My Time Machine and backup drive are not recognized and do not work after this update...is there a way to fix this?
After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MAC Time Machine backup drive is no longer recognized and the process freezes when I try to re-install the drive from the drive's software. Is there a way to fix this?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Most applications are not working after software update-HELP!!!
HI,i have a 4 years old macbook which i upgrade couple of month ago with snow leopard to use it with my iphone...everything was fine,all applications were working until i did the software update today!!!now almost NOTHING works,no skype,no itunes,no msn..etc..when i try to open an application,it shuts down!!!ANY IDEAS???
The normal best practice for any update:
backup
repair your system
insure you have a working bootable backup clone
restart once in safe boot mode
and only then apply updates
repair permissions (but ONLY from current system version, not from earlier version, so skip using original OS X Snow Leopard DVD even)
Also check the "Using Snow Leopard" forum. There are always a few/some who seem to have problem, but unless you have something that 'broke' and does not work with this update, it was an underlying issue, "waiting to happen" so to speak. -
My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it. Several of the the icons on screen will not work either. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone. -
Push messages are not working after iOS6 update
After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS6, push messages of apps like facebook, facebook messenger, whatsapp, google voice have stopped working in sleep mode.
I get mesaages only when I open the application.
I have tried to factory restore, install all the applications once again, sync phone from iTunes but no use.
Do anyone know why this is happening and what is the solution?scotth63 wrote:
When you say delete firmware.. do you mean selecting reset on the phone and choosing erase all content and settings? Or actually going in to the phone to delete it?
I didn't try resetting the phone first, I can try that.
You can try that but that's not what I meant. The firmware gets save in your iTunes library os not matter how many often you restore your phone it will always restore from the firmware from your library. This firmware could have issues and as long as you restore from it it is more than likely you will keep having the same problems.
Here's how it works:
Mac:
Go to Finder> library>iTunes>iPhone software update.
There you will se the firmware version of your phone, Delete it and then restore. Note that now when you restore the phone, iTunes will re-download a new fresh firmware.
Windows:
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates.
apply the same procedure described above and you'll have the same result.
If are a windows user, when you get to the Documents and Setting folder, make sure that you select the option to view hidden folders from TOOLS> FOLDER OPTIONS> VIEW>SELECT VIEW HIDDEN FOLDERS so you can see the application data folder in case its not visible. And remember to sync as new phone
I would recomend doing this first.
Hope this helps and good luck. -
Fly out tool menus are not working after latest update-help?!

So, it sounds like there's a compatibility problem. I didn't realize that Firefox accesses Silverlight in a whole different way. Do you think Firefox needs to be updated/patched to be able to work with the Silverlight plugin again, or does the plugin need to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of Firefox?
</blockquote>
First of all, I´m not a IT guy...just a fan of "firefox".
Regarding your question, since this issue started with the 34.0.5
version of "firefox" it´s my opinion that it´s "firefox" the one that
should be updated/patched to work again with "netflix".

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -
Usb drives are not working, usb drives are not working
USB drives are not working. Please help
Non of my Western Digital drives are working anymore on several different Mac computers, one Mac can still work with the drive so I am not getting it up dated to the new OS.

There needs to be a fix, I can't afford all new drives plus they have video on them that I need to use.
Also iPhoto and Garage Band have disapeared I can't find any trace of them??? -
I downloaded CS6 and am having issues with my print driver. It is not compatible with the HP 2600n and have tried to download drivers given to me by adobe ( (Jupiter 3) but it is not working. after a few days. Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

If you mean the Developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion you need to be posting this to the appropriate developer forum or AppleSeed forum. We can't help you with software that hasn't been released.
Your second question seems to be related to iTunes Match, yes? Try posting it in that forum. -
