Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking fro

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking from sleep. Is anyone else seeing this?

I am having the same problem with the screen not waking up after it goes to sleep. Once I was able to recover with pressing the power button just long enough to wake it but not restart. The other two times I had to power down and restart -- I also got the jagged screen graphics once.
I have been experiencing this since I installed the 10.5.3 update. It seems to be ok if I put the computer to sleep using 'Sleep' on the Apple menu, but if my screen saver comes on and it goes to sleep on its own, then I have problems waking it.
Frustrating - I don't like to power down and restart my iMac if I can avoid it.

  • I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectal

    I tried to update the latest software update for my MacBook pro (which was on 10/12) and after it started to update it restarted like normal but when it started back up it was running painfully slow and none oft programs will open.They all quit unexpectedly. iTunes microsoft word all of them quit unexpectedly. Help!

    Exact same problem with my 2010 MBP 2.4ghz 4gb ram 10.6.8. iTunes said update was needed, Software Update ran with various updates including a security update, truthfully didn't pay much attention, I always install the Apple updates. After the restart it took 3-4 times longer than normal to get to the login screen, same to get to the desktop but I'm familiar with that occurring on update restarts. Unfortunately it got worse from there. Performed a full shutdown and startup. Same long boot.  After the desktop finally loads every mouse button press received a 2 minute beachball. I use menu-meters and both processors are under 10%. Waited a few minutes for disk utilities to launch, repair permissions estimates 3 hours for a typical <10 minute process. Activity monitor shows nothing over 10% CPU most of the time however ReportCrash pops to the top often. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW zero problems until this update.

  • IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  Please help

    IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks.  Just completed another restore.  iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready.  That was 30 minutes ago.  iPad still won't start.  I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore.  What a crap product.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • After installing the newest update, when I try to open a saved page Firefox only opens the homepage. Reset didn't help.

    I am a web designer. I have saved pages that I update and upload to websites all the time. Now, after the latest updates, when I try to open these saved pages it only opens Firefox and loads the homepage. The saved page does not open. If I'm to keep using Firefox, which I would prefer, I need this functionality back.

    <blockquote>
    What do you have set up as the default application for .html files? Or are you opening another kind of file that isn't normally/automatically associated with Firefox?
    If you drag and drop the file onto a tab (which normally would replace the page there with the local file), what happens?
    </blockquote>
    I had tried all the suggestions. None of they helped. I can open the files by browsing for they after Firefox is open. I was able to spend some more time troubleshooting the issue yesterday afternoon. The issue has to do with the 64-bit file system. When I right click and select open with and then point it to the installation folder in the Program Files (x86) folder, it still won't open the file just opens to my home page. I did notice that when I was browsing for Firefox.exe that it defaulted to the Program Files folder not the Program Files (x86) folder. So I renamed the exe to LittleFox.exe and browsed for that exe and Firefox would then open the files as expected. So my guess is that it is a registry setting that is all the headache. I don't have time to run that problem down but will just use my workaround by renaming a copy of the exe and use that with my file association.
    Thanks

  • Macbook Pro HD died/not recognized after latest Java & airport update..

    Hi,
    After the latest Java & airport updates, my mbp won't startup.
    The only thing i see after the chime is the questionmark folder.
    Holding the option button during restart to choose the bootdisk doesn't show the harddisk.
    I've resetted pram & smc and that also doesn't fix it.
    The mbp was connected to the charger and the battery almost full.
    Hope somebody can help me, have been searching but didn't found no answers.
    Did found somebody on the forum with a similair/the same problem

    thanks in advance

    Antonio, I'm going to try the instal disk tomorrow(it's almost 02:00 over here, and i'm at my girls house). If the harddisk is recognized, i will try the hardware check and see what's wrong.
    Firewire mode is still working, so maybe with a little luck i can access it from my PowerMac. Did this before on my old Powerbook 12inch, when it gave up working properly.
    Can you believe this.. Because i needed all the space of my external hd, i copied all my music to my mbp's hd tonight.. didn't expect this to happen.
    Before i went to my girls house i was thinking about putting it all back, but couldn't wait..
    I don't think apple is going to replace my hd on warranty, it's more than 2 years old.
    My mbp has served well and i'm waiting for the arrendale 15 mbp's, when they arrive i'll order one and will swap the harddisk for a ssd. Then i can put the hd in my santa rosa mbp.
    But if you think i can try asking apple for a replacement harddisk, i will try..

  • HELP!  Can't boot after latest Apple Security Update (Released yesterday?)

    The latest security update, which came out yesterday (I think it's this update: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305530 ) has ravaged my Mac.
    I have a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25 MDD.
    I installed the update, and rebooted like it said.
    Once the computer came up, it got past the grey screen with the spinning wheel, the screen turned blue, right before it should present the login window... and then the grey (translucent) curtain slid down from the top, and a box in the center told me to hold down my power button and restart my computer.
    Now this happens EVERY TIME I TURN MY COMPUTER ON.
    I HAD a PERFECTLY RUNNING MAC BEFORE I INSTALLED THIS UPDATE. NOW IT'S COMPLETELY UN-USABLE.
    HELP! HELP! HELP!
    WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?
    I'm searching for bootable discs to try to get the Mac to come up so I can look at it. I haven't tried going in through single-user-mode (command prompt) yet. I came here first, because I need support FAST!!!
    By the way, before this update, I was completely up-to-date with my Apple patches/updates. I was running 10.4.9 (I don't remember the Build #, but I was CURRENT).
    Thanks in advance for any support (Apple?!?!)

