Afraid to install update; anyone with NO problems?

Hate to sound like such a fraidy cat, but having read all the posts reporting serious issues after installing the latest update (I guess it's 10.4.9 since I'm running 10.4.8 and am getting update notices via Software Update), I'm hesitant to install it!
Is there anyone out there with an iBook like mine (G4, 1.42 Ghz) who has installed the update withOUT problems?
iBook 14", G4 1.42GHz; 1.5GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello Bud.
IMO, checking your boot volume for any directory errors via Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc is more important than repairing disk permissions beforehand.
I've installed every major OS update when released with Jaguar, Panther and now Tiger without repairing disk permissions beforehand without a single problem but I always check my boot volume for any directory errors with Disk First Aid repair beforehand.
After using the Migration Assistant with my PB when new 1&1/2 years ago, Software Update indicated there was a major OS update available along with some additional updates. Although my PB was brand new and had not been on for more than an hour, I ran Disk First Aid repair on my boot volume before installing the available updates. Lo and behold there were some directory problems that were successfully repaired. I venture to say that I probably would have experienced some sort of problem after installing the updates had I not done so. As always, I didn't repair disk permissions beforehand and the updates were installed without any problems.
I usually repair disk permissions afterwards which is where any problems with permissions can turn up.

I''m new to Mac, how do I install Adobe CD? I put it in the CD drive and get a menu, everything I click on goes nowhere. In Microsoft, I installed many programs with no problem

Is the Adobe CD a MAC app ?
If it is a program for Windows you will not be able to install it.
If you nedd that program you can either buy the equivalent for Mac or install a way to run Windows under Mac (may be a cheaper solution)

I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart. When it restarts the movie should play. You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

Caller Can't Hear Me - Anyone with this problem?

I originally got my iPhone 3G last December 2008. It was working fine, though I noticed that after a couple of months, that it had a hairline crack near the headphone jack. Phone was still working, but I decided to bring it to the Apple Store here in Singapore (Singtel) last November 9, 2009. They replaced the phone right away with the note "Hairline Crack" on the receipt.
After two weeks, I had a problem where I couldn't hear the person on the other line unless I used the headphones or put it on speaker mode. When you don't have the headphones plugged in and try to change the ringer volume, the phone will just display "Ringer (Headphones)". I tried plugging & unplugging the headphones, and even restoring, resetting, and it was still not working. One trick I found was that if I went to the Settings > Sound option, then try to change the volume of the ringer, it would work for a couple of calls where I can make a call without going on speaker mode or using my headphones. This was getting too troublesome.
I went to the Apple Store (Singtel) again today, December 5, 2009, and they replaced the phone. Note on the receipt this time was: "Headphone Mode". Fine by me, as long as I don't have to come back again. I went back home, trusting that the replacement would be good. Guess what? Now I have a new problem! I can only make calls using the headphones! This time, I can make calls and hear perfectly, but the person in the other line can't hear me. Voice memo does not recognize any voice inputs. I have tried resetting, restoring, to no avail.
Anyone having this problem? Any suggestions on what else to do?
My patience is running out. Apple, don't disappoint me. I don't want workarounds or a badly refurbished product. I just want a working phone.

I had the problem up until today. There is a hardware problem with the iPhone internal microphone. I went to the Apple store in Barcelona and they gave me a brand new iPhone. I couldn't hear anything (except message tones, iPod music etc...) it was sooooo frustrating.
Anyway, contact Apple, they'll happily provide you with a new iPhone!

PSE11-Anyone with Printing Problems Please comment

I earlier reported a problem with profiles with the new PSE11 and Mac OSx 10.7.5. See my previous threads.
The printing paths in PSE11 have changed. My problem occurs only on the first print every time I start up the application.
I am trying to diagnose the problem to approach Adobe with more information.
So any issues with how it works differently/incorrectly compared to other versions please comment. Even if you have to work out a bypass.
cheers elo
action so far
-delete and reinstall PSE11
-deleted all prefs
-checked Epson Support
-Registered with Adobe
-Run tests with different profiles generated by different applications/companies/myown
-Tests with previous version of OSx
-Run tests on PSE6,PSE9,PSE10 where it all works perfectly
To Do.
-replace Epson pro3800 print driver when I finish this weeks production work. (new driver released two months ago to support OSx Mountain Lion. Epson says it should not have anything to do with my problem?

I am having a similar problem. Have you made any progress toward a soloution?
After many emails back and forth and then an hour and a half on the phone with Epson support they determined my problem is a PSE 11 glitch and suggested I try some forums and keep them posted! Here is the problem. I recently upgraded from PSE 8 to 11 and upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.8. I have been printing from PSE 4 as I got better results from 4 than from 8. My printer is an Epson R1800. When I launch PSE 11 and print an image it comes out terrific. BUT if I want to print a second image, or even the original image a second time it is terrible. I set the "color setting" option to "Epson vivid" on the print menu. That option is greyed out after the 1st image is printed. Doesn't matter if Elements manages color or if printer manages color. One good print and then I have to close PSE 11 and relaunch to get another print. Epson is suggesting that PSE is not “releasing” after the 1st print???
Any one else having this problem? Many thanks

Fan starts running after 15 minutes very noisy. anyone with similar problems?

