Upgrade to 4.1 causes car problems?

Anyone else having problems?
I just spent $50 upgrading my $200 Honda iPod audio system to work with my iPod Touch. Things were running fine. Then, along comes Apple with 4.1. Now I have no control over the iPod. It might as well be one of those cheap audio only connections that will work w/any mp3 player. Even that Zune (spelling?) that Sheldon likes.
[A side note: I actually thought the iTunes "Restore" button meant to revert back to the former state and OS. So I pressed it for the first time today. Wooow, this button will restore your iPod to factory settings! Not good. So, (I think I'm going to be disappointed) does Apple support reverting back to the former OS version?... Hello?... (now I'm disappointed).
-thanks

( Let's see if this gets pulled )
Yes, as Sheldon says ...apple store geniuses are not geniuses...

Here's what I would suggest (and I'm not kidding): Find an apple store on a collage campus. They may not be on Apple's radar (i.e. they are franchises and do not show up on things like "find a store"). I bet you will find someone there who has wasted (I mean invested) their time into understanding more then the average apple associate. And even at my own Alma mater (Latin: "nourishing mother"), those people said to try and make it to one of the local apple club meetings.
Of course this is over kill for the care and feeding of an iPod - maybe.
If you haven't updated your iPod software (from my centric point of view):
Pros:
1) You would still be able to play videos on your TV and many iPod appliances. Now you need that authentication chip. This happened over a year ago.
2) (As we know) You will still be able to play audio on many iPod appliances. Now you need that authentication chip. This happened several months ago.
Cons:
1) (On some iPods) You wouldn't be able to listen to stereo music using bluetooth and a2dp. About a year ago. Up to then you could use bluetooth hands free, but not the stereo.
2) (On some iPods) You would not be able to use a bluetooth keyboard. This happened about a month ago.
Say, does anyone know what bluetooth protocol apple is using for their bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and iPod Touch? It is probably HID, but the people at RIM (i.e. BlackBerry) use SPP. So I would think many 3rd party keyboards use SPP (Serial Port Protocol). But, then, there are many posts about "I wish Apple would support SPP" because people want to build apps that interface with external HW that only supports SPP.
Humm... maybe I should start a new thread...

Upgrading RAM to 2GB causes application problems

Hi all,
I just upgraded my 2Ghz MBP from 1Gb RAM to 2Gb. I went into Westworld on Broadway and got them to do the install (Kensington). On reboot, we checked the System Profiler, and lo and behold, both DIMMs read OK, same speed, size, etc. Well, since then, what had been a remarkably stable system has had numerous troubles. I can't launch QuarkXpress 7.01 Universal while iTunes is running; iTunes seems to have broken something in it's relationship with my 30Gb Video iPod (reports an -59 error, unable to synch related to photos from iPhoto), Mail has quit on me twice, saying the index is damaged, and will be repaired on restarting Mail; the Finder stops working unexplicably, or just parts of it (just now I couldn't access the Apple menu). Oh, and I also just learned that my battery needs to be exchanged (its serial number is in the recall list)
Now, these things should not be a surprise to Apple.... is there some kind of adjustment I have to do to Tiger to get all my apps working seamlessly (like they did before the upgrade), just faster than before? I am a very heavy power user, and like to have 8 or so apps open at the same time. The idea behind the upgrade was to improve performance (especially of the Rosetta-using apps) but I certainly haven't got there.
Any advice or suggestions?
Cheers,
Bruce

Sweet!
You wouldn't believe the hassles I've had with bad RAM... it's to the point now that once Software problems are ruled out, the first thing I do is change the RAM.
Anyway! Enjoy the upgrade!

HT4859 If I upgrade to an Iphone 4s, can I delete the account from my old Iphone and will it cause any problems?

I have upgraded to an Iphone 4s from an Iphone, can I delete the icloud account of the old phone on my new one without it causing any problems? it seems to have a lot of storage (3.3Gb)

You should be able to copy all of your purchases (apps, music, films etc) from your current iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. As long as they remain available in the store then apps can be re-downloaded, music can be re-downloaded in some countries, and TV shows and films in fewer (and even where films can be re-downloaded not all film studios have agreed to it) - ringtones and audiobooks can't be re-downloaded.
Re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
In terms of the apps content and settings, then if you backup the phone to your computer's iTunes then you should be able to restore that backup onto your new phone : how to backup and restore. Passwords (email, router, website) won't be restored onto a different device so you will need to re-enter them on your new phone.
You can also copy photos off your current phone. Just in case the backup and restore doesn't work (it should but it's best to be safe), you may also want to copy any important documents off your current phone as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop. Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade b/c of memory. Could this cause the problem?

I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop. Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade past OS 5.1.1. b/c of memory (1st generation iPad and iPhone 4s). Could this cause the problem after the release of the new OS?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

TS5376 Downloading the upgrade to 11.1.4 has caused timewasting problems and errors - R6034 - and no solution. What's gone wrong?

Downloading the upgrade for iTunes to 11.1.4 has caused timewasting problems and error message such as R6034. I have followed Apple's advice to reinstall iTunes, but still have the problem or error messages and no iTunes. What's going on? Upgrades until now have all worked smoothly.

Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following user tip?

Will 16Gb RAM on a Early 2011 2.7 Ghz i7 Macbook 13" cause any problem? Also i plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion, will it work?

I want to upgrade my machine with 16 GB RAM, it already has a G.Skill single RAM chip of 8gb. need help with the following. Will upgrading to 16Gb RAM on a Early 2011 2.7 Ghz i7 Macbook 13" cause any problem? Also i plan to upgrade to Mountain Lion, will it work?

It won't cause you any issues or problems....
it is however, suggested you install the same brand RAM that are of the same specs....
1333MHz........
Installing different brands with different CL speed might cause issues....
so if you already have a G.Skill RAM installed, then install the same brand.

The upgrade to Firefox 4 is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall it and go back to using the previous version?

Firefox 4 is absolutely awful - it is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall Firefox 4 and go back to the previous version of Firefox?

According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.

I use the SCC mediaserver in my work, and the crop function has stopped working on Firefox, although it works on Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if a recent upgrade caused that problem.

I am a newspaper copy editor and use Firefox to work from home. I use the SCC mediaserver to crop photos and place them in the JazBox system, which includes Adobe InCopy and InDesign. For some reason, the crop function is not working on the SCC when I go on it in Firefox, although it's working in Internet Explorer, which is much slower. I didn't have this problem until I installed a Firefox update today. What can I do?

Try to update to Firefox 8.0.1
You can find the latest Firefox release here:

Can MDAC installation cause navigation problems within the portal?

Hello,
I have a client who having problems loading page links in our second level navigation. Evertime time she clicks on node to expand the tree of links, she gets a "loading" message. I see this all the time but this message doesn't go away. She also gets a javascript error on the page stating it cannot find the specify module. She notice the problem around the time of her MDAC file installation. Do anyone know if this can cause a problem for navigation on the portal?
Thank you,
Francis

You made this bed by over complicating your site. Simple solution, take your pages out of sub-folders. Nobody but you cares about the .html extensions. IMO, it's a very poor reason for using sub-folders.

Presently, you must be using document relative link paths. Either switch to Site Root Relative links which will likely work on your remote server but fail to test locally. Or use absolute URLs (http://). The downside with this is that DW won't be able to manage links for you.

After upgrading to Acrobat X Pro, having problems editing text

I just upgraded to Acrobat X Pro from Acrobat 8 Professional. I've opened a document (created in Acrobat 8) and when I try to edit the text, it all seems fine until I try to save it. Then the formatting goes awry. The spacing between paragraphs disappears and the document is one solid block, so to speak. I've tried various methods of text editing/saving but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.
russ

While editing is allowed its just meant to correct a misspelling here or there. Not whole sentences. Another thing that can affect light editing of PDF with Acrobat on OSX.6.7.
On some applications bad fonts (use FontBook) to verify your fonts. Open Fontbook without any applications on (such as acrobat, Reader, Ms Office). select all fonts. in click on box that shows fonts. Randomly select a font. The hold command key(⌘) press A, that selects all fonts. Look for and use Verify Fonts. Any fonts that can not be verified, or repaired with a Font reair Program should be removed.
also while all fonts are selected, look for an use reconcile Fonts. This looks for Duplicate fonts. In some cases the same application would use one version one time andanother another time thus causing spacing problems. click on each one found and see which is duplicated. Disable the oldest version.
do this with all duplicate fonts found.
If the above corrects the problem, locate disabled fonts, User >Library >Fonts disabled and Main Library Fonts disabled remove to desktop Make archives and place archives in safe place( in case you need to swap fonts).
Next if you have X.6.7 Install this Patch: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377. This corrects some font problems caused by the OSX.6.7 the update that affects Adobe Products, (such as Acrobat, Reader Indesign and others, As well as Microst Products for Mac)

Can't upgrade from 9.04 without graphical problems maybe from ATIextension?

Hello,
I figured before I make the leap into purchasing a new machine (Mac or PC-still not sure) I'd post a reoccuring problem with my old Power Mac G4. I have tried on a number of occasions to upgrade from the 9.04 preinstalled system to 9.1 and then even higher. 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 to no success. I'll explain. Here are my machine specs:
---Power Mac G4
---400mhz (I believe it is an AGP Graphic not a PCI)
---512mb ram
---10gb hd, but i have a 120gb wd internal in the upper brack spot right above the 10g. I've been using the 120 gb split in 2 partitions as my 9.04 startup disk.
---external zip 250 usb attached.
---LaCie 52x cd burner attached via firewire
Everytime I try to run the update (and I have downloaded these more than once, thinking maybe it was corrupt on download) it leaves trails on my screen. For instance, when I scroll up and down in windows using the arrows all the text corrupts to the point you can't read it. If you move the windows around the screen that leaves trails and corrupts as well. I took some time and I think narrowed it down (maybe). If I remove the NEW ATI graphics extensions from the extensions folder (the ones from 9.1 install and replace them with the 9.04 (ones from my startup disk). The problem vanishes. So in a sense I'm running 9.1 with 9.04 ATI extensions. I did what the read me says for installing the update and I believe the firmware was up to date where it called for.
The overall hope was to maybe someday put OS X on this G4, which if I remeber correctly you're suppose to be able to do on a mac this old. But I'm having no luck what so ever.
Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I can keep this machine running a bit longer before having to invest in another one.
Thanks again.

