  • Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

    Hi,
    Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
    I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Franco.

    I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
    Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

  • ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

    iTunes is not working properly after the newest update...  It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store.  Anyone have a solution or an explanation?  I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works.  Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed.  After that it all went to crap.  Thanks, Randy...

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Asha 501 : Whatsapp not working properly after 14....

    Hi,
    whatsapp is not working properly after software update, some times contacts never sync. screen goes pale and chat window doesn't show properly.
    Looks like memory problem after the new  updates or anything else?

    Similar complains around the web. I'd recommend getting the phone flashed at a care point to see if that improves the situation.
    Do wait for a couple of weeks for the full firmware files to be available at the respective care centers. AFAIK, they are not yet available in India.

  • Smart Actions not working properly after software update

    My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly. 
    I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS.  It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
    Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone.  I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again. 
    Any help appreciated.

        Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again?  Are your other GPS services working as normal?  After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
    Thank you,

  • SPOTLIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY

    Hello all---
    I have noticed for the past few weeks that my Spotlight is not working properly. I can put in a search term for a file I **KNOW** is on my HD but it returns no results. During a search for a fix on this site, I found one person's fix by going into the Terminal utility and manually turning on the indexing for Spotlight. I did this; got a "indexing turned on message" but my Spotlight is still NOT indexing or finding on either my internal HD or either of my two external HD's. I've just never run into a problem like this and don't know where to start to look. Can someone please give me a suggestion on how to reset Spotlight or somehow manually ask it to index my HD's so it works better?? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
    PDUBOKC

    You can force Spotlight to reindex by going to system preferences>spotlight>privacy and add the drive you want to reindex. Close everything and then delete that drive.
    Close everything? What does that mean? Quit all apps? Reboot? Delete the drive you just added to Privacy list?
    I don't get it. The Privacy panel says to add drives you DON'T want index. I cannot search my external HD which is where all the production files for our company reside. No matter how many times I select it.
    Searching seriously ***** in Leopard. In Tiger, I select the drive I want, the folder or document name, dates if I want to limit search and I am done.

  • HT201210 AUDIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLED IOS7

    After installed ios 7
    photos not able to see fully
    audio not working properly.... [no treble, no depth in sound, very low soung even the volume is full]
    get strucks while playing games

    This board is full of people that are update crazy...
    even when they have perfectly good working systems.
    i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
    Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
    firewire devices.
    will take note of that from now on.
    Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
    running the update again with all firewire devices
    unplugged.
    While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
    reset
    again.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    -Press the Setup knob
    -Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    -Press the Select knob
    -Press the Value knob
    -Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
    back
    in
    -Power the interface back on
    i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
    After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
    see if that doesn't get you going.

    cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

  • Touchpad not working properly after changing LCD and invertor

    Product - HP Pavilion DV4 1318TU
    I was having display problems, went through repairer. He changed the LCD, invertor and fixed some issues of motherboard(related display output). After fixing these issues i am facing touchpad issues. Touch is not working properly, and when I use USB mouse its working but after 1-2hr mouse is also not working properly. I connected to external monitor then touchpad is working fine without any issues. Kindly help me and tell me the root cause.
    Thanks

    Hey @ashfaque91 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the touchpad and mouse are not working on your notebook after having your display serviced.
    It seems quite odd that they would work fine on an external monitor, and to be totally blunt this is something I cant even attempt to explain. 
    Was this service provided by an HP service provider or was it done by an independent provider? 
    Try using the notebook in safe mode to see if there is an issue with the display driver causing some kind of wonky issue. Without knowing which version of Windows you are running I cannot tell you exactly how to boot safe mode on your notebook, but you can find this information easily by searching "Safe Mode Windows #" in Google.
    Other than this I would suggest getting back in touch with the service provider if the issue started immediately after they provided service to the notebook.
    Alternately, you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

  • Applications not working properly after updating t...

    After eventually updating to symbian Anna, I've noticed that some applications are not working properly, notably AccuWeather and Facebook. Uninstalled AccuWeather and re-installed it but still didn't work . Seems pointless releasing a software update and then to discover that applications from Ovi store won't work on your device! With Facebook I can only login in to my account but when I go to view a friend etc, it shuts down. 
    Has anyone any suggestions or solutions to the problem?
    Thanks

    i updated to the latest version 025.007 on my E7 too and a lot of the apps on the store dont work. Just blank screens.
    Somebody do something!!
    I use other devices, and havent faced this problem with any of them after an upgrade!

  • Camera led is not working properly after update

    After updating to IOS 6.0.1 led is not working properly.
    When filming , the led is burning very weak, and when lightsetting is turned to
    automatic not at all.

    Reset your phone first, hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt do it, then do a restore from your backup in itunes.

  • Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted.  When I try to play music, nothing comes out.  If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound.  They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me.  Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software?  Any suggestions?  These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much.  I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard).  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPod Touch Not Working Properly After Front Screen and Housing Replacement

    So my son left his iPod Touch 4th Gen on my back bumper and it fell off out in our dirt/gravel driveway.  I finally found it, 7 days later, run over multiple times.  Front screen and back housing were demolished as you can see, but it still worked fine (except rear facing camera was done).  Ordered the rear camera, front screen and back housing assemblies off eBay from reputable sellers.  Took it all apart and reassembled it. Bada bing! Everything was working fine: camera, speakers, touch screen, wi-fi, all of it, for about 2 days .  It went from working perfectly, to being kinda glitchy (had to hold home and power to restart), to not turning on at all.  I read somewhere that if you don't clean all metal to metal contacts, it may interfere and not work properly, so I just took it (almost) all apart again, cleaned the contacts, and it turned on and was working, but this time only for about half an hour.  I've held down the home and power buttons for long periods of time, which sometimes got it to work, but now is not working at all.  Any ideas on what might be going on??? Is the screen bad?  Did I maybe miss a metal to metal contact (e.g. the power button, ribbon cable)?  Any really important ones that you can tell me about?  I really don't want to take it into the Apple store, but if I do, any ideas on a ruff guesstimate on what it's gonna cost me?  Thanks for any help!  I really appreciate it, I'd love to get this thing working for my 7 year old so I can have my d*** phone back!