The fan starts after 15 to 20 minutes working with the MBair. Doe not stop. And it is quite noisy and disturbing. Anyone with a solution?

Believe me this is nothing unusual the F10 is a notebook with a strong GPU and CPU. These parts produce a lot of warmness and this must be cooled!
Please dont compare mobile notebooks fans with the Qosmio. The Qosmio notebook properties are similar to a desktop PC and in my eyes an desktop PC is much louder as the F10

Update to PS CC 2014 all updated ok, opening image in camera raw if I use any sliders/panels it just freezes the raw module. Anyone with similar problem/solution?

Any solutions/fixes. Photoshop itself it's fully functional apart from the raw opening problem. I did have 8.5rc installed, raw does seem to have updated as I now have PS CC (non 2014 version) fully functional. I have already tried a new download and re install of 2014 to no avail. Also tried a download of the separate raw module, no fix either.
Win 8.1 system
Thanks in advance of any help, was trying to avoid a complete Adobe file wipe.

Ok, so this is actually a Wacom driver problem( I'm using Intuos 4). If I turn off windows ink in Wacom driver settings then my sliders in camera raw become responsive again, but I lose pressure sensitivity in PS. Just updated Wacom drivers, but no joy. Anybody have a work around/fix?

Updated to OS X Maverick and now the keyboard doesn't work. Anyone with similar problem and a solution?

I recently updated to the OS X Maverick and the keyboard just stopped functioning after working fine the first day. Pressing any key just produces a ding, but no mark. Pressing the return key produces a black dot as if you were putting in a confidential password. Has anyone had a similar problem and a possible solution? Thanks. mj-t

I am having the same problem and its not on every call, its very hit or miss, but very aggrovating. The screen just goes black and the home key nor the power button on top have any affect. Then the locked screen will show but you can't unlock the phone. I have to let it sit for a minute and then I can push the home button and go on in and the call is finally disconnected.

Anyone with Omnisphere problems

I've recently installed (and updated) Spectrasonics Omnisphere. I installed it to an external drive and although it appears to be working correctly there are a couple of issues I'm having that haven't been resolved by Spectrasonics yet. You keep having to push then for a reply. My issues are:-
1. When I use a multi stacked instrument with an arpeggiator in the patch it all appears to work correctly. If I then close logic down and later start it up again, then load the same song up again, the patches all load but the patch with the arpeggiator in it is silent. I have checked on the ARP window of Omnisphere and the velocity settings have all been reset to zero. I can recall them by clicking on the first part of the arpeggiator (ie turn that note off) then clicking on it again (turning it on) and all the velocity settings then reset to their correct values. Spectrasonics have stated this shouldn't be happening and I've sent them an example but I'm still waiting for a reply. Has anyone else experienced this???
2. Also when opening up Track Automation on Omnisphere the only settings showing are Level 1-8 then just the numbers 10-127. Anyone else noticed this?
3. Lastly I'm not sure if this is related or not but the Klopfgeist sound seems to have been affected by installing Omnisphere as it shows its playing but no sound is heard, although the output VU's on the channel strip and on the main outputs show an output.

I've got a different problem and can't seem to figure this one out:
Load up the Multi: "Aerophonica"
Next you'll see three patches that comprise that Multi:
1) Aerophonic Steps
2) Angelos Tube
3) Pop Female Ahs
Problem is, there's just no "Aerophonic Steps" to be found in the Patch Browser. Same thing for "Angelos Tube". There's an "Angelo Tube String", just not the exact "Angelos Tube". Same applies for the "Pop Female Ahs".
No where, and I've searched right down to the sound source browser, can I find these exact patches. Yes, I have "All" selected in all Directories, Catagories, Genre, Complexity, Author. Yes I refreshed. Yes I re-installed the whole soundsource.db's from the DVD's, yes I installed the latest updates, again tonight, but to no avail.
I'm asking this because, even though they do indeed play just fine, I want to make sure my patches aren't broken. This same phenomenon applies to almost every (but not all) Multi that I load. Most of the time, I can't seem to find the individual patches (more precisely - their exact names) that are displayed in the multi's patch browser section, or any browser, even after a search.
Sometimes the exact name shows up in the SoundSource (even though it's showing up in the Patch Browser) And sometimes even more rarely, it does show up in the Patch Browser as it's displayed in the Multi strip, but usually they just can't be found.
I must be missing something right? Is anyone else seeing this?

