Simple Fix for "Sticky Upper Optical Door" Problem

I've seen quite a few threads popping up in here with regard to the fact that a great many brand-new Mac Pros suffer from a problem where the door/cover for the upper optical drive does not spring shut after the drive is closed.
Our new Mac Pro suffered from this problem, and with a bit of investigation, I believe I've found a very safe, simple, and completely reliable fix for the issue, so I thought I'd post my solution here in the hopes it will help others.
No bending, pushing, or mangling of any sort is required for this fix; it's really incredibly simple:
• open the case and remove the optical drive caddy. Do this by pulling it straight toward you. A small amount of force might be needed if this is the first time you've done it, but eventually the entire aluminium enclosure which holds the drives should slide out.
• with the drives removed, you'll be able to see the door/cover assembly. Just inside the opening of the case near the opening for the top drive, you'll see a Phillips (star) screw. Loosen this screw just a bit - in my case, all that was needed was about 1/8 of a turn.
• verify that this fixes the sticking problem with the drive door/cover by manually wiggling it up and down.
• tighten the screw to the point where you're not worried it might work itself loose on its own, but not so tight that it causes the door/cover to begin sticking again.
• replace the drive enclosure, close the case up, and you're done!!
I'm guessing they use a powered screw-driver when assembling that part of the case, and that the screw just gets over-tightened in the process, but then again.. who cares how it happens, so long as it can be fixed!?
Hope this helps..

It's nice to know there's a community out there. I bought my Mac pro refurbished and was starting to think the sticking door was why I got it cheaper. Thanks for posting your solution.

Hello Antonio;
After many, many test I discovered that the problem, at least in my case it is caused by the new ACR 4.5. Please read the Thread that I post under Camera Raw. I include the link below.
I also open two Bug Reports about this, but as usual Adobe (and other Software Companies) will never take responsability for this, until one day they release a new version with "enhancements".

Safari Ver 5.1.10 Fix For The "Old Style" Google Problem...

@ The mods/ Admins
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I cannot seem to find the thread where people were discussing the recent problem Google introduced by forcing some versions of Safari to revert back to their old style Google layout and format...
I was told by a moderator (Zack T.) that I could post my "Fix/ Solution" to this problem here on the site but I can't find the original thread for this. So I am posting the "Fix" here as I'm still getting inundated with emails from people here and from Googles "help" forums asking me for this solution...
Could you please if possible leave this thread available for those people running Safari Ver 5.1.10 so that they can try for themselves this "Fix" without having to contact me personally over it, or can you (if needed) move this post to the appropriate thread...
Thank you...
The following is a "Fix/ Solution" that I have created that solves the problem for users of Safari Ver 5.1.10 that Google introduced recently where they now block older version of Safari from using the "Modern Style" layout and features of Google which they had been used to...
You can still use the "Modern Style" Google with Safari 5.1.10 via the "Develop/ User Agent/ Other" menu to switch to a "User Agent" that allows you to use the "Modern Google" however, there is no way to make this as the permanent "Default User Agent" in Safari 5.1.10 and it has to be done for each new tab you open and every time you startup Safari... which is not exactly good or helpful...
That's where this "Fix" solves that for you. This fix will make sure Safari 5.1.10 starts up and uses a custom "User Agent" that allows you to continue to use the "Modern Style" Google and not have to constantly change the "User Agent" via the "Develop" menu...
It also has the benefit over other methods that are about of using FireFox "User Agents" in that this fix creates a Mac specific "User agent" that means you get the correct pages from whatever it is you are accessing on the internet (The FireFox one causes some changes to graphics and page layout when used on a Mac)...
As long as you are certain you are using Safari Version 5.1.10 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and they are all fully updated as far as they can be then this fix should work for you (it already has for several thousand other Safari 5.1. 10 users whom have tried it)...
INSTRUCTIONS.... Safari Version 5.1.10 Fix To Restore The "Modern Style" Google...
IMPORTANT !!! --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
Download the following DMG which contains the "Fix" for Safari Ver 5.1.10...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7wsl4n5siu7cphw/Safari_Ver_5.1.10_Google_Fix.d mg
When you open the DMG file you will see a window that looks like this...
IMPORTANT --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
STEP 1: Double click on the folder called "A" to open it...
STEP 2: From the new window that opens from folder "A" find the file called "Safari" and drag
it to your Desktop screen to make a copy of it (this is both for safekeeping and in case the "fix"
doesn't work for you so that you can still restore the original file)...
STEP 3: Drag the file from the downloaded DMG window called "Safari" onto the folder in the
same window called "A"...
Now start Safari as you would normally and if the fix has worked you should once again be seeing the
"Modern" look Google once again. You should copy/ move the original "Safari" file you copied to your
Desktop screen to a safe place for storage (Downloads or Documents for example) in case you ever
need or want to restore the original file to Safari at some pint in the future...
IMPORTANT:- If you're still seeing the old version of Google in Safari after trying this fix then
unfortunately it hasn't worked for you and you MUST replace/ put back the
original "Safari" file you copied to your Desktop screen...
This is simple to do and is achieved by simply dragging the original "Safari"
file you copied to your Desktop screen onto the "A" folder in the "Safari Fix"
window...
Happy Googling - MadFranko008 (2014)

