Big Problems since 10.6.5 update!

Updated the other night on my imac 24" since then it has been freezing. I restarted my mac and I can move my mouse but not one application I click on
opens..I mean nothing. I have tried rebooting with the start up disc still the same problem. I hope someone can help me I searched and searched this website and didn't see anything close to my problem.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Open Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities), highlight your internal drive, and click on "repair permissions". You should do this after every software update. You may see some cryptic messages; as long as it says "permissions repair complete" at the end, no need to worry about them (everyone has been getting some after a Java update).
Also, if it should ever become necessary, you can also verify your disk. If that results in a "needs repair" message, you can't do that while booted up from the internal. You can do it while booted up from your install disk.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • Hi, I have big problems since 2 weeks with outline, fonts, size in Ai CS6 : Numerical value are so big

    Hi, I have big problems since 2 weeks with outline, fonts, size in Ai CS6 : Numerical value are so big and I can't change it with smaller. Apparently Ai said me that comes from AiPrefs... Could you help me please.
    I tried to initialize my preferences but nothing change.

    Pierre,
    You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Problems since 10.4.11 update

    Hi,
    I have installed the latest software update..OSX10.4.11
    Since then big problems:
    Everytime I try to remove / eject a usb key /memory card, (I'm a photographer so need to do this daily) etc the finder chrashes.
    I can not install any new applications as suddenly I do not have access privileges..although I am only user and have not changed any of these details.
    Some other applications tending to stall also..photomechanic etc.
    I have reinstalled update but still the same.
    When I installed th update I did not archive /install.
    Anyone else having problems with this software update?
    Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then 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, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

  • Startup problem since 5/07 security update

    I've been having serious problems with startup since the last security update. Startup hangs at the first gray screen or the while screen with the Apple logo. Sometimes multiple restarts get me to the login screen. Safe mode gets me there as well, but the next time I log in the same problem occurs. I have cleaned caches, deleted extensions, deleted fonts, used several shareware programs to clean up my startup files.
    Yesterday, when I booted up, a small camera appeared mid-screen with a face alternating with a question mark. The camera blinks back and forth for a long time. Once startup made it to the login screen, but I didn't want to login, since I didn't know what it was. Today I tried to login again. The camera is still there--no surprise--but this time startup is stalled at the gray screen and the fans starts up and runs with no progress.
    Any ideas? My iMac has worked perfectly until I did the last security update. I am pretty careful about downloads or opening any unknown files, so I'd be surprised if I have a virus. Others in my family use the iMac, but they're pretty saavy about viruses.
    I'm about to reinstall OSX, but want to see if anyone has run into this and found a way around.

    bwelch:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Begin troubleshooting with"
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back with update or further questions/comments.
    Good luck.

  • BIG touble since recent MAC OS updates

    Dears,
    since recent MAC OS update from November 2010 on my Mac Book Pro 4.1 with NVIDIA 8600M GT
    I face really problems with unforeseen behavior of my machine i.e. like getting slow or even restart just.
    I attach you a log file here showing the trouble I got.
    My question now is that after zooming through some blogs I noticed that it seems many user with the above mentioned graphic adapter are facing same or similar problems since the past updates on Mac OS. So will Apple be able to recognize that and fix by providing an update or do we need to downgrade to an version earlier than 10.x.x ??
    Here one of my typical logs after machine restarted again...

    I see.
    In deed never had any problem prior to 10.6.5
    No sweat to downgrade but then Im stucked with any updates in future.
    And I am not expert enough on OS to judge if there really is not a problem with my graphic adapter..
    I would say not cause machine work like a charm for weeks sometimes before anything happens to it... then opening safari or any other app may just causes a restart and then when looking the logfile it always looks like the one I posted here.
    Bit weird as graphic card either works or works not huh ?
    The only one else I got is a panic log but this is something with bluetooth I guess... got the wireless keyboard and trackpad connected and never faced trouble either in the past.
    Well I would give tha machine to repair but q is if there is anything broken to be repaired and I am not sure of that...
    here the ther log file if you may give it a look too...

