10.5.4 seems to have more problems than previous versions

i am experiencing a lot more crashes of adobe photoshop (still on cs2) after the installation of leopard 10.5.4. this is very frustrating - random functions start spinning for minutes and then crashes the application. this happens now several times a day.
there are also evidently new issues regarding wireless connections.
anybody who can share these experiences?

CS2 is not rated for Mac OS X 10.5. Consider yourself lucky to have been able to run it on any version of 10.5. You were living on borrowed time while it still ran while you were updating it. CS3 is needed for better (it still isn't perfect) Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility.
As for wireless issues, there have ALWAYS been wireless issues. People just don't know how to isolate them. They have nothing to do with the updates. Data files get corrupted, and make them appear to happen during an update, only because an update expects a healthy system to begin with. If your system is not healthy, don't upgrade until it is healthy. Updates are only for adding new features. They are not there to fix "issues". You need to troubleshoot issues before applying updates.
See my FAQ* on various WiFi issues which have appeared through the ages:

Dw cs3 - even more buggy than previous versions?

Hi peeps.
i have to say over the last few years this product has been
getting more and more unusable, buggy and just worse :(
4 examples (cant think of more off the top of my head):
:: im inserting FLV videos into a page - i do an F12 to
preview in my test environment (using php). FLV simply are not
transferred accross... this means i have to keep copy/pasting into
the design environment... wtf!
:: i cannot FTP files over about 7Mb to live sites. all i get
it connection lost. yet, when i use a FREE ftp client like cute, i
have no problems. i have tried all configs to get out. why is the
limit at ~7Mb??
:: i can design a really nice, although complex CSS layout
that works flawlessly in IE, FF, opera etc. yet looks like crap in
the designer. why cant it render proper CSS layouts???
:: i design a PHP site, yet multiple times throughout the
project various PHP elements and includes stop showing. meaning its
almost useless to see and design view. i might as well use notepad
or something else that can do code colouring.... which also isnt
perfect as comments in PHP sometimes mis-colour.
:: not to mention the annoying issues with photoshop STILL
not importing clipboard 1/2 the time - meaning i have to restart pc
with all open apps etc... tital pain in the backside.
wtf is going on? the adobe premium suite is amazingly
expensive, and since i live in England, is DOUBLE the price of the
US version. yet we are told that we pay additional money for the
language packs!

Did you upload the FLV file to the test environment? You will
need to do
that.
> this means i have to keep copy/pasting into the design

Huh?

Let's see one of these layouts, please. Can you post a link
to one of the
pages?

This would be a function of your local environment and
testing setup, I
believe.

Is Live Update helpful yet, or still more problems than fixes?

Hi
my 180 has been running decently for a while now. The only thing that still makes me want to hang myself is this asinine problem with the sound card occasionally disappearing, requiring an unplugged reboot.
I shut off live update a while back because it seemed to create more problems than it fixed. can anyone confirm whether there is anything in there that addresses the sound card issue?
Also, there appears to be a new BIOS featuring an option to "Enable USB Keyboard Latency". I am currently using a wireless USB keyboard and mouse with no problems. Do I care about the new BIOS?
Here's my current version info (mine on the left, MSI's on the right)
BIOS- 3.3 3.5
Live VGA Driver- 4467 6681
all other are up to date with live update. I have been very gun shy about letting it update these, since it seemed to cause so much trouble over the summer. Can anyojne shed some light on whether these updates are necessary?
tia!

okay, i guess it is a deluxe model. i initially thought the deluxes were the ones that could run dvds in hifi mode.
anywho, it finally lost the sound card again. it was an interesting feeling being excited about it for once, because i could continue this thread.
the speaker icon in the taskbar disappeared, and the nvidia drivers vanished from "sound, video, and game controllers" device manager (both nforce codec and nforce processor). msi live update doesn't find anything new, but just for giggles i clicked "update driver" from the properties tab on both, and windows was able to find new drivers.
at this point, i assume that noone has found a solution, so I'll keep updating this thread for those who are fellow sufferers.
Another thought on the heat issue, the outside temps hit 66 degrees fahrenheit today (who said january?), so i wonder if that raised the temp in the cabinet just enough?

I seem to have more than one apple ID. How can I get rid of old ones?

I seem to have more than one apple I D. Apple keep rejecting my password so I create new one. iPhone still seemd to use original ID. Apps get attached to old IDs. Can't log into game centre on old ID or use my nickname. Says its already in use! By me!

My iTunes library seems to have a problem. Help!

