After installing FF4 browser - you suggested an update to Adobe. Adobe now corrupted. Next?

I have a 5 year old computer using Windows XP and I am disabled, living on Social Security Disability. I am a computer novice - AND unable to purchase a new $1,200.00 Adobe program to replace the one that came with my computer.
I downloaded the recommended plug-in for Adobe as recommended by your site, and now - while adobe shows forms accurately on screen - it prints completely corrupted. (For example - IRS forms print in something that looks like machine programming language.) My Adobe is completely corrupted - I cannot even use IE browser to print forms.
It literally worked fine 5 minutes before your FF4 update.
What do I do now? I've since tried a "find or fix" to my system - so there's no way to make a system restore work.

I did. It will not operate with the FF4 browser. Not ever. I've given up and am using IE - and just dealing with the nightmare of the 400 million spam ads and cookies it allows. At least I can download the Adobe files I need to.
FF4 techs need to re-design their compatibility add on for Adobe 10. Period.

WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS X

WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS.
MB used as email and surfing tool when on vacation. Worked fine for months. Installed the latest security patch (update) and WiFi quit working. Two days later (still on vacation) WiFi started working again and worked fine for the next 2 days.
Came home and formatted and reinstalled 10.8.5 and all was fine again. We are selling the MacBook and setup new user, everything worked fine.
The update came up again so I decided to install it and WiFi instantly stopped working after the restart.
Does anybody have any idea what is happening.
Thanks

Not really, although WiFi has been a longstanding problem for lots of people. I fix for some breaks others.
However, if you are trying to sell it, you need to revert it back to the OS that shipped with it. You cannot sell your copy of Mountain Lion with the Mac. It is only licensed to you.
You also need to include the system disks that came with the Mac. If it came with Leopard (10.5), and you have a Snow Leopard (10.6) disk, you can install that if you provide that disk also.

After installing the OS 10.10.3 update iTunes will not open. Re-downloading iTunes and re-installing did not help.

After downloading and installing OS 10.10.3 iTunes will not open. Spotlight does not find it. I have repaired permissions, re-downloaded iTunes, and re-installed it. The problem remains. ITunes appears in the directory of Applications, the update shown in the info in Finder. Double clicking does not open it.

After Installing iTunes 7.0.2 iPod Updater No Longer Works

So I installed iTunes 7.0.2 which seems to be running fine (although my Shuffle playlist seems to have disappeared!), but if I try launching the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 I get a message saying "iPod Universal Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close" everytime I launch it. No idea why I'm getting this..any suggestions?

The iPod Updaters are not required (and will not work) after updating to iTunes 7. If everything else is working normally on your computer, then all you need to update and sync content to any iPod is iTunes 7 and a network connection. So yes, you can remove all the older updaters.

Error 80072f8f after installing Windows 8.1 / 2012 R2 "Update"

I just want to share my experience with the new Update.
We are using a WSUS (on Windows Server 2012) with a Wildcard certificate from Geotrust for some time now.
I manually installed the new "Windows 8.1 Update 1" on a Windows 8.1 and a Windows Server 2012 R2 System, both joined in the Domain and were able to update with the WSUS.
Right after the update both systems keeps failing to communicate with the WSUS with error 80072f8f.
After changing the ssl certificate on the WSUS Server to a internal PKI certificate the Systems could talk again with the wsus Server.
So keep in mind when you upgrade to check if the system still works with your wsus server.

I am also getting the same issue where the 80072f8f error occurs when attempting to scan for updates.
The client machines are Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update 1 installed) and the WSUS server is also running Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1.
You answers are not remotely helpful in this instance.
The OP has mentioned several times he is using a Windows Server 2012 WSUS box. Therefore the article you reference has no validity for this issue.
TLS 1.2 is enabled by default on 2012 so the linked article and advice unfortunately does not fix the issue.
Has anyone else had the 80072f8f error when using a Windows Server 2012 R2 WSUS box?
We see errors in the CAPI2 log for Verify Revocation Information
and Vertify Chain Policy. Althougjh browsing to our WSUS server in IE shows the correct validated certificate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards

Beach Balls and freezes after installing Safari 3.1 and security update

Hi,
I just recently installed the safari 3.1 update and the security update. My machine is an iMac 2.4 GHz with 10.5.2. Prior to this, the machine only had one freeze (had to power off) which happened a about a month back. Since the update, 2 days ago, the machine seems to show the beach ball more often. On one specific occasion (happened when my son was using it), the Chess game was running, and the mouse cursor turned into a beach ball and everything froze - can only move the mouse cursor/beach ball but nothing else responded. Even hitting the caps lock key took minutes before the caps lock light came on. Me being a windows user for a long time, I was blindly trying to find the keyboard equivalent of ctrl-alt-del to pull up a process list of some kind so that I can kill the offending app. But was not successful, hence I had to power off.
On another occasion, and this time, it happened to me - the beach ball came up as I was using safari. I could use other stuff in the OS, but any time I brought the cursor over safari, it would turn into a beach ball. After waiting a few minutes and clicking away on the safari window, the beach ball turned into a finger cursor when I clicked on the http address window - and safari started to work like normal again.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had experiences similar to this and if there are any steps I can take to prevent this again.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple forums:
Did you perform both updates at the same time? I usually recommend doing them one-at-a-time, so if anything happens you know which update caused the problem.
I especially never do a system update with any other update. I always do that one last, and wait for the dust to settle by reading this board first.
You should run DU and check the HD and repair permissions. That's a start.

