Fix for iMessage login error on mac using appleID

hi just fixed my imessage for mac
i know alot of people have this problem and thought this would help. if your having trouble siging in with your apple id or it looks like its taking ages and fails then go:
go to network preferences
advanced
dns
on the left with the servers add
8.8.8.8
it worked for me
i closed it then restarted then tried sending a messsage to my iphone using my number and it worked
try it

HI,
DNS server are the servers dotted about the internet that convert your Browser sending requests for Apple.com to an IP number.
DNS stands for Domain Name System
Your ISP normally has at least two DNS servers and these tend to show in the router or modem automatically.
In some cases they will show up as greyed out number in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab as well (depending on how the routing device gets them and other factors)
You can manually add these if required so that they are in Dark text.
What happens is that some DNS servers are better at resolving names than others.
To certain extent it depends where your local (ISP) DNS servers are in relation to the place they are looking for.
iChat uses DNS to make Video Chats and Audio Only chats more than it does for text chats.
It is also involved in finding the Apple Server that handles the fact that the Apple ID is going to be linked to iMessages activity. (it seems that some DNS Servers can't find this particular Apple Server)

Fix for iMessage banner notifications in iOS 8.1 freezing the keyboard or touch responsiveness?

Is there a fix for iMessage banner notifications in iOS 8.1 freezing the keyboard, and making the phone non-responsive while receiving messages?
I have a Verizon iPhone 6 - 128gb Space Gray
While I'm receiving banner notifications for iMessage, my phone will lock up until the notification banner clears. If I'm in the middle of typing, the keyboard will lock up and then resume back to normal once the banner goes away. No matter what task I'm doing with the iPhone, it will freeze up until the notification goes away. The touch screen becomes unresponsive. To be clear, the banner notifications are not freezing themselves. They go away on their own. But while they come in, it renders the phone useless for that 3 second time frame.
The only temporary fix I've found for this issue is to turn off iMessage notifications all together, or just turn off banner notifications for iMessage. This has to be a software issue in 8.1 and needs to be resolved ASAP.
I've troubleshooted every known possibility.
* Reset network setting = Didn't work.
* Reset all settings = Didn't work.
* Wipe Phone completely and start as new (did not restore from back up) = Didn't work.
* Restore as new from iTunes (did not restore from back up) = Didn't work.
* Visited apple store and received a replacement = Didn't work.

Jeez, the keyboard lags behind so much and the keys seem offset

Is apple working of a fix for this update error. 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error? 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error: "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error. And what the heck are media sync options?
Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error. iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect. Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer. Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

This won't work for the iphone 5...

Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.

Imessage login error with valid AppleID

I have an iPad 2 with 5.1.1 IOS. I am able to successfully log into the Apps store with my AppleID. I am able to log into the appleid.apple.com site with my Apple ID.
However, when I try to log into either iMessage or FaceTime, it complains of an invalid account or password.
I have tested the account on a Mac running Mountain Lion with the same result - iTunes login OK, iMessage login fails.
If I try to create a new iMessage account with the same email information it wont let me because it already exists, so the account is valid.
This would appear to be an issue with the iMessage account, but I can find no way of verifying or updating this.
Any suggestions??

Had the same problem and found note '1588487 - Active Directory authentication failed with InfoDesignTool'
Problem solved for me.

Bug fix for missing files error msg

from what i can tell there is still no bug fix for this issue that way too many people are getting.
why has nobody from Apple posted on this board discussing their plans for this issue?
why is this issue not noted on the tech support home page?
my bet is 95% of the people who are also getting this error don't use this message board and therefore are really clueless...

*from what i can tell there is still no bug fix for this issue that way too many people are getting.*
WHat bug/eror are you talingk about?
*why has nobody from Apple posted on this board discussing their plans for this issue?*
This is a user-to-user forum.
Besides, what good would it do if Apple posted, "we are working on it"?
Most likely, any problems with iTunes are being looked at.
why is this issue not noted on the tech support home page?
What issue? Maybe it's not a big enough problem to make a big deal out of.
my bet is 95% of the people who are also getting this error don't use this message board
If that's the case, why should Apple post something?

