Difficulty after installing update last night

Received our imac last Monday. Installed update last night. Internet is ridiculously slow now. Help?

Steve, thanks for your suggestions. In the future I will do so. My husband called Apple yesterday afternoon, where the problem was stumping everyone as the update did not have anything to do with Safari. Went to a higher level programmer, they had my husband remove and reinstall Safari. When I got home, I tried the internet on our old mini-laptop. Still horrible speed, but shouldn't have been affected by the iMac update. Called our ISP and there appears to be a problem with our modem or connection. Too many wireless items on our modem appears to be an issue! Anyone have suggestions on a modem which can handle about 7 wireless items (2 x ps3, 2 x ds, 2 computers and a wii)?
So happy that it was just a coincidence that the problem cropped up after the update. Being a 1 week iMac user had us concerned we'd ruined it!

After firefox update last night to 36.0.4, it is not starting?

After firefox update last night to 36.0.4. I cannot open Firefox. It says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open.
I try to close it under task manager, it is not listed under process but under details - Cannot end task, as it says access is denied.
I try to look for help on the net. It says to delete the file PARENT.LOCK, It says action cannot be complete as the file is open in Firefox.
I try to shut down my computer, even log out on my current user but cannot delete the file Parent.lock.
I am using a win 8.0
The easiest way is to uninstall and to install a fresh application, but will this wipe out all my bookmarks etc....
Thanks,
Coco

Hi Coco,
Thank you for your question, since the parent.lock file cannot be removed it is possible to create a new profile:

Music not playing after IDT update last night (HP automated update) How can I roll the patch back?

I was notified of an HP update last night. After the update completed, Itunes/MS media player/You-Tube....applications are unable to play. Checked Installed programs and the only update listed was one for IDT drivers. How can I roll back to the previous version?
This question was solved.

I had the same issue, after reading several other posts with the same issue, I restored to before Oct 29th. Now my sound works just fine and my games that were also going hinky started to work as well.
It would be nice if HP fixed this issue before sending up another update. It is very annoying to have undo what they did so my computer works correctly.

After Firefox updated last night, I am no longer able to use it. "Unable to connect" I have added it back through the firewall, nothing works. Help!

Starting last night, after an update, I am no longer able to use Firefox.
"Problem loading page"
"Unable to connect"
Unable to connect"
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at.....
I have tried various things, even uninstalled and re-installed, took it out of the firewall, and added it back in. But nothing is working.
Please help!
Thank You

Hello Mara, see if the next is helpful : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]
also, try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and check firefox again.
(If works in Windows Safe mode then probably you have problem with other software, like security software or maybe a system driver, that is running on your computer).
thank you

After System Update last night, the system will not boot with IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504 error

I have had Lion for a 2, 3 months on the iMac 27 inch purchased last October (2011). Last night I chose to update the system, and deselected iMoves update because it was 1GB, and chose only 4 updates, including iTunes, Safari (i think)... But the update says error, and ask to restart the system (it won't restart itself, so I waited 30 minutes, and then pressed the Power button for 10 seconds, to let it power down, and press Power again to power it up).
However, after that, the system failed to boot up, showing a
panic(cpu 0 caller .....)" "Unable to finder driver for this platform: \"ACPI\". ... xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504
This is not typical of the upgrade process. So I searched the Internet forIOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504 and some people said it is a hard drive error, but then I powered down and pressed Options when booting up, and was able to boot to Windows 7 (bootcamp)... and was able to boot to the "Recovery", which let me choose
Restore from Time Machine Backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get Help Online
Disk Utility
what should I do now to fix it so that it can boot again?

This error is caused by one of the updates you applied, namely the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2. Many people have been affected by it, including me. I did what Linc Davis has suggested above to fix it. The most extensive discussion about the problem, with ways to fix the problem, is here:

Firefox and Adobe problems after Flash update last night

OK, this is a non-Apple question, but I haven't found any solution yet.
Everyone knows that to run the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" in Firefox, you had to open in 32-bit mode. I did and that plug-in, plus the "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF 1.2" extension worked just fine running Firefox 12. Tonight I got notification that I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. I did (quitting and restarting Firefox after the installation).
THEN up popped a warning - Firefox suggesting that I disable the NPAPI plug-in and finding out here that Firefox was disabling the plug-in. So I disabled it, restarted, etc. Then I found that the Create PDF plug-in would crash if I tried to save a web page as PDF within Firefox.
Is there any way to go BACK to the older Flash plug-in? That seems to be at the root of my problem. I can use PDF Browser plug-in in Firefox to display PDF files but what I really need is the Create PDF extension back (it's strangely absent from Safari - at least I've not been able to find it).
Any help out there?
Thanks,
Clinton

Create PDF or save as PDF?
Pete
Pete,
I can always use the PDF creator "Save as Adobe PDF" that is available from the Print menu and added by Acrobat Pro X, but it does not always save the hyperlinks correctly, etc., where the Adobe Create PDF does a fantastic job... I'd just like to have it back. It does not show up in the Safari extensions/add-ons for some reason.
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Clinton
Then you may well have to go to the Mozilla Forums on this one. As I say, I steer clear of Firefox because of all it's bulky extentions.
Good Luck
Pete

How do I recover a game app from iCloud on iPad before ios7 update last night?

