Kensington, Deja Vu, Typeit4me still don't work, even w/ 10.4.5

The update seems to have gone smoothly, but the software for my Kensington trackball, the back-up Deja Vu sofware, and Typeit4me all still don't work.
Oh well.

Even when all other apps are running I have no menu bar icons. The big problem is the system prefs don't respond to me wanting to show them in menu bar. I can click the box to show them, close the window, and then when I go back into the pref pane the box is unchecked.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

License installed: Memleak & JRA Recording still don't work on remote srv

This a JRockit 28.1.1 version on a remote server.
As noted, a "LIC-JRMC50" license has been installed into its jre, but the memory leak and jra recording functions from the local xp based Mission Control 3.0.5 still don't work.
The connector to the remote server is working, as I can open console and see its workings.
When attempting to start Memory Leak an error is shown:
Caused by: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: bea.jrockit.management:type=MemLeak
at com.sun.jmx.interceptor.DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.getMBean(DefaultMBeanServerInterceptor.java:1094)
When trying to start JRA Recording a message is shown that says something like "No Options could be retrieved for this connector. Make sure you're connected to a Jrockit instance..".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

JRockit 28.1.1 should work better with Mission Control 4.0.1 (which should be bundled together with JRockit R28.1.1)
JRockit 27 versions use JRA, JRockit 28 versions use FlightRecorder instead.
Mission Control 4.0.1 requires not license file.

[SLVD?]Openoffice fonts have bad spacing, hair spaces still don't work

Compare the first pic of Times New Roman in Openoffice, with the second pic in mousepad. (They are both size 12, I have no clue why the Openoffice one is smaller than the mousepad one.)
The spacing between the letters in the Openoffice version looks funny for some reason. You can really see the difference at the "as I cannot" and "example".
Why are the Openoffice fonts like this? Is there any way to make them normal? I have tried using other fonts, but Liberation and DejaVu also exhibit the same behaviour.
EDIT: Also, hair spaces don't work in Openoffice.
EDIT2: I realized that Openoffice was at an 83% view, and at 100% view it looks better.
Hair spaces still don't work though.

Some fonts don't support hair spaces. I have only checked a few fonts, but so far none of the MS fonts contain the hair space, U+200A. Times New Roman, Courier New and Arial don't have that glyph.

Cannot update itunes10.6.3. I get no errors. I repaired all of the apple programs and it still don't work. Acts like it wants to start but doesn't. Thanks in advance

I cannot updated itunes 10.6.3. I receive no errors. I repaired all of the apple programs as suggested in other discussions but it still don't work. Do I need to uninstall and start over again?

Initially I received the usual message to update. I replied to it but it did not respond. I then tried to manually update through iTunes and it did nothing. Only reaction I get is that the cursor "flutters" for a second and than tries to go to the store for maybe a second and than nothing else happens.
With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that go through any better for you?

X4150 disk lights.. still don't work

Last night we upgraded from ELOM to ILOM. Thank god everything went okay, I was very afraid of it. Love the new power distribution/usage feature.
One of the things we were hoping to get fixed with these firmware upgrades is the HDD lights. They still don't work. Is there a specific kernel patch that is needed for them to work? They've never worked from day 0, when we bought the system back in 2008.
Thanks!

Looks like I might need to upgrade the firmware on the disk backplane as well as newer HBA controller firmware.
I found the backplane firmware tools&drivers ISO, but where can I get the LSI 1068E firmware? This is on Solaris. I guess I will need to build a OpenSolaris USB boot and upgrade through raidctl from there.
Thanks

My back/forward buttons don't work - have done 'reset toolbars and controls', but they still don't work

When I downloaded the latest version I got a new screen with the orange Firefox tab at the top. That was fine, I could find what I wanted, but back/forward buttons didn't work. I checked the help section and went right through the suggestions down to 'reset toolbars and controls' - this did reset and I lost the orange box - that doesn't matter, but the back/forward buttons still don't work.

Do you have more than one tab open? If you didn't go to another site in a single tab, then yes, the buttons will be greyed out. If you went somewhere in another tab, then those sites should be accessible by right clicking either button.

Wireless keyboard function keys don't work even though updated

Hi,
like i read in different threads, many others had this problem too.
The function keys of my bluetooth keyboard (aluminium 2009) don't work even though i did firmware update for mighty mouse AND the keyboard firmware update. I also unset the option 'use function keys with fn......' option in system preferences. I also tried disconnecting and connecting the device. In system profiler the entry says it is (still) firmware version 80.
What can i do?
I'm thankful for any hint.
Best, Jörg

wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant here, too.
Wanting to buy a keyboard and reading this thread (and others), I went to a local Best Buy. They had quite a few of the wireless keyboards out. They had MC184LL(A) models and (B) models.
ALL of the (A) models worked perfectly with the iPad (typing, brightness, volume, ipod functions, etc).
NONE of the (B) models worked other than basic typing.
They had a stack of maybe 50 new wireless keyboards on the shelf. All but two of them were (B) models.
I bought one of the two (A) models. It is working perfectly on my iPad.

Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
This is what else I know and have tried:
I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
RAM: 8 MB;
OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
“QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
(I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
& here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
It did not solve the issue.
I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

For it not installing, you need to follow these instructions to install them: see the comments: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/windows-10-atiamd-display-drivers/50944d10-dde3-4e08-8244-d54eb2b1e7de] --> take warning though it looks like it has caused issues for others as well.
Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.
</blockquote>
Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
Thanks again!

Location services don't work even though they are on

My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there

Reset SMC but Screen Brightness Keys still don't work

hi all.
i noticed after squinting at the screen all day yesterday that my screen brightness keys F1 and F2 on my mac pro keyboard are not working.
first thing i did was look in the UI for some kind of manual setting like for the Sound and i was not able to find one so the screen is still a bit dark for my needs.
then i /unchecked/ the "Use Function Keys as..." box in the Settings in case something was screwed up or changed there.
then i reset the SMC controller which i basically did by default (as i understand it) by shutting down the computer and unplugging it overnight during a thunderstorm.
now i am back at trying to solve this and i am wondering if i should reset the PRAM which i guess i will do but i don't want to have to bother with resetting all the settings on this if i don't have to.
any ideas on what may be going on? i have a 23" cinema display and a Mac Pro 1,1.

27 inch. audio jacks replaced twice. still don't work??

i have a 27 in snow lepard ..audio jacks at back do not seem flat...jacks don't go in properly...wont hook up to receiver
they have been replaced. still the same..bought new wires. just in case...tested everything with other products fine..
anyone else have any other probs like this??
ready to get rid of this

Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
Thanks and Bye!
