Android Update makes things worse AGAIN??!!

I should have learned not to accept Android updates last time. This time it's causing my phone to crash and reboot. What the h#ll is the problem, can't they provide a stable system update for once?
This is a Galaxy S4 anyone else having a problem?
Should I back out the update or hope for a fix soon?

Oh no! Sorry to hear you're having problems with the update jrichview2. We want to get your device up and running smoothly again. Does this happen when you run a specific application? How often does this happen? Have you tried using Safe Mode http://vz.to/1ldHnPU for at least a few hours? If not, please do so and keep us posted.

Can't add a line. Customer support makes things worse.

I'm having a lot of trouble adding a line and activating a phone on it. When I try to do it on the website it fails for no specified reason.
I tried calling and the first person took my information and hung up on me.
I called again and the second person took my information, lied to me during a sales pitch, but said he added a line and told me the number for the new line and to activate my phone in 15 minutes. When I tried to activate 15 minutes later it said they didn't recognize the number. My account online didn't show a second line.
I called a third time, explained that I was trying to add a line and activate a phone. The operator got very confused and added my new phone to my old number. This meant my old phone didn't work any more! Eventually, she punted me back to sales. I hung up because I didn't feel like being lied to again tonight. I was able to activate my new phone with the old number, so at least I can receive calls. Now when I look online it shows two lines both with the new phone.
What I need to do is now a bit complicated. I need to switch the new phone to the new line and reactivate the old phone on the old line. How can I get this fixed if every time I call customer service they make things worse?

This is absolutely riddiculous! I've been trying to port FOUR lines from an existing Sprint account and after 2 successful ports, the last two have been blocked due to some sort of Fraud Alert?
I drove all the way to Boston store to activate the remaining two lines, and was blocked from doing so.
I called on Thursday, Oct 3rd, and was told by the representative that someone would call me back. No one called me.
I called on Friday, Oct 4th, and spoke to Fraud department finally - and the person HUNG UP ON ME.
I called again on Friday night, spoke to 3 different people including a manager - AFTER HOLDING FOR 1 HOUR, and they assured me that they would get me in touch with Fraud and they would call me back. No one called me back.
I went into the Apple store in Natick, and went through the activation process, and again - after being told by Verizon that the hold was removed - I couldnt activate my phone. I spent another 2 hours on the phone with Verizon - they told me "110% the hold was released". When I went to the physical Verizon wireless store in the mall - they told me the opposite, that there is still a hold on the account.
What kind of incompetence is at play here? I've never experienced such unprofessionalism, a lack of alignment, and just general disarray in any context.
Why is it so difficult to simply port over lines from an existing account? Does Verizon not want my service? Currently half my family is on Verizon, and half is on Sprint. I'm double paying. Most frustrating is the multiple and conflicting reports about a simple question: Is the hold removed or not? If not, why not? How can I expedite this process.
Instead I've wasted almost a week of my free time running around the state. I need to speak to someone NOW. I'm on hold again calling verizon. Its been over half an hour.

The only problem I have now is with streaming/video play. I see FF 9 is out. I'll wait to read comments before upgrading as I'm leary to make things worse.

I have no other details.

It's Extremely intermittent, especially on one of the live morning shows I watch. It's just absolutely awful. And I've changed the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false, made sure my plug-ins are up to date and someone even told me to find new plug-ins which I did and WMP and RealPlayer did the same thing. So, short of reverting back to FF 7.o or a version that works, (because I'm not sure how to do that) I guess I'll have to wait to see what FF 9.0 is like from some of the other users before updating to that. I just don't want to make it worse. I'm really frustrated with the morning show I'm unable to watch uninterrupted every few seconds.

3.1.2 Update made things worse, final straw.

After 4 days of perfect quality service, then 8 days of nothing but problem after problem, that's it, I lost it, this is a completely unacceptable level of service from both Apple and O2.
Battery life barely lasting a day, 3G signal constantly dropping no matter location (even sitting on the same park bench I could watch it cycle constantly and drop, watching my battery life draining away, wifi, push, etc all turned off)
O2 says "It's not us, your problem is with the iPhone"
Apple says "We wont even talk to you until 3pm" (Sure, saturdays are busy, I totally understand, but I am NOT waiting 5 hours to talk to a technical advisor, I dont care how trendy you think you are. (this was at 10 am this morning) )
So I marched right back into carphone warehouse, told the guy to skip the usual spiel and just cancel my contract. I was warned about going with O2 by friends but ignored them, stupidly, now i'm stuck with £20 worth of iPhone apps, and a £20 case that Carphone Warehouse would not refund.
I intend to take out an iPhone contract with Vodaphone in January (supposedly when they are releasing). I don't intend to try Orange, I have had a terrible experience with them in the past.
3.1.2 was the final straw, it's ridiculous that they had to release 2 updates within 2 weeks in the first place, let alone neither of them fixing any of the problems I was having, despite restoring the phone several times, cycling the battery, new sim, etc.
If the problems are with the phone itself, hardware or software, I can only hope that they fix it by January, whereas if the problem is with O2s network, then good riddance. What a complete bust.
Anyone who is thinking about taking out a contract, I advise you wait, anyone who still has the ability to cancel without incurring penalty I strongly urge you to do so.
Such a pity, the device itself was the best gadget I ever had, absolutely loved it, but it's a phone first and foremost and i'm certainly not paying £250 up front and £45/month for a phone that only works on GPRS, I can get that for £10/month and no upfront from Virgin (same minutes/texts).

