10.6.4 update killed my script

I have had a script that I use to delete certain Safari files or folders to keep Safari running quickly. These include the Library:Caches:Metadata:Safari:History: folder, the Library:Safari:History.plist file, the Library:Safari:Icons folder, and the Library:Safari:TopSites.plist file.
The script begins by telling Safari to quit, then it activates Finder and deletes the above files and folders if they exist. Then, the trash is emptied and that is the end of the script.
This script worked beautifully in slightly different forms under 10.4.8, 10.5, 10.6.2 and 10.6.3. When I try to use it in 10.6.4, I get "error number 0" under replies on the script. I probably should mention that I downloaded Safari 5.0 before 10.6.4 was released. The script worked well at that time. The problem with the script occurred after I installed 10.6.4. The current Safari version on my Mac Pro is Version 5.0 (6533.16). I don't know if that is the version 10.6.4 installs or if it is the original download that somehow survived the installation of 10.6.4.
I am a near-ignoramus regarding AppleScript, but I have learned to use it and to adapt the deletion scheme to fit changes in file names or locations as new system updates are installed. This time, I'm stumped. What is wrong when "error number 0" shows up in the replies?
Edit: Now I am really confused. The AppleScript works just fine. All tasks are accomplished, but the AppleScript replies still show "error number 0." What's up?

Similar issue here on my late-2008 13" unibody Macbook. I've got two routers, one running G and a TIme Capsule (1st gen) running N.
After the update, everything was fine for a couple of days, and was even working most of yesterday. Yesterday, I started having all sorts of connection issues, and went through the typical steps of resetting the routers, modem, checking channels, looking for new sources of interference, etc.
But the odd thing is that I would try to switch between routers on my Air Port, and suddenly it was asking me for my WAP passwords. When I entered them, sometimes it would take, usually it wouldn't. Air Port Utility was having trouble finding the Time Capsule as well.
At the end of the night, I could connect to the Netgear over G and get a connection, although it was showing rocking DL speeds in iStat menu of 1.2 KB/s at its max, but it simply refused to make any kind of connection over the Time Capsule over N.
This morning, I was resigned to getting up and restoring a backup to 10.6.3, but lo and behold, I'm connected to the Time Capsule over N and my speeds are normal. The Macbook wasn't rebooted, I put it to sleep before I went to bed.

MacOS X 10.4.9 Update Killed My Mac!

Today I tried to install the 10.4.9 update.
Something went wrong when installing the update and I got an error message saying that the installation was unsuccessful.
After restart my mac got stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and a wheel spinning forever.
Fortunately I fixed the issue: http://net3x.blogspot.com/2007/03/macos-x-1049-update-killed-my-mac.html

Most likely, you could have avoided this problem if
you had followed Apple’s instructions for properly
installing software updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software
updates
Note that Apple doesn’t mention anywhere the need to
repair permissions either before or after installing
a system update, not even for troubleshooting system
update issues. It’s the disk itself (i.e. the
filesystem) that should be verified/repaired
before installing anything. Note also that no
applications should be running while installing the
update and that you may experience unexpected results
if you have third-party system software modifications
(not normal applications) installed.
I have to call complete and utter BS on this. I have been a mac user for more than 3 years. I have updated the day of almost every major update since 10.3.1 and 10.4.9 is by far the most problem prone thing I have ever seen apple put out. I have never once had a single issue where my mac would not boot after the install of an update. Now I have updated both my MacBook and Intel Mac Mini and both were dead in the water after the install. A different software suite is on both systems, and there is no "intrusive" 3rd party software that should cause any trouble. Thanks to the instructions above I was able to get back on-line and running 10.4.9, but something really needs to be done about these issues.

The $ character has a special meaning in shell scripting. The shell will read it as follows:
.. from v${session}
where:
$session = environment variableAs there is no such variable the code will be parsed as follows:
.. from vAnd thus result in the following error (table/object called v does not exist):
select 'alter system kill session ' || '''' || sid || ',' || serial# || '''' || ' immediate;' from v
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Solution - escape the $ character as follows:
.. from v\$sessionIt should work...

