MB1,1 builtin iSight only works for 2 days after disassembly

macbook 1,1 running 10.6.4
Not showing up in profile.
Researched extensively and tried everything (SMC+PRM reset, boot into safe mode, different user account, installed another isight camera, reconnected the usb cable on the back of the camera, installed AppleUSBVideo kext) Nothing has helped.
However, when I take apart the MB, somehow it works after some disassembly (can't figure out exactly what makes it work). And works for about 2 days everytime before disappearing from the profile again.
What failure could be time related? Oh, the only other thing that doesn't work is the optical drive. It won't mount any discs.

IPhone 4: lost contacts! Restore from Backup only works for 30 seconds after restore job, then contacts disappear!

The last time I backed my phone up, my contacts disappeard. So I went back in and "restored from backup." When the restore job finished, I opened up my "recent calls" and the names of my recent callers appeared for about 30 seconds and then they turned back into phone numbers. No contacts appear in my contact list.
I called apple-care and all they're interested in is trying to get me to give them money.
I tried free support from this website but the person on the other end was clueless...utterly clueless....did not even understand what I meant when I uttered the phrase "restore from backup." I had to take him through the process I had just gone through step by painstaking step, and all he could do was ask me why I didn't have my contacts.
Is there anyone here whocan help with this?
PLEASE...help me.

Wjosten,
You are absolutely correct, they are very much apart of the backup. I lost all my contacts and did the same thing as you, restored a previous backup. Upon completion of the restore, all my contacts were there. Like you, after 30 seconds, mine too erased. I tried to mess with iCloud with no luck, after re-establishing connection with either wi-fi or cellular, my contacts erased.
I tried several times and was able to finally get my contacts copied over from the restore, here is how but only works if you have the restore available with the contacts still present.
1. Restore from the previous backup (you must watch your phone because you have to be ready for the next step)
2. When your phone restarts, immediately place your phone in "airplane mode" to stop it from connecting to the cloud and wiping away your contacts. (Your contacts will remain until airplane mode is turned off)
3. Within iTunes, search for and download "My Contacts Backup" which is FREE and does not need to connect to the Internet to work.
4. Within iTunes, under the iPhone, navigate to the App's tab and find "My Contacts Backup" and click the install button to have it installed onto your phone.
5. After installed, run the "My Contacts Backup" and follow the prompts. Do not change any settings, they are already properly set up. After it copies all the contacts, it is ready to e-mail out. Email them to an address you can get on your phone.
6. Turn off airplane mode (this will delete the contacts as said above but we have a backup.)
7. Open the e-mail and click on the attachment. Follow the short steps and all your contacts will re-populate.
If you are like me, this fix also took care of my iMac and iPad contacts. I have all 400 contacts back. I hope this helps if you haven't found a fix or anyone that finds this page in the future. While trying to fix this, I stumbled across software that was over $100.00 to fix this problem. This is the free way
FYI - I had the iPhone 5 running 6.0.2
Good luck,

HT3887 i am unable to get my numerical wireless keyboard to find bluetooth after 10 months of using it.. I have reset and it only worked for a day. I have deleted it from my bluetooth list and it wont even find it . New batteries what is next?

I have had a numerical keyboard for 10mth or so and has always worked . Now for some reason it has lost its ability to connect to bluetooth..I have reset it by pressing the button in the back I have obviously changed the batteries and I have deleted and tried to reinstall it to my bluetooth menu(to no avail it cant find ti)
What next...

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Select: Show Bluetooth in menu bar
Try deleting the associated Bluetooth preference file, then try re pairing the keyboard. Preference files can become corrupted.
Open a Finder window. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
/Libray/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try pairing the keyboard.

