10.9.4 Update Is A Shambles

Just tried to do the update to 10.9.4 and everything got in a HUGE TANGLE.
I was presented with pop up windows that gave two options both of which would delete various things from iCloud.  NO OTHER OPTION.
*** Apple have you gone NUTS !
Where is the pre release testing these days ?
Seriously.... HEADS NEED TO ROLL things are getting so bad.

Since I did the OS X Mavericks 9.4 upgrade, my speakers no longer work. How can I solve this problem?
Reset your NVRAM and try again.
Then try booting off OS X that's located on another disk, and see if the audio works there.  This to see if it's your copy of OS X, or if it's possibly the jack.
It's also possible that the speaker jack or the audio hardware itself that has failed, as that has happened with various Mac systems over the years.
If the NVRAM reset doesn't clear this and audio isn't playing while booted from another disk, see if connecting to external speakers via the jack still works; that sometimes (occasionally) clears up problems where some crud has gotten wedged into the connections within the audio jack.
Failing that, have a trip into the local Apple store or to your preferred repair shop for a look, or start looking around for directions for disassembling and replacing your hardware.
I've seen it occasionally suggested for fixing weird problems, but it's unlikely that resetting the SMC will help with audio.
Have a good external backup of the entire contents of your Mac before performing any of this, of course.

  • Email Setup Application Does Not Work After Update

    I seem to be having the same problem as others with the email setup application.
    When I updated my Blackberry to the new OS6, I went to my email setup and it said "looking for updates"
    It finds a new update from my already installed email setup app 6.0.0 to the new 6.11.0419.0755.
    When I click "download" it says replace existing version? I click "yes"
    The it says: "com.rim.bis.client" contains a different version of module "net_rim_bis_client" which is also used by email setup application. If you proceed, "email setup application" may cease to function properly. proceed?
    If I click "yes proceed" it crashes my blackberry and it will not reboot and I have to do a complete hard reboot, wipe the device and reload everything from my backup on blackberry desktop.
    If I click "no" not to proceed, I cannot open the email setup application.
    I have tried downgrading to version 5 of the OS, I have rebooted with a battery pull, crashed my blackberry twice and spent hours reloading all my applications and systems.  I am at the end of my rope, and I don't know what else to do?!  
    If there was a way to turn off the automatic search for updates on my device under the setup and email settings, i think I would be able to set it up in the older version 6.0.0
    HELP.

    yep same problem here
    i had this problem and got a replacement handset.
    i have had to do an update and got the same issue yet again.
    The funny thing is, is when i got my new handset i had to run the email setup application and it worked fine.
    now its failed and i have to boot in safe mode and wipe etc.
    Will someone sort this out???!! O2, Blackberry whoever. Shambles!

  • Since updating to iOS 5, my bluetooth and signal have been destroyed. Before the update, the phone worked perfectly, connecting to my bluetooth in car for both calls and music. Reception was also perfect. Now, my bluetooth doesnt work, and I cant be heard

    Since I updated my iphone 4 software from 4.3.3/4.3.5 - bought brand new only 2 weeks before the update came out - to iOS 5, my bluetooth no longer works in me ford fiesta and when I ring people, they literally can not hear a word I say. It has nothing to do with poor signal areas as they are the same areas I was in with the same phone before the software update! i have even sent for a replacement phone and received a reconditioned phone (after paying excess charge - JOKE!) and the same problem occured when I updated again. I cannot believe there is no downgrade as this iOS 5 is a shambles and to be honest, I see very little difference in terms of apps and photos so i have no idea why apple are recommending this upgrade!
    Is there anything I can do to improve the fact that nobody can hear me on the phone when I speak?!! Or are apple going to insist I keep a phone that is of no use to me if I can't actually use it as a PHONE!
    Please please help!

    Hi,
    Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??

  • How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?

