FIX FOR SOME IPODS!!!

This fix came from Caspar (Thank you SOOO much!). It took me 10 minutes to do this and now my beloved ipod nano is back! Hopefully this will help some of you:
Original Problem: Updated iTunes(6.0.5) and iPod nano (1.2). After the update, iTunes would not recognize my iPod and therefore would not let me remove the iPod from my computer, which seems to be the problem most people are having.
The Fix:
*uninstall iTunes, iPod, and any updates (make sure anything related to these two programs are not on your computer)
*Open Control Panel
*Click the "switch to classic view" link, if
necessary
*Double click "administrative tools"
*Double click "computer management"
*Under "storage" click on "disk management"
*Find your iPod's listing
*Right-click on it and click "format"
*Select "FAT32" and start the format
*After reformatting, remove iPod from computer
*Download iTunes directly from the Apple website (I didn't restart my computer at the prompt)
*Download 6/28/06 update for iPod (do NOT plug iPod in before doing this!)
*Open update for iPod and wait until prompt to plug iPod in (do not plug in early)
*Wait for the update....and there ya have it!!
Hopefully this will help some people, as I have spent the past 2 weeks doing the 5R's thing. After completing the steps above, I haven't had a problem with my iPod..and now my Nike+ works!! Thanks again, Caspar...you're a genius!!
p.s. if this helps, please repost this message to others who have the same problem as we do...

Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
Respectfully,
Nate

This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked websites online and also for the first time been able to download a 300MB+ file. I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers but it could be at least a temp fix for some. For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

Fix for unresponsive IPOD

I own a computer business and I have a lot of broken IPOD's come in the door. Last night I got one that I have never seen. It kept restarting itself. When it would come up there was a blue screen with data flashing.
The IPOD was unresponsive not showing up in iTunes or on "My Computer." I plugged it up to a Mac and still No Response. I got on here and read all of your posts about taking it apart and disconnecting the battery. I did that, and still, NOTHING.
Here is what I did to fix the iPod. It is very simple, but I thought I would share with you.
1) Plug the iPod into any computer.
2) Hold down the Menu and the select button for 20 seconds.
3) When you let go, the apple symbol will come on. Immediately hold down the select button and the play button. Your computer should immediately recognize the iPod. (If it does not work the 1st time, try the sequence 3 or 4 times to insure that you got the sequence correct.)
I hope this helps some of you who are needlessly taking your iPod apart.

Yes, this is forcing the iPod into Disk Mode. Often this will work as well for an ipod that keeps rebooting over and over and never getting to the main menu. Once in Disk Mode, iTunes will often "see" it and you can now perform a restore on the iPod.

An easy fix for some iTunes Match glitches

I found that some cover art would not display on my iPhone, even though the same album would show cover art on my iMac and on the MacMini, from which it was uploaded to iCloud. Other problems occurred, too weird to describe here.
Investigating the problem, I found that this was caused by some "stuck" sync attempts, trying to download songs from iCloud to the iPhone.
Fix:
1. disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.
2. Delete all music from the iPhone (right swipe, click delete)
3. some music will remain and can neither be downloaded nor deleted. These are the "stuck" items that cause the problems.
4. Attach iPhone to iTunes
5. Select your iPhone in iTunes, then click on "Music".
6. You will see the "stuck" songs, greyed out. Most of my problematic songs showed up twice or three times, with a non-moving sync indicator in the first column.
7. delete these songs (select all, right click, delete). I had to do this twice for some unknown reason. Force a sync and check again, to verify that they are indeed gone.
Once the songs are gone, disconnect the iPhone from your computer. Check the music application. It should display no songs. Now, go to settings and re-enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Wait until the busy indicator disappears. This may take several minutes, depending on the size of your music library. I assume that this is the time it takes to download cover art and metadata, needed to display the list of albums.
What is displayed on your iPhone should now match what is in the cloud.
At this point, I am just guessing, but it seems that the iTunes Match code on the iPhone is not yet 100% bullet proof, and that it can sometimes become confused by a combination of intermittent network connectivity on the iPhone and updates to the iCloud library. Once a sync attempt gets stuck, the affected file seems to be locked and will never display the proper cover art, sometimes affecting the display of the whole album.
I will keep an eye on this. Probably the code will become more robust over time.

