10.4.11 update troubles

OK, so I updated to 10.4.11. 1st thing that happens is Safari doesn't work anymore--spontaneously quits immediately after opening. Now I can't even install software I've downloaded to try to solve this problem, for example the Combo update I got from here and Pacifist to extract Safari from it. I get this error message-disk images failed to mount-device not configured.
I'm not a troubleshooting wizard so what next?

You are not alone. Here are some suggestions from MacFixIt:
+We've received several reports from Tiger users that after updating to 10.4.11, Safari 3 (which is now included "for real" and no longer an optional beta add-on) crashes constantly. But in every case, so far, third-party add-ons have been present. It is perfectly believable that there is some serious crashing bug in Safari 3 on Tiger, but before testing, please do make sure you are not using anything that might cause an incompatibility.+
+For example, reader James wrote:+
+After installing the latest 10.4.11 update (and security updates), I found a new bug in Safari 3. Every single time I click the red close box in the last open window within Safari, Safari will crash. It happens every single time. I have no third party software added to Safari at all. This is very troubling.+
+But then it turned out that third-party software was to blame. James was using an InputManager to inject modified functionality into Safari (in this case, it was Speed Download). As we have warned in the past, Input Managers are tricky beasts. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. (This loophole is, to some extent, tightened in Leopard - though it does not seem to be completely closed. Stay tuned for more on that, as we learn more.) If you've installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again. As James' case shows, you can quite innocently, honestly, and reasonably believe you have "no third-party software added to Safari", and be wrong. InputManagers is a key place to suspect that such software may reside. (James' persistence in tracking this down is really commendable.)+
+Similarly, another reader writes:+
+I updated my G4 PowerBook 1.33ghz to OS X v10.4.11, everything seems well after restart, but the new Safari cannot even be launched, once click in the Dock, the "unexpected quit" message will pop out. I have repair permission, use Single User mode with no avail, still quit unexpectedly. I am not sure what went wrong, I have peformed the pre and post OS update procedures (repair permission, unplug everything etc). The only "possible culprit" is that I have installed an additional "hack" to Safari, an additional Tab button being added to Safari's Address Bar. Now I am trying to see if I can uninstall it.+
+Yes! Uninstall it, log out and in, and then let's see how we go. There might still be a crash, but let's eliminate anything that might be unfairly sideswiping Safari first, so we can track it down more reasonably.+
+Again, reader Rich says:+
+I've just upgraded (using the combo updater) from OSX 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. The upgraded Safari 3 now crashes on launch. I'd be interested if others are having this problem. Note that I've never encountered a serious problem with an OSX update until now. I'm using a PowerMac G5 dual 2 GHZ with 3.5 GB of memory.+
+So I asked for the crash log, which Rich very obligingly sent along, and the very first thing I observed is that he's using several "haxies" - Mighty Mouse, LCC Scroll Enhancer, and the Application Enhancer framework. (These are visible in /Library/Application Enhancers.) So my initial recommendation was, let's at least try uninstalling these and then try again. Again, it might be a red herring, but with these things present, rational testing is made much more difficult, and it can't hurt to eliminate them temporarily as part of the investigation procedure.+

Software Update troubles

I have two software updates that I'm having issues with. I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 on a 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro.
Whenever I attempt to install a Keyboard Firmware Update, version 1.0, it tells me: A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.
I have tried this on several different connections, wired and wireless, and continue to be unable to install.
I also am having trouble with the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware update, version 1.5. I have "successfully" installed this update about 4 times, yet the update continues to appear in my update box.

See if downloading it directly works:

If you look at the list of software updates in the Systems Preferences you can see if it actually installed or not. If it is listed it installed. Otherwise download it from the same page previously referenced and see what happens.
Installing a firmware update is not the same as installing a regular update. Also installing the EFI firmware update is even more different.
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter.
If you find that these updates are indeed installed, then check your startup folder in Users in
System Preferences and remove it from the list.

