Disk permissions messed up with latest update

I have a Mac Mini that started acting up after installing the latest Snow Leopard update (10.6.?). After downloading, installing and restarting it kept stalling on restart. The apple will show then immediately the screen will scroll a bunch of lines of unintelligible (to me) text and a warning box saying that this computer needs to be restarted and to hold down on the start button to shut it down and then restart. I do this and then it just keeps repeating. I then started up with my Snow :Leopard install disk. I used disk utility to verify disk, no problems, then I verify permissions, and a ton of issues pop up. I repair permissions, restart and the same thing happens on restart. So I thought the hard drive is messed up. This is a 4 year old computer, after all, and one that is almost always on. So I bought and installed a new 500GB Hitachi SATA hard drive, plus upgraded the RAM. I restored my system and files from Time Machine and then the same thing happened, the apple shows, and the restart stalls with those lines of text and a warning box saying I need to shut down and restart. So I installed the Snow Leopard from the disk, and everything was working fine, until I did the update again, and the same thing happened. Any suggestions? Do I just need to go and buy Lion, or is there a fix where I can install the latest update of Snow Leopard and not have it keep stalling on restart (I'm assuming this is all a disk permision issue, but not sure)

  • Cover Flow View messed up with latest update

    I was wondering if with the latest update anyone has had any problems with the cover flow view? It will not show anything when in that view (other 2 work fine). I have the apple software updater that updated to the latest version 7.1.1 and thats when the problem started.. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling with the same version downloaded from apples website - same thing. I ended up having to find a older version online 7.0.2 and it now works. So i tried to go back to the newer version and get the same thing. So now I am forced to run on 7.0.2 and can not use the Cover Flow Full Screen View..
    Thanks for any help..
    Chris

    Same issue with Mac Os X.3.9.
    I am running dual display. When passing cover view from main display to second it just comes back to song list view!! If I pass it half, I can keep half cover view and half song list view!! It looks this is from last update.
    It does not help you, but you can feel little less alone.
    Best regards,

  • I updated my iPhone with latest update.  I was asked if I wanted to communicate with iCloud for all my devices.  I chose yes.  I than am told I need to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email for apple to verify

    I updated both my iPad and iPhone with latest update.  Love it!  However, I wanted to use the find iPhone using iCloud feature.  From the beginning of update it kept prompting me to verify my account when I wanted to use iCloud ???  Apple kept telling me to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email from them.   And I'm not talking about verifying by my alternate email which I was successful at.

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • Can't repair disk permissions or run Mac Software update application

    I tried repairing the disk permissions and received the following error message:
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    Got the same error message when verifying the disk permissions. The verify disk option also failed.
    Whenever I run this application to check for updates, it just bounces in the dock and disappears. Then I get this error box that says "The application Software Update quit unexpectedly". It then gives me 3 options to "ignore, report, and relaunch".
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the fast reply. I was able to run the disk utility using the disk. But I got the same errors when I booted back up and tried to run the "repair disk permissions". Plus the "Software Update" program still crashed.

  • Latest Lync Client with latest update in one setup file

    Hello,
    We are building application using Lync SDK and we want to ship the Lync Client in our setup:
    so we added the lync 2013 client found here to
    our setup and its size 290 mb
    after we faced some problems we ended up to install the update found here  and
    its size 86 mb
    this makes the setup size bigger so our question is:
    Where we  can find the latest Lync 2013 client with latest update files included instead of adding
    a new update files to the setup?

    Lync 2013 client setup is part of the Office setup program on the installation media.
    Lync 2013 Basic is a downloadable client for customers who have a licensed, on-premises Lync Server 2013 deployment and customers who subscribe to a Microsoft Office 365 plan that does not include
    the full Lync 2013 client.

  • Deploy Internet explorer 11 with latest updates using SCCM 2012

    Hello,
    I'd like deploy IE11 with the latest updates included. The reason is that I want the IE 11 enterprise mode to be available as soon as IE11 gets installed.
    I don't want to wait an update scan cycle to trigger the installation of the updates.
    What is the best way to achieve that using SCCM 2012 ?
    Regards,
    Michel

    Hi,
    You have to capture the installation package with latest update by using IEAK 11 on the computer which has the IE11 with this feature.
    GP to enable this feature:
    Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu
    This is only for Windows 7 computer.
    As I mentioned above, for Windows 8.1, we can only deploy Windows 8.1 update 1 to add this feature to IE11, since there is no separated update can be installed for IE11 on Windows 8.1 to implement this.
    Windows 8.1
    Update (32-bit version)

  • Mac with latest updates: installation window appears, shows message "Retrieving install" for 3 seconds then installation window goes blank. Why?

    Mac with latest updates: installation window appears, shows message "Retrieving install" for 3 seconds then installation window goes blank. Why?

    Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows). I am having the same problem - Windows 7 seems to have installed but it goes to a blank black screen and there is nothing to do but force a reboot. I too have an i3 iMac...

