After Software Update, USB Power Issues and Cursor Freezing

I have a 1.8 dual g5. After the latest software update I experienced some seriously quirky usb power fluctuations, a card reader frying and sudden, but temporary, mouse cursor freezing. I did some research and went for a clean install from original Leopard disc and downloaded the combo update 10.5.2 from apple support. I then restarted in "safe mode" and ran the 10.5.2 update, restarted, zapped the pram, restarted to disc warrior to repair permissions and clean the drive... then restarted again. Same deal: Spinning lines on gray 1-2 minute. black (sometimes white) screen 3-5 minutes. blue screen 1-2 minutes. log in.
Tried cocktail, disc utility permission repair and removing log-in applications/drivers. Same deal... ****** computing. I feel like it's 1999 all over again.
Cost me three full days work so far under a very tight deadline and a lot of stress..... Apple is 100% responsible for this messy release and needs to address it quickly.

My problem is similar to the others already posted, but quite different too. Perhaps someone else has had this strange issue occur. I attach my nike+ receiver and set my workout as usual, and then I come to selecting playlists. I select my playlist (which is titled running) and my work out starts. HOWEVER, the playlist that I selected plays music from another playlist such as sarah mclachlan (which is not in my running playlist). I have tried everything that you guys already posted short of doing a restore. Any thoughts? I posted this same question on the nikeplus.com web forum but no one has replied. I can find no sequence to the playlist malfunction. For example say I choose to play my sarah mclachlan playlist it will play my irish playlist instead and so forth. Make sense? HELP!!!!!

Problems after software updates - iTunes, Sound, Clock and General

After applying the update to iTunes (7.6.2), it has almost exclusively crashed straight after start up, or after a few seconds of playback. Twice it's worked for a short period, but then crashed when I plugged my iPod in.
I get this in the Problem Report:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000008
Ire-installed it to no avail.
A couple of days later I carried out most of the other updates, and ever since things are running slow. Everything down to the trackpad movement is sluggish, even choosing a user and entering my password falters and stalls. Sound seems to skip and struggles to be played if at all, and absurdly my clock is losing time, at a rate of about 50 minutes every hour.
Taking the battery out and holding down the power button temporarily(about 10 minutes) resolved the sluggishness, after which point it slowed back down.
These are all the software updates carried out over the last week:
+iTunes 7.6.2+
+Macbook EFI Firmware 1.1+
+iMovie 7.1.+
+Keynote 4.0.2+
+Number 1.0.2+
+iWeb 2.0.3+
+iPhoto 7.1.2+
+Keyboard Firmware 1.0+
+AirPort Utility 5.3.1+
+Front Row 2.1.3+
+Digital Camera RAW Compatibility+
+iPhoto 7.1.3+
+Leopard Graphics 1.0+
+Time Machine and AirPort 1.0+
+Keynote 4.0.3+
+Security 2008-002 1.1+
+Safari 3.1+
I'd be very grateful for any help or pointers as to what may have cause the problems, and how I might go about rectifying them.

TS2990 after software update gray screen appears and no start

Blackberry Z10 won't turn on after software update. Black screen and LED light blinking

Im using BB Z10 (stl-100-1 ) os version 10.3.1 for 9 months, recent days it hangs a lot and it hanged later not turning on and red led has been blinking simultanously. please help me

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please do it again but increase the step 4 wait time to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

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!

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. ????

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.

USB Audio stopped working on 27" ACD after software update 1.0

Hi all,
My 27" ACD worked flawlessly until I installed 27-inch LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0 earlier tonight. I have a unibody MacBook Pro that doesn't output audio from the mini displayport, when I got the ACD Friday, USB audio output worked fine. I also have a 24" ACD and audio worked fine on that as well. But after software update 1.0, I can no longer get audio output of the 27" ACD to work via USB, I even rebooted my Mac and it still doesn't work. After trying it a few times in Sound.prefPane, I now can't even select the "Display Audio - USB" option (when I click on it it reverts to the other option right away).
From /var/log/system.log, I believe this is the error related error message:
System Preferences[332]: Error ^P trying to set sOut device to 264
Message was edited by: ayn

I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

N97, issues still unresolved after software update

I was happy to see the latest software update from Nokia for N97 hoping it would have solved the issues but I was very disappointed experiencing the same problems that I was getting before and worst part was new problems have also
been experienced.
Old problem which is still not solved
It is still impossible to get the phone working if it switches off by battery getting fully drained. The battery doesn't start
charging even if you put the phone in charging for 24 hours. The charging light blinks but the phone doesnt charge.
New problem after software update
Even if the phone is put on charge for 24 hours, it doesnt get fully charged. Infact the battery indicator doesn't climb up after 2 points and after using the phone for a small time, it says battery discharged and phone switches off.
I have always been stuck to Nokia phones since I've started using handphones but am having the worst experience with
this N97. God knows when the Nokia people will wake up and provide a final solution to this.

Try pulling the battery and leaving it out for 5 minutes. Put back together and commence a recharge. Se if that helps.

Safari and Mail will not open after software update

After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

Ipod touch4g is not detected in pc and itunes after software update

- 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.

After trying a software update it froze midway and is now not responding and not being recognised by itunes. Help!!

Hi
My 3rd Gen Ipod Touch was undergoing a software update when it stopped and itunes threw up a message saying "Update cannot be completed due to an unknown error". I disconnected and reconnected the ipod, and itunes suggested I restore the ipod. I started the restore and it froze midway and again said "Cannot be completed due to unknown error". The ipod is now frozen with the apple logo and an empty progress bar. It is not responding to anything. Windows is recognising it by opening Itunes but Itunes is not showing the divice in the pane. I dont know what to do! Please help!

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

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.