  • Battery problems since 10.4.3 update?

    I know that there a quite a few threads about battery problems, but has anybody experienced significant decreases in battery life after installing the 10.4.3 update? I installed it a few days ago and I'm noticing now that my battery life is much worse than it used to be.
    For example, I was just watching a movie on my iBook. Before I started, my battery was FULLY charged, and Energy Saver was set for "Better Battery Life". I had airport turned off and left the screen brightness at default.
    My battery died within 40 MINUTES! I had the sound turned up a little bit but I don't think that would drain enough power to reduce my batter life to 40 minutes when set for "better battery life"....
    My battery's less than 2 years old.
    Anyone else had similar problems since last OS update?

    I just found a useful util called CoconutBattery 1.3 available from :
    http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/index.html
    Running the app - gives me this info on my battery's state:
    current & max capacity: 828mAh
    Orginial Capacity: 4400mAh
    Battery load cycles: 461
    The battery according to this app shows that at max charge it only has 18% of its orginial capacity.

  • Problems since 10.4.4 update...

    I've got a problem since i've updated Tiger to 10.4.4. Usually I leave the computer with the screen sleeping. When I try to awake it, the computer only shows the screen into a black shadow.
    The first time I've seen that I restarted the computer and all has runned OK, but the last time (this monrning) it didn't respond to the restarts and I did have to reset the PRAM.
    Is anybody having the same problems?
    iMac G4 700   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Airport, DBT-120, Wireless Mouse, 1 gb RAM, 160 gbs HDD, Superdrive.

    I've repaired permissions and the hard disk with the Tiger install DVD. If this happens again I will try reinstalling Tiger. The trouble seems to be done from software, not a hardware failure.
    Thanks people.

  • Internet application problems since 10.5.6 update (probably DNS related)

    After applying the 10.5.6 update (Combo) I have found that a number of internet apps, e.g. Safari, Apple Mail (with HTML messages), NetNewsWire or Twitterrific work much slower than before.
    Safari needs a long time to load web pages, images in HTML mails or NNW posts load 10 to 15 seconds after the text and so on.
    These problems seem to be DNS related somehow, since manually adding the OpenDNS IP addresses to my networking settings resulted in at least partial improvements.
    I am by far not the only one experiencing this, judging by this thread at a popular German Mac weblog: http://www.fscklog.com/2008/12/ladehemmungen-mit-mac-os-x-1056.html (in German, unfortunately).
    I hope that someone comes up with a proper solution -- or that Apple is going to fix it as soon as possible...
    BTW: I have neither a WebKit nightly or a Safari 4 developer release on my machine.

    I also have this problem. At first I was blaming my ISP but a quick boot to Windows XP via Bootcamp showed otherwise. Everything was fine and fast with XP but not so with OSX. I tried to recall when I started having this problem and sure enough it was after I updated to 10.5.6. Only my internet access via HSDPA USB modem (Huawei E220) is affected. Everything - webpages, email, downloads - starts to loads after a 10-30sec delay. Data from Airport and Ethernet is fine though. DNS cache flushing and using public DNS doesn't help either. I think going back to 10.5.5 is my only choice.
    I'm a PC/Windows user for 2 decades and a Mac user for just a month now. I guess trying to escape the constant OS debugging and reinstalling won't be happening for me any time soon.
    The biggest thing you can do is change your debugging mindset to realize that Windows "working" in no way exonerates your ISP.
    Too many ISPs, hardware manfacturers and software vendors adopt an "If it works with Windows, ship it!" mentality rather than programming to the appropriate Internet standards.
    The best thing to try to resolve this issue is using OpenDNS' DNS servers; if that resolves the problem it is your ISP's DNS servers that are at fault.

