IPad/iPhone file browser (iPhone Explorer) no longer working after iTunes update

iTunes freezes up on me a lot when I connect my iPad, so I prefer to add files to apps using a file browser like iPhone Explorer. However, after this most recent iTunes/Quicktime update, this and other programs like it don't work.
My computer is running Windows XP (yeah, I know it's old, but I'm not made of money!). I have an iPad 2 with the most recent iOS version installed.
Here's the error message iPhone Explorer gives me:
"iPhone Explorer is unable to load the app directories because the version of CoreFoundation.dll installed on your system doesn't work properly. This sucky DLL likely got on to your computer because of a recent update in the Safari web browser. Because this sucky DLL is shared between many other Apple programs, reverting back to the non-sucky version is more complicated than just uninstalling and reinstalling a couple programs. We recommend waiting a couple months for the next Safari update and hopefully Apple will have this stuff fixed then."
I don't have Safari installed on my computer. Just iTunes (and Quicktime).
As a result, you can't browse the app directories, so you can't add any files to apps. I tried uninstalling iTunes and replacing it with an older version, but it wouldn't open because it said the library file was created by a "newer version." I'm also having some trouble even getting iTunes to show the files in my apps (under iPad -> Apps -> scroll to bottom of the screen), but that might just be a symptom of my old iTunes-freezing problems.
I'm kind of stuck. Anyone else experience this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks!!

That's XP SP3 I hope? iPhone Explorer support is shown at the bottom of the page you linked above or at [email protected] and it's them you should be asking really.
You should be keeping iTunes and the iPad software always up to date for security reasons. If that breaks external software then they are the ones to ask.
If you are having problems with the iPad then try resetting it by clicking the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You wont lose anything.
If iTunes is acting up then try asking on that forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows

Browser cache ignore no longer works after windows update

Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did
this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many
places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no
longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a
URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files
off my disk.
This thread talks about the cache blocking trick:

We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

Headphones no longer work after ios8 update to Iphone 5

My plug in head phones no longer work after updating to IOS8. I thought it was the head phones and bought new ones - they don't work either. I updated my iPad and both head phones work. Phone is IPhone 5 - not due for an upgrade until December. Any suggestions?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Md5 reborned hasher 0.9.0 no longer works after firefox update to version 20 ,redesigned download box doesn't give option

md5 reborned hasher which has worked previously no longer works after update to FF version 20 . the redesigned download box doesn't give the option to use the hasher.

If you use this add-on a lot, you might want to switch back to the old style download manager until the add-on's author can bring it up to date. This thread describes how to make the switch: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955204 Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?]

Airport no longer working after latest updates

After my latest software updates, the Airport on my 13" Macbook is no longer working.
I can connect to networks and can get full signal from the wireless router in my home, yet none of my browsers can actually connect to the internet.
I've tried multiple wireless connections and none function properly. Suggestions?
I'm currently connected directly to my NETGEAR router via ethernet

Experiencing similar issue.
Wired works forever without any issue. Wireless (airport) works for a while (random 2-60 minutes, could be related to data volume) then gets stuck. At that point getting back to wire (without reseting the airport AP) solves it. Also, cycling the airport client (disable/enable) gets it to work for a few minutes... until it gets stuck again. Other devices (iPhone, iPod touch) connected to the same airport AP do get access while the macbook is stuck.
Thought this could be 11n related since the macbook is the only device running 11n. However, while wireless http/web access is stuck on the macbook one can still perform ftp connections (bit no file transfer as such), pings and/or access the time machine configuration (some of this seems to be randomly working) from that macbook. Not sure whether 11n handles short bursts and large bursts differently?
Finally, the behaviour is the same whether using Safari or Firefox and relaunching eitehr app does not solve it.
Clueless for now.