Software Update Trouble

I've been having a lot of troubles with my MacBook and now it seems like my software update doesn't work. Its stuck on about 70% and its not moving at all. My internet connection is fine and it worked a while ago. Here is how it looks like
http://img195.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1zgk.png

Cancel your update process and quit Software Update. Then try the following:
Fix for Software Update
See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist
"xxx" is a number.
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)
Now, do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now restart Software Update and see if it works properly.

IOS 4.3.5 update trouble

I have an iPhone 3GS its current software version is 4.1. My iTunes says there is an update to software version 4.3.5. When I click on the update button iTunes pops up a window stating that the iTunes software is up to date and does not update the iPhone. Is my 3GS too old for the update to 4.3.5? I have not reinstalled iTunes and I am still using an iMAC G5, pre iSight camera.
Thanks
Blaster

Ok after reading through related discussions, I found out that the 3GS should be updated to 4.3.5 according to this thread. https://discussions.apple.com/message/15982138#15982138 So my trouble is that iTunes will not update my 3GS to 4.3.5? I will ask this same question in the iTunes discussions.
Thanks

IPhoto '11 update trouble - "quit unexpectedly"

Hey Hey!
On a MacPro running 10.6.8, I just updated to iLife '11 (9.1.5).
Upon opening iPhoto '11, after a minute or so of the spinning bar (not the pinwheel, but hte white/gray clock-hands-like thing) I get "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto". I click Upgrade. It indicates "Examining iPhoto Library" for 10 seconds. Then it gives a progress bar and "Upgrading iPhoto database". After a few minutes, when the progress bar is near finished, that subwindow disappears, then the program window disappears and a "Problem Report for iPhoto" "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" window pops up.
I've tried four or five times. Once or twice among those times I also then got a window saying that my backup was full and that my Mac had been running without power (I've got it on a UPS that's connected via USB).
I've disabled Time Machine, set my desktops to individual, OS included photos that aren't from my iPhoto library, and disabled my screen saver, that would normally be set to draw from iPhoto.
Nothing's worked. I keep getting this "quit unexpectedly". I fear for my 110GB iPhoto library!
Help?
Thanks,
Archmart

Hey Hey!
Sorry to not post this sooner. It eventually turned out to be a dying hard drive. Strange, but true. The same drive, which I use for iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie content, was doing just fine with my iTunes library for weeks while this trouble with iPhoto went on. Eventually, it started failing to mount and so a replacement and then a restore from Time Machine did the trick. Not sure if that's any help.
Thanks,
Archmart

Mac OS 10.8.5 update trouble

Hi,
I'm new here and I would be grateful to anyone able to help me. Today I have made the Mac OS 10.8.5 update on my 2010 Macbookpro (Apple care ending on November 10). It has downloaded the update from the application center and has started to install it. All went fine. However it has been half an hour now that the screen is blocked at "less than a minute before restart". I have all the right to suspect something is wrong.
So what to do? Wait one or two hours? Restart? I'm not very hot on restarting as it is a Mac OS update.
Of course, I don't have time machine and haven't saved my system (reason why is: never any problem with updates). I'm mac since 1996 and do handle the machines pretty well but this is the first time something si liar happens and I'm not quite sure what to do.
Any advice to give me?
Thanks in advance!

Which KDE is it? If it is KDEMod, then the answer is that there was a compatibility issue with the recent openssl update and qt that caused kdm to crash. Unfortunately, the kdemod devs were traveling when the openssl update hit the repos. As of Sunday morning, the devs placed the compatible version of qt up in the kdemod repos. I tried it and now kdm is back up and running.

OS update troubles, password not working

Trying to update to new OS and my password is rejected. I know it is correct because I am logging in successfully online, and anywhere else it is needed. But each time I try to install the new OS on my iPad, the password is rejected! To make matters worse, I am finding it very frustrating to contact support. I managed to chat with support yesterday, only by accident. I have no idea how I stumbled onto it, and can't get back. The guy also disconnected me unexpectedly. Very disgusted with Apple right now. HELP!

