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
~/Library/Preferences to another name.

Hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until the computer shuts down. Restart. Report what state the computer is in at that time.

AD FS - KB3003381 causes redirect loop on login

Hi,
I'm using AD FS 2.1 for SSO (2 IIS sites and several WCF services) but my users have been seeing redirect loops when they try to login. Once the user's browser recognises the loop and interrupts it, they are able to either resubmit the request with a page
refresh (depending on the browser) or navigate to the URL of the site and they are logged in, but this is not a good workaround. We are using SecurEnvoy for 2FA.
This behaviour started shortly after KB3003381 was applied to the production environment, and I have replicated the behaviour on our staging environment. Removing this patch from the staging environment causes the login mechanism to behave normally.
From Fiddler, once users have authenticated successfully using SecurEnvoy, they are directed to
https://<AD FS proxy URL>/adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=<site URL>&wctx=rm%3d0%26id%3dpassive%26ru%3d%252f&wct=<UTC timestamp>
which results in a 302 redirect to
https://<AD FS proxy URL>/adfs/ls/auth/basic/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=<site URL>&wctx=rm%3d0%26id%3dpassive%26ru%3d%252f&wct=<UTC timestamp>
This should return a 200, but instead returns a 302 redirect to the same URL, until stopped by the browser.

It seems that you have already asked in another forum: http://serverfault.com/questions/658095/adfs-2-1-redirect-loop-on-login
Simply remove the installed update and contact Microsoft to report the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/ContactUs

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I competed updating my ipad2 to ios6. I have 11 apps which has updates I need to perform. But, the procedures of 'agree' and update keep going in a loop and I was not able to update any of the 11 app I need to update. Why the up date procedures keep loopi

I completed updating my iPad2 to ios6. I hv 11 app which need to be updated and these are flagged. But the updating procedures keep looping itself and I was not able to update any of the 11 app.? Why the update procedures keep looping and how to get out of it.

Okay - let's cut to the chase...
If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

Just updated my login to apple on mac but ipad still displaying old email for login. Anyone know how to update ipad to new login details?

Hello Beeched,
Thank you for the question. Are you seeing the previous Apple ID in the iTunes and App Store? If you are, use these steps to sign in with your new Apple ID:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If you trying to change the Apple ID signed into iCloud, use these steps:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Once you delete the account from your device, you will have an option to sign in with your new Apple ID in Settings>iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My ipad is on an infinite loop. I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started. I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine. Please help!

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges). I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here. It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT. How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password. I reset it, but it did not change the problem. Can someone help me?

It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.

HT5525 I can't find the updates tab in the mac app store (just updated iTunes)?

I'm trying to purchase a book of photos through iPhoto - it tells me to update iPhoto before I can order the book. My macbook pro is running OSX Lion so it says I can update iPhoto "in the updates tab of the mac app store"... but when I go to the app store in iTunes, there is no updates tab. I then tried the second update option, via software update under the apple menu, but that just updated a bunch of other firmware, not iPhoto.
Can anyone help point me in the direction of the iPhoto '11 update please?

You don't use iTunes for that. Launch the App Store application
that's in your Applicaitons folder, login with your Apple ID and you should be able to update iPhoto.

Does updating CS6 with CC's app cancel the CS6 license?

So my company bought me Adobe Production Premium CS6 about 2 years ago, and I have been happily using Premiere CS6, Photoshop CS6, Audition and more.
Today we got Creative Cloud and have memberships for everyone in the creative team. I noticed that with the Creative Cloud toolbar App, I am able to update my CS6 version of apps, so I went ahead and updated Premiere CS6 to version 6.0.5.
I know that files created in Premiere CC cannot be opened in CS6. And this got me thinking.
So after buying Production Premium two years ago, my company and myself have a lifetime license of that product, which is great. Creative Cloud on the other hand is subscription based, and we all know that if we end that subscription, we lose access to Creative Cloud and all the apps within.
My question is: If I updated Premiere CS6 using the Creative Cloud toolbar app thing, and if we eventually end our subscription to CC, will Premiere CS6 vanish because it was technically updated through the CC toolbar app? Would it revert to a version before 6.0.5?
In essence my question is, is my lifetime license to the Production Premium CS6 suite affected by my subscription to CC? Would ending my CC subscription affect my installed CS6 apps in any way? And further-more would my licenses get all jumbled up in the Adobe authentication world?
Thank you,
Bobby

No, you can always reinstall it from adobe.com and then add your serial number to be back up and running.
bobbylongoria wrote:

Yes, it will be at 6.0. However, you can update it to 6.0.5 from adobe.com.

No.

No, you just have to install them from adobe.com if you ever end a Creative Cloud subscription.

That shouldn't happen. We have all your info here so we can help you if you ever run into trouble. Just contact support.

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.
