    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Now on iOS 5.1.1 - Chinese Input STILL not working 3+ years later

    I have just updated to iOS 5.1.1 and after ONE day I already have to restore my iPad.  This is, of course, after reinstalling all kinds of apps and getting data back into my programs.
    I added several languages to the keyboard options but everytime I tried to change from English (the default) to another one (almost always Chinese Pinyin) it would crash.
    So I thought I had too many languages installed.  So I uninstalled every single one except English and Chinese Pinyin.
    The Chinese Pinyin would STILL crash.  So stupidly (I say this because Apple doesn't think to add "safety nets" to their bugs) I removed English and left ONLY Chinese Pinyin.
    Now when I go into ANY program and "click" on a text box, the app will crash.  Every single app (except Spotlight, strangely enough.)
    The worst part is, when I open Settings and go to Keyboard, the Settings app immediately crashes, so there is literally NOTHING I can do at this point.
    Here we are on iOS 5 and the problems with Chinese Input (and many other foreign languages) are NOT fixed.  Actually this seems to have gotten worse because now my iPad won't even function without a restore.
    This is disgusting.  I have read MANY complaints about this in ENGLISH forums.  Imagine the 10's of millions of Chinese people that have purchased iOS devices and are facing these problems.  I guess Apple is forcing them to type in English?  I guess Apple doesn't understand that just as many people type in Chinese as English?
    When is this going to be fixed? 
    Does anyone have a quick solution to access the Keyboard section of my Settings to "fix" the problem (remove Chinese Pinyin and live without it again)? 
    I use my iPad for 2 things: to read my school textbooks (mostly pdf format, using GoodReader which is an excellent program) and for studying Chinese.  Well guess I can't study Chinese.  Thanks for not fixing a problem that has been going on for 3+ years, Apple!  Glad I'm using an Android phone that doesn't have these kind of problems.  After the iPad dies, I will definitely switch to an Android tablet.  What a joke.

    I was having the same problem few minutes ago. Here's the solution I found. You have to do these settings in all your apple devices (ie: iPhone, iPad, etc). In your iPad: first got to Settings, then to messages (make sure iMessage slider button is ON), the go to Receive at, then in the apple ID you have to sign in with your full email address (not your short apple ID) the same one you use in iCloud, iTunes, etc, then after you put your password your are sign in with your iMessage account.
    After that go to You can be reached for messages at, and then enter you full email address and since you are already signed in your email address will be verified in your device. In you iPhone use your cell number instead an email address since most of your contacts know your phone number, but you have a choice to use your email address instead with your phone. So it's up to you what you wanna use.
    Rememeber you also have to do this same procedure with Facetime to work with all you devices. To test Facetime i called my iPhone with my new iPad and voila...it worked. Good luck trying these settings.

  • Problem with Zhuyin input in Mountain Lion

    Zhuyin input from Lion to Mountain Lion is uncomfortably differently. If you type a wrong word by mistake the dictionary would remember the wrong word and you could not override the auto-fix by typing the right word like in Lion. For example, if I type AB instead of AA (assuming both A and B are Chinese characters), then the Zhuyin system remembers AB indefinitely, unlike in Lion I could just type AA a few times and it would become the primary choice/fix for dictionary. Can anyone verse with Zhuyin help me on this matter?

    Actually, the new Zhuyin input in Mountain Lion is totally broken to me. Not only the behavior that you point out, but more importantly (at least for me) is that you MUST type tones to find the proper character, and if you ever make a mistake in a chain, you have to start again from scratch. You cannot type "toneless" chains anymore, like "ㄨㄟㄕㄣㄇㄜ", this is just stupid. I've learned by ear, and like many Taiwanese (though I'm not one ^^), I don't know exactly which tone to type. I've read somewhere that the new pinyin input in Mountain Lion had the opposite behavior : tones are ignored (or something like that).
    I've already sent Apple a report through their feedback form, the day after Mountain Lion's release. 10.8.1 is out, nothing has changed at all. So I've sent them another report.
    I don't know what's wrong with Apple there, I don't get why they had to break a perfectly working input.
    If you're experiencing a problem, please send them a report here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    It seems like it's the only way to make things move, and if I'm alone, they'd probably not listen to me ^^

  • The os x lion does not have the Dayi Pro Chinese input method anymore, help!

    After I install the OS X Lion, I found out they cancel the Dayi Pro Chinese input method which they used to have in the previous OS version.  And the Traditonal Chinese writting pad is not working, can anyone help?

