Nintendo Wii Remote and Remote Buddy work only in Safe Mode

I'm having trouble with getting Bluetooth to work in normal mode. I can connect to BT devices but the connection is lost within a couple of minutes. In Safe Mode, however, the connection is stable. I am using a Nintendo Wii Remote and Remote Buddy software (both of which are really cool). Also, a Sony Ericsson Z520a phone works well in safe mode but not in normal mode. What can be done to get things working properly?

Here is an update: connecting the iMac G5 with the Wiimote through Bluetooth using the Remote Buddy software works IF I do nothing but connect in normal startup mode. Waiting a few minutes after connecting allows me to then use the Wii as a remote. What is happening!! Please, someone respond. Thanks in advance.

Safari works only in safe mode

MacBook Air 2010
When I update my OS X Lion to 10.7.3 Safari instantly stop working. When I open Safari it don't download any sites, just white screen and a colored round. In the same time WebProcess eat all my processor power. If I fully close safari webprocess still working with 100%. VLC and Skype don't work at all, it just jumping icon in the dock. I try to reinstall OS, but it doesn't help, when I recover OS with Time Machine Safari start working, but when I close it and try to open again I faced with same problem. I can use this apps only in Safe Mode

Sounds like an OS issue. Perhaps doing the same update may help you. Or, perhaps trashing Safari's prefs and re-opening the app would help.

L355 S7811 working only in Safe Mode

I have a Toshiba L355 S7811 laptop (Vista Home Premium). I've used it for several years now but lately, it will not boot to normal Windows but to Safe Mode with network support. If I try to load it normally, it resets itself but, using Safe Mode it works for hours.
I'd say that if it were a temperature problem it wouldn't work for hours in safe mode, right?
I tried to use the Recovery CDs (2) that came with the laptop and it loads the files but then resets, sometimes it will freeze with garbage on the screen while loading files from the recovery CD #1. Any suggestions?
If I reformat the HDD, will I still be able to use my Recovery CDs?
Thankyouallverymuch.

If you can reach the recovery environment, use this command at the command prompt.

Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?

I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.

Hi, seadarunner.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information on what you mean by your EarPods are not working to provide a better answer. However, here is an article that may help with this issue.

Well, during debugging an implicit COMMIT WORK is executed on a regular basis. This might cause the ITEM GUID to be created during debugging.
However, normally, after CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN, you should use the CRM_ORDER_SAVE as well. This will return a list of SAVED_OBJECTS. If all objects were saved correctly, do an explicit COMMIT WORK.
Works fine for us.....

Function Module working only in debug mode

Hi all,
The following Function Module works only in debug mode. The purpose of this FM is to create a notification and to put it in progress status. If I put a breakpoint before "CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_PUTINPROGRESS'" it works. If I execute this FM without putting a breakpoint at that place it creates the notification but doesnt put it in progress status.
In other words, the last BAPI call doesnot work if I dont put a breakpoint before.
Can somebody help me to find out where is the problem?
Thanks,
Younes

Hi Emmanuel,
Now I get your problem: you want to wait to have the commit finished! The call to BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT has an optional parameter 'WAIT' which is space by default which causes only a commit. When you set this parameter to 'X' it will do a commit work and wait.
This should solve your problem!

John.

It's a shame because apple is clearly the party that changed something.

My Macbook Pro keeps freezing/crashing after a few seconds of use, but works fine in safe mode.

