My Mini-DVI to HDMI to TV connection stopped working - tried everything

I have been using a generic mini-dvi to hdmi dongle plus a HDMI cable to connect my white intel imac to my television. It has worked great and flawlessly until very recently. Now the TV says "no signal". Screen still flashes blue when dongle is plugged in/out. Flashes blue when TV turned on/off. Nothing was changed in my setup. I have tested the mini-dvi port with the Apple Mini-DVI to S-video/video dongle (worked), tried a new minidvi-hdmi dongle (fail), tested the HDMI cable (good), and tested other ports on the TV, as well as resetting the TV to defaults. Still not working.
At this point, I was assuming it was a software problem, even though starting from a restore disk or in safe mode did not solve this. Could this be a software issue? Is my video card only doing analog signals? My TV is less than 6 months old, so I doubt its that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I usually can solve these things myself, but this time it's vexing me. Thanks.

Folder Actions will not work - tried everything

Recently Folder Actions simply stopped working on 10.6.4. They worked fine before then recently just stopped working.
I've tried everything I can think of, including:
1. completely removing enabling & disabling & enabling folder actions through the setup app.
2. trashing folder actions plist files in user domain and relaunching
3. disabling related launchd processes with lingon
4. trashing launch agents in user domain and also trying to unload them in terminal
5. trying to kill the folder actions dispatcher process in activity monitor (just relaunches, as it should)
6. emptying system caches including dyld shared cache using cocktail
7. doing most of the above and restarting
It's driving me nuts. Any other ideas?
here's some entries from syslog:

I finally go Folders Action to work, after being unable to use it even for a simple beep for years now.
Here is what I did:
1. Changed permissions to 755 for the following folder and two contained files (note that 775 didn't work for me)
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
2. Changed the following lines within ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist (using TextWrangler)
from:
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
to:
<key>OnDemand</key>
<true/>
Prior to the permissions changes within #1 above, the value of <true/> kept getting changed back to <false/> by something in the system... and though
there was improvement by the permissions changes, the following console message appeared until false was changed to true.
com.apple.FolderActions.enabled[4127] launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.FolderActions.folders
At this point true is staying true, and not being changed by unknown forces to false, and the above message is not appearing.
3. The only other thing I did prior to #1 and #2 above, was to run the script (unsaved),
tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Folder Actions Dispatcher.app" to tick
This little tell line caused something to occur where my Folder Action surprised me and worked for the first time though it took about 30 seconds and was erratic,
sometimes performing, sometimes not, though if I would do move something into the folder to trigger the action that should occur, and did not occur, then at the point
running the above tell line or script would cause the action to occur.
4. At this point I don't fool with the tell line or script from #3, and it seems that systemevents has gotten involved, as well as launchd, and with my simple Folder Action script
I'm getting the folder action within 10 seconds compared to 30 to 45 if ever seconds.
5. This is still too early to tell if this is the wonder pill I've needed since Leopard, and now Snow Leopard (and maybe Tiger as well: I forget when I even tried Folder Actions).
There was a time when I moved things around, so that the items normally found in the former AppleScript folder, were placed elsewhere in subfolders, so I don't know if that lead to this...
because I could get Folder Actions to work on Macs in the Applestore, but not my own Mac. Watching the console messages was helpful. I don't think it's a big concern that
deprecated messages are found sometimes. That's a just a normal part of the constantly rebuilding of things that goes on. It's more like a reminder that we've got an upgraded
OEM part were going to start using, and the older part won't be available after such and such date, so program accordingly, and in the meantime drive.

