New problem connecting to a speaker dock.

I have a Vivo speaker dock and everything was fine until today and it won't recognise my ipod. I don't think it's the speaker dock because I can plug an mp3 player into it via 3.5mm phono and that works fine. I haven't played it since the 1.13 firmware update so I suspect that is the culprit. Anyone got any suggestions please?

I've tried a restore and that hasn't sorted it...but of course the firmware is still 1.13

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.7

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have foud you having looking for an answer to a problem i have had. re: New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3 and the answers listed for it the problem has been occuring on my 3 Macs, all running OS 10.4.7 and firmware on the new 20D at 2.0.3. The camera would not connect to the Mac with any software.
Canon told me to make sure that the connection mode is set to normal (which didn't work) but today they tell me to change it to P2P and iPhoto recognised the camera and downloaded. Still can't use the canon software (camera not connected / recognised) but they have said that a senior technition will be contacting me so i will keep you up to date.
All the best.

I have an update from my telephone conversation earlier today:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.
From the information supplied it would appear that the update in operating system is the cause of the problem. We can confirm that Canon are currently investigating compatibility with the recent update of the Apple Macintosh operating sytem OSX 10.4.7. If any software updates are neccessary they will become available from :

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3

I've searched these forums and others but can find nothing about this. Hopefully someone here can help.
I've been connecting my 20D to my 15" PowerBook 2005 (first running OS 10.3.9 and now running OS 10.4.3) since I got the camera two months ago. I have been using EOS Viewer Utility and the supplied USB cable and everything has been fine so far... The camera has appeared as "EOS 20D" in the left sidebar of EVU and I have been able to offload images and connect to EOS Capture.
Yesterday, all of a sudden (that is, I haven't installed anything new on my PowerBook), the camera stopped being recognized properly by EVU. When I connect the camera as I always have, "EOS 20D 1" or "EOS 20D 2" appears in the left sidebar of EVU and, when I click on it to view what's on the camera, I get the message "Cannot detect Camera. Check connection to Camera, then retry." I have un-plugged and re-plugged everything. I have tried an alternate USB cable (from my SD100). I have trashed preference files ("EOS CameraCom Pref" and "CanonEOSViewerUtility Pref"). I have removed and re-installed the EOS Viewer Utility (and all software from the CD). I have re-formatted the CF card as well as tried another CF card that hasn't been in the camera before. (The CF card still acts perfectly fine when used in a card reader.) I have updated the camera firmware to 2.0.3. I have even Repaired Disk Permissions on the PowerBook. Alas, none of this has fixed it.
I tried connecting to another identical computer with a fresh installation of EVU. That computer had never been connected to my 20D... same results.
I tried connecting to an older PowerBook (that had never been connected to my 20D) running 10.3.9 ... and everything was fine & back to normal. Usually this would lead me to believe that OS 10.4.3 was the problem, but I have been connecting to it without issue for several weeks.
Has anyone seen or heard of this before? (especially the "EOS 20D 1" and "EOS 20D 2" showing up in EVU.)
Does anyone know how to get the camera recognized properly again by EVU and EOS Capture?
Might there be a file or setting somewhere in 10.4(.3) that is not "seeing" the camera properly all of a sudden?
Despite years of Mac troubleshooting experience, I am stumped on this one and would love to get things back to normal.
In the meantime, I am able to offload JPEG's and RAW files using Image Capture, but I find EVU too handy to give up for some things. Also, EOS Capture is lost to me until I can get this figured out.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi AJ, Thanks for the thoughts. Here's the results...
New account:
I made a new account and tried the camera there. Got the exact same results. Good idea though, as that does sometimes clear things up or at least pinpoint problems.
iPhoto:
I removed it from our PB's long ago. Found its filing system too troublesome early on and never looked back. I could install it if it would get the camera recognized by EVU again, but I'd be surprised if that changed anything. (I'm guessing iPhoto recognizes cameras the same wat Image Capture does, and IC still works fine, so I'm not sure I'd discover anything new.)
EOS 20D 1 vs EOS 20D 2:
Nope, the camera doesn't have any internal memory. Only the CF card is used to hold images. I'm not sure where EVU gets the 1 and 2 from, but I'm thinking that if I knew that I could trash that pref and the problem might be solved. (Mind you, I've trashed all recognizable prefs so far. I'm wondering if Canon's EVU creates some very cryptically named file to store its camera prefs...?)
Waiting time & number of pics on card:
I don't need to wait at all, since the camera is on when I start Canon's EOS Viewer Utility, as recommended by the manual. The camera is listed when the app's main window appears. (I have tried starting EVU first, then the camera, and it takes about 3 seconds for the "EOS 20D 1" to appear, still inaccessible.)
I've tested the camera-computer connection with anywhere from 0 to about 45 images on the camera's card. I've never had any lag with either my SD100 or my 20D, no matter what app I use to access them or the number of pics on either camera's card.
Any other thoughts anyone?

Imac 27 - new problem - screen moved up and dock in the middle.

I was wondering if any of you had this problem as well. I restarted already comp and everything seems to be ok (question for how long), at this moment but just few min ago I had a dock horizontally in the middle of my screen with black and white stripes above and under that. Is there any chance that after spending so much money I will stop to be afraid what will happen next with my Imac? I am afraid to put it into sleep and wake it up. ;((((((((

Apple just released Mac OS X 10.6.2, so you should install it. First, I would run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk Permissions+ on the internal startup volume. When that completes, quit Disk Utility. You don't have to, but I usually restart immediately before running Software Update.
Software Update is under the Apple Menu. When you run it, it should show Mac OS X Update 10.6.2. Install it. It has many general fixes, and some are related to the new iMac models.
Hopefully, you won't have that odd problem you described going forward.

