USB Devices (XP10) no longer recognised after 10.6.3 update

I updated to 10.6.3 last night, looking forward to the "improve the reliability of 3rd party USB input devices".
I have 2 external sound cards (for MP3 mixing), and now nether of them are recognized when I plug them in. I tried reinstalling the drivers from the manufactures site to no avail.
For the record, they are EKS XP10s ... so anyone else thinking of upgrading beware. If I ever figure out a fix I'll post here .... if anyone can give me a steer in the right direction ... I'll buy you a beer.

I had a similar problem with my "HiFi Link" USB Audio device after upgrading to 10.6.3 (Combo). I eventually got it to work after various disconnections & restarts, but it presented as "Unknown USB Audio Device". After reading a similar thread (Carson Gaspar, Mar 30), I tried changing the USB connection from a keyboard port to a main port on the IMac - at first, the device disappeared altogether but, after another restart, there it was, working & correctly identified at last! A shame Apple highlighted the USB compatibility because it seems to be one of the things that 10.6.3 has screwed up!

USB Hub(s) no longer working after 10.8.5 update

Installed the 10.8.5 update via software update on my iMac 3.4Ghz i7 (no DVD drive) and had the Bluetooth unavailable issue I have seen mentioned elsewhere. Managed to restore Bluetooth via a restartwith all USB devices disconnected. However I have two USB hubs that no longer work. One is a colourful freebie so maybe not a surprise but the other is a powered D link USB 2.0 DUB-H7 which worked fine before the update. Now no device that is connected to it is recognized no matter which USB port the hub is plugged in to. Leaves me somewhat short of USB ports.

I've been struggling with this for 2 days, since I upgraded to 10.8.5 which I needed to go to get the latest iTunes, which I needed to upgrade my iPhone and iPad to IOS7 . . . yes, right down the garden path I walked
MacBook Pro 17", early 2009.
After the 10.8.5 upgrade Bluetooth is Not Available, same as seanluck13.
-System Preferences: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Search: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Profile Information: Bluetooth: No Information Found
-So Bluetooth is absent, removed, not present -- AGHHHHH!!!!!
Apple BT keyboard and trackpad can't be used. MacBook trackpad is worn out and I get wrist strain trying to activate it!
I read on a forum that a fix was to reinstall the system over the internet after a CMD-OPT-R restart. Did that -- 5 HOURS LATER -- NO CHANGE, BLUETOOTH STILL ABSENT !@(%&( )TY(@Q#*!!
Please someone help me before I throw this Mac down the garbage shoot. At the moment that's only a fantasy.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website. I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update. However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens. There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks,
James.

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

My USB Superdrive is no longer recognised what do I do?

I recently purchased a USB Superdrive with a new Macbook Air. I have used it twice and now it is no longer recognised by my laptop, so I can't use it.
Someone said this might have something to do with settings in Lion, and that an update may have been the problem.
Would anyone know how to fix this??

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

USB devices disapear and only reappear after a full power down

Hi All
Has anyone seen this before, The USB devices (Mouse/Kboard/ilok) started to be flaky and then disappeared. After a soft restart the Mouse and keyboard came back but not the Ilok. After a hard reset eg pulling power for 30sec everything has come back. Is this a sign of things to come, power supply issues etc?
Thank you
Mal

In some cases, the keyboard plus mouse is right at the edge of acceptable power draw, and adding anything to the second keyboard outlet causes it to malfunction or over-power and drop out.
The Mac Pro has separate power budgets for the front ports in total and the back ports in total, so one approach might be to plug in the other stuff on the other side.

Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

Hi,
Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
SplashID
Daily Devo
Daily Light (Love)
Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others. I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password. I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
EDIT: Never mind. It appears that it only did that on the first launch. I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.