Z61m 9450 HAG, Windows 7 install, boot up with battery problem

Hello all,
I recently performed a FULL/CLEAN install of windows 7 on my z61m, from XP.
Everything was fine about the install, after installation updates were installed via automatic updates, the machine rebooted in about 45 seconds and came back into windows no problem.
Then when I closed the laptop down for the night and came to boot it back up the next day it booted to the windows logo, that went away and I was left with juts a black screen for ages - with disk/power/battery/wireless lights all on and the disk light flickering away.
I did a hard shutdown (pressing power key) unplugged the battery and immediately rebooted on AC power only and it booted into windows in 45 seconds again!
Now I can't boot up with the battery in.
I can insert the battery while windows is booted and it recognises it fine - and charges it.
Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?
Cheers

Another strange issue I'm experiencing: I tried to take a screenshot to post here, but when I press the screenshot key I get an error message saying "Your screen shot can't be saved. You don't have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored."
Do I have some sort of malware or trojan?
EDIT: I fixed the screenshot issue by changing the desktop permissions (not sure why I needed to do that?). So here's what my screen looks like:

Installing Windows 10 with Bootcamp problem?

I've been trying to install Windows 10 Technical Preview for a while now jumping through loads of hoops with no luck. Keep in mind that I've had various versions of windows and ubuntu on both of my SSDs in the past.
Here's a look at my set up:
Macbook Pro mid 2012
Two 256GB SSD's
32GB Flash drive
Windows 10 iso from microsoft
I have tried to make the USB from Bootcamp, then install through bootcamp. It formats the SSD, then restarts the computer. Although, the computer boots up into a black screen with a blinking underscore. If I hold option, I see two options from the USB. "Windows" and "EFI Boot" If I press the Windows partition on the USB from the boot selection, I get back to the black screen with a blinking underscore. If I press the "EFI Boot" option, it brings me to the normal set up screen. After I click advanced setup, and click my drive to install, I can't click the next button. Of course I format the drive, but still no luck. It comes up with an error saying that the drive is an MBR format and needs to be in GPT. ("The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks.") I tried going through the repair option and going into the command prompt while typing the "Bootrec.exe /Fixboot" without any luck of it fixing the issue. I also tried making the USB drive through windows and back onto my Mac, no luck either. Currently I'm downloading a Windows 8.1 iso to see if I can install this, then upgrade through bootcamp. Only problem is that this will take a while. Do any of you guys have any suggestions I might have missed? I'll update this constantly with how the windows 8 install then upgrade goes, but until then, what do you guys think?

I solved my issue. The method I used was a combination of other methods I found on the internet.
1.) Went back into Mac os X and opened Disk Utility
2.) Clicked on my SSD I was going to install windows onto
3.) Went to the partition tab and selected one partition, then changed the format to free space and hit apply
4.) I booted back into the windows installation EFI
5.) Got back to the part where you choose your drive still getting an error
6.) I then hit "Shift + F10" to open command prompt, and typed this in:
"diskpart"
Found my drive by typing "list disk" (In my case, it was Disk 0)
"Select disk 0" (Or what ever your drive is, probably 0)
"clean all" Let it sit and do it's job for about 15 minutes
Closed command prompt, still might give an error
7.) Restarted computer and went back into the EFI installation
8.) Allowed me to format, then hit next like normal!
Everything is working fine for me after installing the Bootcamp drivers except for audio. I've tried installing it through the compatibility options, still nothing. Do any of you guys know any way to fix the audio issue with Windows 10?

Maybe your charger just broken and needed to replace.

Updating email with iCloud problems

After switching to icloud, while icloud updates for my calendar and email they are not progressing. What's the problem?

POP depends on emails being downloaded to the accessing computer, usually deleting the messages from the server once downloaded, so that they are not visible to other devices.
You can usually set the mail clients not to delete the messages, or to delete them after a specified period, so that they can be downloaded by other devices. Of course if you answer a message on one device it won't show as answered on the others, so you have to keep mental track of which ones you've dealt with. Also sent messages won't be visible to other devices.
With IMAP the messages live on the server and are read from there by all the devices (like webmail) so that the whole process of multiple devices works much better (as you see it's not actually 'syncing' at all).

5530 V.20 update - anybody with these problems?

Hey, So the update is available for the UK phones and I updated my 5530 to the v.20 firmware. Unlike what most users say that the phone is faster, I dont really find that to be the case. When I startup, it takes awhile longer. Sometimes the wallpaper appears and then disappears and then reappears again with the contacts bar and everything. The problem really seems to be the home screen. Every time I go back to the home screen or click on menu, theres a black line in the center, a flash n nothing happens or a flash n it works. Sometimes, the flash is not there and the menu just opens up. I dont really know how to explain that, but I hope uve got an idea of what i'm saying. I'm wondering if I should soft reset.

You could always soft reset and make sure you store everything on E instead of C, but I have one little question. Do you have a wallpaperpicture in bigger size than the screen allows by pixles?

Afraid to install update; anyone with NO problems?