IPhone 5 mobile internet not working - tried everything

Mobile internet on my iPhone is not working properly, regardless of the protocol (edge or 3G). It's the strangest problem possible and so far I've tried everything to fix the problem, but nothing helps.
Here's the deal:
- when I switch from wi-fi to 3G/E, everythings seems normal (there's the sign 3G or edge on the screen), but there is no internet connection
- I have to go to settings, switch off 3G and switch it back on and the internet starts working. It solves the problem also if there's only edge signal, which makes it even more strange.
- when I switch back to wi-fi and then again back to mobile network, the same problem occurs and the same solutions applies
- the same happens when I drive in my car and the phone switches between two carrier's antennas or if I switch on the airplane mode/reset the phone
I've used the iPhone since it came out and had every version, so I consider myself an advanced user. In order to try to solve the problem I tried everything possible:
- checked cellular data information
- reset network settings
- restored the phone
- updated the iOS
- manually deleted cellular data and entered it again
- went to my carrier to get a new sim card
- had the carrier analyze the problem on a case study (I sent over location data and time), but they found no mistakes on the network
- went to Apple and got my iPhone replaced TWICE
So I eliminated the following:
- settings error
- carrier error
- hardware error
The only thing I have left now is the exorcist.

Same issue

Sound not working -- Tried everything

Just installed Arch Linux for x86_64 and have XFCE 4.8.0 up.
My problem is that audio doesn't work from the speakers.
When I plug in my headphones to the jack, I can hear the audio fine. But the speakers on my monitor won't work.
Note: every thing worked fine with Ubuntu 11.04 with the same hardware.
Here's relevant info:
lspci
aplay -l
lsmod|grep '^snd' | column -t
ls -l /dev/snd
sudo cat /proc/asound/modules
I hope I've provided enough information. I did follow the wiki on Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, yet to no avail I come to you.
Please help me out.

maybe the output is muted. Check your volume mixer for any muted channels.
OR
run alsamixer from a terminal and (to remove all doubt) unmute every channel. A channel is not muted if the 00 at the bottom of the volume bar has a green background. This can be toggled by pushing 'm'. Also make sure to use the arrow keys to go as far left and right as you can. Some bars can hide out off screen.
If that doesn't work, try the function key 'f6' within alsamixer to select any other sound cards alsa has registered. The volume you need to mess with might not be default. e.g. if somehow the default card is something like a built in webcam mic.
Esc quits alsamixer
alsamixer is included in the package alsa-utils.
I don't know if xfce4-mixer exposes all the options alsamixer does (or if it provides even more)
Edit: potentially useful check
amixer|egrep '^[^ ]|\[(off|on)\]'
or
grep -P "\t(name|value)" /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

X61 trackpoint doesn't work

Hi,
   I bought an X61 (type: 7673-BE9) last month. Now I have met a trackpoint issue. It will not work at any time: no response to left and right buttons, no response to the red stick. If I reboot the system, it maybe works or doesn't. In the later case, I noticed that there was a yellow exclamation mark before trackpoint in the hardware management.
   I have tried to reinstall the trackpoint driver(4.62), but it was helpless. Here's my system information:
    OS:    Windows XP sp2
    BIOS: 2.07
    Trackpoint Driver Version: 4.62
   Would anyone please help me? Thanks a lot.
                                Best Regards
                                  Thiross

Hi, Im experiencing exactly the same Problems on my X61. I was using Windows Vista for three month and had no problems at all. The strange mouse behaviour just started after installing Windows XP. The funny thing is that the mouse stops working some seconds after the GUI boot. So i tried to kill all of the trackpoint tasks running, but I didnt find any task being responsible for this behaviour. My next try will be to stop some drivers and see if I can find the problem here.
Did you find any other solution?
Best regards,
dkirsten

Built in iSight Not working- tried everything here so far?

I'm having the "Camera in use by another app" error with my built in iSight on a dual core Macbook Pro. My cam worked in 10.5, but I started getting the error with the 10.5.1 upgrade. Photobooth and Quicktime both can access the camera fine.
Per Apple Tech Support's recommendations, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iChat, zapped PRAM and SMC, trashed various prefs and generally done everything but revert back to 10.5. Tried the ecamm software. Now both Apple Tech Support and I are stumped...

