  • Blue tooth stops working and disappears on iMac G5

    My sister Imac G5 has been working fine for a long time except for her breaking the wireless mouse and never having batteries. She also has a wireless keyboard. Well I decided to buy here the Mighty mouse wired device. Soon after she lost bluetooth abilities, or it would come on and off sporadically.
    I discovered that if i disconnect the mouse the blue tooth reappears and also stays on longer, occasionally it will disappear again and then come on. Is this a bug in one of the latest software updates?

    Hello N:
    Try trashing the preference file and then restarting (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Also, the BT hardware may be at fault.

  • Had a Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working.  I brought an Airport Extreme and suddenly it took over and Airport Express stopped working and disappeared from Airport Utility. What I am supposed to do?  ar2ro

    I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working without any problem.
    Recently I bought an Airport Extreme to use it as my Base Unit connecting it to my DSL.
    I followed the instructions of the Airport Utility, and it started working.
    Suddenly, problems started happen the Airport express that was connected to the stereo , stopped working and it disappeared from the Airport Utility area , as it did not exist in the network. I tried to reset it but it did not appear in the Airport Utility page.
    Apparently I have other problems with the private network that it created because I cannot use it because of problems with the password that was created.  I can only use the network that  I created for my guest...
    I dont know if my problem is a configuration problem or  there is problem with the equipment.
    I read that other users where having the same problem with the Airport express , using non apple equipment as their base unit , but I thought that using the Airport Extreme was going to be compatible and no problems would happen.
    What should I do?

    Common Problem. Common solution.
    Connect your Express via ethernet cable to the Mac while other network connections on the Mac are switched OFF.
    After the Express shows up, change the settings of the Express to join the existing network. Take the appr. settings.
    Unplug and reconnect your Mac to the network.
    Check if the Express shows up in Airport Utility
    Alternative solution:
    Hardreset the Express to factory settings
    (while on power push the Pin next to the audio plug with a paperclip. Plug out the Express still holding down the little button then replug the Express to power and release button)
    After that, the Express will show up in the Airport Utility.
    Make all needed settings.
    I would prefer the first solution, its easier just to plug a cat5 cable.

  • HT4061 My volume quit working and volume button disappeared

    my volume quit working and the volumebutton disappeared. Last night I was able to get itback briefly by following instructions from a community string. I.e lock rotation double press home and adjust on slide. However this morning, sound gone and can't getting back. The volume button is gone.

    THanks. Tried to restore a couple  times now. Think it's toast. Still works w/headphones. Know anything about out of warranty coverage? I dropped shortly after purchased 7 mo ago (volume worked fine until 2 days ago), so don't think limited warranty will be honored b/c of ding from drop (even though it worked after fall)

  • Will the blue tooth hr monitor and speed and cadence sensor work together

    will the blue tooth hr monitor and speed and cadence sensor work together

    This solved my question by xtremecarbon  on Jul 18, 2012 6:58 PM
    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

    If not, download, unzip and run the attached registry script.

  • For the second time in one week, my dowloaded film stopped and disappeared from Video. apple apologized and will refund me.have some,others the same problem?

    My dowloaded films stopped after a while and disappeared from Video. How come can this happen?

    I cant explain it but this bizarre "fix" works many times if your videos "disappear". I have passed this on to a number of people and it has worked for them. You can try it if you like.
    Go to your home screen and swipe to the right to bring up the spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie that you were watching. If the movie appears in the search, tap on it to begin playing. If it plays, let it go for a few minutes and then hit the done button to stop it. Then go back to the Videos App and see if the movies and TV shows have reappeared.

  • Why did colorzilla disappear from my laptop and why doesn't Firefox allow it to download?

    I used the zoom feature on colorzilla quite a bit, but now it's disappeared from my laptop. I googled colorzilla and got a link to www.colorzilla.com. The download link took me to www.colorzilla/firefox, and a "firefox prevented" notification appeared.
    Is colorzilla not recommended by mozilla/firefox?
    thank you

    hello kmarble, this dialog is just a standard security measure that you can confirm and will show up on every third-party site which offers to install an addon - you can also download colorzilla directly from [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/colorzilla addons.mozilla.org]...

  • HT1386 I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed.  My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

    I have an iphone 4 which quit working and I had my iphone 3 reactivated until I get my 4 replaced or fixed.  My computer does not recognize my iphone 3 when I plug it in. I also cannot figure out how to apply my last backup to my iphone 3

    If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

  • IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

    I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
    If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
    I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

    I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
    1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
    2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
    3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
    Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
    Can someone please Help.

  • The camera raw button in Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my camera raw files are hidden by a c

    The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it.  I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button.  How can I fix it?

    This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
    In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
    Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
    Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:
