Dang, one last problem since updating to 10.4.9 - all others fixed though!!

I have one last pesky problem since the update. About once a day my system will freeze, but it happens when I'm clicking on the mail icon in the doc, mail starts to come forward and about half way into my window everything freezes. I can't force quit or access any menus. I have mouse movement for about ten seconds or so then its a full lockup.
Could it be a mail program issue or maybe an issue with the doc?
thanks in advance for your help,
Brown.Recluse

Hi,
This may sound obvious, but have you tried removing the Icon from the dock and re-adding it?
Apps sometimes freeze in my dock, and this works for me.
Regards

    Thanks for your reply cor-el. I had never heard of nor seen the pref network.http.max-connections until I read about it in some of the replies in this support forum. People were saying 256 was the old setting and a new setting of 48 would correct my problem. When I followed the instructions to get to - see - and change the setting I discovered that my network.http.max-connections was already set to 48. I never did this. The only way I can think of that this setting was changed is that it happened by an automatic update to my Firefox browser. So, the problem I have was probably happening while this setting was at 48 all along. It is still set at 48 and I am still having the same problem. I will try as you suggest and set it to 30 and see what happens. I'll let you know the results. That's again for your response.

  • Importing SWF to PDf problem since updating 10.1.6

    Ever since updating to 10.1.6 all of a sudden our SWF flash presentations  have stopped importing to pdf correctly
    In version 10.1.4 we used to right click the swf and then select open with Adobe Acrobat X which would allow us to make a pdf of our presentation without any issues and showing correctly,
    since updating we can no longer do this without strange sizing issues
    Now, in 10.1.6, when we import the swf the size is tiny and either a long strip horizontally or vertically and you have to zoom in 400% to see the document properly and it no longer reads the actual SWF extents and seems to have random extra document space around it
    the sizing/scaling cropping  of the swf in pdf is completely out, like its not respecting the flash document width and height and adding extra space....
    also we have had to remove fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); as the swf wont work unless its removed
    Has anyone had any similar problem with SFW since updating
    in the image is a simple example 550 x 400 swf when it goes into pdf it ignores the document size and shpws extra space

    Ive tried all the diferent stage scalemodes but it seems to automatically decide on what the extents should be when importing the swf wheras previously it would respect the document dimensions of the SWF
    here is a pdf from swf file created a few days with acrobat version 10.1.4 on the left with one created today with 10.1.6  (document size is 1024 x 768 in flash), something has changed and I cant work out what it is  -  i have added an image resizing function to the image, which is why its constrainign to the view, but how did it come up with the tiny rectangle document size ?

  • Problems since updating to iOS 7.

    Hi everyone ! I got some problems since updating to iOS 7.My first problem is that my computer can't detect the photos from my iPhone 4.My second problem is that when I watch a video on Youtube or Facebook it keeps stopping for some seconds and then it plays normaly like it should.The third problem is that some apps change their look sometimes.What I mean is that the Calendar app sometimes takes a look from another app on the other page.So the calendar app sometimes looks like Minion Rush app.The calendar app isn't the only one app which does that.The fourth problem is that sometimes I can't acces the first page.My phone sometimes crashes when I try to swip to the first page.Does anyone has a solution for this or I will have to wait until next update in which they will maybe fix it ?

  • I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
    Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

    Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.

  • Internet Connect Problems Since Updates.different than the "settings" issue

    Since the last couple of updates I have had nothing but trouble with my wireless connection on my MacBook Pro 104.11. I fixed the last problem but now any time I shut my computer off, I have to reset my wireless router (NetGear) in order to connect with airport. Otherwise it tells me it senses the router but not the internet.
    I have 2 other computers running wirelessly and no such problems with them. They properly connect as soon as they are turned on.
    Any ideas?

    Hi starwander, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106653
    Another thing that has worked for many is to just copy/duplicate that Location in Network>Location>Edit Locations..., then use that one.
    It's easy to switch locations under the Apple icon.
    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.254.3.183 behind the scenes.
    And some Routers/Modems & Macs don't communicate it well.

  • Nothing but problems since update from v5

    Is there any way that I can uninstall iphoto 6 and go back to v5? I have had nothing but problems since this update. At first no photos were imported, then once I imported them (which took a couple of hours), many of them are duplicates that I now need to sort. But the worst part is that many of them are thumbnails that are too small so that when i try to drag a photo into iWeb everything is pixelated and looks horrible. I have spent hours reading this help site and tried BatChmod and iPhoto library manager and rebuilt the thumbnails but still have these problems. I don't understand why everything worked beautifully in v5 and this "update" is causing so many problems. I didn't really want to update iPhoto in the first place. I bought iLife so that I could use iWeb and the other apps automatically installed. This is extremely frustrating.
    Sorry for the frustrated tone - I'm just at wits end dealing with this for the last few days...

