Updated to 10.4.11 and now it my ethernet says it failed
I went from 10.4.3 to 10.4.11 and afterwards I can't connect to anything. when I got into the network preferences and try to set up a new connection via DHCP, renew dhcp is greyed out. When i run diagnostic it tells me that the eithernet (and firewire, and everything else) failed. How do I fix this?
Hi Evilwon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
Where are we now, and what does System Profiler say about Ethernet & Firewire?

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -

I thought is was too much of a coincidence that the adapter went out the same day, but sure enough it did. Just replaced it and it works fine. Thanks

I just updated to 10.9.2 and now my monitor cannot rotate
I just updated to 10.9.2 and now my palette monitor has:
1) Lost the ability to rotate
2) Forgotten my background image
3) Changed resolution
It is a LG Flatron E2351.
I have found others having similar problems and one person has solved it using 'sudo' commands in the command window (something I'm not up to doing) and that scares me a bit... especially since the problem seems to recur after a second reboot.
This is a MASSIVE oversight by Apple and i'm quite upset that they would not allow 3RD party monitors or displays!
I use mine (as mentioned) as a palette for video and graphics purposes... and because I cannot fit 2x landscape monitors.
This needs to be ammended ASAP by Apple. I expect public outcry... I'm hopeful for it... Just like the removal of "mail merge" from Numbers... I'm starting to scratch my head at Apples [P.J.] decisions "post Jobs".My colleagues and I have a similar type issue after upgrading from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.
We all use mid-2011 Macbook Pro's and also use a sapphiretech Vid-2x displayport to dual DVI adapter. This adapter essentially bonds two additional external displays into one large monitor. i.e. two 24-inch displays now become "one" supporting 3840x1080 resolution. The only caveat to using this adapter is that both monitors need to be of the same model. There are no drivers needed to use this hardware adapter.
We don't have displayports per se, rather we use the thunderbolt port. The Vid-2x adapters have worked fine for us from 10.7 - 10.9.1.
Since some of us upgraded to 10.9.2 we've all experienced the same issue in that the Mac no longer recognizes the Vid-2x as being capable of the proper 3840x1080 resolution we require. The best we can get is 3200x1200. Another interesting note is that there are at least three different model pairs of monitors being used by us (Samsung, Asus, Dell). -
Updated to 10.8.2 and now none of the MS Office 2011 are working
Recently, I updated to 10.8.2 and now, none of my Microsoft Office products are launching (2008 or 2011). Any ideas what how this upgrade could have so adversely affect Office and what can be done to correct it?
We had to completely uninstall MS Office and all associated files. Then we reloaded the app. After a few reboots it worked fine. When I got on the computer today and received the Mt Lion update I was dead in the water again. I'm really not looking forward to going through the entire exercise again not knowing if the next time Apple sends out an update the same will happen.

I recently updated to 10.8.2 and now my notes from my iphone no longer appear in my mail nor do my calender appointments. Is there any way to change it so they will appear?
If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the drive is toast.
BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened
Yesterday I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened, although the overall system stays up. I updated to the latest Java and iTunes 11.1.2 at the same time. When I open Safari now, it pauses for a few seconds without going to the home page and then I get the spinning beach ball. I get two messages: One says that the plug-in for SplashID Safe has not been tested with this version of Safari (a message that I had been getting before the update and never caused a problem). The other message says, "Crash Protection It appears that Safari didn't quit properly. Do you want Glims to re-open your tabs anyway?" It gives me a choice to click "Cancel" or "OK". I have tried clicking them (before the beach ball appears) and it makes no difference. The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date.
The only available crash report is almost a month old and therefore is of no help.
I made a back-up with SuperDuper just before updating and can reverse the update if I do it soon, but I would like to get this working.
I would appreciate any advice.

How do I uninstall Glims? -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? We share iTunes account so I think we are both on the same iCloud.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using the same ID as a primary iCloud login, then yes she can see your photos in photostream if you have it enabled.
You can use the same ID for iTunes so you can share all your purchases, but you need different ID's for iCloud.
Unfortunately, the mess caused by sharing the ID, will need to be sorted manually, once you both have your own ID's. -

I recently did an update to my iphone 4s and now I have lost all my custom ringtones as well as some music I had loaded. I did a restore and backup but nothing changes. What have I done wrong?
Hello Chance1985,
Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.
