Remote not working after 10.4.8 update

Hello.
My remote is no longer working and I think it is only since the 10.4.8 update.
Front Row works fine using Apple-esc so that isn't the problem. I've tested it with the iSight and I see the flashing light so it is sending out a signal. I have also used it with no problems on my MacBook (which hasn't yet been updated). The remote from the MacBook also doesn't work with the iMac when it usually does. From all this I have concluded it is a problem with the iMac.
How can I get the iMac to recognise the remote again?
Rachel

Hello Rachel
Apple describes it in the iMac User Guide, i tried it and it worked.
Pairing Your Apple Remote
If you have multiple computers or other devices with built-in IR receivers in a room (for example, more than one iMac in a home office or lab), you can “pair” your Apple Remote with a specific computer or device. Pairing sets up the receiving computer or device so it’s controlled by only one remote.
To pair your Apple Remote with your iMac:
1Move very close to your iMac (within 3 to 4 inches).
2Point the Apple Remote at the Apple logo on the front of your iMac.
3Press and hold the Next/Fast-forward and Menu buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
When you’ve successfully paired your Apple Remote with your iMac, a chainlink symbol appears onscreen.

Drobo not working after 10.5.8 update

My drobo stopped working after 10.5.8 update. Now I lost all my data on the drobo. this doesn't make me happy.

'We are using the USB interface (as opposed to firewire) because we want to share the drive across the network - it's not always about speed.'
This makes absolutely no sense to me.. but maybe I am wrong : Because firewire is much more reliable than USB and manages to keep highest transfer rates (without jumping up and down as USB would do as soon as I/Os go up...) Especially on a Mac ! (only for the latency I am not too sure, but I guess it is similar on fw and USB.. just increase the caching if you stream hd movies on the network...
From my experience, sharing a USB drive on the network is probably much worse.. you can find example on the web.. (Orb, Plex and else will start drop frames when connecting to a USB shared drive.)
I currently use my drobo plugged to my Mini with a fw800 to 400 cable,4*1.5tb hdds, I also share it on the network with gigabit ethernet, and get much better performances than any usb shared drive.
Sorry I do not have any precize measurement, but I can upload or download a 6tb file in about 10minutes over gigabit ethernet, and I guess the bottleneck is now the Drobo controller...
The protocol you use may have an impact as well (afp, smb,...) but whatever you use, I suppose Firewire will be faster.
As a general advice, do not update or upgrade anything in general before you have a backup of your data, this is true for any storage system, Drobo or not.
Oh, and Data redundancy on a raid is not a backup of course.

External monitor Syncmaster 2494SW not working after 10.6.7 update

External monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2494 SW stopped working after 10.6.7 update on 2011 MacBook Pro. I'm using miniDP-DVI adapter. The monitor shown correctly in Display Properties with right modes and name. MackBook recognizes connection but the monitor goes to PowerSave mode (LED indicator blinks).
Safemode boot, SMC reset, PRAM reset did not help.
Exactly the same setup works perfectly under 10.6.6.

HERE IS THE EASY FIX SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM GUYS:
I have an 15inch MacBook Pro that I've just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on.
Prior to this install, I've had it hooked up to my Samsung SyncMaster 2243 via an Apple MDP/VGA adapter and a third party VGA cable. It has been flashing on and off a black screen every now and then for the past 2 years and I googled that it was just a crappy communication between the MBP and the Samsung... but now since installing 10.6.3, the Samsung display just flashes the desktop for a second then turns black for good - occationally flashing analogue/digtal prompt display. Tried everything for hours. Nothing worked, thought I was gonna have to buy a new all Apple VGA lead then came across Michael's above solution. Tried it and it worked IMMEDIATLY!!! And the monitor doesn't flash black anymore AT ALL!! Whoo-hoo!! Thanks heaps.
WHAT TO DO TO FIX:
Go to => System Preferences => Energy Saver => change graphic settings to Higher Performace.
Cheers!!

IPod touch not working after 5.0.1iOS update

It seems like a lot of people are having issues after the new 5.0.1iOS update. I want to share my frustration and what problems I'm facing. After the update my ipod won't sync properly. It freezes my computer and then my computer shuts down everytime I have my ipod connected to my computer. My music and apps on my iPod are like ghosts they are visible but do NOT work after being pressed. I tried resetting the ipod, same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, same problem. There is only problems with my computer when the iPod is plugged into the computer and trying to update. I am so ANGRY because I love my iPod and I can't use it to listen to music or communicate with my family and friends. I hope Apple will help all of us soon and fix these HUGE bugs, and FAST.

Have you tried the sandard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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
- Retore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Remote not working after Leopard update

I've read about, and have the problems reported with Front Row when it comes to viewing content on another (TV) screen, but does anyone share my problem about the remote control not working at all?
This morning before I upgraded to Leopard it worked fine, but since then, no matter which button I press, nothing happens at all.
I've to launch Front Row manually, either by launching the new app, or the CMD Esc command, but the 'Menu' button on the remote doesn't do anything.
It certainly isn't an issue with the remote as my iPod still responds to the commands when it is sat in the iPod Dock that has the remote receiver on it.