My iTunes library seems to have a problem. I saw no way to "automatically" convert to the file structure that many others have (including my kids' macs) that separates under iTunes media, music, movies, tv shows, audiobooks, etc. So I did this manually. I have always maintained the latest OSX and itunes but the library seems to be an issue. I want to back up my thousands of songs & "spoken" mp3s + the audiobooks. I already have backups of my tv shows and movies (USB ext. drive). I do have a b/u using TM on an ext USB drive. However, I'd really like to b/u the other stuff not just with TM. The library now shows that I need to "locate" most files (like the audiobooks) and when I do they are put into "music.?" What am I doing wrong?

If in iTunes advanced preferences you leave "copy files to iTunes folder" and "organize music" checked, iTunes will put the files where it wants to put them. It may not always make sense to you or be how you would do it. It's one or the other. Either you let iTunes manage your music as it wants to, or you take over responsibility 100% and then you have to know all the details of how iTunes works so you don't break something.

I would like to upgrade to the next step, but because I have many problems with the version 10.4.11, I'm worried that upgrading would create more problems.

Due to a misunderstanding with [email protected] in September of 2010, many of my applications and important files were put into the trash during a cleaning. The trash hadn't been deleted, so a CleanApp rep told me to drag my important files to a folder on my desktop. They were unable to help me with anymore advice with the exception that if I followed the pathway of the application, I could manually restore it to its proper location.
This was asking a lot of me because I didn't have the experience or knowledge of undertaking such a massive restoration. However, I did the best I could. What had been put in the trash was not just a few files -- there were hundreds of files or apps that I discovered in the trash. As I said, this was a misunderstanding. I was left feeling devastated at what had happened.
Since then, my iMac Intel Core Duo has been running on its last legs. I'm surprised I can even get to my email. As far as using the software that I bought with my iMac, I can't. I just do the basics.
What I have been wanting to do is to upgrade to the next level. However, I worry that if I upgrade a crippled OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, I would be creating more problems than what I already have. Do you agree that an upgrade would make matters worse?

It won't necessarily make it worse, but may not make it better. I am not familiar with the utility you usedm though anything that cleans or maintains your Mac should be avoided unless you know what you are doing and what it does. Probably re-installing software from the official sources (download or CDs) is the best way to ensure missing parts are all replaced.
If this is a core duo and not a core 2 duo then the highest you can go is Snow Leopard 10.6 Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

If using the built-in Maps app, directions are not available everywhere. Read here:

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

What could be the reason when to get sync session failed to start message. I have upgrades to IOS5 but seemed to have no problems

I had upgraded nearly 1,5 month ago to IOS 5.0.1 and seemed to have no problems during the process (all my aps and books retored fine).
However suddenly today i-tunes says it can't be synchronizes (starting 1/7) because sync session failed to start.
I've tried also with WiFi sync but was always trying to restart syncronization.
I've runned the i-tunes diagnostic for sync and said it passed.
Could be H/W problem with my ipad?
Thanks

I-tunes version 10.5.3.3

I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space? Thanks

I have more songs than I can put on Ipod. Will unclick some songs but one at a time is taking forever. How can I un-click all songs in an album without doing each singly, to reduce space needed on iPod? Thanks

Why not try syncing a smart playlist that updates automatically every time you sync your iPod?
Try something like this:
1. Pull down File > New Smart Playlist;
2. Playlist IS Music; click the plus button;
3. Last Played IS NOT in the last 90 days;
4. Select the option to Limit to xxx items selected by Random and click OK.
Name the playlist that is created something distinctive then sync you iPod with that. It will automatically update based on the last played dates of a tune and you'll always have fresh content on your iPod. Modify the playlist as needed to make it give you the results you want.

Michael

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

IPad says I have more videos than I have

trying to reduce storage I have found that my iPad says I have 44 videos when I only have 9. Where should I look for them please?

First, check the recently deleted folder. If that is empty, try: Why does my iOS device say I have more photos than I can find?

Hi all
Like to share that my AV Adapter problem is solved ... brought it to Apple Service Center as a last resort after the new iOS v5.1 did not solve mine like some others have theirs solved.
In fact, the Apple Service Center tried my AV Adapter and find that it does not work with their iphone and ipad too and flagged for a replacement.
Just this week collected the replacement and tested that the replaced adapter works !
So this "unsupported device" error msg could also be due to faulty adapter .... although it is unbelievable that a "simple" wired connector could so easily breakdown after 1 time use ! I never did believe that it can be broken so easily as we hardly used it after the first testing with our TV on HDMI.
Closing this chapter of mine finally.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS. Apple, you have a quality assurance issue. Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
