Exc_bad-access (0x0001) after update

My iMac has performed flawlessly for years UNTIL I upgraded to 10.4.9. All but the most simple programs quit right after starting or won't open at all! (Programs like TextEdit work as well as Safari IF and only IF I'm connected to apple.com. Other sites cause it to quit as well.) The error report I receive contains the following message:
Exception: exc_bad-access (0x0001)
Codes: kerninvalidaddress (0x0001) at 0xaf11830.
I re-installed OS-X from the original disks and it works fine. So I'm hoping Apple will fess-up to their mistake and fix this upgrade. Right now my Mac is behaving like a Windows-based PC(!) with all kinds of OS problems. Appreciate anyone's input on this problem, but would really like to hear from Apple.. I'll call 800-SOS-APPL today, but don't expect the will want to do anything about it w/o $. THANKS.

You can't guarantee not losing that stuff. If the hard drive is shot, then you may have to replace the hard drive before you can install anything. That's why I ask, do you have a backup. If not, you may need to get some semblance of one in one of these ways:
1. Recover booting off Prosoft Data Rescue CD to an external Firewire hard drive.
2. Copy the information that is important to you using another machine as a host in Target Disk Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Use my backup FAQ* as a guide for copying user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
And remember, never to upgrade again without backing up your data first. It is not a question of if, but when user data, data corruption, or hardware failure causes drives to fail in their storage of your data. An upgrade failure is usually due to one of these causes.

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS again

That is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

The error message is: There was an error opening this document. Access denied.

Can't access internet after updating to firmware 7.3.1

After updating to firmware version 7.3.1, I lost the ability to access the internet. The AEBS thinks it has an internet connection (the light is green), but it does not. I have tried restarting the AEBS and my cable modem router.
I had the same problem with firmware version 7.2.1, and had to revert to 7.1.1.
I'd like to find a solution so that I can make use of Airdisk and Time Capsule.

Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

Wordpress,Wiki 403 access denied after update to 10.6.6

Hi
I have been running both wiki and wordpress blog on my macmini server without any problems.
After updating to 10.6.6 I can not get access to neither the wiki or the blog.
I can connect to the server with remote desktop and even using 127.0.0.1 or any other trick results in the same result in the browser:
Forbidden.
Both sites logs indicate error 403 permission denied.
I have no idea what to do now and I even google have not be able to help me.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated.
PS: I have tried to su chmod -R 0755 on the webserver folder.

I've had to change the ownership of all wordpress files/folders after certain updates. The owner of the wordpress folders need to be _www for wordpress to create files/folders for it's content management system.
Hope that bit helps.

Light Flow / Accessibility Problems After Update ..

OK Light Flow problem after update.... the problem is my Talk Back in Accessibility keeps turning on after i restart my phone i know it should not do that it only dose it when i have Light Flow - LED & Notification installed and Tturned on in Accessibility ..... i use Light Flow - LED & Notification to control my LED Notification becuse i hate the built in feature that came with the phone the default management keep the LED to dim hard to see ........ i have used the app ever scene i got the phone and never had a problem tell this crappy update JZO54K.I535VRBLMD3 / I535VRBLMD3 came out i also believe the update JZO54K.I535VRBLMD3 / I535VRBLMD3 that was pushed out made the Accessibility option bad / and everything else
The phone is new
i have hard factory reset it / battery pulled
it did it with old phone but did not do it before that update was pushed
i also got a (NEW) NOT REFURBED phone trying to solve the poor 4G LTE signal /battery life
and over all phone performance with no luck that update was a bad one and needs to be addressed
PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM >>>>> VERIZON SAMSUNG GOOGLE ( PLEASE )

yep, I had that same problem too, but found a work around. First I tried disabling the accessibility options (but that was no good, I like the light flow notifications). I read from the app (see bottom of opening screen):
I found the work around to be just getting a folder app from the play store - the only talking it was doing was "opening folder" "closing folder" (annoying as he!!)
See the second screen for what that says as far as options. My opinion - just get the folder app, it's easier.