Update user login script on specific OU matches

Hi
I need to update the login script for several hundred users. The The OUs I wish to pick the users from match:
CN=User1,OU=123 Users,OU=127,OU=Business,DC=test,DC=company,DC=co,DC=uk
CN=User1,OU=124 Users,OU=124,OU=Business,DC=test,DC=company,DC=co,DC=uk
etc.
I need a way to skip though ad picking out 123 users, 124 users, etc and replacing their login scripts. My assumption would be with a regex but would appreciate some help on the best way to do this.
Thanks

A regex for that might look like this:
'^OU=12[34] Users'
Apply it using the -match operator against the DNs of the OUs, then get the users using those as your SearchBase:
(Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter *).DistinguishedName -match '^OU=12[34] Users' |
foreach { Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $_ }
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

/dev/sda4 is my swap partition. Then I get dropped to a recovery shell which I can't use because my (usb) keyboard is not working.
Now the funny part. I start the box from a install cd and chroot into the existing installation. I do a
mkinitcpio -p linux
The initramfs is regenerated and it works again! What the hell is pacman doing other than regenerate the initramfs with my presets?

New kernel 3.1.1 did it again. My system hangs in initramfs after the reboot. Same as before: a simple rebuild without any changes fixed the boot process. This time I was able to backup the 'bad' initramfs before chrooting in and rebuilding.
it is very funny to see the content of the 'bad' initramfs image - it is nearly empty!

I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

Flash updates kills sound

I have a Mac 10.6.8 which on the last Adobe Flash update killed my sound.
I know nothing of computers - it is a glorified typewriter to me, so please advise how to remedy this in simple terms.
Technical terms are the death for me!

Hi,
Could you please let us know some more details?
Please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version and browser you use: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine
Do you mean to say you don't hear any sound at all?

Isit true to say that iPod Updater kills your iPod?

Hello all,
First, sorry for my poor English. I am not a professional nor a technician and I could be wrong, so please correct me. There are many problems reported mainly from the PC users that their iPod can't be recognized nor mounted after the installation of the latest iPod updater. Most of them claimed that the iPod updater kills their beloved iPods. Before we jump to a conclusion, we must understand what is iPod, and how does the iPod update work.
I believe that iPod equals a basic computer and need a OS in order to communicate with the PC. Installation the Updater will format the Hard disk of the iPod and then install the simple OS, so if we open the iPod updater file, it will show a window with two buttons i.e. Restore and Update, an Update is to copy the latest OS over the old version, but the Restore will format the hard disk before it install the OS over it. And importantly, during this process, the iPod needs sufficient of power to complete the upgrade, however, the problem comes just after the format, and the PC's USB (only 2 will work not 1.1) does not supply the stable power,even some cases that iPod does not get charge in the half way of installatin (a proper installation, you will see a running bar showing on the iPod screen just after the format), so you can imagine a hard disk got format but only got an uncompleted OS, of course, the iPod would not get recognized and mounted, and do not manage to communicate with the computer. At this stage the iPod will show a Sad iPod icon, a folder with exclamaiton points or a battery charging icon.
So, what would you do when it reach at this stage, a Reset would not work, and you would not able to do the Restore as the iPod is totally unrecognized by the computer.
Therefore, is there anyway to solve this problem, in my opinion and from my past experience, the answer is "yes", the simple way is to put your iPod in Disk Mode, when it plug to the computer, it will show as an external Hard Disk, you must fix it by doing a format (RESTORE would not work at this stage as it still can't recognized and mounted), in Mac we can use "Disk Utility" but the XP would not allow you to do the format in FAT32. After the formatting, replug the iPod with the computer, then it can be mounted and allow you to do the RESTORE.
In addition, I find an interesting point is, if your iPod formatted with a Mac, you will have better chance to be mounted with a PC, even your iPod does not complete the process of the installation of the iPod updater, and a PC formatted iPod will be likely to be fixed by a Mac as well.
How should we do before the update of the lastest software, for the XP user please do the following:-
1. Go to the system restore and create a check point in order to revert back to the previous version of the iPod updater, or do the back up using the 3rd party software such as Ghost or Go Back.
2. To have a test and make sure the PC's USB works properly. You can use the iPod or a PDA, and just make sure it got charged.
3. Have your iPod a full charge before the installation of the iPod updater
So, who is the main killer for the iPod?
For further infomation please read the following link - which wrote by a groups of great people - thank your guys
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ae8668

