Big issue following last OS update, cannot restaure ...

Hello, i have just tried to update my Iphone 3G from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.
While installing the new OS, an issue happened and Itunes tryed to restore to 3.1.2. Unfortunately, it did not succeed in re-installing 3.1.2.
Here the messages i got:
-> unnknown Error 14
I have restarted my laptop many times, i have tried to restore 5 times, and i have the same error.
This is the first time i have an issue with my Iphone. I am totally stuck.
Please help
Thx
Jerome

Add me to the list of users having this same issue. Tried to upgrade to OS 3.1.3 on two different iPhones -- one 3G and one 3GS. On both phones, the upgrade failed, and then I could not restore either phone. I followed all of the recommendations in Apple's support pages. I alternately got error codes 1603 and 14.
Following the advice of other posts in this forum, I was able to restore both phones by connecting them to a different computer. This reset the phones back to factory settings. Then I connected each phone to the original computer to restore the data back up that iTunes made before attempting the original upgrade. After 6 hours of frustration, I had both phones working again.
The unfortunate problem with this solution is that not everyone has a second (or sometimes third) computer available to them.
Apple seems to want believe that hundreds of users have all suddenly experienced USB problems at the same time, which just happened to coincide with their OS release. It's pretty clear to me that there is a problem with this OS release. I've warned my friends to be very cautious in installing it.

Wireless network connection issues since last security update

Hi All,
I've run into an annoying problem since I applied the last security update.
I've locked my wireless network a home down pretty tight. One of the settings I set is the "don't broadcast SSID" for that tiny bit more of security.
Since the last security update my MacBook doesn't connect to my wireless anymore. There are two ways I can get it to connect:
1. Manually tell it to connect by resupplying the SSID and the WPA key info.
2. Reconfig my wireless to show it's SSID, connect, tell wireless to hide it's SSID. I then lose connection but have a few seconds that the MacBook "knows" the wireless exists and I can select to connect to it from the wireless icon in my top menu bar.
Anyopne run into this issue and know a fix? Getting annoyed of having to do this every time I boot. Especially as I needed to change my WPA key into something I can remember instead of the 56char key I used to have
thanx

Thanks Eric! Since changing this setting last night, all has been ok

HT204413 Apple Mail SSL issues since last security update 9th March 2015

Since the last security update (2015-002), Apple Mail keeps automatically re-checking the SSL box in my non-SSL email accounts. Other email clients are not affected (e.g. Thunderbird).
Anyone else having this issue? Can the update be backed out?
Cheers

Thanks Eric! Since changing this setting last night, all has been ok

Really big issue after last upgrade

After invoking
pacman -Syu
this morning something really strange happened : it upgraded my kernel headers and docs to kernel 2.6.35.7, but did nothing to the kernel itself. After the install of all packages, I went to the '/boot' directory and it was empty except for the 'grub' sub-directory. Since the kernel was still loaded in memory, it was only a matter of doing
pacman -S kernel26
and it installed the kernel and initramfs image. All this happened while I rebooted in console mode to uninstall gtk/gnome completely and install kde.
After that I went to check my system configuration file 'rc.conf' and guess what, it was missing too and after that I noticed that 'inittab' had also been deleted. Luckly I edited both files with vim which made backups in 'rc.conf~' and 'inittab~' respectively, so it was easy to restore both. After having a quick look at etc I decided to reboot the system(default runlevel was changed back to 5 so I could boot kde directly) but something was strange after reboot(I expected that) : nouveau framebuffer driver did not load and I never entered KDM, getting a terminal login instead. Also noticed that the PS1 variable was not set. After trying to edit my configuration files I kept getting that this was a read only file system and could do nothing until I booted with an old ubuntu livecd. After checking on 'inittab' again I noticed the following files were missing(sadly, I never edited them):
- /etc/rc.sysinit
- /etc/rc.single
- /etc/rc.multi
- /etc/rc.shutdown
Has anyone experienced this 'accident' before? If so, do you have any clue how I might recover those files? I would rather not reinstall the system.
Thanks in advance.

pacman -Qo /etc/rc.sysinit reports owned by package initscripts ... which you could re-install ... might be worth reviewing logs and see if you can figure out whats going on first though ...
Thanks, after manually installing the 'initscripts' package in '/var/cache/pacman/pkg', my system was restored. As for what happened, I believe it was some bug with pacman, as the 'initscripts' package was uninstalled after the system upgrade. That package was part of the 'base' meta package which was upgraded as a whole. After the restore I issued :
pacman -Sf initscripts
to have the package 'officially installed'.
As I stated, 'initscripts' was not the only package uninstalled after the system upgrade, kernel26 was lost too(but kernel26-docs and kernel26-headers were upgraded successfully). After the restore I tried to start kde with 'startx' and got a message stating that '/usr/bin/X' could not be found/executed. That was solved by reinstalling the 'xorg' meta package, but I believe some package of the 'xorg' group was also uninstalled after the upgrade.

