Ever since the latest OS X update, my apps flash from active to inactive every few seconds.
Since the last OS X update 10.10.3, my apps flash from active to inactive and back again. It happens with all of my open applications, and it keeps me from typing accurately because the app, flashes to inactive while I am trying to type.
When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Here is a recent thread where Glims was the problem:

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way I can proceed is if either restart Firefox (very annoying) or reduce the window and open it again. Please help!
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?
since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?
As i've posted in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
My big question here is :
why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

Ever since the last Microsoft Office update, I can't open some files
A couple days ago, I downloaded an update that said it modified some Microsoft Office code, and ever since that time I get errors when opening some Word and Excel files. Interestingly, when "the application quite unexpectedly" message appears and I try to report it to Apple, it then tells me that the reporting process quit (this makes me very nervous)!
How do I get my old Office reliability back?Sounds like you need to contact Microsoft Office for Mac technical support. If it was their Office update, they'd be better able to help you.

Ever Since the Last Apple Security Update...
i loaded the last Apple Security Update on 06/02, and since then i have had OSX quit unexpectedly (twice) and have had FireFox quit as well. i have also had the cursor freeze and have had to force quit and restart my machine. My machine also seems to run a little hotter lately and i have not heard the fan come on for quit some time-- all of this since i downloaded the last update.
Has anyone else seen this in their machine? is this a sign of a coming apocalypse?
Anybody? Bueller?
Thanks for any helpful tips...

If you did not Repair Disk Permissions in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility before and after installation, go ahead and do so now. Here's how:
While booted from your internal HDD
Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
Next, try starting up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash, restart normally and log in. See if this helps before we take any other meansures.

Why is my iphone 4s restarting ever since the latest update?
I've had several different issues that I've noticed since updating to the IOS 5.1 last night over Wi-Fi connection. First, my phone will restart itself when I receive a call from a saved contact. I then have to wait for the phone to restart and then call them back. Once I do call them back, my call screen is disable, like when you're on a call and hit the home button to check email or safari at the same time. Only when I tap the green bar at the top of my screen to return to the call it does nothing. I'm unable to place a call on hold, mute, or use any of the buttons that are usually available. Its like the screen is locked in that view or something. The least important issue but the first I actually noticed is that my TextFree app isn't working. The app won't startup after the login screen and just sends my back to the app page its on. Any ideas guys???
What is a fresh restore? I'm sorry but I'm not up on the lingo LoL but I'll give it a shot if I know what I have to do>

I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!
Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work. -
Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).
You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem. -
