Loose Thunderbolt connections and SD cards not reading

Hello
I will give it a try to see if someone can assist me. I am having some issuew with my MacBook Pro 15 Retina laptoop. The thunderbolt connections seem to be very loose and one slight movment or pull on the cable disconetcts what ever is conncected. Here some examples. The thunderbolt ethernet connector keeps disconection with just a slight wiggle on the port. My hard drive ejects by it self ( which is a pain as you loose a lot of work and the drive corrupts eventulally) and one other issue I had was when doing a live broadcast the video feed from my Blackmagic box got interrupted all the time. So my questions is there anyway to tighten the connectors so they are as tight in the computer as they are for example on my GDrive. Also my SD card reader is not reading any cards anymore.
I have to say and I hope a apple technicain is reading that that i am not to impressed with the quality of this particual model. even so I dished out over US$4,000 for everying. After about 6 weeks i had pixles dropping out on my display right now i have about 15 dead pixels ( already contacted apple support but i have to sent it in but right now can not afford being without a computer is my bread and butter and can not affored a second one luckily i have the protection plan and hope i find the time to sent it in.
Now the issuew with the thunderbolt is very annoying sorry Apple for that price conectors should be fitting nice and snug and not loose like they do now.
I love the perfromance and the display ( besides the dead pixles) but hope apple will improve and bring out a better machine and will look at all the details
so hope someone has some idea how to get a better fit with the thunderbot

Hi, I had the same problem. Soo loose that I was incapable of using an external monitor or disk.
So I designed a gadget to secure both the Thunderbolt and MagSafe 2 connectors together, effectively providing the strength of the MagSafe magnet to the Thunderbolt connector

HT4972 after the update, my iphone is not starting, and itunes is not reading my iphone, itunes tells me that there is no sim card inserted, which is wrong, any solutions?

after the update to IOS 5.1.1, my iphone is not being activated, it tells me ''your iphone could not be activated server is temporarily unavailable. . . .'', and itunes is not reading my iphone, itunes tells me that there is no sim card inserted, which is wrong, any solutions?

Does your computer recognize other iPhones?
If the problem is only with this iPhone, try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Unable to update or restore

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Hello darrendunne87, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is '''probably caused by an extension''', theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
thank you

My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

It's maybe because your iphone was jailbroken or hacked?

I get a warning that says:Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. What can I do to get rid of it?

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?
I get two options: Continue or Cancel.
No matter which one makes the warning repeat itself and I want to change my settings to make it dissapear

You should be able to continue if you click Continue once.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem.
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer a month ago. It opened several times until yesterday. I uninstalled it and now am trying to reinstall from the CDs that I own and it will not read the disk. Nothing happens. I had previously downloaded it to my laptop and work computer. How do I install it again?

You can't run PSE from a USB drive, nor can you transfer PSE to a different computer via a USB drive. PSE must be installed on a computer using the installer program provided by Adobe.

Apostroph and euro sign not read corectly from txt file

apostroph and euro sign not read corectly from txt file.
my code is like this:
FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream(x+".html");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis,"UTF-8"));
String Line="";
while ((Line = br.readLine()) != null) result+=Line;
br.close();
fis.close();
I use UTF-8 because the file contains also French characters.
What's the problem?

This is from the FileInputStream API documentation:
FileInputStream is meant for reading streams of raw bytes such as image data. For reading streams of characters, consider using FileReader.