Keyboard and mouse issues following Snow Leopard update

I have a relatively ancient iMac--first aluminum bodied Intel-based model c. 2007. I was having issues updating my browsers (firefox, chrome) because I was on the old OS X (10.5.8 I think). So I did the Snow Leopard upgrade and since then have been having persistent keyboard (aluminum wireless) and mouse (mighty mouse connected via USB) issues.
I have verified the keyboard is connected via Bluetooth. I have verified that the keyboard is responding by opening the keyboard viewer and watching each of the keys light up as I type. Also, the keyboard will wake the computer from sleep and sometimes allow me to toggle between programs with Command+Tab.
Nevertheless, the keyboard will NOT type inside programs such as Word and Chrome. (It WILL type in the Post-it Note dashboard app, but I can't copy and paste into a browser from there.)
The Mouse will work in Chrome but in Finder and iTunes, e.g., it will not work. I can't use the mouse to select a folder in the folder tree to the left or to select a song or file/folder in the main window. I CAN, however, use the mouse to minimize/maximize/close each window.
Rebooting corrects the problem temporarily, but if I get up and walk away for a bit the keyboard and mouse re-freeze upon returning.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC because I saw these fixes listed in other discussion threads. Neither has fixed my issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Youtube issues after last OS update

Dear all,
it is since yesterday that suddenly videos on youtube runs slow, jerky. Also, it looks there are issues with the sounds on quicktime and Itunes. I didn't operate any change on the network, therefore, I believe this is due by the recent OS update I did yesterday. At least the youtube part, I guess it must be somehow related to flash. I tried to uninstall it, but it took forever and I quitted it. I tried to reinstall the Flash 10 version, but also was unsuccesful, all together with rebooting the mac everytime, and having it repairing permissions from disk utility. At this point I'm a bit clueless. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I told you above - you can view your system.log using the Console utility located in the Applications->Utilities folder.
Given what you mentioned, I do think trying to let the Flash uninstaller finish and then reinstalling Flash is your best bet, but that should have nothing to do with iTunes.
Regardless it will be interesting to see if there are any errors of note logged on your system that could provide a further explanation for your issues.
When you say iTunes isn't playing songs, what do you mean?

Minor issues since last software update...

Hello folks,
I did a software update today - i can't remember exactly what it was for but i'm pretty regular - and since ive had problems with the screen not activating and my wifi connection dropping out - usually whilst the superdrive reads a disc.
Anyone else having problems?

Do you have any Mail plugins in the ~/Library/Mail/Bundles folder? Perhaps there is an incompatibility between them and Parental Controls?

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4 (last version updated) for MAC

I cannot import any video into my Lightroom 5.4
(last version updated) for MAC
in the beginnig it was working, just after installation and update... now nomore...
I use .mp4 files
Already tried to use a new catalog, clean caches, and reinstalling
the error says "was not able to import video files"
thanks

Arghhh! A big thank-you to hhps-photo, you just solved the myth bothering me for the last 2 months!
I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 from 4 and could not import any video. But when I downgrade to LR4 it worked again. I've tried so many other solutions suggested in the forum but none worked including cleaning cache, install divix plugin, install 32 bit version etc. Finally - it's because I blocked LR5 connecitons in my firewall !!!
So simply allowed LR5 internet connection in my firewall settings and LR5 worked like a charm!

Since my last software update, I cannot stream netflix

Please help. Since my last software update, I cannot stream Netflix movies. What is the solution?

MichelPM is correct. Here's my experience.
MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Cannot start mac mini coreduo after last security update

Hi,
after last security update mac mini cannot see anymore the new 7200 rpm hddisk which worked like a charm since that…
When try to boot now I see only a question mark folder…
I can fix permissions via dvd, I can see the mac mini disk if i connet via firewire to another mac,
but cannot boot from it…
tried a kind of tech tool test: it seems that I've got a huge amount of corrupted .plist files…
How could that happen?
does it mean that it's not an hardware issue?
should I reinstall snow?
help me please

I thought that erasing was formatting as well;
no, it's not. there is probably something wrong with the partition map of the drive which is why your mac firmware does not recognize it as a boot drive when you restart. simply erasing the drive won't fix it. reformatting might.
anyway I'm reinstalling now, if doesn't work will try reformatting too…

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

Safari issues following latest update

Hello,
Am having issues with Safari following the ios8 update - pages not loading, menus not selectable. I am running torch as an emergency and have no issues with that.
All seems to have happened after yesterdays software update.........imac, IOS8
Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Missing songs following last Update

Following the latest Update I have found that the first 6 albums are now missing from my itunes playlist. I cannot locate them and they are completely missing from my computer as I also tried to access them using Windows Media Player. Both itunes and Media Player show them in their respective playlists but cannot locate the tracks involved. Anyone have any ideas ? Is it safe to update itunes now ? I am using Windows 8.1 and itunes 11.1.4.62.

I don't know where the missing media might be, but see this user tip for a suggested backup technique. If the missing media is on a device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
