Strange after 10.5.6 upgrade

My MacBook keeps making a sound like it's going to eject the CD. Over and over, every 160 seconds.
I have reinstalled the update and it didn't make a difference.
I have taken everything out of the start up, to no avail.
There seem to be no more processes that are running that would cause this weird behavior. I have restarted it several times.
The only thing that seems to fix it is to put a disk in the drive.
Any ideas?

I think the best idea is to go to an Apple Store and just let them take a look at it since we don't actually know the extent of the problem by just reading it off the Internet.

Drag and drop acting strangely after 10.8.5 upgrade

Just yesterday I upgraded to 10.8.5 form 10.8.4 so I could use my new iPhone 5c with iTunes (got message I had to upgrade)>
Since then I have had trouble dragging and dropping files into folders, folders into folders.
E.g., when dragging a .jpeg out of a folder from my user profile in finder to my desktop the .jpeg doesn't stay where I drop it but goes into the far upper left corner of the screen, half off the screen.
When draging a file to a folder on my desktop, after dropping, it doesn't go into the folder but pops back to where it was. Other times it will drop into the folder but then instantly opens the folder in a Finder window.
I repaired disc permissions and restarted, still have problems and it's getting annoying.
Appreciate any help.

Tried installing the 10.8.5 Combo, repaired permissions before and after, still have the same problem.
I wanted to copy a folder of jpegs from my home folder to a flashdrive, every time I dropped it on the flashdrive icon it just popped back to the home folder. Finally I had to hold it on the flashdrive icon for about 4-5 seconds at which point the flashdrive opened it's own window and let me drop it there.
I noticed that immediately after repair disk permissions, I did it again and all the same permissions had to be fixed again, all in iTunes. Something amiss....

Apcupsd working strangely after system upgrade [SOLVED?]

I'm having an odd problem with the apcupsd (3.10.17-1) package in the Community repo. I'm running a Back-UPS RS 1000 according to apcaccess. It was working swimmingly through a USB connection until recently. I have the timeout set to 0 and the automatic shutdown set when the battery reaches 5%.
After my system-wide upgrade, there popped up a problem. Although 'apcaccess status' tells me that my unit is online and the battery charge is at 100% and the load and timeleft is reasonable, the daemon doesn't actually use this information when a switch to battery happens.
When there is a switchover from a power-outage, the system shuts down (despite timeout set to 0). Later when I check the log in /var/log/apcupsd.events, it says, for example,
Fri Jul 15 19:24:11 EDT 2005 apcupsd 3.10.17 (18 March 2005) unknown startup succeeded
Sat Jul 16 18:11:26 EDT 2005 Power failure.
Sat Jul 16 18:11:26 EDT 2005 Reached remaining time percentage limit on batteries.
Sat Jul 16 18:11:26 EDT 2005 Initiating system shutdown!
Sat Jul 16 18:11:26 EDT 2005 User logins prohibited
Sat Jul 16 18:11:28 EDT 2005 apcupsd exiting, signal 15
Sat Jul 16 18:11:28 EDT 2005 apcupsd shutdown succeeded
The first line being when I booted my system. As you can see, it thinks it reached the 5% limit, despite telling me it had 100% earlier. It's a new battery and the hardware is not bugging me in any way.
I've read other people having some trouble with USB after recent upgrades of DBUS (I'm running 0.34-1), or perhaps it is UDev (060-5). Could this be related? I'm not sure which upgrade did it because I don't test my apc unit after every pacman -Syu.

Well, the problem mysteriously disappeared (apparently). I did update udev... maybe that has something to do with it. Did no one else have this problem?

Vlan stopped working after Solaris 11.1 upgrade

Sorry for the long post.
I upgraded a test server to Solaris 11.1 from 11/11 a few days ago. After I did the upgrade my one VLAN-based network connection stopped working. I've been messing with it for days and am a bit baffled.
Note that everything was up and working just before the upgrade. This is not a switch configuration problem or a cables issue.
All of the other networking survived the upgrade just fine...
The link that stopped working is a VLAN running on top of a two-link LAG. The untagged link running over the same LAG works just fine.
So here's the strange part. As I was trying to get underneath it all today I fired up wireshark to see if I could figure it out. As soon as I put wireshark up on the interface (in its default promiscuous mode) the link started working. All the packets in the trace looked normal. All was good. As soon as I stopped the trace the link was dead again. Start a trace - link in promiscuous mode - and all is good again. Stop and it stops...
If I bring bring up wireshark on the link without promiscuous mode the link does NOT start working. If I initiate a ping that should go out on the broken VLAN I see a series of ARP requests but no answers (running wireshark on the machine being ping'd I see all of the ARP request come in and the answers go out, but the Solaris machine never sees the answers).
So - did Oracle manage to break VLANs in 11.1? Any ideas how to get it working again?
A few bits on info from the machine. The only thing that looks odd/wrong I've highlighted below.

Edit/Delete Message

Fixed. Don't know exactly how/why, but fixed.
When I came home this afternoon I deleted the all of the IPs associated with the VLAN and the LAG. I deleted the VLAN itself and deleted the LAG. Basically tore down all of the datalink and IP layers leaving only the raw interface cards. Rebuilt the LAG, rebuilt the VLAN and reinstalled the IPs. And like magic, the whole thing is happy.
Something in the configs of the LAG or the VLAN must have been corrupted during the upgrade. But now its all fat, dumb and happy again.
Very odd.

Strange problem. I have upgraded to OSX 10.9.1 but cant get wifi to work so forced to be hard wired. Any inputs appreciated.

It only needs an internet connection - wired or wireless.
Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Sync strangeness after disk replacement and OS reinstall

This was posted in someone elses thread but I didn't want to hijack his thread so I started my own.
I'm having a similar issue after a hard drive upgrade and OS reinstall. I added a 500G disk to my older g5 imac, which I sync my iphone to and ever since the reinstall I've had weird sync problems. After a Time Machine restore of my Addressbook to it's proper location and my iPhoto and iTunes library to the shared folder with a symlink in my $home/Music, it's yielded weird problems and only half works.
Symptoms include:
Sync of contacts that never finishes (I chose "merge" when it complained that it was sync'd to another iTunes instance). I've left it for several hours and it never finishes.
I can no longer subscribe on my iPhone to a subscribed calendar
iSync never finishes starting up, it yields "Refreshing contact groups information" forever and never really opens enough to allow for use.
Things I've tried:
Reboot imac
Open iSync (see above)
Restore iPhone
Let it sit for hours to see if it will finish
I suspect that it has to do with it thinking that this is a new iTunes library but I'd really like to get it back to the way it was.
Details:
iTunes 7.6.1
MacOS 10.5.1 (PPC)
iPhone firmware 1.1.3
Any help appreciated, I did a little searching (probably not enough), but didn't come up with much. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
nb

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade the the iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great.

ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great. i mean its like my iphone 4 with iOS 7 in its best days. i hope no to get stuck again, i mean please let me go to the iOS 7)).

Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
    1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated! Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
    2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
2. In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox. That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
1. press the microphone.
2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this: 123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
4. press the microphone
   5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

Hey Markwoody,
Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
How to reset
- You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
- To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?
If its not possible, how do I go back to the old os?

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

Low memory iPad 2 after 8.1.1 upgrade

ipad2 after 8.1.1 upgrade receive low memory warning when using a link to another website from a website. Has anyone seen this?

Hey there saint38,
I you are still getting this error message when opening links in the Safari app, I would next quit all the running apps on your device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Only "Headphones" sound, no speaker sound after 4.2.1 upgrading

After I had finished upgrading 4.2.1 firmware for my iPad, the speaker's sound has gone.
I can hear the sound from my iPad only when I connected to any headphones or bluetooth devices.
I tried many methods to get the sound back, starting from:
1. trying to plug in and out my headphone - nothing changed
2. switch on and off from the mute button (former is lock button) but it only showed "Headphones" or "Mute" sign.
3. shut down and turn on my iPad - nothing changed
4. Hard Reset my iPad and Restore - Still no sound, but I had to re-install everything again
5. Ask everyone and search every "no sound from iPad" topics but found none like mine.
However, while I upgraded the firmware, I noticed that I "locked" the screen during the process and I heard someone in the internet told me that it might be the origin of my problem.
I tried to sync my iPad and find how to re-upgrading the firmware again with no "locked" the button but there is no way to.

I've been having this problem for several months and just found this thread. Unfortunately the solution isn't well spelled out, but I was able to resolve the issue.
To recap:
Problem: Many/most non-Apple Apps have no sound from the iPad internal speaker. Plugging headphones in provides sound from all apps. Apple Apps (youtube, music, video, safari, etc) continue to function and play sound out of internal speakers normally.
Resolution: This issue appears to be related to the 'mute' / screen orientation lock button. If your iPad mute switch was on mute when you switched it to orientation lock, 3rd party apps will remain muted via internal speakers no matter what you do. Luckily an easy fix: Go Settings -> General and switch from 'lock rotation' to mute. Slide the switch to the non-muted position. You can now switch back to 'lock rotation' and your apps will play sound from the internal speaker again!!!

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.

i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,
Clinton
