After software update, icons bounce, apps don't load
I recently returned to my iMac after a three-week absence and all was working normally. I ran software update but didn't take much notice of what was being upgraded. However, I now have 10.6.2 and everything is up to date. However, after rebooting a find that a large number of applications will not load. The applications bounce for a few moments but nothing happens. iCal, Address run normally but almost everything else, including iLife apps, refuse to load.
I've done the usual test, including repairing permissions and running Disk Warrior to make sure everything is ok. At the back of my mind I think I've heard of this problem before but cannot think where. Anyone have any ideas of what might happen.
Note: I ran the same updates on my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and everything is running normally. The problem is confined to the iMac.
Hmmm, I must be looking with my eyes closed, I cannot find the button to make my own thread. So I'll just hijack this one for the time being :P
I have a similar to Michael. I updated Safari to 4.0.4 last night and not long after booting up and using Safari, and even FF by itself after a while the pages don't display properly and the screen saver stops, system freezes (about half a dozen times now). Dock icons go all weird. I did repair permissions... nothing. I just reset PRAM, worked ok with some problems, but it has just totally froze again.
Reinstall?

After installing new software updates, my internet pages don't load
Yesterday I was prompted to "new updates are ready to install", so I did. But now my internet pages either don't load when I click on a site, or are really slow loading. Anyone else with this problem?
Are you using Safari? There have been some issues with Safari 5 and third-party plugins. Disable any plug-ins you may have installed and restart your Mac.

After software update (Sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing
Plugged my phone in and itunes said there was an update I needed to install. Did that then it said there was a problem with the phone and it needed to be formatted before itunes could read it, did that too. Then while it was syncing up again after formatting it kept telling me there was a problem and items could not be found. All downloaded apps, some are missing completely from the phone, are no longer working. HELP!

yes i am fully aware of that!!!
This "i do not see an update when i connect to itunes!!!!" suggested otherwise.
the post says "after software update (sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing"
there has been no update in sept 09!!!!
Perhaps the OP doesn't connect the iPhone to the computer very often.

Restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes
restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes
And....that's your question? How to restore the apps? Sync your iPad with iTunes and the apps should be restored to your device. Or go to the purchased tab of the App Store and tap on Not on this iPad and download them again.
Did you restore from a backup after you updated? Can you provide any information at all? -

EasyFind – Spotlight Replacement
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.

Unrelated, for anyone curious. The following link may help to solve your problem.

Ipod touch4g is not detected in pc and itunes after software update
after software update is done. when i connect my ipod touch it is not detected in pc (windows 7) and in itunes please help me anyone.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
I myself, two days ago purchased a 2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
SHAME ON YOU! -

Which version of Cydia is on your iPhone - the one with the black & white
icon or another one? What color is the Cydia icon? -
So I updated to OS X Maverick(s) and backuped my harddrive and got a new one installed, everything seems okay but some things are missing in my settings like the software update icon. Does anyone know how I can get it back?
Okay so I asked someone from apple and they said that the software update icon is gone but its functions have been merged with the app store icon on the settings menu. Crisis averted haha!

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?
If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck. -
Restoring contacts after software update
After software update i accidently clicked something like "treat as new iphone" instead of "use existing settings". Now I can synch programs and music but my contacts are gone. Is there a possibility to restore them?
Unless you have been syncing your contacts with an app on your computer (Outlook, Mail) or cloud (MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, Exchange) as you should have, the contacts are permanently gone.

Software Update icon in System Preferences changed
Never seen this before. This morning I noticed that Software Update icon in System Preferences changed from the regular one to a BIG switch. Noticed this only in MBP.
I got it back. I moved Software Update preference pane from /System/Library/PreferencePanes to Desktop and moved it back. The original icon is back ! Ofcourse I ran Disk Permissions after checking.

Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