    Ladies and Gentlemen:
    Sorry for the alarming post. I'm replying to my own post to let everyone know that I don't think the problem is the Security Update alone. For lack of anything better to do, I decided to try troubleshooting this problem by myself... and here's what I did:
    I booted the Mac in to Single-User mode, by holding down Command-S. Once in, I forced fsck to pass verification of the drive (fsck -fy). Then I mounted the root partition in Read/Write (mount -uw /). Once I had write access to the drive in the command prompt, I quickly decided to check out what applications and services were starting when my computer boots (/Library/StartupItems ; /Library/LaunchDaemons). From there I removed all third party applications and services. (I maintain a "StartupItems-Disabled" folder, and a "LaunchDaemons-Disabled" in the spirit of pre-OS X machines that had something similar in the System folder for extensions and control panels (if my memory serves me)... so that's where I put all the applications and services that I didn't want to boot (I moved them from the respective folders in to the "-Disabled" folders I had created).
    Anyway... after removing all the third-party software and services from Startup, I rebooted, and my Mac came up just fine. I'm going to sift through the logs to see if anything was written about what happened at boot all those times. With any luck I'll figure out which application or service wasn't playing nicely with the OS and/or Security Update.
    Good luck with your own endeavors. It's always scary when your Mac doesn't boot, so I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else (especially someone less technically inclined). I'll check the forums later to make sure no one else had similar problems... because I'm sure I could help them get to the bottom of their troubles.
    Cheers!

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

  • HT6030 Mail attachment folders after latest Mavericks Mail update

    Following the latest Mavericks Mail update, does anyone know how to stop a new folder being generated for each attachment?

    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.

  • Itunes SPOD after latest OS-X Update

    I recently installed the latest OS-X updates, and now when I launch iTunes, I get nothing but SPOD and have to kill the iTunes process. I have directly downloaded the latest iTunes application and reinstalled it, still SPOD on launch. I launched iTunes in Safe Mode, still SPOD. I moved the preferences file, still SPOD. I am totally out of ideas here. What else can I do or try to get iTunes to work?

    I should add that there are no more pending OS-X updates; I just checked again to be certain.
    Furthermore, potentially unrelated, my Internet connection was down for a few days, but has been restored for over 24 hours now. I have seen some iTunes weirdness on forums in relation to that, although I don't suspect that is my issue.
    My issue is a lot like the "Upgrade to 10.6.5 + iTunes 10.1 = iTunes stupor" thread in that my iTunes won't see any of my devices either, but he doesn't seem to have the same pinwheel issue. My iTunes is chewing up 22% of the CPU just sitting there until I kill the process from command line.

  • Magic keyboard stopped working after latest OS X updates (June 2013)

    My iMac: Just performed the latest OS X updates (M Lion) that appeared sometime late May or June 2013. I think the updates were some camera updates and iTunes, and some other things that needed a restart of the computer. After reboot the magic keyboard (that came with the iMac) stopped working. I couldn't enter the password on login screen. Funny thing was the keyboard seemed to be paired with the computer, as the light buttons and the volume buttons worked, but only them, nothing else responded.
    Even trying to restart/shut down the computer did not help. Actually shutting down the computer did not work, the spinning thing spun for a while and then the login screen reappeared. No progress.
    Fix: In the end I hit the physical power button and forced a shut down. After booting up, the keyboard worked again.
    Maybe this can help someone.

    Eric,
    Sorry to hear that but my aluminum Bluetooth keyboard for my 27" iMac is working fine after the Supplemental Update.

  • Excel for Mac File- Open Issue after latest OS X update (Yosemite)

    Using Excel for Mac 14.4.8 (on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3) always defaults to the Documents directory when using File->Open.  It will not remember last directory a file was opened from.  Has anyone else experienced this?  This did not happen

  • Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray Player/Writer no longer working after latest OS X update

    Since downloading the latest OS X update ("Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks") that rolled out today, I've discovered that my external Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray player will no longer read any discs and that ejecting and restarting the device and updating the device firmware does nothing to solve the problem.
    This exact issue has been reported numerous times since January on these forums
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5829322 (1/26)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5836103 (1/27)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5895950 (2/12)
    and in each instance deduced the problem to be the direct result of some software glitch in the most recent Mavericks update.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue currently and/or managed to fix it on their end? Moreover, admins, what if anything is Apple doing to correct this problem given that it's clearly a persistent issue? Please comment below if you happen to know anything so we can all get to the bottom of this mystery.

    I just noticed this today with my player as well, which had otherwise been working perfectly since first purchasing it a couple of months ago.
    The only source to my immediate problem that I can think of is the "Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks" update that rolled out today, which I installed shortly before attempting to boot up my drive -- the only thing I can ascertain is that this has to be an ongoing software update issue with Apple that affects some/all of the players with each problematic update round, since others have reported experiencing similar problems from as far back as January.
    Were you able to fix your problem at all?
