Garageband 10 and Digidesign 002 will not play nice...Please help!
Back Story:
I have a 2008 iMac with upgraded RAM. It has been working perfectly, er, IS working perfectly. No need to upgrade yet. I am running Mountain Lion, and ProTools 8 through a Digidesign 002rack. Everything is fat and happy.
One day a couple of months ago...I was happily plunking away doing whatever, and I get the prompt to upgrade to mavericks. I think to myself, this should be a good way to make sure my 5 year old computer looks and feels brand new. I run down the list o software I use thinking if there will be any compatibility issues...itunes, safari, firefox, word, excel...hmm, should be fine. so I upgrade.
Mavericks is great! Looks cool, has a few new features to sync with my ipad and iphone. Life is good.
I wake up in the middle of the night with a great song idea (usually the good stuff comes to me while I'm sleeping). I fire up the rig and...wait what? ProTools won't launch. I do a quick google and find that PT will not yet work with Mavericks. Ok, that's fine, I can wait until they fix that.
Few weeks later, I hear they've fixed it! Woohoo! Oh, hmm, Avid has only fixed it for the newest version of ProTools, PT11. That's $600. Ok, well, I have a decent job, I take great pride in my music, and it makes me happy...so...ok, I'll drop the 6 bills and upgrade to the new version of PT.
When on the Digi site, looking at compatibility...I see that my 2008 iMac with the intel core 2 duo processor will not work with PT11.
Hmm. Ok, now what? Downgrade back to Mountain Lion? Apple won't let you do that, and I do not have a time machine backup.
Last ditch attempt...I try to install my Snow Leopard operating system from a disc that I still have. Nope. Installer not compatible.
Argh. So now I'm saving for a new computer, so I can run the new version of ProTools...replacing a perfectly working machine for absolutely no reason. This is frustrating. Until I save the money (it probably makes sense at this point to wait until the newest 2014 iMac comes out in the fall...therefore futureproofing myself as much as possible), I figure I'm stuck with Garageband until then. So I download the newest version of GB, GB10 from the app store.
I fire up the 002, go to the preferences in GB and select the 002 for input/output, plug in the guitar and...nothing. no sound, no recognition of input. As a test, I throw in a drum loop, and no sound for output either.
I go into audio/midi utility, 002 is selected. My Digi core audio manager says the 002 is connected. If I change the GB preferences to "built in output," the drum loop comes through loud and clear.
I am so totally out of ideas, and so completely frustrated at my whole situation, that I am turning to the general public to help me for the first time ever. I am willing to try anything, in any configuration, to make my freakin' guitar plug into my freakin' computer and record whatever semblence of notes I am calling a song.
This should not be too much to ask given the thousands of dollars worth of equipment I have sitting on my desk.
AAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!! Please Help!

Please help! Itunes fails to open on my macbook pro. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and it still will not work!
Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

CS5 Bridge will not open, Air will not install, and AAM Updater will not update. Please help!
I am having several problems with CS5, and as best I can tell they all seem to be related. I purchased CS5 about a month ago. Photoshop has opened and ran fine. However, recently AAM notified me some several updates available. When I tried to update them they all failed. This lead to the discovery that Bridge will not open at all, Air installs but with an error and cannot update itself or applications like Adobe Help, and since the AAM updater ran it now thinks everything is up to date.
I have search endlessly for every piece of information I could find on this issue. As well as, sat on the phone with tech support for hours. As best I can tell, (and really I have no evidence to support me), it seems to all be related to a permissions issues. However, I have tried everything the forums suggested with no luck, and Tech Support ended with me doing an Uninstall and reinstall (twice), while repairing permissions in-between. I am about at the end of the road with this issue and would greatly appreciate any additional suggests you could offer.
Some additional details.
Running a MBP i7, 8GB RAM, and MAC OSX 10.6.4
Bridge Issue,
When attempting to launch Bridge it simply returns an error "This operation could not be completed..." I tried the option click and reset method, no luck.
Air Issue,
Kind of works, but at the same time doesn't. In that in one of the previous installations programs like Adobe Help would not run. Now Help does run, however, when I go to update Air it says it completed successfully but then immediately gives me an error saying "~this may not be allowed by the administrator..." I also cannot update Adobe Help, it just sits and says preparing to update.
AAM Updater Issue,
This appeared to work fine until I attempted to install an update. It downloaded everything and then failed on the install. However, now it thinks everything is up to date, but nothing is.Well despite not getting much love on this forum. I was able to correct the problem. I tried every solution that google would produce on these issues. Ultimately it came done to permission issue. I was lead to this fix by a person on flickr that suggested permissions as the cause. However, his solution was to modify the permissions in the home directory root and apply them to every subsequent folder in the home directory. Although quick and easy, I felt this would lead to more trouble then it was worth.
I did some more digging and what I discovered is that all the permission of the Adobe folders in the home directory library (not the HD library) and the application folder did not match all the other folders in those areas. Some of the files in some of the folders did not match either. So I made them match (the ones that matched I left alone), and everything seemingly went back to working normally. It was a bit of a pain going folder by folder. Fortunately there where not many of them. About 8 in total, plus the internal folders. -
Captivate 4 and Blackboard Vista will not play nice
I have built online training modules for online literacy, CP4 is not doing a good job of initializing the gradebook and fails half the time. Any ideas? I can provide more details as needed. I have read through alot of documentation and made some tweaks but the problem persists.
Which settings do you use for Quiz (if any), reporting, Manifest? Have been using CP on BB since 6 years, not experienced those issues, but had to search for the right settings at the start.

Linksys WRTU54G-TM and Trendnet tew-631brp not playing nice together, HELP
Ok so, since getting the tmobile@home service I have been having nothing but issues with my setup.
My current config setup includes the Comcast Cable modem <to WAN port of> Trendnet tew-631brp <LAN to WAN port of> Linkysy WRTU54G-TM and the WRT set to bridged mode. WRT firewall disabled, Wifi Disabled, Main router is the Trendnet with Wifi-N enabled. No machines are hard wired to my routers, I use only the Wifi-N from my trendnet.
Now the internet works as expected, except when you go to use the VOIP phone. When you pick it up, the net connection drops out and the Trendnet router reboots.
I have tried making the WRT the main router and having the Trendnet be the secondary, I've turned firewalls off, I've added them each router to the DMZ and nothing nothing nothing will fix this issue. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?I just tried adding the WRT as the main router and the 631 as the secondary router, and it still won't work. Would the NAT cause an issue when it's set-up this way as well? This is so confusing.

I have up dated my itune and now it will not play my old purchase movies. I have brought new ones and they work but my old purchases will not. Why and how can I fix it.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -

I purchased a film on iTunes and sync to Apple TV (1) and the film will not play say not authorised please help?
This problem seems to have started around October 28, it appears to affect content purchased only on other devices but played on the Apple TV 1.
There have been other workarounds suggested from time to time, but I have found the simplest solution is to purchase something on the Apple TV 1 directly (There may be free content in some locations and this appears to work just as well).
Once the content has been purchased, it will not only play as normal, but will also allow all other content purchased on other devices after October 28 to play as well.
Some have reported that it's necessary to restart the Apple TV before and/or after purchase, but I found it worked without. -
I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play. Can anyone help?
Try this - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org
