  • Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0.

    Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0. Is this the case with Ipad 4  I have a logictech keyboard and the ipad cant dicover it.  Please advise

    I wouldn't delete the firewall configuration as described above as you would lose all your rules that you have in place for your firewall. I do however think it could be a firewall rule issue. You could temporarily disable the firewall on the mac System Preferences > Security > Firewall to prove this without deleting all your rules by deleting that file. If this works then have a look at the rules you have in place and maybe make an exception to this set of rules.
    The 169..*. address you have is known as a APIPA address and is normally the address that you will receive when the DHCP client fails to find a DHCP server so this could be either sending or receiving data to the device that is blocked. DHCP needs to DORA (Discover, Offer, Receive and then Accept), which is a two way communication.
    Kind Regards

    having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we didn't get an opportunity to uninstall off of crashed machine?

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,

  • MbP Boot issues since last firmware upgrade

    We have about 15 MacBook Pro's at work here that have been running fine. I have about in my lab area that I do testing on.  Were working on getting them managed better, but at this time it's still the users job to run updates.  Last week I ran apple software update on my two local MbP and things seemed ok.  This week I went to re-image them to test a new image I created and troubles began.  It looked like it installed the image ok but when it went to boot - just gray Apple logo.  So going by standard procedure I got the gray DVD that came with it and attempted to boot up.  It gave me these beeps and the light in front came on three times.  I tried our white SL DVD - same thing.  So I tried to boot up the second MbP from both gray and white DVD's - same issue.
    So I did further testing and it seems that while our current image doesn't work, our Lion test image did. I found this odd but figured it must have been something with the last upgrade.  But since all the DVD's we have don't work we didn't really know what to do.  Thankfully we got our shipment of new MbP's that came with a 10.6.7 DVD.  We were able to boot up and re-image the machines ok. 
    So in the future, how would we know an upgrade is coming that would make our old boot DVD useless?  Thankfully there wasn't any emergencies I had to handle that I was able to work on this.  But this was quite and odd event even for Apple.
    Anyone else have these issues?

  • HT1338 Browser+ Finder issues since Mountain Lion Upgrade

    Hi all,
    I've been having issues with my web browsers (Chrome and Safari) and (occasionally) wifi ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. They constantly freeze and I have to force quit and reboot in order to fix the problem. Any ideas on troubleshooting this? It's getting a little annoying!
    Thanks!

    I also upgraded from Snow to Mountian.  I can bring up google search results but can't load any web pages.  My Mac Pro was working great with Snow never had any issues with internet.  Saw a post with a solution of disabling auto proxy but that doesnt work.  The only way I can load a web page is if I restart my Mac open up Safari then I can usually bring up one web page and then I can not load any more.  I cant connect to the App store either.  I dont know how I will be able to download a patch from Apple now.

  • Voicemail issue since changing network (UK)

    Hi,
    I've recently changed networks from o2 to Three. I had my iPhone unlocked from o2 and started using my SIM 600 card that i purchased in a Three store.
    Initially i had no issue until i was left a voicemail. I soon realised that Three don't offer the visual voicemail facility, however this isn't the issue. On checking my voicemail and deleting it; i've now found that i constantly have the red dot icon (blank) over the voicemail tab on my "phone" app.
    I've checked my voicemails and have the reply fromt he voicemail stating "you have no new messages." There is no facility to check to see if there are saved messages so i can delete them, so i presume i have none. I receive the standard text message stating i have voicemail when i reboot the phone, even though i have no voicemail on checking! I've also found that when i check, my iPhone keeps checking for email and also for App updates when i have Email set to Manual (not pushed or fetched) and i certainly ain't hit the App Store!
    I've spoken to Three who said that there isn't an issue with the voicemail settings as its working however the technical customer advisor asked me to wait whilst he checked to see if there was anything else he could do to help me. On coming back he said that the tech department are investigating a potential issue to identify whether its a fault on the iPhone side or if its a fault on the Three side. My iPhone was working perfectly well with o2 and on removing the Three sim, and replacing it with another sim it worked perfectly well so i assume its Three's issue which is what i told him.
    I've tried a soft reset, i've tried a full restore - setting it up as a new phone or with a backup, still remains. I've tried calling and leaving a voicemail to see if i can flush the system, but nothing. My colleague at work is on Three with the same iPhone, same iOS update etc etc and she doesn't have the issue so I'm bemused.
    I read somewhere it could have something to do with the micro sim being an old and outdated sim - could this be the case?
    I'm looking for people's help as i'm heading to the Three store on Saturday to request a new micro sim so wanting some bullets to fire when i get there...
    If anyone can help, i'd be sincerely grateful!
    Cheers
    Paul

