Recent Pandora update did NOT fix a glaring problem

The problem being when you lock your Touch (screen blanked) while playing Pandora, you'll hear about 5-10 audio dropouts per minute. The only solution for the time being is to keep the screen active (I dim mine way down to minimum). Pandora IS aware of the problem--I trust they will get us another update with that issue fixed.

You are mixing EFI and SMC and just... ranting!
Keep the temperature down, and fan speed up, to keep things running cool.

Will give you some idea of what goes on under the hood.
People often recommend or practice "repair permissions" when what they need is to weed the clutter in their cache folder, or 'take out the trash' or something else. Changing the oil isn't going to help if you need brake fluid (even though its usually a good part of regular maintenance).
Applying EFI update on some systems did 'break' or alter USB behavior though, so there was a lot of changes - had I known more, I might have waited even longer before applying.
luckily both systems seem to be working... knock on wood...

TS3899 I have upgrade my to iOS7 and my company recently upgrade to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can see all of my sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.

You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

2.1 Update did not fix SMS tone issue

I have been having the text tone issue as many others have. That problem being that when a text is recieved the phone will only vibrate. The 2.1 update did not fix the issue...imagine that.

Hi. You're the first person who has posted about the phone only vibrating when getting text messages. Can you tell me more of the problems you are experiencing when receiving texts? I ask because I exchanged my phone twice already because after a certain number of texts, the audio alert for text messages stops and only vibrates. I thought it was the phone so Apple exchanged it but I'm still experiencing the same problem with this third phone.

Verizon ellipsys update did not fix the app memory problem!

The Verizon update for the ellipsys did not fix the original issue with the storage of apps on the device. The update gave you the capability to move apps to your tablet space; but, the device's pre installed apps cannot be moved. Those apps take up roughly 500mb of the allotted 1gb of space.
This tablet was meant for my parents to use and they can't be sitting here umistalling and disabling preinstalled apps just to use there tablet.
Please include in the next update a reallocation of memory for more app storage space. I have already moved all available apps over to the tablet space: I have 4 gigs open on their tablet and only 200mb for apps? Crazy sauce...

I called Verizon 2nd level tech support and they assured me there is NO ED06 update's said they haven't even finished rolling out ED05 yet. I think they just told you that to get you off the phone. I also have a Fascinate and have had problems and can't get them to replace my phone with a different device. I want the Droid Charge since it is the only other one that has the AMOLED screen that I originally chose the Fascinate for . They had a program that ended on July 28th the day that ED05 rolled out. They offered the Droidx, the Incredible 2, and the Droid Charge to replace the Fascinates that were having trouble. I had called to report my issues during this replacement program but was not told that it was going on and now they won't give me the Droid Charge because it has expired. I think since there are STILL issues-they need to bring this program back and allow us to get a different phone. I have been a customer of Verizon for 10 years and have 7 lines so I am REALLY disappointed that they can't work with me (or other customers ) especially since it is not something we did to the phone. It is a problem with either Verizon or Samsung. I don't know where to go from here but maybe if they hear enough from others that didn't have any success with ED05 they will start to replace them. I will probably go to a higher level to voice my concern. Let me know if anyone has any success getting a new device especially the Droid Charge.

Have to force-quit Mail - Update did not fix

The update seemed to fix all of the issues I had with SL, except for the spinning wheels in Mail, and that Mail will not quit without a force-quit. It will even cancel a restart. Am I the only one left with this issue?

Problem
Here is what is happening. Btw I am using a Dutch version so my apologies if I translate menu-options wrong.
Mail is opened at startup. When I want to quit (CMD-Q) mail, nothing happens and the program gets in a sort of wait state. The system doesn't say that mail is not responding anymore. When I open the Mail-menu several options are greyed-out, including the CMD-Q as if the program is waiting for something. After waiting 15 minutes still the same and the only way to end mail is by using the force quit option.
If Mail is opened and I use the red X to close the window it isn't possible to open it anymore. Stopping the normal way isn't possible either and I am in the same situation as above and need to force-quit Mail.
If I leave Mail open and want to shutdown the computer I have to force quit Mail, because otherwise I cannot shutdown anymore.
*Solutions I've tried*
Using the Rebuild menu-option doesn't help.
I have downloaded the complete 10.6.2 dmg-file and re-installed it. This seemed to fix the problem, at least for a little while. But unfortunately after a day the same problem came back
How can this be possible?
Is there anyone out there who has the same problem and knows how to fix this? Would it help to re-install the mailprogram? How do I do this?
This is happening on the new computer of my father. I have convinced him to make the switch from Windows, but this situation is making me feel a bit embarrassed

