Messges often refuses to work

I seem to have this problen all too often as Messages refuses to work. I am trying to send a message to a iOS user and it does not work and I get the red Exlamation point. I have attempted to reboot the Mac, log in and out of iMessage but it does not fix the problem. Perhaps this is a system wide issue on Apples end.

Hi John,
I had the iMessages arrive on my iPhone early this morning. (Thanks Apple).
The Mac appeared to sync this evening (my time) at 21.08.
However I have not go the "Are you reading this" that may have been the prompt for the sync.
As you can see I have yesterday's AIM chat still "open".
I have not reported it.
The Status page Apple run says there have been no issues
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
We are currently on British Summer Time which is GMT+ 1 hour if this helps explain what happend at 4.41 BST for me or the sync time this evening.

Print to pdf often doesn't work with multiple pages?

When I try to print to pdf, it often doesn't work right.
I can select, for example, multiple Excel worksheets to print. It looks fine with 4 pages in Preview, but when I select save as .pdf, it only prints 2 of the 4 pages, and it prints those in 2 separate documents rather than a single .pdf document with multiple pages.
Is there a way to do this? Is this an Apple error or Microsoft error? Since it looks fine in Preview, my guess it is an Apple error?
Mark

It sounds like this is the problem with the way Apple handles multiple orientations in a pdf document. You can use Acrobat to print the files - it handles multiple orientations correctly. There was a previous thread on this:

ICal refuses to work

After updating to Lion 10.7.5, iCal refuses to work: won't change day/week/month, no previously entered appointments shown, can't add any new ones either. Now what? Of course, I have no backup (didn't think I needed to with iCloud). Aim is 1) to restore function, then 2) populate back from iPod Touch Any help appreciated.

I'll just address the backup issue, iCloud is NOT a backup system, you still need one.

My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install.

Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install. Support Advisor is of no help.Anyone had the same problem? It has all worked perfectly for some years now, but refuses this week.Has Adobe changed something.Windows 7.

What exactly means "refuses"?
This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
“We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Get Adobe Support Advisor”
OR
on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
“Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed. Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

Microsoft Word 2008 refuses to work for me after installing the most recent Mavericks update, 10.9.1. It is 2008, yet Excel and Powerpoint work just fine. Help!

I suggest you do one of two things:
1. Upgrade to Office 2011 for OS X.
2. Try the freeware, Libre Office.

I restored my ipod touch, and now the touch screen refuses to work

my ipod touch recently said it needed activation, although I've been using it for 18 months now. When I connected to Itunes, it said it could not read the contents of the Ipod, although it did read the model number and other details. It said to restore it to the factory settings, which I did. after restore, the touch screen refused to work. after 24, it began working, but then said it needed activation again. Hook up to Itunes, same song and dance. It is frozen again. Has anyone else had t

You should take it to the nearest apple store to let them restore it and activate it. iTunes wouldn't dare restore my ipod touch everytime i tried to restore always an error. So the next day i took it to apple and they fixed it.

Thread refuses to work

Ok, this is the weirdest thing ever happened to me ever since i started working with cellphone programming.
Lately, one of my thread refuses to activate. I have this thread that communicates with a thermal printer to print something right. Well, i have been working developing the interpretative code for it (since the SDK won't do any good for my needs) for about 4 weeks and been working perfectly. But then i tried to implement it on my application i was working on and it refused to work. Well, i though something was wrong with my code so i went back to my test program and tried to invoke de print thread and now it also refuses to work, but i noticed on the device log (i'm developing on blackberry) a IllegalMonitorStateException was thrown in the wait() method of my thread.
My thread is running all the time expecting for me to call it to work so it has this structure
class printThread implements Thread
    private boolean sleep = true;
    printThread(){} // Constructor
    public void run()
         while(sleep)
             try
                 wait();
             catch(InterruptedException e){}
             if(sleep)
                // Do the work when notifyed
    public void work()
         notify();
}Thats my basic thread structure, and been working like a charm for ages already (my application has 4 thread running backward, one of it works every 5 minutes in the background) but then i added the print thread and this problem started to appear. then i went back to my test program for the printer and the problem followed me there.
What might this be causing the problem? I could understand this problem happening in my application with the other 4 threads working there, but on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!

