Dock Problem after 10.5.3 Update

Hi!
I'm having a 10.5.2 Server running and serving profiles over OD. The basic configuration was a 10.5.2 Server with 10.5.2 Clients. This worked perfectly.
Now I've updated the clients to 10.5.3 and now I have several problems:
The Dock is "locked": If I remove icons from the dock or add some and log out and in again, the dock is in the "basic configuration" of OS X again. I've tried to delete ~.dock.plist and ~.dock.db and so on but no success.
An other thing is, that for example Spaces can't be enabled. If I enable spaces, log out and in again, it's disabled again.
In one account there was also a problem with the homedirectory: in the finder at the left side were all icons from the homedirectory gone....
If I create a new account, all this problems don't appear.
Any ideas?
Thanks
felix
PS.: sorry for my weird english...

Hi Joby!
Thank you for your fast answer but sorry, your suggestion did not help .
But now I know what's the problem:
For each account were several settings (software update server, mobile account) in the workgroup manager set. If I disable all settings for an account, the dock problem and the spaces problem is solved.
Ok, now I know what's the problem, but I can't disable these settings for all time.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
The server is currently running 10.4.11.
I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
Thanks
Mike

on the other machines that didn't update to 10.5.6. They are able to search all shares. My 10.5.6 machine can only search localhost and Jukebox ...I ran mdutil on the 10.5.6 machine, here are the results:
$ mdutil -s /Volumes/*
Indexing disabled.
/Volumes/Jukebox:

Same problem here, upgraded to 10.5.6 and cannot search our apple server running tiger. Windows shares on 2003 server works fine. Will an upgrade of our Apple server to Leopard solve this issue? Is there an easy way to "uninstall" 10.5.6 without reinstalling the computer
Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can't search my network servers

Hi all...
I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips
Updated to 10.5.6, no longer able to search through networked shares

After upgrading our workstations from Mac OS 10.5.5 to 10.5.6, we no longer receive Finder search results from our file server that runs Mac OS X Server v.10.4.11.
Are there any other solutions available other than rolling the workstations back to 10.5.5 or upgrading the file server to 10.5.6

3 Problems after jb 4.3 update

stockmail exchange active sync shows only headers - no mail content
bluetoth connect to my HTC One S didn´t work
screen flickers when using virt. keyboard
since everything worked well with 4.2.2 and there was no help from sony i decided to do a rollback
!* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

hi.
I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

Firefox creates a new dock icon after an add on updates

Often, after I update an add on, Firefox creates a new, temporary icon in my dock. The old icon is still in the dock and clickable to reopen Firefox, but once Firefox opens, the temporary icon reappears unless I replace it with the new icon after every update.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I think about a year ago, but only after an add on updates and I don't know if it happens with all updates or not.

can't believe that i was the only person to have the problem, but no replies whatsoever suggest i was. have now upgraded to 5.0 where the problem has not yet reoccurred.