Yosemite 10.10.1 update did not fix my wifi issue, did it fix yours??

The discussion about wifi issues is nothing new since Yosemite came out. Today I installed the latest update (10.10.1) which was to help with wifi issues such as your wifi dropping. I have tried every remedy that has been posted and nothing has worked. I constantly have to re-connect to my wifi network while on my computer. I guess I will sit patiently until this is resolved. I was excited to see the new update but after downloading and installing it, I see that nothing has changed. I have an iMac (2013) and have never had internet issues until I installed Yosemite. I hope the update helps you but it didn't help me.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a secure network on my MB air with OS X Yosemite?
Any ideas?
In the pervious OS version when you create a network on from the WIFI icon on the top of the desktop, there are
1) network name
2) channel
3) type of password
4) key in password.
Now with OS X yosemite, there is only
1) network name
2) channel
When the network is created there is not IP.
I am trying to use "airserver" a third party app to help project my iPad air to my MB air.
I am trying to do this when I am conducting the class and I would like to record my lesson.
Please advise.
My way of getting around this is to use Airport Express and create my own network that link MB air and iPad air.
But i do not want to look like a gadget guys and bring so many hardware to class... haha...
Hope someone have an alternative.
Cheers,
Andy

10.1 Update Did Not Fix Sending Email Issue!

after waiting for like forever for AT&T to release 10.1.0.2019, i heard rumors that it would fix the issue i was having with emails not sending while connected to WIFI but will send when not on WIFI. well i am still having the same problem with 10.1 and have to disconnect from WIFI in order to send emails (not fun).
in addition, i have already checked and my POP and SMTP ports [are not] blocked when connected to WIFI. so what the heck is going on here?! argh.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you able to do anything else while your WIFI examples are like surfing the net facebook twitter etc ?
yes i can do everything else just fine on WIFI.
i am not using my home ISP, but i will try that when i get home.
i have already been down this road with BB Support asking me to connect at a coffee shop, restaurant, etc, etc. they all exhibited the exact same resultant. cannot send email but will send that waiting email once i switch off of WIFI.
i forget to add that receiving email is unaffected.
port 25 is the smtp (outgoing) port, and port 110 is the pop3 (incoming) port.

Okay, so the new Apple update did not fix the issue that I have!

I still have to disconnect the network cable or wireless before I can connect my laptop to my iPhone. I was hoping the fix would address, but alas NO! Anyone know of a way to fix the issue that iTunes looks as the iPhone being connected as busy port already in use by the internet connection?

Okay, I'm desperate now. I've tried re-installing, reloading the driver, uninstalling almost all of my apps from my pc and laptop, followed every Apple technical help publication, and every work around published in these forums. I'm not alone and I am frankly tired of it. If an Apple rep suggested unplugging the Internet as the work around, then why can't they tell me how to fix it or what is causing the conflict in the app to think that my iPhone is a busy port. Why does iTunes see my iPhone and my Internet as competing things where the iPhone is not looked at when the Internet is connected. It seems that some developer should be able to figure this out. I'll ask again and try yet again, does anyone have a new work around to fix this? Has anyone figured out why iTunes sees my iPhone as unavailable because the Internet has taken the location where iTunes thinks it should be?

Today's iOS update did not fix purchased apps from crashing

Guess we have to continue waiting.

Didn't fix my problem either. Purchased apps still crash ipad or I get the error message 'can not connect to itunes'.
Nothing works, no suggestions on this board work and 6.1 didn't work.
I honestly don't think this is ever going to get fixed.

