I can't get anything to work properly in Beta 4.0.3 help?

Tabs are not working properly, when I open a Tab up I get blank screen and when I select a site from Bookmarks it loads on the first tab instead of the tab I opened up. and when I click the X to close the Tabs I opened it won't close. and everything else ceases to work. I can't open Feedback to submit feedback about this bug, nor can I access Add-Ons to see whats Enabled and what's not.
I should of stuck with Beta 4.0.2 instead of upgrading to Beta 4.0.3 because everything was working fine then until this new update destroyed Firefox. I'm going to have to use another browser until this is fixed, because I can't use a browser like this. There's just too many bugs now. :/

That could be an add-on that is causing the problem, there were some changes to Firefox between beta 2 and 3 that would break some add-ons.
Start Firefox in [[safe mode]], in the dialog that pops up select the option to "Disable all add-ons" then click on "Make Changes and Restart".
Then in normal mode you should be able to access the add-ons manager and you can then check for updates to the add-ons. You can also re-enable them one at a time, re-starting Firefox each time to identify the add-on(s) that are not working. Also see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you. Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts?

iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts? This is what comes up.....

iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report. Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!

Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

Can't get X to work properly (ATI AIW 9800)

Hello,
I have a few problems. My first problem is this. The dpi was messed up when i first install, so i thought no big deal, I'll just go and configure the defaultserverargs setting in the startx script to "-dpi 75". This does not seem to work. Secondly,I can't get gnome to work as my default window manager. I put this line in my .xinitrc file in my home directory:
exec gnome-session
I also tried this:
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
My last problem is that when i try to install the ati fglrx drivers with the stock kernel arch package but whenever the fglrx module is called, it says that the module doesn't exist. One thing i might mension which might be of importance is that i compiled a custom kernel during install without SMP and preemtivity so i could use my rt2500 wireless card. Thanks in advance for the help
cheers,
-Lukas

sinisterguy: You're going to need to build your own kernel module, afaik you can't just symlink a module built for another kernel and expect it to work.
As root, run
abs
Once that's done (it'll check out a bunch of stuff from cvs), change to your normal user and either make a directory for the new package, or cd to some temp directory, then:
cp /var/abs/extra/modules/ati-drivers-arch/* .
vim PKGBUILD
then make the following changes:
pkgname=ati-drivers-arch
to
pkgname=ati-drivers-custom
(or whatever you want to call the package)
depends=('ati-drivers' 'kernel26')
to
depends=('ati-drivers')
source=(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
to
source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
(for some reason I can never get the source from the https address through makepkg.)
and
_kernel=2.6.15-ARCH
to
_kernel=`uname -r`
Save and quit, then run
makepkg
- this'll make you a brand new kernel module package that you can install with
pacman -A ati-drivers-custom-8.22.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
You'll need to update this package every update to the ati-drivers in the same way you originally built it.
If you need more information, ABS is a good place to look, as well as man makepkg.

HT201441 i have bought a second hand iphone 4s which is stilllinked to previous owners itunes ID.I cant get his details off him as he has his money and is blanking me. I can't get anything on the phone after setting up the language.HELP!!

I cannot activatea second hand iphone 4s as i don't have previous owners itunes ID. I can't get anything on the phone after setting the language as its asking for activation. Please can anyone help ???? Ideally i would like to get it back to factory settings and start afresh but right now i would settle for anything. Should say i only have the phone and charger, no box so no details

Unfortunately, the only one who can help is the previous owner. Otherwise you will not be able to activate and use the phone. Apple can't/won't help you with this either.

Can't get netcfg to work properly

I'm currently trying to setup my netcfg. I can connect wirelessly without any problems by the following process:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "networkid"
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
However, when I follow the guides on wiki to get it started up, I get the following errors when i use the
netcfg wpa_suppl

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get my netcfg to work properly so I can set up my wireless to where it connects automatically instead of having to put in commands everytime I log in. Thanks!

If you truly must use wpa-config, make sure there are no directives in the config file outside your network block. Netcfg cannot use wpa_supplicant files that do, and it prints a similar error message if I remember correctly. Also, you may still need to specify your ESSID in the profile, as stated above.
But! Consider just using "SECURITY='wpa'" or "SECURITY='wpa-configsection'" instead of "SECURITY='wpa-config'" Netcfg will generate a wpa_supplicant config file and use wpa_supplicant to manage the connection. Netcfg comes with example syntax for it, and it's much simpler.

Can't get HAL to work properly

Hello everybody! This is the first distro I've ever tried which gives you substantial control over the installation process, and I like that a lot, but there are some things I probably didn't manage to do well. One of those is getting HAL to work as I tell it to via policies. I need for it to recognize my italian keyboard layout and automount ntfs partitions. I followed the instructions on the wiki, but I probably messed up, so can somebody briefly sum up the steps I need to make HAL do what I need?