    Hi,
    Thanks for taking time with this. Yes, when I first installed I also updated to 6.04.
    Below, my responses:
    "Very strange. Upon the initial opening of iPhoto6 your library photos are reorganized into a new folder structure different than methods employed by earlier versions of iPhoto. Once completed iPhoto ought to open automatically revealing your Photo Library as it existed in iPhoto 5. Either:
    - iPhoto 6 never processed your original library and instead simply created a new Photo Library (hence the blank library you saw - moving the Library to a location other than the Pictures folder, or naming the Library something other than iPhoto Library could be contributing causes),
    - or the app didn't work properly, which I doubt."
    *It seems that it must have created a new Photo Library. I didn't rename or move the file prior to the update as far as I know. It was in the Pictures file and appeared to be fine, but when I opened iPhoto, the library was blank and said No Photos.
    "It sounds like the problem began with the initial reorganization. Do you remember getting a prompt from the app. asking you which library you wanted to reorganize? Do you have multiple libraries? Have you used iPhoto Library Manager?"
    I don't remember getting a prompt asking which library, but it could have happened. No, I only had one photo library. I only used Library Manager after I encountered the problem of the empty library and turned to this forum for advice.
    "Did you make this backup prior to the initial opening of iPhoto 6, or after the initial reorganization? If it's the former, you could trash the entire iPhoto Library folder in your existing Pictures folder, then move the backup library intact into the Picture folder. Then you would start-up iPhoto (hold down the option key so you are pointed to the correct library) and allow the app. to reorganize the Library into its new structure."
    Well... no, I didn't have a current backup prior to the initial opening of iPhoto6. Completely my fault there.
    "If the backup is after the reorganization, from what you describe, it seems your backed-up libraries may not have been reorganized. Advice is the same as in the previous paragraph."
    I did that as well - launched hold option key, etc. Then I had photos after a few hours of rebuilding. That was good, but now I'm not sure what to do with all of the thumb sized duplicates. I think that all of the photos are there, just organized in a bit of a strange way - I usually had my library organized by roll according to date - and the rebuilding put things in strange orders and also merged some rolls, etc. For the most part though, each rebuilt roll is either fullsize or thumbsize, so that is a bit helpful. Since none of the previously sorted albums survived the update installation it's just very time consuming sorting through thousands of pics.
    What I've done now is sorted rolls into fullsize and thumbsize, as a start to making sure that I have duplicates of all photos in both sizes before I do anything else. Once I have that job completely finished, what should I do with all of the thumbsize duplicates? Do I need the thumbs? Can I take them out of the viewing window of the application?
    Of course I was planning on doing a backup the week that I got the new software but was too excited to install to remind myself to do the backup first... A good lesson to learn I suppose.
    Thanks so much for your help. I look forward to seeing what to do once things are sorted again.

  • Iphone 4 bluetooth connectivity problems since updating to ios 5.01

    My wife and I both have an Iphone 4 through verizon.  I updated my ios to 5.01.  Hers is still 4.3.10.  Since updating mine the bluetooth feature have gone crazy.  When I get in my truck (2008 Nissan Frontier) it just continually connects and disconnects with the built in blue tooth system in that vehicle.  I cannot make or take a call on the system it just keeps dropping the connection then re-connecting.  Funny thing is my wife's phone doesn't have this problem.  It connects and functions normally.
    I wanted to just roll back ios 5.0.1 but I've found out you aren't allowed to do that.  Nissan has no updates for their bluetooth system either.
    I have gone the extreme of completely wiping out my iphone and re-installing everything fresh and that has done nothing.  I have also tried completely deleting all the phone saved in the truck's system and re-setting them up and that too has done nothing to fix the problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion?  I have to think that there is something in ios 5.0.1 that is messed up with bluetooth.

    Interesting discussion. I too am having connection issues with an original iPad. I have an olde' linksys wrt54gs router with a Linksys RE1000 wireless extender (repeater). I can connect to the router just fine when I'm in range but can't use the repeater signal on this iPad only. Even when I'm right on top of it. One thing that may have helped is changing from WPA2 to simple WPA encryption in the routers settings. So far (crosses fingers), it's working ok.

    My Macmail on all my Apple devices no longer works since updating yesterday to Maverick 10.9.1. I have restarted, deactivated and reinstalled gmail via Macmail on all my devices (Macbook Pro, iPod 5, iPad and iPhone 5s). On my mobile devices the "Checking for mail wheel" just keeps spinning and spinning. On my Macbook I can't even get through the initial sign-in stage before an "unknown error" pops up. I have enadbled via Gmail the IMAP and POP. Nothing works. Anyone have a similar problem, hear anything about this problem or have a fix? Thanks for your help!

  • Have anyone been having messaging problems since updating to iOS 6?

    Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 i could no longer send pictures to those who did not have an iPhone. Also I can only send pictures to other iPhone users thru iMessage. Another thing, when my iMessage is turned on it send iMessage text from my email address (Apple ID) instead of from my phone number.

  • Printer Problems since updateing to WIndows 8.1

    Before I updated to Windows 8.1 the other month everything was fine on my new laptop then I went to scan something from my HP Photosmart B109n and it didn't work because the driver was now missing and the HP app that replace the HP printer manager is useless.
    On the advice of the HP site I tried to download the new driver but it wouldn't go, it said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just restarts the computer but is still there afterwards. It turns out that the uninstall has gone missing from the current and the install is missing from the install program I have downloaded.
    As a last resort I used the sytem restore but not only has the printer issues not changed but now some of the pre-loaded apps won't work and are asking for the Developers Licence to be renewed.
    I am at a lost as to what to do next - please help!

    Your notebook isn’t known to me but in case of Win 8.1 update you should check this Toshiba update to Win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/
    There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your notebook and how to perform the step-by-step update to Windows 8.1
    Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after the Win 8.1 update installation!
    Regarding your printer issue:
    Every printer manufacturer provides own drivers for the Windows system.
    It’s not known to me if HP released compatible Win 8.1 drivers for the own Photosmart B109n printer but to be honest this issue isn’t related to the Toshiba notebook. If you have problems using HP printer in connection with Win 8.1, you should visit the printer manufacturer support page to get some workarounds and troubleshooting tips.
