10.5.4 update re-ignites old issue MBP fails to see battery, runs AC only

I upgraded my original MacBook Pro to 10.5.4 yesterday and almost immediately had the same issues that I and others reported in this forum around the time of the 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 updates. (see threads 4796166 & 974017).
The exact problem is that after the update the MBP will not boot up without the AC power connected - even though it can see the internal battery and reports it's charge level normally. For example my battery (this machine's 3rd and at 245 cycles) is showing 99% charge, but if I remove the magsafe connector it will immediately power-off - exactly as if it was a battery-less desktop machine and the mains power was suddenly cut. To be clear this is not a sleep or staged shutdown - it just stops dead.
If you then try to power-up using the power button the machine starts to power up but immediately (less than a second) stops and goes back to full power-off mode. Reconnect the magsafe and everything works fine. Resetting PMU/SMC has no effect - behaves the same.
I managed to get around it last time but it was a fix that only lasted a few weeks. In the end I had to replace the battery with a new one. I'm really annoyed that although this problem was previously reported by many people in the forums, Apple appear to have paid no heed and are still putting out updates that result in dead batteries that have to be replaced.
OK rant over.
If you have the same/similar issue and do/don't manage to get around it please post in here for all.

The battery has always been re-calibrated roughly every 2/3 weeks. The problem also does not appear to be any of the issues on that list fro BatteryUpdater1.2. Also the Leopard 10.5.4 runs with Battery Updater 1.3 rather than 1.2 and (besides getting a little too warm) the problems only started 24hrs or so after the update (ie at first disconnection from mains AC under 10.5.4).
As this is the 3rd battery I've had in the machine and it (the battery) is just under a year old, I took it back to the reseller this morning and I'll be getting a new battery on the warranty.
In the meantime the MBP is running on the previous battery which, having been sitting unused in the box for a year, now appears to be working fine after a full 'calibration charge'. I think I'm sorted!

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

10g-cvs update/import new files issue

Hi all,
when I update a folder in jdev 10g, it doesn't open the new checked in files in the environment
in the old 9i I used to click on 'update folder' and the tool prompted me 'open the new files in the active project?'
now if I update a folder, it just update the already opened files,without importing the new ones
any workaround?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Due to a customer support request, the behavior of prompting to open newly checked out files in the active project was removed when performing CVS update on a folder. If the project file is version controlled and gets updated at the same time, the changes are very difficult to consolidate. For the best CVS experience, we recommend using projects which scan source paths to determine their contents (see Project Properties / Input Paths), and manually refreshing the navigator when new files may have resulted from an update operation.
This issue is being tracked, and we'll keep it in mind.
Thanks.

Formating, it must be gone now?
When you update, delete and reinstall your profile is kept and only program-files are deleted / replaced. All your prefs , account details, mail, folders and add-ons are intact.
All that is in a hidden directory %appdata%\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\.......

Update 10.3.1 Issues Windows Vista

My automatic update check brought up the update for Itunes 10.3.1 but everytime I try to update it says error. It says I can try to manually download by going to Tools, but I do not know where the tab for it is. How can I get around this and update my Itunes. I have windows Vista.

I reaslise this is 2 yrs old but I am having this issue downloading iTunes 11.4
This is the only thread I seen that had the same issue just a different version.
I have tried to download from the site (it will not save the file) and from iTunes check for downloads and I do not have a tools menu to download only..

Does the 10.6.4 update fix the freezing issues with the i5 & i7 MBP's

Since I am on the fence about buying a new 15" MBP I would be interested to know what effect the new update has on the latest MBP's and the freezing issues some are experiencing.

The "freezes" that are mentioned in other threads here appear to be due to a wide variety of different issues. Looking at the relevant posts I'd reckon about one in thirty of them at the most are due to an unusual issue with a few of the current MBPs. The other 29 are simply the regular array of things that cause freezes on any computer - out of date software, corrupted directory structures, the migration of already corrupted software from older computers, duplicate or corrupted fonts, badly written third party software, the occasional shonky HD or RAM module, etc etc etc.
THis is a non-issue from what I can see. Some people may well benefit from updating to 10.6.4 , but probably only because it replaces some files that have been corrupted for other reasons in the past.
I certainly wouldn't be putting off getting a new MBP on the basis of the stuff here. Sure, some people will experience "freezes", but there doesn't really seem to me to be anything out of the ordinary being reported here with respect to the new MBPs. There are a thousand and one things that can lead to "freezes". In a few cases it probably is due to a hardware problem with one component or another. In the vast majority, however, it will simply be because of the common old "thousand and one shocks that silicon chips, magnetic storage and software developers are heir too"!

I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.
OS X Recovery -

After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

How can I get back old issues from my TIME app?

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've been trying to get help for a month now. I had purchased several issues from TIME app but when I just got my ipad 2, I couldn't get the issues back. I used the same ID and password. I decided to try buying a new issue and when I did, I had an email from itunes warning me that it was not my usual ID. I am very confused. I wrote to TIME and they say I should contact itunes. I have spent hours trying to contact itunes for help. They seem uncontactable. Can someone please tell me if I can somehow get my old issues back?

If they were not backed up or part of photostream, then no, you cannot.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
What should I do?

In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?
