Kdm stopped working after last kdebase-workspace update

The problem is that when I try to log in via kdm screen gets black and I'm returned to kdm.
It's caused by ConsoleKit (anyway, why should I have to use HAL and ConsoleKit?!), because after rebuilding kdebase-workspace without consolekit it works agian. Anyway, should I add this as a bug report?
Xorg.0.log seems fine, but the end is little bit different than usually.
Normal Xorg.0.log:

As Jan de Groot (JGC) comments on http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12702
the permissions and groups for /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper should show up like this:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root dbus 46056 2008-11-28 20:35 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
I changed mine and now kdm works fine:
# chown root:dbus /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
# chmod u+s /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
enjoy free web..... :)

IPhone 5S home button stopped working after iOS 8.3 update

My home button stopped working after I updated it to the iOS 8.3. My finger print can still unlock the phone but the home button won't work.

What you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local apple retail store and have the device evaluated.

My Logitech K750 numeric keypad stopped working after last update-numbers only

After the last Mountain Lion update, the number on my numeric keypad will not function. They work for my login, but then become inactive. I have tested the system with an Apple keypad, same thing! What happened? Is there a keyboard setting that needs to be reset?

Dianefromblaine,
Thank you. My K750 number pad stopped working on my iMac. The keyboard and number pad 'do' work on a different Mac, so I suspect it is some setting on the iMac. I did a Safe Mode start, reset the SMC, and repaired the disk permissions. The dongle was plugged into an USB Hub. It is now plugged into the iMac USB port. The keyboard has a 90% charge, but still does not work. Then suddenly it started working again, but stopped after about one month.
I found your "Accessibility>Mouse and Trackpad" suggestion and deselected "Enable Mouse Keys". My number pad works again.
Thanks.

Screen sharing stopped working after last update

Hello all,
I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot,
Luis

Problem solved!
After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

Command line option "-save-to-folder" stopped working after last update: Any workaround?

Running FF on Linux, I was using the -save-to-folder option at CLI to write a copy of the webpage to file with JS content rendered. Worked great until the recent update (to v.27.0.1).
Typical format was: firefox url -save-to-folder filename
When things break, the fixes sometimes happen quickly, sometimes not. In the meantime, anyone have a workaround?

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210953&p=12955762#post12955762]?
It will depend if your Linux build was compiled by a third party. Typically if a function like that stops working, uninstalling might be a good option, but maybe not in this case.
The full list are [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options] is this one custom perhaps?
There is an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-file-to/ Save file to] that adds a dialogue, but you may want to stick to linux. There is a customize shortcuts [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ add on]

TC guest network stopped working after last update

Hi, I got the new 2TB TC. And it was working fine. Since I updates it to 7.7.3. The guest network stopped assigning IPs. I can see it and change the settings but I can't join it anymore. It was working fine before.
I Am setting it from iOS devices not a Mac.
The TC is in bridging mode.
I Also tried restoring it to default settings.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thank you.

I had it working right out of the box when I bought it, there was no double NAT warning or error message, unlike now I have to ignore the double. NAT error message for the light on the TC to turn back to green again.

Administrator password stopped working after last software update

Since last automatic software update (I know have Mac OS X 10.7.5 in my MacBook Pro), when prompted for the administrator password with new software installation or to unlock the "lock" in the system preferences, the following happens: the password is accepted as valid (no error message appears, and the password window dissapears), but nothing happens:
- For new software installation, the "Install" button appears again, and upon pressing it, I get prompted again for administrator password, and the process gets looped into these 2 steps.
- For unlocking the system preferences, the password window gets closed but the preferences are still locked.
It seems that my password is valid, because if I purposedly enter a wrong password it lets me know it is not correct, but it just does not unlock anything or just not get accepted as before!
Now I also see in the tool bar at the top right of the screen my name (I am the administrator and only user, I never created any alternative account), this was not there before.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem, please?
Thanks!!
Monica

I guess I misunderstood your original post. You are logged in, but you can't authenticate as an admin.
Back up all data.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but if the password is different from the old one, you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

Mail is totally dead. It does not connect to the internet. Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them. No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update. The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
But now I have no virus protection.
This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after 10.5.8 update

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with my keyboard after I updated to 10.5.8. More specifically the CMDOPTRight combo used in Firefox and Textmate (and possibly others) has completely stopped working.
I've checked it with the Keyboard Viewer and whenever I press this combo nothing happens. Strangely enough, when pressed in any other combo these keys work fine. I have installed no new software, installed any other updates or changed any existing keyboard combo and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next.
It's not the end of the world but any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

It's alright, I've managed to create a workaround using Quicksilver custom triggers.
