After firmware 1.5.1, applications stall when downloading over wifi

I recently updated my firmware to 1.5.1, and am now experiencing an amazingly frustrating issue: when airport is actively downloading, the "beachball of death" appears over other applications.
For example, here's what just happened:
1) Work in Word 2008, listening to itunes
2) Purchase a new album in itunes
3) Itunes will download the album, rendering Word unusable ("beachball of death")
4) Pause all active downloads within itunes (or turn off airport)
5) Beachball immediately disappears and word becomes active again.
Anyone else having a similar problem?

When you click OK for install, it'll do the little updater window, tell you it's optimizing, then shut down your computer.
You're in front of a shut-down MP 2010. You need to click *AND HOLD* the power button for a few seconds. It'll flash a few times, make a different tone and then you'll see the updater bar.
You cannot just power it up, you must click and hold until the little white power indicator light flashes.
Welcome to MP51.007F.B03
p.s., Why it drops the file Mac Pro EFI Firmware.app which is "damaged" etc, into /Apps/Util/ I dunno. It does that for me too, but firmware is updated. You should be able to hit Software Update now and not keep seeing the EFI update show up.
If you're clicking AND holding the power button AND see the white light flash multiple times (it takes a few seconds, keep holding down the power button), and it still doesn't work... then I dunno.

I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years. Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time. Tried restarting computer. Version says it is up to date.

I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years. Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time. Tried restarting computer. Version says it is up to date.
How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?

Thanks for the response. The application was crashing. A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked. It had failed dozens of times before.

But to Stop Launch when your apple device is connected, 1. connect your iPhoneto your computer, 2.Go to the Summary Page, 3. uncheck the box "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" and then your good for that device.

My ipad stalls when downloading an app update

Wireless sync option not available on Itunes 10.5. After updating my iphone to IOS 5, the "sync over wifi" option is not being displayed in itunes.

hi, I managed to update both Itunes and my ios to the latest versions (10.5 and 5 respectively). I'm unable to see the "Sync over wifi" option in itunes. Can anyone help?

Maybe that's why I got lucky? I have 10.7.2. I have to tell you howeer that I did not check any check box in settings on the Notebook to enable Wifi sync, or in iTunes on the notebook. I did have options when setting up the iPad and I selected sync with computer rather than back up to cloud. Maybe that is another difference? I feel feel fortunate that as I type this my iPad is syncing over wifi and you're all having trouble.
Just to confirm I have iTunes 10.5 MacOSX 10.7.2 and iOS5 installed on the iPad. I'm going to dive in and do the phone now too. I will report any troubles, or pay more careful attention when the iCloud settings and set up come on the screen. Maybe I did something else I don't remember.

My i phone 4 very slow when downloading from wifi..

Will applications update when downloaded with a different iTunes account?

Here is my scenario:
My girlfriend bought an iPhone. To sync her contacts I used iTunes on my computer, unknowlingly setting up her iPhone to have my iTunes account set up on it. Since I didn't realize my iTunes account was saved to her iPhone, she proceeded to download several free apps to her phone, all under my account.
After realizing what had happened when we tried to sync the iPhone to her computer, I did some research on the web and figured out how to get her iTunes account on the iPhone (I accesse the store on her computer and then synced her iPhone to it - problem solved). To allow her to continue using the applications on her phone, I authorized her computer to use my iTunes account.
My question: If her phone now has her iTunes account, but still has some applications originally downloaded under my account will the app store still check for updates for these applications?
Also, are there any other considerations I should be aware of with this situation?
Thanks for your help,
George

Free applications are easy to "re-purchase"
Lets say you bought Travel Planning software for $39 under an appleID with your work email address. Then you got a mobileMe account for personal use and that of course is an appleID too. Well, good luck getting updates for your $39 purchase. You "can" do it...but it means you have to logon to the iTunes store as the old account get the updates, log back into the first account to get updates for the apps purchased with that account...and then sync to the iPhone. Lots of fun.

Help! why iMovie app stalls when skimming over movie clips? too big a file?

Hello all,
I've only been using a Mac for about a year; and am pretty new to using iMovie as well. I have a Core 2 Duo- Macbook with OS X 10.4.11 and 3 gig of RAM. Anyway, forgive if I don't use the correct terminology:
Okay I know my screencapture vido clips (.mov format) are about 30-67mb. I'm only loading one at a time that I need to work with in the 'New Event" section.
Even if I turn off every application, disable spotlight, take out the widget apps, background running apps, and turn off wireless, I still get the iMovie app...
...um how to describe...hmm.....well....that pinwheel/hourglass....."please wait a sec' thing comes up whenever I take my mouse and try to skim a SHORT amount of video (with no audio i might add). So if I move it then it takes several seconds for the app to catch up and then play the part that i skimmed over. I don't have to move it far or fast. This is happening even though I have added the movie from New Event to the project space.
Ah, I just looked more carefully and this 'catching up' thing is happening no matter what I'm doing like even trying to get to the menu or close part of the project window. And I might add my fan is gets louder and faster a few seconds after trying to do anything in iMovie and goes down after I do something else shortly afterwards. I noticed on the Activity monitor that it's taking ALOT of CPU power to just skim over little bits of video (or so it seems from the spikes in the visual meter in green 'user' bar part)
What's up with this?
Please help as I'm trying to finish this graduate school webpage project that needs to be turned in tomorrow (yeah I know, I procrastinated :-P
I'm also trying to save money from calling Apple Support and pay them because I didn't pay for that extended care plan
Bri