i got this problem since yesterday.
at first (a couple of days) --> i could delete all the songs by a simple sync due itunes....
--> clean music app
but now... everything stuck in itunes match sync
--> no fix, worked for me
i thought i had played around with the iphone to much, so i took the ipad...
and did a VERY CLEAN delete.... close music app --> disable itunes match --> wait for the spinner --> open the musik app --> wait for the spinner --> close music app --> usage --> delete all music --> itunes sync..
but same problem like on the iphone about 10 songs stuck in itunes match sync... not able to get rid of them.
on ipad and iphone! --> strange!
i tried also to delete all grey songs by (managing music and video manuelly)... after new sync i see the grey songs again.
i have also noticed that there is a sync problem when you are changing any "Metadata" - cover, ablum, genre... so you have to clean your music app - (fresh itunes match sync)
so i stuck
and im not able to sync any new data from itunes match.
where is the magic? Apple?
this is like windows ME

Wireless Problems: Observations/Possible Fix for Some (No Guarantees)

Hi All:
I have been following our wireless problem threads. To a large extent, they revolve around lost connections, weak signals, etc. On my machine, I previously noticed what appeared to be wide fluctuations in signal strength, although I could almost always pick up one distant network that has to be at least 125' away regardless of my apparent signal strength. Also, I never lost my connection. I also have noticed that my Windows notebooks pick up more networks than my MBP, even though some must be farther away than 125'.
Recently, I had to reinstall all my software. Once resolved I'll explain why and what to look out for. Anyway, before the reinstall, I had done all updates. When I reinstalled, I also did all updates. The bottom line is that I have not seen the wide fluctuations in signal strength since reinstalling. Sometimes I see more networks than I am used to seeing.
Am I suggesting that you reinstall to eliminate the types of problems mentioned above? Definitely not especially if your problem is pretty minor. However, if your problem is significant, then think about it. Perhaps a greater than expected number of partially bad factory installs accounts for some of our problems.
I finished my reinstall only about 24 hours ago. I'll continue to monitor and will post back if I begin to see the wide signal strength fluctuations again.

Nope, thanks. I certainly advocate all trying any possible fixes prior to taking the drastic step of reinstalling. Hope the update works for all. I must of installed it yesterday with a number of other updates. Thus, it wasn't what "fixed" my system. But, it looks like it didn't hurt it either. Both are good to know:) Gosh, and looking at some of the recent posts in this category, I am glad that none of the recent updates hosed anything on my machine. Then, I'd me reinstalling again and being more selective about the updates.
I have to admit I have been throwing caution to the wind on doing all the updates. I think I'd better go back to my old style of seeing if there are update rumblings before I install them.

Permanent Fix For Some FF4 Oddities?

I just upgraded to FireFox 4, but the minor annoyances are about even with the helpful new features. I've found some about:config fixes for most of the things that irk me, but the problem is that they only seem to last for the current session...when I close FireFox and open it again, it seems as though I need to apply those fixes yet again. And since one such fix is restoring my open tabs whenever I close and reopen my browser, you can imagine how irritating this can be. Is there some way to make these about:config tweaks permanent? What is it that causes them to return to the default each time?
It really baffles me that FF4 defaults to such bizarre habits that FF3 had no issue with, but that's the beauty of customization. However, if I can't get my personal taste tweaks to stick, well...that's when I really come to take issue with the design team's bizarre new decisions. :/

I tried everything on that list and it's not working. Though it seems there's only one preference that's being reset now; I think I changed about three settings in about:config and the others seem to be retaining their new values whenever I close and reopen my browser. The one that isn't is keyboard.url - this now defaults to chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties while I want it to change and stay changed to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and it just doesn't seem to want to stick. Is there any reasonable explanation for this happening? I'm tired of using the awesomebar to search for things the easy way I did in FF3 such as "the beatles wikipedia' and having it give me this error when it used to direct me to the wikipedia entry of whatever I plugged in. This is an incredibly annoying change for something that used to just work, and I want my changed setting for it to stick permanently.

