Bizarre error in terminal after latest system update while running "purge" command

sh-3.2# purge
[ERROR] <CPPathUtils.c:526> The device-file for this operating system, 'osx-12.1.0.xml', was not found. An attempt to revert to a previous revision of the OS device-file: 'osx-12.0.0.xml' has been made. Please file a Radar report with Apple, on the 'CoreProfile' component, version 'X'.
purge seems to still work, but now every instance of purge is immediately replied with the above error
any ideas? is this serious?

My suggestion is to do the following as this is a level 3 error so hence is non critical:
1. Open Terminal.app
2. cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreProfile.framework/Versions/A/Resources/De vices/
3. sudo ln -s osx-12.0.0.xml osx-12.1.0.xml
4. Enter password if asked
By adding a soft symbolic link you fool the purge command into believing the newer file exists. This type of link is non-distructive and hence if the file osx-12.1.0.xml will be overwritten if it is installed with a future update.
Use this at your own risk but it does offer a temporary fix. Its hard to say if the issue is fixed in 10.8.2 we will have to wait to find out. The fix has the benefit of preventing the annoying message about rolling back as the roll back will be done behind the scenes using the link.

Battery often dies overnight after latest system update

Since I'm logged in anyway, I figured I'd ask this question:
Before the updates, I could charge up my phone, only turn it on when I needed to make a call or check something on the web, or get Market updates of apps I'd installed.
The battery used to last several days -- sometimes 4 or 5.
Now, however, I often can't even turn the phone on after a day or two. I don't leave the phone powered on except when I need to use it, but there have been a lot of mornings that when I try to turn it on, the battery is dead. I've tried two different batteries and I'm having the same problem with both.
Are there there things that run now, even when the phone is turned off???
I'm so frustrated, I could just spit!
Connie in MI

I was experiencing the same issue. I would charge the battery through the phone and use it during the day. I'd check my battery level and it might read 50-60% at night. I'd turn off the phone before sleeping and then try to power it up the next morning. Nothing. Battery was dead. Can't say if the update to 2.3.6 is the problem. However.I now charge the battery using a direct wall charger with the battery removed from the phone. I use a backup battery in the meantime. The wall charger appears to be a slow/trickle type charger that effectively charges the battery to a full charge, whereas charging the battery while in the phone doesn't seem to be as effective. I can now go 3 sometimes 4 days with average use (for me) without having to recharge.

Widespread malfunction after latest system update

I installed the latest OS X update on my Mac Powerbook G4 17" a few hours ago and now all kinds of strange things are happening. One is that the machine is telling me I no longer have an airport card installed, which is absurd, since I was wirelessly networking as recently as this afternoon.
When I plug the USB cable from my printer in my laptop it no longer works, i.e. when I try to print something it says there's no printer there. I was printing without problems as recently as yesterday.
I can also no longer start World of Warcraft, which refuses to start, stating "unable to start 3D acceleration." Again, I was playing this without problems just yesterday.
The Mac help viewer is strangely sluggish, though I'm not 100% sure if there's something wrong here.
Right now I'd just like to rollback this update as I can't think of any other reason why so many problems would have suddenly appeared.
Powerbook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Right now I'd just like to rollback this update…
Just reinstall the backup you made before installing the update. You did do that, didn't you?
…I can't think of any other reason why so many problems would have suddenly appeared.
Have you searched these forums for the specific problems? There are many which deal with your particular items and also many solutions.

After latest system update java became unstable

ok i updated now my computers applications are crashing everytime they try to access java they get to there loading

Well so you haven't had issues. That's great. Go Google the latest download for Verizon Droid and read ALL the unhappy complaints. Not all have the same issue, nevertheless, this is not a good "update".
As it is now, I'm looking to move my phone service asap.

After latest itunes update, cannot run itunes: get error MSVCR80.dll is missing. What to do?

Tried uninstalling all apple programs, and downloading and reinstalling itunes. But itunes did not install correctly, and it tells me to reinstall. And if I click on the itunes icon I again get the error message than MSVCR80.dll is missing. (This is on my Windows 7 machine.)