Update Did Not Fix YouTube Subscription Bug

Before 4.2, Apple TV sorted your YouTube subscription videos by latest/newest video. Now, it's sorted randomly which hurts the user and viewing experience, because we have no clue if the said subscription/channel has posted a new video or not. (and some of my subscriptions have over 400 videos posted)
Could you PLEASE revert back to the sorting order before 4.2 OR give us a way to list videos by date added, most viewed, and top rated when viewing a YouTube subscription?
null

This should be fixed with 4.2.2 released today. I have not tested it yet.

Recent camera update did not do all raw file formats of new Canon 5D2

The last camera raw update addressed only one of the three raw file formats of the new Canon 5d Mark II.
Why only do one and not all three?
The other two raw formats that need to be done are sRaw1 and sRaw2.
Thank you for your support.

Hi Al Malin;

HT6065 This update did NOT fix the GMail issue!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who is still have GMail issues using the Smart Mailbox? I can't retrieve any of my emails on my GMail accounts let alone delete add and delete the account.

I've been having this problem for a while myself, ever since after the first Mail update. Today's OS update didn't help either, and I just submitted Feedback to Apple, for the second time, having done it a few weeks ago to.
I tried deleting the GMail accounts and recreating them, both from within Mail and then within the System Preferences panel. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. After initially opening Mail, it works fine and retrieves messages for a while, and then ... it doesn't. Choosing "Get Mail" won't retrieve any email, but choosing "Synchronize All Accounts" does. Also, if I perform any action beyond simply reading an email, it will retrieve the email from that mailbox. That is, if I reply to or delete a message, it retrieves any messages at that time too.
It's REALLY annoying that two updates later, something which seems like it should be relatively simple still doens't work.

IWeb update does not fix nav bar problem

The subject says it. Downloaded 2.0.1 with hope, republished and uploaded pages, but nav bar still does not appear. Only black dot. Wish I could revert to previous version.

I don't know if this will solve your problem but I had the exact same experience. I have a site which I publish to a folder and then use transmit to ftp to a server. I also have the same site published to .mac. The black dot problem was only affecting the non.mac site. After iWeb 08 update I noticed a scripts folder and a feed.xml file in the site folder which I'm sure wasn't there before??? When I uploaded this folder and file as well as the index.html file it solved my problem. I'm no expert and I'm not sure why!!! but it might help...

ITunes 7.0.1. did not fix play back problem through AirTunes

The sound quality in Airtunes is every bit as bad under the update (7.01) as it had been before (7.0). I cannot listen to my music, the static is so annoying. I hope they get it right soon.
IBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Did you check you have IPV6 on in the network interface settings ?
You have to have it on or else AirTunes won't work.
I think it has to do with the iTunes Airtunes internal streaming server which uses IPV6 now, which is a good thing , network wise. But Apple didn't document it correctly , IMO.
I sure can vouch for the same airtunes quality using 7.01.
I have a pretty expensive audiophile setting connected to my airport express optical out , and the quality has suffered nothing.
This sure is strange.

Restore did not fix "other" storage problem

The "Other" category is taking up 5.96GB of my 16GB and I can't figure out how to free some of that space.
I deleted/disabled the album artwork and restored my iTouch but nothing happened - actually the "Other" got larger when I restored instead of getting smaller. I only have a handful of apps so I'm not sure what is occurring.
Here is the break down:
Audio 7.14GB
Photos 815.6MB
Apps 77.9MB
Other 5.96GB
Is there anything else I can do? It is taking up almost half of my space!
I am using a Macbook and the iPod software is 3.1.2
Thanks.

Thank you!
When I restored it again from new it worked. I added the files back and focused on apps first, then music, etc. It seems to have worked. I'm not sure what happened as I don't think the files are any different.
I don't use my calendar on my computer - I would love too but if I sync it now it will erase all of my iTouch calendar events, right. I am going to look into how to move my calendar from my iTouch to my mac and then I should be able to sync. I didn't realize I could do this!
Thanks again!
