Is anyone else having major problems after updating to 10.4.8???

It seems like most of the directly-related-to-OS X programs on my Power Mac are going screwy since updating. DVD Player freaks out after pausing, iChat won't let me video chat, my CPU fans occasionally go into turbo mode... heck, the performance of my Power Mac is generally poorer than before this update. Anyone else having issues right now?
A Mac expert buddy of mine did observe that if Apple releases a not-so-great update to the OS, usually the next one kicks butt. But my patience is wearing thin...

Hello Paul.
No problems/issues here.
Did you check the hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install package before installing the 10.4.8 Update?
Did you disconnect all external peripheral devices and quit all running applications before the install?
If not and as a first step, check this link for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.

For future reference before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.8, check this link.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html
If there is no change after performing all system troubleshooting procedures per the link provided, did you use Software Update to install the 10.4.8 Update?
If so, download the 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update and try re-installing it.

After each and every major OS update is released by Apple, there are a significant number of posts here claiming the update killed this or that or reporting a particular problem always blamed on the update. If there is a 10.4.9 update released by Apple, it will be no different here afterwards.
Although there have been times a portion of a particular major OS update is determined to be the cause of a reported problem, this is usually quickly addressed by Apple but for the most part, the process of installing a major OS update brings an unnoticed/underlying problem to the surface which is not caused by the update.

Anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?

is anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?
- address bar and search box are not resizing with browser window. the address bar and seach box set their size to the window when Safari is launched and remain that size.
- anytime i try to customize toolbar items disappear and i have to restart Safari to get them to appear.
- some 3rd party icons just remove themselves from the toolbar after a period of time
- when i drag a page from the tab bar to create it's own browser window the window disappears but is listed in the windows menu bar. when i select that window from the menu bar the window appears but i can't click on anything.
I've repaired permissions numerous times, reinstalled safari numerous times and restarted my machine numerous times and the issues all remain. i've never had any issues with Safari until now and 5.1 is looking like a huge mess.
besides the bugs above, has anyone had any luck with 1password working with Safari 5.1?

ok, i narrowed most of my issues down to Web Snapper and Videobox by TastyApps. Removed both of those and now everything works better.
I went out to lunch and came back an hour later and magically ALL of my previous toolbar icons that were added to my previous version of Safari appeared. Very strange.
as for 1password, it wasn't working at all before when i posted. everytime i tried installing the extension via the app my, Safari would open a window and hang (never load). I just tried it again and it seems to now be working.

I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup.

Anyone else having this problem after 4.0 update?

I just updated my Ipod Touch to the latest version, 4.0 software, as I'm sure most of you have.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having an issue with the battery draining very very quickly? I have changed nothing on my Itouch, except for the update. All my push notifications are off and I have double checked that. I haven't downloaded any new apps, still using the same ones I always use. My internet connection is still the same as I have checked that too.
My battery is running down so quickly without using any apps that I have had to charge it twice in the last 8 or so hours. Where as before the update, I used to charge is either once a day or everyone few days, depending on what I did with it.
So if anyone else is experiencing this, please let me know. Or if you know how to fix this problem I would appreciate some advice on that too!

I am having this same exact issue with my 2nd generation touch. I saw on some other topics that having wifi on all the time is the problem. I tried turning it off, but it didn't help. You could try that though and see if it helps. But on my iPod, even in Airplane Mode, it drains the battery like a Hummer wastes gas. Incidentally, if turning off wifi works for you, great! Except to me that pretty much defeats the whole purpose of having a touch. Might as well have a nano or Classic. Having to turn of wifi each time you want to check email or use an app that requires wifi is silly. wifi should simply go off when you put the iPod to sleep. But here's the thing. Even with the old version of the software, I could listen to Pandora for 3-4 hours a day (of course requires wifi) and I wouldn't need to charge the iPod but once every couple of days. Now, I can't go 8 hours without the thing draining to 20% warning. To me that says that something else is running the background and that wifi isn't the only problem.

Anyone else having mic problems after 5.1?

I updated to ios 5.1 and now Siri and the voice memo can't hear me unless I hold the phone to my mouth literally shout into the mic. Anyone else have the same problem? I think it's just the iOS update.

I have had problems with my mic, only since updating to 5.1 last week. Intermittently, during a phone call, I can hear the other person saying, "Hello, hello, are you there?" and sometimes after about ten seconds or so they can hear me again. But it goes in and out and is very frustrating. I've never had this problem before and have had iPhones for years. Will have to go to the genius bar I suppose. Hopefully I'm still under warranty.

Is anyone else having majors problems with latest update?!?

I love my Droid X and have never had problems with it until now. My phone had been pestering me about the update so I finally let it. Then I didn't like the look of the main screen, but I liked the index down the side of the contacts and the new keyboard when texting (except the smiley face was missing). But then I started noticing problems, I can't move my contacts to groups and I can't take pictures. I have a constant notification that says 'Blank SD card SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem" and when I try to take a picture I get a message that says "Please insert sd card before using the camera". Is there any way to remove the update without erasing everything on my phone? I'm really not happy with Verizon giving us an update with these kinds of problems. I want a new update asap that undoes the last one.

Sorry, you can't go backwards. However, it appears that you might have a bad SD card. If your computer can read cards, check it out. If not, go to your VZ store and have them check out your SD card. If your card is bad, that is what might be causing you all your headaches.
The store will DO NOTHING for you if you are getting a message saying your SD card is having problems, so don't even go there as they will pretty much tell you that you are out of luck - VZW's official stance on the SD card issue is that it is not their problem. You're better off going and buying your very own SD card, althoug these will have problems also
I started having problems with my SD card when the GB update came out back in August....the original SD card the phone came with completely corrupted, I bought a new card of my very own (since both 800 support and the VZW pretty much told me I was out of luck and laughed me out the door), which had problems as well, getting a message in both late August and mid-Sept that the card had problems and to reformat it. I seriously believe the phone itself, if not the update, is causing problems with the SD card. SD cards don't have problems like this....yes they fail just like anything else, but to have had one card go corrupt and another one give a damaged message all within a months time? Sorry that's not the cards....

That happened to mine once, but a reset corrected it and I haven't had it happen again.

Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

After updating my 4s to ios6, I'm having the same problems with wi-fi switching to cellular on it's own and running up my data usage.....anyone else having this problem?

The iPhone is DESIGNED to switch to cellular data when asleep, unless it's connected to a power source, in which case it will stay logged onto the WiFi network. iPhones have ALWAYS behaved this way.
Either turn cellular data off at night, or leave your phone connected to a power source to continue the WiFI.

MSN's latest update is crashing Firefox many times per day. When I try to send the crash report to Firefox, it says it has trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting that can help?

Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!

Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