Hi, Creative -
One thing that comes to mind is that OS 9 (at least 9.1 and later, maybe earlier, too) installs two ATI extensions when only one is needed, the one specific to the kind of graphics card in the machine. Having both active can cause some problems.
Specifically, the two extensions are named -
ATI Rage 128 3D Accelerator
ATI Radeon 3D Accelerator
Check in Apple System Profiler (on ASP's Devices & Volumes page, click the info triangles on the bus labelled PCI) to determine which card you have, Rage or Radeon, and then disable (or remove) the extension for the other kind of card.

10.4.6 causes BAD problems on powerBook G4's

I downloaded the 10.4.6 upgrade and now I have a serious problem when I close my computer lid and put it to sleep. It now shuts down on it's own. This NEVER happened until I downloaded this upgrade. I spoke with someone else with the same problem. We both have the latest PowerBooks 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4 with 2 GB of memory and now running this 10.4.6. WE Never had problems before this upgrade and we both had this problem immediately after. What is also interesting is that when I press the power key to restart it since opening the lid or pressing a key does nothing. When it reboots my clock and calendar reverts back to what you would have if the battery was removed.
[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator ]

1. Does your PowerBook model require the Aluminum PowerBook (15-inch) Battery Update?
2. Have you reset the PMU?
3. The April issue of MacWorld suggests that users experiencing this problem delete the files, com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com.apple.AutoWake.plist, both of which are found in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/. (I would suggest that rather than deleting these files, you move them to your Desktop and then restart your machine. If the files aren't recreated by the system, then you should replace the files you moved to the Desktop.)
4. If these don't help, run Apple Hardware Test from the Install & Restore DVD that shipped with your PowerBook. If that doesn't give you any clues as to the cause of your problem, then consider taking the machine in to be looked at.
Good luck.

Could you please take my three ibooks, Foreign Matter, Total Moisture and The Cad, off your site? They're causing me problems.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This doesn't mean I don't love you, but could you please take my three ibooks off your site? I'm engaged in a promotion program with Amazon, and the books' availability on iTunes is causing me problems.
I had thought this was taken care of weeks ago, when I changed my arrangement with Smashwords, through whom the books were sent to you, but they're still for sale:
Foreign Matter is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/foreign-matter-in-trouble/id445211125?mt=11;
Total Moisture is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/total-moisture/id471795672?mt=11; and
The Cad is still at itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-cad/id476426186?mt=11.
I'd be so grateful if you could eliminate them from your site.
Happy thoughts,

Dual Monitor Causing System Problems?

Hi, I'm new to this site, so I hope this is where I ask this question! My design group switched to G5/Cinema Display screen from old g4 setups mid 2005. I retained my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2020u monitor to use as a secondary display for pallettes, extra files, etc. It's hooked up using a dvi-vga adapter.
My new G5 had hiccups from the start, but around March 2006 I started getting Kernel Panics almost every week, serious slow-downs, Adobe app crashes, etc. It got to the point that I was troubleshooting every week, but could never put a finger on exactly what was happening. IT archive-installed 10.4.4 after we discovered the system had been updated to 10.4.6 and we thought that would solve the problem. While that solved the issues that were relevant to 10.4.6 glitches, it didn't fix everything and little, persistent problems remained, including stalls, crashes and kernel panics. After removing suspect fonts, wallpaper, icons, updating software, repairing permissions, tossing preferences, and other troubleshooting over and over, we (I.T.) finally switched my cpu to another one in the department using data migration (just my user information, not software or other files). Still the same hiccups and even new glitches appeared (InDesign crashing on spellcheck, Photoshop not granting me access to save changes to files, etc.), including two more Kernel panics (within 5 minutes of each other) in the two weeks since we switched hardware. More troubleshooting fixed the app-specific problems, but there are still the persistent annoyances occurring.
I again did all the troubleshooting mentioned above and finally someone mentioned that I'm the only designer in our group using a dual display set-up. Could there be validity to the non-cinema display monitor causing these problems and if so, what is the solution? I've disconnected the second monitor for now, but would love to have it back. Also, we work with a server (for instance, the kernel panics only happen when I try to place a file from the server into InDesign CS2 using the place command, so there's another avenue to go down if the monitor isn't the issue.)Thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) graphic design applications
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) graphic design applications
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) graphic design applications

I only just disconnected the monitor, so it will take time to tell if that's a factor. As for the kernel panics, although it's always the same scenario (placing images from server through InDesign) they happen very randomly; it's not happening every single time I place a file. In fact, I just placed an image on the server into an ID doc I have on my desktop, no problem. So I can't say for sure that it has happened when working from my desktop or only when working on the server.
