Mini and Latest Lion update broke my Bluetooth

Hello
Anyone else having bluetooth connection problems with the latest update of Lion OS?
Booth Apple Keyboard and Trackpad are now unuseable. Fortunately I have some old USB mouse and keyboard kicking around.
Joseph

Obviously nobody else has ever heard of this problem...as I have received no replies. Still am unable to launch the system and have read and tried everything I can find online. I really can't afford to take this to a service place as they want to charge me $125/hour to fix it...but my life and work are on this laptop and I was hoping to solve the problem myself simply. oh well, thanks to anyone who read my post anyway...I'll just bite the bullet. P.S. I'm writing this on a Windows XP platform and maybe that's the next way to go...sorry Apple. It's hard to find technicians to fix your stuff. Windows techs are a dime a dozen.
I was doing an automatic software update last night
of whatever the latest security update is and in the
process while still running other tasks in the
background, the software froze up. I rebooted and all
I got was the gray screen with the apple and the
spinning gear. So I tried rebooting again and again
and again. Nothin. It will not boot from any startup
disk while holding the "c" key. (OS 9 or 10) I have
removed the battery and tried with just the power
adapter. nothin. I have tried booting in safe mode.
nothin. I have zapped the pram. nothin. I have zapped
the nvram. nothin. It's an ibook G4 14" opaque white.
I'm running OS 10.3.4. I have an airport extreme card
installed. Any help would be delightful! Thanks!

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

Latest iTunes update broke Nano 7G detection/sync

The latest update to iTunes (v11.3.0.54) for PC has broken my ability to connect my Nano 7G and sync.
First let me give you the conditions.
I have 2 PCs. Both are running Windows 8.1 with all Windows updates installed. PC 1 is my main desktop and I recently updated iTunes to the latest version, 11.3.0.54. PC 2 is a laptop that is still running v.11.2.2.3. After the update I attempted to connect my Nano to PC 1 and was given this error message.
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again"
After clicking OK, the iPod does not appear to be detected or connected to iTunes. It also does not show up in My Computer as an attached device, and does not show up in Device Manager as either a USB device or Portable device.
At first I thought I had just broken the Nano, but I attempted to connect it to PC 2 running the earlier version of iTunes and it works 100% perfectly. I have indeed tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes multiple times, rolling back to an earlier version on PC 1 (which won't load due to the library file being modified by the later version) and then upgrading again. I have tried connecting on multiple USB ports and used 2 different USB/Lightning cables. All work fine with PC 2 running the older version, none work with PC 1 running the latest. I have tried doing a reset of the Nano while disconnected and connected. Both fail.
Again the iPod worked fine before the update and still works fine on a PC with an identical operating system/updates running an earlier version of iTunes. Is this something I can fix myself? How? Or is it something I will just have to wait for Apple to patch?

Hello joejoehoppy,
Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

2010 Mac Mini and OSX Lion

Hi Everyone,
Hoping I can get some advice.
I have a 2010 Mac Mini and am thinking about upgrading to OSX Lion.
Although I know my Mac meets the system requirments (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2Gb RAM), I was wondering what the performace is like on with these specs.
I mainly use my Mac for iTunes, Safari, Twitter and iPhoto if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

It works ok for me, I've got a 2010 mini (base model) and am using it as a server for web, iTunes and VPN. It handles lion fine, the only quibble is that being always on it heats up during the day a lot, more so than when I had Snow leopard installed. It's not to unacceptable levels though. But as dingy and beezelbubba say, Ram is cheap nowadays and if you've got the spare cash it's always worth it.

Latest Apple Updates broke my MBP

Installed latest Apple Updates on early MacBook Pro 13" and on rebooting I now have the grey screen of death with spinning logo. This has appeared in earlier support posts across the last two years, but I fail to see why a brand new system should hit this problem. Unfortunate that its my daughters computer and her install disc is 250 miles away. Have discovered that early Snow Leopard retail DVD is incompatible with newer Macs so cant even do a reinstall. This is not a quality design Apple!!

Firefox 19 Beta and the Latest Acobat updates Broke PDF Printer

Details at Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=837369 (Not Responding Error)
In a netshell, in FF 19 beta I can only now create PDF's if I do it from the Print Preview Pane.
In the previous FF update prior to FF 19, PDF printing was sporatic, BUT I could usually print to PDF if after choosing the fiename to print to, and minimizing Firefox.
It appears that the Dialog "Creating Adobe PDF" is being blocked and hidden.

Yea, I know it does appear to be a hit or miss situation and, for me, mostly miss. The "Creating Adobe PDF" window gets really burried.
Sometimes it never, ever completes, but the document does. Other times it will appear just as you Kill Firefox. Somtimes the docuament names are even wrong.
In short, it's really messed up.
There is Firefox doing things, Windows doing things, Distiller doing things and they really all need to be on top, but not on top of each other. I think Firefox is monopolizing the desktop.
It's painfully obvious that the PDF prnter file dialog should come to the front automatically and it doesn;t. It hasn't for a while. Again, Firefox wins.
Notice that when you move some of the Adobe dialogs, the Firefox screen underneath leaves holes.