Bridge CC slow? Here's a fix for some situations

Like so many of you, I have been having issues with my Adobe Bridge CS6 & Adobe Bridge CC 2014 installations both being very slow (5-10 seconds to open any context menus, folder update taking minutes, etc). Even though my machine was more than capable, something was limiting my Bridge performance.
After experimenting, I finally came up a solution that fixed it for me and others in my company.
It seemed like any action I took in Bridge was making it ping my distant network drives, which added a huge delay to any operations. I realized that this might be stemming from the fact that my company operated a Windows desktop syncing server / domain (no clue what i's actually called..) that would back up our user profiles automatically. By creating a local user and running Bridge through that (even while logged in on my main account), my performance is 1000% better.
Here's what I did:
1) While logged in on my main account, I created a new basic user on my local machine following these guidelines, writing down the username/password that I used for this new user
2) I went into "All Programs", right clicked the Bridge CC 2014 icon, and chose "Send To > Desktop (Create new shortcut)"
3) On my desktop, I right clicked the newly created Bridge icon and selected "Properties"
4) Under the "Shortcut > Target" option, I entered: C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:COMPNAME\NEWUSER /savecred "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Bridge.exe" (Where COMPNAME is is my computer name and NEWUSER is the username of the user I created in step 1)
5) Clicked "Change Icon..." and then "Browse", navigated to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)", and chose the Bridge.exe file to use as my new icon
6) Clicked OK to save the shortcut
7) Then I ran the shortcut and was prompted for the password I setup in step 1, which I entered, then hit "Enter" (it should save this from now on, due to the /savecred option we used in step 4)
Like that, my Bridge was back to performing like it did in CS5! As long as I used the new shortcut I created, my Bridge continued to work well. Using the "old" shortcuts wouldn't break anything, but Bridge would run very slowly.
Some things to note:
1) You will have to resetup ALL of your preferences/keywords panel/favorites/windows/etc for this "local" Bridge - none of your actual image files should be affected, though
2) In order to access network drives through this "local" Bridge, you will need to use "Switch User" to login as the user you created in step 1, map the network drives while logged in as that user, and then logout (and this may add the same slowness back to Bridge!)
3) Performing actions on network drives with the "local" Bridge may actually be slower using this method, which is why we now use the "local" Bridge only for local work and the original Bridge for working on a network drive
4) May make your systems administrator mad if they don't want you setting up new users..
5) Plugins/Scripts may need to be edited to work with the "local" Bridge
Here's some background on my computer:
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 4GB
i7 4900MQ @ 2.80GHz
128GB SSD
I hope this helps other people as much as it has helped us!!

Never should have been a question - sorry.

HT6147 I was expecting fix for some other issues in this update.

In this Update I was expecting a Celular data and iTunes WiFi Sync fix.
Issue on the Celular Data option is that after deactivatinh Cel-Data on some apps as soon as we leave that screen it turns back on.
Many threads are started upon this issue. Click Here
Issue on iTunes WiFi sync is pretty much simple, it doesn't work at all.
Tried all tips that can be found Here and still doesn't work.
I hope that soon there's gonna be an update for these issues too.

1. You take screenshot by long pressing power and volume down button (booth at same time) in ICS, thats how google has made it.
2. What beautiful lockscreen are you talking about? Sony has kept the lockscreen same because thats the lock screen many users are used to.
3. Yes music player is same. I have an Arc S, the music player is same. The music player with equalizer is in Xperia S not in Arc S.
4. Google never said any such things. You can see the recently opened apps by LONG PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON and can close them by Swiping it off the screen.
5. Once again Google didnt say any such thing. If you want to change transision effects and stuff use Apex Launcher instead of Sony's launcher. You can get Apex launcher for free from Play Store.
Hope i helped. If you have any question ask i'll try to help.

A fix for excessive iPod scratches!

Ive participated in a number of message board discussions here regarding the iPod Nano excessive scratch issue. I myself am the owner of a white iPod Nano, and have experienced this problem. Heres what seems to have worked for me:
I used some Novus 2 to gently buff out the scratches, as Ive done with my other iPods, and have repeated this process several times over the past couple of days. Overall, Ive been pleased with the results. Not only did it remove the noticeable scratches, but it also appears to have been beneficial in preventing new scratches from appearing.
Based on my own experience, I think this issue is caused by a thin invisible residue that is exposed when you remove the protective sticker from the iPod part of the plastic manufacturing process maybe? Since I started applying Novus 2, I noticed that the surface of my iPod Nano is smoother than it was when I first removed the protective sticker and it doesnt scratch as easily as it did before.
Anyone else tried this?