    Just as an update before i close the topic off...
    Went into the Three store today and explained the situation to the same guy who sorted the contract out for me. He said he'd never come across it before and couldn't understand why it was happening.
    I chanced my arm a little and although it was more or less the whole truth i'd bent the truth a little about the customer services number who didn't have a clue anyway and said that i'd done a bit digging on the internet and mentioned about the micro sim being outdated or something similar. He then offered to try it to sort the issue out, gave me a new micro sim and transferred my details over...got home and swapped the micro sims over.
    Voila, icon vanished and no issues thus far...on looking a little closer on the packaging that the micro sim comes with, the initial one i had was from Aug 2011, the newer one was from October 2011 so it may be possible that the post i'd found from googling the issue was correct.
    If the issue arises again i'll add to the topic, however so far so good - so i hope that others who may have this issue see this and try the above!
    Cheers

  • ITunes Store Issues Since 10.4 Upgrade/White Screen

    Ever since I downloaded 10.4, I have had problems with the iTunes store, getting the white screen.  I initially uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, etc., and could then connect.  However when later trying to get into the store, I received the white screen again.  I then uninstalled/reinstalled again.  I was able to connect for a short time.  I am now getting the white screen again.  Any ideas on what is going on?
    Thanks for your help,
              Scott

    Here's another thread about this exact problem. There are several of us experiencing this glitch since at least 17 August.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3274333?tstart=0
    I followed the instructions about uninstalling Quick Time, hunted down all the older apps, with no luck at all. Still no App Store (iTunes Store proper, is fine).

  • Several Phone Call Issues Since Upgrading My iPhone 5 to iOS8

    I have an iPhone 5 and I have upgraded to iOS8. Since I have upgraded, I am having severe issues with telephone calls. I used to be able to make a call, hit the hold button and place the phone in my pocket while walking and talking. I can no longer do this (I almost always use my headphones for calls as I can hear better with them versus not having them in for calls). Now if my phone's hold button is hit or it falls asleep, the call disconnects and the MP3 player/ipod feature begins to play.
    I have also had issues with calls simply vanishing seconds after I make them. No error message or anything, just vanishing and the MP3 player/iPod turning on.
    I have checked the forums/web and have found nothing on this. Has anyone else had any similar issues/any tips on how to make this stop? It's very frustrating.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data by resetting. If this does not work, set it up as new device, to rule out a software issue. Looks like the proximity sensor is not working as expected, as the music starts playing instead of the screen switching off while placing the phone next to your ear.

  • After updating to the 4.0 beta 5 a few weeks ago, my PC reboots when down loading large amounts of email and or attempting to play a .wav video file. i did not have that issue prior to the upgrade.

    Having used the beta 4 version of Firefox, the screen pop up kept insisting to upgrade to the 4.0 beta 5 version. I finally went ahead and did the update, and have had the above issue since.

    Firefox 4.0 has not been in Beta testing for months now as it was released back in April and you appear to be posting with Firefox 5.0
    Are you using the Firefox 5.0 which was released June 21 and is at www.mozilla.com ?
    As for the sudden reboots well it could likely be a issue with hardware or dirver (for graphics card for example) or even a runlevel software as a application like Firefox itself does not cause Windows to reboot.

