ILok Stops Working After Leopard 10.5 Install

After years of trouble-free service, including after software upgrade and OS upgrades through 10.3.9, my iLok no longer functions correctly. It stopped working immediately after installing Leopard on my G4.
When I start the software requiring the iLok license, MachFive (a music sampler plug-in and stand-alone program), I get a message that software is missing and am directed to the Pace website where I can download the latest driver and install it.
I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest driver repeatedly but with no change. The iLok still doesn't work.
I checked it on the iLok website and the licenses are still properly installed on the dongle.
Other things I have tried:
I unplugged all other USB devices except the keyboard and mouse and intalled the iLok directly into the back of the G4. No change.
I upgraded the host software, Digital Performer, to DP6. No change.
I have reinstalled MachFive. No change.
I have tried opening both MachFive 1 and MachFive 2.01. Same result. No Change.
Has anyone heard of, or encountered this problem?
Does anyone have a suggestion or solution?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks very much,
Jon

Thanks so much for your very quick reply.
I am waiting for MOTU support to get back to me. We'll see what they have to say.
I have had extensive e-mail conversations with iLok support. They were very helpful in sorting out some other strange problems I was having, but when it comes to the problem of the license not loading, their perspective is that, if you have the latest driver, anything that doesn't work is not their responsibility. We've all seen this attitude before, of course.
Your perspective on MOTUs recommendations is interesting. I will look into it further. To their defense (and credit), I will say that the much-earlier version of DP4.6 appeared to load and work perfectly AFTER I upgraded to Leopard. I was impressed. I didn't work with it very long before upgrading to DP6, though. But, based on that, I did have high expectations that the upgrade would work fine. And the software, itself seems to be great. The only problem is the iLok.
Your information about dongle workarounds is also interesting and I will look into that subject further as well, as it might be my only solution in Leopard. I do not know if I am allowed a backup. We will see.
I do have an earlier system I can use, but I'd like to avoid moving backwards, if possible.
Again, thanks for the great info.

SugarCRM stops working after Leopard upgrade

My local copy of SugarCRM CE 4.5.1 was working in Tiger before I upgraded to Leopard last week.
After the upgrade, SugarCRM complains with the following message:
=====
Warning: mysqli_connect() \[function.mysqli-connect\]: (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock' (1) in /Users/orest/Sites/ruby/ruby.sugarcrm_from-backup-20080813/include/database/Mys qliManager.php on line 419

=====
A copy of PHPMyAdmin has not had any problems during the transition from Tiger to Leopard, nor have local copies of WordPress and Drupal.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm new to the subtleties of Apache/PHP/MySQL on Leopard, so please be gentle.
Thanks.

Thanks for the swift response.
I'm familiar with the socket location issues with MySQL on Mac OS X. My local copies of WordPress and PHPMyAdmin both work with their configurations pointing to the socket at /tmp/mysql.sock. These installations were working, along with SugarCRM, before the Leopard upgrade. Only SugarCRM has stopped working after the upgrade.
Is there something I misunderstand about your pointer?

Excel colors stopped working after MS Office 2007 installed

We use OLE services to create excel spreadsheets and color some of the data cells. For this we use class: I_OI_SPREADSHEET, method: SET_COLOR. The colors are set via an integer parameter but stopped working after we upgraded to MS Office 2007. Now all the cells are colorless. I've searched google, SDN and OSS Notes but can't find any explanation. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Boot keys stopped working after Leopard install

I have seen others having this problem in another thread but no answers, so thought I'd give it a go.
After reading these threads finally got Leopard to install and run okay. Many thanks all. But, along the way, my boot keys stopped working. It doesn't matter what I hold down, whether 'c' or 'cmd-opt-p-r' or 'shift' or any other key combination the machine just boots straight into Leopard.
I have tried resetting the PMU (or whatever it is these days) via the internal button in desperation but still no luck.
Anyone with any ideas?

Same problem here, so I'll pull this post up. No key works.
I always have to go to the Start Drive (or whatever it's called in english) in Preferences Panes and choose the partition I wish to start directly in OSX or Windows for booting back to OSX. This is very annoying. Alt key won't show up any possible boot disk although their both internal drives.
If someone would kindly post any ideas how to change that, would be great. I've done a fresh install, with a Time Machine recovery, but this didn't seem to help.
EDIT:
I found another subjet here from november '07:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1224639
it seems the new Apple Keyboard is the origin of the Problem on iMac Core Duo. Apple techs said that a new firmeware should be coming before the end of 2007 (but it's february 2008 now ?!?). Any other ideas how to get this work ? I'll write on Aplpe feedback page for sure. Maybe the other boot keys aren't working because of this keyboard too.

Airport disk just stopped working after Leopard install

My airport disk worked perfectly in Tiger. After installing Leopard i can see airport disks in the finder but when i try to see contents the system hangs up for a few seconds and then i get a message "can't connect to disk" or something similar. I tried reinstalling airport software from cd, upgrading firmware of airport extreme, deleting keys from keychain but still don't work. Any experience?
Thanks

Hi,
This could be related to an authentication issue,could you try to change the authentication of the disk to "With a disk password" or "With base station password" on the disk pane of the airport utility (into the file sharing tab)?

