10.5.7 - Why do so many people have issues updating?

I have never had a single issue updating. I have never had to repair disk permission or anything like that, and every single update always goes without a hitch. I don't get it, are we this paranoid?
I understand you should back up just in case anything happens, but anything else is unnecessary, imo.

Strange... I experienced the same problems.
The update won't load because of a wrong signature or something. So, I went online to get the combo pack and the reboot got stuck on a blue screen loop for eight minutes... I killed the macbook with the power button and fire up after.
I noticed it didn't appreciate my harsh shut since it got stuck two or three times with a gray screen and start back from the beginning each time.
I've just checked, my printer's also gone. I wonder why. U_u
Blue screens. Things missing. This reminds me of something... What went south at Cupetino ? >_<

Since no one here can possibly know what you specifically mean by "tried everything that other people are saying", no one can determine what you did wrong. Also, you didn't say what computer OS you use.
Read and follow ALL recomendations in the following aritcle appropriat for your computer:

Have you officially joined BPX? How many people have you invited?

For those who are watching the Business Process Expert "general discussion" forum:
The first question is: Have you officially joined the BPX Community here? 
If so, thank you. You are one of the 8,328 people who have already joined in only the first four weeks of this community being available. Note, too, that we're still in "sneak preview" mode so we haven't even done any announcements or awareness campaigns! You're in on the "ground floor" with visionaries and leaders.
If you're not an official member yet, please join ... just go to the top of the page in the header under "Profile Management," see the category for "Update Profile," and check the box at the very bottom of that page that says "I would like to join the new Business Process Expert (BPX) Community." Of course it's free and you get the benefits of posting forum questions and answers, blogging, etc. etc.
Please also sign-up for the newsletter while you're already on that page. More than 100,000 people already subscribe and find it valuable. We send a newsletter approximately every two weeks to highlight just a few of the new items and topics -- mostly as a reminder to return to the online community area(s) if you're not already in the good habit of doing so.
Second question is: How many people have you referred to this new community with the recommendation to join?
If you've invited at least three people who have joined, then "thank you!" If they are new members of BPX and SDN (and if they used your name/email as a referrer when they joined), then you received award points as our thanks.
If you haven't yet invited at least three colleagues to join, please do so. We think it'll help them in their jobs and careers, and we think it'll help you in your work with them (they're smarter, better informed, on the same page with their colleagues -- including you...).
Thank you for your membership, participation, and for spreading the word.

I have had numerous issues. Originally, I couldn't get video to work at all in Leopard (worked fine in Tiger). I just recently did all of the following things:
Set QT STreaming to 1.5
Set bandwidth (in iChat) to 500kbps (Comcast)
Deleted iChat prefs and ichatagent prefs
Set parallels network to "host only" (was on shared)
Reset PRAM
Reset security port to 443 (in iChat prefs, server settings)
Restart iChat (obviously)
Right now, all of my buddies are currently offline, but I did test with apple's auto-bots and interestingly, I'm getting video to work with appleu3test01 and appleu3test03, but I get the same connection problem as before with appleu3test02 ("There was a communication error during your chat"). I'm curious what's different about this bot's settings. I'll report more when I get to test with a real person.

Can I see how many people have visisted my MobileMe Personal Domain

I've set up a website using iWeb and it's been published in my personal domain using MobileMe, is there anyway of checking how many people have visited it?

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

TS2370 My iPhone detects my my Belkin G5 series wifi router but not connecting, I searched in internet and found many people have similar experience. Please tell , how can I fix it?.

My iPhone detects my my Belkin G5 series wifi router but not connecting, I searched in internet and found many people have similar experience. Please tell , how can I fix it?.

Try rebooting the router. Just remove the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost.

Wonder how many people have left.

Any stats? I would be curious how many people have left these forums. How are they doing? ;)

It would be my guess Adobe wanted the oldies to disappear. I could draw no other conclusion.
The disappearance of the good old regulars – including a couple of major stalwarts in the last few days – is only a by-product of the adobe desire to promote thier own idea of a "community" which, as we know, is a carry-over from an earlier system and has now been extended to things like product Help pages as well as these forums.
This "community" with its silly titles and misleading points system has alienated the true community of regular volunteer helpers from the industry, to the extent that, in my estimation, only about 10% of those people remain. Those that have left have not been replaced and never will.
Their contributions, and the valuable discussions which they stimulated, will be sorely missed by those who come to the forums for help and to learn. What remains is a pathetic rump.
The misguided management style of adobe has lost them an asset which had cost them nothing and was worth millions.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BOUGH THE VIDEO IPOD AT BEST BUY?

Have many people have bought their new ipod videos at best buy and how is their return policy and everything etc.....