  • IMac issues since upgrade

    I used to run my iMac using 10.6.3 fine, never had any issues. Then one day my brother came over with a gift of 10.8. Well since Installing that right off the bat I had issues with mail, mainly with an e-mail account from my work. I just decided to not use mail any more since I did most of my e-mail with my iphone any way. After that we updated to 10.8.2, and that's where it seems like all **** broke loose. I constantly get the spinning beach ball all the time. and programs were freezing up. I could click different programs and move the cursor, but the beach ball wouldn't go away and I would have to force restart. I have run disk utility multiple times, both while logged in, and by holding down command r on boot up. I have also run fsck, and reset PRAM. After all of this I decided to wipe the computer and do it over again, unfortunally losing quite a bit since it would freeze every time I tried to use timecapsule to back up.
    So I have reinstalled 10.6.3, which went smooth. I updated again to 10.8 and that was fairly smooth. I did find music on my external drive that was corrupt, so I have deleted that thinking that might be causing some issues. Well 2 games I like to play are Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. Both of these games kept saying that for best performance, to upgrade to 10.8.2, and Starcraft 2 seemed to be locking up a lot on login and when loading a game. So I decided to attempt 10.8.2 again. Most everything had been going smooth although I noticed it didn't fix Starcraft 2 at all, so I might just try and reinstall that, but on top of that, the beachball seems to be coming back again and it takes forever to login to the computer and takes longer to boot up than it used to.
    Should I again, wipe the computer and try staying with 10.8? or does this sound like some kind of issue that may be resolved some other way? (without having to buy a new computer as my wife keeps saying we should, as she's conviced the computers dying).
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I only had one thing to disconnect, which was my external drive. I did notice that the computer boots up a bit faster, but it still has the same issues once up and running.
    I was thinking this morning tho and think I might have figured out my issue.
    Does anyone know if dust/powders getting inside the computer could cause this? I ask this because around the same time we started to have issues was when we used a powder substance in the house on the rugs to deal with fleas, and I know it does kick up a bit when moving around and we were treating the house for a while. Also if this is the cause, is there a safe way to clean out an iMac? Is it easy to open and clean?
    Either way I am looking at probably upgrading to a new iMac with tax money, but I would probably be cleaning this one up, wiping it and putting factory settings on it to give my parents to replace the eMac I gave them years ago when I got this iMac. Also on that note, any tips or advice on whether I should get a regular ATA drive or fusion? That's the only thing I'm not sure about yet.
    Hoping the dust is my issue and can resolve it this weekend if there's a way to open it up and clean it.

  • TS1398 I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc.

    I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
    In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
    Thanks

    Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

  • Performance issues since upgrade

    I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
    One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
    I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT2090 I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (2008) with Snowlepard. The I downloaded Maverick. Ever since I did Maverick, my iSite camera won't work for facetime or skype. What to do?

    I purchased my Macbook Pro in 2008. My son recently gave me and iPhone 5 and in order to use it I upgraded my OS to Snowleapord, then I down loaded Maverick. Since I did the Maverick thing my iSite camera does not work on Skype or Facetime. I done a few things like reset SMC and the one other thing to no avail. It works in photobooth and things like that, but it doesn't show up in the utilities list. One point it said something about not being recognized or supported? Is the an upgrade for the camera or do I need to get rid of Maverick? Or what?

       Install the latest software  update.

  • Various issues since Leopard upgrade

    I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
    1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
    In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
    Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
    2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
    3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
    So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
    I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
    4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
    I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
    Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
    4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
    [1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
    So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
    Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
    Cheers for any assistance, folks!

    Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
    1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
    2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
    3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
    4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
    4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
    One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

  • HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

    You received incorrect information from AT&T.  You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
    Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.).  This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number.  Ask them how to access your voicemail.  Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password.  You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number.  Let the AT&T person tell you.