I followed instructions from Carolyn Smith in another thread (see below) - but Safari did not start anyway. After that I discovered that Safari started when starting from /Program/-folder but not from Docks on the desktop.
So - throw away the old icon on the desktop and make a new one.

Re: Safari quit unexpectedly after my last update, What do I do?

Is there a fix for a Flash Player compatibility problem?.

My computer is a imac g4 1.25 Ghz 17 inch flat panel running OS X 10.4.11 and can no longer view anything on the internet that uses the newest version of flash player. I have tried to upgrade to that version but it won't work on my computer. When I try to download it I get this message "Devices with powerpc processors are no longer supported." Is there a fix for this?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
It works for me.

SIMPLE FIX for XP SP2 Installs

Greetings. I'll cut to the chase and won't explain here in detail what's really going on with this fix, but it has now successfully cleared a range of installation problems for iTunes 5.0, 5.01, and QuickTime 7, on two unrelated XP SP2 systems. Feel free to contact me if you want more info, but you may definitely want to give this a try if you're running XP SP2 and have been having iTunes install problems (be sure that you are logged in with Administrator privileges):
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Enter in the "Open:" field: "services.msc" (without the quotes)
- Click OK
- Scroll down to "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)"
[ NOT "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" ]
- Double click on this item
- Click the "Log On" tab
- If the "Local System Account" selection is already
selected, this fix won't help you. If the "Local System
Account" selection is NOT selected, SELECT it now.
[ make sure that "Allow service to interact with desktop
is not checked ]
- Click OK
- Close the Services window
- Reboot
- Try reinstall the 5.0 or 5.01 iTunes+QuickTime package
This may also fix a number of other odd XP SP2 behaviors. Good luck!

Over time I saw a range of different install problems as I continued trying to find a procedure to get iTunes 5 and/or QuickTime 7 installed on two completely different XP SP2 systems, neither of which initially had an iTunes installation (but both of which had QuickTime 6 installations).
The initial attempt at the (then 5.0) iTunes install resulted in the infamous "vanishing installation" -- the process appeared to proceed normally, but at the end no files had been installed, and the iTunes icon had only appeared for a few seconds. I eventually determined that the installer was failing silently and deleting all of the files it had installed at that point. No error messages were associated with this failure mode -- the installer's failure to be more verbose made this a much more difficult problem to attack (turning on installer logging gave more information, but was not as much help as might have been expected).
Unfortunately, the installer by that time had also mucked around with various QuickTime files and settings, leaving the original QuickTime 6 installation broken as well.
I then found it was impossible to even install the QuickTime 7 standalone, nor could QuickTime 6 be reinstalled. In all cases (even after manual attempts at uninstalling and cleaning up the partial installs, registry cleanups, etc.) the installers would abort ("interrupted") near the very end of their process, and as usual delete their new files.
iTunes 4.9 installs would also fail in much the same manners. However, I ultimately found a way to trick the system into a working 4.9 (except for CDDB support on one of the machines), using a technique that I documented on this forum some days ago.
As I dug through the various logs and errors, I became convinced that a privilege issue was at the heart of the matter -- this also fit with the sorts of changes that SP2 imposed on the system, and later MS security "fixes" that made even more changes.
This led to my researching the sorts of problems that could relate in that area, until I found discussions of a variety of problems caused by RPC-related privilege configuration errors, that can trigger many bizarre XP SP2 behaviors, including installer failures.
The procedure that I noted in the original message of this thread instantly fixed all iTunes and QuickTime installation problems on these systems. Both 5.0 and 5.0.1 installs proceeded perfectly after the change -- I did not test the change with 4.9.
This situation is the fault of both MS and Apple. MS -- for a whole bunch of SP2-related complexities and problems that were unnecessarily introduced, and Apple for apparently not noting the known issues in this area, and failing to take them into account in their installers. Apple also gets low marks in this situation for installer error reporting, and for how they've handled the situation publicly since the problems became known.

