Home sharing photo problems since last update
Since the last apple tv update, can not see most home sharing pictures. I only get a white or black screen. What did you guys do, it worked fine before.
Will there be a new update issued to fix this one?

Home sharing not working since last update
Just updated my Apple TV3 to the lastes software and now the home sharing is constantly dropping. i can watch for a few seconds and then the entire network shutsdown and i have to restart it.
Anyone else has the same problem?A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port

Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay

Bonjour/AirPlay
Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them. -
Home sharing not responding after last update in ATV2 and 3
I used to watch my itunes library content with home sharing in my ATV's with no problem, listen music, watch movies, etc, but since last ATV update I can't access to my Itunes library (home sharing), I followed and read twice your troubleshooting articles, and nothing happened. I'm in the same wifi, same Apple ID in Itunes, ATV's and in my iphone Remote app, I can use the airplay with no issues, but not directly from the ATV home sharing, message in the ATV: "Could not connect to (my library), Make sure, blah blah blah...". I have that latest versions of itunes, ATV, Iphone IOS, etc, I read all your blogs and nothing seem to be working. Hope anybody can have some answers. I try in both ATV2 and 3 with same results.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you tried restarting the router. -
This may be general, but I don't have a lot to go on. Also, two issues may or may not be related.
1) Since the last update, which included a firmware update, when I reboot my Mac my net apps (Adium, Firefox, etc) always get taken out of default, and I have to make them default again when I first load them. This is annoying... anyone know how to make this stop?
2) Not sure when this started to happen, so it may have been associated with the update, but my HP Laserjet 3055 will no longer scan documents. Printing, fax, etc., all work. Just can't scan anymore. In fact, in HP Director I can't even get the "Fax" button to activate (it's grayed out now).
Any thoughts are appreciated.Hi, with regards to #2, I had the same problem after the latest update and the following cured it.
Use the HP uninstaller and delete all HP files, empty trash and restart. Then download and install all needed HP software/files and install. Restart and all should be ok.
Good luck with #1 -
clip sequence and timing won't save at the desired position, having to go through the movie again and again re-timing it, just wont remain in place to produce desired imovie, worthless if nothing will set as you wish. An error after last update.
Hi there,
I would suggest you do a reload of the software after a full backup, I would suggest you load using desktop manager and see if it gets back to normal. Also check if the settings have not changed especially for location/GPS services which can be demanding on power. -
Problems since last update of iTunes 6.0.5.20
I was having trouble with my 60 gb video ipod, so updated both ipod and iTunes to the latest version over the weekend. I had to go to get my ipod restored at the Apple store on Monday, and when I tried to re-load my songs on to the ipod (over 7500), it took over 18 hours and then was not successful. So I decided to manually import songs and playlists and got it back up to about 5000 songs (could have gone further, but was afraid to press my luck). I kept looking at task manager when it was synching, and noticed it was consistently at over 50% of CPU. I'm not sure if this was happening before the update.
This morning, everytime I try to access the Music store, it hangs up itunes. I can get there successfully from the new 'mini-store' that's part of the latest version, but when I hit the 'home' icon, it hangs again.
Anyone else having similar problems, so I can figure out if it's my computer or the latest version, or some problem this morning with the Music Store?
Windows XP
Windows XPI think I have the answer.
I was experiencing the exact same problem. I tried lots of different things but what I think works is to exclude your iTunes folder from Spotlight. Open the System Preference for Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, and then drag your iTunes folder (in your user/Music folder) into that window pane. In fact, I think it is faster when I am fixing tags!
Let me know if it works for you too.

No Video or Screen sharing in iChat since last update.
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro 15.4" laptop.
When I first started up, iChat worked beautifully. But after I installed the series of updates, I chat will not send or receive video, and will not allow screen sharing. It's telling me that there's no response from whoever I am trying to connect with. I've tried with three other Mac users, and no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for this?Did you install http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/compatibilityupd ateforquicktime.html

