10.6.8 update malfunction

I downloaded and installed the 10.6.8 combo update and my computer started the restart process and now I have a circle with  a line thru it.  The universal no sign and the spinning circle.  It's been doing this for at least 15 minutes.  HELP

Ok will check, as of right now I have 82.57gb free, that's plenty of space will check the disk though using disk utility. Also I am now downloading the update from the apple website instead of going through software update

  • Since IOS 6 update, malfunction with auto rotate and sounds

    Hello. I'm wondering if others have experienced a problem since updating their IPads. Since the update, I've lost the dual functionality of auto-rotate and sounds. I can only have 1 of the functions operate as per norm.  If I want sounds (for keyboard clicks/games/etc.) my screen will not auto orient. Vice versa for auto orientation. Normal rotation is only possible with NO SOUND for the previously mentioned apps. I've performed reboots, and also endeavoured to make the obvious corrections in the General Settings fields. When I uncheck "MUTE"...it automatically places a checkmark in the lock rotation field!!!
    Can anyone offer a solution, to what i perceive, as a software issue?

    Maybe this will help.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • BB Desktop App Updater-malfunctioning

    Please Help me with this dear BB Community
    It took some niffty bit of working out to get this screen print to you because the page here couldn't hold the word docx.file I originally screen shot, this is a double screen shot for anyone wanting to know.
    First from the PC, then with the docx.file opened on the phone, bb screen shot app.
    In the screenshot below (follow the arrow) is a picture of two BlackBerry Desktop Icons in the Quick Launch Toolbar.
    I believe it is representing the updater, but when I go to open it up, nothing is happening and it doesn't open up into a dialogue box or anything.
    I do not know if it at work or not and have tried to find out.
    Is there a problem why it's shown itself here and am not able to start/stop or remind later why it is not opening for me.
    Please if someone could guide me with this, because if my bb desktop app needs updating, am quite happy to proceed but don't know where to start.
    Yours Sincerely
    JTValerie

    I need to add to this post an attachment with the dialogue report box that appeared.
    This dialogue box appears after opening my Windows Live Mail App and BlackBerry Desktop App shuts down while tethering.
    Rim.Desktop.exe. Application Error
    Application has generated an exception that could not be handled
    Process ID =0xefc (3836), Thread ID=0xf00 (3840)
    Click OK to terminate the application.
    Click CANCEL to debug the application

    Dear BB Support Community
    I have been back at my home and I use my BB Torch to make a tether connection as I find that I get continuous connection better than my dongle.
    I know that the area am in does not have great reception as others to which I keep my provider informed of this.
    I use Windows Live for all my important mail but have found that when I open this App either at opening or while working my connection breaks and windows has to assess a report to deliver back to Microsoft company.
    I did receive updates for the desktop and I believe it's connection to my phone but this has not made any difference as this is the first time I have written to you using this PC I have also noticed that I have been receiving a notice twice to say My Request could Not Be Completed.
    I know the PC am using is an old XP Dell Dimension 4400, with 37GB Hard Drive Space with 11GB left and RAM of 512MB and the full Kaspersky Internet Security, why would my BB Desktop App stop working and disconnect.
    Please if someone can help please reply

    Hi again
     You can also use our feedback form available at link http://tiny.cc/ja40z.
     It is faster to report error that way. We also get additional information about your system you are using and about the installed browsers from there. It helps us investigate the problem more quickly.
     Just try that out to submit your error report.

  • Software update malfunction on 10.9.1. Cant get to 10.9.2

    Hi,
    Software update in Mavericks is not able to update OS X. Im on 10.9.1 and trying to update my to 10.9.2, but after "installation" I'm still on 10.9.1. In AppStore, i click "install", and immideadly after it states "installed", and the button is greyed out. This until I restart AppStore and find once again a clickable "install" button for the update. The same is happening for the iTunes update. I have also tried to download the standalone OSX update from Apples website, which also just restarts my mac but with no update applied. No error message nor anything.
    Im on a mid 2009 Macbook Pro.
    Any suggestions?
    Peace.
    UPDATE: At some situations when I try to apply this update through AppStore, I get a permission error (513), saying that "I do not have permission to download the package". Which makes no sense since my user account is system administrator. I have tried using disk utility to repair permissions, but same problem persists.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • I updated my IPhone 3GS to the newest software version, now I can't get past the activation stage. AT

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new version 6.1.3 and installed the new software. After doing this, I can't get past the activation stage in the process. I had AT&T and the phone doctors look at it and they couldn't figure it out. Apple wants $175 for me to send it in but I shouldn't have to pay for an update malfunction. I am at the mercy of the good folks in Apple land to help me.

    Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
    Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • Adobe Updater: New version 6.0.2.  What?

