10.4.9 combo updater, sound problem

Installed the 10.4.9 combo updater and everything seems fine except the sound volume is wierd. Watching stuff like videos the volume is way to loud. Have to turn down the setting all the way. Strange....
lenn

HOORAY! I'm not crazy!
I can't tell if the sound is actually louder, or if they just changed the gradation. I think it's actually a little bit of both. I always kept my sound at 50%, and if something was too low I turned it up to 75%. Now 50% sounds a lot more like 75%, and while I rarely listened to anything at 100%, even 100% sounds louder. The gradation between clicks also seems to be less linear and more logrithmic...I think.
Hard to tell since I never paid attention to it, but 50% definitely sounds louder, and I'm pretty sure at 100% it's louder than it was before.
How can they NOT document something like this in the patch notes?

10.4.11 combo update install problem

Has anyone else had trouble installing the combo update from 10.4 to 10.4.11?? Mine almost finishes and says it encounters an unknown error and cannot finish the install. Says it moves the update to trash and says try again from the finder...
HELP!!

Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

10.4.9 Combo Update amavisd problem

I just applied the 10.4.9 combo update to a 10.4.8 machine that had been updated previously with BuildSmart.
Everything seemed fine, except amavisd refused to start.
System log fills up with amavisd failing & throttling messages and the outbound queue (obviously) fills up.
-"sudo launchctl load org.amavis.amavisd.plist" reports "Nothing to load"
-the original amavisd binary is where I left it, in /usr/bin
-the launchd plist itself is/was unchanged
-the PID file in /var/amavis went missing after the upgrade, but copying the PID file to /var/amavis from a backup did not help
-replacing all the postfix & amavis config files with backups did not help
-telnet localhost 10024 responds with a permission denied message
repairing permissions results in * a lot* of fixes to permissions, but nothing that allowed amavisd to launch. I repaired the clamav user after permission rebuild with 'sudo chown clamav:clamav /usr/share/clamav'
postconf -n looked normal and matched the backup output
file owners & groups all looked normal
su'ing to clamav and issuing "amavisd reload" results in some type of "compilation" error message and a complaint about MIME:Base 64 not being installed - almost like the amavisd binary was a make file ... I confirmed it was at least marked and labeled executable ...
I installed MIME::Base64 using CPAN- no change.
I am now restoring from backup and will try again using software update instead of the combo updater. If it repeats, I'll post with more details.
In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

This is a PPC machine (not universal ...)
I've gone back to my backup for now, but any ideas you might have would be most appreciated.

Amavis log is empty (except for processing done before the update)
ClamAV log is the normal startup messages
As far as the logs go, Amavis won't start, so the only messages are in the System log from launchd stating that amavis failed to launch and that it will retry x more times. I can't launch amavisd in debug mode either, although any attempt to do so, or issuing amavis reload (as user clamav) generates the message about MIME::Base64 being unable to load and "exiting at line 157".
launchd seems to be doing its job.
I had a look at line 157 in amavisd - it comes right after the section where amavis tries to to load all the required perl modules. Everything I'm seeing is pointing to amavis not being able to open the required perl modules.
I've checked and compared my perl installation and re-installed all the required modules from CPAN. The last thing I did before I gave up was copy over the entire working perl setup from my backup. Perl works, the MIME::Base64 module works ...
perl -V looks like the below; the list of installed modules is way too long to post.

10.4.9 Combo Update (Intel) Problem !!!!

Hello people
i have a 8 core mac pro and it came with pre installed 10.4.9 .
I want to apply a 10.4.9 combo update as for Protools and the other softwares are requering for this clean update.
I downloaded combo intel update , but when i try to make it , it keeps saying ;
''you cannot install mac osx update combine (intel) on this volume . This volume does not meet the requirements for this update''
I really dont understand it . Any one knows the solution ???
Thanks in advance .

You can't install the 10.4.9 combo update because you
are already at 10.4.9
Normally, you should be able to run a combo updater with the same OS version number as the currently installed OS version as many times as you wish (assuming it is for the same type of hardware, PPC or Intel, of course).
The exception is when the combo updater is older than the actual version of the OS installed on the Mac. This can happen because Apple occasionally releases new models that require new extensions to function. The version of the OS supplied with those models is a new build including those extensions. The previously released updater does not include those new extensions & thus cannot install that build of the OS, so you get the error message.

ISO 5 update Sound Problems

After installing the iSO 5 updateon my iPad (1st gen) I do not have any sound on most of my Apps and even things like no clicking sounds while using the keyboard, no alertsound for e-mail etc. Anyone know how I can fix this? I already did a restore and that didn't help.

Pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 - resolved in 10.6.8 combo update?

The pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 forced me to go through the long uninstall process after a couple days stressing over what the problem was -- it was Adobe tech support that finally informed me what the problem was. Is the problem fixed in the 10.6.8 combo update? Since I got no replies when I asked this question a different way yesterday, can anyone say (for helpful answer points) whether Apple would be inclined to answer this question if I just call them up (i.e., without existing AppleCare)? Any other suggestions for getting official support on this question? As it stands, I fear updating at all, and could be stuck with 10.6.6 for a long time.

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

Should I download delta or combo update for a new MBP with problem?

Hi everyone, my cMBP is a mid 2012 15 iChat version, the screen brightness control and auto graphics switching functions r disappeared by themselves, until recently I heard about combo and delta update, so I hoping this update can solve my problem,
My os x is 10.8.3 out of the box n I haven't do any update yet,
So should I download delta 10.8.3 or 10.8.3 combo?
Will I able to download 10.8.3 delta in the same os x 10.8.3 system?
Should I straight away download combo 10.8.5 update or download 10.8.3 first to prevent problems bring to the new os x version?
Or should I redownload the os x 10.8?
Does this combo update help me?
Btw my mac warranty will expired on mid April
Thanks everyone for helping me!

I would download and install the 10.8.5 Combo Update. It's my preference as it contains all updates from 10.8.2 through 10.8.5.

10.5.8 Combo update problem

I'm trying to update from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. I download the Combo update 10.5.8 and double click on the .dmg icon. I get the following message:
The following disk images failed to mount
MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg not recognized
What can I do to fix this? At this time I cannot upgrade.

This download I've tried twice with the same results... "unable to mount disk" I need the Combi update b/c my primary application (Digidesign Pro Tools) requires it... don't know why but using the update feature can cause problems in Pro Tools.
Digidesign recommends the Combi update...
I'll try to download again tonight and keep my fingers crossed... but I would really like an answer to this problem if possible...
Thanks for your response!

Sound problems with apps after updating to IOS 5.1 with Ipad 2

Hi there,
I am having a sound problem since the update to ios 5.1. I have an Ipad 2 and all my games don't play sound anymore. I tried to redownload the games as well as restarting the Ipad, but nothing worked for me. Does anyone of you have the same problem?
best, addario22

Try backing up and doing a full restore and see if that helps.

Sound Problem in Z1Compact after new 4.4 kitkat update

Hi, i am facing sound problem while incoming calls, messages and Whats app after installing 4.4 kitkat recently..
pls suggest with possbile solution.,

Same problem here with the KK update.. The mysterious 25/03/2014 update did not fix these soud issues..
The sound is incredibly low and seems to come from the ear plug on top of the phone (even when I have no ear plug connected in...) and not from the bottom speaker; And when miraculously the sound comes from the bottom speaker it is craked and saturated..
Very annoying, I hope Sony will fix this issue soon cause I miss a lot of calls and notifications.. What's the point to have a phone if I can't receive calls...?
What a pity for a 600$ smartphone..
I really think to sell it and go buy another brand, I'm very disapointed with Sony.. Nice products but **bleep**ty service (and please, do not tell me to reset the phone or wathever, it's been 3 days I struggle with the forums "solutions" and still have these sound problems...)
*Sorry for my bad English, I hope my message is still understandable, thanks.

Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Combo update problem

I have an older Black MacBook from 2008 (4,1). I was always on 10.6.6 as I only really did use this machine for live on stage performance and it has been rocksolid. I decided to to apply the 10.6.8 combo update finally. Everything went smooth but then I got a few messages saying that extensions weren't installed properly. I googled up the issue and I keep seeing the common response of "Uninstall Vuze" of other torrent applications. But I have never had any of those installed on this machine. I then saw a different answer that instructed me to repair disk permissions, restart and apply the combo update again.
This did extuinguish 3 of the error messages I saw but I still have 1 extension error hanging around which is a "N-Mon.kext" extension error. What does this affect? Will my laptop be unstable on stage now?
I have no idea how to get rid of this and I decided to finally post after searching for an answer all over the web and in the these forums. I want to avoid reinstallation of everything because I have so many programs and plugins on this machine.

This may help:

ISight iChat/sound problem

Right here is my problem at the moment.

iSight works with aMsn using video
iMovie works with both iSight and sound..
and on windows AIM works with sound..
so my iSight works just fine..so does sound..
so what's the problem..???
any help would be great
(getting a new router soon incase its my old router)