Hi, just posted the comments below to a different message forum but based on my experience and the work required to get the scratches to go away, I'm thinking this was not due to a film. Even so, I'll see how the Nano looks with normal use now that I have the surface looking better.
Rob
My white Nano that I purchased on 9/10 is also full of scratches, particularly visible over the screen. These showed up on the first day after placing the nano in a pocket with no other objects. Since then I have been very careful and still have gotten a few more "smudge scratches" that make viewing the screen difficult.
So I stopped in a different Apple store (traveling) and the sales guy said "yes, we are seen them scratch", then recommended Ice Creem by RadTech (http://www.radtech.us/Products/IceCreme.aspx) I just received it yesterday and about 30 min on the Nano with pretty good results. At least the screen is not distorted when viewing. Others may have different outcomes depending on severity of scratches, etc. Note, I have no association with RadTech, just a user.
Will I return my Nano? Not sure (I love it!) but it would be great to get objective feedback to resolve the possibility that some of us are victims of a "batch defect."

TIP: Fix for crashing iPods on (notebook) USB ports!

I've read many stories here about iPods crashing on updates, or otherwise behaving unpredictable whilst connected to a computer. I also encountered such problems.
Now I've found that, particularly on notebooks, there is an energy setting on the USB port(s) that is very likely to potentially cause problems if set incorrectly. This is especially true if USB-energy dependent devices like iPod are connected to it.
To fix this, go to: system management -> computer management -> appliances -> USB controllers. There double-click on 'USB main hub' (or right-click and choose 'properties'). Next go to the 'energy management' tab and uncheck 'allow computer to switch off this device to save energy'. Repeat for every USB hub you may want to use for iPod or any other USB-energy dependent device. *
Most likely this will fix any related problems.
HTH!
* NB: since my OS is in Dutch I've translated this into English myself. The exact terminology may therfore differ, but I'm sure you'll get the idea...
PS: if this fix is helpful for many folks encountering these problems, perhaps the Admin or Mods can make it a 'sticky' topic to help new iPod owners in the future?

There are several steps to get to the place in Windows.
Ready...
1a) Goto Control Panel
1b) If your in Category View Select Performance Maintenance
1c) Select System

6) Locate the a USB Root Hub
7) Right Mouse click and select properties or just double click
8) In the USB Root Hub Properties dialog box select the Power Management Tab
9) Uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power checkbox.
10) Click ok.

Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...

If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
-iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
-iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
-iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
-No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
-Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
-The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
-iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
-The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
To change the drive letter:
-Open Control Panel in Windows
-Go to Administrative Tools
-Go to Computer Management
-Go to Disk Management
-Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
-Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
-click OK
-Click yes on the confirmation box
-Restart computer
Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!

Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac.

Fix for some safari unexpected quits

Hello all, Recently Safari on my computer has been quitting for no reason what so ever, I thought i had tried everything, and almost reinstalled OSX then I stumbled onto the fix, if safari is crashing alot for you try this, it might fix it.
1. Go to a webpage that has alot of flash content http://www.macromedia.com/ works well If safari crashes when it loads the page this might fix your problem
2. Go to Macintosh HD then Library then Internet Plug-Ins
3. Delete the Flash Player Enabler.plugin, Flash Player.plugin, and flashplayer.xpt
4. Open Firefox, (download it if you do not have it at http://www.getfirefox.com/)
5. go to macromedia.com again, Firefox should tell you you need to download plugins and ask you if you want to do so, say yes or click ok or whatever and let Firefox install flash for you.
Now go back to Safari and everything should work perfectly, I dont know why this works, but something about the macromedia flash installer messes up Safari.
I hope this helps, I posted this because I know how obscure this seems, and most people would wind up reinstalling OS X, and then having a bad experience, and blaming it on the OS (like I almost did)
,Macattack

No, I'm on 10.4.5 (gotta change that) I did what the above post reccommended to no avail. Interestingly, Safari asked if I wanted to save the changes I made. Thing is, I didn't make any changes! (Could have been due to the Flash re-load) I did discover that my preferences had been changed, and that's why my keychains didn't work the way they have been. (Waiting to load is the first thing I checked) Anyway, this is the first time that I started Safari since those changes, so maybe that is the fix.
BTW, the trouble is that Safari quits unexpectedly and often. I noticed that this is often when I am loading Flash content. (which loads VERY slow on my fast connection) Now, as I mentioned above, it usually happens as I'm scrolling fast on a different page (fully loaded or not). I'm not sure if it happens when I'm not doing this, but this is how I've been getting it to fail on me to test it. I know, it's like the old joke: "Doc, it hurts when I do this!" "So, don't do that."