What are the cause and fix for the following error message? NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED failure code: 0x80520015

Every time I close my Firefox browser I receive the following error message (see details below).
FYI:
-- I am running the current version of Firefox.
-- I had no problems with this error message until my computer was recently attacked by 2 viruses:
` SystemFix
` Win7 Antivirus 2012
Both viruses have since been cleaned from my computer. However, I am still receiving this error message.
Here are my questions:
* What are the cause and fix for this problem?
* Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
* Is it possible that this error message is related to an add-on and that it has nothing to do with the recent virus attacks?
I look forward to any feedback and support you might be able to provide.
Thanks,

I have ran into the subject error when I update Dreamweaver. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Try downloading and installing the update manually from http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html

The fix for the A12E1 Error code!!

After weeks of talking to people at Adobe and doing every single fix they told me and having complete failure every single time I finally got it nailed thanks to the 6-7th guy I talked to!
Here is the fix for A12E1....
On your computer you will create a NEW USER ACCOUNT
Be sure to give it ADMINISTRATOR access
Go to Adobe.com and download CRETIVE CLOUD, it will install the CC as well as the ADOBE APPLICATION MANAGER
When the install is complete and you've downloaded all of the programs you want SWITCH BACK to your old USER ACCOUNT and the programs will all be in there ready to roll.
I never thought I would be done with this giant pain but it really does work
Hit me up on Twitter and let me know how it goes for you. @Bruce_Bishop
Enjoy

Uninstall the application, reinstall it. Also download the update manually from the Adobe site. Without knowing anything about your system, it doesn't get any more specific than that. And please ask such questions in the product specific forum next time.

Numbers 3 & Google Drive - My fix for newer version error

HI there,
I recently encountered the "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." error message when opening a numbers 3 spreadsheet that I hadn't used for three weeks or so. It worked fine previously but now it didn't want to open.
I googled the problem and found that various issues can cause this error message to pop up, none of which solved my problem, until I read a post on this forum about dropbox and the new .numbers file/package that got me thinking in the right direction.
My spreadsheets are in my google drive folder, and I had previously noticed that google drive was syncing the new .numbers files as a folder containing the package rather than a single file. This never stopped anything from opening or working so I figured this was how google was going to handle the change to numbers 3.
Newly created numbers 3 spreadsheets work fine, but older number 2.3 spreadsheets that were previously updated to numbers 3 seem to cause problems when used with google drive. Google drive's software updated itself on my mac a little while ago, this is probably related.
MY FIX - Resync the file stored on google drive
(worked for me, backup before trying anything obviously)
Google drive must be running, I'd quit numbers too, and you need to be connected to the internet.
From your mac, move the spreadsheet out of your google drive folder onto your desktop (or wherever really). This will move the file that google has to the bin on google drive, you'll probably get a message pop up from google drive about moving the file to the bin etc.
Now go to google drive on the web, go to your bin and find the spreadsheet you just moved/deleted. For me this was a folder named after my spreadsheet containing the file package. I had to sort the bin by "recently added" to find it.
Then restore the whole file/folder back to its original location:
Select the file then click "restore" or right click the file and chose restore.
Next google drive will resync this file back to your mac. Once it was synced fully sync I could open it fine in numbers 3. Then I trashed the old file that I moved to the desktop previously.
This method will probably work for pages and keynote files that can't be opened if they're on google drive. I think dropbox may have updated itself to fix these, but if not then resyncing this way

Hi,
I take it the Cable Modem does not route ?
I take it Airport means Airport Base Station and not the Airport card in the Mac ?
IS the Base Station the only device that routes ?

How do I to fix 2 Console reported errors in Mac OS 10.4.11

When I start up my old G4 with OS 10.4.11, its Console reports
2 errors, as shown on the screen shot below
There are many "plists", so I do not know which one needs correcting.
In my System I located "/en" here:
"~System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation,Framework/[symbol with a number unerneath}/Languages/en"
I recently had to to replace my high-speed Siemens DNS unit when it failed to power on. My service provider
replaced it with a newer faster model which bears only the srvice provider's name (Telus), it is supposed to be
much faster and there was no charge for the replacement. It seems to work fine to send stuff to my G4 and
MacBookAir., I do not know what "WIde Area Service Discovery" is, or how to fix that. The DNS relay number
appears to be my computers address, I substituted some xxx's to safeguard this address.in this post.

Re: What exactly solved my problems:
Thanks to your earlier reply citing even earlier discussions on thr same subject,
I followed the lead given in that post going to doug pennington
reply to jbtcat and looking at the websites mentionrd in these discussions, it was
all there, it informed me where to find the plists, why not to worry about
the WAN problem on my DNS unit ( I do not use a Wide Area Network), etc.
I tried to be brief in my reply..
