10.6.5 update causing problems/issues

Updated with the 'software update' app to 10.6.5 yesterday and immediately started having random instant shutdowns (as if all power was lost). Trying to restart would sometimes not even get thru the startup sound before it shut off again. Sometimes it would manage to boot and then shutdown. It's up and running now but the fans are running at full speed. This problem is also random and apparently unprovoked. Well done again Apple for screwing my machine - now I dare not trust it as a control machine for my work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried the usual PRAM reset, permission repair, disk check etc.

Have been experiencing intermittent keyboard, trackpad and usb mouse function issues after installing the latest system and itunes updates, which was yesterday or day before.
(Lost even some work because the only way to get things moving was to restart.)
Tried solution (verify and repair disc permissions) that coconutmunk recommends under similar topic from 2007:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210
That solution fixed worst part of the problem: getting all 3 parts irresponsive.
It seems as problem is still not entirely solved as computer has once tried to lock all 3 again, however before I had chance to get concerned it locked up all 3 again by itself.
Yet, usb mouse keeps on getting disconnected every now and then randomly, even after 2 runs with disc permission solution.
By the way, I don't think reinstallation of entire system would be reasonable step, neither would it solve anything as you would still reinstall that very same update.
Conclusion from 2007topics, where people had issues with keyboards and/or mouse devices, was that it was Leopard system having those problems, nothing like that was reported in about Tiger system, as it seems.
Now, those problems were fixed back then with an update, but seems this latest update has brought back old issues!
Frankly, I really do not have time with computer issues, on top of Maya being characteristically moody already every now and then, as I have to be done with a pretty big project only within few days!
Please PLEASE, Apple crew, fix this issue asap!
I really need those things working properly quick!
Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] wxpython update cause problems for playonlinux

After a recent update, playonlinux seems to get stuck in an endless loop during startup. The output in terminal is this:

This just keeps repeating until I end the process with Ctrl-c
The specific update that cause this is:
wxgtk
wxpython
wxgtk2.8
The wxgtk2.8 package was newly installed as certain packages require this version. Just to make sure, I removed wxgtk2.8, and downgraded wxgtk and wxpython, then playonlinux works without issue. Upgrading the system again causes this issue to appear again.
Edit: wxgtk upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-5 -> 3.0.0-2, and wxpython upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-4 -> 3.0.0.0-1
I have narrowed down the problem. Downgrading only wxpython to version 2.8.12.1-4 solves the problem.

I'm on wxpython 3.0.0-2 and I'm still getting this issue, both on wxgtk 2.8.12.1-5 and 3.0.0-2.
And it might help to know that playonlinux depends on the package "wxgtk2.8" rather than wxgtk (and also wxpython2.8), which I can't install without borking my system and don't want to anyway because I use wxMupen64Plus, so I installed every other dep and -Sdd'd it.
EDIT: Scratch that, my error is actually similar but not the same:
Looking for python... 3.3.3 - skipped
Looking for python2.7... 2.7.6 - selected
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mainwindow.py", line 32, in <module>
wxversion.select('2.8')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 152, in select
raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found
And it has the exact same output for either version of wxgtk. I'd test it on wxpython2.8, but that depends on wxgtk2.8, which I can't install without either uninstalling important packages like audacity or forcing conflict overwriting. It also loops this error forever until I CTRL+C.

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

Pages update causes problems?

Since April's update I have had problems with Pages. Templates keep opening with the 'cannot find font' message even though the font is activated. Since I use Font Explorer to manage fonts I tried moving the fonts into the system folder/font folder. Pages still could not find them. After deleting Pages and Keynote and reinstalling them from my CD all is happy again.
My impression is that the update caused the problems. Anybody else experiencing this?
Kurt

