mounts perfectly on my G4 powerbook). Resetting the SMC, got it to mount fine, but then when I try to open the dive to access it's contents, finder goes beachball. I've waited 15min thus far.
It has mounted once or twice in probably 30 attemtps, but only ever by itself an not in the chain of my three firewire drives. That said, my other drives seem to mount just fine (a 1250 GB Porche drive and a 120 GB no-name enclosure). the one that doesn't work is an OWC Neptune 250GB. I'm open to any suggestions....

BTHUB 5 opening ports doesn't seem to work.

I've was recently got a upgrad to my phone line and got the Unlimited Faster Broadband package.
The extra speed is great, but I'm unable to access thing like my online banking and various other sites. I do a little gaming and purchased a new game (Wildstar). It requires various ports open which from what I can see the new BT HUB 5 won't allow. I've spent the last 2 days reading all the problems and troubleshooting and have still been unable to open the ports.
Most of what I read goes over my head, so in the end I decided to give up and pay this 10 a month IT help with BT. Explained the problem and he got remote access to open the ports. Tried the game and it didn't work. He opened all the ports and dropped firewall. Still the game didn't work. He explained that nothing is wrong with the hub and it will be the game that is the problem.
I've just checked with one of the site to see if the ports are open and it says they are still closed....
I went to PC world yesterday to get a replacement for the BTHUB 5 and the sales rep recommended NETGEAT N600. It has a fiber contection, but don't think it will work.
At this point I refuse to give up... Should I keep trying with the BTHUB 5 or try to find a alternitive router.
Any adivise would be greatly appeciated as I'm currently running in circles.
Cheers
trying to open ports to access to
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When the BT guy was saying that he'd remotely opened the ports were you checking this by seeing if a site that checks whether ports are open on an IP address was saying that they're open? Just because the router says they're open doesn't mean they're open. Just because some BT guy says they're open doesn't mean they're open! Only evidence says whether they're actually open or not!!
OF COURSE he'd blame the game! His bonus depends on "solving your issue" (measured as "getting you off the phone") as quickly as possible. They measure what's easiest to measure = length of the phone call(s).

Port forwarding to Apex doesn't seem to work

Hi,
We have an Oracle 11.1.0.7 database running on Linux in which I've upgraded Apex to 3.2
I'm using the embedded gateway/listener (no Apache).
Now I want to make this Apex instance available over the Internet so that a developer can work remotely. However this doesn't seem to work.
Check the listener log file I see the following lines:

Can someone explain this log file to me?
Meanwhile, I'm off to try Apache.

Hi Rob,
No, this is from internal LAN connections. I haven't been able to detect anything in the log files when attempting to connect from the internet.
I'll increase the logging level & post some findings on this later (I'm at a client site right now).

Port mapping doesn't seem to work - AEBS

I have a dsl connection to an Alcatel SpeedTouch 530 modem, linked via ethernet cable to the WAN of my AEBS, which shares the connection to three Macs and 2 Win boxes. I want to connect to aMule and get a High-ID. In the wiki.amule.org FAQ it states that to achieve this, I must use port mapping behind a firewall, and map ports 4662 (TCP) and 4665 (UDP) to my machine (which, after reading http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607426&#607426, I have assigned to AirPort TCP/IP address 10.0.1.201, by the way).
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, and I'm still getting the annoying 'low-ID' warnings on aMule.
Following some advice on the aMule forum, I mapped port 80 and verified that the WebServer is accessible inside the wLan, if that's of any help.
Thanks, people.

Hi Tim, a couple of questions:
1. If I go ahead and un-check the 'Distribute IP
addresses' box, how will the three Macs and two Win
computers on this wlan be affected? Do we still have
access to each other's shares, and do we still access
the internet through the AEBS?
Once you turn off the 'distribute the IP address box' then your alcatel router will then distribute ip adresses and your macs and wintel boxes will still be on the same network and using the sharepoints will remain the same if you setup the shares using the bonjour names.
I am making an assumption here in that your alcatel box is setup as a NAT router and not as a Bridge.
2. Do I just give a static internal IP to my own
powerbook, or to all the above computers?
You only need to give a static ip to the mac your doing the port forwarding to. So that is the mac that is running the p2p software, infact you would do the same for any computer on the LAN that would run a server, such as a webserver, email server etc.
Many thanks, as always.
You are welcome.
PS I had the impression that the basic idea of what I
need to do to successfully map the ports to my Mac
was to map ports from the DSL modem to the AEBS, then
from AEBS to my Mac. Is this not right? Or is this
another kind of solution to the same problem, albeit
slightly more complicated to your suggestion above?
If the alcatel modem was just behaving as a modem then you would use the AEBS as the NAT device and do the port mapping on that. However the Alcatel modem is also a router.
If you setup up your alcatel router as a bridge you would then use the AEBS as your PPPoE client and then port mapping would work.

