  • I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock.  About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor.  But the computer locks up.

    Do you have Parallels installed by any chance?  There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this.  You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels.  An update corrects the problem:

  • Having problems with my macBook Air wifi staying connected

    I'm having problems with my MacBook Air staying connected to wifi....Help - Very frustrating!!!

    When you go to perform a software update or make a system change it'll prompt you for an administrator's password. If you're the only user on the machine, you're also the administrator.
    If you've forgotten this password it can be reset using Disc 1 of the System Restore DVDs that came with your computer. Because the MBA lacks an optical drive there are two ways to perform the password reset:
    1. Purchase/use the external, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive
    2. Use CD/DVD sharing between another, compatible computer on your network
    Steps on how to do this are found between 46-49 in the owner's guide that came with your machine or it can be downloaded via the web at:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/MacBook_Air_UsersGuide.pdf

  • I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.'  I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select

    I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.'  I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
    I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
    It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

    Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
    (Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?

    Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?

    I have had no success in updating my Verizon 32GB i Phone 4 with ios5.  Every time I go thru the update software process I get an error message 3104.  I follow the thread and it has me re-load i Tunes.  I have done this and still get the error 3194 and will not let me install ios 5.  I have a Dell 64 Bit processor running Windows 7 (64).  Very dissipointed, this is the first glitch I have had after converting to Apple.  Also having the same problem with iPAD2 update for ios5.  So this may point to a problem with i Tunes.
    I have gone to Google and looked up the problem and there appear to be several fixes such as add a line of language to the i Tumes software or remove a line.  This is a little too much for a mear mortal like me to be fooling around with re-writing software language.
    Frustration level - High.  Dissipointment level - Higher.
    Thanks for the venue...

  • HT4097 I'm having problems updating my apps, when I press updates, it's just a white screen, but when I push the featured or genius buttons, apps appear, what can I do?

    I'm having problems updating my apps, the screen just stays white....

    Read this on iLounge posted by ahMEmon
    Go into Settings > General > International > Language and choose British English, then hit the Done button. The screen will go black with a comment about Language Settings. Be Patient, especially if you have a lot of apps. Let it run it's course and Then open the App Store again. Voila! Upgrade list is back. And it stuck when i changed back to plain English. He doesn't know why. I don't either. But I am now a happy camper. Worked on my 3rd gen iPad and iPad Mini.
    Hope it works for you!

  • Having problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, iT wont update when I click the update button. How do i fix this problem? And does anyone esle have this same issue?

    Having Problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, it wont update when I click the download button to update the itunes. What should I do to fix the issue? And does Anyone esle have this problem?

    Just want to update the problem everybody is having downloading  the new update.  If you waited, and didn't try to reinstall or anything, it looks like a "fix" is coming to you.  My previous ITunes was working fine so I decided to just wait it out and see if Apple would fix it. Knew it wasn't my computer because of all the same questions in this forum.  And I want to let all to know that when I signed on to my computer today an Apple Software Update window popped up on my desktop.  (Not the little one we've all been clicking on from the ITunes screen.). This came up right on my desktop.  I clicked on it to download and it worked like a charm.  After it was done downloading I pulled up ITunes and all looked great, all my purchases, songs were still there.  I then plugged in my IPod and then my IPad and they both synced, etc., ....all is well again!  So it you didn't try to re-install or anything, and have just been waiting and using your current version of ITunes, be patient.  Looks like the fix will be coming to you, too.

  • Having problems with my macbook's headphone jack. :(

    I'm having problems with my Macbook's headphone jack. Every time I insert an earphone/s or headphones into the jack it works perfectly but when I remove the earphones my Macbook does not recognize that I've already removed the earphones in effect the speaker of the Macbook does not work. Anybody experiencing the same problem?
    TIA

    Hi extrarice23,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you remove the headphones from the jack, is there a red light that remains on (inside the jack) after the headphones are removed? It's very possible that the receptacles inside the jack are getting stuck and thinking that the headphones are still plugged into the computer.
    You can try getting a can of compressed air, clearing out the port.

    The following macs are compatible with Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)

    If your computer doesn't meet these, Lion is the next step up from Snow Leopard. 

  • If you're having problems updating firmware and have Windows Media Player 11 B

    I've seen a number of problems with people updating their firmware with WMP installed and it turns out that's the problem. WMP has a bug in it that will not allow the firmware update to recognize the player. So, here's what to do to roll back to a previous version:
    These instructions will only work for Windows XP
    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform the following procedure.
    . Disconnect any portable music or video devices that might be attached to your computer.
    2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    3. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    4. Click Windows Media Player , and then click Remove.
    If Windows Media Player is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
    . At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
    2. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Player , and then click Change/Remove.
    5. In each of the two confirmation dialog boxes that appear, click OK.
    6. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes), click Restart.
    7. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    8. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    9. Click Windows Media Format Runtime, and then click Remove.
    If Windows Media Format Runtime is not displayed in the list of currently installed programs, then try the following:
    . At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
    2. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Format Runtime, and then click Change/Remove.
    If you installed a non-US English version of Windows Media Player , the instructions in the dialog boxes that are mentioned in steps 9, 0, and might appear in English.
    0. In the first confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.
    . In the second confirmation dialog box that appears, select the Do you want to continue with the rollback? check box, and then click OK.
    2. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Restart.
    3. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    4. In the Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
    5. Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack .0.0, and then click Remove.
    6. Follow the instructions that appear in the Software Update Removal Wizard.
    If the Wudf0000 confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. When the software removal process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Finish.
    If you are still having problems and all else fails, do a System Restore to before WMP was installed.
    *Note: If you remove Windows Media Player and the Windows Media Format Runtime, and then encounter error C00D27D ("A problem has occurred in the Digital Rights Management component. Contact Microsoft product support, you might be able to resolve the problem by installing the Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime. For information about installing the Runtime, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, see article 8922, "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players."
    **You might not be able to roll back to a previous version of the Player if the hidden folder $NtUninstallwmp$ is deleted from your computer. Some non-Microsoft programs (such as CCleaner) delete this folder in an attempt to remove unwanted files from your computer.
    More information here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer
    Some people have found these instructions to be a solution to the "Player Not Connected" Error when trying to update the firmware. (Your mileage may vary)
    Note to Mods: This would make a nice sticky

    OK. I've been having this problem and have probably read every post there is on the net concerning it. But it doesn't seem to be only a Media Player problem. I was only running Media Player 0 when it happened to me. I found the solution somewhere, I can't remember where, but it worked for me and it was easy.
    Here's what you do:
    . Download BOTH ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe and enXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
    2. Connect the Zen Xtra to your PC.
    3. Run ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe. When the window comes up and says that your device is not connected DON'T do ANYTHING! Just leave it there.
    4. Now run ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
    5. It told me that I already had this version on my device did I still want to load it's I said yes and it went through the whole upgrade and now it works fine.