Preview & Ipoto problems since last update
Last night, I was offered and installed the following updates;
2010-04-04 22:26:01 +0100: Installed "AirPort Base Station Update 2010-001" (5.5.1)
2010-04-04 22:27:25 +0100: Installed "Security Update 2010-002" (1.0)
2010-04-04 22:28:20 +0100: Installed "iTunes" (9.1)
There was also a 4th "QuickTime" update, but during the installation process it complained that the package could not be verified, and failed to install. After that, anything which uses quicktime would immediately fail due to missing libraries. So this morning I did a "check for updates" and redownloaded it and it installed OK;
2010-04-05 06:40:01 +0100: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6.6)
However, now I get the issue that Preview won't open when working on Photo files (Nikon .NEF), and Iphoto has just told me that it can't import 5 out of 10 Jpegs (but could when dragged in individually) and when I tried to import 93 .NEFs, it did it Ok, but complained that it couldn't import 186 files (who knows what these were...)
Is it just me or is this update flawed? Any suggestions on returning to normality?For which phone model?
Make sure that the ringtones are stored in the internal memory space in the ringtones folder there. -
I am constantly getting the number 0 typed into everything I do.. txt, search, passwords... I can't stop it interferring with everything.. even when i dial a number! I have backed up the phone to my pc.. did a swipe to clear the system which made no difference and now the BB link wont recognise my phone to sync the data back onto the phone!!! Not a happy chick! can anyone help please???

Problems while roaming since last update of an iPhone 5
Since last update the phone loses signal intermittently while a regular phone in the same network/account has a steady, strong signal. I've reset network settings and since it didn't work I did a hard reset, erasing and restoring the phone. The problem persists
Hey Manuel Flores-Arce,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone is having a service issue while roaming. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Address Book repetitive crashes since last updates ?
Hello,
I do apologize for the length of this post but I don't know how to shorten it without removing some details useful to understand the problem encountered.
My sister has got an intel iMac with Tiger 10.4.10 and since last updates (10.4.9 and/or 10.4.10) she cannot use AB more than some seconds. It crashes consistently everytime it is open, even if no other action is done. There are also problems with iChat, iCal, Safari and Mail (but less than with AB).
When I visited her recently, I had a look to the console (even though I'm far from being an expert myself but I tried to find a track before asking here).
I noticed that for both crashes (Safari and AB), there was this mention :
quote
+CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:+
+ /Users/nnnnn/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData/.info+
+ The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.+
+Error in createMutableDictionaryValue:1012 for property 'URLs' 'XML parser error:+
+ Unexpected character = at line 1+
+Old-style plist parser error:+
+ Unexpected character '0x3d' at line 1+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: Exited process crashed+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Exited process.crash.log+
unquote
because of the "+not proper UTF8+" I tried to change it in AB preferences/vCard/encodage in "+proper UTF8+" and because of "+Old-style plist parser: error Unexpected character+" I tried to check and validate fonts of Fontbook. Unsuccessfully.
Back home, I searched on the web and read somewhere that there could be a problem with the "catalog" that could only be repaired by DiskUtility from the install disk. That was done today but the "*hard disk seems to be OK*" and AB crashed as usual when open.
there were two crash reports, one for AB and one for ABsync (? curious since she has no .mac account and does not sync her mobile phone).
The AB crashlog(1) finishes so :
quote
+Thread 3 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0b54 __memcpy + 948 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and the ABSync crashlog(2) :
quote
+Thread 0 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0af6 __memcpy + 854 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and finally when I asked her for a screenshot of her ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, I was surprised (comparing with my folder) to find she has three ABPerson.skIndexInverted files (I have only one) the second file is ABPerson.skIndexInverted.218 and the third ABPerson.skIndexInverted.286.
I suppose two are toomuch but which ones have to be delete ...
Sorry for this (too) long post and hope the light will come from some reader better educated in hard and softwares than us.
(1) (2) I have a longer version of these crashlogs but this post is already very long and I'll post them only on request (if needed)!Hello Josy.
After fixing the filesystem issues, which you say you’ve already done, try re-creating the Address Book files that may have become corrupt, one at a time, as follows — or restore them from a backup if you have one:
1. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. Make a backup copy of this folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your contacts are stored.
3. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Move com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist (if it exists) out of there (e.g. to the Desktop). Check whether the problem is fixed.
4. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Caches/ and move the Address Book and com.apple.AddressBook folders to the Trash (there is no need to empty the Trash yet). Check whether the problem is fixed.
5. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Check whether the problem is fixed.
6. If Address Book keeps crashing, try again trashing both AddressBook.data and any ABPerson.skIndex files that may have been re-created, then rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data.
7. If Address Book keeps crashing, try moving the entire AddressBook folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/.
The above procedure may introduce synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices, so be sure to back up your Address Book data now if the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there. -

You can always revert your system to how it was 2 days ago by reinstalling from your Time Machine Backup. Otherwise I would be having a read through the Yahoo Troubleshooting forums for people who may have a similar problem.
