Does the 10.6.4 update fix the freezing issues with the i5 & i7 MBP's

Since I am on the fence about buying a new 15" MBP I would be interested to know what effect the new update has on the latest MBP's and the freezing issues some are experiencing.

The "freezes" that are mentioned in other threads here appear to be due to a wide variety of different issues. Looking at the relevant posts I'd reckon about one in thirty of them at the most are due to an unusual issue with a few of the current MBPs. The other 29 are simply the regular array of things that cause freezes on any computer - out of date software, corrupted directory structures, the migration of already corrupted software from older computers, duplicate or corrupted fonts, badly written third party software, the occasional shonky HD or RAM module, etc etc etc.
THis is a non-issue from what I can see. Some people may well benefit from updating to 10.6.4 , but probably only because it replaces some files that have been corrupted for other reasons in the past.
I certainly wouldn't be putting off getting a new MBP on the basis of the stuff here. Sure, some people will experience "freezes", but there doesn't really seem to me to be anything out of the ordinary being reported here with respect to the new MBPs. There are a thousand and one things that can lead to "freezes". In a few cases it probably is due to a hardware problem with one component or another. In the vast majority, however, it will simply be because of the common old "thousand and one shocks that silicon chips, magnetic storage and software developers are heir too"!

    Hi Chanh
    I have not come upto the level of testing the file generated with IRS.  Will keep you posted what happens there.
    Shannon,
    Apparently the new version of 1546868 fixes the issue for box number 7.  But if the amounts are huge in box numbers 1 or 3 or 15a (they use these in my client) then the amount overflows to the nearby box.  So we have again opened an issue again with SAP & will keep you posted withwhat SAP comes up with.
    Thanks
    Regards

  • Anyone else having freezing issues with the new photo app on yosemite?

    Whenever i send a pic or video directly from photos....it kinda freezes and won't let you do much more. I have to force quit every time

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I have an issue with the tabs and windows disappearing....?

    I have a constant problem with Firefox now. I notice that with Firefox 4 and 5 there has been a reoccurring problem with the tabs and windows closing on their own. If I have more than one window open, one of them will suddenly disappear and I wont see the tab at the bottom anymore until I click out of the one I am currently on. It is very annoying and only when I get out of Firefox completely will it sometimes reappear. Even more frightening is the fact that when I move the mouse downward to the bottom of the page the page shuts out as if I clicked out of it.
    I am wondering if this is a security issue meaning some type of malware or virus that is manipulating my browser or is this a common issue that has some unknown cause? I would like to know what the cause is and how it can be fixed because it annoys me all the time. Please help!!

    No Issue with the voltage in general. iPad is being charged via USB.
    1. If you connect it directly to the computer - no problem.
    2. If you want to charge it directly from the power socket you will need this:

  • IMac isn't loading a specific website (can't connect to that server), regardless of browser, though the same website will load on other computers on same network. Is it an issue with the iMac's settings?

    Our iMac isn't loading a specific website (we get a message saying it can't connect to that specific server), regardless of browser (I've tried it in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox). However, the same website, which is for a major medical provider, loads without any issue on our other computers on the same wireless network. Is it an issue with the iMac's settings? All other websites seem to be loading without issue on the iMac.

    ... Is it an issue with the iMac's settings?
    Possibly. Make sure you are not using a proxy server. Look in Safari Preferences > Advanced > Proxies > "Change Settings..." This will take you to the applicable Network Preferences. Make sure that nothing is selected in the "select a protocol to configure" list. It should look like this:
    Still not working?
    Locate your Terminal app. It is in your Utilities folder. Open Terminal.
    In Terminal, copy (triple-click) and paste the following line:
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
    This will produce a list of all your account login items.
    While you are in Terminal, copy (triple-click) and paste the following line:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    This will produce a list of all non-Apple kernel extensions. There will be few, if any.
    Post the results of the above.

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

    So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver.  Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out.  Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2.  Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.

    Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
    I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
    I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

  • Does any1 hav issues with not being able to send pic from the camera roll. I've already had issues with over exposure that the new update fixed but it left me with this issue.

    Since getting my iPhone 5 I've had camera issues. To start with it was over exposure, the camera was flashing too early and leaving me with dark pictures. After a failed reset I visited the apple store, where they told me it was a known problem and apple were working on a update to fix the issue and it was just a
    waiting game. Once the update was available I did it immediately and the problem seemed to be fixed. I've now noticed that from the camera roll I carnt send a picture to mms. It gives me the option but the screen completely freezes after I've chosen it. The only way to access my camera roll again is to completely close the camera roll down and reopen it. The strange thing it it will let me send it as an email and upload taught to Facebook etc just not as an mms. The other strange thing is if I go to msgs and add a photo I'm successful but if I try to edit the photo I want to send 1st then I get the same issue as the camera roll. I also have issues with the shutter taking ages to open. Is anyone else havin these issue before I go back to the apple shop. A complete reset hasn't worked

    Photo Stream only handles images and your videos are not uploaded or shared with other devices.
    Use iPhoto to import from your device. It can bring in the videos and image files.

    Hi
    Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
    And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
    I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.