hm it looks like you lost synchronized keyword while making changes in the code.
IllegalMonitorStateException is definitely a WYSIWYC (What You See Is What You Coded). I mean, this exception is indeed the correct behavior for the code you posted.
Consider changing *while(sleep){...}* to something like *synchronized(this){while(sleep){...}}* - that will probably make exception go away, but...
... on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!...but given above, after fixing the exception you can get into the next problem - your application will hang.
You know, it takes two to tango. While one thread waits, there should be another one to notify.
If there's only one thread waiting, it can wait forever. I won't guarantee that this is your case though because from your explanation it is not clear if there's indeed only one thread.
I would also recommend you to consider studying Sun's [online tutorial on concurrency|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/]. +"...This lesson introduces the platform's basic concurrency support..."+ - studying it can help fix problems faster than waiting for the answer at the forum. :)

Volume adjust refuses to work unless FN is pressed

I didn't start having this problem until a week or so ago. My volume refuses to work unless FN is pressed while f9 or f10 is as well. That or I have to open the function key app and then it will work without the key.
I have windows 8 and my model is the satellite s855-s5378

Try checking the UEFI settings for a function key mode setting. Most models have a toggle that allows you to choose wheter you want to have to hold down the FN key to access the "special" keys or hold down the FN key to access the F# keys. Try switching it.

Curve 9300 Browser refuses to work?!

Hi guys!
Yet another fault with my BlackBerry 9300, the browser refuses to work, I have full 3G coverage and I am connected to my home wifi with an excellent connection, yet my Blackberry just refuses to connect to any websites, all I get is a message saying Unable to connect to server, have had the problem for a few days, tried the usual battery pull, turned of my network coverage and tried running off my wifi and vice versa yet ive had no luck...
Would be so grateful if someone had a solution, cos i really dont have the time or the energy to contact my network provider..
Thanks

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Why has my 3G stopped working on my iphone? It is enabled, and I never had problems with it before, but for about 2 months now it has refused to work and as a result I can't send any attachments such as photos or videos via text.

Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier. Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

I still am having problems with Aperture not loading, It just refuses to work, and I get the message saying it has encountered a problem, and I may need to re-install which I have done dozens of times. The fix mentioned on an earlier post wont work as it

I still am having problems with Aperture not loading, It just refuses to work, and I get the message saying it has encountered a problem, and I may need to re-install which I have done dozens of times. The fix mentioned on an earlier post doesn't work as it is for Ver 10.6.6 and I am running 10.6.7

Do you have Final Cut installed on your machine?

RE1000 - Refused to work with a WRT120N

This refused to work with a Lynksys WRT120N and Network Magic (Lynksys) could not find it. If you don't have a wireless laptop you can't get this junk to work.

I agree with Dibbler. It is important that you have the following before you try to sync your router with your RE1000:
* Wireless channel of your router
* SSID of your ruoter (your router's network name)
* the security settings, i.e. the kind of security you setup on your router (WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc.)
* Passphrase of your network
* Check if the Mac Filtering on your router is enabled. if it is, disable it.
Then you need to get the IP address assigned to your RE1000. Just access the GUI of your router, then go to Status > Local Network > DHCP Client table. It's listed beside "RE1000".
After that, access the RE1000 GUI using the IP you got from the DHCP client table.
Under Wireless tab, click Wireless settings. Choose Manual, then enter the following:
Wireless channel of your router.
SSID (wireless network name) of your router
Wireless security settings (passphrase, security type e.g. WPA, WEP, WPA2.)
Passphrase of your router or network password
Don't forget to save the settings.
Once you're done, go to Status (that's on your RE1000 gui), then check if it's already connected to the WRT120N. It should have an IP address, a default gateway and a subnet mask.
As for Network Magic, for as long as your RE1000 is properly configured with the information posted above, it should be detected by the Network Magic software. It should be visible in the network map.
Bottom line is, IT'S ALL IN THE SETTINGS OF YOUR RE1000 and your router.
But if all that fails, try upgrading your router's firmware. It could be that your router's firmware is not upgraded, hence, the connectivity issues.
Hope this helps.