Greeting, Lars. With your upgrade to Tiger, it seems you have encountered the Possible hardware or software conflicts.
While not universal, such complaints seem more frequent when more than one app or device may be using (or trying to access) iSight. The suggestions in the link above give most people usable workarounds. You have already discovered one (using only one app at a time.)
The fact that you did not have this problem with iChat AV 2.1 in Panther give a couple of troubleshooting ideas that may help you.
Check the EyeTV web site and its help/support info there to see whether firmware or software updates are available to resolve the problem for Tiger users. If other Tiger / EyeTV users are experiencing the same issue since changing to Tiger, EyeTV may already have answers. Perhaps EyeTV is currently working a solution to return performance to the same level as was available under Panther?
Alternatively, you may find that some of the suggestions in Help for iChat AV 3 Problems yield improvement. Although not intended to specifically address conflict issues like yours, the OS X Maintenance, QuickTime version or reinstallation, or the Combo Updater suggestions there have all helped others suffering a wide variety of problems.
Finally, with the increased processor load and bandwidth requirements of iChat AV 3 over iChat AV 2.1, you will likely benefit from running iChat AV 3 alone (with no other open applications,) at least until you resolved all other possible issues.
If you want to submit feedback directly to Apple about this issue rather than just seeking suggestions from us iSight users, send Feedback for the closest related application from the list of Product Feedback.
If you find any better solutions, please let us know.
Cheers,
Jim

IMac not waking up from sleep after 10.6.6 combo update

Prior to update everything working fine, permissions repaired, file structures sound, no issues. After update, iMac won't wake up properly from sleep. Moving mouse (either Bluetooth or wired) has no reaction. Hitting key on keyboard (Apple aluminum extended wired keyboard) causes desktop screen to appear, but the spinning gear/pinwheel appears in screen center, and continues to spin. This continues and continues, no reponse from keyboard/mouse. Only work around has been to force quit computer and reboot. Problem repeats next time computer goes to sleep. Repairing permissions has not effect on issue, but now list of permissions getting repaired is very lengthy. Causes? Solutions?

Macster,
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job. If you own one, run it first.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Then, Try downloading the 10.6.6 Combo update, from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse,Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.

10.6.7 Combo Update = Dead iMac

I have posted this in the iMac category but it probably belongs here.
After a failed Software Update of 10.6.7 on a 20" 2007 silver iMac (it failed to reboot fully and was stuck in a loop with a blue screen), I used an install disk to re-install SL back to 10.6.0. All good I thought and everything was working fine, so I downloaded the .7 combo update and installed. Same thing after restart - stuck in a loop with a blue screen. Once again forced shutdown, pressed power button again and nothing happened. No power, no sound, no chime. The iMac is dead this time. I have reset SMC etc but no help.
I'm hoping someone else is having a similar problem because when I take it to the Apple Store they will not believe a software update could cause this.

Sounds like you may have a permissions issue. The proper way to install a major update is to first repair disk permissions, reboot, do the update, reboot, then do another repair of the disk permissions. If the list of items being repaired shows anything other than java items then rerun it again until that's all you have (for some reason the java run time system always gives a permission error).
I would try to start the unit from the dvd, run disk utility and see if the drive shows up, if it doesn't then your drive is dead and you need to go to the Apple store anyway. If it does show up, select the volume and run "repair disk". If that is clean, then do a repair permissions. If it can't be made clean, then you may need to erase the drive and start all over.

10.3.9 combo update gone wrong

Hi. I started out with a base os of 10.3.5. I recently got DSL so i decided to update the computer. I used the auto-update and it downloaded the update. After a restart, I had it update again. After a second restart, I went online because I noticed that the finder did not match the pictures online(I.E. it has the functions to switch user, not log out) I tried repairing disk permissions figuring that it could just be something odd. I found:
A.it ran 10.3.9 software
B.It could not run "diskimagemounter" to open .dmg files
C.it was missing all the drivers for USB and sound
D.After being shut down, it would not reboot using the hard drive's X folder.
E.(After searching through many boxes [i just moved] i found the disk) Archive and (install?) always has errors at 1%
F.Disk First Aid fails saying,
"Disk utility stopped repairing 'Macintosh HD'
because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit"
In the repair log it says:
Repairing disk for "Macintosh HD"
Checking Catalog file.
invalid key length
Volume check failed
I don't want to clean install this computer because my sister needs files off of the hard drive..
Can i create a new disk partition in which to install a second copy of 10.3.5, boot off that one, and move all the files?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
P.S. it won't boot at all off the hard drive currently and my warrenty has exspired

If your Mac won't boot at all from it's own hard drive, and you can't repair the disk or do an Archive & Install, or erase the disk, your only option would seem to be to move those files your sister needs off the hard disk, then erase the drive and reinstall OS X from scratch.
However, if what you said about using the auto-update (Software Update) feature was true, you did not do a 10.3.9 Combo Update. This has never been part of Software Update and would not show up when you run it. You must have done a 'delta' update from 10.3.8 to 10.3.9 instead. If you reinstall 10.3, you would then need to download and install the 10.3.9 Combo Update, which is approximatelyy 117 MB in size.
Hope this helps,
Mulder