Yes, it will erase all your data with your iPod. Please do not format until you have the back up of your iPod. Very likely that your iPod was formatted by a Mac, which can't be read by your PC. Download a software called Xplay

Please help: 10.4.3 update KILLED iCal

After updating to 10.4.3 all my iCal data was gone. I restored it using Backup and when I launched iCal it all appeared as normal—and then a few seconds later, poof, it all disappeared again right before my eyes. I tried making a new entry and at first it didn't seem to work, then all my iCal data reappeared for a few seconds, only to disappear again a few seconds later, leaving iCal "virgin" as if no entry had ever been made. If I quit and reopen iCal, I can again briefly see the calendars before they disappear.
The current iCal version is 2.0.3. I have tried erasing preferences and starting over again to no avail, as well as logging in with the shift key down. I have also repaired the disk and the permissions with no improvement.
Any suggestions anyone? Is it possible to reinstall just iCal? I really really don't want to have to do a complete system reinstall because of this stupid bug.

I don't believe the 10.4.3 Update killed iCal and if a bug, it must be selective since I didn't experience the same and I haven't seen the same reported here in large numbers.
What is your hard drive capacity and available free space?

Firefox 22 keeps crashing after I updated it. Scripts keep freezing. I also updated shockwave, etc. (addons). Did not have this issue before updating.

After the latest FF update every page seems to freeze up and I get script error pop ups that cause the FF browser to hang forever. Only happened after updating FF and shockwave, I have had to disable shockwave flash which seems to fix the problem, but I can't watch videos. I had to add the NoScript addon just to see browser pages... not very good as it kills pretty much everything. Also I noticed that the newest version of java deployment kit has been rendered UNSAFE by FF. Why, and what to do about that issue also? Thanks.

The combination of a recent Windows update and the Flash player plugin's protected mode caused pages to hang for me with the eventual script error.
* You can disable protected mode following the steps in this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

ITunes 10.7 update kills wifi on Win7

I've fixed a problem I was having and hope that maybe this thread helps someone else having a similar issue.
My computer has Win7 with all the updates as I do updates religiously as soon as I'm notified there's something to install.
My wifi connection stopped working after each attempt to update iTunes 10.6 to 10.7. The issue took me several days to finally figure out how to fix the problem. Let me re-state that sentence. My problem is fixed and I know what I did that fixed it, but I don't know if the problem itself came from a software program called Audials One 9 interfering with iTunes but my fix makes it seem like that's the case. So here goes.
I've been using iTunes for many years now and I learned about Audials One 9 several months ago. I purchased and installed Audials One 9 and although I wasn't enamored with it, I left it installed and until now, I completely forgot about it.
Several weeks ago when iTunes 10.7 was released, I attempted updating iTunes it from 10.6 and multiple times, the upgrade was unsuccessful. During the upgrade process, my wifi connection to the internet would stop working so for the first time ever, I had to learn how to use Windows Restore Point. Thankfully, that feature works quite well. (One installation attempt actually resulted in the BSOD - blue screen of death!)
The issues I was having during the iTunes upgrade, disabled Wifi connectivity to the Internet. I could see my router from my computer, but I couldn't get an internet connection. I tried my Wifi hotspot just to see if it was a router issue and I saw the same problem so I basically confirmed the router was fine and I didn't have to go through an inconvenient power-down and re-set of the router.
I decided to uninstall iTunes and since I know that the uninstallation process can also get botched up, I went to the Apple site to find the iTunes uninstall instructions to verify what I needed to uninstall. It turns out, there is a sequence for unstalling the entire iTunes suite. I'm not sure what to call it, but you can find the list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and a better explanation than what I'm writing.
During the installation process, I stumbled upon another link on the Apple site that indicated that iTunes might not be the only culprit to the Wifi connectivity issue on the Apple site. You can find that information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717 for 'iTunes for Win Vista or Win 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues'. Information found on this second Apple support link explains how to get iTunes to go into Safe Mode so you can troubleshoot any interference caused by plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple. I almost skipped reading this section but thankfully I did not. Reading this section triggered me remembering that I had purchased Audials and that I had also used Rinse to help fix missing artwork. I had since uninstalled Rinse many months ago because it completely messed up my artwork and I had to spend almost 2 days fixing the errors that program caused, but, I hadn't uninstalled Audials so I proceeded to uninstall Audials along with uninstalling iTunes 10.6.
Next, I went ahead and installed Windows Updates as I always keep my machine up to date with Windows Updates but since I had used Restore Point earlier in the day, I had a few updates I had to install to get back up to date on Windows updates. The Update session generated a new Restore Point which I was thankful for since Wifi was working like it should.
After the reboot which follows at the end of the Windows Update process, I downloaded iTunes 10.7 and installed it. All the while, crossing my fingers and holding my breath. I have a lot of purchases through iTunes that have accumulated over the years and I was at wits end with this issue already but, GREAT NEWS! The iTunes 7 installation went flawlessly. As soon as I opened iTunes, my library was in tact, all artwork was as it should be and the iTunes Store log-in worked fine too.
I post this information here because of the potential that someone in the user community finds this thread helpful.