Multicast works for a day and then stops

I'm running multicast in unicast mode on our WLC because I can't enable PIM on wired side yet for a couple reasons. It works consistently on 3 out of 6 WLAN's. And the weird thing is the other 3 WLAN's will work for a day, and when I come in the next day, multicast traffic has stopped flowing. I have verified this through IGMP snooping, using a bonjour browser, testing airplay, and using packet capture on a wireless NIC. 2 of the WLAN's are configured almost identically, but one works consistently day after day, and the other only works for a day after resetting the wlan. I have been coming in the morning and changing a single setting back and forth just to reset the WLAN so it will work for the rest of the day. I'm just writing this to see if someone can think of why it would work fine for the shole day and then stop working by the next morning. It's not an IGMP timeout setting, because it works for much longer than the timeout and behaves the same way even without IGMP snooping on. It started doing this after upgrading to 7.0.240.0. We have very little amount of multicast traffic on wireless, and low channel utilization. It does the same exact thing whether 802.11a or 802.11g so I don't think it has to do with data rates. When I have IGMP snooping on, and on the WLAN's where it's not working, the controller will see the multicast group join message from the client, but the client doesn't see the IGMP query from the controller. It shouldn't be wired config related since it's unicast mode. I've tried with and without broadcasting enabled. Any ideas?

Okay, so I discovered two things, but I still don't know what caused this problem. When I was running 7.0.230.0 I had increased my EAP-Broadcast key interval to 86400 due to a bug. This seems to be related to the fact that on the wlan's where multicast was not working, it stopped by the next day. When I backed this interval down to 3600 the multicast stopped working after an hour instead of a day. So that's why I believe it was somewhat related to the broadcast key, since that key is used for multicast.
What I realized is that multicast was working on all the wlan's on all AP's that had been rebooted since the controller upgrade (They had been rebooted due to a switch losing power). This is weird because all the AP's were rebooted when they received their own 7.0.240.0 software upgrade, so I don't know why they would have needed to be rebooted again. Anyway, I rebooted a few more AP's and multicast works properly on all wlan's on those. I'm just replying to my own thread here in case someone has a similar problem after upgrading your controller - try rebooting all your access points again. Or maybe reboot after changing EAP-Broadcast Key interval.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem. I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

Hide "more" button in a list view, only works for first item in the list

I have the following code in a list view that outputs several dozen items in a web app. The code only works for the first item, how can I make it loop through and execute the test for each item in the list view? The {tag_hide more button} is a checkmark field that yields a numeric 1" if checked otherwise yields a numeric "0".
<div id="more-option">
        <p class="right"><a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}" class="btn btn-small btn-very-subtle">More →</a></p>
      </div>
      <div class="more-selection" style="display: none;">{tag_hide more button}</div>
      <script>
if ($(".more-selection").text() == "1") {
    $("#more-option").hide();
</script>

What's the URL for the site where you are using this? Offhand, it looks like it should work with your first example so you are either placing the script before those elements are loaded or you might try wrapping your current javascript inside the:
$(document).ready(function() {
--- your existing javascript here
This make sure the code runs once all the html is loaded on the page. Without seeing a URL and debugging with the js console in Chrome I can't give you a solid answer.
But, I do know that you can probably do this with a lot less markup. Once we figure out what the actual problem is I have a better solution mocked up for you on jsfiddle.
When looking at my HTML code on jsfiddle, please realize I setup some dummy HTML and removed your tags and added actual values which would be output by your tags. The main thing I did was remove the whole div.more-selection and instead, added a "data-is-selected" attribute on your div.more-option element. Then, in my javascript for each div.my-option element on the page, we loop through them, find the value of that data attribute and hide that div if it's less than 1 (or 0).
Here's the fiddle for you to look at: http://jsfiddle.net/thetrickster/Mfmdu/
You'll see in the end result that only two divs show up, both of those divs have data-is-selected="1".
You can try pasting the javascript code near the closing </body> tag on your page and make sure to wrap my js inside a <script> tag, obviously. My way is neater on the markup side. If you can't get it to work it's likely a jquery conflict issue. My version is using the $(document).ready() method to make sure all the code is loaded before it runs.
Best,
Chris

My applications always quit...iChat only works for 4 minutes at a time HELP

ok so i bought leopard today
i installed it but i skipped that step when leopard checks the volume of your comp or whateever (not sure if that will affect what im about to say)
now i have leopard...i love it but my applications just KEEP quitting out and my iChat only works for 4 minutes and then my friends stop recieving my messages
should i uninstall and re install?? how would i go about doing that??
anything just please help

One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

Flash only works for one user

Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
Player."
JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
installed.
So does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control by following the instructions stated in
tn_14157.
2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
instructions stated in
fb1634cb.
Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
user accounts.
As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
would work.

Bob

Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer. It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said "failed to register"

Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
Thanks,
