After 1.5.2 Update iSync won't launch

Updated to 1.5.2 on my macbook pro, and afterwards iSync will not even launch... one bounce of the icon then nothing. Where do I begin to trouble shoot this? Tried fixing permissions but that did not fix the problem.
Frank

Thanks!! It worked for me.
What I found is that just before installing 10.5.2 iSync worked fine, but before exploring the sync options in the new menu bar icon (for synching both .mac and isync, if I got it) iSync stopped to work, it doesn't launch anymore.
Concretely, I have an expired trial account of .mac, and when I go to the synching options, it prompts a question about updating (buying) the account or do it later. Every time I click on "Not now" with iSync working, it stops to launch, and I have to reinstall 10.5.2 Combo update, to get it to launch again. It's a funny bug, don't you thing?
So, the "final" fix was to make synch icon not visible on menu bar, log out of my expired .mac account, reinstall the Combo update, and then it works (again) but don't stop working (unless I touch .mac on the System Preferences, again). So don't touch it!
Apple must release a fix for that if they want me to buy .mac someday. Since then, I won't ever touch .mac preferences, or logging .mac accounts.
I hope this information may be helpful to someone.

After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
Very frustrating.
I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

Updated iPhoto won't launch..Someone, help please!

I just downloaded the newest version of iPhoto last night, and for some reason, it won't launch. The icon's there, and it bounces up and down when I click on it, but nothing happens and it won't open. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? Should I just remove it and try downloading again? I'm afraid doing so might delete my photo library..! Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

first: restart your mac.
(run all the updates)
second: run repair permisions of your HD
third: try again

ISYNC WON'T LAUNCH HELP!

When I open up isync application, it won't launch at all. I see the word isync and help on top of the menu bar but when I click on them, nothing at all happens. Please help me get my isync working anyone! Thanks!

I had this problem last week and found a fix here on the boards, but you must be willing to go against the official Apple advice.
Go into your user library's application support folder (/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/). Look for the "SyncService" and "SyncServices" folders. There will be one of each.
One of these is the WRONG one. And even though Apple's own tech notes say "Like a swarm of angry bees, avoid touching this folder," I'm sad to say... you're gonna have to touch it.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Open both folders and look at the file dates. Find the most recent (for me, that was SyncServices). Take the other folder and right-click it. Select "Create Archive of SyncService" to make a quick .zip backup of the folder.
Now. Take a deep breath and delete the folder you backed up.
Re-launch iSync.
Did it work?
If not, you can restore the original folder by unzipping the SyncService.zip that you created, and try something else (maybe try the same with the other SyncServices folder, just to be sure).

After downloading newest android update video won't play from within photos.

After updating to the latest Android software, the video playback will not work and the error message "Can't play video" appears when trying to access video from within the photos section, they are visible as thumbnails and first frames. .. They can still be played back from the videos section but it used to work on both. This has affected all videos that are on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

spoke to online help today, they told me to backup my phone carry out software repair using pc companion. it did nothing but wipe my apps, the problem on mine comes from it won't allow films to be downloaded to the memory card, it will however download to the phone, which is crap seeing how small the onboard memory is. i've submitted an email and no doubt in a week or 2 there will be another update to sort this. it seems that none of these updates are tested properely as when my xperia z updated once you lost loadspeaker till the came up with a patch file.
my xperia z1 will play vids but when i updated there was about 40gb from video unlimited saved on the memory card, which immediately came up out of rental.... which is a pile of crap seeing as they were bought films. lets keep fingers crossed this is fixed quick.

After 10.5.1 update, Pages won't save

After I installed Leopard, Pages would not save new documents or save new versions of existing documents. It would crash and leave a black outline of the Save window on the desktop, requiring me to Force Quit. I trashed the preferences and repaired permissions and everything went back to normal. However, after updating to 10.5.1 just now, this problem has returned -- and my previous solution no longer works.
Any ideas?

