10.4.7 Intel Update Problems (Apperntly different that the others)
I tried to run the update from Software Update and it didn't work.
After downloading everything it gave me an Error Message saying:
Error Reading Package
There was an error while evaluating JavaScript for the package
So I tried the Combo as some peole suggested in other threads, and it gave me the same error. I gave Disc Utility a try ad it said it needed some repairs, but the repair button was grayed-out.
So I restarted the Mac and now I can't launch Safari and Preview is also giving me an Error saying:
You cannot use the application "Preview" with this version of Mac OS X.
I checked for the version of Mac OS X at "About This Mac"
and it only says my serial number. The version number and the build number of the OS are gone.
How can i fix this?
iMac (Intel CoreDuo) Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Did you re-run the Combo Updater? If so then it's likely that something got corrupted either before you did the original update or during it. Some things you might try:
Drag the following files to the trash:
com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
com.apple.loginwindow.plist (a file in /Library/Preferences/)
Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
You may be prompted to enter your administrator password when dragging these files to the trash. You should restart afterwards.
If you still have the problem download the shareware utility TinkerTool System and use it to clear all user and system caches, font caches, old log archives, etc. Restart afterwards.
If you still have a problem try one of the following at a time:
1. Boot into Safe Mode (restart and after the chime press and hold down the SHIFT key until the startup screen appears with the dark gray Apple logo. Release the key as soon as the spinning gear appears.)
2. Create a new user account. Log into that account.
If the problem ceases with one or the other let us know which solved the problem.
Failing all of the above I'd say your best recourse is an Archive and Install. This does not require erasing the hard drive but you will need sufficient space for installing a fresh copy of OS X.

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?
Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
YannickThat sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****
Dear all: I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****, every time I sync the iPad gets bigger and bigger. What is this "other" and what do I do to keep it from getting bigger? Thanks to all!
Marcos,
I did not try your trick, didn't see your post until after i visited the Apple store. The tech at the genius bar did not know why my "Other" memory had grown so huge. It was over 24GB, which only left me with 1 GB free on my 32GB iPad. I had been loading and unloading video's yesterday thru itunes to try various compression settings. I did not notice the other categrory growing until I tried to load a 3 GB movie file and it told me I was out of memory.
I probably loaded and unloaded 30 different times, trying different compression settings. In the process of doing this, it apparently loaded up the "Other: stuff. To me it seems like recycle bin in windows, but no one knows how to free it up.
So here is what he did and it worked. He reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Then he hooked it up to itunes on his computer. Fortunately I have everything backed up on my home computer. When my iPad showed up on iTunes at the store, it showed the 24 MB of "Other" momentarily, then it reduced to about .7 GB giving me 24.5 GB free. Resetting it seemed to do the trick, but he still could tell me how this is happening and how to prevent it.
I think I'll try to call someone at applecare to get an explanation, hopefully. -
My problem is that when using face time either I can hear the person and they cannot hear me or they can hear me and I cannot hear them. Is there something I need to do in the controls to take care of this issue? Thank you for your response.
Diannie-
Since you sometimes can hear, and sometimes can be heard, your iPad is probably working OK.
But what about the other parties? Is it always the same prson who can not hear you? Is it always the same (but different) person you can not hear? In other words, the problems could be at the other end.
You and your friends might try the Skype App. Once registered, you can access Skype's test server to check your audio. It lets you speak for several seconds, and then plays it back.

I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you.
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
Cheers, Tom -

I'm having the same problems as some of the others, but still don't see a corrective answer. I'm having trouble viewing video through MSN without losing connection and having to reset the router.
How do I roll back to my previous version of firmware?, and is that the only way to fix this problem, or has linksys offered any support?
Thanks,
Chrisplease let me know the model and version no. of the router, so that i can tell you what should be done...

WAP4410N problems, slightly different than the previous ones
Hello,
I've just purchased a WAP4410N-E V02 for home use and I'm experiencing some strange problems. Whenever the device is close to other electrical devices, it slows down until it eventually grinds to a halt, sometimes requiring a power cycle. I can ping the AP, or my gateway (over the wireless connection), and the ping times go from 1-20ms to 15,000ms+. After a certain amount of time, the wireless connection completely dies and the AP isn't even reachable over the wired network (no ping, no http).
By close, I mean like 1m away in some cases, or less in other cases. Since this is for home use, it's a bit of a problem, as my placement options are quite limited. Here are the 2 scenarios:
1) close to my vdsl modem/router
the wireless-G connection on the router is turned off.
Distance is 1m.
The AP is plugged into the router.
This setup is completely unusable, as it instantly becomes slow. If I pull it away about 2m and place the AP on the floor, it works fine.
2) plugged into my switch close to the tv/pvr (tv over ip)
Distance is up to 2m.
When the tv is on by itself, no problem
When the pvr is on, the AP starts becoming unstable.
If I turn the pvr off, it recovers (unless I left it on long enough, then it gets stuck for good and never recovers).
So I can really reproduce these problems now. At first I thought it was completely random and I was trying all sorts of different ideas like changing channels, changing ssid settings, etc..
Am I really putting this device in situations where it wasn't designed to work? Just because it's a small business device, I don't see why it shouldn't work 1m away from a home VDSL modem, or 2m away from a tv tuner/pvr. I can't really mount it high up on the wall, away from all interference because it wouldn't look so nice. I guess home use has different priorities.
Also, seeing how other people have certain unexplainable problems with these devices, could it be related? I don't know how their setups are, but I can say that the behaviour is similar to other posts that I've read.
What is the proper way to proceed with this problem? Do I just return it to the store? Do I need an RMA? Or does Cisco have some recommendations that I can try so I don't have to return it? I'm quite disappointed that I've lost a whole day trying to diagnose these issues. I was hoping that if I spend a bit more money on a business-grade product, I would save time with trying to figure out the quirks of most home products, but it seems to be the opposite in this case.
As a note, I have done the following, as per previous posts regarding this AP:
- using A/C adapter, not POE
- Hardware reset
- Install firmware 2.0.4.2
- set wired port to 100mbps
- single SSID, WPA2-Personal, 11 character a-z key
- B/G/N Mixed,
- Channel 11 (tried Auto as well)
- Key renewal 36000
- disabled connection control
- 802.11d disabled, Germany, 20MHz bandwidthSee all the settings available in XLD and that will give you an idea as to how ripping could potentially vary between rippers. I don't know the details of how iTunes works but error detection has a lot of different settings with XLD. iTunes does some too, but I don't think the details are publicly available for comparison.
It may not only vary with the rip settings but also with the encode settings if you are using mp3 or AAC. -
When I try to update iPhoto it says that the update was issued to a different Apple ID
I updated my Mac and then I lost access to my old iPhoto. It won't let me update the new one either and says that the update was issues to a different Apple ID. No other apple ID has ever been used on this computer....

I tried to Google a topic but when I clicked on the topic I wanted it posted a popup that said it had to update Firefox, followed immediately with a box that says it can't update firefox as it is running. These two boxes keep popping up as soon as you close the other one in one giant loop. I can only turn it off by shutting down the computer. I didn't have Firefox running when I tried to google the topic.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

where did youtube got after update?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.
