10.5.7 update - no problems here

I am not bragging, just want to impart what I did after reading all the posts about the problems.
Downloaded the combo update from the Apple support site. 792 megs.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
Repaired permissions.
Restarted in safe mode.
Installed the combo update.
Restarted (restarted one time on it's own after that). From restart in safe mode to final restart took about 25 - 30 minutes.
Repaired permissions once more.
I don't that it would have gone any differently had I just did a software update from the apple menu, but I didn't.
Hopefully anyone who hasn't done it yet has no problems and those that have and do have problems get them resolved quickly.

10.5.7 gave me spontaneous system crashes when running on battery power, with plenty of battery life left. To clarify: what I mean by 'spontaneous system crash' is, the machine behaves exactly as if the battery had been pulled out. Years ago I experienced similar behavior with old batteries that needed replacing. Currently, though, I actually have two young batteries that I alternate between, and the problem occurs with both batteries. I no longer have a laptop. I have a desktop.
I am sure it is not the logic board-- everything was fine until immediately after 10.5.7 upgrade. I bet that this is related to older logic boards, though-- I have the first intel MBP that came out. I have seen two people posting on discussions here saying that logic board replacements fixed their apparently identical problems. Perhaps these posters' logic board fixes happened because the upgrade replaced the older board with a more modern board that is not susceptible to the bug.
I will be downgrading to 10.5.6 ASAP, and I am not happy about it. Time machine is no help, because you can't revert the OS only, you have to lose all new data created after the system update.
It appears from the various postings here that upgrading to 10.5.7 is a kind of russian roulette. Many people (perhaps even most) have no problems, but then there are others (like me) who experience catastrophic problems. I would say to those who are considering the upgrade: are you feeling lucky?

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

  • I have an ipod touch. previously when i did not update it it used to download skype and kik messenger but now when i have updated it it wont download any od them. i have 4.2.1 software at the moment. im really confused, what might be the problem here?

    Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

  • 10.4.6 update permissions problems

    Anyone know how to solve the permissions problems from the 10.4.6 update. For some reason after doing the update we can read only from our servers and they have a little lock icon next to them!!
    after searching the net a bit i know other people are having the same problems but cannot find a cure,
    anyone know???? help help
    cheers

    Same problem here.... Luckily--and it was pure dumb luck on my part--I only updated two computers before catching this problem.
    I'm curious if you've found any resolution to the problem? If so, could you post it here? If not, I'll post anything I manage to find....

  • SQL Server 2005 Update mechanism problem

    Hi Gurus,
          We're faced with one SQL Server 2005 update mechanism problem. Here is my problem:
          According to our requirement, an add_on interface program is designed to execute creation of production order by calling Bapi.
          There are 3 steps in this add_on program:
          Step 1: Create production order
          Step 2: Change the information of production.
          Step 3: Some other
          After the step 1 has finished immediately step 2 is called, Howerver the information which should have inserted into database table couldn't be found from database. (Maybe because the time between two steps is too short to finish inserting)
          In order to ensure the complete of the transaction, before the step 2 executed, the information in step 1 should have inserted into database.
           Is there any solution to solve this problem?
           I guess whether there is any parameter which control the time of writing buffer into database...
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Derek Yang

  • Update/Insert Problem with Oracle Warehouse Builder

    Hello,
    i have update/insert problem with owb.
    Situation: I have a source-table called s_account and a target table called w_account_d. In the target table are already data which was filled trough the source table inserts. Now anyone make changes on data on the target table. This changes should now give further on the source table with an update operation. But exactly here is the problem i can´t map back the data to source because that will create a loop.
    My idea was to set a trigger but i can´t find this component in owb or is anywhere hidden?
    Also i have already seen properties as CDC or conditonal loading in the property inspector of the table, but i have no idea how it works.
    Give it other possibilities to modeling this case? or can anyone me explain how i can implement this eventually with CDC?
    I look forward for your replies :)

    Hi
    thanks for your answer. I follow your suggestion and have set the constraints of both tables into the database directly.Nevertheless it doesn´t work to begin. In the next step i found by right click on a table the listpoint "configure" - I goes to "unique key" --> creation method and set here follow options: Constraint State = ENABLE, Constraint Validation = Validate. That error message that appears before by the deployment disappears yet. Now i start the job to test if the insert/update process works right. Finally it seems to work - but not really.
    My Testscenario
    1. Load the data from source table about the staging area to data warehouse table: Check - it works!
    2. Change one data record in source table
    3. Load the source table with changed data record once again to staging area: Check - it works!
    4. Load new staging area table with the changed data record to data warehouse table: Check it works! BUT, BUT i can not recognize if it is insert or update operation, then under the design window by jobs execution windows is reported "rows selected 98", Rows inserted" is empty and "rows updated" is empty. So i think works not correct, then my opinion if it works correct it should show be "rows updated" 1.
    What can yet now still be wrong or forgotten? Any ideas?
    *By the way think not 98 rows there is not important if you make an update or insert which performance. It is an example table the right tables have million of records.*
    I look forward for your answers :)

  • TS1398 Turn the wifi on and off? I think I have a serious problem here. I cannot even press the on and off because its not available (the color is grey not black). I think this is why Apple is constantly losing a buyer and user. Slow action.

