YouTube login & linking problems - one possible solution

Rather than add this comment to one of the several topics concerning YouTube login and account linking problems, I'm starting this topic to isolate this particular problem and the solution that worked for me.
* SKIP TO LAST LINE FOR MY SOLUTION ->
The problem I experienced surfaced when I first tried to upload a video to YouTube from my iPhone 4. YouTube would no longer accept my YouTube password. My YouTube account was linked to my gmail.com account. Having read some of the suggestions in other threads, I unlinked the two accounts, but that did not help matters.
I signed out of the YouTube app in order to sign back in, as suggested elsewhere, but then I could no longer sign in to the YouTube app.
So I tried shutting down my iPhone and starting it up again, as was also suggested elsewhere. That didn't help.
So, exasperated, I went to the YouTube site and tried to change my YouTube account password to itself - and therein lay the solution! YouTube told me the password has to be 5 to 20 characters long and my (old) password was only 4 (because I had created my YouTube account long ago before they had that requirement.)
Once I set a new password that was long enough to satisfy this requirement, I was able to login to the YouTube app just fine and everything is working.
* The solution -> MAKE SURE YOUR YouTube PASSWORD IS LONGER THAN 4 CHARACTERS

No, it didn't work. After buying my MacBook Pro I updated everything including QT. As a result QT 7.2 simply didn't play any of my divx avi files. Before adopting the rude way, I obviously tried to update/replace all of the components including: Perian, DivX, Flip4mac. No way. I then forced a downgrade to ver. 7.1.6 using Pacifist (a package manager) and as a result I put the hole system in danger. It was in a total state of malfunction. I had to restore the system with the cd. Fortunately it kept my home! But I now run ver 7.1.6 and I do NOT have any intention to update it. I use Pro so I don't have any necessity of full screen support or else. Maybe if Apple will release a stable version I will consider the update. But for now, "nowing it is not installing it".

When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

You're welcome. Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway. I always import them to my computer at least weekly. That way I know I have them.
You might want to check out the app PhotoSync. It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

Safari hanging up? Here's one possible solution.

This report contains one possible solution to Safari hanging up on certain web pages.
Over the past couple of days, my PowerMac G4 started hanging up when I attempted to load certain pages from CareerBuilder.com.
The bottom of those CareerBuilder.com pages always reported that only xx of yy items (say, 32 of 37 items) were completed, then the spinning ball would appear, indicating that Safari had hung up, requiring me to Force Quit it. Those same CareerBuilder.com pages did not cause Safari on my iMac G5 nor my MacBook Pro to hang up, so I concluded that something had gone awry with Safari on the PowerMac G4 only.
Since other postings related to this topic appear to require a Crash Log to analyze what is going on, I checked for a Crash Log both via Console and by searching for one in the Crash Report folder, but there was none to be found there.
I tried pasting the "Problem Details" report that resulted from my most recent Force Quit, but whenever I tried to Post the Message, I would get a message telling me that "We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon." Other users have reported getting the same message, perhaps because the clipboard contains way too much text. I suppose I could have chopped that long Problem Details report into pieces and passed its information along that way, but I'm not sure that the Problem Details report gives quite the same analytical information as a Crash Report. Besides, from what I could glean, the myriad of well-meaning solutions that were offered seldom, if ever, appeared to cure the problems users were reporting.
Instead, I took a cue from a guy who reported in another thread on Apple Discussions that he cured Safari from hanging by disabling Java and JavaScript in Safari's preferences. That seemed efficient and reasonable, so I implemented his solution.
It seemed to work at first, but a short time after disabling Java and JavaScript, the Mac froze up. I could not access any open applications, nor could I force quit anything. My only choice was to press the power on button for over five seconds to force the computer to shut down. Exhausted from trouble-shooting, we both took a long nap after that. (Recommended trouble-shooting step.)
Upon refresh and restart, I launched Safari. It was now able to access the page in CareerBuilder.com which was causing the hang. However, because JavaScript was now disabled, I could no longer see the rollover button function on my own portfolio website, nor could I see who had visited my website at StatCounter.com, a web analytic service I use to monitor web traffic.
I wanted those abilities back.
So, with tabs open to both the offending CareerBuilder.com page and to StatCounter.com, I re-enabled JavaScript. When I refreshed the StatCounter.com page, the previously unavailable data updated fine. When I refreshed the Career-Builder.com page, all 96 of 96 items updated fine: most importantly, the page did not cause Safari to stall, as it had consistently been doing before.
I switched back to the StatCounter.com page, I enabled Java, and I refreshed that page. No issues to complain about there. I moved back to the problematic CareerBuilder.com page, and I refreshed that page. Safari re-loaded all 96 items again—this time pausing momentarily to report "1 error"—without hanging up.
I cannot know for sure, but perhaps the Java programming "error" contained on that CareerBuilder.com page was the trigger for causing Safari to hang up. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with my Safari configuration after all. This explanation is plausible, because the only hangs Safari has experienced over the past couple of days have occurred on two different CareerBuilder.com pages.
Thirty minutes later, refreshing that same problematic CareerBuilder.com page resulted in only 80 of 81 items being completed, as a new bunch of advertising messages cluttered up the page. Perhaps that one item which failed to load is related to that "error," which continues to be reported. However, at least the page is no longer stalling Safari.
In any event, these were the steps that "cured" the problem of Safari hanging:
1) In Safari preferences, disable Java and Java Script.
2) Shut down the computer.
3) Take a long nap while the computer is powered OFF.
4) Restart the computer and relaunch Safari.
5) Optional: Enable Java Script, then Java, if certain sites require them to be enabled for full functionality.
6) Optional: Visit pages that had caused Safari to hang, and see if Safari functions fully on those pages.
I have no technical understanding of what may have caused Safari to hang in the first place, or if switching Java and Java Script off and then back on, is the true solution to the problem. Maybe letting the computer take a long, overdue nap did the trick! I had been placing it in Sleep mode for several days, so it's missed a good shut down and re-boot routine.
But I am pragmatic about success, so I am merely reporting what worked for me and what I did. Your mileage may vary.
I will monitor the situation and report any future Safari hangs should they occur, since that might be an indication that the problem was not related to Java or Java Script at all.