Standard PCI to PCI bridge no longer working after BIOS update

Hey everyone,
Before I get into the details of what is probably the most frustrating computer problem I have ever faced I would first like to say hello because this is my first post and I give you my system specs.
Windows 7 ultimate x64
GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) MOBO
2x 120GB Mushkin SSD @3.5gbps Raid 0
AMD Phenom II x4 @2.2 GHZ (Old processor that I replaced)
AMD Phenom II 1090T x6 @ 3.2GHZ (New processor that replaced the Phenom x4)
MSI Cyclone GTX 550 TI OC (Nvidia)
8 Gigs 800mhz DDR2 RAM (Computer Bay)
I have had a GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) board for several years now and have never had any problems. I recently bought a brand new AMD phenom II x6 1090T processor because it was listed as being supported by my board. The BIOS version that I had installed before purchasing this processor (version F5) was unable to recognize my new processor and boot so I had to update to the latest version (version F7b). After flashing my BIOS with the new version I was able to boot and my computer recognized my processor with the correct name and clock speeds. Unfortunately it now no longer recognizes one of my standard PCI to PCI bridges. Of the two standard PCI to PCI bridges listed in device manager one of them has a yellow exclamation point and reads "error code 35 firmware does not contain enough info to configure this device". I have tried everything I can think of but just cant seem to get my processor and graphics card to work under the same BIOS version. I will now list every step I have taken;
1.) I have re-flashed several times between versions F5 and F7b but always get the same results
2.) I have used Driver cleaner in safe mode to wipe all drivers and then double checked programs and features to make sure nothing was still installed.
3.) I have installed all drivers for the board from Gigabytes website, although when I try to install the VGA driver i get an error saying that no device could be found that supports the driver.
4.) I once again wiped everything in safe mode and then found the latest chipset drivers for nvidia Nforce from NVidia's site but got the same results.
5.) I tried downloading the F7b BIOS from some random website just in case the file from Gigabyte was somehow broken but this did not change anything. (I know that's generally a bad idea but I am desperate)
6.) I uninstalled the problem standard PCI to PCI bridge in device manager and restarted my computer but got the same results.
7.) I tried installing my graphics card drivers from MSI but got an error saying that no supported hardware could be found.
8.) I tried installing a number of different versions of the Nvidia graphics card drivers for my series but kept getting that same error message
9.) I downloaded the Graphics card detector program that NVidia provides on their site but it told me that it could not detect my graphics card.
10.) I tried Flashing my BIOS to the F6 version for the rev 1.3 board but this turned out to be a huge mistake because my computer would no longer post after this and I had to use a FAT32 flash drive and the q-flash utility to bring it back to life.
11.) I checked over and over and over again that my BIOS settings were right and nothing was setup to only use on-board graphics.
12.) I tried downloading a driver that was supposedly for the PCI to PCI bridge but im fairly sure this was just a trojan because the install did not complete and I found tons of fun plugins installed afterwards (I reformatted shortly after this).
13.) I made sure that my new processor was plugged in and that my BIOS was version F7b and then completely wiped my hard drive and re-installed windows 7 ultimate x64 but got the same results.
14.) I made a bootable DOS flash drive and tried updating my Graphics card BIOS but found that I already have the latest version.
What I don't understand is that my graphics card works perfectly with BIOS version F5 and my processor works perfectly with BIOS version F7b but under no circumstance do they both work at the same time. It may be worth noting that with version F7b installed I am still able to use my graphics card ( my Monitor is plugged into it via DVI) It just gives me the error under device manager and I can not install any drivers.
If anyone out there can help me I will be insanely grateful and will refer to you from then on as the master of all things MSI. I'm at my wits end, If you need any further info just ask and I will provide.

Ah ok I was afraid you were going to say that. I will take this to gigabyte then but just so I know, This PCI to PCI bridge problem couldn't have anything to do with my MSI graphics card BIOS somehow not being compatible with the Gigabyte BIOS?
-Thank you!

Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
Both headset work with my phone.

FIXED!!!!
Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
1) Install an app called Pacifist
2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
3) Load your OSX Install DVD
4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
9) Reboot
10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

Personal Hotspot no longer working after iO6 update

Is anyone else having problems with the Hotspot after the update? I have updated my phone, and my hotspot is 100% non functional - I have 4S, on Verizon. I normally just connect using USB, but even though I turned hotspot "on", it does not show a connection. It does not show my phone as an option for WIFI on my laptop anymore now either.
Just wondering if there are any solutions? I rely on this for work, so I'm screwed come Monday. Wish I hadn't updated now, how frustrating. This is my first update since going iPhone, and I'm not impressed

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Mouse gesturing no longer works after recent update ?

Recently, after an update my magic mouse no longer functions using the swipe gestures...Anyone else with this issue?
tried to look at in in preferences bt no options there.

Helpful link from 95bulls. Here is the Apple link which deals with the more general problems one can have with an unresponding Mouse. Is the green power light working or blinking?
You don't say which update or give any details of the OS you use. Please try to find a moment to update your profile.

Send link function no longer works after last update (7.0.1). Has always worked till now. Outlook is set as default email (as before).

Send link function no longer working since update to 7.0.1. Always worked till now...I use Outlook as default mail client, and have not changed any settings since original setup. This is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated.

You can try running the combo updater over your install but you might need to re-install Lion. Both options should not erase your data but if you do the re-install of Lion it's recommended that you backup first as a precaution.
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) 1.91 GB

To re-install, boot into the Recovery drive and select to Reinstall OS X.
Hold down Command R when restarting to enter Recovery drive.