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

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?

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Error message on searching for system updates and news feeds

I always get an error message when I attempt System Updates and when I attempt to subscribe to news feeds through the app that is pre-loaded on my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Mitch4815,
Thank you for reaching out for assistance with the New Feeds on your new Droid Bionic. I too own this device and I hope that you are as happy with yours as I am with mine. I've subscribed to the Reuter's Technology News on my Bionic so I can stay in the know on the latest and greatest rumors in the wireless world. Not only is it my job but I enjoy reading the speculation on the latest and upcoming devices. Needless to say I've had an experience that's similar to yours.
When I received a subscription error, I had to do a factory data reset on my new Droid Bionic in order to successfully subscribe to the News Feeds. Although I do recommend that you try this, let's save this step as a last resort. Please try to remove the battery while the device is powered on & re-insert then power the device on. Afterwards, verify that you have a good 3G/4G signal, anything more than 2 bars. If you are still experiencing access issues then the factory data reset would be the next step. Here is a link on how to perform a factory data reset on a Droid Bionic.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=46649
Of course you will have to reactivate your device after the factory reset. Prior to completing the reset I recommend verifying that your contacts are backed up on either backup assistant or on your Gmail account. Also, your pictures, videos, and music will be saved on the memory card so this info is not in danger. After you have completed the steps above, please reply to this message as your experience may help others.
Thank you for being the best part of Verizon Wireless.

VMware wont start after latest kernel update!

Okay when i went to reboot it went to boot into arch but wile it was loading the vmware modules it would stay stuck at loading vm communication interface socket family and would just stay there the only way i could even boot into arch was to edit my grub so i could login and at least comment out vmware i tried to reapply the vmware patch fix that was on the wiki and had no luck also tried reinstalling + reapplying patch after words and still no luck I'm hoping this is happening to someone else as well and not just me (mean i know lol) I also tried virtualbox but seems it has it's own mess of problems as well after latest kernel update.

I have tried rebuilding the the kernel image and even tried reinstalling grub with no luck. After not having a usable system for several days I ended up just having to reinstall and maybe found out more about the problem. Using the net install image and a 64 bit install this time making a EXT2 boot and a root partition of JFS right after install I get a panic during boot about how the system can't find a valid filesystem on what would be root partition. Even when passing the "rootfstype=jfs" to the kernel line in grub it still errors out telling me that it is "Bailing out, your on your own. Good luck!" (pretty funny error messages if you are not ripping your hair out). After that I redid the install this time making a EXT4 root partition and everything is working.
It seems to me that this all points to a problem with JFS on 64 bit systems, my other systems are all 32 bit and usign JFS root just fine... can anyone else confirm this?

any body an idea what i can do to fix it?

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
cheers

After latest security update my MacBook is not finding any network. My network is ok, iPad and iPhone have no problems, but laptop is for all practical purposes turned into typing machine. Has somebody encountered similar problem? What to do?

After latest security update my MacBook is not finding any network and I think is not really turning wifi on. Has anyone encountered similar problem?

Checked the older discussion of the same type and found solution, well kind of... Thanks to other people who tried it, I just cannot remember their names at the moment. So, the solution for me was to turn off the firewall in the system preferences and suddenly lo and behold there was my network.

Garmin GLO portable GPS quit working after latest Apple update

Garmin GLO quit working after latest Apple update ?

I am using Mountain Lion. I reset the system a thousand times. The Mac communicates fine with the printer, that's not the problem. Somehow, recently something changed in the ppd file for the LaserJet 1320 that it simply does not print properly. For instance, I sent a job to print two pages, and use the duplex. The duplex works, but then the other side comes out empty. Is there a place I can find the old - less secure, I don't care, I just want to print - ppd file for controlling the printer? I think the printer only supports certain level of Postscript commands, and the new ppd file expects a new level. This printer is 8 years old after all. If I plug the printer in Linux, it prints the same document fine.
Thanks for any help

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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(s)?
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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.
