Every time i update, bad things happen

If I allow firefox to update - bad things happen. Last was yesterday when I could not access any website for more than 2-3 seconds - finally had to restore system.- previous time could not access yahoo, etc.

Thank you to all that gave advice, none of the suggestions worked I'm afraid........ but I did find a solution to the problem, by accident......... Doing a normal sync still does not work...... So what I have done is, limited each file to just 1000 photos, and have ended up with 32 files now........... I have ticked the boxes "Sync photo's from, selected files" and I sync with the first file ticked, then sync again with the second ticked, and so on, I know its long winded but they are now all on my ipod

How can my ex on a separate plan with a separate apple id receive my iMessages every time an update or phone change happens?

Every time an update happens or we change phones my ex's iPhone and mine get linked somehow and he receives my messages. If we are no longer using the same apple id and are on separate phone plans how can this be happening? I have changed my password but this keeps happening. We do not share a computer for it to be iTunes? I have called and got it fixed, but it happens repeatedly anyway...any ideas?

Once our information was appearing under each other's iMessages so we went to the apple store and called the phone service and they said it was fixed, but it happened again. Their information is no longer under my iMessage; however, they are receiving my iMessages with every update and I am not able to know if my information is showing under theirs. Also I deleted every device on find my iPhone except my own.

Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
Thanks.

Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
*If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.

MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
Is there any way to stop this from happening without
disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

Every time I update Firefox, my settingfor yahoo is not recognized. Why?

At the top of my screen I have settings for yahoo, amazon, news,etc.
If I click on the one for yahoo, Firefox says UNRECOGNIZED.
This happens every time I update Firefox. From three past updates and before FIREFOX did not do that.

If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

Every time I update iOS caller ID is deactivated

Every time I update iOS caller ID is deactivated in Settings > Phone > Show my caller ID
That means that I have to activate the setting after every update. Why is this bug happening, can I do anything to prevent it, and how will I notify Apple about this error?

Speaking very generally, each update of any software tends to have a few more features than its predecessor, and should be expected to take more space.
But putting that aside, if you get told "I didn't have any more MB left!", then there is a real issue, because you should never allow your iPad to get that close to being full. At a minimum, you should keep 10-15% of the space free.

Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install. It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer.
I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process. I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software. I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean. Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

Every time I update Firefox I can't get back on the internet. I have to uninstall and go back to an old Firefox.

I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

Check your firewall settings.

Every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I try to restart

every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

IPod messes up every time I update.

Hey all. I have an iPod touch 3rd Generation. I just updated it yesterday to the new iOS. When I updated it gave me an error message saying (usually 9 or 37) and told me I'd have to restore my iPod. I had to restore it on a totally different computer...because it won't restore on my laptop. It has no problems restoring on the other computer, then I add all my stuff (apps/music/videos, etc) back on from my laptop. I have this issue every time I update my iPod. Am I the only one out there with this problem??

Sounds like some kind of conflict.
Next time, try turning off any anti-virus or spyware software. Also, try plugging it into a different USB port - and don't use a hub. Be sure you are using a 2.0 USB cable.
Maybe that will solve your problem.

Stop Installing MCafee Antivirus every time you update!

Getting really tired of having to uninstall this garbage every time you update. I am updating flash, which is annoying enough as one of the most nonsecure programs on the internet. Piling more garbage on top of it is just insult.
Please give an option to not install McAfee. I don't need it.

Use the FULL installers to update:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

please help! i am at a loss here.
thank you, movie lady

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

Installer update method changes every time i update an adobe product!

hello, it is REALY anoying, that the user have to set/chose the update method e.g. "Notify me to install updates" EVERY TIME you update adobe products!!! Because Adobe Installer resets these settings every time, they offer a new product update (adobe flash or adobe reader e.g.).
I dont wont to "Allow Adobe to install updates"!!! I only want to be notified about new updates! So I have to read every time the options again to choose the right option.
Another alternative would be to me, not to install product updates, but I think this is not what adobe wants the user should chose.
Best Regards,
Tom