Problem connecting 7.1 speaker system to iMac

I purchased creative 7.1 speaker system yesterday (Model No: Inspire:T7900). The package contains a cable to connect iMac and woofer system. The cable has 4 pins to one end and 3 pin to other end. According to the manual, I connected the 4 pins to woofer system with the matching colors. Now the problem is how to connect the other 3 pin end to iMac. iMac does have only one analog out, if I connect any one of the plug, only 2 set of speakers are giving the sound and the output switches from speaker to speaker everytime I change the pin. Is there a way to connect all the 3 pins to mac so that all the 7 speakers will become functional. Please help me... I'm very much worried :(:(

I'm baffled at how you got it to work. I'd be humored to know what kind of loops you must have jumped through to get it going. Humored... and very much interested in the hack.
I brought one home from a Microcenter today for my PPC Mac Mini (10.5.2) particularly.
I've tinkered with it all day but it just is not producing any sound.
The manual instructions do not lead to results.
It does show up as a device by profiler. Alas Audio MIDI Setup is refusing to recognize the FireWave.
So I'm out $100 and am looking at another trip back to return it... unless it CAN really work.
I've emailed Griffin.
Doesn't work on a 10.5.1 Mac Pro either.
I cannot find ANY devices that will do hardware decoding via firewire /or/ usb that are supported by 10.5.2 that aren't total overkill for what I'm using it for. This seemed like a perfect solution, but I'm really dissatisfied that it didn't work out of the box and with the lack of Griffin's support.
So please if you can help me figure this out I'd really be grateful.

Audio Problem connecting external apple speaker to iMac

When I connect my Apple HIFI External Speaker to the audio out at the back of my iMac with the apple RCA optical cable, I can no longer control volume with the apple keyboard.
I can only control the volume with the apple remote.
1. Any suggestions to maintain keyboard control as well
Thanks

When you connect the third-party monitor, you can use System Preferences -> Displays to control the external monitor. You may have your preferences set to Mirror the iMac's display. But if the resolution (pixels supported by the external screen) does not match the iMac display, then it will not display properly. You need to uncheck the Mirror option in that instance. When the display is not a 'mirror', you need to drag some content (windows) to the external display to see what you want to work on there.
Once the system detects your external monitor, you can make that change. You also need to line up the two monitors in the way you wish to move content between them and which monitor you want to display the Apple menu bar. For example, the iMac display may have its right side aligned with the left side of the external display so you can drag windows through the right side of the iMac screen and they'll appear on the left side of the external display.
You also drag the Apple menu bar to the external display if you'll be working with programs using the external display. You can set resolution and other things on the two displays independently.
Hope this helps.

New problem connecting time capsule to PC running windows 7

I have a time capsule/airport that has been connecting wirelessly to a PC running Windows 7 for almost a year. The PC is now unable to connect to the time capsule giving an error message of 53 regarding TCP/IP Netbios settings. I have attempted opening the airport utility and eliminating the spaces in the time capsule name but had no success. Any suggestions?

Start with a reset of the TC.. plug it into the computer by ethernet and redo the setup.. remember.. you have ethernet to bypass all the wireless voodoo.. you can do the setup without even having the TC in network.. pull it out.. plug straight into the computer with a short cable.. go to work..
If windows 7 still has issues.. then it is a win7 problem entirely.. reinstall win7 being the best solution.. !!
Well that is a bit mean.. in their multitudinous updates.. Microsoft will often send an update that results in some nasty effects they never had 10,000 different PC to test for. Sometimes you need to roll back the update..
Sometimes win7 just goes stupid.. go to device manager.. unload the wifi card driver.. reboot the computer and load it back again.. get the latest driver from the card manufacturer.
Also make sure windows hasn't decided it is now in a work or public location not home.. it does this at intervals.. randomly to introduce fun in networking.. turn off firewalls.. and start testing procedure.. ping the TC.. turn off ipv6 in both the win7 and TC.. etc. Loads of fun things to do.
I am not sure the error message is at all relevant.. never really needed netbios to work to get internet.. but go to the tcp/ip properties for the wifi card and make sure you check netbios over TCP/IP is on.

While my iPod touch was connected to a speaker dock, I found it very hot. Not it will not turn on. I have tried the reset options and they do not work. Neither iTunes nor any of my computers recognizes it when I plug in the usb. Is there a way to fix?

Now it will not turn on. I have tried all the reset instructions with no luck. Neither iTunes nor any of my computers will recognize it when I plug it in. Is there any chance to get it working or am I out of luck? Please help if you can since I cannot afford to purchase a new one at this time. Thanks.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Iphone will not charge unless plugged into a speaker dock

Hi, my iphone charged as normall over night at a friends house by plugging it into a speaker dock. Today it wont charge via a plug and wont connect to my laptop. The speaker i have at home has old hardware and is not compatible with my iphone for charging but it will connect and play music. I dont understand why my iphone 4 wont charge via usb but can still connect to a speaker dock and play music. (i have tried my cables with other iphones so i know its not the cables and i have tried re-starting and removing sim card)
Thanks for any help anyone can give,
Jack

Charging via USB and playing music via USB are seperate functions and not mutually exclusive.
The SIM card has nothing to do with this.
Any difference when connected to the power adaptor?

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

"There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
many thanks!!

Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.