I would strongly recommend the warranty (3 year not 2). It has the following:
-COMPLETE coverage of any failure due to wear and tear (suggesting that if the screen becomes so scratched that it interferes with usability and therefore the unctionality, in theory, they should replace it) it is also stated that it protects faults in MATERIALS (the casing). The screen being scrathed is also the casing not the screen, since the screen it under the casing, so the scrathing could also be attached to this clause, justifying replacement.
-Power Surge protection (unlikely, but a plus)
- it states "This plan is inclusive to the manufacturer's warranty; it does not replace the manufacturer's warranty, but provides certain additional benefits during the term of the warranty. After the Manufacturer's warranty expires this plan CONTINUES to prived the benefits of the manufacturers warranty along with additional benefits" this is the great part of it.

Why are so many people having flashpolayer problems? Mine just started---thats strange

Is it a bad upgrade? Just last week different sites started telling me they wouldnt work becasue I have no flashplayer installed. Ive tried intalling ti over and over with no results, as it says 'the download will continue after the following programs are closed---then names IE.
Went to a test site mentioned by someone in here and it says I have it installed. Why wont other sites show it, and why cant I find it on my computer? Its driving me NUTZ!

Hi, I have to remind you that you didn't answer my questions in Post#8. Any question I ask Marv is for a reason and that reason is I need the answer in order to rule out something or take it into consideration to help you.
Now what were you doing that you said this: ?
It did but then I got a popup that says 'Something went wrong trying to
install this application. Install the latest version of Adobe AIR and try
again.
When you try to solve your problem and I'm trying to get information to try to solve it, that's not working very well. Because you are doing something different. Then I have to try to figure out what new thing you've tried. Changing the goal post is confusing.
Let me know what you want to do, if you want to continue to try to fix your problem that's ok. We both can't do different things,
Thanks,

Songs disappear from itunes library - and from the harddrive - by itself. One song here and there, not entire albums. Have been surfing on the web, and can see that many people have this problem. What is the solution?

I'm deeply worried. About to digitalize my entire CD collection, but can't continue until this problem is solved, or i'll risk slowly loosing my music. Song by song. Discovered the problem while browsing the Itunes library, when I realised that for example song number 2 and 11 was missing from one album, and 4 and 7 from another album. Very strange. When browsing the when I found lots of people experiencing the same. I'm using the 2011 Macbook Pro, and the Itunes library is on the Macbook Pro harddrive.
Hope someone can help....

just want to add that i use Itunes 10.4.1. But I can see that users have problems with many versions.
I have an ipod shuffle that i connect once and a while. But the songs that are dissappearing are not the ones on the ipod as far as i can see...

Why do the preorder people have to wait?

Why do we have to wait for our phones if we preorder our phones? We should get our phones before anyone else does since we ordered first. We should be able to go to the store tomorrow and get our phones instead of having to wait until October. Will Verizon please respond to this question since they didn't respond to my other question.

Yes, this happens at Verizon, this happens at Apple. Shipments get delayed by factors out of control of Verizon/Apple. If you did your research, you KNOW this can and does happen at EVERY iPhone release. You can be upset all you want. It is not going to change your situation.
If you pre-order through Apple, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc... and your shipment is delayed, you would have the same situation. Verizon is not alone in this.
If you choose to pre-order and your shipment is delayed, you SHOULD have to wait for your pre-order unless you want to cancel your pre-order and take your chances in the store. THEN you could get shut out at the store and have to wait even longer.
mjnnc wrote:
What's the point of preordering
I say that to myself every time this comes around. Because people are impatient, they have to feel important. I have gone into stores each and every iPhone release and seen stock each and every time. Personally I DON'T see a point in pre-ordering. Seems you feel differently.

HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

How Many People Have Found An Alternative?

I'm sick and tired of this whole falure of an internet browser we call Safari. Plug-ins don't load, or can't be found, or can't be downloaded. Contents show funny, application closes for no reason at all, performance is unstable. Man, I'm sick of this browser and there isn't one updated version of Internet Explorer right now.
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Mac since before the Internet days, but it just seems the move away from IE was reaaaaally wrong. Anyone has any alternative suggestions for other Mac compatible browsers to use other than ths failure? Would greatly appreciate this.

Content failure isn't necessarily (and usually) Apple's doing. You need to look at the coding created by developers too.
Safari is very stable for me. However, I use Firefox when it comes to specific needs, e.g. viewing Yahoo video content, which thanks to Yahoo, does not work in Safari (possibly due to music and other rivalry issues with Apple).
One last thing - your tag says 10.4.3. If true, update to 10.4.6, using the combined update if you want the latest version of Safari. This is also a more stable version of OS X Tiger. Remember to repair permissions using Disk Utility once the update installation is finished.
