Went 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 & now MacOS won't connect to Servers using afp! HELP!
I did an upgrade installation of Mac OS 10.4.3 ontop of Mac OS 10.3.9 on a G4 AlBook. I then did the downloadable combo updater to take it 10.4.8.
However now when I try to connect to any servers using Go - > Connect to Server I get no response.
When I try to navigate to the Servers using the Finder and click connect I am told that the alias is broken.
I thought his might have had to do with an installation of Netware for Mac OSX so I used the Netware install file to step through and remove all Netware files & I stil can't connect to Servers.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I have yet to run any of the software updates on top of 10.4.8 perhaps one of these improves 10.4.8 afp compatibility?
Thanks in advance,
Neil.
James,
thanks very much for this. I'd hoped not to have to go to 10.4.9 but it sounds as though your solution may well work with 10.4.8 as well? I.e. it sounds as though a component of the old system left behind by the incremental upgrade has broken the servers.
I should have also mentioned that it is Netware boxes that I am trying to access. so it appears as though all manner of server is broken in this situation.
This is so inconvenient (esp with regard to software authorised to hardrives, how does that behave with an archival install?).
But once again many thanks for your help,
Neil.

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
Please! I need an answer fast!!!!Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
I myself, two days ago purchased a 2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.

Updated to 4.0 version and when it finished loading I got 4 identical Firefox icons on my desktop. I went back in time on my computer to go back to an order version and Firefox won't open or is very slow to open.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

So I went to install the latest Mac update but now it won't turn back on
I Pressed the restart now button to install the latest update, the computer restarted then went to the apple logo with a progres bar. It went along for a few moments then just shut down. I tried to restart again but it just went back to the progress bar and shut down again. Help?
Hi .
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the disk if necessary and restore OS X using OS X Recovery.
That should also install the latest OS X v10.9.5. -
Can someone please help me!
Only thing i suggest as i had similar issues is to restore the phone! using itunes and then continue as a new install and not as a back from..
Or forget the network and search again! -
This is irritating!!
VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPod. Once VoiceOver is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod—even to turn VoiceOver off again to resume standard operation.
It's easier to use iTunes to turn it off. Connect to iTunes and go to the Summary Pane. Click the "Configure Universal Access..." button. In the "Seeing" section, select "Neither" and click "OK". -
I spilled some water on my laptop, the screen went dark so I turned it off. Now it won't restart.
Have I ruined it completely or will it come back on after it dries out?Take it in for repair ASAP. The longer you wait the worse it can get.

I entered my debit card for a app latter when I went to update all it asked password as usual then said sign in required took me to page sayin my card has been declined use alternate I don't have alternate but now it won't let me download free apps niether
Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.

I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do
You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
Good luck.
