I upgraded my software recently and the instant messages no longer works

I upgraded my Imac a few weeks ago. Everything works except the Instant Messages. Is there a bug?

Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.
Video Player - Divx
Video Player – Flip4Mac

I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works! Please help :)

I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
what else can I try to save her? I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID, but the iPod still insists on my old ID, and the old password no longer works, so I do I get the old ID to vanish and be able to use the new ID?

Instant Messaging no longer works for me..why?

Instant Message came pre-loaded on my iPad 2 when purchased over 2 years ago. Always worked. Ever since downloading IOS7 and related fix-packs, no longer works. Ive gone to Settings and what I see does NOT match the directions apple.support. What is going on? Do I need a reloaded app from the Appke Store? If so, which one? Maybe I need an appt with my local apple store for a look-see. Yes, I've shut the iPad down altogether and brought it back up but it still is not working. So annoying,

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

IPhone 5 won't start or charge or turn on and was not dropped recently and the power button has never worked

My iPhone 5 was not dropped recently however I went to use it and the screen was black, I plugged it in and nothing happened. When you call it it goes right to voicemail. The power button on it has never worked it always turns on when plugged in... Any ideas?

Are you certain that the battery has not run out? Have you kept it plugged into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes to see if it is just needing to be charged?
If it does not come on after being plugged in for 30 minutes or so, then without a functional Power button you cannot reset it, so you are going to have to try to put it into Recovery mode and restore it:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You may not even be able to do this since you cannot proactively turn it off, but you can try.
Cheers,

My BBM and BB Instant messaging all not working on my BB Torch 9800 Even with my Data Plan Activated!

BB App World: 3.1.1.21
Problem: I bought my Torch 9800 on a Blackberry Retailed outlet and inserted my Old Simcard on it . I enrolled on a BB data plan from my carrier (GLOBE's BB Social ON: pls refer from this link to understand better regarding my Carrier's Data plan ) I can access only on my Facebook,My space and Twitter Apps. All other such as BBM, YM,WM,AOL ang GoogleTalk are not working. For BBM: I tried to add a contact as well as my frend tried to add me but i never received the invitation nor did my friend (my friend also has the same Carrier as mine and enrolled on the same package using his BB Bold 9000 OS 5 with BBM 6.1.0.71),another friend also tried to send me BBM invite but never received it. When I tried to log-in on my YM app,it says "service not enabled for this handheld".. I tried to go to the Carrier Customer Service to help me with the settings or something and say that my account is already updated to their BB services and I have already the correct settings. I tried to delete and reinstall the apps..did countless hard resets on my phone..but still the same problem..Can Someone help me plz..

I'm sorry to say, but I'm having the EXACT same telecom, same plan, same problem. I wonder if the original poster was able to solve his problem. I still can't use my BBM, though the other apps work just fine. :/

IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes": I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range). help!

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

I can't load new itunes and the old itunes no longer works - why?

I have an I phone 4s, have had it little over a month and the charger is no longer working. Now I have to return it at my inconvenience and wait for a replacement. I am very disappointed considering it is Apple. Has anybody else had this problem?

I have an i phone 4s, I have had it just over a month. The charger is not working and it has to be returned. Very disappointed considering it is Apple I expected better and have never had this problem with any other phone. Now I have the inconvenience of having to return it and waiting for a replacement and in the meantime I'm without a phone. Has this happened to anyone else?

Wow, life is certainly tough for you.
S***t happens. That's why there's a warranty.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard?

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. I went ahead and backed up and found that my texts, phone calls and messages did not backup.

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. The most recent backup that showed was 3/3/12. I went ahead and backed up to that date and found that my texts, phone calls and messages are the part that did not backup.
Can anyone tell me 1) why my most recent backup did not show in ITunes, 2) why I could not backup using the Cloud (I tried this way first), 3) how I can get all the phone calls, messages and texts from 3/3/12 until today? Please help if you can...thanks!

I found the answer on:
transferring Txt messages from old phone to new iphone 4
It worked great!