    What is the problem here Apple? Please hear us. I turned on my Wifi and then turned it off after use. After that I noticed something strange because I cannot turn on the wifi button anymore. I have restarted the phone several times, and turn it on after 10 mins, sometimes 30 min - 1 Hr. but then again its not working. I encountered this problem after updating my iOS to 6.1.2! Please hear us. If you wanted to penetrate to the market please love your consumers. Your products are great but your actions to their(US, CONSUMERS)  problems in terms of bugs fixes and battery life is so slow. Why is that?

    Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

    If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

  • Snow Leopard and Java update 14 problem

    Please could you help me solving this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have exactly the same problem here in Austria, some friends of mine too.
    So its pretty sure that the bug is on Apples server site not on our machines.

  • Numerous system log errors such as: "kernel[0]: ... dyld_shared_cache_x86_64': owned by uid=89 instead of 0" ... what is the underlying problem here?

    My system.log shows numerous errors such as: "kernel[0]: ... dyld_shared_cache_x86_64': owned by uid=89 instead of 0" ...
    What is the underlying problem here?

    Are you trying to install anything by any chance??
    update_dyld_shared_cache ensures that dyld's shared cache is up-to-date. This tool is normally only run by Apple's Installer and Software Update, as they are the only official ways for OS dylibs to be updated. But if for some reason you used another mechanism to alter an OS dylib, you should manually run update_dyld_shared_cache.

  • Update rule problem - Urgent pls???

    Hi friends,
    Below is the code i used in my start routine of the update rule.
    Here im sorting the values and then for calday field im filling with the value if it is empty.
    eg:
    rec1>ord001>25.06.2006-->val1
    rec2>ord001>          -->val1
    in the second record im filling with date of the previous record.
    This logic is working fine.If i give any one order number.
    If i load all the values,it is not updating.
    I think this rule is not getting applied for all the datapackets..(something like that-any problem with looping???)
    Awaiting for your valuable suggestion asap..
    Thanks&Regards
    Ragu
    $$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line  -
    TABLES: /BIC/AZPP_O200.
    DATA:   zpp02 like /bic/azpp_O200 occurs 0 with header line,
            mcalday like sy-datum.
    Clear : ZPP02[],
              ZPP02,
              mcalday.
      SORT DATA_PACKAGE BY PRODORDER ASCENDING
                           COMPONENT ASCENDING
                           CALDAY    DESCENDING.
    Loop At DATA_PACKAGE.
             if DATA_PACKAGE-CALDAY ne '00000000'.
                mCalDay = DATA_PACKAGE-CalDay.
             else.
                DATA_PACKAGE-CALDAY = mCALDAY.
                MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE INDEX SY-TABIX.
                clear : mCalday.
             endif.
          EndLoop.

    I think that the metter happens when the first record is in a datapackage and the second in next one.
    In that case you have the matter.
    The only way you can do this right is managing data directly in PSA table befor loading.
    Also if you have two record with DATA_PACKAGE-CALDAY = '00000000' the secon is filled with '' because fo the clear.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards

  • Update rule problem - validation of "sales/cost w/ tax" keyfigure

    BW Gurus,
        Hi to all, i have this update rule problem at "sales/cost w/tax" keyfigure here is the senario.
        Our Goverment mandatory implemented an additional 2% tax from the original 10%, this will affect our report on sales, and also the BW "sales/cost w/ tax" key figure.
        My question is How can I validated the effectivity of the new tax? i have tax 10% from previous sales and 12% on the current sales. What "date field" can I use to validated this. I am using /BIC/CS2LIS_13_VDITM stucture to get the data i need.
    Thanks in Advance
    Joven

    Hi,
    Till to day how are extracting the data for tax(original 10%) is it available directly in 2LIS_13_VDITM ?
    Usually all taxes( condition types) can be extracted by the data source 2LIS_13_VDKON.Discuss with SD team, they may give the condition type used for different taxes.
    With rgds,

  • IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

    latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

    Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events.  I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period.  I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
    Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time.  (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
    This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
    The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
    This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
    I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
    As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
    Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
    Any comments welcome

  • IOS 5 problems [reply all problems HERE]

    Please reply all iOS 5 problems here so Apple can read them and fix.
    my iOS 5 problem is that I can't listen my music on iphone.
    when i click play nothing happens.

    Yesterday, I wanted to update both my iPhone 4 and our iPad to ios 5 and boy this turned out to be a 5 hour affair with only the iPhone successfully installed. Initially, I had to update my iTunes to 10.5 which requested a PC reboot. Coincidentally Microsoft also had 8 updates requiring installation when I rebooted - already 45 mins lost. With iTunes 10.5 successfully installed, we then proceeded to install ios 5 on the iPad. The software downloaded OK (700MB plus and lots of activity on the Apple servers), the download speeds were slow. OK, an hour later and now ready to install, except there was an error after error after ........error message, all completely meaningless and then something about not being able to make contact with the Apple servers to verify ..... whatever.
    Against my better judgement, now tried to install ios 5 on my iPhone 4. And again, the 700MB download (another 60 mins), backup of the iPhone and then installation and then for some reason the restore was interrupted/continued three to four times. Sometimes the Apple device lost connection with my laptop (was the cable faulty? Never before...., sometimes an uninitiated reboot was required (and not requested) to keep things moving along.
    Apple, are you there? What went wrong? We're just as devasted as you all are that Steve is no longer around but is this a tribute? This kind of performance is what Microsoft provided a decade ago! Is this good enough?
    A slightly less Apple enthusiast today!
