Problems with monitor/resolution after software update

I installed the latest security update tonight, and now my monitor no longer properly works with my mini. I have a Dell 2005FPW. I was using 1680x1050 resolution with no problems. When I rebooted after the update, I noticed my resolution had been changed... and now the mac only detects my display as a "VGA display" and I can't select that resolution any more! The monitor still works fine with my PC.
How can I get my 1680x1050 back??

Do you have a KVM switch to share your monitor between your Mac and your PC? I was getting this problem when I got one of these so my new Mac could share my monitor etc with my old one but found a way round it. In System Preferences -> Displays, tick the 'Show displays in menu bar' box. Then click on 'Detect displays' from the drop down menu. The screen will go blue for a moment and the computer will recognise the monitor for what it is.

Problem with iphone4 music after software update

Updated software on my iphone 4 on 3/22/13. Now, my entire music library on my phone is in icloud format and must be downloaded. Discovered this while flying cross country. Grrrr.
Why did this happen and - more to the point - how can i get my music library to sync normally again so it's simply on my phone and ready to play?
Thanks.

I phoned my provider as requested and they have advised me that it is necessary to send my brand new phone in for repair. I honestly don't know if they have opened a support ticket. I do thank you for your prompt assistance thus far, however, I am none too impressed with this situation. I hope the next software update doesn't cause more problems, so far the phone isn't worh the contract it's written for when it comes to user friendliness, app availability, or user options. I was hoping for better from BlackBerry this time around.

Problems with LG Enact after software update to KitKat

After the update, I seem to have
1) Battery charging issues. Problems charging past 96% (or at least appears that way on the notifications bar on my phone). Have had to unplug and/or restart phone to complete the charge and sometimes it doesn't always work.
2) Slower 4G speeds. Often going down to 3G or 1X
3) Phone seems sluggish overall going from app to app and also when typing on the keyboard
4) Freezing when using wifi or phone data plan.
I've googled these problems and appears that other phones have been having one or more of these issues as well. Any ideas on how to fix these issues?

If you've googled, then you likely have seen some of the suggested "fixes". Have you tried:
1) Check your network settings - be sure it'[s set to LTE/CDMA - I've noticed that updates and resets on my phones tend to revert to Global which results in glitchy behavior, at least for me. Resetting to LTE/CDMA and restarting helps.
2) Run a system cache clear, it won't affect any of your data or setting but WILL clear up unused fuiles and processes that may be slowing things down and causing the sluggishness you see.
Performing a wipe cache partition removes any temporary files that may be causing an issue with the device. All personal files and settings are not affected by this option.
Power the device off.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Down button then press the Power button.
When presented with the Boot Mode Selection Menu, release all buttons.
Press Volume Down button to select 'Recovery' then press the Volume Up button.
From the Droid triage screen:
Press and hold the Volume down button.
Press and release the Volume up button.
Release the Volume down button.
Select wipe cache partition then press the Power button.
Use Volume keys to navigate options.
Select reboot system now then press the Power button.
Use Volume keys to navigate options.
3) FDR - Factory Data Reset - be sure all your contacts, photos, etc are backed up - if you use Google to store contacts and auto back up photos and music it should already be backed up. Once you do the reset, restore from Google, and selectively reinstall your apps. This is a last resort, but it can clear out a lot of accumulated gunk.
Hope this helps.

Problems with Storm 9530 after software update

Greetings, I am new to this forum and hope I am in the right place.
After an email prompt from BlackBerry, Yesterday, I updated my software on my Verizon BlackBerry Storm, 9530.
Now I have several problems;
1. Voice commands are not being recognized as easily as previously, making hands free calling almost impossible.
2. Pandora will stall near the end of each selection. The song will resume after I push the pause and then the play button.
3. When I attempt to live stream from a local radio station, I get the following message: "! This playlist contains no valid songs"    Buffering... is displayed in the upper right hand corner, but no connection is ever made.
Any ideas what I need to do to fix the thing?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
1) A known bug...we all hope that RIM is working on a fix.
2) A known bug...Pandora is working on a fix. I have heard that it is available on their website but not yet via AppWorld.
3) Very difficult to diagnose...it could be the website itself...it could be your device browser settings....it could be a number of things. Try these steps.
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Websites can be coded to perform better with some browsers rather than others. The BB Browser can appear to websites as several different things...that setting is, from within the Browser App, (BBKey > Options > Browser Configuration > Browser Identification). Changing that to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites. In combination with all of the other configuration settings, you need to find the combination of all of these settings that works best for the sites you are visiting. Sadly, there is no "best advice" to give as each persons needs are different. But, I typically find that changing the Browser Identification often helps -- most often by changing to FF or IE (if those are available to you...the options vary by carrier).
Hopefully something in there will get you going again.
Good luck!