I tried absolutely everything but thanks for the suggestions.
Went from 3.0 (phone came with)
To 3.1
Several Hard Resets and more than one restore (from backup)
Replaced the sim.
More hard resets.
Restore without backup (as new phone)
Perfect GPRS reception when I turned 3G off, but honestly, no way I was prepared to pay 45/month for that and hope that the problem was software and not the 3G chip. So I returned it already.
As for booking an appointment ahead of time, I already view Apple and the way they operate as pretentious and aloof, it's a SHOP, I should not need to book an appointment to walk into a shop and talk to an employee, that is not how shops work. I have a faulty product that needs to be replaced, I do not need to book an appointment to have a 'genius' ask me textbook questions before implying I must have tampered with the phone before reluctantly offering me an upgrade.
In any other store a normal sales clerk will do that without making me wait 5 hours, I just get in the queue.
Given the deadline for being locked into the contract was monday, I didnt want to risk waiting till saturday night for a new phone and being given just sunday to test it, because the first phone was fine for four days before giving me problems.
To axemandu:
I completely agree, whether the problem is with Apples software, the 3G chip Apple chose to use, or the service providers (or a combination of any of the three) the level of communication and service that a number (i'm not going to make any assumption as to how many, but more than enough to support 100+ page threads of complaints) of customers are recieving a level of service that is totally and utterly unacceptable and something needs to be done.
I was lucky that I could ditch my contract, others were not so lucky and those people are being left with a huge monthly cost for a phone that is essentially, broken 24/7.
I've never been Apples biggest fan, I had a rather dim view of them (and any company that hails the first iteration of a hardware product the way Apple does, first iterations always have problems which is why I waited for the 3Gs, assuming problems would be fixed by then) until I bought an iPod Classic, which has served me incredibly well for nearly 2 years now and is still performing amazingly.
To go from that to the problems i've had with the iPhone 3GS and O2 has destroyed my newfound confidence in Apple, I have returned to intensely disliking them and although I intend to take out a Vodafone iPhone contract, I only intend to do so in order to make use of the money that would be wasted on the case/apps/etc I bought for the iPhone. If that still does not function well in the grace period before being locked into the contract, I will not hesitate to switch to an Android powered phone or one of the new Nokias.

Force quitting applications only makes things worse...

iTunes has never presented me with so many problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1426749&tstart=0
Adium and Transmission also having this problem where the application freezes (at the most random times), then force quitting (which used to be the only way out) and then the computer won't start any applications just spinning that beach ball taunting me. I know no one has any idea, but just thought I should post it. Anyone else?
Note: The same thing happens with iTunes, which being a first-party product with the OS makes me think twice before hitting Force Quit on any app.

10.7.1 Updates makes ~/Library Invisible again

After installing the 10.7.1 Update I found that the Library was invisible again. After running Terminal code chflags nohidden ~/Library (via Kappy) the Library is visible again. Is this happening to others after the update.

Could someone remind me what "~" in a file path means? (User, root?)
I have just upgraded to OS 10.7.1. There is a "Library" in the window that has as its parent "Macintosh HD", but no "Library" in Macintosh HD -- Users -- [my name]. I vaguely remember there being one there.
So, what does "~" mean; and
Should there be a "Library" in the second example above? and
If so, what are the implications of it being invisible?
Thanks.

So very confused and to make things worse i'm new at this Mac thing...

It says I need to update iPhoto before I can use it and when I check for a software update it says there is nothing to update... What do I do?

Have you tried updating through the Mac App Store?
Launch the "App Store" in your Applications folder.
Check updates there.

My apple store isn't working after I updated to ios 8.1.3, its just a blank screena dn it wao't load after doing everything I can to make it work again

my apple store isn't working after I updated to ios 8.1.3, its just a blank screen and it won't load after doing everything I can to make it work again. I even restarted the phone and I just don't know what to do at this moment.

Sign out of the Appstore and back in and it should resolve the issue.
Setting > iTunes and App Store > click the Apple ID at the top and click sign out. Click sign in.

The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

HT1338 Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.

You need to upgrade the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8; the installer won't run on 10.5.8, and it won't install onto a 10.5.8 system if run from a compatible OS.

My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Why is my internet so slow?? how can I make it fast again?

Okay, so I have an 8520 curve... My internet download speed used to be around 30kb/s but for the past few months I just can't download anything at all because I'm lucky if my speed reaches 1kb/s now.
I did nothing to my phone, haven't changed any settings...
I'm thinking App World verson 3.whatever might be the problem? I dunno, might just be coincidence but eversince I upgraded that **bleep** this has happened.
Anyone with the same problem who managed to fix their internet? I need help before I break this phone. I mean, blackberry makes me pay for an internet service every month but what good is it if I don't get the full possibilities of this internet?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, "Blackberry" (RIM, technically) does not make you pay for anything...100% of your contract is between you and your mobile service provider, who just happens to be reselling RIM services...but you pay your carrier, not RIM.
In any case, I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support. After all, it's their network that you pay them for access to, and with which your BB is having difficulties.
Good luck!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