My iPhone 5 randomly shutdown and rebooting doesn't seem to work for me, what should I do?

It also happens when I'm charging my phone, and also the battery percentage doesn't show that correct battery level not unless I turn off and on.. I tried rebooting the phone but it doesn't seem to work for me, random shutdown still happens..

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Wacom Tablet doesn't seem to work all of the time?

I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, not more than a year old. I recently installed it onto my Macbook Pro and it worked fine, but when I unplugged it and came back to work with it later, it doesn't seem to work. The mouse doesn't respond to where I click on the pad.
So, I've reinstalled this a couple of times and was able to make it work perfectly, but today when I went back to work in photoshop, it doesn't seem to be responding again.
Does anyone have any tips? I know that Leopard likes you to eject USB devices instead of just pulling them out of the slot, but I don't see anywhere to eject it.
Does anyone know what's up?

Downloaded a driver from website, tablet works now.

Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
Thanks

You can reset the SMC and see if that helps. If it's a unibody or Retina, follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

Pdfmark code in MS Word 2008 doc doesn't seem to work properly to create Named Destination

Hi all,
I've been having trouble with creating Preview-compatible Named Destinations in Acrobat 9.x (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770470?tstart=0). Distiller, on the other hand, appears to create compatible Destinations, so as a last-ditch effort, I tried to go back to my original source file (Microsoft Word 2008 document) to use Distiller's pdfmark functionality, to see if maybe I could finally get a PDF with Preview-compatible Destinations.
Following instructions found elsewhere on this forum, I went into Word and inserted the following field into a test location in my document:
PRINT "[ /Dest /testdest /View [ /XYZ null null null ] /DEST pdfmark"
This field code is supposed to then cause a pdfmark to be inserted into the resulting PostScript and/or PDF files. Distiller is supposed to understand this and turn it into a Named Destination called "testdest." However, it doesn't seem to work - I don't see the pdfmark code in the PS file, and the PDF file doesn't have any Named Destinations in it.
I'm using Acrobat 9.x on Mac OS X 10.6.5, so I tried this two different ways:
1) Using the "Print to Adobe PDF" workflow (which replaced the "Adobe PDF Printer" from previous OS/Acrobat versions) - this automatically generates a PDF via (presumably) an API call to Distiller... and
2) Using the "Print to Postscript" workflow to generate a PS file, which I then ran through Adobe Distiller.
In neither case did I end up with a named destination in the PDF file, as I was supposed to. In case #2, even the Postscript file didn't have a pdfmark embedded in it. Thus, I'm assuming that perhaps this is particular issue may be a problem with MS Word 2008 rather than with Acrobat... but I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to how to fix it.
I welcome ideas on how to get Word 2008 to properly output pdfmark code, so that Distiller will pick it up and properly embed a Named Destination into the PDF...
Thanks in advance.
(If anyone has ideas about the Preview-compatible problem, linked above, that would also be great!)

You're suggesting that it was never fixed from Word 2004 to 2008? Possibly. I wonder if it's fixed in Word 2011? Anyone know? But is it really a Word problem, rather than a Distiller issue?
I appreciate your offer, though I do have access to Word on Windows (2003, I think), so I could try Distilling there... I only worry about formatting, since there are minor differences (e.g. font kerning, etc.) between Mac and Windows that are subtle, but sufficient to create formatting issues for very long documents (e.g. pushing figures onto the wrong pages, etc.). That would be a rather big problem.
The question remains whether this is an issue with Word or Distiller, though... and whether it's fixed in Distiller X and/or Word 2011.
Adobe, care to comment?
I'd really love to find a proper Mac solution, if one exists... it would be rather a slap to Mac users if a solution doesn't exist.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?
