After updating to OS X 6.5, Trouble putting to Sleep

After I updated to 6.5, my laptop seems unable to sleep automatically after a set time of inactivity. I have my energy saver settings set better battery life and to put the hard disk to sleep when possible but it still will not sleep!
Does anyone else have this problem?
How can I fix it, so it will go to sleep (incase I forget to shut it or fall asleep watching a movie) instead of dying?

Did you repair permissions after doing the update? Those updates move a lot of furniture around and I find a lot of mis-set permissions after applying most Apple updates.
NOTE: Starting with about 10.5.6, DU started belching all sorts of meaningless lines of permission repairs. You may not be able to tellwhat's mis-set as the spurious messags tend to hide the real repairs, but let it run anyway.
If that doesn't restore function, a PRAM ZAP may help. The computer may have lost tack of some of its devices in the update. Rare, but can happen.
If that still gives no joy, you can add an eject icon in the menu bar. If that works then at least you avoid the manual opening. Here's how:
(instructions are for Tiger but should work in Leo):
Follow this path: Macintosh HD -> System -> Library -> Core Services -> Menu Extras. Inside the Menus Extras folder is a little file named Eject.menu. Double-click that file and you get a handy eject icon near the right end of the menu bar. Clicking/holding it is exactly the same function as the eject key on an Apple keyboard.

How do I return to OSX 10.7.3 after update. I´ve have only troubles with 10.7.4 update

How do I return to OSX 10.7.3 after update. I´ve have only troubles with 10.7.4 update

You can only "downgrade" if you wipe (erase) your hard drive. So, if you made a bootable clone or have an up to date Time Machine backup with 10.7.3, you can boot from the bootable clone, erase the internal drive, and clone your old system back. Not 100% sure about the steps using Time Machine since I don't use it,but there are excellent articles available which I can link to.
As far as I know, the problem with installing an earlier version would be that once you check Software Update, you can no longer choose to download a Combo update of a different/earlier version since Lion is only available through MAS. So, if you check it, it will most likely only offer you the current/latest version.

Shutting down after 10 sec of inacivity and can't put to sleep

New computer, have been using for about 1 month. Anyways, nothing I've noticed that could have trigerred this change...
When the computer is inactive for only 10 sec it will shut down. Losing all my unsaved data. Really annoying. I can't do anything. When writting an email, I can't stop tyoing because my computer will shut down.
I have also tried setting it to sleep but it will not. It only shuts down.
I have changed the Energy Save to a schedule. It does not work either.
Any ways to change the shutting down feature to never?

Are you certain you haven't downloaded/installed anything lately? It's not normal for the Macbook to shut down without warning and as frequently as what you describe. Is the battery fully charged - and the power supply shows a small green light on it? I'd suggest an SMC and Pram reset for starters (links below). After this, launch DIsk Utility (in Utilities Folder) and verify/repair both the hard drive and permissions.

Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Has anyone had trouble with safari after updating to ios 8 on ipad

I am having trouble viewing a web page through safari after updating to ios 8 on my ipad. On the left side of my screen is a list of my favorites leaving only 3/4 of the screen to view a web page. Before the ios 8 update when I clicked on the safari icon it took me to a full screen view of my favorites with icons.

Same issue here, seems to be fine on text based websites, but any with images on struggle to load.
im on 100mb fibre, and all sites work fone on other devices, just my iPad since upgrading
its loads the site slowly, displays about 3/4 of the page once loaded

If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
updating to iOS 6:
iOS 6.0.1
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
USA
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does It mean?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Airtel 13.0

It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

After updating to Mountain lion I am having trouble printing to my wifi Epson printer

After updating to Mountain Lion I am having trouble printing on my wifi Epson Workforce 645. I keep getting an error message and my computer is set in the system prefrences to that printer

What is the error message?
Try resetting the printer queues:

This update also clears your "computer name" in Syst Prefs > Sharing, and entering a computer name solves network print issues for many.

Trouble with safari after updating SL 10.6.8

I updated my OS last night to 10.6.8 and today, in Safari I find that I cannot view amazon.com When I open a page, much of it is blank. Anyone else having trouble with amazon after updating to 10.6.8?
michelle

(This is a copy of my post in this thread.)
I updated to 10.6.8 too, was suddenly unable to print to my before perfectly working printer (an HP Color LaserJet CP1515n hooked up to an AirPort Express), and started scouring the web for solutions. The more I tried, the more disappointed and frustrated I became. Then I came here, read about a possible solution in this very thread (the disk image 'Repair10.6.8.dmg') and became hopeful again.
But alas...
Sadly, this isn't working for me at all. I ran the script that supposedly fixes the print problems introduced in 10.6.8, but the print jobs still all pause the printer and fail with a 'broken pipe' error. It has nothing to do with the USB cable, as I can print just fine with the printer directly hooked up to my Mac wit that very same cable. I reinstalled the drivers, updated my printer's firmware, ran the repair script twice just to be sure, reset the printing system, even deleted all preference files with 'hp' in the name and having to do with printing, restarted my Mac. All with no result.
Man, this is so frustrating! Anybody with any other suggestions or possible solutions?

Trouble with ä,ö,ü in Music Manager after updating...

Hi, it seems there is a bug in the Nokia Music Manager after updating the PC Suite to version 7.1.26.0. The german special characters (Umlaute) like ä, ö, ü, ß are no more correctly saved or displayed in the file names and tags.
Can you help?
Kind regards

Why don't you want to follow up with your previous thread?
It'll be confusing when you started multiple threads linking to the issue.
Sorry, I haven't posted here much so I'm not familiar with the protocols. I just thought it would be less confusing to make this a separate issue. I linked them to avoid duplicating info on my config & h/w

Airport Problems after update and trouble shooting

Hi There,
I have an Intel iMac and after updating airport i've been having problems with it. I'll be using the internet and all of a sudden it will just disconnect and cannot detect any network connections. Now, i've seen the other posting already about fixing this problem, and I have done what it says to fix the problem by moving the system configuration folder and the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. After I do this, it works for a few hours but then i have the same problem again. The folder and the file is recreating and i have to follow the same steps and move them again, but then every few hours it keeps getting recreating. Is there something that i can do so i'm not constantly moving the files around and having to re-setup my network. Is there a way to reset Airport to the way it was before i installed the update?
Thanks

"Is there a way to reset Airport to the way it was before i installed the update?"
Of course you can erase your hard drive and reinstall up to 10.4.7, and not go any higher. The problem is the 10.4.8 update, or some part of it. The many other updates recently posted for different apps are not part of the cause, so those updates can be installed.
"Is there something that i can do so i'm not constantly moving the files around and having to re-setup my network."
Yes, once you've followed the "restart twice" instructions involving preference file deletion, it appears that by turning off AirPort before letting it sleep, restart, or shut down, those two files will not get the same corruption recreated. Afterwards, you should be able to turn on AirPort and after a slight delay of about six to eight seconds AirPort will be able to reacquire your network.
If you forget to turn off AirPort before sleep, restart, or shutdown, then those files will again be corrupted and you'll have to go through the process all over again. I ran through it about 50 times, changing this and that, and that's all I could come up with.
Hopefully someone else out there with a different perspective will be able to figure out what else needs to be done.

After updating to iOs5 I'm having a lot of trouble with receiving and making phone calls

After updating to iOs5 I'm not able anymore to receive and make normal phone calls. This is very frustrating: when somebody calls me they have signal but my iPhone 4 doesn't make any sound or anything and when I try to make a call I don't hear any signal while phone rings at the other side. Sometimes if I turn the phone off and on again things go better but problem is still there. What should I do?

we have the same problem, no solutions received until now!