Hullo Kurt:
Glad you got it sorted. Didn't think it would help you much without further insight - but I had no trouble with the update either. One of those things you had to persevere with on the system you know to fix.
I recall that when I first installed OsX, there was a font collection called "Classic." It was not of fonts the designers call "classic", so I assume it was carried over from Os9, even though I hadn't installed that.
You can collate whatever collections you want from Pages, as you know: just so long as they go into the User or System Library fonts. I don't know how it is with Font Explorer, but with Font Book I find the safest way of resolving duplicates so they don't keep reappearing is to "resolve duplicates" first for any black-dotted fonts, then scan for the greyed out versions where they appear. These can be safely "removed" via Font Book.
This way Pages can choose which copy of a font it doesn't need.
BTW I've just updated to OsX 10.4.7. Can't put it on my profile yet. But it reproduces type throughout the system, and especially in Pages, even more snappily than before, and is said to improve Font Book's handling - as well as some PDF problems.
Be interesting to see whether those are the ones that members have had trouble with. MacFixit suggests that this system update can cause problems with various duplicate files, but I started with a clean computer, left it alone for the update, and did a Safe Boot to see what that cleaned out before I bothered with all that, and then I found no need for it. Routine maintenance did turn up quite a few permissions to be repaired though.
OTOH, if the system details on your profile are right, you might do better to look for a combo update on Mac Downloads to be sure you get it all stitched.
Cheers.
Mac OsX 10.4.7, never mind what it says under here.

Outlook 2010 Kb2956128 Update Causing Authentication Issue

After installing 2/10/15 [kb2956128] update for outlook 2010 desktop client, I got a popup requesting my password for outlook / exchange account. No matter how many times I put it in the password the popup comes back with a new request. I've
logged in to my exchange account via OWA and with my phone without an issue. When I remove the [kb2956128] update the problem goes away. Any suggestions or thought would be helpful.

Hi,
How about manually canceling the credential window, can Outlook still send/receive emails properly?
For this kind of credential issues, I would first try creating another Outlook profile and test if the issue persists.
Thanks,

4.7.2.5 Camera update causing problems on 1020

Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest Nokia Camera update? Here's what I'm running into:
-OneDrive integration isn't functioning correctly. I have my 1020 set to auto-upload at best quality. If I take a picture while connected to my WiFi network, I can't reframe pictures. It usually crashes the app, or the reframe doesn't save. I think it's because OneDrive locks the file down, but this wasn't an issue before the update.
-More OneDrive problems: Since the update, OneDrive is uploading the 34/38MP version of the file, NOT the 5MP copy. Before the update, the 5MP files went to OneDrive and the 34MP files stayed on the phone.
I think there's some inconsistent behavior with Camera and the Photos app. You can't go from the Camera to the Gallery correctly anymore, and I'm not sure if this is part of the problem?
I'm asking for help, but I don't think anything can be done until the app is updated again. Is there a way to revert to the previous version of Nokia Camera?
Running 8.1 preview, BTW.

No, I had 8.1 on the phone prior to that, it wasn't until the 4.7.2.5 Camera update that problems arose. They changed the way you "reframe" the photos with that update, and it seems to really mess with OneDrive syncing. Pictures I've reframed get auto-uploaded in the original (not reframed) format. Both picture files appear on the phone, but the copy that ends up on OneDrive is a 9-10MB file (versus the usual 2-3MB). Oddly enough, the uploaded pictures don't end in "_highres" despite being the 34MP version.
It is very odd behavior.

Firmware update caused problems with HBD-N790W

Latest firmware update caused my DVD Blu Ray Home Theater to lose the ability to find internet video content. The unit shows that the 12/19 update was successful. I can access the internet and get web browser content--so there isn't anything wrong with my wireless web connection. My unit shows the connection to the internet is working. I made a YouTube video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nqYNNVPcBA&list=UUNQaJbjyKQwFlZXY6832mIA The set-up feature does not work and I lost my video channels (Netflix, Amazon). I don't really understand why my connection to the internet works, my wireless works...everything works except getting updated media channels. I have tried plugging and unplugging cable, modem, wireless, unit, for ten minutes many times. I reconnect the unit to the web...get buttons that say that internet content can be updated...press the button...then the Sony logo and it stops there.

