Every few days, my iPad stops working properly with Messages and Safari.

I am using a 32 GB iPad mini 2 on iOS 8.1.2. Several times recently, without any warning, I have lost the use of Messages and Safari has been having troubles with certificates. I try to send an iMessage and I get the "Message Send Failure" error after a few seconds. I have tried, in the past, doing things like signing out of iMessage and iCloud. When trying to relogin, all I get is a "An error occurred during activation" or "Could not sign in" message. Here is a screenshot of the error message:
In Safari, the problem seems to lie with Trusted Websites. On many occasions after the problem (as a whole) occurs, I get an alert questioning the authenticity of a page I am visiting. This tends to happens with major websites that Safari has never had problems with before.
I have tried many solutions to fix this problem. So far, it has happened three times (the most recent going on while I'm typing this), and the two times where it seemed to be resolved, the resolutions were completely different. The first time it happened, I signed out of iCloud, did a hard reset, and finally (and this is what temporarily fixed the issue), I chose "Forget This Network" for the Wi-Fi network I was using in network settings. after signing back in, everything worked how it should.
The problem showed up again a week or so later and, after all of the things listed above failing, I restored from my iCloud backup. I had experienced no more problems since until now. I have again lost the ability to use iMessage and Safari has strange problems regarding web certificates.
Thanks!

This morning, I experienced yet another temporary fix. It was just working. Even though I was signed out of iMessages I started receiving them again. I wonder when it'll happen again...

I have an iPhone 4 still running 6.1.3 software. A few days ago it stopped working through my car's USB connection. How can this be fixed?

I have an iPhone 4 still running 6.1.3 software. A few days ago it stopped working through my car's USB connection (I have a 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid). I can no longer control my music through my car's stereo system. I am unable to choose what song, album, playlist, etc. to be played and cannot skip songs. When I try to skip, it reverts back to the first song. When I choose what to be played directly on my phone, it can only be played for about 30 seconds through my car's stereo system before it stops and displays the message "Unsupported Version." How can this be fixed? (Also, I know it is my iPhone and not my car because someone I know has the same exact car as me from 2009 and it did the same thing on theirs.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This problem is extremely frustrating and the alternative of trying to change music directly on my phone while driving is a risk I am not willing to consider. Thanks!

Alright, sorry for not having browsed this page a bit more before stating my question. I have just found some other similar topics on this problem. Please don't reply this thread unless there actually is a solution to the problem, because at current time there is not.

Few days ago my Firefox work properly & perfect. After the last update I miss my history and convinient addons. Please HELP : (

Hi,
Few days ago Mozila stop work (I don't remember before or after last update) and ask me something. I answered responsibly, but the result is a hilarious and tragic, as follow:
1/ No bookmarks: They are very important for me because I prepare them from years. I often mark the important sites with "CTRL+D" and by inserting few key words.
2/ No history
3/ Under the tabs, on left side, there was 2 arrows in circle: TO Left and TO Right. With them was very comfortably to navigate. Now there is only 1 arrow: TO LEFT
4/ Under the tabs, on right side is field "Search using Firefox Add-ons". Few days ago was very useful to write some word and Mozilla automatically search for sites that meet the written words by GOOGLE. Now this feature is gone.
Are they any opportunity to restore my previous settings ?
Thank you for cooperation !
Best regards,
Rumen Ivanov

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

All of a sudden some of my sites have stopped working properly on Firefox and I have had to (reluctantly) go back to Internet Explorer to get them to work properly. Why??? Please help because I always prefer Firefox in all internet stuff

The problem sites have always worked properly on Mozilla Firefox until 2 of them stopped giving full access. I reverted to (yuk) Internet Explorer to see if the problem was still there, but, surprisingly I had full access with both programes. I repeated the attempts a couple of times in Firefox but now have to use IE when I require proper access.
Is the problem in a setting somewhere??
Please help because I HATE IE

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

Old Netscape console 4.2 not working properly with new Directory Server 5.2

After successfully installing Messaging Server 5.2 and applying patch 2, the old Netscape Console doesn't work properly, I tried running the script which is given in the link
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6734-10/index.html
which hobbles the server by creating a set of dummy jar files in order for the directory server console not making any changes on the messaging server. At first I got these messages:
Failed to install a local copy of msgadmin52.jar or one of its supporting files: not a ZIP file (END header not found)
I got the same message for these 2 files:
admserv42.jar
msgadmin52.jar
After that I made real dummy jar files using a zero-length file I created with touch and I got these messages:
class com.netscape.management.admser.AdminServer not found
After that I erased all the files created by the script and I get these messages:
failed to install a copy of admserv51.jar or one of its supporting files: null
failed to install a copy of msgadmin.jar or one of its supporting files: msgadmin52.jar not found at http://192.168.10.205:5001/
and for admserv42.jar I get the same message
Does anyone have a clue on what to do next??
thanks in advance
Eduardo

The thing is that the netscape console 4.5 won't work properly with messaging server 5.2, and the directory server console is not working properly for the directory server. I already know the limitations about these consoles since it is explained in the doc where the procedure of migrating from a 4.x directory server to 5.1. I

My Timecapsule Stops Working every few days!