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Black Screen in Mavericks with latest update (11.2.2 iTunes)

    I've had problems that were never fully resolved regarding waking my iMac from a sleep state. I would be able to hit the volume up and down buttons on my keyboard, hear the tones when the volume was changed, but the screen would remain black no matter what I would do (including resetting PRAM and hard resets, etc.). Eventually I just had to set it so that the computer never went to sleep, and that solved the problem. Or, more appropriately, avoided it.
    Anyway... it had been working fine with that adjustment, until this latest software update. Ironically, the update is only for iTunes, so I'm not sure exactly what could've happened. No settings were changed or anything, but here's what it's doing:
    The white screen comes up with the apple logo, then the progress bar that shows it's installing the update comes up. It stays up until the progress bar completes, then the screen promptly goes black.
    I've tried doing the hard reset thing, or whatever it's called, where you unplug and hold down the power button. And I've also reset the PRAM. Regardless of what I do, every time the iMac reboots, the white apple installation of software screen pops up and tries to reinstall the update again and again. Then it goes to the black screen.
    I also tried starting it in safe mode, and even that didn't seem to work, since it's mid-update.
    I THINK it may be related to the problem that I was having before (which was not ever solved by bringing my iMac into TWO different apple stores/genius bars), even though I can't test the volume thing... since I think it's getting stuck in the middle of installing the update, and doesn't have the ability to change volume in the middle of all that.
    Hopefully this is clear.  Thanks in advance for any help!
    PS - There's a slight chance I'm wrong about what the update is. It doesn't make ANY sense to me for it to be doing this obviously OS X update when 11.2.2 is supposed to just be an iTunes update. Perhaps it's the latest of the Mavericks updates and I'm just behind due to being out of town. No way for me to check, since I can't get past the update screen to check that stuff. Sorry!

    You can test the startup disk ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
    Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.
    If you cannot access the Disk Utility app in /Applications > Utilities
    Shut down your Mac then wait about ten seconds.
    Then restart while holding down the Command + R keys. Then you can use Disk Utiility from there to repair the startup disk.

  • Very disappointed with latest update.

    Ever since latest update ipod crashes whenever I try to use major apps. I am using an Ipod touch 4g and am planning on purchasing the newer 5g. But, if I can expect the same problems I won't bother. PROBLEMS: Crashing of Itunes, App store, Maps, Youtube, and ABC player! I unerstand that there is likely nothing I can do. However Apple needs to know there are many unsatisfied users of 4g ipods and older.

    Hello Moiz,
    We're just other users here trying to help, you can call Apple to try to get it fixed, but might try this...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Safari Crashes with latest update - Mac OS X 10.4.11

    I've been having a similar problem as many users appear to be having from this latest update. However, none of the solutions that I have found have worked thus far in my situation.
    All the users login to the server (also 10.4.11) via LDAP, with home directories mounted from that server.
    Neither the local administrator account and another local test account have issues with launching Safari on each of the clients. However, all the LDAP accounts have issues where Safari crashes upon startup.
    Also, when logged onto my personal account directly on the server, it does not have an issue launching Safari, but when I go to a client, Safari still crashes.
    I have gone through the permissions repair on the clients and the server (though it will not let me perform a permissions repair on any partition other than the OS partition ... the user home directories are on a separate partition).
    Any ideas?

    HI,
    all the LDAP accounts have issues where Safari crashes upon startup.
    Possibly third party Safari add-ons that aren't compatible with Safari 5. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Also could be corrupted Safari preferences. Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Experimented: iPS with latest update "conflicts" with Intel Mac mini

    Hello everyone.
    Please see my earlier post first as "background story":
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=602573
    So I have 2 1Gb iPod Shuffles, one mine, one my sister's. My sister's, the 1st time I plugged into her new Intel Mac mini, it asked for an iPod Update, I clicked "Yes" and proceeded with the update.
    After that, I set the iPS with Disk Mode, it appears on the Desktop, when I launched or inside iTunes, once I hit the "Autofill" button, the shuffle unmount and disappear from the desktop immediately, leaving behind a 'warning message' with red exclamation mark, the same when you pull out a thumb drive or turn off an external drive, without unmounting them first.
    My own shuffle, I did not apply the latest iPod Updater
    When I bring the 2 iPS to my own iMac G5, both with same settings (Disk Mode etc) mounts perfectly on the Desktop, inside iTunes, I can 'Autofill' BOTH shuffles.
    When I plug my non-updated shuffle into my sis's Intel Mac mini, it mounts nicely, and when hit with Autofill, it does so nicely without "self-unmounting" at all.
    So in the end? I swap my shuffle with my sis, and make sure she never ever update the shuffle, at least for the time being.
    So what does this show?? That the iPod shuffle with the latest update may have a conflict of instability with Intel-based Macs??
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi Howwow,
    To add a detail: my updated Shuffle works like a charm on my old iBook and not on my new Intel MacBook. So I am convinced it is in the Shuffle/Intel combination. I did try undoing the update on the shuffle (reverting back to 2005-11-17), but that made no difference on my Intel MacBook.
    Regards
