Does the recent Airport update help connectivity issues?

I always have issues with my D-link router, which I haven't been able to test since the update. Are people still having connectivity issues and dropped signals since updating?

Usually a update is released to fix and improve functionality. This time a lot of users reported the update caused bugs and even connection problems. If you're already in troubles you can install it and see if it fix your issue.
Consider that your router could be faulty. I replaced mine with a US Robotics after having used my old d-link for 2 years.
I hope that helps, bye

Does the recent LR update apply to standalone LR5?

I have had a pop up appear when I opened LR5 telling me there is an update; stuff like stitching is offered; when I click on update it takes me to LR CC and I cannot tell if it's trying to get me to buy LR6 CC or it's a genuine update to LR5 as well

The answer to your first subject header question is "no." Adobe misworded the pop-up. If they wanted a pop-up notification on standalone LR5, it should have said, "Upgrade to LR6 now available," with a link, because it's not a free update, it's a paid upgrade. Instead they worded it in a confusing fashion, yet another effort to try and get you to subscribe to Creative Cloud. If you want HDR or panorama merge, and don't want a CC subscription, you have to buy LR6 upgrade for $79.99.

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

For those with Issues with the Recent GB update... what you can do to help fix this...

I had my phone replaced by Verizon because the volume was ringing too low with disregard to the level it was set on... this happened immediately after the update and continued even with factory reset. Verizon sent me another one which is doing the same thing but with more issues which include the picture sending and now my mute button is missing when I receive calls. I am a business and cannot afford to miss a single call... especially as this is our slow time of year. To do your part to help push Samsung to send out a corrective update you need to contact them... I did this and a verizon rep told me to encourage this on these forums... here is the link http://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact# it will get you to their contact page and from there you select email under product support. The more of you that do this, the more they will realize there are several... some serious... issues with this update. Thank you and good luck... to all of us!!

I noticed with my Charge phone that when I get a call the FIRST ring is highly muted (quite soft) and then all rings after that are full volume.
I wish that even the first ring was load (full volume) but I accept the fact that that is how GB 2.3.6 works. Anyone know how to change this?
Ya can't win 'em all.

Recent Airport Update knocked out my wireless connection???

The recent Airport release which I understand was significant in patch some hacker holes... but doesn't do me any good if I can't reconnect with my network. Is anyone else having the trouble or does anyone have a suggestion? I have a Netgear 54Mbs wireless that worked with no problem before I installed the update. The network is still working fine on my Windows laptop. My macbook can connect using the ethernet just not wirelessly. Please help!!!

I had this problem, too, with a Linksys WR54G Router. After my Mac auto-updated a few days ago, it constantly dropped the connection, while my XP machine kept flying right along. I looked through all these forums, and tried the easier ideas, such as deleting and reloading the network preferences, repairing disk permissions, etc. None worked, and I was beginning to think I'd have to archive and reinstall the OS.
What seems to have worked, though, is updating the firmware on my Linksys router. When I connected to the router, I found it had firmware that was over a year old. A more recent version -- only a couple of months old -- was available, so I downloaded and installed that. Presto, the Mac seems much better.
So, I would check this on your Netgear router. Perhaps Apple designed this update to work only with the latest firmware from each manufacturer. Linksys made no specific reference to their firmware upgrade improving any issues with Airport in the info file that came with the upgrade, but it seems to have done the trick, regardless.
Each router/base station manufacturer will have their own interface and method for doing the firmware upgrade, so check their website for instructions. It's actually pretty easy, compared to -- say -- the kernel extension fix. Probably worth a look before attempting more extreme measures.

My PC no longer recognizes my I Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I Tunes has not helped.

My Win 7 PC will not recognize my I-Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I-Tunes has not helped. What else can I try?

irst off, you can connect the device to another computer to import the photos. Second the error that you are seeing is a Windows error and you would have to look that one up on Microsoft.com. You should be able to remove the device from Device Manager, unplug the phone, wait a moment and then plug it back in. It should recognize it then and load the driver.
The message board is no longer allowing me to reply from that site. In answer to above, I don’t have another computer. Yes, what I sent is a windows error message but this is NOT a windows error. From what I can see online from others, this is a problem many are having as a result of something in the new OS we downloaded to keep our I-phones current. Everything worked fine before downloading the new OS and nothing changed in our systems except the new OS. Apple needs to diagnose the problem and develop a fix!

Sudden increase of AEBS issues? Is it linked to the latest Airport updates?

Is my impression correct that AEBS issues of a certain type (a) have suddendly increased and (b) seem to correlate with the latest Firmware Updates for AEBS?
I posted already a problem (no LAN functionality, I have no access to printers etc). I was wondering what you think about.
Further, does somebody know how I can revert the FW Update 5.7 and go back to 5.6?

"Sudden increase of AEBS issues? Is it linked to the latest Airport updates?"
We are not allowed to ask that question. Remember, it must, must, must be our fault - we have to be careful about that. Well, I guess that if someone who leans to the right politically, can still question the actions of the current president - then I guess it is OK for Mac lovers to question Apple - so I take back what I said at the top.

The recent software update on my HTC One has caused errors with Exchange ActiveSync issues. Calendar, mail and tasks sync fine but contacts won't sync. How do you correct this?

I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me. Open the mail app and delete your exchange account (Settings > Delete Account). Then re-add your Exchange account. After this my Exchange contacts showed up again.

Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
I've outlined the restore proceedure here, it covers a lot of bases and explains what is going to occur so please don't be intimidated it's a LOT easier that it appears.
Take your time and comprehend the steps involved and you'll be backup up like before in short order.
Restore method.
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
If you get a gray screen or some other hangup upon booting, try holding the Shift key down while booting to enter Safe Mode.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or hold option bootable clone
If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from before the Security Update occured.
Obviously if you didn't make a recent backup before the update, your going to have to skip to Step #3.
Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
If you don't know how to restore from TM drive
http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
#3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
If no recent TM or bootable clone then:
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk and Permissions of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
Note: If Disk Uitlity can't repair the drive, then come back to seek further assistance and make sure you have a copy of your data off the machine.
#4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Note: For most users likley Step #3 and #4 is likley all that is needed to be done.
That's it really.

Unverified hacks
Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local Mac/PC professional assistance before you lose your data.
In fact my steps above are very simple, you might want to have a family member or friend perfrom the proceedure in about a hour or two.
If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
Good Luck

I am getting a service start and stop alert while doing the windows server updates.

HI
I am getting a service start and stop alert while doing the windows server updates. Services are wmiApSrv , WPDBusEnum. Can you please help me to under stand why i am getting the service start and stop alert.
Thanks & Regards
Abhilash K Joy

Hi,
The WMI Performance Adapter (wmiApSrv) service provides performance library information from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers to clients on the network. This service only runs when Performance Data Helper is activated.
This service is installed by default and its startup type is Manual. When started in the default configuration it will log on using the Local System account.
You can try troubleshooting the issue using Clean Boot to check if the issue is related to third-party software.

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

After doing a recent software update, my macbook can't bring up Safari. I get a problem report for Safari with a lot of tech words/numbers

After doing a recent software update, our macbook stopped opening up Safari. We keep getting a problem report for Safari. How do we fix this?

Please copy and paste the entire report in your Reply. That should reveal what the problem is.
No need to send anymore reports to Apple. One is sufficient. It's only for the developers perusal.