    Hi,
    When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
    the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
    It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
    Once here:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
    Twice here:
    C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    and three times here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
    I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
    and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
    Inspector.
    The software inspector however is still finding an
    out-of-date Java version here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
    Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
    Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
    "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
    Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
    else?
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi
    I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
    solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
    problem.
    So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
    Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
    fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
    prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
    I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
    I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
    not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
    Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
    not "JRE".
    The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
    (but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
    If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
    1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
    this archives
    (search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
    where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
    version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
    So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
    version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
    5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
    Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
    archives page
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
    so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
    the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
    (Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
    For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
    1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
    folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
    this contents in archive in you have
    affraid.
    2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
    (https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
    eloper)
    3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
    terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
    and AV dont detect this version same a bad file

  • After updating CC apps on 7/19, almost none of my fonts display

    After updating all of my Creative Cloud apps the other day, all of my documents are in shambles. Most fonts I use won't display properly. Everything still displays properly on another machine running CS5.5, but it is not an option for me to use that computer.
    Photoshop gives me an error, then rasterizes fonts. InDesign substitues.
    I'm in the final day of deadline before shipping a magazine, and changing out all of my fonts is out of the question.
    Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm on a Mac (our other machines are Windows/PC). I checked my various font folders to ensure that my fonts were still there; they are.
    I'm at a loss.

  • Can't finish the 10.5.3 Update successfully! Need Help!

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately I'm having problems completing the Update of my MacBook. Actually it finished the download and when it starts to install the 10.5.3 version, a message appears telling me that I'll need to restart. OK, no problem, it restarts and then the installation starts, but it stops on "Configuring installation". I've waited a lot, but it is still in that position.
    Can you guys help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    It sounds to me as if you got an incomplete file downloaded. Replace the router with a known good router, or find out if the router needs its firmware updated or a different setting. One person on another thread just mentioned changing their MTU to 1492 from 1500 on their router settings fixed issues with their router, and it was a Netgear. Not sure if that will help you or not, but it is worth a try the next time you download it. But don't install unless you are certain you have the complete file. As it stands, I would suspect your system is in shambles. Unfortunately with a suspect download to begin with, it is a bit like applying an oil filter to a car without new oil!
    Unfortunately at this stage you may only be able to fix it by repairing permissions, the directory, or erase and installing and running the combo update over again. To repair the directory*:

  • DNS shambles

    Hello everyone
    Been subscribed to BT Broadband for several years now, and i've just had enough of this shambles.
    BT are caching DNS requests far down the wire... so far there's nothing you can do about it. For most people, it's not a problem, but for a web designer, it's an absolute shambles, and I cannot believe the practice still goes on. (I have a good connection at work by the way, but I also need to work at home).
    Quick description:
    1. Change the A record of a domain name (www.bbc.co.uk for example, not the real one obviously)
    2. Go to www.bbc.co.uk
    3. Still going to old A record..... what?
    4. Flush local dns cache. Reboot router. Change router DNS server to google's DNS servers. Reboot router again. Go to zonedit.com to make sure A record is updated - OK
    5. Back to BT - still get old A record.... ???
    6. Ask friend to go to to www.bbc.co.uk - NEW A RECORD
    7. Go to iphone 3g network, and go to www.bbc.co.uk - NEW A RECORD
    8. Back to BT - still get old A record.... ???
    9. Shambles
    BT, you are caching DNS requests, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. You have so much bandwidth, so much money, so much monopoly, but not only is your infrastructure so crippled, you're also doing this. Why...?