Is there a fix for the iTunes push notification problem with Dropbox on iPhone ios 7.0.4

After updating to IOS 7.0.4 iPhone (which I now regret), when I open the Dropbox App, I get a warning "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications". When I push OK, it pops up again, constantly, so I can't even close Dropbox. Is there a fix for this? I've uninstalled and re-instaled Dropbox and checked for updates, but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

Fairly simple fix for dv6000 power button, microphone, internal speaker problems

I have a dv6000 notebook computer, S/N CNF6380XM1, P/N EZ829AV.
Over time (I've had the computer for almost 4 years) the power button, internal speakers, and microphone became increasingly flaky and eventually stopped working altogether. Classic signs of a bad connection. I could still turn on the computer by touching the QuickPlay button to the right of the power button.
I used the Maintenance and Service Guide, HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook PC, Document number 416618-003 (PDF can be found online from HP) to get the removal/replacement procedures for the switch cover (the piece of the case above the keyboard that has the power button, the Quick Play buttons, and the speakers) and the power button board. Remove three silver screws inside the battery compartment, pop loose some snaps along the top edge of the switch cover, and carefully fold the switch cover back over the keyboard. The power button board is pretty obvious other than knowing you need to slide the latch ears on the ZIF connector away from the connector body (towards the flex cable) in order to release the flat flex cable.
The power button board has flat flex cable that connects to the motherboard. In addition to having the power switch, this board is used as a breakout board for the microphone and the internal speakers. I looked at the contacts of the ZIF flat flex connector under a microscope and aha!, just as I suspected, they are gold plated. You might think this is a good thing, and it would be if the mating contacts on the flat flex cable were also gold plated. But alas they are tin plated. Gold + tin + vibration + time = bad connection. For those interested in the technical details of this, do a search for "fretting corrosion".
Since I'm pretty miserly and like to fix stuff, I decided to try simply cleaning the contacts. I cut a strip of carborundum paper (very fine abrasive coated paper) the same width as the flex cable, insert it into the ZIF connector, close the latch, and pull the paper out. I repeated this 3 times, then shot some compressed air into it to remove any gritty dust. I then rubbed the contacts of the flat flex cable with the carborundum paper and wiped them off with a clean static-free cloth.
After reassembly, everything is working again! Since this didn't address the root cause of the problem, it will probably eventually start acting up again, but maybe by that time I'll be ready for a new computer anyway. A proper fix would be to replace the ZIF connector with one that has tin contacts, and to replace the flat flex cable.
This is a design flaw on the power button board. A ZIF connector with tin contacts should have been used. Ironically, I learned about fretting corrosion over 20 years ago from an old HP reliability guru named Ed Aoki when I was an engineer in the HP medical electronics business.
After doing an internet search on "dv6000 power button", I saw that there seem to be quite a few frustrated people out there that are having similar problems with internal speakers and microphone. The troubleshooting flow chart in the service manual does not help to properly identify the problem component (the power button board and flat flex cable). Hopefully this info will be helpful.

No, its too expensive for HP to plate the zif connectors with something that doesn't corrode....rolleyes.
Thanks nice tutorial.

Simple fix for non-ejecting CDs/DVDs

I've had trouble getting discs to eject since I got my new Intel duo-core iMac a few weeks ago. I tried all the suggestions on this forum and those that the Apple support people suggested. Finally, a repair guy came to the house today to replace the superdrive.
I'm almost embarrassed at how simple the solution was. I have the iMac with the built-in iSite camera. There's a plastic case that fits over the screen. It detaches (with great difficulty) for repairs to the computer. The case is attached to the computer with "snaps" and state-of-the-art (supposedly) tape that is very difficult to remove. It should be tight. Well, mine wasn't. The upper left corner (NOT the corner next to the drive) wasn't snapped in all the way. It was loose by maybe 1/8 of an inch. That little bit of crookedness was just enough for the superdrive slot not to line up properly, and that's why the computer couldn't eject the discs. It was a purely mechanical problem.
The repair guy used the palms of his hands on each upper corner to squeeze the case and snap it on tight. Presto! Instant fix. The discs eject with ease now.
The only problem is that the tape doesn't seem to be very tight on that upper left-hand corner. So it might loosen again. If it does, I'll be calling Apple support again.
I was embarrassed that I hadn't noticed this problem before (you couldn't see it if you were looking straight at the computer, which is the only way I ever see it), but I was also relieved that the superdrive didn't have to be replaced.
So, if you're having problems ejecting discs, check to see if the case is snapped onto the computer tightly.