Can't access Video after updating to IOS 4.2.1

I have just updated my iPod Touch 2nd gen and now every time I try and go on the Videos I just get a blank white screen, and it returns to the Home Screen.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to get the Videos working?

Update:
- after they gave me a new iPod Touch 3rd gen on factory 3.1, I synced and everything worked fine as I stated above (with 5 movies, 15 TV shows and about 1000 music videos).
- I upgraded to 4.2.1 and same thing happened, pressing music icon gives me white screen for roughly 10 seconds then back to home.
- I can access videos through music icon however.
- I then wiped everything and retored to factory on 4.2.1 and synced only Apps, movies, TVS shows... all worked well.
- When I synced music videos, I did them about 200 at a time this time around. Each time upon completion going back and pressing music icon. As I added more videos the wait time on the white screen after pressing videos icon got noticeably longer, until I got up to about 700-800 music videos, then it would just white screen for 10 seconds and back to home.
- I then started removing videos and the functionality came back, leading me to believe I have found a repeatable bug, which is what I will discuss with Apple shortly.
For those of you having the same issue, how many music videos do you have? Through trial and error I have found it to be around the 600-800 mark the video icon stops working.
Please try removing some of your music videos so you have about 200-400 and let me know if your functionality comes back.

Can't log on to my bank accounts or access gmail after updating to firefox 7

Hello
From yesterday i am unable to access log in tabs when I try to log on to my internet banking. Infact the gmail tab on firefox (version 7) main page can't be accessed. Every thing was ok few days ago. I think the problem is with firefox 7 update. Other browsers work ok.
This problem really needs to be resolved by firefox urgently

HT1600 Problems accessing iTunes after update?

Hi,
Just put my Apple TV through the update last night. After the update, I can no longer access iTunes related functions like ordering movies or tv episodes nor can I access my Purchased items. I checked my account info and all is well. I also tried other apps and all is well there too. I restarted the device but still have the issue.
Thoughts?

Try logging out and in to your iTunes store account.

10.5 "don't have enough access privs" after update

Everything has been peachy until I updated to iTunes 10.5 on my OSX 10.5.8. Now I get "you do not have enough access priveledges..." each time I open iTunes. Also, although I can access all my content yet, when I try to sync my iPhone, etc, it continually asks to authorize this computer but when I try it goes back to the permission problems.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions 3 times. I've restarted. I've done everything but nuke 10.5 and redownload. I'm worried about losing content. Any advice?

This is what I get when I try to authorize this computer:
"The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
This is getting extremely frustrating

Keychain Access hangs after update to 10.7.2. Any help?

I recently updated to OSX 10.7.2 and can no longer open the Keychain Access app. It hangs on startup. A side effect of this is that I can no longer access my department's WPA Enterprise network as network preferences cannot access the certificates stored in the keychain.
Please help!

Hello,
We are finding the same solution seems to work for the time being with our systems at the University I work at.
However, it is not ideal because it stops the Keychain from checking whether or not a certificate has been expired or revoked. The two settings, OSCP and CRL are both methods to make sure a certificate is still valid and should be trusted by checking up the chain to the issuer. If the issuer is on the internet and you are stuck in a captive portal then how can you check? I think Lion is getting into a catch 22 here.
You can set these values in the command line using the following:
To set the CRL settings:
defaults write com.apple.security.revocation CRLStyle -string OFF
To set the OCSP settings:
defaults write com.apple.security.revocation OCSPStyle -string OFF
The next time my test machine beachballs while trying to launch Keychain access, I am going to try this as a quick workaround myself. We are seeing a continual stream of students coming into our HelpDesk with this problem and the fixes above only work for a short period of time. Then it all breaks again.
I have our network security people looking into allowing the certificate checks for our systems to go even from the captive portal. I will report back any success or failure as a workaround for this method.
Having to set machines to not check for revokation of certificates seems like one more step closer to just throwing put the whole trusted certificate idea as a usable security method.