Mountain Lion Update broke Time Machine

Okay, so I updated Mountain Lion to the latest version recently. Since that time, Time Machine has given me the same error message every time it tries to back up.
Time Machine Error
This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 60.91 GB but only 52.22 GB are available.
Here's what the Time Machine preferences says:
Time Machine Backups
52.2 GB of 500 GB available.
Oldest Backup: February 21, 2013
Latest Backup: February 21, 2013
Next Backup: Today, ____pm (It displays whatever the time currently is on the system clock.)
First off, the backup drive & available space info is accurate, but I'm confused, because I've been using this very same disk for three years, with this same computer (identical config, as far as TM is concerned; just software updates and additional apps). It has just been since this last update that TM broke. The weird part is that all of my older backups have disappeared, as well. TM has always managed the drive space and number of backups handily. I have the simplest setup possible, for TM . . . one machine, one user, one USB-connected dedicated backup drive without any partitions.
As it goes through the attempts to back up, it says Preparing backup, then cleaning up old backups . . . and then fails.
Oh, I should add, that the usb cable that connects the drive is really loose, and will sometimes disconnect mysteriously on its own. Could that have done something to the drive?
I also have a full backup online with Backblaze, so I do have a fail-safe backup if something strange happens.
I've done some research, but all the info I've found is for OSX Leopard, and doesn't seem to help at all.
Sooooo . . . any ideas, tips, help? I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks!

Sorry, I left Leopard behind too many years ago and have never used TM. I only posted the link to the definitive guide on TM that I know about.

Are there sign on issues with the latest lion update?

My husband just purchased an iMac and has had problems signing onto, and staying signed onto, the internet. I was feeling smug until I updated my iMac to the latest version of Lion

Latest iTunes update broke my iPod 3rd gen connection

Recently, iTunes decided to send an update to break my iPod connection. Well, it worked. It broke any connection to iTunes, as well as my system.
I have;
- tried resetting the iPod. (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363)
- UnInstalled -ALL- Apple software
- Re-Installed iTunes
Result - iPod shows connected on the iPod, but not in Windows.
What else can I try??
ORA

Newest attempt;
Unistall everything Apple.
Install iTunes 8.2.1
iTunes still fails.

E51 latest firmware update broke any WIFI attempt ...

I'm really pi__ed off now, after the latest firmwareupdate i get: "Web: No Gateway Reply" whenever I try to connect to ANY wifi connection, regardless off wep/public etc. What is really annoying is that this is NOT a new issue...it has been reported in earlier firmwares in all kinds of forums... and the lack of support from Nokia in this matter is mind boggling.
I want my phone fixed! and dont give any **bleep** like: "did you try to connect to another wlan etc." off course I have. There is no reason why my wlan spots wouldnt work after the update.
Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem?

What you said made no sense, please explain what you meant if you even can. To be honest you sound like you have no idea what you are talking about. "But those are type of private WLANs and you can not browse them." Please define a private Wlan and why I should not be able to "browse" it.
There seems to be a bug within the DHCP client. Maybe it's not holding the RFC standards for DHCP because when I configure static IP on the phone, everything works properly. Please fix DHCP!
Funny enough I can access my router's configuration page from the phone but it just wont go through the internet.

Keyboard Update Broke Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

Nice going, Apple. Your handy little update now prevents my (formerly) flawlessly working Apple Bluetooth keyboard from pairing. Bravo! Maybe you can teach Microsoft some lessons...

Have you tried deleting the pairing and then using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to re-pair with your iMac?

Latest Flash update broke fullscreen

I am used to watch youtube videos on full screen while doing other stuff. I pause the videos, alt tab to do stuff in other windows, then resume watching the video
But since latest update, whenever I alt tab while video is paused, it exits full screen mode, so I have to enable full screen again every time. This did not happen before update - I could watch videos and then just alt tab back to the full screen
Tried different computers and different browsers, so the problem is with Flash and not with something else
Please patch this is an EXTREME inconvenience for me and others as well most likely!

I'm sorry you're going through this. You might be running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4. Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
If the crashing continues, please open a new bug report on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com. The following FAQ will walk you through the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log (if applicable):
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?
Once the bug has been added, please post back with the bug URL or bug number so that others effected can add their comments and votes.

Change of username and latest iPhone Update

I recently successfully changed my Apple Username, following my move to a new ISP. However after having successfully downloaded the latest iOS software onto my iPhone, my phone asked me to complete a few more steps to complete the update. One of which was to enter my Password for the displayed Username. The displayed Username (which could not be altered) was my old Username (the password to which I have now forgotten and unable to receive emails at its' address, ie: from Apple with forgotten password hints etc).
After three failed attempts, I pressed the 'Skip This Step' option and receved the Apple message that my iCloud and Facetime wouldn't be set up correctly as I hadn't entered the required information!
Can someone please help me with what I've done wrong or how I can change the pre-displayed Username information on my iPhone?
Thank you

Sorry, I've just answered my own question (thanks to Winston Churchill!). I deleted my iCloud account on my iPhone, then reinstalled it with my new username and all works well now. So Thanks Sir Winston!