    DNS entries are designed to be cached, it is fundamental to how the system operates and scales.
    There are essentially two types of DNS server:
    a) Authoritative servers - these contain the master records and are used from anywhere in the Internet to get the record
    b) Caching servers - these perform lookups and cache data for end users - typically provided by ISPs
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System has a good explanation
    The BT & Google servers you mention are caching servers - they take requests from end users and then do the full lookup if they don't have the data or pass the cached value back if they do. The length of time these servers cache DNS records is controlled by the TTL value on the master record.
    When changing a master record such as an A record you need to be very aware of that TTL value. The length of time it takes for the record to completely switch to the new value on all servers will be anywhere from instant to the TTL value set (worst case being the server just did the lookup before you changed the value). So if you have a TTL value of one week set, then depending upon the server a mix of old and new DNS will get used for that one week.
    To get the change to happen rapidly the best practice is to change the TTL value down to a low setting say 30 seconds at least the old TTL length of time before the change. Then when you make the change the caching DNS servers will update within 30 seconds. So if you have a TTL of a week then you would need to plan a week ahead.
    The reason the caching value is normally quite high for static sites is that a low value can cause your authoritative DNS server to get swamped so you set it high to reduce load. It also speeds up the lookup for the end users as their local server will have the info in its cache rather than having to do a full recursive lookup.
    http://www.dnswatch.info/articles/dns-update - is a good description of how to change things.
    So in your case what is the TTL value set on your A record you are trying to change? It would take upto that time for the BT Caching DNS server to report the new value.
    As to why Google DNS reports the new value straight away; I suspect that Google has a number of large farms of caching DNS servers behind the 8.8.8.8 address which won't be using a common cache database. If you hit a different server that has not got your A record cached it will do a lookup and get the new value. In the BT case I would suspect it is a single server behind each IP as they seem to have lots of different IPs for DNS.

  • Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

    Hi
    I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
    I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

    This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
    Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

  • Help: Multi-SCO Project - Module does not update after reupload.

    hi, I created 4 courses in captivate 4 and repackaged them using the multi-sco projezct function in captivate 4. I uploaded the zip file on our LMS and then the developer went ahead to select assemble courses from lms to add two quizzes (not created with captivate) to make another course. Developer selects from a list of courses including ones from the multi-sco project. However when i went to update the Multi-sco files (since they were in capt 4 and now i update it with captivate 5 version), only 3 of the files are updating, one of the modules refuses to update itself. However, when i looked at the multi-sco project i uploaded on the lms it is updated all four courses, but in the new assembled course one of the modules refuses to update. I have tried updating all the files on the lms with the same name as tha particular course but it still doesnt work.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on. And how i can fix it?

  • Tecra M9-136 - BSOD during Vista SP2 update

    Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to update to Vista SP2 and during the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Safe Mode and the installer continued and then finally reported that the update had failed - and reverted to SP1. This took most of the morning.
    It will start in Safe Mode but on a normal boot-up, Vista SP1 gets through the fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (it doesn't get as far as displaying the desktop).
    The laptop has BIOS level 1.80. I've tried in Safe mode to install 1.90 but it tells me that the battery has insufficient charge and the power adapter isn't attached. Both untrue.
    Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard fault? Can't see how I can update anything if it's a soft fault.
    thanks

    The message with the BSOD mentioned checking BIOS and driver versions. Anyway, no change made to that.,
    I tried System Restore but the only available restore point was the SP2 installation. I thought Vista was supposed to save a restore point every 24 hours even if nothing new had been installed.
    I've now found in System Information / Windows Error Reporting several messages like this:

  • Cannot open and update IPhoto after upgrading to OXYosemite

    From the App store, I downloaded and installed OXYosemite. There are 2 more updates available: iPhoto and iMovie. When I try to upload them, the notice I get is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    I have 2 apple IDs when I inquire about my ids. Signing in App Store with either of them, doesn't resolve the problem. I get the same notice. iTunes, Mac, mobile downloads, all use the same apple IP, only for the computer downloads from App Store isn't working.
    What should I do?
    Thanks, Sev

    I have the same problem and can't find out how to correct it.  Unable to update iPhoto or iMovie .. I get the same message as above user.  Help!

  • Error message: "playlists selected for updating no longer exist"

    I tried to update my ipod nano and I guess I had deleted a playlist, but since then, I have not been able to update. Every time I try, I get the following message:
    "Cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
    I haven't been able to highlight which playlists are selected to begin with.
    I read through the manual and thought that maybe rebooting the whole system might work. So I deleted Itunes from my computer and re-installed.
    Then I tried re-setting my ipod. So now I have nothing on my ipod.
    I also deleted everything from my library, thinking it might help to start from scratch. Nothing has worked.
    How do I "select" and "unselect" playlists so I can get up and running again?
