10.6.4 is problematic!  Need fix NOW!!!

I recently updated the latest update for the Mac OS and now my fast computer is sluggish to put it mildly. First, during start up it takes nearly 2 minutes. I kid you not. Then once it was up and running the mouse never showed up. I had to unplug and re-plug it multiple times and reboot before it came back. I also have 2 external HD's 1 for transport and 1 for storage and now when I try and update the firmware to those drives they can't be found even though one or both are hooked up and I can use them as normal. Also, when I put the machine to sleep it takes quite a while to actually shut down.
These issues were never happening before the latest OS update. Please send fix ASAP!! Anyone else having similar issues or there problems since the newest update?

Antonio gave the link for restoring from the Time Machine backup, but you didn't state which kind, if any, you had. If something made by Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, their documentation describes how to restore.

  • PlugIn Container NEEDS Fixing NOW. It's Useless!

    I am NOT the only one fed up with this, but Mozilla still does NOTHING! *MY* newest problem with PIC.exe is that every time I run Firefox, I have TWO instances of PIC running in my Task Mgr! Can't they go back to about 2 years ago before all this happened and start over????

    my firefox info: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
    Sometimes when I put up multiple tabs that require plugins (like playing videos, flash files, etc.) an error message for plugin-container.exe pops up and all firefox windows/tabs closes. But I am still able to recover them, having to reload all contents.
    How can I prevent this from happening? please reply, I hope a helpful person or mozilla staff sees this

    I have the same problem. I've been having this problem since 3.6 update. Everytime I have multiple tabs my plugin container for firefox.exe sometimes crashes but i found out why. it sucks up so much of my memory and CPU. When my memory and CPU gets so high I have to use task manager to end process but when I do firefox runs much faster than before but still uses a little bit too much of my CPU and memory. But when I try to play videos, open new website (With ads and video clips) it happens again by using too much of my CPU and Memory. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-S460 with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 seriess, 2GB RAM, 80GB, 1.73 Intel Centrino M and I have Windows XP Home. When I had XP Home.. the Plugin Container in firefox did the same stupid thing, then I upgraded to XP Pro and same thing again, now I am using Windows 7 Pro and only happens sometimes if i am using multiple tabs. I am so fed up with the plugin container.. Opera seems to be doing good with no crashes or slow process when i use multiple tabs but it is only slows once in a while though. But I am a loyal Firefox fan. I love Firefox but i can't stand this plugin.. its so annoying.. isn't there anyway to reduce it? If not then I guess I need to buy a new laptop and hope for the better.

    Unfortunately I don't have a solution but I'm another one with this same problem so am posting this in the hope Mozilla notice and address this issue. I've got a relatively old laptop running XP pro but never had problems with older versions of firefox - which I much prefer to IE. Hopefully Mozilla are counjuring up a solution but I'm a bit disappointed they did not fully test 'container.exe' in the first place. Does anybody know if a solution is being worked on and if/when it will be released?

    -There are so many posts (including this one) bumming about this problem with the only advice being DISABLE IT! I have windows7 64 intel7 4GB ram W/ 4 more external. If I have this much power+memory and this still happens-WTF? Why is the container so crappy the only solution is to disable it? I archived the message and say-FIX THIS FIREFOX or tell us how!

    I've also noted a lot of bugs since 3.6. After the last Adobe Flash upgrade I've noticed a lot more problems, also. The frozen screen with the "not responding" thing is driving me nuts. This was a biggie after the upgrade to 3.6

    Can I just add my dissatisfaction with plug-in container.exe. Off now to see how to disable it. I've been using Firefox for almost seven years now, but it's starting to feel as if it's time to move on. Plug-in Container seems to make it much more resource-hungry and often I have to close it, close it again in Task Manager and then open it again to get any speed back.

    Your Spybot Search & Destroy didn't create a restore or backup file before making the changes? You can download a new copy as "madperson" suggested or try to locate the backup file using the information below. Your choice.
    When you do a "Fix selected problems" after a "Check for problems" by default Spybot creates backups of the fixed problems to facilitate recovery. These backups (recovery files) for Spybot-S&D By default are stored in one of the following directories:
    Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
    ''C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Recovery''
    The recovery files themselves are stored in password protected zipped folders within the Recovery directory.

  • Most annoying "bugs" that need fixed NOW!

    I installed Safari 3 beta and at first I loved it until a few things started to annoy me. First, when I maximize browser window, minimize it, and then restore it again, it automatically resizes to a smaller window. Also there is no other way to minimize the browser window other than clicking the minus sign on the upper right corner of browser window. I prefer to minimize by clicking the window title in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. Those minor bugs forced me to uninstall as I could not take it anymore. I happily went back to using IE7 as my default browser. However, I would prefer to use Safari 3 for Windows if those bugs are fixed! Until those issues are fixed, IE7 r0xx0rs my b0xx0rs!1!!!11!1

    I'm so glad to finally hear someone confirm the problem with bus/auxes and control surfaces. I was beginning to think it was just me.
    i'll add that packing a folder with multiple tracks and then unpacking it will duplicate the tracks.
    also weird redraws just on scrolling through the mixer (example the 'EQ' text goes off center.