  • Simplified Chinese input problem

    I recently update mac air, but the simplified Chinese input is disabled. Can someone help please?
    Thank you!

    Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and try deleting your Chinese input sources.  Then restart and try adding them back in.
    A further approach is to reinstall you OS.

  • Problems I've found in Lion

    These are some of the problems I've encountered in Lion so far using it in my Mac Mini Mid 2010:
    1. Screen Sharing is broken from the iPad (sometimes it works and sometimes don't). It may need iPad apps updates, this was working fine in Leopard. I use Mocha VNC abd VNC Viewer. Both apps freezes and won't let the user input the computer password (not the VNC pass but the one needed to log on to the computer), once the app connects with the computer via VNC. In VNC Viewer I have managed to input 3 or 4 letters, then it freezes.
    2. Windows File sharing is having problems. The PC sees the mac, but not always can copy files to it or the other way around, this was working fine in Leopard. It may be a permissions problems, but at least it should let me copy files from the Mac to the PC.
    3. I can't see the Mac as a Network share from any of my media players (WDTV Live, Xtreamer Pro). If I try to search the mac using the IP address, the media players find the mac, but when I input the correct log in information, the credentials are never accepted (even thought I enter them correctly), this was working fine in Leopard.
    4. IMPORTANT: The computer case gets too HOT even if there are no activity at all. I have to place an external fan to the case so it gets warmer.Temperatures can go to the 70-74c,  this was working fine in Leopard.
    5. I've seen weird pixel distortions coming from the cursor from time to time, like a thick line of pixels in colors, this I can't make it to reproduce because it's random. Sometimes it happens when I restart or shut down the computer. I've seen the same color pixels from Google Chrome while loading pages.
    6. The scroll bars don't disappear when I use stack folders from the dock, they just dim. This feature should be consistent.
    7. This is not a bug: What is the real use of the Launch Pad, if I have the Dock with all the apps I need? In the iOS the dock does not duplicate the apps in folders or "finder". I think the Launch Pad should have a different version of the Dock, letting the user drag an icon to this Dock to avoid having duplicated icons. I am not really using this feature at all, it is cool, but not so useful for me, so far.

    Well there’s no point in posting that list here. Apple aren’t here. This is a User to User forum and Apple do not promise to read anything here. To communicate with Apple try
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    But do this please. The more folks complain the better the chances that your concerns will be addressed.
    However: This is not a bug
    11) No way to delete an EVENT, for photos I want to stay in my library but be in an album and not an event.
    This is absolutely intended behaviour. Events are simply a view of your Library. Every photo must be in the Library, so every photo must be in an Event. So, to be available for use in an Album the photos must be visible in both the Library views: Events and Photos. This has been the case since Rolls back in iPhoto 1, every pic had to be in a Roll, and rolls are just a view of the Library.
    Can't get rid of the event intuitively.
    Just trash the photos therein.
    You worry if you delete the photos from the event to get an empty event (which I think will make the event go away) there is a persistent fear that your are deleting the actual photos from the library.
    You’re right to worry: you are.
    Far better to highlight an EVENT and press delete; you are then deleting the EVENT but not the photos in the event.
    This is never the case. Delete and Event, you delete the contents.
    As to why your photos are not geo-tagged on export, are you checking the option to Include Location Information?

  • Bug in Chinese input (Pinyin Simplified)

    Hello, I think I've found a bug in the OS' language input for Chinese input. It just doesn't seem to like writing the combination of letters 'zhe'. This is really annoying, as these letters spell the Mandarin for 'This', amongst other things, so I want to use it quite a lot. Every time I try to write 'zhe' using 'Pinyin- Simplified' it works fine for the first two letters, then when I type 'e' it beachballs and then just writes the English letter 'e' instead of giving me a choice of characters spelt 'zhe'. The 'zh' just disappears. Any more writing is just rendered in the English alphabet, despite the symbol for Pinyin- Simplified being displayed on the menu bar, unless I switch out and in of input languages. Resetting in this way doesn't cure the problem. This only seems to happen for 'zhe' as far as I can discover - 'zhou', 'zhi' 'zhang' etc. render in Chinese just fine.
    Perhaps someone could test this on their machine, and let me know whether it's a problem with my computer or the OS, and give me suggestions on how to fix it, if possible? I'd be grateful for any help.

    I can't duplicate your problem with 这 or 你。But I am only on 10.6.3.

  • Why my chinese input app fails?

    When I switch from English Input to Chinese Input, I can't input anything to several apps including Mails, QQ, Evernote.
    But I can input Chinese in Chrome and other apps.
    Not only character keys are disabled, number keys and delete key are also disabled.