I have a 2TB Timecapsule that has worked flawlessly for about 18 months. Over the last month it has stopped working every few days. When I say it stops working the wirless networks go off and the wired router stops. The lights are green on the back where the cables connect and on front I have a green status light. But the devices stops functioning. I pull the power and wait a little while and plug it back in and everything works again for a few days (could be a week) could be 2-3 days.
It is running the latest firmware and I haven't changed its configuration in many months.
No idea what to do... Any sugestions?
Joe

The lockup is across all devices??
Are any still working when the computer say is unable to connect?
It could be the latest firmware that is the problem.. that changed about 1-2months ago.
You can try doing a factory reset and a new clean setup but more than likely the issue will continue.
To go back to earlier firmware hold down the option key when you choose firmware. It will then show older as well as new versions.. Select 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2
Factory reset after the firmware and do the setup again.

SMB Service Stopping every few days

The SMB Service on my 10.5.6 XServe has developed a habit of stopping at random every few days.
I've found the error in older, archived posts, with no solution.
The only hallmark seems to be that the system.log spits out a line saying "servermgrd: readFile File /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist is not a valid plist" before the smb process terminates.
The other thing is that instead of starting the process again, I have to promote it to PDC and enable Guest Access, as if the plist is deleted (unsurprising if it is corrupt).
Help! Anyone!

We installed our Leopard server on Sunday and today (Tuesday) the SMB service wouldn't allow any new users on.
We had to stop and start it again.
I am wondering if sing this 10.4 fix would work?

My new (2 months old) 5s fingerprint recognition sensor does not work. It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone.

My new (2 months old) 5s fingerprint recognition sensor does not work. It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone. I have tried all the tips and they help a little but it always stops working and I have to redo my fingerprints. Does Apple read these comments? Is there an app that might help?

Apple does not read here.
If you want Apple to know send feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I also have iPhone 5s on day one and it's working since. When it's not registering, I just clean the Home button and it works straight away.
Did you try when registering fingerprint using all angles? It should learn the more you use it.
Did you clean the sensor with a soft cloth?

HT203768 iPad air ios8 deletes mail in inbox every few days.

IiPad air ios8.1.2 deletes inbox email every few days.

Some where along the lne the Mail app changed from hom many emails you could keep to the lenght of sync, it's been this way at least since IOS 6. It's normal, to free up room on your iPad. Remember just because a email auto-deletes it's not gone, it's just not on your iPad. You can go to your email account onlne to see how many email you have. You can also use the search field if you also know the name. if you live near an Apple Store it might be a good time to stop in and find out why you don't have the option to change the sync amount.

Family share isn't working - we set it up and it was working fine for a few weeks then in the last few days it's stopped, we can't see the other members in our family share and it says we aren't set up but it doesn't allow us to confirm and reset up

Help! We set up family share a few weeks ago, and it was working fine with the organizer and two additional members. The three of us could see each other on app and iTunes stores and could view each other's purchased items. Then ... All of that disappeared. We cant see each other's profiles any more and we definitely can't view any purchased items. In addition, when we try to go in and jump start by downloading a free app or logging out and back of itunes, nothing works. It seems to show we have family sharing in the iCloud settings, and when we click the Apple ID it asks us to confirm, and we confirm, and are asked if we want to change accounts because then we trigger the 90 day freeze period. And we aren't changing any accounts - just trying to confirm the same accounts to get family share to work! We are all on the same ios 8.1.3 and os, so I don't know what else to try!

No, I am a media professional who uses his MacBook Pro to connect to external monitors, and needs to continue to do so. I don't want Apple TV. I want my laptop to work again, like it's supposed to. Like it used to.
I have a demonstration this week at work that requires me to plug into an LCD screen and I am hoping to have this resolved by then. I am trying to convince my department to buy a Retina Mac and thousands of dollars worth of video software for live shows, and if I can't make it work, then I can't exactly convince them (or myself) to buy what I have been researching.
Again, I don't want wireless video or Apple TV. I don't want to buy any more stuff. I want to know why my Thunderbolt to HDMI cable stopped working after my update, and how to fix it...preferably before this meeting.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Every few days, my iPad stops working properly with Messages and Safari.
