Is anyone else experiencing arbitrary loss of communication with peripherals (like back-up disk)

Is anyone else experiencing arbitrary loss of communication with peripherals (like back-up disk)? The problem on my iMac also seems to involve my HP 2355 printer which ghost-enlivens periodically and resets itself like it has lost power or communication with the computer. I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro. I couldn't figure out why the printer screen was lit up when no one was using the computer. The loss of communication with the back-up disk also happened on the Pro. Two different Apple models; two different computers; two different back-up systems; two different printers. So, I am thinking it is not limited to one computer or computer type or printer.

None of the issues you describe occur on my iPad in iOS 5.
To begin with, reset your iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons at the same time, until you see the Apple logo appear.

HT1476 has anyone else experienced unusually fast battery drainage with the iphone 5

My iphone 5 seems to need recharging by the late afternoon even though it is not being used that much, checking emails periodically and few phone calls. Location services is off, notifications are off. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same issues.

I've got the same poor battery life problem. I only get about 12hrs without having to charge it. And I use it the same as my iPhone 4. I read that a reboot after restoring from my iphone 4 backup might help. Time will tell, but i hope there's a software fix and not poor battery quality or something.

My iPhone 5 won't discover my iPad or any other devices via Bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this?

You haven't said which generation iPad you have, but this article might help you regardless:

I imagine Keynote Remote uses Audio/Video Remote Control Profile which should be available on both your iPhone and iPad.
I think you're saying that since you got the new iPhone 5, these two things occur:
1. Your iPhone cannot discover your iPad
2. Your iPad cannot discover your iPhone.
If that's true, when you turn on Bluetooth on each of the devices, you might see old devices listed that are no longer used. If you do, I suggest clicking the white arrow to the right of such devices and clicking "Forget this device".

Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

I think we need a lot more information.
Exactly what does the message say?
Exactly what files are you trying to open?
Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

I'm having issues with Time Machine since my upgrade to Mavericks, running at a snails pace. Is anyone else experiencing the same? WiFi is running fine, disabled all the Anti-Virus, still barely runs.

TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

"We are currently experiencing some issues, please try again later. If the problem persists, contact customer support" - is anyone else experiencing this and how can I resolve this issue?

I've been trying to download the photoshop free trial for the past three days but instead of installing a message saying "We are currently experiencing some issues, please try again later. If the problem persists, contact customer support" - is anyone else experiencing this and how can I resolve this issue?

try some steps such as changing browsers and turning off your firewall for downloads

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

Install it directly from Adobe. Ensure that you use the uninstaller before installing.

Has anyone else experienced the iOS going into recovery mode after the latest update?

I had a notification stating a update of iOS 6.1.1 was available. I started to install the software OTA. after about 10mins, my phone turned off, and when turned back on, showed a picture of a cable and the word iTunes.
I plugged it up to my computer which told me it was in recovery mode. its reinstalled the new software but I've lost everything. Photos, Videos, Apps, notes, Music, Messages.
I back it up regularly, but when i tried to restore the backed up file, Ive still lost a 80% of my photos, no videos have been readded, and all my Apps I have had to redownload from the App Store.
Needless to say, it's things like this that make me really wish I had re-upgraded to an Android!
Has anyone else experienced this issue with this update?

I am also experiencing the same problem, but strangely only with my iMac!
iPhone and iPad running iOS 7.0.6 working OK
MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.2 (and Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024MB) working OK
iMac running OSX 10.9.2 (and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB) working NOT OK
Not sure if this may be a problem with NVIDIA graphics after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2?
When I try to connect to AirPlay Display via my iMac, it says it's connected, but my TV goes into a full black screen mode. Despite it says it's connected to AirPlay display, I cannot actually change from Extend Desktop (my default) to Mirror iMac for example, as it doesn't allow to select it. Also, if I "open display preferences" I don't have any "Arrengement" tab as I have on my MacBook Air where it is working ok.
Thanks.

When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

What makes you so sure it isn't software?
The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

I just updated to iTunes 11. This version will not allow me to change info on any songs. Have always use "command i" with previous versions. Anyone else experiencing this problem? A solution?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while playing music in iTunes. It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes. It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
it started skipping again.

Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?