Hi, i work for a Service center for walmart and bestbuy and i have been getting this model in for service for awile now, after a firmware update the systems have reported to work good till there turned off the first time and then they dont book up all the way, you will get a Sony logo at top left screen and the Blue Bluray Logo in the center of the tv screen and thats it, no menu functions the controls on the player it self flash on and off slowly you can turn the system on and off with the remote but thats it, this looks like a failed firmware update but there seems to be no way to reflash these even with the firmware you can get from the sony site you have to burn a CDR disk but becuse there is no menu you cant get that far, i have 19 of these units stacked up 5 have been replaced with other brands to make customers happy, the rest on still in wait for a fix, its looking like replacement of main board will be the next step in this night mare. if sony tech wants to shine some lite on this now i would be very gratefull. Thanks Chris R.

Support issue - updates causing problems

i am still having problems which render existing sites which were working fine before muse beta 7 to display incorrectly, and in some cases unworkably. i understand that this software in in beta mode but in order for us to use it and feed back on the issues we are finding we need to be supported by adobe in that process so that we trust that we will be enabled to deliver sites to people at our end.
i posted an issue here last week which no-one has come back on. since there is currently no other way of receiving support than to do this it leaves us somewhat on our own when these requests and issues are ignored.
i now hoave several clients requiring updates to their sites that i am having to tell to wait because my software is letting me down. how come no-one at adobe is picking these things up? it makes using muse and trying to take part in a rigorous beta test very difficult to do at this end. what do we have to do to get things working properly again please? anyone?

Yes me to, i just updated a site today, and wasted a whole day on it! i had split the content between muse and bc, so i could allow certain pages to be updated by the person i designed the site for. The update wiped all the image files that were uploaded to business catalyst. A accordian tab i had used was sudenly didnt work and i had to come up with a different solution. This sort of thing is maddening. Im no coder but at least i have learnt enough about how bc and muse work, or dont work together to get the site back on track again. I am loosing faith in adobe though, and as adesigner using their products for some 15 odd years i hope they perhaps read this. There is nothing user friendly about bc. I think adobe are just trying to stitch together two lost causes they have overinvested in. I have made three sites so far, i think i may call it a day if muse doesnt radically improve.

Latest update causes problems on iPhone 3

The most recent update for iPhone causes serious problems on my iPhone 3. The screen size is no longer accurate; top or bottom text dissapears. Some apps are no longer useable. The speed of the iPhone dropped down to ridiculous slowness. Has anyone else experienced similar issues, and more importantly, has anyone found a solution? We just got a new Macbook Pro, the iPhone is not connecting, so we cannot remove the latest update. Kind of catch 22...

The screen size is no longer accurate; top or bottom text dissapears.
Did you happens to have Zoom: ON
in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Zoom: ON?
Large Text: ON?
If so, switch it OFF.
so we cannot remove the latest update
No, downgrading is never supported

How to keep an earlier version of AW in case update causes problems?

I have several ideas on how to make this update less of a problem just in case I can't access older docs. Is any of these solutions workable?
Is it possible to burn a useable CD of my current AW 6 folder in case the update to 6.2.9 doesn't work - or doesn't open older documents that my current version does open?
Could I then run AW directly from this CD to access the older docs if they can't be opened from the update? (even though a newer version -6.2.9 - of AW would be installed in X?)
OR can I reinstall AW 6 (into my OS 9 startup disk) from my original AW install disk to access the older versions?
OR yet another idea, could I duplicate my current AW 6 folder and leave one AW 6 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and move another to Applications folder in X. Then, I could do the update app in the X folder and test if the old documents still open. Then I can just delete the duplicated folder which I left in OS 9. OR will having 2 AW 6 folders cause confusion when I do the update? I assume the single user legal issue is OK with 2 AW folders on my computer for a few hours.
Thanks for your input,
Mrs H
Message was edited by: Mrs H - omitted closure