If you have tried all of those and it does not appear in the Apple System Profiler then it is time for....
Shut any Airport Card.
Shut Computer down.
If Ethenet disconnect on end from computer of modem.
Restart Comouter with no internet connection
Restart iChat
Reconnect internet
Log into AIM
Do you have a camera now ?

Audio Not working, tried everything...

My sound hasn't been working for a couple days now, I've tried the HP vidoes and Forums and done everything (restores, re-installed the audio, etc.) and nothing has fixed the problem. When i scroll over the audio symbol it has an X on it and says "The Audio Service is not running". I right click, choose 'Playback' and it shows the Speakers and 'Stereo Mix, Realtek High Definition Audio' are disabled, I click 'Enable' but it does nothing. I've gone into Computer Management and right clicked 'Windows Audio' and hit Start but a box pops up saying 'Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer. Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.' Please help, I have online homework to do but I cannot hear the video!

Start with looking at THIS. If that does not do the trick, then follow the steps in THIS thread.
If all that fails, look at this YouTube VIDEO.

HT201343 Cannot get Air Play to work--tried everything :(

I have three, relatively new mac products--iphone 5s, iPad, and late 2012 macbook pro. I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on the phone or iPad. I have tried two different wi-fi networks, removed firewall on MB and router at home. Even when I am certain they are all on the same network, the Air Play icon will not show on my phone or ipad. I am trying to send my screen to my MB so I can record myself using apps. I have been trying for three days to get this to work. I have the Reflector App installed.
I am a teacher and need to record myself using apps for curricium I am writing.
So to recap:
Reflector App installed
same network
firewalls off
new gear with Airplay capability
tried another wifi network
all systems up to date
Tried to work with Reflector support, but that hasn't helped
I don't know what to do now. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same issue! This has been super iritating; I have:
Products:
iPhone 5S on iOS 7.1 (11D167)
Macbook Pro early 2013 running OS X 10.9.2
AT&T Router / No firewall active
Reflector App 1.6.3.5 (1635)
Both devices:
Same wireless network "ATT232"
Bluetooth Off (tried on)
I tried rebooting everyhing: my router, my computer, and my phone. I "Reset network settings" on my phone. My Apple TV displays as a possible Airplay connection, but my Reflector app doesn't -- I'm lead to believe that the latest build of reflector app might be broken. No response from the developer :-(
I followed these instructions: http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/get-started/

IMessage and FaceTime wont work - Tried everything

I know this is asked a lot, but I think I have a different case because I used iCould to reset at first. Earlier today, I changed my passcode so my sister couldnt get on and I forgot it 20 minutes later. I unlocked it by removing everything and restoring it before and it worked, so I went to do that. I got a message saying I could reset until "Find My iPhone" was turned off, but I couldn't do that because I didnt know the passcode. I decieded to go to iCloud and erase my phone to turn 'Find my iPhone" off, which worked. When I restored from my iPhone back up, I went to FaceTime (I FaceTime a ton) and I realized it wasn't working. I went to settings and I saw it was turned off, so I turned it back on. Well, like most people it was sitting at "Waiting for activation" and after that, "An error occured during activation. Try again." I looked it up online and found a lot of solutions, to which none worked. I tried Hard rebooting, reseting network settings, Removing everything (This time off of iTunes), Removing everything and setting up as a new device, flicking it on and off multiple times (obviously), and I think thats it. Is their any other known way to fix it? Everything was working for me up until I changed my passcode and reset using iCloud which was today. I'm running the lastest version of software (iOS 7.0.4), and I don't really care if iMessage is working as I have unlimited texting so I don't need it, but I need FaceTime fixed more than anything. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

I have tried restoring and setting up as a new iPhone and then turning FaceTime on if that's that you meant. That didn't work for me. Disabling Cellular didn't work either, but thanks for the suggestion.

X201 Trackpoint doesn't work. Tried everything.