Fixing slow startup--one possible solution

I had a very frustrating week last week. Logging-in took forever, with several minutes of blue-screen before finally having a live computer. Once started-up there were no problems. This was purely a phenomenon of the startup process. Went through reams of console logs, removed tons of drivers (in the process I got rid of a lot of junk), but no fix. Built up a new hard drive with nothing on it but Snow Leopard. Same problem. I dug through the forums here, finding many similar problems with solutions all over the map, but none of them helped. Then finally...
The solution was simple. I have a number of external USB drives that I use for occasional archiving. They're usually powered-down, and it's rare that more than one is even plugged into the computer. But if that drive is the right drive (actually the WRONG drive), you'll have a problem just like mine.
USB always delivers a bit of power to a connected device--even if that device uses a wall-wart. If circumstances are just right, that little bit of power is enough to partially bring the device to life--enough for the computer to think something is there and enough for the device to misbehave. This was my problem. The solution was simple: for any device with its own power supply just leave the USB cable disconnected until you actually plan to use the device.
Like any debugging situation this is painfully obvious, if only in retrospect. Hope this little story saves somebody else some time.

There are many teething issues with the N96-1 currently. check to see that you have the latest software for your device by going here http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate and following the instructions.
The latest version is 11.101
Otherwise rumour has it a radically improved version is on it's way and hopefully this will solve your issue. although in my experience the phone will always work best when messages are on the C: Drive

Blurred text - one possible solution

I know a lot of people, myself included, have had trouble importing Keynote slide presentations into iDVD, the main problem being the text blurring.
I might have a bit of a solution.
In Keynote, select the title slide and open the 'Document' tab of the 'Inspector'. Switch the size to something like 800 x 600 [try other sizes and you may get something better]. Then go to the 'Export' function and select the 'Images' tab and export as 'Tiff' format.
Once in iDVD, import all of the Tiff images [one for each slide] to movie insert. When burning to DVD, select 'Professional Quality' in the 'Project Info' box.
I found this works much better. Hope it helps.
Cheers...>Scotty

Scotty,
Just remember that DVDs are lower resolution devices (640x480 square pixels NTSC) than computer monitors so make sure you aren't trying to 'cram' too much text information on each slide.

One Possible Solution

For those of you suffering from missing Spotlight, clock, applescript menu, etc... the culprit is quite possibly the "Front Row hack" that has been bouncing around the web lately. Replace the following files with backups of old ones:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BezelServices.framework/
/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/
And remove this:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
Finally, reboot. This has fixed problems on more than one machine I administer.

Dv5 / dv6 / dv7 webcam not detected - one (possible) solution

There are SO many posts on webcams - here is something for those of you who no longer have warranties and need help.
Background:
I just purchased a new dv7 - no webcam detected! I tried everything I could think of and ended up sending the system in for service last week. Tech hinted that the connection may be loose (not the end at the mother board, the other end, next to the camera). Sad, that. I am still pawing through the posts looking to see if I'd missed anything that I could have tried.
Found this post all the way back from February 2011 from NotBuggy - Read on: this solution might work for you:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Windows-7-64-bit-Webcam-Drivers-for-dv5t-1000/td-p/46...
NotBuggy's first post descibes the initial issue. At the bottom of that post is the "Solution" link. For those interested, there may be helpful hints from other members in the answers NotBuggy received.
As NotBuggy says, this is not for the "faint of heart" - you will need to take apart your system and risk damage. Proceed only if other avenues are closed.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

webcam not detected I have reinstalled the driver for the webcam but the issue persists with an error saying "No Webcam Detected". I have been to the device manager and the webcam is not listed there .I would like to know
how to get this fixed please. Thank you very much.