Another major problem after 10.4.8 update

Hi everyone,
I've never had any major problem with any Mac OS update yet until I had the crazy idea to install the 10.4.8 update last week. I wish I would have never done this. This is also the first time I wish I had Windows since I can't remember such a big screw up with any Windows update I've seen.
But back to the problem, after the installation on my old 12" Powerbook (1.33GHz with an additional 1GB of RAM) the system got really slow. The harddisk was accessed all the time, so after reading some forums people said that Spotlight would run a re-index of the database which made sense to me. So I just let it run over night and the next day the permanent HDD access was gone, but whenever I tried to access a folder it took ages (HDD access again...). So I decided to reboot which took about 20 minutes until the desktop fully showed up and was useable. Again, I had HDD access all the time. After two hours or so it stopped again, but as soon as I clicked on something, for example a folder, it started again. At that point the Powerbook was simply not useable anymore because I couldn't even start a program.
So I start browsing through several forums and many people suggested to re-install the 10.4.8 combo update again. That's what I tried, after a while I could only hear the HDD access running and running. The installer said 29 minutes left and progress bar didn't move any further. I had it running for over a hour like that. I couldn't abort it, I could start no other software, nothing. It still showed 29 minutes and the HDD was accessed all the time.
So I restarted the Powerbook since this obviously wasn't going anywhere. Apple logo came up, the little gear spinning thing as well and of course I could hear the HDD being accessed. After two hours of doing this I aborted and decided to boot into safe mode to install the combo update. Again, same situation. HDD running like crazy and Apple logo, but no login screen coming up.
So I decided to boot from the Install disk and have the disc utility check the HDD... but of course after selecting the language and clicking continue at the screen when the HDD first shows up it starts to access the HDD... I can't select the HDD, I can't even get to the DU, nothing. It's been running like that for hours now. It seems like whenever the HDD is involved in something the accessing starts and just keeps running without any result. The HDD is getting very hot already.
I've never run into such a problem before, so I'm kinda clueless what to do next. I don't mind to reinstall, but I have some files on that HDD that I need (some notes in text files, some emails and so on).
So at this point I can't boot into OS X to access the HDD and I can't use the installer disk to access DU or even reinstall if I wanted to. I don't think the HDD is broken, this only happened after the 10.4.8 update. It just seems that every HDD access takes hours and hours longer than it should.
What options do I have to get my data from the disk? I'll try to install OS X to a new external drive tomorrow (need one with firewire first). If that doesn't help I thought about pulling out the HDD from the Powerbook and hook it up to my MacMini or an iMac.
If anyone has any other suggestion or solved a similar problem before, please let me know.
Best,
Stephan

Problems after recent slew of updates

After the recent mass of updates through pacman...I have a few problems. My UPS monitor applet doesn't show up in the taskbar anymore...however it's still being detected, and I can view the status of it w/ "apcaccess status". Another problem I'm having is now ALSA's PCM channel is all messed up again. I've tried the usual fix...blacklisting all the sound modules except for the sound card driver and snd-pcm-oss...but that doesn't work either. Anybody else seeing these problems as well??

Update: Found a fix for the mouse sensitivity issue. The new xorg server includes new options to put into your xorg.conf file. More information can be found here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Docum … 34190b732d .
As far as the option I put into my xorg.conf file to fix it was this:
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "3"
Hope this helps people in the future.

Problems after 10.6.8 Update?

Ever since I updated my Mac to 10.6.8, I have been having problems with my MBP freezing. It will freeze, then come back and I have to re-launch finder. Also, MS Outlook 2011 freezes when I delete mail, or simply try to quit it(Force Quit). Safari freezes when it opens up too, and it does what a PC does upon login, "warm up" so i can no longer start doing what ever immediately. Is anyone else having this problem?

My 2011 MBP 13" i7 has had no issues whatsoever after
10.6.8 update. However, the process I went through was
as follows:
    1. Booted my MBP from a clone on a Firewire drive.
         (hard drives are so cheap these days there is no
          excuse not to have a clone or TM backup)
    2. Ran a repair disk on the internal drive using
         Disk Warrior. Disk Utility repair disk will work
         as well.   I use Disk Warrior because I can also
         run a check for corrupt files.
    3. Repaired permissions on the internal drive.
    4. Rebooted to internal drive.
    5. Updated my clone, so that I have a clean system
         to revert to.
    6. Downloaded the Combo update and ran it.
    7. After reboot, repaired permissions.
Now, for those of you who are having slow systems after
the update, check process monitor to see what is sucking
up the CPU time. Then go from there.
For those of you with system freezing issues, boot in safe
mode. If the problems go away, then some driver or process
is being loaded at normal boot that is causing the problem.
Also, if you are using any "add ons" to applications such as
Safari or Mail, disable them, if you can, and see if the issue
persists.
With all this said, yes my MBP is running just fine with 10.6.8,
but my 2010 Mini has annoying audio issues with the update.
There may be more on it, but the audio issues are enough
for me to go back to 10.6.7, since this is part of my
entertainment system.

Printing problems after 10.6.5 update

Any news on a possible problem with the latest system update? After doing this the other day I can't seem to print correctly out of photoshop CS5. The print box seems to preview correctly but does not come out the way I want. The same file opened up on a 10.6.4 system will print good. I hear it may be the upgrade that happened. Is there a fix coming out soon? Or any ideas on how I can help my computer. Also, just in case you tell me to do this I already cleaned house on the preferences for photoshop.

Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
Symptoms;
-Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
-Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
-Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
-Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
-The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Martin

Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
Let us know.

Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage and FaceTime

After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

The only way to fix Xperia P problems after the jelly bean update!

After the jelly bean update my Xperia got slow, I could not answer phone calls, the call log took so much time to appear , I have tried uninstalling external softwares , reseting the phone , nothing worked. Finally I have downgraded the phone follwing the guidelines provided in this link - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/GUIDE-How-to-Install-Jelly-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sand...
Now my phone is fast , gallery is working fine , I can receive phone calls , no useless chrome by default , the google search widget works fast , the overall performance is much better. So I would recommend people to downgrade their Xperia p to ice cream sandwich and stick with it. OLD is GOLD!

What is your build version now after downgrading to ICS? I could not download 6.1.1.B.1.54 from the list which was best to me.. Please let me know quickly, I'm having the same **bleep** problem in JB.

Problems after applying latest Airport update.

I have a core duo macbook and was able to maintain a connection to my wpa secured wireless network before running software update a few days ago. After doing so, I can't maintain a connection. It simply stops working.
I disconnect, reconnect, and os x says there was a problem connecting to my network. I turn airport off then back on and still get the same error.
I am still able to sign onto other networks. My ibook and powerbook have no trouble connecting and maintaining a connection to my wpa secured network when my mac book is having trouble. I have not applied any software updates to those recently.
After rebooting the macbook, I can connect just fine. This happens once every 3 hours or so and is driving me nuts. Anyone know how to rollback the update or know what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Todd
MacBook 2.0ghz Core Duo (Black) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

hello,
i have the same problem after the update. i see some members on the forums suggesting to turn off the wifi security helps, but who wants to give free wifi to there neighbors. with my situation, my router has a settings for "WPA-AES" or "WPA-TKIP." i had my router set for "WPA-AES" before the update, things works fine, after the update i tried to delete the key chain entries of my wifi connection and the preferred network list, which didn't help, but changing my router to be "WPA-TKIP" helped. my connection works normally again, i can reboot, put the macbook to sleep and it reconnects fine.
hope this might work for you if you have this "TKIP" setting for you wifi router. i have a buffalo WZR-RS-G54 router, btw.
good luck.

SMS problem after 3.1.2 update

Hi,
I am not receiving any text messages after 3.1.2 update, and my phone has become too slow. Can one help please.
Thank you

Hello Carolyn,
Thank you for the warm welcome. As for my problem I did not want to be more specific but here are the gory details : I have 2 iphones. A 3GS with the 3.1.2 software and a regular 3G with the 3.0 software.
Whenever I plug the 3G, it appears in the 'My Computer' screen. I have access to the camera roll and can transfer my pictures to the computer folder I use for later iTunes transfer, using the Photos tab.
Now when I plug the 3GS, nothing happens. I checked the autoplay features based on the webpage you sent, and it did not solve the problem. Both phones actually have the same settings, and only the regular 3G works. I am now thinking about trying backup restore and/or factory defaults restore, to see if it fixes the problem.
What happens to the camera roll in these situations ? Is it included in the backup ? Otherwise I will have to find a way to get them :-/

Ipad Wifi problem after 7.1.2 update

Hey there! I noticed a big problem after updating my Ipad Air (Wifi Only) to iOS 7.1.2
When I put the device on standby It disconnects from the Wifi network, so I don't receive any push notification. Then when I start using the iPad again, the device reconnects immediately to the Wifi.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Iphone 4 problems after 7.0.2 update--Especially with keyboard entries

I am having serious iphone 4 problems after installing the 7.0.2 update. Mostly it is with use of the keyboard. Each key stroke takes about 8 seconds to show. It is truly disabling. Apparently many others have had various problems. The one thing the Apple Tech would tell me was that 7.0.2 cannot be uninstalled. I have restarted & reset. Settings shows I have more that 20 free GB of space, though I don't know if that's important.
Sure would appreciate help! Thank you!

settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
also turn off automatic app updated...
