Get my PC Suite 3.2 to work again (PC Companion not wanted)

It seems the older PC Suites can be better and you can lose a feature when they upgrade (e.g. the upgrade for 3.2 had the data counter dropped). That's why I hesitated to allow PC Companion to download but I thought I could always reverse again and get the PC Suite back (I have the cd-rom).
After PC Companion was installed I found that the only function that works is Internet Connection. As soon as I click on [back] to access any other PC Companion function it auto-disconnects from the internet and when, you click on any function, it tells you to connect to the internet and download software (for Text Messaging, syncro etc.) It assumes that you also have a landline connection to make these extra downloads. PC Suite 3.2 could do all the functions without first disconnecting from the internet or downloading extra software through a landline connection. It would also tell you if your phone's time was different from the pc time.
When I try to set up PC Suite 3.2 again the phone's driver installation does not complete and I get a balloon message: [GTP device] and the installation hangs. The Suite might also give a phone connection sound alert but it then disconnects. This happens every few seconds. I sent all this information in a few forms to Sony Ericsson but after the first response to say they would be helping me within a few days, I got no answer from them.
Their call centre said that the PC companion must have altered my pc so that it can no longer make use of any previous PC Suites. What I have noticed with PC Companion is that it seems to make internet connection in a different way. After plugging my usb cable from the pc to the phone, the phone display indicates that some kind of data message is sent. This didn't happen with PC Suite so it seems to me that the PC Companion has altered the way my phone operates, rather than altering my pc. This is supported by the fact that my old PC Suite cd-rom installs the program with no hitches. The problem comes when the phone is attached for the first time and installation of the second set of drivers, sent by the phone, fails near the point of completion. I have a w890i and an older w850i.
I can uninstall PC Companion but I need a solution to complete phone driver installation after re-installation of PC Suite 3.2.

Unfortunately I am not aware of any method to resolve this as in most cases simply loading up PC Suite then attempting to make use of its functions will prompt an update that leaves you with PC Companion anyway. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
Do one of the following:
USB
Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Wireless
Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
Ethernet
Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
Do one of the following:
If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ.

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

Open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have. If it's 10.8, reinstall OS X 10.8.3 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
If, after reinstalling the update, you still can't use Safari, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion

My iPhone cannot make or receive calls. I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work. I do not want to delete all of my contacts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode. I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing. This is beyond silly.

TS1559 I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem

I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem?

I have the same problem. After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work. I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now. I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products. Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

Keep getting 'Well that's Embarassing" message starting previous session, I do not want to start previous session, I always want new session. Need an option for this.

Keep getting "Well that's Embarrassing" message starting previous session. I do not want to start previous session. I always want a new session. Need an option to always start a new session.

Both of the above cited options help ONLY if "sites to be restored" ''are listed''.
They used to be(when I first switched to Firefox); now they are not(even with the "Oops! This is embarassing..." message from FF where the "Restore Session" option is shown but with nothing IN it, y'see?).
I've been going through the FAQs &c in the Mozilla Support sites/linx. Lots of interesting things but not quite that for which I search.
Open to suggestions, I remain, ~=DVexedVixen

How do I get the back button in Safari to work again?

The back button stopped working. I can only refresh the page. To go back I need to go up to History, and click back. I loved it when the back button worked. Any suggestions? I have a MACBook and Leopard

For any of you who have had this problem... here is the real solution. On the upper task bar, Go to VIEW, open up CUSTOMIZE TOOL BAR, find the FORWARD AND BACK ARROWS and DRAG THEM UP TO WHERE THEY BELONG. How did they disappear?..... some accidental combination of keystrokes deleted them, I don't remember what that was. End of story and I am sticking to it

How do I get the Brother Printers Control Center to work again?

The Brother Control Center for Brother's MultiFunction Printer/Scanners disappeared after upgrading to Snow Leopard. The previous files were erased in HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\ and the Control Center is gone. The Brother USA website http://www.brother-usa.com only lists software updates for 10.5. 10.6 is not listed as an option
How do I start the Control Center to scan documents and chose between different Brother printers?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this link. It helped me find the solution.
1. Take the Brother Install DVD and reinstall the printer software.
2. Ignore that there is newer software on your computer.
3. Restart the computer
4. Go into the HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\Control Center directory and restart the ControlCenter
5. Run Software Update and install the SL printer update
6. Reconfigure the ControlCenter software buttons via the customize buttons as needed
Everything seems to be working fine again.

You don't HAVE to put that passcode in. If you look closely you'll see the option to skip it. That's what I did for my touch.
