Word of the day screen saver not working after upgrade?

anyone else having the word of the day/dictionary screen saver not pop up anymore after the upgrade?

Yes, precisely. The crash of "word of the day" cannot be related to the Lion upgrade. Some other issue must be at fault. And to clarify and be specific "Apple" did not say it was not supported but rather one person working in customer support said "word of the day" was not supported - and since some of us Lion users having the screen saver work and only just now failing, that one person at Apple seems to have made an error in guessing what the problem is. Why keep discussing this? Because "word of the day" is a useful screen saver in an educational setting and it is worth the effort to fix it and restore it as a screen saver option. Hoping there is a fix soon.

How to change the language in the word of the day screen saver?

Does anyone know how to actually get additional languages working with the Word of the Day screen saver in Mountain Lion?
I've got the other languages installed in the OS X dictionary app, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get this working for Word of the Day...

I don't think it's possible. Ask Apple to add this feature via

Word of the Day Screen Saver--Press "D" Key

I have been using the "word of the day" screen saver that comes stock with Yosemite (10.10.2). When active, it will scroll words across stopping randomly on words and then provide the definition. Ok, so far. But it will also display a message with the definition to the effect of, "Press D key to see more". What is the intended result of this? When I press "D" it simply wakes up and returns to the Desktop.

Word of the Day has a button to select the dictionary to be used - the New Oxford American Dictionary and a Japanese dictionary were available options as well as "Automatic".

Photo streaming screen saver not working after ATV update

I was using a shared photo streaming album as a screen saver prior to the update. Now, with all options on, it only shows one generic "photo stream" option with zero photos in the file. I have a total of five photo stream ablbus that used to appear as choices.
Any ideas?

Thanks to Apple Care, problem solved. I'm one of those people that have two user names and passwords with Apple. When Mobile Me closed, my ICloud username became the old Mobile Me username. I also have my ITunes username and password.
So, to load content from ITunes, I have to be logged in as that user, but to access my Photo Stream, I have to be logged in as my ICloud user.

Really tired of screen sharing not working after upgrade to 10.10

I have tried everything I can think of but I simply cannot get screen sharing to work any longer when I am not within my home network.
I NEED this to work. Anyone else having huge problems getting screen sharing working when away from their home network?
Anything at all I can try at this point? Sometimes the share screen button doesnt even show, sometime it does and then says it cant
come up, sometimes my mac at home doesnt even show up in the Shared sidebar area.

I've had lots of issues with my Macs picking up new names eg. 'iMac (2)' instead of 'iMac' which led to sharing issues (screen sharing, AFP etc). I've set up new DHCP IP reservations on my router (Time Capsule) in the hope it will stop happening.

Screen Capture not working after upgrade to Yosemite

I have Yosemite OS X 10.10.1 and since my upgrade from Mavericks I have not been able to perform any sort of screen capture. I have tried Command+Shift+4 and Command+Shift+3 and neither of those work. There is no camera shutter noise made and no files saved to desktop or elsewhere when I try these commands. I could use the commands just fine on Mavericks to capture the screen. Anyone have any help on this?

Do you have Dropbox installed? If so, go to the menu bar, select it, hit the gear at the bottom right, and then Preferences/Import/Screenshots - make sure the box isn't checked.
You can also make sure they are set to go to your Desktop.

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.

Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Not much you can do. Bring it to Apple for evaluation.

Depends on the damage. The battery came loose in my iPhone. When Apple opened the phone to redo the glue they discovered the speakers were also loose. Apple replaced the phone.
If the glue was properly bonded or had some other flaw Apple will replace the device if the device is still under warranty.

Hard Reset
Press and hold BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
if no result try to back up and restore via itunes on a computer.

recovery mode
open itunes on computer
plug cable into computer not iOS device

Internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

IPhone 4's WIFI has been not working after upgraded to 6.1.3(10B329)

     My IPhone 4 was working fine with its WIFI when it is running in default IOS version, I believe it was 5.x.x version, however after I upgraded to 6.1.3(10B329) then WIFI got very aweired issues again and again.starting from then I never get my WIFI working again:
1. Sometimes I can connect to my home's network and keep alive for 1-2 minutes then WIFI will not work on IPone, my home's router is not working either, I need to restart my home's router manually;
2. I can connect to my office's network and keep alive 5-10 minutes then WIFI is not working, however my office router is not affected; however the following days then I can't connect WIFI to office's network any more.
3. I tried to connect to other public area's free network via WIFI, however never joined in.
     I called Apple's service centre couple of times they have no clues, they said they never met this problem before for WIFI not working after upgraded to IOS 6.1.3 and no suggestions from them at all, every time I called them they gave me the same suggestion, such as restore-re-install, check your own router etc, nothing help, however my friend bought a brand new IPhone 4 with default IOS version 6.1.3 which is working perfectly without any issues on its WIFI then I believe this is a completely software issue.
     I know this is a general issue for Apple users and I refuse to upgrade to higher version as I am not sure the higher version can fix this issue however I am pretty sure the newer version of IOS did bring a lot of new bugs, anyone can provide me any suggestions guys ? THANKS A LOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrence

I have fixed this issue after upgraded my router's firmware finally, this is a completely compatibility issue between Apple and other third party manufactures, hopefully we can get compabitlity list for each future IOS version ahead of time which can potentially avoid such kind of embarrassing situations moving forward, thanks !

Wi-Fi not working after upgrading to 3.0

Has anyone experienced their Wi-Fi not working after upgrading to 3.0? It has happened to me on my home network. I know the internet connection is good because I can successfully connect via my Mac. When I turn off the Wi-Fi and use AT&T, I can connect to the internet. I go back to Wi-Fi and no connection.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi There,
Yep I can confirm that I am having problems with wifi as well.
My problem is that it is not re-joining known networks.
Also the auto login feature designed for hotspots does not seem to work well either. The Log In Screen slides up then an error keeps repeating on the page...."Error Opening Page - The page could not be opened because an error occurred"