  • Mail SMTP access problems since 10.5.2 update

    Since the 10.5.2 update I get an intermittent problem when Mail cannot access my SMTP server (ISP is Be in the UK). I began by complaining to Be. They tell me the problem has only existed since the 10.5.2 update. Their reply to my complaint says: This problem is caused by the recent software update made by Mac and their official statement is as follows "Addresses an issue in which Mail might not send mail on some networks to some SMTP servers."
    Anyone got any ideas about this?

    Hi lynjon
    Join the club am affraid! I too am with Be and have the same issue. However standard email goes fine it is email with attachments that seems to be the real problem. There are a number of posts on here regarding the issue. I thought be were just passing the buck but it would appear that they are not.

    The general concensus seems to be try renaming the attachment you are sending. Hopefully it will be fixed shortly.

  • Mouse Problems Since 10.6.8 Update

    Since I applied the OS X 10.6.8 update to my MacBook, I have started to have very annoying mouse problems.  Sometimes the mouse gets stuck on a window or icon as if I am dragging it.  More often, the left mouse button stops doing anything and the right mouse button starts acting like the left mouse button.  At the same time, the mouse is often incapable of clicking on a highlighted button.  Safari often seems to be open when this happens.
    I have tried two different wireless mice and, most recently, a basic corded mouse.  I have also tried both USB ports with the corded mouse.
    Has anyone else seen this and figured out how to fix the problem?

    Same problem here with a macbook pro.  I desactivate teleport to see if the problem is related.

  • A bit of a problem since the 4.0 update...

    I updated my iPhone with the new 4.0 version of the software yesterday and since then, I can't play any music in my car. I have a USB port on my car radio and I've always used it to play music from my phone in my car, but since I got the new software version, when I plug it, it's like if I was always taking the cable in and out and makes the sound of an iPhone charging every 4 or 5 seconds.
    I know for sure that my radio is not the problem, because I tried it with my mother's iPod Touch and my own cable, and it worked fine. I also tried my iPhone in my mother's car, and it doesn't work either. So I know for sure the phone has a problem and I'm pretty sure it's related to the new software update.
    I tried restoring the iPhone completely but as soon as I plug it on the computer, I don't even have to touch anything and it already comes with the 4.0 installed on it. Like automatically. Is there any way to come back to the 3.1.3, which I had before?
    I'm really disappointed by Apple now. I thought updates were made for upgrading something, not making **** of it.

  • File Transfer Over Network Problem since 10.4.9 Update

    Since the update I've had this problem. Here's a typical operation:
    In a finder window, from my PowerMac G5, I click on Network and mount a disk from another Mac on the Network (Intel Mac Mini). I navigate to that mounted disk and drag a 1.5GB file from it to a directory on my G5.
    This used to take a couple of minutes before the update. Now it takes over 4 hours! My network looks like this:
    Intel mac Mini (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    PowerMac G5 (10.4.9) hard-wired to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Pwerbook (10.4.8) Wi-Fied to new Airport Extreme 802.11n
    I don't understand why this is happening or how to correct this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I do this operation frequently and 4+ hours is totally unacceptable.
    Thanks!
    G5 2.5gHz PowerMac, Mac Mini Core Duo, G3 400mHz Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I found out that about the same time as the update one of my five external hard drives started going south on me. When it got to the point of no return where it wouldn't mount any more I took it off the Mac. The network is running fast and fine now. For some reason the drive was slowing everything up. Weird.

  • Safari problems since 10.6.7 update

    Since the latest update (at least, that's what I think is to blame), I keep coming across the following problems:
    1. "Safari can't find the server" error message - even discussions.apple.com
    2. Web pages not displaying properly, i.e. elements all over the place or displaying as mostly text only
    Both of these problems are random but quite frequent. I've tried using another user account, uninstalling the one extension I had, resetting Safari, reinstalling Safari, clearing caches, deleting all cookies, deleting preference files... What else is there?

    Hi,
    Same problems with Safari there?
    Of course.
    Problems with an app in more then one account can mean there's a problem with the startup disk.
    From your admin account, launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the disk needs repairing, follow these instructions.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your startup disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.