Hey iftekhar,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

Problem With MuVo V200 after software upd

Hi
Today I buy a MuVo Gb,
I check that the software ver. in the MP3 player
was old.
I download the file "MuVoV200_PCFW_LF__2_03.exe"
and installede the file, No problem
After the update I can NOT turn-on the mp3 player,
and the pc can NOT see the MP3 in the USB port.
So it is DEAD. Have can i wake-up the mp3 player ? again
Regard
Arne

From the website, download and install the Mass Storage Drivers.
Then, press and hold the Play button while connecting your player to the USB port of your PC. This is connecting your V200 in what is called Recovery Mode.
Keep pressing the Play button until the New Hardware Wizard starts.
Complete the wizard.
When finished reload the firmware. If it doesn't work with the latest version then try one of the earlier version linked to in the thread in my signature line.

Problems with Games Center after latest update

Dear All
I have never used, or wanted to use, the 'Games Center' pre-installed on my iPhone. After the recent software update I now find that all my games have shifted themselves into this utility such that everything greets me with 'welcome back....' etc. I didn't want this but figured it was unavoidable. I have the 'Inception' app - I bought it when it first came out and have all the dreams associated with it (except 'Africa') which takes some time and effort. I opened it yesterday and all the dreams have simply disappeared, likewise 'achievements' in Angry Birds (not that I know what they are anyway).
PLEASE, PLEASE someone... how do I remove games from the clutches of the Games Center and get my old games back - especially the 'dreams' in Inception which has really p....d me off since I love using that app!
Thank you....
Karen

Possible solution here...
I have an aggregate of two interfaces with 16 channels. I can address now all inputs an outputs, but the slave interface doesn't meter anything and i don't hear anyting on the outputs routed to the slave interface. Also some debug output is printk'ed:
AM824NuDCLRead::Start() failed: 0xe0008020
Finally, after a night long research, it is working as proposed.
My setup now en detail:
Mac Book Pro 2,4Ghz/3GB RAM/OSX 10.5.4
2 lynx aurora 8 / LTFW
1 Lynx / Internal Clock
2 Lynx /External Clock (via 75 ohm cable)
Uplink of the devices with a gold fw cable.
Link to the 1394a port via gold cable to the mac book.
I use an aggrgate of two devices 16/IN 16/OUT.
Problem was:
No sound on the slave Interface.
Problems that i found out:
Never run pppd via WLAN in the background.
A crosseffect letting the Systems Panel die and the devices are not accessbible.
After turning off wlan (dectivate) the interfaces are accessible again.
A weird crosseffect i mean.
Problem in the Audio-Midi Setup -> aggregate device:
BE SURE TO SELECT THE MASTER INTERFACE AT FIRST, OTHERWISE THE PLIST FILE IS WRONG, SINCE THE CLOCK HAS ALSWAYS ID 0 IN THE PLIST FILE.
IF SELECTING THE SLAVE FIRST AND THEN SELECT THE MASTER CLOCK, THE PLIST FILE IS WRONG. CAUSE THE MASTER CLOCK IS THE SLAVE AND HAS ID 1 , WHICH IS ACTUALLY WRONG.
Hidden File with aggr. config: /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
To view copy the file in your home dir in the console like: cp /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist ~/test.plist.
Open the property list editor and select Your home directory.
View the properties.
SO, SELECT THE FIRST DEVICE AS MASTER CLOCK AND THEN THE RIGHT INTERFACE HAS ID 0. THEN SELECT THE SECOND ONE.
NO TROUBLES IN THE KERNEL ANYMORE. NO ATCP TIMEOUTS:-))
This solutions works for me now.

Problem with external HDD after installing updates in Mac os X 10.5 leopard

Hi,
I just went out to the store and bought a copy of the leopard.
I installed it with nothing attached to the computer. Everything went fine.
When I went to update the software I had two packages there that I updates, so I had to restart the computer. when it started again it indicated that it had problems with my Iomega Ultramax 1tb disk. It says that disk repair failed and that I only have limited access to the disk. and since it's ALOT of data on the disk, I don¨t rally got the tools to copy everything to another location and then erase the disk and copy everything back. So does anyone know if there's a solution to this.
I'd be really happy to get a solution on this,
thanks alot.
Rich

When I'm using disk utility and use "verify disk" I get the following message:
"First Aid failed
Disk utility stopped verifying "UltraMax" because the following error was encountered.
Filesystem verify or repair failed."