Just correcting this so that any beginners who stumble on this wont get confused/misguided

i love being in-depth explaining everything so i'm sorry if i couldn't make it as breif as you wanted it to be
as root or sudo:
pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu
pacman -Sy hal dbus fam
nano /etc/rc.conf
In DAEMONS it should look like this (sort of:)
DAEMONS=(!syslog-ng !netfs !crond network fam hal dbus alsa gdm)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond network fam dbus hal alsa )
but basically it depends on what services you want to run.
starting gdm in inittab is better.
Now you can turn hal on 2 different ways. Reboot or just turn on. To turn on without reboot:
/etc/hal restart
/etc/rc.d/hal start
(You should probably turn on dbus too)
/etc/dbus restart
(And fam)
/etc/fam restart
everything is /etc/rc.d/daemonname start
Now after you do all that do this as root (log in AS root because it will be easier for me to tell you what exactly you need to do)
Xorg -configure
Now I forget off the top of my head what the exact location is so if it says No such file or directory in the first command, do the second one:
cp -L -vi /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
No luck? Try this:
cp -L -vi /home/root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There is no /home/root
Now you can install gdm and X and all that:
pacman -Sy gdm
Replace gnome with lxde or xfce4 or whatever
pacman -Sy gnome
Now fonts:
pacman -Sy ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ttf-ms-fonts ttf-liberation
Turn on ntfs in DAEMONS though as I have mine off. Take the exclamation point out.
Hope that works!
I hope you meant netfs or nfsd here. ntfs-3g doesn't need a daemon AFAIK

Can't get Firefox to work properly behind corporate proxy

I am forced to use Firefox behind our corporate proxy and have to continually make exceptions just to get to sites, but even this doesn't always work. I don't know much about certificates, but I know certificates are issued by our organization for each user and device. I've tried exporting the personal certificate from IE and importing it into Firefox without success (couldn't export certificate completely and in correct format for Firefox) and am not sure if I'm even taking the right approach. IE is our only approved browser and I'm sure part of the reason is that proxy settings can be forced via group policy. I've tried adding a certificate exception to Firefox for our proxy, but Firefox is "Unable to obtain identification for this site". Is there any way to get Firefox to function correctly in this environment or somehow get Firefox to work through IE?

I think most proxies work the same way: they generate a fake certificate for the website and present that to your browser so they can decrypt and inspect the traffic between you and the site. It's a hassle having to make exceptions for the individual fake certificates -- it's more efficient to recognize the certificate the proxy uses to ''sign'' the fake certificates as a valid certificate authority.
The trick is identifying that certificate. It might be easiest to do from IE or Chrome, since both use the Windows certificate store (Firefox uses its own). By inspecting the certificate for a secure site and the certificate used to sign it, you may be able to identify and export that certificate (DER or .cer format).
In Firefox, you would import that into the Authorities section of the Certificates dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab > "View Certificates" button > Authorities mini-tab > "Import..." button
Of course, it probably is safest to verify with your IT that you've found and exported the correct certificate before importing it into Firefox.

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done but when I unplugged it from my computer the ipad has the apple logo and a long hollow oval under the logo and I can't get anything to work. Any suggestions?

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

Can't get Apple TV working properly (no airplay)

I have cable broadband via Ethernet into my iMac. I've set up wifi sending out from the iMac and have iPad, iPhone and now apple tv all online via wifi. Seems fine. I can see and play stuff from my iMac on Apple tv (and all the rest seems fine YouTube, iTunes store etc). I am definitely all up to date with software. Now heres the prob. I can't get airplay working and (unrelated but similarly) my remote app (on iPhone) can't find apple tv anymore?! I've restarted everything, no luck. So took apple tv to work and got everything working fine. Airplay worked, remote app worked. So WHAT is the problem at home? Why can't I get airplay working at home? What is wrong with my network and wifi etc? There are no firewalls.

You will need to see what the problem is with your local network. More details would help. Try calling apple support, ISP etc. as well

Artist spent alot and can not get anything to work

I thought it would be strait forward; but it is more like a backwards tango!
OK, I can't get the media once down loaded from my cam to load into final cut.
I have a JVC GZ-HD7U that records in Mpeg2 and when I down load from the cam to my desk it reads Mov00?.TOD. When I import this to Final it reads " unknown file format ( I may be off on the wordage;I am bit madddd at the moment)
Maybe there is some one out there using the same set up as me? What would be cool, is you have a easy answer.
My new MacBookpro has Quicktime and Jvc I did their thing to this plus Final cut offered a down load of it. You would think after all this and how much I have spent I could take over the world with this program; but oh no, I even tried ctrl clicking the media I downloaded in Quicktime (the only place I could view it but do nothing with it) and saved it as a QT movie.
Then after converting it to quick time media; but no where near the 3.6 GB I downloaded, Did it load into final cut. Then once there no image, nothing, zip, nota, ssooooo confused.!!!
I have watched the dvd tutorial and read the pdf etc. Still lost
If any one can help or direct me in there right direction, I would be relatively thank for a long time!!
Why doesn't final cut load and read TOD or work with QT from it. What a waist. I am not any where near Rich and could return this all now due to the way I feel and i am in my 30 day period with it all.....a darn shame
Help

Unfortunately, Ian is correct. Your options at this point are
1) return the camera for a tape-based one (best option if you can)
2) search the discussions at length to see if anyone else has found a workaround
3) buy iLife 08 and use iMovie to import your clips, then transfer them from iMovie to FCE. iMovie 08 has the ability to capture off card-based cameras.