My Local Adjustment Brushes no longer recognized after LR 4.3 update

After running 4.3 update, my local adjsutment brushes are no longer recognized and appearing in the Lightroom GUI. They are all still located under 'Lightroom' folder --> 'Local Adjustment Brushes' folder (nothing has changed and I see all files are still there in Finder), but no matter how many times I've restarted LR, they are not showing up in the GUI.
Please advise ASAP!! Thank you

It's not clear from your initial problem description, but are you talking about local adjustment presets that you have created yourself (i.e. user presets), or are you talking about the standard presets supplied by Lightroom (Burn, Dodge, Soften Skin, etc)?
If it's the latter, go to Preferences>Presets Tab and click on "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

IPod is recognised via USB, but all other devices are no longer recognised.

After a year of good work, at one moment the USB ports on the front of the computer doesn't recognise any device, except the Ipod Touch 4G wich is working fine. All other devices are not capable of communicating with the PC using USB-ports (camera's, SD-cardreaders, TomTom, etc.). It might have something todo with the IOS 4.2.1 upgrade (Apple), but I'am not sure. Any solutions/suggestions please?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you check for possible BIOS updates for your computer or the other devices you want to connect?

My usb keyboard is no longer detected after the power was switched off

I sometimes relocate my Imac to another office and after the power has been switched off the computer no longer detects my usb keyboard.
This had happened several times now and sometimes it all of a sudden starts working again after a couple of hours (but it doesn't now).
The computer keeps searching for a wireless keyboard which I don't have. I have tried everything from switching off power again to reboothing, but nothing works. I have checked all USB ports with other devices and they all work. The problem is not the keyboard itself, because it does work when I plug it in to my MacBook.
Anyone recognize this?

Yes, to a blue tooth mouse only. I have tried disabling the blue tooth connection, but when i restart my computer it automatically connects again.
I got the keyboard to start working again now by pressing all the keys one by one (in order to discharge them, read that somewhere). I helped. But how annoying is that?!

USB ports no longer working after 10.4.7 update

Hi, I ran the latest update (10.4.7) on my machine which is a G4 Quicksilver PowerPC. I have an Apple 17 inch flat screen display that has two USB ports attached. I had my keyboard plugged into one of the USB ports on my flat screen. After the update both USB ports on the flat panel no longer work! I can use the USB ports directly off the G4 itself and it works fine. Has anyone seen this issue? I guess I am stuck now until Apple decides to fix this?
Thanks,
Rob

In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

First Generation iPad No Longer Recognised after iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 updates, help me!

I recently updated the version of iTunes on my early '06 iMac (17" 1.86GHz Intel Core Duo, 32-bit, 1.5GB RAM, OS X 10.6.8), to version 10.6 and the version of iOS on my first model iPad to 5.1. Since the update, it no longer shows up in iTunes despite it working perfectly fine.
There is nothing wrong with the hardware or the connecting cables, I am unable to diagnose any possible cause of the issue as no error messages are presented on either the iPad or in iTunes. I cannot use my iPad without connectivity with my desktop computer.
Is this problem a bug in iTunes 10.6 or iOS 5.1?
Frankly I am appalled, it seems as though Apple didn't fully test either update before release.
And I am not going to use Wi-Fi sync as a workaround. I need the security provided by a direct cable connection to the machine my iPad is synced with.

Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.

USB Card Reader no longer works after Lion update.

My USB card reader/writers no loger work since I "upgraded" to Lion 10.7.4. All was well with Snow Leopard, but with no built-in SD card reader I must rely on USB readers. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Are there updates avaiable or coming soon to resolve this issue?

Hi MissMedia 83 and welcome to the forums!!
This has been a trend that a lot of AppleCare advisors have been seeing as call drivers. Essentially, many of the USB internet modems that are used widely require a 32bit kernel to operate. In Snow Leopard, although the system was in 64bit by defauly, people had the option of booting the computer into a 32bit mode to use the USB modems successfully.
With Lion, however, no such options exists. If your USB modem device is only compatible with a 32bit machine, then your only options are to either downgrade to Snow Leopard or find a different provider that supports 64bit.
Sorry to be the bearer of crappy news. My suggestion is to use something like a pocket wifi or personal hotspot, where you have a wifi network that is being created by a small device that connects to the cell network. Much much easier and your computer thinks it's just a regular wifi network.
This is what I think the issue is anyway. Could be wrong.
Any other suggestions?