    Adobe Updater informed me this morning that an update to Pr 6.0.2 is available; recommended for all users, etc.
    What?  I already had 6.0.2 installed.  Weeks ago. 
    Is this a new update with the wrong version number? 
    Is Adobe Updater malfunctioning?
    Has this happened to anybody else?
    Can anybody from Adobe offer any insight?
    I'm on Mac.

    It just dawned on me to check my laptop, which was also already at 6.0.2.  About Pr tells me the "old" version 6.0.2 is exactly the same: 6.0.2 (072 (MC: 264587). 
    I can't imagine that all of our Updater prefs just simultaneously became corrupted.  Something must be wrong with the updater server, or something changed that makes the server think our version of Pr is older than it is.  Or, there actually is a 6.0.3 update available that's not getting installed.  Or....
    This is probably something Adobe needs to fix on their end.
    And stop teasing us.

  • I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file

    Every now and then, when I try opening an Excel file, I get a message saying that "Excel cannot open the file 'file.xlsx' because the file format or the file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension
    matches the format of the file.

    I see this most often when a file has been transferred around a lot and gets corrupted due to bad sectors on hard drives, 
    bad thumb drives, etc...
    Occasionally, I find a repair utility that will....kind of....fix it. You tend to lose all formatting and usually the user 
    would have to spend more time doing than life than simply starting from scratch. If on a file server, shadow copies
    (previous versions) are a god send.
    If it happens completely randomly, does it happen more often to the same group of people? Perhaps an update malfunctioned? 
    Reinstall Office? Try XLSX Open File Tool for recovery your documents (http://www.xlsx.openfiletool.com/)
    There could be so many reasons this could happen, but all the above is where I'd start.

  • Picture of a globe flashes while starting up. ***?

    During initial power up a picture recently starting appearing of a globe before I was able to login. After I logged in I discovered all of my files had been moved into the Mac HD User folder and the computer was basically reset to factory settings. Not being a computer guru I ran Norton anti-virus which gave no results of a virus. My only thought is that it might have been an update malfunction or a corrupted file. Anybody have any ideas?

    It's not a virus, and NAV usually does more harm than good, if it does anything.
    Go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your internal HDD. The globe icon means the Mac is looking for a startup volume on the network.
    FYI, the proper location for your files is in /Users/yourusername. But your statement about a return to default makes me think there's more going on.
    Did you, by any chance, rename your home folder (the house icon in the sidebar)? If so, read this:

  • IPhone 4 total malfunction after iOS 5.1.1 update

    I updated my iPhone 4  to iOS 5.1.1 on Friday, it worked normally for about 24 hours, and now all of a sudden it is completely unusable. If I press the home button absolutely nothing happens. But if I plug it into the charger and then press the home button, the white apple appears, and it boots to the grey screen that you get with a brand new phone. When I then swipe the slider I am asked for a passcode, so I enter the one I used when the phone was working normally. I then get the screen that says to connect to iTunes. Problem is that I'm traveling and so for the moment cannot connect to my iMac at home. (I have a PowerPC G4 laptop with me that can't go beyond OS 10.4 and iTunes 9.1.1.) Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there anything I can do now or do I have to wait until I return home? Or is the phone totally toast or what? I've read some stuff about SIM cards being corrupted with this update. Would a new one restore the whole phone?

    Exact same thing happened to my Iphone 4 on August 4th (366th day of 1 Year Warranty).  When connecting to ITunes, Restore fails and a message pops up in Itunes stating that "There is a problem with your IPhone" and directs you to Customer Support.  I took the phone to  Apple Store, the Geeks there experienced the same problem and were unable to resolve.  They suggested that the phone needed to be replaced at cost of $159.99 eventhough it started to malfunction 1 day after warranty expired.  Endless amount of pleading/arguing failed to sway them into giving me a free replacement.  Phne still not working.  Would changing the SIM help?

  • Ever since I installed the Safari 5.1.7 update my trackpad malfunctions.

    Ever since I installed the Safari 5.1.7 update, my trackpad does not functing well. I know its not a faulty trackpad because it also malfunctions when I install a different mouse. The malfunction happens when I launch the Safari application. How do I fix this? Is there a way to undo a software update?

    Try rebooting into Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. I'm thinking one or more may have become corrupt. Have you done any basic troubleshooting such as removing he MTP's batteries and restarting it or restarting the computer or anything else?
    Also PLEASE  use the Profile Update , otherwise we cannot tell anything about your system which makes it extremely difficult to troubleshoot.

  • Since ATV Update, slideshow malfunctions

    Updated ATV, now using slideshow with photo library (iTunes) leads to a malfunction. It takes forever to load my photo library. Then during the slideshow, only shows first 20-30 photos, then begins the slideshow again. This library has some 12,000 photos, but I'm only showing an album of 1800 photos. This is a new problem. Any ideas?

    After further research, reset and restarted ATV and restarted iTunes. Now all is well. Sometimes just pulling the plug will work magic!