How do I recover a game app (dragonvale) from iCloud backup on ipad2 after ios7 update last night?

Hi there Bradhawkins,
It sound like the game may be saving data to iCloud. The article below has information on managing iCloud data.
iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12794
Remove iCloud documents using your iOS device
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.

Wifi trouble immediately after installing the 4.1 update last night

I've had flawless operation of my iPod Touch 3rd generation for a long time, including after the 4.0 update. Since updating to 4.1 last night, I've had nothing but continuous Wifi problems. Upon a fresh reboot, the Wifi will work great. Then after not using the iPod for some period of time (can be as short as a few minutes) when I go back to use the iPod, the Wifi no longer works. Wifi remains connected, and the blue Wifi icon glows with a strong signal strength. Once I initiate something that accesses online data, the gray "rotating circle" turns next to the blue Wifi signal icon - and the gray circle turns, turns, and turns some more. There is no data throughput at all. My Wifi at home is fine. While the iPod is in never-never land, I can freely browse the web on my laptop using Wifi. Online speed tests show me getting over 11 MB / sec on my cable modem. I have to go into the Wifi settings and say "forget this network" and then redo the connection. It will work again for a short time. I've done the "forget this network" and then also the reset network settings, but it failed again within an hour. Nothing has changed on my network side. Anyone else having Wifi problems after the 4.1 update last night?

I've been having the same issues for the past week since downloading latest version. My Safari connections have been very erratic especially every evening from around 930-1100 pm the connection becomes even more unpredictable, I have to keep switching my iTouch on and off to regain access then by 11 pm that's it, end of service! And up pops a message that the safari server is no longer responding! I notice the following morning that emails sent around 1030 pm have finally downloaded around 130 am, so this must be around the time the server reactivates. Has someone set up the Safari server on a timer for those using the iTouch? My laptop connections work fine, so it's not my router or ISP connections. This is getting really annoying!

Wont boot after update last night *FIXED*

After I installed the latest update last night (3/23/13) my phone just sits at that red looking eye. There's animations like the lightning moving around, but wont actually boot. I've tried soft rebooting and the recovery boot, but still nothing. Looks like I'm going to have to take it back to the store and lose all my information. Absolutely ridiculous!
Well, for some reason I cant reply to threads, so Im updating the solution here.
Took the phone to the store and the Tech Specialist said the reason it was hanging up is because I have my phone encrypted when you shut it off. SO, basically if you have your phone pass worded, you have to factory reset your phone and lose all of your data. And, as an added bonus, you wont be able to access your microSD card either, since it is encrypted! The card thinks your connecting it to a different device, and even after entering your password you still cant access it. Wonderful! The only way for the card to recognize your factory reset phone is to reformat it. Brilliant! *** is wrong with the eggheads at Google??? I was the 5th person to goto the store with this issue, and the store had only been open 30 min. NOTE TO VERIZON! PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OR OTHER MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS CLUSTER! This was a huge waste of time, AND data loss!!!!!

Happy day DMONIC,
I know that it has been a few days since your device has been rebooting. budone gave an excellent recommendation. May I ask have you tried a factory reset yet? I know you may be concerned about your personal info. The great news is that your contacts and calendar entries are safely backed up on your Gmail account. I would suggest verifying that you info is preserved online beofre doing the reset. If you have already resolved this issue or need additional assistance then please advise, just in case more help is needed.
Thank you...

My iphone 5 will not turn on after iOS 7.1.1 update last night

I have tried to push and hold top button & home button at the same time. The phone just seems dead. It was charging all night and shouldn't be a battery problem.

I first tried to update last night when I got home from work. It told me it couldn't update unless I had 50% or more battery life or be pluged in. So I waited until I went to bed and pluged it in to charge overnight (like I always do) and set it to update, figuring by the morning it would be finished. When I woke up this morning it was dead. I've tried plugging it into different chargers (car, work, home) but I get nothing.
I've tried searching the internet for other sites for help, but I haven't come up with anything useful. I was hoping I could get some help here before I went to the Apple store after work.

I updated last night and now my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and I don't want to do a factory restore!

How do I get out of recovery mode, that my ipod touch suddenly went into, after updating last night? It does not recognize my ipod anymore and I don't want to restore it back to factory conditions. I have tons of things on the ipod and don't want to lose them! Is there any other way to get out of this 'recovery mode'??

No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
- A reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If you can't turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored. Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured cannot get any further please help!!

Hi I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error cannot restore this ipod please help thanks

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