    Hi johnd83157268,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
    You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
    Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
    Try again and then let me know.
    Regards,

  • Things IMHO needing Fixing

    The following IMHO need fixing at the time of this post. All website references are from UK, in case elsewhere is different
    Fron page is as URL redirection from http://certification.oracle.com
    1) Beta Testing Available for Oracle 11g R2: Grid Infrastructure and RAC Administration Exam advertised on front page when beta is no longer available.
    2) FAQ's again difficult to reach from front page ... one needs to hunt for these (Though perhaps reasonable obvious in Preparation/FAQ's).
    ---- This needs to be checked each time page is changed and should be aded to page test list.
    3) The link to Oracle certification report IMHO needs to be directly available rather that finding something elsse that has a link to it.
    ( [email protected] )
    ---- This needs to be checked each time page is changed and should be aded to page test list.
    4) See Service request: 21535083
    ..... A certified person purporting to work for Oracle Saudi Arabia has been advocating braindumps to users on another forum (post now removed by moderator). He has also advocating braindumps 3 years ago. details on service request. Also reported to OCPfraud. Recommend check this is handled appropriately and it is auditted it is handled appropriately (may of coursse simply not be an Oracle employee/subbie).
    5) Service request form:
    This seems to blow out with a character buffer too small PL/SQL error if too much (and it isn;t a lot really) information submitted (or maybe it had a glitch yesterday that cleared today). I submitted same info in 2 posts links service request to get round it.
    6) Service request: 21313293 ... seems to have not removed the braindump reference from the post! Recommend discuss with moderator on {forum:id=923} with regard to this.

    What (3) meant to say that I could only find the link to raise a (certification) service request by going to indirect places I suspect it existed. From The main certification web site( or the FAQs) there was no obvious link to the page to raise a serice request.
    The (( [email protected] )) email was for reporting the person mentioned in (4) as he has microsoft certifications also. A bad post edt on my part.

  • My macbook air power cord glows orange vrs green what needs fixed?

    my macbook air power cord glows orange vrs green what needs fixed? the battery is not charging now, but the power connector glows green briefly and then goes to a steady orange. is this a power cord issue, a battery issue?
    thanks

    The orange LED indicates that the battery is in the process of being charged.  Depending upon how depleted the battery is, it might take 4 hours to completely recharge.

    Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.

    Trying to purchase on itunes, my card was declined.  Called bank, they said it is fixed now.  Card is still declined and I can't update my account.  what shall I do? iTunes says contact customer support.  is this it?

    I also have this problem. I have a debit card & I even verified every single piece of info with my bank on the phone, online, AND in writing...it's clearly an issue with itunes and I can't get anyone on the phone without a hefty charge to my account.

  • Ipod Classic says it needs fixing when connected. Won't connect in disk mode

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick and attempted to sync my ipod classic 160gb for the first time in about 5 years. However my laptop froze not long after it started and I had to restart the laptop.
    Today I've tried syncing it again but every time I plug it in it says it needs fixing. I tell it to fix it but either it does nothing, or tells me it can't be fixed as another program is using it (even though all other windows are closed). I've tried restarting it by holding down the select and menu buttons but that didn't help at all. I then put it into disk mode as I read I could then select it in itunes and restart it. It just says 'ok to disconnect' and won't go to 'do not disconnect' or show up in itunes, and sometimes comes up that it needs to be fixed but can't as the disk can't be found.
    The iPod itself still seems to be perfectly usable, and has all my old music on it.
    I've looked at loads of things on google but none of it helps.

    I've just added all my music to a new memory stick...
    How is the "new memory stick" related to this problem?  Does it have ALL of your music, including the music that is currently on the iPod?
    Do you use a Windows PC or a Mac?
    Is the latest version of iTunes installed, or do you use an older version?

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer for syncing etc?

    All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer?

    Only you can make that decision. If you say that all of your computer needs are met, then you have answered the question yourself.
    I would never rely totally on iCloud for backups. I want more control than what Apple has to offer with iCloud and I don't want to have to pay for the storage that I need as the content on my iPad continues to grow. I realize that I had to buy the computer, as well, but I can backup my iPad to iTunes, backup my iTunes library with Time Machine and backup other files with another external drive that I have connected to my MacBook Pro.
    I just don't trust all of my content being in the cloud or in Aplple's servers. Just a matter of choice.