Peggy,
I didn't repair the permissions until I experienced the problems with Pages after the initial installation. After I did this, things worked fine. Like I said, after updating to 10.5.1 yesterday, the problem returned and after repairing permissions didn't get things back to normal, I reinstalled iWork '08.
Here's something odd. Even though I trashed the entire iWork '08, when I reinstalled, the installer told me that zero space was required to install iWork '08. So maybe there's some other disk issue involved?
The Repair Disk option is grayed out in Disk Utilities. There's an instruction to run the reapir application from a CD or DVD, but Leopard only has one installation disk and it doesn't have any independently running repair program on it.

After batter 1.2 update MBP won't restart

Well now i'm in a pickle.
I installed the Battery 1.2 update, all seemed to go well. I restarted the MBP and it appears to start, I get the apple logo and the clock type icon spinning around. After about 30 seconds of rebooting the screen goes blue and I get a black dialogue box telling me to restart the computer. At this point the fans seem to go on pretty high.
I've tried restarting it without the battery and get the same result.
I'm reasonably new to Macs. Any help is appreciated on how to get back up and running again. This is a work computer so now I'm SOL until I can get it fixed.
Is there such a thing as starting in safe mode?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks!
Well after about the 6th try with various options, batter out AC on, AC out battery on, etc... it finally rebooted just as I googled the Mac safe boot.
So it seems to be up again now, not sure why it wouldn't restart before, but I did verify the battery new battery software was installed.
Thanks for the response and sorry for spamming the board; that was a little bit of a panic!

After 8.1.1 update, iTunes won't make a window

No errors on update.
When iTunes starts it runs, but only has minimal menus (just "iTunes" and "Help") and doesn't have a window. "Quit iTunes" is greyed out, only way to stop it is to force quit. Tried a couple of machine restarts, no joy. How do i un-update? i prefer the previous version...

Better now. Forced Quit and Started 3 or 4 times, then it came up ok, with license agreement.

After 10.8.3 update, mail won't delete

I completed the 10.8.3 update this morning. Now when I click to delete mail messages, instead of deleting, mail jumps to highlight another message seven places away.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it?
Thanks.

Strange! I quit Mail, then reopened it, and delete works as it should. Whatever was malfunctioning has cleared up by re-opening Mail. I'm glad.

After I downloaded the update, iWeb won't open.

Everytime I cllick on iweb in by dashboard, the only thing that comes up is a window saying the application quit unexpectedly. I've hit reopen and I've hit report, but nothing works. I reallly need help to find out what's wrong.

Updated to 10.5.8 with software update; Mail won't launch on G5 Power PC

After re-booting I get the message: "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
I have installed all software updates that are current. Everything else seems to be working fine. Ideas?

Interesting, I never see a COMBO update via SU, but never miss installing them when they first come out. It might be that it didn't do its job properly. Give the manually downloaded one a go and also check what Ernie recommended. I don't use Mail, Eudora's my mail client, except to occasionally check that it's working. So far it does without any errors. Don't forget to repair permissions and restart after installing it.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 Updated, now won't launch program or open pdfs

Downloaded and updated 9.4.5 when prompted. Ran update but think there may have been a glitch. I haven't been able to launch the application or open pdf documents since. (OSX 10.6.8).
Was going to uninstall but can't find Acrobat Pro Unistall app. on my computer (Own CS5 Design Premium, and have searched and found the other application uninstallers. See attachment)
1) Is there some sort of patch or update for this? If not, is there some sort of support where I can contact Adobe directly about this issue? (I already filed a bug report).
2) Where can I download Acrobat Pro 9.? uninstaller? (I still have my old Mac from CS4, should I try using that???)
Upgrading to CS5.5 and or AcrobatX is not an option at this time. Please advise.

Thanks for your response Steve.
Don't quite know what happened. I'm technically challenged. I just inserted the disks and double clicked to "install". I have two Macs, one at work and one at home. The one at home which was installed after the one at work looks correct. I am copying that and bringing my application disks to work to uninstall/reinstall.
Main question, is there a problem with Acrobat Pro 9.4.5? Do you suggest I uninstall, re-install this program?
TIA MrsMelbyElvis