MAC LED lights three times with clicking noice after Software Update

Hi all!!! I am a new Mac user. As recommended i have been regularly updating my OS (software updates). After updating, as mentioned, the MAC restarts. But during restart it tries to restart three times (the LED light on the bottom right corner lights u

I'm a bit confused here so I hope to clear things up in your post.
You're Device is listed as Z10 (unless you've updated within the last 2wks of this post).
Mac Desktop?
- did you mean BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac?
- or did you mean Z10 BB10 OS updated to 10.1? (which provider)
If on Z10 you mean you updated to 10.1 I hope you're not using a leaked BB10.1 release (that's going to cause you nothing but issues down the road if you're not sure what you're doing, trust me i thought I did myself lol).
Keyboard:
Have you checked in Settings > Keyboard for any entries you custom added or shortcuts that auto correct? If you're not sure you can clear them ALL out, close your apps on your Z10 and retry say an email with a paragraph and see if that fixes it?

TS2771 itouch stopped working with Bose sounddock after software update 5.1.1

Have an iTouch that used to work well with Bose SoundDock. Then updated iTouch software to version 5.1.1 and as usual apple ITouchOS now does not recognize the Bose SoundDock at all now. Error message iTouch does not support this accessory. What the heck? How to fix? Buying new dock is not solution. iTouch is gen 4.

You can try the standard fixes:
Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
- If still the problem then it appears that the iOS update broke the compatibility. That happens sometimes. In that case you have to wait for an update from either Apple or Bose.
- Also, use the communities search box in the upper right and search for. bose. I think other users had same problem. It is hard to remember the dock manufacturer.

Is anyone having problems with i message after newest update?

since i updated my iphone to the newest 5.1 my imessage isnt working properly.. it will sometimes let me imessage certain people and other times not i was wondering if anyone is having the same problem or knows how to fix it. I have the iphone 4s but i am in europe and i am basically using it as an ipod because it doesnt currently have service. This problem is happening when i am connected to wifi so the imessaging should work...
any thoughts?

Yes, the US-122 is a usb interface. I have been using it for several years now.
I have had no problems until this last OS update, which also included an iTunes update that I have heard folks are having burning problems with.
I can SEE the signal going in (in the sys prefs meters), as well as in LE's meters, but no sound comes out of my monitors. Yet I CAN play songs in iTunes and pre-recorded tracks in LE7 and GB, without problems at all, as well as any other audio from online sources and from the OS, like alerts, etc. It is only audio straight from the US-122 that does not make a sound.
I find it so odd that the OS Sys prefs show a signal, yet no sound is present, while all other apps produce sound as usual.
I have repaired permissions, and have reset SOUND and AUDIO/MIDI setting severals times.
I USED to be able to play guitar through my Vox ToneLab, connected directly to the US-122 into the Mac, whether I was using LE7 or GB or neither. Now I get NOTHING from it at all (aside from the OS meters), no matter what.
I'd suspect a cable if not for the signal in the meters, and the sound from every other audio app, including pre-recorded LE7 & GB stuff.
I have had minor problems in the past, but never anything like this.

Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
- Ipod Touch user from australia
- went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
- The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
- Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
- Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
- The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance!

Hi pdra05,
Do you manually manage your music?
iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

Problems with my first ever software update..

this is a new imac, purchased 3 weeks ago. i have been instructed to perform the usual 'Software Update' (clicking on apple icon - choosing Software Update)
as expected i am told that the computer needs to restart to install the update. i click restart and the little download bar comes up and it goes part of the way but then stops and won't go any further. i end up having to restart the computer by holding down the power button and i HATE doing this.
i knew the initial software update would take a while, but i have even left it overnight on a couple of occasions with the same result...
any ideas??

Hello,
Try deleting this file: com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
You will find it here; /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
Go to System Preferences (Applications folder) and click Software Updates. Click the Scheduled Check tab. Then click: Check Now.
If you still can't install updates from the Software Update window, make note of the name of the update, then go to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2319?viewlocale=en_US Scroll down to where you see;
"Using Standalone Installers" .. then click the the Apple Support Downloads link.
Tip. *Always run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities folder) and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER all software updates.*
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