Okay thanks for that explanation of things. I had forgotten about having data/media on a separate HD. I should have remembered that from when I've dabbled in creating music and had read to store one's audio and other data on a separate drive.
So, yes all my media is stored in the same folder and just on the main drive. Also, in the import settings i chose for the files to be copied to where ever it copies them. I thought that might help. Was that a good choice or.....?
I guess in the long term I need to switch to my external drive. However, I'm not at my house at the moment, and can't use the drive because I have to learn to config it anyway into two separate partitions and formats for storing PC stuff on and Mac stuff...currently have a PC-NTFS formatted partition with PC data and haven't taken the time to learn how to do the other partitioning for the Mac.
I need to figure out how I can deal with this stuff between today and tomorrow
So from the info above in the other reply I guess the Mpeg 4 format is not acceptable then for a format as you talk about making it easier to scrubb? I did a quick screen capture to see which file formats I can save stuff in. So are you saying I should have saved the files in DV-PAL format? BTW, I don't have any audio recorded with the file. It's just a visual presentation. also BTW, the reason I chose the mpeg 4 was in thinking that it might be better with the file size when converting the finished iMovie and then converting it to a Flash .flv file so I can put a small video on a webpage.
So would I need to re-save the clips somewhere to another format? Hmm which app would re-save a current video file if I need to do that: iMovie, Flash, Quicktime, iDVD, and Dreamweaver is the stuff I have that would deal with any kind of video.
I hope all this doesn't end up being that I need to use my external HD which I don't have the time to research/re-read that info for dual formatting a drive for PC and HD. Unfortunately, I've got three assignments to do with the time I have today (Tues.) and tomorrow, then school is finished.

Network Stalls When Downloading A File

Hi everyone.
I have been experiencing this trouble:
Whenever I start downloading a file, the whole network stalls, I cannot browse websites, or download other files until the last one finishes.
I have a dual band network, with both G and N devices.
Hope someone could clarify this for me.

I have this same problem. Any download of any type from anywhere grinds everything else to a halt. Meaning I can't browse the internet or basically do anything else when a download is in progress.
My PC is on the same network connection with no problem. So I do not think it is my router. I think it is because the Mac Mini is leaving no overheads to do anything else and just maxes itself out using up everything available.
Can anyone help me out?

Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 1.01.03: Problems when Downloading and Installing the Upgr

Yesterday I downloaded the new firmware upgrade .0.03 to my computer without problems. I then attempted to open the upgrade and initiate transfer to my Zen Micro unit through my USB 2.0 cable. I kept getting a dialog box, informing me that there was an interference problem... So I shut down my Norton anti-virus and my Zone Alarm firewall, and tried again, and again, and again. I was unable to initiate the transfer program...
I was about to contact you this evening for advice, but I decided to first switch my USB cable to another connector and try one more time. Surprise! It worked... A rather long connection, but the upgrade is now in my Zen Micro unit, just where it's needed...
I've had my USB cable connected to what I believe is a USB 2.0 connection on my computer, and I often see the "not connected" dialog box. Each time this happens, I disconnect the cable from the Zen Micro unit, then reconnect it... Bells and whisltes sound, and I'm connected again, until a few minutes later I get the "not connected" dialog box yet again... Is this a normal procedure?
Now, tonight I plugged the USB cable into what I've always considered to be a slower USB connection point... Mybe that's why the transfer took so long? But it stays connected indefinitely... no "not connected" dialog box.
I've been having other transfer problems through the USB 2.00 connection point. I downloaded 23 tracks to my Zen Micro yesterday afternoon, and three of the tracks didn't make it... Frustrating as hell...
I'd appreciate any comments from my peers, since everyone here has more experience than me...

koochiching,
Try turning off the Media Sniffer feature from MediaSource and try updating the firmware again.

Application error when downloaded from different country Itunes site

Hi,
I recently got a US gift card for the US Itunes store and downloaded an application but it won't sync (get a sync undefined error). I tried the troubleshooting directions supplied (deauthorise and re-authorize etc) but I suspect that it is becasure I now have two Itunes accounts (one in the AUS Itunes site and one in the US site) any ideas on how to get both US and AUS content working? I have tried authorising two accounts on the this computer but it didn't seem to work either.
regards

Numbers is stalling when syncing over iCloud Drive

I keep Numbers synced between my iPhone and Macbook Pro. Since installation of the last couple of OS updates on both the phone and laptop Numbers attempts to update, but stalls without finishing. It acts like it is trying to update three different times and is stalling on the third attempt. I store the original Numbers spreadsheet in iCloud Drive.

Numbers attempts to update, but stalls without finishing.
Update what? Do you mean update the app to the latest version. On the Mac go to Launchpad, hold down option until the icons shake, and click the x to delete Numbers. Then download again from the Mac App Store.