Mp3 to podcast - one possible solution

I noticed several threads had been archived that did not get a good answer to how to take a audio mp3 podcast (downloaded from a website for example) and get it to appear in the podcast section in itunes.
I tried this applescript (found in the macosxhints website) and it worked well for me.

I just got a 6gb zen and spent hours trobleshooting why it kept disconnecting. It was all due to that modified LibUSB. I use a ps3 controller on my laptop and desktop to play some games. Thank you so much for finding out the cause.

XFI "no supported hardware" problem possible solut

I purchased my xfi about 4 months ago & has worked flawlessly until 2 days ago. Kept giving me the dreaded "no supported hardware" error along with BSOD's, etc... . Tried all the possible solutions in the FAQ, updated bios, changed, diff pci slot, reinst xp,?on & on...no luck. Was about to go return the card when I stumbled on this link selling the card:?http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=42270II noticed this at the botom of the ad:Please note: On some systems it is advisable to connect the XFi Card to a Floppy Dri've Power Connector in order to give maximum performance, this is done using the 4 pins on the top edge of the card. As this is an OEM card it does not come with a cable for this but most power supplies are fitted with a spare floppy power connector.
So figuring i had nothing to lose i plugged it in & lo & behold it all works perfectly again. I found nowhere in manual or help about plugging this in but I thought sharing this might help someone. Maybe it will fry my card eventually but it seems to have solved my problem for now. I suspect that maybe my pci bus isnt providing enough voltage for the card now but everythig seems fine. Oh, here is my general specs:?Gigabyte Socket 939 AGP Motherboard, Athlon64 3500+ CPU, Nvidia 6800GT AGP, 550W Power Supply

I HIGHLY suggest He create a new AppleID for himself.
He can do it now then simply use the new AppleID when he gets the iPhone.
Best suggsetion its to have a computer login for him wtih is own iTunes and then he will have his own contacts, calendars and all other data.
He can do that now & set up iCloud then when he gets the phone, he can simply enter his AppleID and its done.

Possible solution to airplay audio problem

Fist of all, sorry for my english.
I had the next problem, videos from itunes or youtube works fine, but when I tried to stream only audio, from ipod aplication or spotify it doesn´t work. Some times make a little noise, other times the conexion returns to the iphone or ipad...ant many times the wifi of the phone or the ipad hangs, and have to reboot...
I´ve tried many things, with two diferent routers (both of them wireless n), different configurations, open ports, went to the genius bar, even broke a router (it hangs and there wasn´t any way to restore, even with a hard reset)...
Finally, today it starts to work. What I did is:
1. Change wifi channel to 9.
2. Disable WSC setup in my router configuration.
3. I think this is the most important: enable WMM (wifi multimedia) on the configuration of my router. It´s a comtrend model, maybe this is called in another way in other router configuration.
4. And reset my apple tv (menu+down 5 secs).
Probably it´s not necesary to make all these steps, looks like point 3 is the different from previous attempts...
So check your WMM router configuration and try.
Hope it helps.

Intresting notes... When you download album artwork from iTunes it really doesn't add it to the MP3 track, it stores it elsewhere and assoicates it internally some how to the album. Where as adding a artwork in through the actual file will change the size of your MP3 track, by embedding the artwork into it so that other apps (like windows media) can see them.
That would be an interesting find if that is indeed the case.... Furthermore if that solves the problem, than apple should have an easy fix on thier hands.
However, since most of my music is direct downloads from iTunes and has the artwork directly embedded into the music files like I mentioned above that might be why I've never encountered the issues.... As I found out about this quirk a while back, because some of the tracks on the PC or on my iPod would never show the album cover before...
Hopefully someone else with the same problem can help confirm this possible solution!

Possible solution to book uploading problem

I posted this as a reply to TM2 ... redundancy is sometimes very helpful ...
I ran into the same problem in last couple of weeks ... deadline for books and all.
I too gave up trying with Aperture and used BLUR's BookSmart, thinking that it may be a solution re overcoming problems with uploading (Aperture/Apple not providing useful solutions for me) .... but, ran into same problem - I was not able to upload finished book and got same msg re error and request to check my ISP connection, etc ... finally, I called Comcast re possibly a problem with their router or something like it ... I got very lucky and connected with someone who was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and accessible ... SOLUTION: bi-pass the Belkin 54g ... hook up CPU ethernet connection directly to cable router - BINGO! ... Belkin seems to be the potential cause for problem: It most likely needs firmware update - checked their web site and there is one available .... in time will upload it.
Hope this helps and it is same solution for Aperture trouble's re uploading issues, etc ... Merry Christmas.

This problem occurred in the last few weeks and is a real downer for me because I like apple products but if I can't use wifi then I can't do my work or use much data Any possible solutions will help. Thanks