Just a follow-up. My case would not stayed snapped to the computer. I had to call service out again, and they replaced the case. Seems the clips that hold the case to the computer weren't designed very well. The new case has redesigned clips, and now everything is fitting tightly. No problem ejecting discs any longer.

The fix for "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close . . ."

I recently purchased a new laptop and tried to get my library transferred. iTunes wouldn’t open; QuickTime wouldn’t open. I was near a heart attack. I tried the fixes listed in the forum, but they didn’t work. Then I discovered:
The fix needs to be done in a proper order!
a. Delete iTunes and QuickTime from Add/Remove programs
b. Go to C > Program files an delete the folders for iTunes and QuickTime. If QT will not allow you to delete the program because it’s “in use”, then go to Start > Run > configsys > Startup and deselect “qttask”. You will have to reboot and get past the selective start up/diagnostic screen. Then go back to C > Program files and you will now be able to delete the QuickTime folder.
c. For good order’s sake, delete any desktop shortcuts and empty your Recycle Bin.
d. Reboot
e. Download the STAND ALONE version of QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
f. Install the stand alone version; reboot
g. Download the QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
h. Install the iTunes program. The stand alone will take precedence over the imbedded version of QuickTime.
i. Reboot
When your system has completed the reboot, you should be able to double-click the newly installed desktop shortcut; give it a few minutes and it should open. Mine did – and I tried everything else. If this does NOT work, then there is a conflict with something else in your system and you will have to go through the configsys elimination process, which is a whole lot more work.
Best of luck!
Gateway laptop Windows XP

The first thing to check is Quicktime as iTunes will not work without it.
Does Quickime launch OK and work normally?
If it does use the method in this article to troubleshoot iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
If QUicktime does not launch, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes (it is not the default option):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Possible fix for car unit Bluetooth connectivity problems (it fixed mine)

Ok, I understand this only fixed my particular problem, so it may not work with every Bluetooth head unit.
I have a Pioneer deh-p7000bt and it worked beautifully with my iPhone 3GS.
Once I got my iPhone 4 I restored it from a backup of my 3GS. I had continual problems. I synced it and it would disconnect within minutes. This would happen everyday so I just gave up.
Yesterday I was playing around with my head unit. I DELETED any previously synced phones from my head unit. I also told my iPhone to forget my head unit. After deleting any traces of my older iPhone and new iPhone, I resynced my iPhone 4.
This time it stayed connected and reconnected automatically even after rebooting and restarting my car. Problem solved.
It may have something to do with the head unit being confused about the iPhone hardware.... Possibly from restoring it from a backup of the previous phone you had already synced to the unit.
Try this, it worked for me. Maybe it won't work for you.
Thanks,
John

I too have had problems with Bluetooth connectivity, with my wife's IPhone 5C, since updating to IOS 8 and now 8.02. I have a 2013 Honda Accord with factory updated firmware. Everything worked flawlessly before the IPhone update, but now the phone will connect to the car but I get error messages saying the contact list cannot be imported. I deleted everything, started over, still does not work. I also have a Motorola Moto X with the latest Android build and Bluetooth connects automatically, works flawlessly and the contact list always imports when I enter the car, so it is definitely not a problem with the car's system. I thought Apple products were superior to all else... I will be switching my wife to an Android phone if Apple continues to ignore the problem. She needs this to work for safety reasons, since she works out of the car.

Any fixes for touch 4g ios 6 problems

Has anyone figured out how to fix the problem with the app store crashes? Also when I check diagnotics it "full" of out of memory errors on my 34g touch. What a waste for such limited benefits for the 4th generation, Apple should have cautioned us not to upgrade because it doesn't seem to work that good on the older model touch.

I do not think so. See this long-running discussion.

Possible simple fix for itunes store issues

Was having the same problem with my Macbook Pro and iPhone 3gs. Could not login/download app updates etc. despite having the same account for several years.
Here's what worked for me......
Go to the apple store (not iTunes store) and log in to your account as normal.
Click on change account information.
