Vista license problems since updating to Leopard

I installed Windows Vista through Boot Camp Beta several months ago when I was on Tiger, and registration/activation went fine, and I've never had any problems with it. However, a few weeks after upgrading to Leopard and installing the new drivers, I started receiving warnings in my Windows session that I "may be a victim of software counterfeit", which I mostly ignored, but now it seems thirty days has passed since "my activation period expired" and it's denying me access to Windows without activation. Automatic online activation reads my copy of Windows as invalid, and when I enter the Product Key manually, it tells me the Product Key is already in use.
It's telling me I have to enter another product key if I have one, or buy a new product key/license. I paid full price for my copy of Vista from a valid software retailer - how is it that my computer/Windows no longer recognizes that the product key is in use because it was used by me, and how can I reset it so it works? I tried reinstalling Windows, and all I got was the same message about the product key with another 30 days to resolve the problem.

You can activate it via telephone to MS.
You give them some info that your system generates and they give you a key. It's that simple.
It happened to me once and the whole process takes a few minutes.

Apple TV not showing up since update to Leopard

We have three networked computers, mine being the one shared with the mac. Today, after my latest update (if that is relevant) I can not get it to show up in ITunes. And preferences for ITunes does not see the apple TV. It shows the shared itunes of the other computers, and the Apple TV shows my computer as being linked to it (but the name is ghosted out.) (If I select it however it gives me an option to break the link and lose the synced content.)
I did have the computer in for repairs this week. All seems to be the same, but there must be some setting that got changed.
I checked the firewall settings...is there not a way any more to turn this off? I am remembering that I could do that in the past but now I cannot find a place for this.

Thank you both...I have tried the suggestions and no breakthrough yet. Perhaps one of these days it will show up! Interesting in that it shows in itunes on the G4 computer which is not running Leopard just fine.
I may disconnect it on the Apple TV and hope it will show up then...if not I guess I will lose what is on it now. Perhaps another update will reconnect the two as I sense that a lot of people have had problems since the last Leopard Update.
If anyone else has a suggestion I would be grateful to hear it. I can actually ping from my computer to the IP address of the Apple TV, but in ITunes preferences it shows no sign of seeing any Apple TV. I have rebooted/unplugged modems and routers/studied every preference setting/repaired permissions.

Problem in update snow leopard 10.6. 2 to version 10.6.4 on Imac
27 "I7
When do the automatic update of version 10.6.2. to version

Does anyone know how to solve this? I happen to other customers?

Hi slbruilima
The best way to bring the system up to date from 10.6.2 is to download and install the 10.6.4 Combo Update from the following link. > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048

Problems since updating to iOS 7.

Hi everyone ! I got some problems since updating to iOS 7.My first problem is that my computer can't detect the photos from my iPhone 4.My second problem is that when I watch a video on Youtube or Facebook it keeps stopping for some seconds and then it plays normaly like it should.The third problem is that some apps change their look sometimes.What I mean is that the Calendar app sometimes takes a look from another app on the other page.So the calendar app sometimes looks like Minion Rush app.The calendar app isn't the only one app which does that.The fourth problem is that sometimes I can't acces the first page.My phone sometimes crashes when I try to swip to the first page.Does anyone has a solution for this or I will have to wait until next update in which they will maybe fix it ?

reset all settings
settings- general- reset - reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes

Quicktime player problems since installing Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard my Quicktime plays weird. The are sharp horizontal streaks and glitches where the picture smears (the only way I can describe it). If I restart or shut down and restart, that sometimes resolves the problem, but for only a short while.
Any suggestions from any of you pro guys out there?

Hi:
I'm not a pro, but I think I would download the OS X 10.6.4 combo updater and apply it. Something may have gone wrong with the initial update. Alternatively, I would reinstall OS X 10.6 from the software install DVD and then run software update.

Mail Problems since updating to Maverick 10.9.1

My Macmail on all my Apple devices no longer works since updating yesterday to Maverick 10.9.1. I have restarted, deactivated and reinstalled gmail via Macmail on all my devices (Macbook Pro, iPod 5, iPad and iPhone 5s). On my mobile devices the "Checking for mail wheel" just keeps spinning and spinning. On my Macbook I can't even get through the initial sign-in stage before an "unknown error" pops up. I have enadbled via Gmail the IMAP and POP. Nothing works. Anyone have a similar problem, hear anything about this problem or have a fix? Thanks for your help!

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it instead of the login password you use on the website.

Have anyone been having messaging problems since updating to iOS 6?

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 i could no longer send pictures to those who did not have an iPhone. Also I can only send pictures to other iPhone users thru iMessage. Another thing, when my iMessage is turned on it send iMessage text from my email address (Apple ID) instead of from my phone number.

Apple are working on it, many people have been having this probleme mainly on 4 an 4s. All you can do is wait for an upgrade, check this link for better battery life http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html or pick up a mophie juice pack.

Numbers problem since update, type reverts or disappears.

I have had a problem since i updated numbers after 4.2 came out. I keep tract of sales and to make it easier I copy and paste like information and change the customers name. Now that column reverts to the previous customer that I chnged. If i don't copy and paste that column the typing just disapears. Its driving me crazy does anyone know about this?