Thank you! Problem solved. I'm still baffled as to why Apple could not provide me this simple answer though. I find the support web pages very unhelpful. Again, thank you.

8.2.4 update trouble - Windows Vista. Can anyone help?

I run Windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron E1505. I allowed an auto-update of 8.2.4 and I'm hosed.
Word will not produce a PDF. Acrobat acts buggy at every turn. I am asked to register everytime I open the program (though, in truth, I think this began with the last critical update).
I've seen on another forum where this problem manifested inself in MAC OS, but I can't seem to find where Windows users are having this problem.
Can anyone assist me?
Here the hitch. I have CS2, which includes Acrobat 7. I can't recall buying 8, though I don't pirate software (I was a furniture designer for years and respect creative license). Does anyone know if CS2 upgrades Acrobat to 8? I have my CS2 package and can work from those discs if I need to completely uninstall Acrobat 8 and start over. Alternately, I may have purchased 8 as a download. Is there an objective way of knowing from within the program or on my computer?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

Launch Acrobat and go to 'Help'->'About Acrobat' and check the version number of the installed software. Since you have updated to 8.2.4, i am sure you have acrobat 8 installed.
You can try repairing the installation by again going to Help->Repair, this should solve your problem.
Alternatively, if this does not solve your problem, then you can try reinstalling your Acrobat 8 program.
Hope this helps.

I tunes 7.0.2 and ipod 1.2 update trouble

i just updated to itunes 7.0.2 and the ipod update 1.2, and since then my ipod is acting differently. for starters when i go to update my ipod and have it plugged in my computer, the screen back light is is on a dim settings. even if i have it turned off. and the most wierd thing was that when i was listening to music at school, it just all of a sudden restarted on me. why is acting like this?

the most wierd thing was that when i was listening to music at school, it just all of a sudden restarted on me.
was it playing a mono mp3 track at the time, brennan?
if so, perhaps check to see if the workaround from the following document is of any help with that:

Iphone 2.01 update troubles

Prior to updating my phone i had no problems. Post update it crashed and it wouldn't reset. Finally im back up and running but i'm finding in areas where i had a previous connection its now saying "cannot access the network". Anyone else getting this? How can i go back to 2.0?
Thanks for any help.

rs8,
Where and when do you see the error "cannot access the network" ? What are you trying to do when the error appears?
Have you tried resetting network settings? To do so, you would navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Hope this helps,

IPod updater trouble. Help!!!!!!!!!

When I updated my iPod it seamed to be fine but when I disconnected it all of my photos and notes were gone from my Nano , so I checked my computer to see if they were still on there and all of my 200 pictures were some how deleted. and on the iPod options you have to have it in disc mode because you can't uncheck it.I need help. and thank you for any responses.

You can't uncheck enable disk use while using manual update. Perhaps you meant automatic?
Why do you need it out of disk use? Just go back and make sure the photo and note settings are correct, and make sure you eject the nano in the iTunes source list before disconnecting it.

10.4.7 update trouble Looping on Login App

Hi All Last night I set all the computers at my company to update to 10.4.7, via the downloaded combo updater. All the computers are fine save for one.
On this computer it will not finish booting.
so far I have
Run disk repair and premissions repair from the disk utility via install disk.
run fsck via single user mode
attempted to boot in safe mode
When I turn on verbose mode for the start up the boot process seems to be looping on
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started
over and over again I've let it run for up to 30 mins like this before restarting by holding the power buttong for 4 sec
Just wanted to know if there is anything I can do or if I should just reinstall tiger and than update again.

Can you mount the drive from another computer via FireWire Target Disk Mode? then repair the drive; delete cache folders etc.
From single user mode you could also try to rename
