Mysterious..wooooo. Not life or death but weird and confusing.

Hi guys!
Just wondering if you guy's know why:
1. My iMac occasionally resets to the lowest Brightness/Contrast setting upon start up.
2. After waking from sleep, the first key I type won't register. (ex. - I wake my iMac and go to Safari. Let's say I want to look something up in Google. I'll type in "SOMETHING" in the search window. It will come out as "OMETHING"...weird!!?? Everytime after wake up.
I can live with this but I'd like to know why this happens.
Thanks!

try running cocktail's optimization and repair permissions and see what happens

Lync 2013 and Office 365 - Desktop Client not showing contact pictures but online and mobile does.

Hello
I have gone so far of opening a support call with Microsoft but they don't know how to fix the problem also so I was wondering if anybody has a fix for me.
We have only about 25 users using Office 365 Mid Size Business - We don't have the AD Intergrated yet - that will be at a later date. So I am not doing any of this thumb photos in AD which I have read about.
So about 15-16 of the machines work fine, We have the Desktop Office 2013 installed , and in Lync everybody can see everybody's contact photo.
We have the rest which works perfect apart from showing the contact photo's - All settings are the same - When these users use the Online Web Lync or iPAD Lync, all photos are displayed....it is just on the desktop.
Like I said Microsoft spent an hour on a workstation and don't know what the fix is - we did all the deletion of the SIP Dir in the c:\users\username\appdata\microsoft\office\15.0\lync - For me , I don't see this as a game changer since all aspects of Lync
work for IM, Conference, Presentation - however I am guessing some of my users want to stare at pictures all day :-)
I would like to know am I the only person getting this?

Hi Andy,
Have you viewed this KB article:

Ipad not showing in iTunes but recognizes and synchs

Hi all:
Ok so here is my situation. i decided today to get my house in order and prepare for icloud.
I have 2 4th generation Ipod Touches
and an Ipad2 and
an Ipod classic.
Until about 2 months ago, I had my backups in itunes on a Windows 7 machine. My music and other media were on a networked external hard drive for home sharing.When the Sony Vaio failed, I got a Mac Book Pro.(tired of spending good money on devices which dont last a year!!)
I am now running OSX10.7.1, with Itunes 10.4.1. I was able to connect and synch up media to the ipod classic a couple of months ago, with no problems.
My issue today is that when I connect the Ipad, or the Touches, they are recognized in iTunes and I get the message that they are already synch'd with another computer (the vaio that died) and that inorder to proceed itunes needs to erase and install items from this new computer and library. No problem with that. Except that the device isn't listed in the left had side of the screen like it used to.
In the case of the Ipad which was the first I connected,I ended up downloading all the apps on to Itunes so I could start over and select them for installation. BUT... after it was taking a long time and i checked iTunes, i noticed that the device was not listed under devices on the left side of iTunes. But there was a synch in progress and my entire itunes library of songs got installed on the ipad. I need to be able to pick and choose like before. I had some music on the ipad, but not my entire library.
In the case of the Ipod Touches, they were also recognized and not listed under devices and I was able to update the system software on them to the latest. but I stopped short of synching for obvious reasons. Under device preferences I see backups for the Ipad and the Touches that were done today. But I dont know if I trust them.
I canot find threads out here specifically for this issue. Seems like most of the time the device isnt recognozed at all. In my case Itunes sees it and updates it, but i cant see the device and manage what goes on it. This is especially essential for the ipod touches which are for my children. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Internet not working - wifi connected but internet and server fail, ethernet cable doesn't work either

All of a sudden the internet on our Macbook Pro does not work. We connect through an Airport Extreme and other mac works fine. It shows that wifi is fully connected but when i go to diagnostics, i see the internet and server are failing. I tried connecting an ethernet cable and it doesn't work that way either. Have restarted and reset modem and router, nothing is working… help!

Hi ehamzic1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer cannot connect to the internet. In your situation, you will need to isolate to find what is causing the issues connecting. I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article. The article should help you troubleshoot and resolve this situation.

Quicktime in GoogleSites does not play in Safari5 (but Safari4 and others)

I need a hint, why quicktime movie embedding(viewing) in GoogleSites is broken in Safari 5.
In GoogleSites the following html-embed gadget in snippet 1 is used for embedding quicktime movie:
This html-code works in Safari4 and other browsers, but not in Safari5 (not Mac or Windows).
I assume this has to do with long url.
Url in gadget encodes object and embed tag shown unencoded below in snippet 2.

Any idea what causes this issue?
Is this a bug in Safari 5?

I have reduced the complexity of page-html below and opened it from .html file on local HD. You can cut and paste to give it a try.
Result is that IFRAME works with some text content (section 2), but not with encoded XML-embed-snippet with object-tag (see above) as content (section 1).
But this object tag with embed-tag works in last section (section 3) as direct part of the html-page.
Just the combination of iframe and embed-snippet works in all other browsers even Safari 4, but not Safari 5. What is wrong?

