Recent Software Update annoyance - Camera Flash notifications

For the most part I'm fine with the recent update to the software-- still navigating around the changes and getting my setting preferences restored-- but I absolutely HATE that my camera flash goes off when I have notifications! Has anyone found a way around this?? I sleep with my phone on my nightstand since it's my alarm, and every time I got an e-mail in the middle of the night the light wakes me up. And when it's face down anytime the rest of the day it's blinding.
Someone please tell me this isn't a permanent setting...

I just looked at accessibility and it isn't 'checked' for flash notifications.  So why is it doing it?  Annoying!  And I would think it is an unnecessary battery drain also. HELP!?!?!?
Try turning it on and then off again. Sometimes that helps. You might want to try to search for the other discussion in the Verizon Wireless Community forum where they go into more detail about the issue and the fix.

  • Flash player not working after recent software update

    I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
    I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
    I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
    I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
    Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
    I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

    Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
    But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
    Thanks anyway!

  • How do I retrieve apps and books that were lost in recent software update for my iPad?

    Is it possible to retrieve lost apps and books in recent software update?

    Yes it should be possible deppending on your  version of ios on your ipad. In the app store you can go to "purchased" and download any apps you've previously purchased. I'm not sure if this will also work for books or not. Also, if you haved synced your ipad to your computer, itunes will have all your data (books, apps, music etc...) and you can load it all back up.

  • Phone not responsive after recent software update

    I have just updated my phone (iPhone 5) with the most recent software update and it's now "died".  It was 100% charged and I'm now faced with an unresponsive phone which just shows the "plug to iTunes" visual.
    Anyone else have the problem and know how to resolve it?
    *Frustrated*
    PS did it for my iPad and it went through no problems.

    You're right.  Just tried for the sixth time.  Thank you.  What a productive Monday afternoon!

  • Hi there can anyone help as i am unable to contact Apple for support with my printer which will not print after recent software update? this is the email i tried to send to apple with no success, can anyone help please.......Dear Apple, I'm pulling my hai

    Hi there,
    Can anyone out there help, after a recent Apple software update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will no longer print, every other aspect of the printer works fine including the scanner but it just will not print, I sent an email to apple but all i got was an automated reply directing me to their support page, the email i sent is below this explains in full what the problem is & what i have done to try & fix this problem.
    Dear Apple,
    I'm pulling my hair out after a recent software update from apple, since this update my Epson Stylus Photo RX640 will not print, every other function of the printer including the scanner works fine,
    Please see attached file of the error message coming up in the print queue.
    I have spent days trying to fix this, i have been onto Epsons website & followed their resolution for this error message to no avail, after contacting them again with the results i got an email back saying : In response to your email, the RX640 will use an inbox or gutenprint driver on Mac OS X 10.6.8, it is not compatible with an Epson driver.
    I have also tried re-installing drivers from original Discs for the printer but it still will not print, obviously this error has been caused by Apple's latest software update, when are Apple going to fix this problem? i need my printer working ASAP.
    Regards
    Brian
    PS i obviously can't attach the error message so here it is:    Error:/Library/Printer/Epson/inkjetprinter 2/filter/rastertoescpll.app/contents/mac os/rastertoescpll/failed
    Thank You all in advance
    Regards
    Brian

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:

    You can download the latest version from here:

    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

  • My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    my airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
    I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
    Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
    That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

  • Lexmark P6250 scanner not working with iMac after recent software update, any ideas?

    The scanner has always worked with the iMac but after a recent software update only the printer works now.  I have searched the apple communities boards and have downloaded a variety of drivers suggested but nothing has solved the issue.
    When I load print and scan from system preferences, I select to open the scanner and the process just hangs.   I can see the scanner and am able to select to open but not able to scan.
    Any ideas on how to resolve?

    Unfortunately I have tried this and I have downloaded new drivers and restarted both the iMac and printer/scanner numerous times but I still only have the printer working.
    I have tried to use preview via system preferences, print and scan and the when I select open scanner for preview the application hangs.  I have also tried to use image capture and there is an error when selecting the scanner device of "Lexmark Language Error".  When selecting overview within image capture I am advised that the size tryng to be scanned is too large when nothing has been selected and the default setting are standard size and then image capture hangs.
    All features were working fine prior to conducting a software update about 8-10 weeks ago.  I have downloaded further software updates which I had hoped would sort this issue but it hasn't.

  • After doing a recent software update, my macbook can't bring up Safari. I get a problem report for Safari with a lot of tech words/numbers

    After doing a recent software update, our macbook stopped opening up Safari.  We keep getting a problem report for Safari.  How do we fix this?

    Please copy and paste the entire report in your Reply. That should reveal what the problem is.
    No need to send anymore reports to Apple. One is sufficient. It's only for the developers perusal.

  • After a recent software update my iphoto program no longer responds and freezes  the my imac

    After a recent software update I opened iphoto and was asked if I would like my photos geographic location used for mapping where photos were taken, I answered no and now Iphoto no longer responds and freezes all computer functions. Unable to force quite application. What can I do?

    This is iPhoto for iOS, not OSX.  Despite having the same name, they are completely different programs.  You should repost your question in the iLife/iPhoto area.

  • Why has my safari icon disappeared from the applications bar after the recent software update?

    Everything was working perfectly until I uploaded the most recent software update. When I restarted my laptop I found that the Safari icon had disappeared from my applications bar.  If I go to my 'recent places' and click on Safari it then reappears but only until I close the laptop down as the next time I start it up, it's nowhere to be seen.  Can anyone help?  

    by applications bar you mean "dock"? After you click on recent places and start safari it will reappear in the dock and at this point you will want to control + click (right click) on the SAFARI icon and hover to options, make sure that "KEEP IN DOCK" has a check mark next to it. If it does not, click that option. Now it will keep the Safari Icon in your dock.

  • What is the most recent software update for mac

    I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

    A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

  • I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
    Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so.  The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub!  For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
    So I have approached the overall problem differently.
    The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

    Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:
