After installing lion my superdrive does not read dvds

After the genious bar installed lion my superdrive does not read dvds. I put in the dvds and the drive churns for a bout 3 minutes and the spits out the dvds full of scratches.
I have read online that other people have had similar problems with lion.
Is there fix for this? or does anyone know if apple care covers this?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try loading a DVD again.

HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2. It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago. I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in. I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar. That was the problem.

IPhoto does not start up after upgrading

On my new iMac iPhoto does not start up after migrating. Upgrade from iPhoto 6/Snow Leopard > Lion 10.7.1 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When the conversion is finished I can see the new library, it works allright. And with packet-inspection (or how is that called in English) all maps & data seems to be OK; I can check the seperate pics.
But: iPhoto won't start up a second time (grey screen with infinite spinning wait cursor). The same thing is happening when I add a new library and drop in some pictures.
What can cause this problem?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

SuperDrive does not read DVDs, but burns them correctly.

Here is what happens:
DVD Rom (CS4 DVD: doesn't read, OSX 10.5 DVD: reads) STRANGE...
DVD-R Video and DVD-R Rom (burned today by this MacPro with Disk Utility and Verified OK: Asks what to do - like with empty DVDs. On the iMac the same DVD video works perfectly)
CD works fine
I already reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but didn't work.
Any suggestion?

On an iMac here it works perfectly. I forgot to mention that, but I tried of course. None of the 4 DVD rom from the CS4 design premium works on the Mac Pro.
The strange thing is that the OSX install DVD works, the iLife 09 DVD works as well.
The CS4 DVD rom does not.
Another VERY strange thing is that I burned a DVD video from Disk Utility (from an iDVD img file). After the DVD was finished Disk Utility verified the burned data, everything was ok so it ejected the DVD.
I loaded the disk back in and the Finder said: Empty disk, open in finder, disk utility, etc... Then I loaded the disk in the iMac and the DVD player started to play back the DVD-R.
The system was upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, so I tried with a clean install I have on a secondary disk (I thought about broken extensions due to the upgraded OS). The problem stays the same.
This makes me think it is a problem not depending from the OS installation, but maybe from PRAM or NVRAM or other stuff on a different layer. I reset PRAM and the problem is still there.
Maybe I need to reset the firmware of the Superdrive or get some suggestion on a physical cleaning of the device, maybe it's just some dust in there...

Photoshop 5.1 does not open up after upgrading to Yosemite on a 2009 mac book pro

Adobe Photoshop 5.1 does not work after installing upgrade Yosemite. I have a mac book Pro - 2009

Have seen CS3 (I have) mentioned as working with Maverick/Yosemite
Current Photoshop is creative cloud - you do not have to purchase all elements - instead of lump sum, Adobe charges a monthly license fee - the software resides on your mac - and the mac has to check in once a month to keep the license going - updates are part of the deal.
CS6 apparently is still available if you want to pay the lump sum for an upgrade.

Computer does not sleep automatically after upgrading to Windows 8.1?

I have Windows 8.1 and my laptop will not sleep even though its settings are set on a time frame to automatically - used to sleep perfectly fine without any issues before on Windows 8. I'm sure I don't have any applications such as, Windows Media Player
running or etc. that prevents my computer from sleeping because I've tested it with no applications running and does the same thing. The only thing it does is dimming and turns of the display on time. This is frustrating and inconvenient that I always have
to manually sleep through power settings, please help me fix this!
**I've heard this isn't just my problem and many people also experience the same issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1**
Please see attached photo below:

Thank you for your suggestion, Carey Frisch! I've left homegroup but it doesn't seem to temporary band-aid the issue. I've tried the other solutions there but I'm left to no avail.
"Hopefully Windows 8.2, which is slated to drop in the first half of January 2014, will address this sleeping pandemic, for now we all have to leave with Microsoft’s shenanigans."
I hope Microsoft addresses this issue as I'm not the only user who has this problem and fixes it in a soon coming update! Do something about it Microsoft!
I guess all we can do is play the waiting game and hope Microsoft listens...

IPod Nano does not display songs after upgrading to iTunes 7.1 & SW1.3

After installing iTunes 7.1 on my WIN machine and connecting my iPod nano iTunes asked me about upgrading my iPod's firmware. After I did this all the songs on my iPod where gone. When I connect my iPod to iTunes I see that 3,8 GIG is still in use, which should be correct, and it states it is analyzing song for "gapless playback". However, my songs don't show up in iTunes, nor on the iPod. I rebooted the firmware on the iPod (menu+select) but no results.
a) how to get my songs back to my iPod without going thru a factory reset?
b) how to get rid of iTunes 7 and V. 6 back?
Thank in advance.

Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).
This Apple document may help too -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

Workspace webapp does not open up after upgrade to EPM11.1.2.2

Hi All, After upgrading EPM11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 the Workspace does not open up on IE8/9. Note that HSS works fine.
I get the below error:

The system is not available due to initialization errors.

There was an error initializing system registry: Workspace product node has multiple logical webapps. Check Registry contents..
</body>

I have ran the registry-cleanup.sh script but it did not detect any issues with Workspace related nodes.
Anyone has faced a similar issue?
Thanks,
Kent

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply.
Before the upgrade it, HSS+Workspace+EAS+APS used to run on OHS. I have now configured all the managed servers to run on Embedded WebLogic server, so we are no longer using the 19000 OHS (web server) port.
I try to access Workspace from port 28080 as follows: http://foundation-server.company.com:28080/workspace/index.jsp
I have successfully used the same EPM11.1.2.2 upgrade configuration in DEV and QA and workspace opens up on 28080 (though there are issues with it running on IE9.. but that seems to be an isolated issue). So I will look for duplicate Workspace entries in the registry report ..
Thanks,
Kent

Itunes does not start anymore after upgrade to 6.05.20

I upgraded itunes to the current version and after that itunes does not start anymore. I scanned for virus with an up-to-date scanner, scanned for adware with Windows defender and ewido and used the tips from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
I run itunes on Windows Server 2003 which worked fine for three years. I know it is officially supported on XP only.
I deinstalled itunes and reinstalled afterwards no change. The windows event log shows some erors
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 6.0.5.20, faulting module shell32.dll, version 6.0.3790.2662, fault address 0x0015af84.
Any other idea?
Thanks
Christoph

ok, so I am not sure if this is legal or not, but there is a site called oldversion. Go there, and you can get past versions of applications such as aim , and in this case, itunes. just uninstall your other itunes first.
Sometimes different versions of appications run better on different computers. this new itunes probably just has something the last one didnt that cant run with what you have on your computer

Bluetooth does not work well after upgrade to win 8.1 from win 8

System: Dell Inspiron 15R 5520
Bluetooth hardware: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) 4.0 + High Speed Adapter
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
Ever since I upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1, the bluetooth has not been working well.
The option to browse a remote folder or send a file does not work.
I can send a file only by opening the contaning folder, right click, and send to bluetooth, but cannot receive a file unless I go to
run and then open fsquirt.exe .
I have unpaired and uninstalled the devices respectively, and then reinstalled and repaired them. But this does not work .either.
Unfortunately, I am unable to paste screenshots of the device manager and error messages until I am verified.
Can anyone give me a solution to this problem?

Verify that you have the latest drivers for Windows 8.1 installed from the manufacturer's website.

Transport service does not start automatically after upgrade to exchange 2010 SP2 from Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade Exchange 2010 SP2 from SP1, but Transport service does not start automatically.
Tried manually start services, it started successfully but again goes down within few seconds automatically.
Reboot server. but no luck.
Any help.
MD

Hi,
I recommend you use event viewer to check if there are any relate event logs. This may help us to find the cause.
In addition, as Amit mentioned, Exchange 2010 SP2 isn't supported by Microsoft, I think upgrading to SP3 is a much more sensible approach.
Thanks.

SXMB_MONI does not show payload after upgrade to SP15

Hi there,
We have installed SP15 in our system, everything seems to be working OK with exception of the SXMB_MONI which now does not show the Payload in the SOAP output/response.
Does anyone know if this is a know bug/functionality of SP15?
Thanks,
Roberto

The other OSS note:
SAP Note Number: 917885
XI: Attachments werden im Message-Monitoring nicht angezeigt
Version: 1, Note Language: EN, Released on: 01/27/2006
Symptom
An XML message contains attachments with mime types different from application/xml. When clicking on the attachments in Message-Monitoring for that message, the attachments cannot be displayed!
Error message is: "Format of the document cannot be displayed"
Other terms
SXI_MONITOR, SXMB_MONI, Runtime Workbench, XI, RWB, Message Display Tool, MDT
Reason and Prerequisites
Before displaying an attachment, Message Monitoring checks the mime type of the message with a list of supported types. Since there are several mime types for some applications, like powerpoint or excel, the check is not exhaustive.
Solution
The attached correction instruction adds additional mimetypes for powerpoint, excel, and word. The patch is included in SP17 for NW04 and SP7 for NW04s.
Actually both of these notes don't exactly indicate that the issue will be fixed in terms of the payload. We are going to apply it and see if it fixes the issue. I will update this forum when i try it out.
Regards,
Jay

Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP). It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work. Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet.
When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep. There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up. The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday.
Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.