I am also running into this problem, and after scouring thru the discussion boards I came across this thread:

Importing SWF to PDf problem since updating 10.1.6

Ever since updating to 10.1.6 all of a sudden our SWF flash presentations have stopped importing to pdf correctly
In version 10.1.4 we used to right click the swf and then select open with Adobe Acrobat X which would allow us to make a pdf of our presentation without any issues and showing correctly,
since updating we can no longer do this without strange sizing issues
Now, in 10.1.6, when we import the swf the size is tiny and either a long strip horizontally or vertically and you have to zoom in 400% to see the document properly and it no longer reads the actual SWF extents and seems to have random extra document space around it
the sizing/scaling cropping of the swf in pdf is completely out, like its not respecting the flash document width and height and adding extra space....
also we have had to remove fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); as the swf wont work unless its removed
Has anyone had any similar problem with SFW since updating
in the image is a simple example 550 x 400 swf when it goes into pdf it ignores the document size and shpws extra space

Ive tried all the diferent stage scalemodes but it seems to automatically decide on what the extents should be when importing the swf wheras previously it would respect the document dimensions of the SWF
here is a pdf from swf file created a few days with acrobat version 10.1.4 on the left with one created today with 10.1.6 (document size is 1024 x 768 in flash), something has changed and I cant work out what it is - i have added an image resizing function to the image, which is why its constrainign to the view, but how did it come up with the tiny rectangle document size ?

Startup problem since updating to 10.5.8

Mac pro 2 x 2,66 GHz, Nividia Geforce 7300 GT, 2 Displays, cinema 20" and Eizo Flex Scan 30"
Since updating to 10.5.8. I have a start up problem, the mac starts very slowly,often when the desktop is build up on the main display, I get strange patterns on the display
and the machine hangs on. I have to force shut it down, after tree times the mac ist starting and working perfect. I set the PRam back, installed the system new from DVD and make automatic updates. Disable startup items.I made a hardware test. Controlled the disk permissions, the ideas for troubleshooting are going to the end. Cause I get the strange display behavior I think about problems with the nividia card and OS 10.5.8.
Have someone an idea for fixing? Thanks

You might install the 10.5.8 combo update, which contains all prior 10.5 updates. Sometimes, when using the software update function, it doesn't update completely and odd things can happen. The combo update is located at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html . Repair permissions before and after the installation.

Problem since updating to 9.3 on W7 64bt

I accepted the auto update for Acrobat Pro 9.3. No apparent problems with installation and when first used to view some PDFs I had no problems. Later in the session when I reopened the program it tries to reload all the previously viewed PDF, then Windows detects a fault and closes the program down with message “Adobe Acrobat 9.3 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”.
I’ve tried reapplying the update and rebooted the system a couple of times, but the problem persists.
Anyone else seeing this ?
Is there a way of starting Acrobat and deleting it’s preferences ?
Thanks in advance
Running Windows 7 64bit, no problems with lack of memory or disk space.

Following up to this;
I seem to have fixed the problem, through some guess work and experimentation.
I tried holding down the shift key when launching Acrobat Pro, hoping like some other Adobe programs it would launch without using it's standard preferences. That seemed to work and not every previous PDF loaded and eventually it stopped loading older PDFs and allowed me to access it's menus. I reset various options in preferences to their defaults and cleared the document history and have had no problems since then.
Hopefully this might help anyone else with similar problems.

Since updating to Leopard can't connect to server via internet

Since updating our server to Leopard I haven't been able to connect to it via the internet from home. Any ideas? Says verification failed when I try to re-add it. Ports 3283 and 5900 are open at both ends.
Edit: I just managed to access it using the root account. Any ideas why it's not working with the other admin accounts via the internet (they work when I'm local)?

It appears that the adding a user to the "allow access for" list corresponds to adding group membership, in the group "com.apple.access_ssh".
So, one way of brute-forcing a user into this list would be to add it to the group. One way of doing this at the command-line:
sudo dscl . append /Groups/com.apple.access_ssh GroupMembership whatever-my-admin-account-is-called
This will require a password and only work for people with sudo permission, natch.
CAVEATS:
1) I have no idea what you mean when you say "local" users. What distinguishes the "local" users from the others?
2) I do not know where the OS stores the information about whether or not the "All Users" radio button is checked. I just checked to see whether checking this box adds all users to the com.apple.access_ssh group, and I confirmed that it does not.

Iphone 4 bluetooth connectivity problems since updating to ios 5.01

My wife and I both have an Iphone 4 through verizon. I updated my ios to 5.01. Hers is still 4.3.10. Since updating mine the bluetooth feature have gone crazy. When I get in my truck (2008 Nissan Frontier) it just continually connects and disconnects with the built in blue tooth system in that vehicle. I cannot make or take a call on the system it just keeps dropping the connection then re-connecting. Funny thing is my wife's phone doesn't have this problem. It connects and functions normally.
I wanted to just roll back ios 5.0.1 but I've found out you aren't allowed to do that. Nissan has no updates for their bluetooth system either.
I have gone the extreme of completely wiping out my iphone and re-installing everything fresh and that has done nothing. I have also tried completely deleting all the phone saved in the truck's system and re-setting them up and that too has done nothing to fix the problem.
Anyone have a suggestion? I have to think that there is something in ios 5.0.1 that is messed up with bluetooth.

Interesting discussion. I too am having connection issues with an original iPad. I have an olde' linksys wrt54gs router with a Linksys RE1000 wireless extender (repeater). I can connect to the router just fine when I'm in range but can't use the repeater signal on this iPad only. Even when I'm right on top of it. One thing that may have helped is changing from WPA2 to simple WPA encryption in the routers settings. So far (crosses fingers), it's working ok.

Dang, one last problem since updating to 10.4.9 - all others fixed though!!

I have one last pesky problem since the update. About once a day my system will freeze, but it happens when I'm clicking on the mail icon in the doc, mail starts to come forward and about half way into my window everything freezes. I can't force quit or access any menus. I have mouse movement for about ten seconds or so then its a full lockup.
Could it be a mail program issue or maybe an issue with the doc?
thanks in advance for your help,
Brown.Recluse

Hi,
This may sound obvious, but have you tried removing the Icon from the dock and re-adding it?
Apps sometimes freeze in my dock, and this works for me.
Regards