    Thanks for your attention.
    It works well in TextEdit.
    I've tried Simplified Pinyin (the original Chinese IM included in OS) and Sogou Pinyin IM, but neither work.
    Til now, only Mails, QQ and Evernote are affected. However, if I set English IM before I open QQ app and switch to Chinese IM after QQ's setup, Chinese IM becomes OK. But this doesn't appear in Mails and Evernote.
    I tried to create a new account but the same problem appears.

  • Why did my Chinese input disappeared in Input Source and Keyboard Preferences?

    I was using Chinese input fine up until last night. It disappered all of a sudden this morning from the Input menu.  I also couldn't find it in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources. Can someone please help me to get it back?  I have OS X 10.9.1.  Thanks~

    I have the same problem. 
    New account or guest account can see all the input source
    I deleted ~/Library/Preferences/*.plist from my user account but the problem still exists

  • I can't type with Chinese Input Methods in Mail and Notes

    Today I suddenly can't type/input any word or character in Mail and Notes
    when the input method switches to any Chinese input method like Zhuyin, Yahoo KeyKey and Bopomofo.
    Even the cursor won't move when I press the " ↑↓←→"
    The keyboard just doesn't work from " ` " to "→" when it comes to Chinese input methods.
    However,
    the keyboard works well as soon as I switch to English input method and I can type English in Mail and Notes.
    I can type with any Chinese input methods in Chrome, TextEdit, Reminder, iPhoto, Contacts,......etc..
    Is there something wrong with Mail and Notes?
    Could anyone help me solve the problem?
    Thank you!

    Thank you, Tom.
    I have posted my issue there and hope for the best
    btw,
    I had the same problem (cannot input any word and move the cursor with Chinese input methods) in Evernote.
    Evernote Support helped me solve it.
    Here is how it works (for Evernote only).
    Ticket # 16051-XXXXX
    We believe that reinstalling the latest Mac version may address the issue that you reported. Please perform the following steps:
    Quit Evernote from the elephant icon in the Menu Bar
    Drag the Evernote application to the system Trash
    Reboot your Mac
    Download and install the latest version of the Mac client:
    http://www.evernote.com/about/download/get.php?file=EvernoteMac
    When you open the download, make sure to drag the Evernote icon into the Applications folder instead of running it from within the installer package.
    Eject the disk image and delete the installer file before you runEvernote.
    Let us know how this works for you.
    Thank you.

  • IPhone 4 problems syncing with iCal in Lion

    I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1,  and a Macbook Pro with OS 10.7.2 and itunes 10.5.1. Every time I plug my iphone into the Macbook, it launches itunes and does a sync, but then it gives me a "Sync Conflict" message. It tells me there are 2 conflicts, and these are always the same two Ical items which i have recently changed on my iphone. It asks me how I want to resolve them, and when I click on "using iPhone" and then OK, the message goes away, but the sync does not work and the message pops up again every 5 minutes. I've tried using the iCal items, same problem.
    One detail: About a month ago, i had a brief stint where I tried using ICloud, but I found that all of my ical events were doubled and even tripled and it was a huge mess. I kept having to delete events that were repeated, and they kept coming back. I deleted iCloud and stoped using it. Not sure if this is relevant.
    Another detail, I just switched to Lion about a week ago, I was using OS 10.6 before and never had this problem. Seriously considering uninstalling Lion.

    Hey,
    I have the same issue only I went from a widows 7 OS to a Vista OS to backup mine.
    This seems to be a common fault since the new update of 4.3.3, as there are several people who have done the same as you and I but on several windows OS.
    Therefore one can conclude its not a fault with windows but may lie in the iPhone update.
    Also I have seen a patten in that its the personal computers of the iPhone owner that wont work, yet someone else's system with work just fine?
    Still hopefully there is more to come to resolve this issue.

    I found an answer.  It's a problem with time machine.  If you disable it it should stop.  I am manually turning it on when I connect since I don't stay connected to that hd all the time.  I haven't had the message since.

  • Chinese input in Gnome via scim

    I really love this distrobution. Its fast lean and mean. However, I am having trouble with Chinese fonts and especially Chinese input via scim. I have installed the required packages, but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have clear, step-by-step instructions to install and configure scim with both Traditional and Simplified characters? I believe that any clear instructions for setting up Chinese input via scim would also benefit other non-native English speakers, as, scim provides an input system for a variety of languages including Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc... Just an idea for the Arch maintainers... Relatively hassle-free internationalization IS a good idea.
