IPad zoom accessibility feature doesn't work anymore
For years I have been using the zoom accessibility feature on my 1st generation iPad.
Two days ago, the zoom stopped working, i.e. it doesn't zoom to 200% but only to circa 110%.
I reinstalled the software and even upgraded to iOS 5.1.1. to solve the problem, but had no success.
Any hints much appreciated.
Bump...does anyone have any ideas?

There is a feature on the Walt Disney World website to search for available times at restaurants. The information can be entered but after clicking on "Search for a table" the website never returns any information.

I discovered the problem that the upper top right button (usually used to mute) does not send my device to standby anymore when being pressed longer than 3 seconds.
Together with this problem I discovered something that is also working different than before.
When I press the keyboard lock button (upper top left button) the lock now gets activated directly and
the screen turns black. Before this update took place the owner details were showing up when pressing this button and the screen turns dark after the defined time to go off.
The owner details are added correctly and show up when going to properties-owner.
This is working as designed with the new upgraded operating system you installed. There is not an option to change it back, only to downgrade your operating system back to the version you had installed previously.
If you want to lock the screen, you will need to set a password on the device.

I have 3 laptops. On 2 of them I upgraded to the new version of Firefox recently when I was prompted to do so. Both of those laptops now have trouble with chat . My 3rd laptop I have not upgraded to latest version and the chat still works. Either fix this or I have to use a different browser. I need to chat for my work. I can't make money without chat feature!!!
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps with ios7
Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

Safari doesn't work anymore on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?
Repeated to another user:
I have had the same issue since the release of iOS7. I even went as far as a factory reset of my iPad 2 and did not restore from any backup. Safari still will not load any pages. It hangs then stops.
I have tried the steps above so please don't repeat them. I refuse to believe I am the only person on the planet that cannot get a resolution for this?
Please, somebody, help me fix this. It's extremely annoying that the default browser cannot be change yet will not work.

Link to a file doesn't work anymore
I repeteadly made this experience: I link some text to a file and upload it via .mac. However, when I change the file, the link doesn't work anymore. Even if I set up the whole thing again and upload it, it doesn't work.
Seems like I get one chance per link and that's it.
Does anyone know how to get the link working again?
Message was edited by: Christian StahlI just started using iWeb last night for the first time and ran into the same (or similar) problem. I did it kind of backwards but that shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. I also came across another problem with text which was not supposed to be a hyperlink but ended up being one and one I couldn't turn off.
I created a text field, typed in some text, then made the text an active hyperlink and attached the link to a file. That first one worked OK. Then I copied and pasted that text field about ten times, changed the text slightly and set each text field to another different file link. I then published and tried the links using Safari. The first few links worked fine and the files were automatically downloaded to my downloads folder. However, clicking on the last few links downloaded files from the other previous text links instead of the ones they were supposed to even though the inspector shows the correct files. I even tried doing new text fields and new links but they still don't work correctly.
The other problem is that I created some more text fields to be used as descriptions for the file downloads by copying a hyperlinked text field. I realized after the copies were made and I had spent some time changing the text that these text fields carried over the linked hypertext attribute. Since I didn't want to type everything out again from scratch, I just turned off the hypertext link attribute in the inspector. However, after I saved the web site and then published the site, I discovered that the text was still linked to a file download. I went back into iWeb and that hypertext checkbox was now checked. I turned it off several times but every time I publish, it turns it back on by itself.
I am going to create the entire page over again from scratch and try the method of dragging files from the finder to initially create the link (got that from the help file).
Also it would be nice to have better/more file download features in iWeb such as being able to access a file picker where the web user could select files s/he wanted to download instead of requiring one button per file. Also, some way to automatically compress into one download a selection of several files.

Pinching in Safari doesn't work anymore..
In ML it was possible to pinch and get an overview of your tabs.
As I discovered recently this doesn't work anymore.
Pinching to get tab overview doesn''t work anymore and pinching to zoom in/out either.
Any solutions or thoughts on this issue? Perhaps involving the recent Safari update in ML?Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Tethering doesn´t work anymore since I updated to IOS 7.1
Since I updated to IOS 7.1 the tethering function doesn´t work anymore on my Iphone 4.
I have recently purchased an IPAD Mini, as the iphone has become so incredibly slow after update to IOS 7.0. I am travelling a lot and use the tethering function to access the internet. And now, after update to IOS 7.1 I can´t even use my IPAD anymore when travelling.
I must say, enough is enough. My patience is at it´s end. A professional company doesn´t work like this !
Apple, please react and get this problem solved.

RichardWhat Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you

Since installation of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) the latest version of Sony Image Data Converter (Ver. 4.6) doesn't work anymore. How can I solve this problem?
HI,
I have seen this with AIM Logins that use the SSL Server and not the original server that was non SSL
Since iChat 6 the server name has also changed as has the Login port (Although we were suggesting using the port 443).
The AIM SSL server "Falls Over" more frequently than the other server.
Also iChat/Messages reconnects automatically to the NON SSL server but not to the SSL one (It is a security risk)
You had to manually Log out by Untick "Enable this Account" then Log back in again.
I have not seen this happen in Jabber accounts but I don't use my computer the same way you do.
Jabber Servers tend to either use SSL or Not and can rarely login if you change to not using SLL.
It also seems a bit strange that Disabling the account, as you phrase it, and re-enabling does not work.
For Googletalk Logins try logging out then changing the port to 443 (Googletalk allows this port as well as 5223)
Also check the Keychain (Applications/Utilities > Keychain Access) and see if there is an issue with any Gmail or Googletalk certificate.

Su doesn't work anymore but sudo works
Hi all,
I normally use my standard user account but when I'm installing with macports I routinely "su" into root to do things.
Today I went on my machine and noticed that "su" wouldn't work. Before anyone decides to tell me that I don't need to use "su", I realize that but I use it for my own purposes.
From the system log I am seeing this each time "su" fails:
su[1376]: pam_authenticate: Permission denied
What is interesting is that doing a "sudo su" works, and I'm able to do all of my admin duties that way.
I have a feeling something messed up my bash profile but not totally sure. Has anyone else run into this issue?Hi all,
Thanks for the help on this issue.
I'll clarify: I'm using this install as a server and this is why I have 2 admin accounts on it. The original account is my own; the one I created when I first installed OS X. I then enabled System Admin (root) so that is the other admin account. After installing MacPorts I have been running the system as a multi-user webserver. I occasionally log in as root to do maintenance and upgrades. I have found that it's easier to use the SysAdmin account in certain situations because of permissions issues and ease of installing upgrades.
I'll often log in under my username and then su to root. Recently (yesterday) I noticed that "su" didn't work anymore when I used my normal username.
There are sometimes that I will log onto the machine as System Admin and usually via the terminal (console) I can log in as any of the other accounts by doing
su <username>
this also doesn't work anymore. I get the error:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
I have two servers set up this way. One works the way it should, the other one has this problem. The only difference I can see is in roots bash profile but I'm not sure why they are different on each machine.
Also when logged in as System Admin, I should be able to turn off "allow user to administer computer" on my regular account but it's grayed out. On the other similarly configured machine, under the same conditions, I can. I'm not sure why I can do it on one and not the other.
I've tried turning off enable root via Directory Utility but that didn't fix the issue. -
Time Machine Just Doesn't Work Anymore
I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.
Marcia,
Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if any of this helps.
Cheers!