To provide closure on this thread, I now have it working!
Got all the ideas from the iSight thread listed above, here's what I did.
Firstly, shut down the computer, disconnected everything from the back of it, gave it a dust around the back of the iMac, blew out the cobwebs so to speak.
Left it ten minutes, made myself a drink.
Returned and restarted the computer, but applying the reset PRAM command, which is after switching on immediately hold down the Command, Option, P and R keys.
You'll hear a second chime, release the keyboard and the computer will boot up.
Once everything had loaded, I launched iSight and lo and behold, there was my ugly mug staring back at me, iSight was once again working.
I then proceeded to the System Preferences to see if I could get the remote working. There was the IR instructions at last including details on how to pair the remote.
Pointing my remote to the screen I held down the Menu and Next/FFWD button until a chain and the remote symbol appeared on the screen.
With my remote paired with my iMac, everything was finally working again after two days of installing Leopard, Tiger and the Leopard again!
Now Apple, how about sorting out Front Row working properly when pictures are DV'd out to a TV!??

Headphone remote not working after iOS 8.1.2 update on iPhone 5

Following iOS 8.1.2 update my iPhone 5 no longer responds to the inline remote on my headphones. Remote still works fine with my laptop so the problem is specific to the updated iPhone. I am using SkullCandy Earbuds. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello Nathan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your iPhone's camera. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Excite PRO 3G connection not work after Android v4.3 update

Hello,
I live in Italy and on last Sunday (january 26th) my Excite PRO tablet (model AT10LE-A-10H) got the Android version 4.3.201121220.35.
After restart my wifi works fine, all other app work fine, but my 3g connection doesn't work, mobile network bar is empty and it says "no service".
My sim card is ok. I used this sim card before the system update and I didn't get any problem with Android 4.2.2.
Please help me.
Thank you

>After restart my wifi works fine, all other app work fine, but my 3g connection doesn't work, mobile network bar is empty and it says "no service".
Go to the mobile network settings and search again for the 3G network.
I had similar problem with my Android Smartphone and my o2 provider
I started new search, then I chosen the O2 again and then I could solve the problem.
In case this does not work for you, recommend you to reset the tablet back to default (factory settings)

Exchange email will not work after IOS 5.1 update. Anyone else having same problem. Its been three days now I cannot get mail.

Exchange Email not working on Iphone 4S is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this?

@ w3nitro
I'm having the same issues, except only one of my Exchange accounts took a dive after upgrading to iOS 5.1. My Gmail account (set up as Exchange) works flawlessly but my native Exchange account (work e-mail) stopped working after the update.
Post update to 5.1: (work Exchange account) I could view my inbox and view individuals emails in the inbox, but I was unable to send any emails. Mail started asking for my password after the update (for the affected Exchange account) but once entered, it failed to verify.
I completley removed the Exchange account and rentered all the account settings but again, failure to verify any information. I was hoping my password might have changed but it did not. Also, maybe the IT guy at the office (not very bright) changed some settings but the only difference is the new iOS update.
And while playing with the iPhone trying to make it work again, I noticed something really weird. Old emails (2-3 weeks) from multiple email accounts to include the inop Exchange account started showing up again on the pull down notification menu. I would clear these out of the notificaion menu but they always kept reapearing; very strange.

VPN not working after 10.6.8 update

I am using checkpoint VPN-1 version SecureClient_B634006015_1 for Snow Leopard. After updating to 10.6.8 my network connection outside my local LAN is not accessible. Can't ssh, ping any outside resource. If I turn off secure client then no problems. This worked right up until I updated to 10.6.8. Anyone have any suggestions or similiar situations?
TIA,
Steve

Does anyone know why the Mac Cisco VPN client doesn't prompt for a user ID or Password?
I've been using the Cisco VPN client for over a year, but it looks like the 10.6.8 update broke it. I've heard that the Apple Cisco client works, but not for me.
When I try to connect the Authenticate dialog box comes up, but there is no where to enter my user ID or password like I've seen on dialog snapshots on the web. All I can do is click on OK or Cancel. At this point the connection spins for a while and then times out.
I've tried entering both my user ID and password in the Network VPN setup dialog, just my user ID and neither my user ID or password. Same results every time. The samples on the web show a prompt for both user ID and password.
I'm sure my user ID and password are correct because I've copied them from a Linux vpnc configuration that is working on a virtual machine on my Mac. I have navigated to the Cisco client file in /private/etc and used one of the web sites to decrypt the group password stored there. It's the same one I entered in the Network VPN dialog box, but to be absolutely sure I copied the decrypted group password to the Network VPN setup. Same results.

Apple Cinema Display (20-inch DVI 2005) not working after 10.10.3 update

I have an Apple Cinema Display (20-inch DVI 2005) that isn't working after installing the 10.10.3 update. The screen is just blank, and the power light just blinks a few times every 30 seconds or so. I use this as a second monitor with my iMac (27-inch, Late 2012). Any way to fix this? Thanks!

Thank you for the update!
Next I would recommend the Reset the System section of the following article for additional troubleshooting:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
I would reset the SMC and the PRAM together, in that order one more time, then do the Safe Boot if needed.