Lync 2013 + Windows 8 phones not getting any notification but android and iphone works fine

Dear All,
Issue : None of the windows 8 phones gets alert when someone pings in lync2013
Description: We get notification when someone pings to lync2013 im configured in android or iphone and it fails to notify when someone pings lync2013 configured in windows phones Example : Lumia 920,930,625
Environment:
Singe FE and Edge
Assessments:
Push notification is enabled in the server side and on mobile
Tried using 2010 version client had the same issue
Push testing was successful until I updated the server and now after update I am getting the following error

Please let me know if this is causing the issue,
Please note : As soon as I see this tried invoking the csmanagementstore replication and got to know my edge server is not up to date - I am sure this has no relation with push this is for getting the changes informed to edge server,
Everything works normal with no issues apart from this,
Seeking your valuable advice here,
Thanks

Hi Nelson,
To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information.
1. Have you added the new hosting provider, Microsoft Lync Online, and then set up hosting provider federation between your organization and Lync Online ?
Configuring for push notifications in Lync Server 2013
2. Have you installed the new root certificate?
Lync Servers currently use the GTE CyberTrust Global Root and beginning on June 1st, 2013 will migrate to the Baltimore CyberTrust Root. The
migration of Lync Online Service to use the new Baltimore trusted root Certificate Authority is planned during May 2013. As of June 1st 2013,
all of our servers including the Lync Push Notifications Clearing House Service will be on Baltimore certs only. So please ensure that your Lync Server deployments have been updated to trust the Baltimore Root before that.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/lync/archive/2013/05/02/lync-mobile-push-notifications.aspx
In addition, it is recommend to update the Lync servers to the lasted version.
Best regards,
Eric

Help :( DVD Drive will not read Blank DVDs but movie and data DVDs ok.

I am at loss what to do. Whenever I put in DVD with media in it (including +R), it plays and reads it all just fine. CD data reads no problem too. However, when I put in a Blank DVD, it chugs and ejects it out completely.
Preferences are fine. It says 'Ask What to Do' is set when 'You insert a Blank DVD'
Here was how it started. Previously, I could put in a blank DVD and it would be just fine but I'm having problems burning after the 10.5.6 update. Read in a post somewhere to try resetting your PRAM which I did and now it won't accept the blank DVDs. Everything else is fine.
I know a lot may say it's a bad batch, but I bought a new batch, Memorex vs. Verbatim and nothing.
Would really appreciate ANY help I can get!

Songs not playing on iPod but they do on iTunes

I recently bought a iPod and have been transfering songs that were already on my computer to my iPod. I went to play one album and it just skipped through all the tracks and wouldn't play them. On other albums only some of the songs have been put on iPod/iTunes and I can't work out why. The albums that I'm trying to put on are not from iTunes store but some of them work and others don't.
Any ideas how to get round this problem?

I have experienced a similar problem and was able to isolate the situation to a group of MP3 format songs that I imported into my iTunes library from CD several years ago. They were stored as MP3 format rather than the M4A format that is currently used.
The problem seems to have developed recently on iPod classic with the last release of firmware.
Several suggestions were tried to fix the problem (which did not work for me). Things tried that did NOT work - reset ID3 tags, MP3 validator, turning off artwork, the back light trick, etc.
I finally reripped the music into my iTunes library and resynched my iPod classics and life is wonderful again on the iPod classic.

ITunes 10 will not open / Reinstalled etc but Nothing Happens!!!

I was asked to upgrade in iTunes 9.2 yesterday. Update downloaded and installed ok but the program didn't open, so i tried a few things then started on reinsatlling again and again...
I've reinstalled many times, removed everything with ccleaner,cleaned registry deleted everything i could find to do with apple but still same problem after install hit the iTunes icon computer thinks about it but doesn't open, nothing at all happens, I've had the software agreement a few times but not always.
Tried extracing .exe and installing one by one in certain order as mentioned in another thread, I've created new profiles, tried with bb disconnected firewall, anti-virus etc disabled - same thing!!
Tried going back to 9.2 as still have the exe after recent os install but after it installs when try to open the app i get message saying cant open because of newer "iTunes Library.itl" - I even tried searching for that to delete but its the itunes10 exe
I only want to upgrade my phone os to 4.1
Itunes really is a crap, never liked it just gotta use it for my phone...
anyway...
Any help or advice appreaciated

I have 10 working now, tbh not really sure wich one of the many things I tried worked but my pc was off for a while had some food when i got home, rebooted clicked the icon just for kicks and up it popped!
Before i switched off, I actually reinstalled again... through the extract method but i installed on a new profile, installing itunes .msi last but still didn't work anyway logged off then back on my main profile still didn't work!
Anyway checked appple stuff in firewall(Esnet SS4)again then changed bonjour permissions but also didn't work at the time, seriouly p1ssed me off this whole thing, any how went for dinner came back and hello 10.... all this crap just to update my phone! this *****.
I personally think it's something to do with the bonjour service, i'm probably wrong but check your firewall/security settins etc allow everything to do with apple lol.. I was also offline when it opened before i had chance to connect bb.
anywayz good luck people if this blurb helps you, you just didn't waste the last few minutes of your life!

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 10.9.4

Oh 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.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck!

Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.

I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

White screen of death but can see screen when hold down power button?

I've had my iPod Touch 4g for a few months (in December it will be a year) and for the past two months, I haven't been able to use it because of the white screen of death. I tried reseting it, restoring it (which didn't work because of error 1394 or something like that) and NOTHING seemed to work. Today, I decided to try restoring it again, and it worked!...for all of two hours.
Now I have the white screen of death but it shows the screen if I lightly hold down the power button (not enough that it clicks).
I've tried restoring it again, but it stays the same- white screen of death that shows the screen when I lightly hold down the power button.
Can anyone help me :\

Contact Apple and get it replaced/serviced.