No sleep after installing recent java, daylight savings & security updates

After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update, my computer would crash and upon startup would act funny showing a b&W screen with typewriter type asking me to keyboard in directions ie. "shut-down".
I was able to reset the PMU and now it will not sleep on it's own, and when I send it to sleep, it wakes up after a few minutes.

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
Here is Apple doc.#303698 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
If you've set your Mac to recieve faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Recieve Faxes On This Computer box.
If that does'nt work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Cheers!

Several applications crash after installing "MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0"

Hello fellow Apple users,
I am facing a couple of problems after installing the afore mentioned update from the App Store. Several applications do either not work correctly or simply crash at startup. Here's an incomplete list of the issues I am facing:
LoginScreen does not show login box, screen is gray. Login is (although blindly) still possible
Calendar cannot login to calendars, prompts loginbox on every startup and then fails (yeah, I checked the entered password twice)
Skype crashes on startup
MS Office crashes on startup (except Outlook)word and excel do not crash when opening a file diretly, powerpoint does only show one slide
Path Finder does not show left pane (completely white)
Preview crashes on startup
Quicklook does not work for pdfs
Finder crashes when pdf or worddoc is selected
Finder crashes when mounted dmg is selected
Google Chrome crashes when flash movie is played
Google Chrome keeps on asking for keychain authorization
iPhone Simulator crashes on startup
XCode cannot be closed
When I look into the generated error reports after crashes most applications die because of a "EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)" error. I tried to download and install the update manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609 which seemed to fix the issues at first, but after a day they reappeared. Anyone experiencing this as well? Any hints?
Thanks in advance

T540p BSOD after installing driver with ThinkVantage System Update

Hello,
today I got my brand new T540p. Its was delivered without OS (Lenovo Campus). I downloaded the ethernet drivers and the TV System Update on a usb flash drive with my old thinkpad. After installing Windows 8 Pro, i installed the ethernet drivers to connect to the internet. Then i started the TV System Update and let it install all critical and optional drivers.
After the all drivers have been installed the machine wants to reboot, but now i am in a reboot loop. Everytime it hangs in the screen "Windows Update 100%" and then I see the blue screen of death (Driver Power state failure) and the machine reboots again.
Does anyone else have this problem or is there a fix from lenovo?
Thanks,
Mat

After fresh install of win 8 I only updated drivers from windows update. Works fine so far. Upgraded to win 8.1 still no problem. Use nvidia, wifi, intel graphics driver from windows update. Windows could not install chipset drivers. So I downloaded the intel chipset drivers from lonovo. Install crashes with bsod and ending up in reboot loop. I assume it's a problem with the intel drivers from lenovo. At moment I install win 8 again and I will try to install the drivers from intel website.

After installing Firefox I was prompted to update Adobe, but the instructions call for me to accomplish things by using tabs which aren't present.

Firefox said that the Adobe instructions are outdated, but I still cannot locate the tab which I am told to use.

Let's assume you start here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then uncheck the McAfee box and click Agree and Install Now.
Do you get a yellow infobar, just below the location bar, that requires you to approve the installation? If you allow that, you get an add-on from Adobe, which is an installer that then grabs the Flash player.
Does that make sense?
Edit: This is a direct download link I found some time back. Because you should always be very, very suspicious of direct links to EXE files on the web, make sure to scan any download before running it. In other words, do not choose OPEN, only SAVE, and then check it for safety.

The Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 plugin check says "VULNERABLE" and suggest an update for Adobe flash player 10.1. It may disable my antivirus. Is this safe? Is it the right update?

I have Firefox 3.6.10.
When I checked for plug-ins updates, it opened the "plug-in check" page and showed the Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 as "vulnerable", explaining a potential security vulnerability and suggesting to update to latest version if existent, or if not,disable the plugin.
The Adobe security advisory suggests to upgrade to the newest version Adobe Flash Player 10.1.85.3.
When I click on it, it says Adobe Flash Player 10.1 only. It also says: "You may have to temporarily disable your antivirus software". Is this safe? Also: how do I know that the 10 . 1 version is the same as the 10.1.85.3 version?

The [http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ Adobe Flash Player] page refers to 10.1, but the full version details for the latest release is 10.1 r85 which is a security update. You can get it from the above link, or use the manual installers available from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
You should not have to disable the Anti-virus software in order to install Flash, only do that if is is interfering with the installation.
