Hello, I have upgraded my laptop to lion, from Snow Leopard, but now my Music Pad Pro, program will not work , can anyone help? Thank you.

Hello, I upgraded my laptop from Snow Leopard to lion, unfortunately I have a 2 music programs that no longer work. one is called the Music PadPro, which is now gone bankrupt, can anyone help?. I was talking to the Apple Store earlier and they said if I upgrade to the mountain lion it may help but I'm not so sure,
kind regards
Nigel

There's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there.

I would try a restore just to see if it could be something software related, but if that doesn't work I would recommend taking to an Apple Store to see if it is a serious hardware issue and if it is, assuming you're in warranty, then they would be able to replace your phone.

Howdy carliosa,
If your iMac is not starting up normally you may need to do some checking to make sure things are working correctly. I would suggest starting with the steps in this article -

I plugged in my ipod and now i get the error message: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" - i have a MAcBook pro and now my USB ports do not work - can anyone help me ???

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

You have a one-year hardware warranty & 90 days of free phone support. Take advantage of it, make an appointment at an Apple store or call AppleCare.

My home button will not work after redoing project 3 times

Using CS 5.5, I am using a single scene with buttons that all appear on the first frame along with code snippet based AS also on the first frame that when clicked, takes the user to a different frame. Everything seems to work fine, except, I have a button that when clicked on, is supposed to go back home to the first frame, though nothing happens when it is clicked on. Is there some conflicting code here?
Thanks for any help!
The following is my AS on the first frame:
stop();
Home_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(1);
Browse.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(5);
Buy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_3);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_3(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(10);
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_4);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_4(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(15);
Help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop(20);

Place you code on its own layer and make sure it extends the length of your timeline so that it is accessible anywhere along it.
For new instances of the buttons you should only need to add the event listener.
   Home_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
but you can also have this button on its own layer and have it extend the length of where it is used so that you only need one instance of it.
The same event handler function can be shared as long as you have it on a layer that ius accessible for the length of the timeline. To put a trace in the function, that's pretty much all you need to do...
   function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
        trace("the button worked");
       gotoAndStop(1);
The trace() function is one of the key tools for troubleshooting code. YOu can use it to see what the values of different properties/variables are at any time to help track down where something is going wrong (or even going right). For the case just shown, all it is doing is letting you know if clicking the button actually resulted in the event handler function being executed. If it does not trace the output indicated, you will know that the button is not connected to an event listener that is calling the function.

The home button is not working, does anyone know how to fix it?

how can I make the home button work?

I do not know with a iP4. But with iPhone 3G and 3GS, the Home Button circuitry that is used for a typical press to return to Home Screen is different than used to Reset, Enter Recovery, or DFU. So a Reset could still help. Anyway along the lines of your thinking, it would still be better to Restart the iPhone, here you would just be using the Power button. The Restart could even get the Home button to respond again. So the best advice maybe for any iPhone problem would be as often stated on this Forum.....
Restart, Reset, Restore and then last resort before throwing iPhone in trash, DFU Restore.

TS3276 my server went down and now my email is not working, can anyone help please?

My website server went down and now my email is not working (though the server is back up)
Does anyone know what I need to do?
I'm told by my website hosts that I need to 'reconfigure authentication" but I have no idea how to do this, they are now closed for the weekend and I need it fixed before Monday morning. Could anyone tell me where to find step by step instructions. I've tried but have made matters worse and the couple of mail accounts that WERE still receiving email are now also not.
Help please!

Hi Eyen80,
If you are having issues with your iPhone’s camera not functioning, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
