Console: Latest entry is 6+ weeks ago
I have been troubleshooting slow startup on my MBP (Feb08). ONe of the suggested steps was to check the Console log. When I did, I discovered that the latest Console entry was March 12.
Obviously, this doesn't help with problems I might be having today.
Any thoughts on what to do here?
(The final entry, at shutdown on March 12 was:
3/12/09 10:04:55 PM mDNSResponder[23] mDNS_FinalExit failed to deregister service: W88385SFYJX.ttp4daemon.tcp.484311266634876.
Helo,
*"3/12/09 10:04:55 PM mDNSResponder23 mDNS_FinalExit failed to deregister service:"*
Change your DNS numbers.
Try these DNS numbers.
Try putting these numbers in Network/Advanced/DNS.
Add these numbers to DNS Servers
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK. These are safer/faster than most ISP's NDS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.
If that doesn't help...
Try booting from your install disk to check hard drive.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
Check available disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

iPhone 5c has lost its color. Everything on screen is gray. I have already checked "grayscale". Button is not "on". I downloaded latest software about a week ago but today is when color changed. Any help?
Hi ..
Try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
I was trying to sync my latest photos from iphone onto iphoto but pressed "restore" instead of "sync". Now it's erased my latest photos taken on my iphone a week ago and erased music saved in itunes library. Is there a way to find these photos and music via backup?
Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this? -
Ever since I upgraded firefox about 2 weeks ago I no longer have Adobe Flash so a lot of my e-mails won't even open up. I can't get anything from YouTube. When I try to install Adobe Flash Player I get a message that says since I have Mozilla I can't get it. Is there a work around?
ThanksYou have Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 installed for Firefox, in addition to Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153. You need to get rid of that old version which is overriding Firefox from using the later version.
See if you can remove that old version from the Control Panel > Add /Remove Programs. If it isn't listed there, remove the NPSWF32.dll file for that version from the \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\ folder - (right-click that file and open Properties and then view the Version tab to verify it is that old version of Flash, if you have more than one of those files in that folder.) -
I had a nifty note taking program with a launch line in the Tools Tab of the browser ... I offered six separate pages to take notes ... I cannot remember the name of the program and when I updated the Mozilla Firefox Browser to the latest version about a week ago the line to launch that Note program in the Tools Tab was gone ... I cannot find my notes on those six pages and they were voluminous ... any ideas where the program went?
You are using Firefox 23.0, which is an unstable version of Firefox not yet ready for release (the latest stable version of Firefox is Firefox 22.0)
Quite possibly, the application you were using is not compatible with such a high version of Firefox.
You might want to take a look here (http://mzl.la/MOvsag) to see if downgrading Firefox can be a solution for you. If you were last using Firefox 22.0, you can go over to the Mozilla website (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and get Firefox from there.
Also, please check out Session restore for more information (http://mzl.la/MCnd4M) -
I have an iPhone 4S, with the latest OS, 5.01 I believe it is. Most everything is great except everytime I have updates to download and install through the app store, I get a message saying "cannot install livingsocial and 6 other apps." The issue is that I only had livingsocial for a couple weeks then deleted it. That was a few weeks ago. Also I have no idea what the other 6 are. All my updates install fine, I just keep getting this message. And livingsocial and whatever the other 6 apps are never show up in the updates section, I just keep getting the stupid message. I click ok and it goes away. How do I get it to stop trying to install these apps? I've seen a ton of information about something similar happening on sync, but my issue is occurring during AppStore updates for which I can find no information!
That seems like a really odd coincidence that both ours say "and 6 other apps." As far as the app waiting thing, I've never tried tapping it twice, but I would hold down til all the apps started shaking to move or delete, but this one is the only one with no x for delete, so when I tap it nothing happens. I have tapped it repeatedly but never exactly twice. But after a short while, no matter what I do, it will just disappear on its own. In fact, I saw your "tap twice" message very soon after you posted it and was going to try it, but it had already disappeared by then.

Until a few weeks ago, any photo I saved on my iPad automatically showed up on my computer. The same with changes to contact information, calendar entries, etc. If I made the changes/additions on one device it automatically showed up on the other. Now, that doesn't happen. What do I need to check/fix to get that working again?
im in the same situation except, i cant even load my old backup onto my phone, itunes gives me an error message, no number, and acts like there was no problem, syncs all my music and i have to use my phone as a new one, i have no contacts or anything now, and i cant even go back to 4.3.5 now, that wont even let me, itunes keeps making errors.....

After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.Look the SOLUTION CHOSEN:

I bought a brand new iPhone 4 as soon as it came out which was 2010 I think. No problems until two weeks ago. I fractured the screen on it so I am slowly losiong some functions like charge, touch screen ability and need to activate my new iPhone but I am having trouble with iTunes showing my full song library. I have 554 plus songs but some that will not update or download,. Two weeks ago is when this all began. I used to have a different apple ID but changed it after a few months for security reasons. Now when I try to observe my itunes library it only shows the most recent songs I have purchased,35. Not all, and there are still songs that it states it can not download because my computer is not authorized, I authorize it and it says it is already authorized. Then it gives me the old apple ID from years ago and I change it back to my new one, but this only causes it to do it over and over. I called apple and they said all kinds of mean things that my son or husband had been using my ID or account, of which is impossible because all purchases have to be password protected and I get warnings if anyone attempts to access. Also, their ID's are not my old one. Their libraries have none of my music. I do not home share but I thought that iTunes says you can use the music for households if you homeshare so I do not know why the person was so abusive but I am frustrated. So, any ideas? I was instructed to install icloud and did and it seems to me to be the culprit so I bought the stupid iCloud sharing manage,$25 yearly so that it automatically downloads your full library but no luck, still only shows the purchases I recently made with my gift card. This was suggested by the apple care expert. Can not update my phone until backed up, can not change phones until updated and backed up.
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer -
A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it. I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod. However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program. This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email. From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes. I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC. I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it. Any suggestions on how this can be removed?
Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?
Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered. -
I recently upgraded to iWork v9.0.3, but when I access each applications the versions are different (i.e. Pages V.4.1, Numbers V2.6, Keynote V5.1.1) with a install date of 3/18/09 -- which is not the current install date of 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't Pages, Numbers, and Keynote show version 9.?? My MAC confirned installation of v9.0.3 and even accepted the software code. With this discrepancy, how can I determine if the latest was installed and operational? I even downloading v9.0.4, 9.0.5, and 9.1. When I tried installing these downloads it popped up note stating that a later version of Keynote was already installed.
You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Firefox 8, since update about a week ago, will no longer show some pages
My google calendar page is totally blank. When I got to the site: http://calendar.google.com it looks like stuff is loading (info bar showing url's) and then very quickly I see a blank white page of nothingness. I use this calendar for my business and if I can't see upcoming jobs or schedule clients, then firefox becomes useless to me at work.
On facebook, since that same update last week, several games do not load properly. Lucky Train just hangs at the main screen. And Lucky Space, while it loads and plays fine, will not load the Messages page. and constantly shows '0' (zero) for the number of messages (should show nothing if no messages and shows correct number using IE (ICK) or Chrome)
I have had to start using Chrome for these pages...and I want to only use Firefox.
I have flushed the cache, deleted cookies, etc... I have done all the standard basic things before writing here. The version 2 weeks ago worked just fine...is there a way I can go BACK to that version? Is it on the website somewhere?
I design all my websites specifically to work 100% with Firefox, and if problems like this occur, I would be forced to use another browser as my target...and I really do NOT want to do that.. I have been the reason well over 1000 people now use Firefox and NOT other browsers...I am one of your biggest fans....and supporters..but this (seemingly) simple thing (yeah, I was a programmer for years...simple = damned near impossible and 1000's of lines of code...lol) is really hurting me for work...
Thanks!!!!

As far as extensions, most of my extensions don't work with this current version of firefox... the ones that still do always played nice with google calendar and all my facebook games..
Seems there is just something between the new version of firefox and google calendar... I talked to 3 other friends that also have this problem. I tried on my moms computer as well as her laptop, and also can't get to my calendar. Yet, can with Chrome and IE. And I know that before this latest auto-update of firefox they all worked flawlessly with those pages..
I am trying to find an older version that I can use....I must learn NOT to update when everything works flawlessly as I need it...

The ten items in the drop down History header continues to show ten sites that I several weeks ago. Any new sites that I have used recently or am currently using do not appear in this list. I have configured the history settings to clear automatically, but those ten old sites persist throughout all current use. How do I get rid of them?
Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br /> -
I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?
