dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

Just bought Quicktime Pro, can't load into V10, but won't allow me to install V7 with V10 Present.

OK I video'd my bands latest gig on the weekends using I-Movie, but when played back on I-movie, the video / Audio are over 10 seconds out of sync. Common Problem apparently, however on Quicktime it runs smoothly, so I was told I need to edit it in Quicktime Pro. Easier said that done. Quicktime Pro is only available for V7, I have V10 installed, and it will not allow me to install V7 when V10 is installed. Already paid for the rego, so not Freaking impressed with Apple having such a F..d up system in place where they do not keep the Pro version up to date with the free version. What do I do?

There is a version of 7 that works with 10. Does this link help?

WRE54G V2 connects with network, appears to work, but won't allow devices to pass data through

This is the number one problem I've had with the WRE since I got it several months ago.....
I originally set it up exactly in line with the instructions.....I turned off my WEP to prevent security issues at the start....
My WRE starts up, red lights, then blue lights, then solid blue lights....All appears perfect....
That is, until I attempt to use my PDA (HP 27XX) running Windows Mobile 5.....It just won't connect via the WRE......I have to unplug the WRE, then the PDA will connect, no problem, although with a weak signal......
My laptop running a DLink wireless card will connect via the WRE, so I know it works!.....
I have 3 PDA's....all HP, a 24XX, and 2 27XX models....all 3 won't connect through the WRE.....
My Zune also won't connect via the WRE.....not sure why?....
Any ideas?.....

O.k.....I set it up as instructed.....No Go.....not even the Laptop would connect through it this time around.....
The WRE appears in the "site survey", but nothing will connect to it or through it.....it acts like a VERY EFFECTIVE jammer!.....
I'm surprised the "underground" hasn't discovered just how easy it is to use this as a network jammer.....
Since I've owned mine, I'm guessing it's only worked 10 to 15% of the entire time....and NEVER with a PDA or ZUNE.......
Please don't give up on me though, I really do appreciate and need tips and advice getting this thing to work......

Already installed free solitaire now the app is missing but won't allow me to install again?

Have you tried using the spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.

I have a Macbook 13-inch, Late 2009 I'm running 10.8 Mountain Lion. iWork '09 will not work, how can I fix that without purchasing new programs from the App Store?

Help! 911! S.O.S.

Update iWork to Mountain Lion compatible versions.
Software Update is now operated therough the Mac App Store. I'm guessing that you have a version not purchased through the Mac App Store, but on DVD?
If so, take a look at this thread. It's important to have the apps in the original folder. More details in the thread.

How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

Playlist just scrolls through tunes at top of screen but won't allow me to play them

my playist just scrolls through each title in the list but won't allow me to stop it nor will it play anything from playlists. installed iOS6 and it worked fine until today (about a week). Also turned on iTunes match and it continued to work for about 3 weeks. Still works on my other iphone4, but not on my 4s. Power down and up didn't work to fix the 4s - phone still sees titles, but only scrolls through them on its own and won't play any tunes

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!

I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

My settings icon says I need an update but it won't allow me to install it.

Have you tried restarting the iPad or resetting it and then try to update?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This should not matter - but at this point you might as well try this as well. Close all apps, restart the iPad and then try to update again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. Restart the iPad.

USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"

USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
windows 8
USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
Here are my symptom
- USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
- I can see them in "My Computer"
- I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
- They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
- When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
- In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
Thank you