"The feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package \iTunes.msi in the box below."
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

10.5.8 updated killed Write/Update permissions on my Boot camp partition.

I can't figure this one out. I regularly "reach over" to my boot camp partition to move files from XP to my mac, and have automator scripts that also do that. Since the update, it no longer works either manually or via automator. I can read and copy stuff, but not move or delete. I've tried disk utilities, permission fixing, re-running the update with the combo updater instead of the "normal" way, and even reinstalling the OS and re-applying the patches, but its still broken. Kind of a hassle. Not sure what to try next. I've also run chkdsk from XP.

Still broken on 10.5.8, but 10.6 fixed it

Acrobat X Update "killed" Acrobat 9

Our prepress department uses Acrobat 9 Pro with the Pitstop plug-in to process files. A co-worker working in Windows noticed that he had an update available -- for Acrobat X -- so he went ahead and let it update. (I'll note here that we are in the habit of having multiple versions available, so he assumed he could still use the Acrobat 9 workhorse as needed.)
He's not happy with X's user interface (and his Pitstop plug-in lives in version 9), so he tried opening files back in version 9. Now suddenly he finds that he cannot run Acrobat 9 at all. Even if he selects it directly. PDFs now open exclusively in version X.
Is there an "uninstaller" for Acrobat X, and if he runs it, will it break anything else? Will he have to reinstall Acrobat 9 and Pitstop?

I zip back and forth between versions, so it can be done with a bit of patience and luck. What you have to give up the idea of is that double-click-to-open is any use to you any more. You need to use File > Open or similar.
Try
1. Reboot
2. Use task manager to make sure no Acrobat.exe is running
3. Try starting Acrobat 9.
4. Still starts X? Kill it, repeat step 2, and navigate to the acrobat.exe file for v9 and run that.
5. Still starts X? Right click, properties, check version. Maybe someone/something actually overwrote the app.
But always remember once you have it working that it is "unsupported" and what that really means. (It is NOT a statement that it never works.)

Updating using java script and jQuery

Is it possible using javascript and jQuery to update the two forms of this page, in tandem as the fields change? http://www.milesmemorials.com/product-GH54.html As you can see there are two forms, the first holds all the element choices and has an 'add to basket' button, the other after clicking 'proceed to proof' shows and gathers name, tel, email and all other fields from first form (which will be 'hidden' once this problem is resolved) all that will show will be name, tel and email. Currently what happens is choices are made, the proof button is clicked but if a selection is then changed the duplicate elements in form2 are not updated unless the proof button is clicked back and then clicked again. This can result in incorrect information being submitted. So going back to my original question, Is it possible using javascript and jQuery to update the two forms in tandem as the fields change?
Any help really appreciated!!

Thank you for your post. I think thats just what im looking for. So this is one of my form elements -
<select name="colour" class="productButton"id="colour">
        <option selected value="0">-- Select colour --</option>
        <option value="2442">Galaxy black granite (£2442)</option>
        <option value="2134">Black granite (£2134)</option>
      </select>
and i need to make this form field update when the element above is changed -
<input name="colour2" id="colour2" type="text" />
What do i need to change on this javascript to make this function work?
<script> $( "select" )
.change(function () {
    var str = "";
    $( "select option:selected" ).each(function() {
      str += $( this ).text() + " ";
    $( "div" ).text( str );
.change();
</script>
