Possible fix for Gmail not syncing after recent update

Hey all,
I've seen at least one person on the forums who's had issues with their Gmail not syncing after the latest update. I thought I would pass along my solution to the problem in case it worked for others. After I updated to the latest version of the iPhone software a couple of days ago, my mail accounts from Gmail were behaving strangely. For one thing, all of my saved e-mails on the iPhone were deleted. For another, it no longer received any e-mail from those accounts. Finally, I decided to test it out by creating a new e-mail account on my iPhone to sync with a disused Gmail address that I had not yet set up for IMAP on my phone. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! Then, after I checked the details of the new e-mail account with those of my existing accounts, I discovered that the incoming server port number was incorrect on the other accounts. It was 995 when it ought to have been 993. When I corrected the port numbers, all of the accounts synced perfectly. I hope that might work for someone else. It was at least worth a post on the forums, I figured. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day, everyone!

Fantastic! Worked a treat - thanks!

M4b files will not sync after recent update

I recently updated the software on my ipod touch 4th gen. After updating, I tried to sync my playlists, but not all of the files would sync. After some investigation, I figured out that the files that wouldn't sync were audio books in m4b format. They synced just fine before the update. What is the problem here?

Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

IPhone 3G will not sync after recent update to software

I began a sync for my phone and new software was available and I allowed the update. Now my iPhone 3GS will not sync. continues to give an Unknown Error -39. What do I do?

HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

"UPAD lite?"
I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My imessage is not Working after recent update

My daughters iMessage & FaceTime no longer work after recent update, can anybody help please?

It's mostly a server issue because millions of users are trying to do the same. Apple's servers get bogged down. Try waiting a bit - a day - before trying again. You can also check out this for other things to try.

When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours. How can this be fixed?

I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently. I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied" I have tried everything to correct this. When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated. Any ideas????

Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

Ntlmaps not running after recent update. (FIXED)

FIXED - Ended up re-writing MAKEPKG, depends, modified patches file and new MD5 sums to build on Python 2.7. Instructions below for anyone who needs them. Cheers - Arkay.
Hi All,
I use ntlmaps in conjunction with corkscrew to create ssh tunnels out through my work proxy to my home network. It's always worked perfectly fine until a recent pacman -Syu.
From looking into it as much as I can it appears that Python 3 has been pulled into the mix where ntlmaps appears only to work with python 2.
In the original effort to fix it I updated to the latest MAKEPKG in the AUR which also doesn't seem to work with either version of Python.
I've attempted to debug the issues in Python though my knowledge of the language is sorely lacking.
The initial error I get is:
File "/usr/bin/ntlmaps", line 31
print 'NTLM authorization Proxy Server v%s' % conf['GENERAL']['VERSION']
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
But the code block above appears ok to me. On further investigation (running it line by line in interactive mode), it appeared to be the includes causing the issue at which point I found dos line endings on all the code in the site-python ntlmaps code. After removing all of them and converting back to unix eol's (didn't seem to really make a difference), I still get the same syntax errors. Further looking finds includes to libraries which possibly no longer exist or are depreciated in python 3. "threads" seems to be the main offender, according to the doco it is depreciated but should still work (tm).
I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do next. I've tried swapping to cntlm but for some reason our proxy won't allow the connections through the way ntlmaps does.
I also just tried to re-install it with aurget. The makepkg worked but the install script failed with:
Byte compiling python modules...
error: command failed to execute correctly
Looking into that now too...
Any help would be much appreciated. Perhaps someone else can attempt to install and run it on their system.
Cheers,
Arkay.
P.S. My system is i686, recently updated.
P.P.S. Apologies to the mods. This should most likely be in the PKGBUILD forms... Please move and remove this P.P.S

Ok. For some reason I haven't (yet) been able to get the PKGBUILD working with python 3.

Backup disk for Time Machine not available after recent update.

Please Help!!!
I just did and automatic update that consisted of about 6 items, now my external hard drive is not even recognized! Long story short, Time Machine can not find my external to do a backup.
I have already done all the unplugging and restarting and searching for the disk... Nothing!
Plugged in, my external is Lit and seemingly functioning.
There has GOT to be an easy fix for this one!
Again, HELP!
=Marc

Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
Boot from your recovery partition (Mac OS X 10.7 or later) or from your installation disc, and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Address book contacts lost & will not re-sync after recent update

I updated my iphone to the latest software version , in doing so i lost all my contacts on the phone ( I use Entourage) & now when I sync the contacts are not sync'ing to the iphone. I have followed the instructed measures of checking the appropriate boxes in sync/re-sync preferences but no results. I have restored phone in i-tunes, even in the advanced setting tried to "replace information on phone" by checking contacts, with no results.

Just discovered something - I think.
It appears as though the most recent contact entered always gets dropped off and missed at synch time.
Is this a know issue?

Firefox will not open after recent update of all computer lab servers, Windows server 2008 R2, Multipoint 2011

All 3 computer lab servers were recently updated and rebooted. Java was updated as well to 7u21. Now all 3 do not respond when Firefox icon is clicked, from any thin-client or remote desktop session/user. There is no popup error, just an hour-glass for about 5 seconds and then nada. IE is fine. I can't tell if it was the java update or a windows security update, and I'm not seeing anything in the error logs

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update. Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Lightening to HDMI not working after recent update

I recently updated my Ipad and now my Lightening to HDMI adapter does not seem to work. It was working fine up until the most recent update. I know that the HDMI cable works and all the other connections are fine b/c it works fine when plugged into our blu-ray player.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know how to fix this issue?

What recent update? The last Epson R220 update for non intel Macs was 08/19/10: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=60202&prodoid=58654 761&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh&x=21&y=13
What happens when you click on the EPSON Printer Utility which should be inside the Utility folder? Have you tried repairing permissions and restarting your computer? Have you read Epson's user manual and/or contacted their tech support?
I also have the R220 model. Besides using their drivers, I also use the Gimp drivers: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Push for Exchange not working after MMS update

The update for MMS actually went ok for me. And yes, I'm experiencing the same battery decrease everyone else is commenting on (very frustrating). But has anyone else had a problem with their exchange emails not coming through? Seems like right after the update, I actually have to go into my mail folder to "force" my emails through. I'd rather have this working then picture texts! Can someone please help??? Thanks!

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.

My 5th Gen iPod Touch will not sync after I updated my iTunes

Right after I updated my iTunes on my PC, it will no longer sync anything. My apps, my music, everything won't sync.
It just says that I can't sync because I need more space (8.30GB to be exact). But before I updated my iTunes, everything was fine. The thing is I want my iTunes and iPod to synchronize with each other without losing anything.
Can someone help me?
Also, my OS is already iOs 7.1

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync? It appears not.

LR Mobile stopped syncing and still isn't syncing after recent updates! Please help!!

Running LR 5.6 on my iMac and LR Mobile on my iPad and iPhone.
The syncing worked for the most part... sometimes I had to delete the cache on my desktop to trigger syncing but nothing works to make the LR sync.
I have created new collections in LR on desktop and marked them to sync with LR Mobile, at the same time I stopped syncing some other collections... My Web and iPad collections have not updated. They show the collections for which the syncing was turned off in LR Desktop. I can't get it to sync. Please help. My perfect photo workflow is broken now.
And by the way, all my apps on iPhone and iPad are up to date.

Could you please send me a LR Desktop diagnostig log - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link.
You can trigger the log via LR Desktop preferences -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button.
Thanks