SUCCESS! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! (please keep reading there is a question at the end)
AW 6.2.9 is now on my G4.
Because of the way the Apple consultant at the Apple store set up our HDs when he installed Tiger for us, we had 2 copies already of AW 6.1. (We work from 3 external LaCie HDs)
I only updated the 6.1 that lives in Tiger. I left the other as is at 6.1 since I know it will open the older docs that I have and need there in OS 9. And it had a translator bundled in (by Dataviz if I recall) for other formats - I'm not sure if this nice feature still exists in the update.
The installer said it would install 6.2.8 (??) in OS 9 and 6.2.9 in OS X. But because I chose the AW 6 folder that lives in the X HD for the install, it only could access that and left the other alone.
MY NEW QUESTION:
The font list is quite short. I really don't use a lot of fonts, but do favour Verdana which is not in the list. Any clues on this?
Thank you all again so much for your help with this problem,
Mrs H

10.5.3 update causes iCal issue on ONE account

So far, 10.5.3 update has been relatively painless for me. However, on one of the accounts on one of my Macs, iCal is causing a problem. iCal will not open, and indicates that the account does not have the permission to move the calendar cache in Calendars. Instruction is given to check the permissions on the folder Calendars. I have done so, and those permissions look ok, and they look the same as the permissions for the folder Calendars in all other accounts on all other machines (which are able to use iCal on their local data quite fine). The permissions are: owner: R/W, staff: Read only, everyone: Read only. The exact error message is: '"Calendar Cache" could not be moved because you do not have appropriate access privileges for "Calendars". To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info"'. Help please. My wife (her Calendar) is ready to kill me.

Well, I do not know about your specific problem, but I have learned from these forums about OS updates that I should always:
1.) Note from Software Update that there is a new OS version update, but do NOT download or install from Software Update.
2.) Download the COMBO version of the update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
3.) Using Disk Utility, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
4.) Run the OS version upgrade from the downloaded Combo version.
5.) Restart the computer
6.) Using Disk Utility again, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
Since you have a Permissions issue on the iCal file. the above routine might solve your problem.
BTW, I have solved problems using that routine even after running an OS version update from Software Update. Running the Combo update on top of the Software Update (incremental) version seems to fix some things that the incremental might have missed; but the key is running Repair Permissions and Disk Repair (if needed) before and after running the Combo update.
Hope this helps. (jk)

10.6.5 update causing network issues

Variations of this have already been posted but when I described my particular issues to Apple support the advice was roll back to 10.6.4!
I have 3 Macs, and this only appears to be affecting my MBP 13". Updating to 10.6.5 causes:
- ethernet to stop working; it shows as connected and shows correct IP but there is no acccess to web, offsite ping, or email. Reboots very occasionally get it to work but when changing any aspect of network config (eg switching on wireless or changing location) it fails again. Booting with ethernet cable plugged in usually results in the spinning beachball.
- wireless works reasonably, but any change to config causes loss of network as described above. VPN under wireless becomes very temperamental
- when the network fails, finder also crashes and restarting it only gets it going for less than a minute before it crashes out again.
- waking from sleep also appears to cause the network problems
I can replicate the problems easily; works fine up to 10.6.4 but as soon as a later upgrade is applied then it fails. To clear the problem I only have to reinstall the OS over the existing installation, I don't have to do a clean install. The problems occur on both my home network and my work network
I'm afraid that I can't get any logs from the failure because that would mean me breaking it and having to reinstall. I'm currently waiting for the next upgrade but wonder if anyone else has seen this - any thoughts/pointers welcome!
Kerr

I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.

Java 6 update caused problems

Hi,
I installed the recently released Java 6 in G5 (PPC-base MAC) and Leopard 10.5.8.
After I did it, I realized that the update is only for intel-based MAC.
But there was no warning message during the installation, though.
I got many problems on java side for using Eclipse java and MATLAB.
I checked that the default Java is shown to be 1.5 in Java preference app and "java -version", but installation tweaked some system files, which causes all these issues.
Is there any way to go back to the status before I did the java 6 update?
I would greatly appreciate it if some of you could suggest some possible ways to tackle this problem.
Thanks,

Restore from your Time Machine backup. Alternatively, don't do anything because release 5 was for any machine running 10.5.8 according to http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/javaformacosx105 update5.htmland since I installed it on the G4.