Macbook Pro Audio line in stopped working after Leopard install

Anyone know what's up with this? Since I installed Leopard (did an erase and install) my audio line in port isn't working although my built-in microphone is. Ideas? I haven't found a solution so far from my searches.

I also have this problem but with a slightly different twist..
I was using my plantronics (old ms gamevoice headset) with 10.5.2 and it worked, then installed the m-Audio Firewire Audiophile beta drivers and neither the audio-in or the m-audio audiophile line-in cause any VU-meter response (nor input) whereas the standard inbuilt microphone does.
After uninstalling the m-audio drivers the situation is still the same.
Oddly - if I plug in the headphones into the line-in (rather than microphone) then speak into them I actually get input audio (and VU-meter response) through the MBP's audio-in.
So the story about no power is used (hence the headphones create enough to register the sound) sounds about true... very annoying as I thought my old headset had died and went out and bought a new one.. that still doesn't explain the audiophile input issues..
Now I fully expect both companies to point fingers at each other.. I don't care - just get it fixed please.

HP Photosmart 8450 (8400 series) stops working after Leopard Install

I upgraded my MAC Pro and iMac to Leopard and now my HP Photosmart 8450 printer will not work with either one. As other people have pointed out, the driver is built into Leopard, so not clear how to fix this or if there's a patch...any thoughts? Forget about HP support, they want to charge a fortune for telephone support. - Alec

How won't it work? Are you able to add the printer? Have you taken any troubleshooting steps, such as resetting the print system and then re-adding the printer. Were the HP Leopard drivers installed when you upgraded?

E71 GPS Stopped Working After 3.03 (10wk11) Instal...

Had I known attempting this Map update would blow out my GPS, I wouldn't have done it.
My current software version in my Straight Talk E71 is 500.21.009. I am a Mac user.
I downloaded this file in hopes of updating my GPS Map software: nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis
I saved that file on my mem card and installed the 3.03 maps onto my E71 using Nokia Multimedia Transfer v1.4.2 for Snow Leopard. I did this over Bluetooth. I power cycled and I cannot use my GPS with full 3G bars. It cannot find "My Position" after driving around town with my E71 searching for hours. I see a red dot in the middle of the screen (now dark screen since it's dark here).
When I go to GPS data on the E71, I see "Searching for GPS satellites", "Calculating GPS data".
When I look at the Satellite Status, I see mostly black bars showing numbers 5, 2, 12, 25, 26 (not sure what this means).
My Positioning Methods/Settings show: Assisted GPS & Integrated GPS checked.
My Positioning Server Access Point show: Tracfone Internet
My Positioning Server Address show: supl.nokia.com
I have also attempted to update my US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader tool only to have it not complete the download. It freezes or crash every time. When it crashes and I force quit, once I restart, I will see a crash log.
I want to also mention that the first time I tried updating the US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader, I believe my maps were deleted.
I have also deleted my CITIES folder and qf file from my memory card, disconnected from Bluetooth, ran Ovi Maps and saw a message that said something was downloading.
I reconnected via Bluetooth then attempted to update maps yet again in the Nokia Map Loader. It now just sits showing "Looking for map data on your phone".
This has been an over 48 hr ordeal.
What is the fix for at least getting my GPS to work again?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
Update:
Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card. I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files". It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card. Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error. Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it. Hopefully it will complete this time.
Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

Pavillion TouchSmart touch stopped working after HP Photosmart Printer Installed

I bought a new HP Paviliion TouchSmart 23-h056 All-In-One and the touch screen worked just fine. I then installed a HP Photosmart 7520 All-In-One printer/scanner/copier and the mouse pointer works on the screen, but the touch on the monitor no longer works. The system came pre-installed with Windows 8.1. Please help!!!

Cselas1962, welcome to the forum.
Here is the Win 8.1 driver for the printer. I suggest checking to see if the driver that is installed is the same or newer. If the one in the link is newer, you should install it to see if that helps. It could be that there is a driver conflict with the driver for the Touch screen.

My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?

My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
Please help!

That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft, File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS X

WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS.
MB used as email and surfing tool when on vacation. Worked fine for months. Installed the latest security patch (update) and WiFi quit working. Two days later (still on vacation) WiFi started working again and worked fine for the next 2 days.
Came home and formatted and reinstalled 10.8.5 and all was fine again. We are selling the MacBook and setup new user, everything worked fine.
The update came up again so I decided to install it and WiFi instantly stopped working after the restart.
Does anybody have any idea what is happening.
Thanks

Not really, although WiFi has been a longstanding problem for lots of people. I fix for some breaks others.
However, if you are trying to sell it, you need to revert it back to the OS that shipped with it. You cannot sell your copy of Mountain Lion with the Mac. It is only licensed to you.
You also need to include the system disks that came with the Mac. If it came with Leopard (10.5), and you have a Snow Leopard (10.6) disk, you can install that if you provide that disk also.

Hi Eric, it is Safari but I thunk I've solved it by dragging the autofill into the safari toolbar and clicking on it when I want to use the fearture. Nothing else worked. this OS is a crock as far as I am concerned.