I've researched this extensively, but I haven't been able to solve my problem yet.
It started completely out of the blue with a kernel panic, where my screen seemed to malfunction and I got the kernel panic message (but I could hardly read it because of distorted graphics). I forced my laptop to shut down, but every time I rebooted and used it again it would completely freeze after a while (the amount of time varied, it has lasted from a few seconds to a couple of hours). What happens essentially is that the cursor and entire OS freezes, and I'm unable to click on anything or use the keyboard. The fans start working full speed and the only thing I can do is force the laptop to shut down.
At first I thought it was a Chrome problem because it only happened after I opened the browser. After uninstalling it, the laptop seemed to work fine for a couple of hours, but then it froze again while I was using Safari. Ever since it has been functioning normally for smaller and smaller time periods before freezing again. I've tried reinstalling Snow Leopard OS from the original disc and then downloading all software updates, but the problem continues. I've also tried doing a hardware test by pressing D as the computer starts up, but for some reason it doesn't work.
The laptop, including Chrome and Safari, works fine in safe mode.
I'm sorry I don't know what specific information to give you about my laptop/OS, but please ask anything you need to know. I'd greatly appreciate any help — I'm panicking because I fly to England tomorrow morning to start university and I really don't want to go without a laptop for 2 weeks while it's getting fixed!

Snow leopard freezes but works fine in safe mode

I have been using snow leoprad and it hangs after login to the system (from the first one/two minutes). But it works well in safe mode . So far the things I have tried are - repair the disk permissions, verify the disk , created a new user account etc. But I'm not getting a soluion. Please help!!

Hmm, that's not good. Running out of "moving parts".
No third party add ons but works in safe mode only! Here's the apple article on what happens during a safe boot.
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Since third party stuff is rulled out you would think it would be one of the other things mentioned that may be corrupted. For example, /System/Library/Fonts, font cache. In other words, font related.
Not sure what to suggest at the moment and it's my bed time.
Maybe look at OnyX (Maintenance, Rebuild) and rebuild the dyld shared cache and look at other stuff in OnyX that might need rebulding (Cleaning, Fonts, delete font caches).

I'm using same apple ID on all 3 devices.
Before update to 10.8.4, i had no problems.
FaceTime also stopped working after update to 10.8.4.
Thanks in Advance,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

I was doing a cleanup on mackeeper just after I downloaded a trial version of microsoft office mac. The trial wouldn't work properly so I deleted it and decided to do a cleanup with mackeeper. than the mac froze while mackeeper was doing it's cleanup and the screen flashed black a few times. Ever since it won't boot up unless I use safe mode. Also, I downloaded the most recent updates while in safe mode but it doesn't seem to be recognizing that I already downloaded them because software update is still telling me that I have 6 updates. So I am horribly confused at this point. Please help, I need this laptop to do report cards (it's a good thing I got an extension). thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
The commands may line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V).
find /Sy*/L*/Ex* -type f -name Info.plist -exec sh -c '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$1" 2> /dev/null | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo ${1%*.kext/*}.kext' {} {} \;
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 3
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, these steps are all copy-and-paste — no typing. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Powerbook G4 will not boot normally, only in safe mode.

So...about a month ago I updated my powerbook with all the updates that were available, one of the updates was 10.5.8. I came back after the update had run for a while, and found my computer with a black screen, and a faint white bar towards the bottom of the screen. The computer wouldn't respond, and I was forced to do a manual shutdown. The computer would then not boot, instead finally resting on a light blue screen with an active mouse pointer after passing the gray apple screen.
In safe mode, I downloaded and installed the combo 10.5.8 update, but it made no difference.
I assumed it to obviously be a software issue, and so I backed up my info, and reinstalled Leopard. I then updated to 10.5.8 using the combo update. My computer functioned normally for about a week, and then froze, mouse responsive, but nothing else. After manual shutdown, same problem, computer started to blue screen with pointer.
Since that time I've reset the PRAM, run disk utility a million times (no errors), repaired permissions, all to no avail. I've run the Techtool diagnostics on it, and it found no hardware failures. The computer will not boot from an external hard drive, ruling out the HD.
I've replaced the RAM with different RAM, again will not boot. The computer boots without fail every time in safe mode.
History on my computer, one of my memory slots failed to recognize memory any longer, and my logic board was replaced a little less than 2 years ago while I still had applecare.
So to sum up:
Powerbook boots only in safe mode
Stays at blue screen with mouse pointer when booting
May work properly for a few days after erase and install of OS, but then fails again with same systems shortly thereafter
Any ideas???

Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test from DVD?
