Did the 1.3 update fix anything for anyone?

Hi all,
Until this evening I had a 'freezer' 24" iMac (i.e an iMac that froze constantly with video problems) and as it was new have just returned it to my local Apple store and replaced it.
I've re-installed Leopard (clean install) and my apps but now Software Update is bleating at me about "iMac Software Update 1.3". Given threads on these pages and others I am extremely hesitant about installing it.
Has 1.3 actually fixed anything for anybody or am I better of staying clear until further updates come along?
All opinions appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

I've left the update uninstalled for the same reason. I haven't updated anything since I installed Leopard since I just don't trust these updates. While my computer is not 100% stable I can live with it as it is and I don't want things to get as annoying as some other poor folks are experiencing.
I'd say unless Apple release a "iMac freezing solution update" that is proved to be effective you and I will both be ignoring Software update.

Has the 7.6.1 update fixed ANYTHING for anyone?

Has anyone who was previously trying to figure out the problems with the iTunes 7.6 update had any success with the 7.6.1 update? There has been a lot of fury and frustration over this version of iTunes and one has little recourse if they didn't backup their library right before the update (since iTunes 7.6 update renders the library unusable if you try to revert to 7.5...thanks Apple!) I'm just wondering if anyone who has began posting mid-January after the initial update has found any solutions.
I'm hesitant to update to 7.6.1 based on what I've read so far. And I find it unbelievable that Apple has essentially provided an update that has disabled so many people's primary music playback device and jeopardized their reputation in such a drastic way. iTunes is the backbone of Apple's growth market! Word of this has spread fast. A majority of people use their computer for 3 things: Internet, email, and music. Well, so much for the music part if you were foolish enough to upgrade to iTunes 7.6.
I used to brag about not being a guinea pig beta tester like the PC world was whenever Microsoft updated. Unfortunately, I can no longer make that claim.
FWIW, my work around has been quite simple. Launch iTunes and walk away for 10-20 minutes. That's how long the beachball lasts. Then I'm fine. iTunes actually works better for me on my Power PC G5 in that I don't get an 8-20 second beachball every time I go to GET INFO to alter tags.
I'd love to hear how anyone else is dealing with it.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Has the lastest security update caused problems for anyone else?

Since the latest security update things have been a little weird with my MBP. Within 5 hours of udating the computer there were two kernal panics. At least I think the second one was a kernal panic. I had closed the lid and it wouldnt sleep or turn back on and it had no response to the power button or any keys so I eventually pulled the battery. Then on restart it acted as if recovering from a panic.
Since then I have had other problems such as long waking time from sleep, dim screen after restarts, and itunes opening for no reason at all. After the latest restart things seem more 'normal.'
Has anyone else had this problem? If it continues, what should I do?

And here was I thinking it was my own imagination! After installing that annoying update, my MBP has not been the same.
I also had two kernal panics exactly as you have described.
My MBP seems to me to be extremely sluggish compared to what it was, and I am seriously condsidering reinstalling OS x and not installing that update.
At one point I decided to run disk check and it said I needed to repair my hard drive, something about the actual size and recorded size being different, so I repaired that last night so I will have to see how that goes.
I am very careful with my comp so i know that it is nothing I did that could cause thes problems.
And of course to add another problem to the list, My battery life is nothing like it used to be. I am a college student and up until i installed that update i could easily go 4 hours in lecs using the laptop to take notes, but now after about half an hour the battery indicator says i have an hour left. It is very annoying!

When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it?

When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

I recently did the 5.3 update to my Apple TV and now it is running sluggish and things keep freezing and then pictures are loading on top of each other. Then I did a hard reset today and now the WWDC app is gone. Anyone else having these issues?

I have been having problems with my atv 3 not transmitting/receiving 5.1 surround. Whether I stream from my computer or watch movies, I am getting no 5.1 audio. The atv won't even show the option for surround. I tried to restore and reset the device but it didn't help.
I haven't had any problems with missing apps or freezing or anything similar to what you are experiencing. This update has many bugs. Other threads have reported even more problems. Hopefully I can go back to the previous update.

HT1386 It says to click the device button in the upper right corner....there isn't one. Itunes doesn't even recognize my devices since I did the most current update. I have two iPhones, thru different carriers, and neither one works now!

I did the latest iTunes update...I have 2 iPhones--each thru a different provider. Now, I can't sync to download any music from iTunes. iTunes doesn't recognize either device now. I went thru diagnostics, didn't work. I tried the suggestions from Apple...it says to click the device button in upper right corner....there isn't one. When I connected each for the first time after update, it "installed device drivers". I have checked for further updates on iTunes--nothing. I made sure there were no updates listed for iPhones...all up to date. I get an error code and from what I have looked through in forums etc, it seems like a lot of people are getting it...0ex000084 I believe it was. Windows opens to download photos but that's it. Devices are not listed at all. I have tried all 3 USB ports in computer too. I have never had any problems before this update!! HELP! I just bought $15 worth of music I can't download to phones now!

On the left hand side of iTunes do you have the sidebar up left hand side?
If this is not up then try this, with iTunes open press "Control" and "s" together and it should bring it up. From the sidebar it should show an option devices with the iPhones underneath it.

HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

My husband and I did the most recent update. Now when we send messages to each other we also receive a duplicate of the message to ourself, what did we do wrong?

Check to see if you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. If you are, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. (You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.)

HT4623 Today i did the latest IOS update now my phone wont turn on

Today i did the latest IOS update on my Iphone, and now i cant turn it on and itunes no longer recognises my phone. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. But not still no luck, has any one else had any problems???

Yeah, i uninstalled itunes then reinstalled it again, just to make sure that i had the latest.
No something odd has happened over night, the battery went flat last night, so i put it on the charger for 12 hours. Then when i took it off this morning for 30 minutes the battery went flat again..

My iphone/itunes just did the complete new update with Icloud but the icloud icon doesn't show up anywhere on the iphone or my computer even though the install said it is all done and complete.

The Itunes and Iphone just did the complete new update addiing on Icloud and new applications. After all was done and it said all was completed - the Icloud icon is not on my iphone screen anywhere nor is it on my computer after I did go to the control panel and set up. I tried repairing the download and it said all was fine. What needs to be done to get this all to work.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app. Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
Would you think that's the case too?
Thanks
Adam

HT201401 my microphone does not seem to be working since i did the last software update. any idea's

I can record voice notes no problem, but when i make calls the recepient cannot hear me.
I did a full restore and had one succesful call and that was it.
tried calling with and without the cover no luck.
phone is only two weeks old,problem only started once i did the latest software update. vs5.1.1
any idea's?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, there's really not much left to recommend. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
Best of luck.

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone?

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone? While I was doing the update it told me to plug my phone into iTunes. I did so and then it said my phone needed to be "restored" but it said I was going to get my pictures, messages, music and contacts back later on. Now being one day later I did not get any of that back.

If you don't have a backup then you can't get the data back.
It's not typical for an update to require a restore, but for a handful of people the update gets interrupted, and this happens.

Help! I just did the new OS update and all my photos & albums from iphoto are GONE!

I just did the new OS updated last night. When I opened Photos this morning, there was nothing. NOTHING! Not, photos in weird order or unlabeled. There were no photos period. Where did they go? What can I do? This is my work! I cannot have a decades worth of photos completely lost. Can I do something with timemachine to get them back. HELP!!!

This looks like Photos opened a new, empty library, because it could not access your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library.
Where are you storing your iPhoto Library? In the default location in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?
For Photos to be able to open your iPhoto Library, the library needs to be on a drive formatted MacOS Extended, and directly connected. It will not be able to open the library on a NAS or any network volume.
