and so on...

There were a lot of issues with WD drives long before the update.

Problems with Java 1.5+ after installing new "Software Updates".

I downloaded the regular 'software updates', now my macbook pro won't open Vuze, instead coming up with the message " Cannot launch "Vuze Installer". No compatible version of Java 1.5 available." Then it won't let me "Open Java Preferences". What do I do???

This is silly. Just because you don't know Vuze doesn't mean there's no problem with this update. My friends are having the same issue, of course we are looking at possible problem from Vuze's part but we cannot really say this update has 100% nothing to do with Vuze's launch failure, can we?
P.S. Since Vuze is not banned by law, it's still legal to use it. It's up to people if they want to use it for good or bad.

I have problems with pop up windows after earlier today I updated the software

I have a macbook pro, and I updated the software today, I have OS X 10.9
After I did this I started having problems in safari with pop up windows, before it only happened with some sites, but now almost every site I try to open it also opens
pop up windows, and some sites have underlined words that link to other sites for advertising.
I really don't know what to do and I've read several posts of people that also have had my problem but I don't the solutions.

Ringtone problems with iPhone 6 Plus after 8.1.1 update

After updating to 8.1.1 I noticed that my iPhone 6 Plus will not use any other ringtone no matter what is selected or assigned to a contact for phone calls. It always rings with the Apple "Opening" (Default) ringtone.

I Did the reset and it does not work. It will revert back to the original ringtone when I enter or leave a new wifi. Whenever I re purchase, I notice after it loads it will pop back up with the purchase price. Ugh!
But I've spoken with numerous people with the 6's and spoken with the Apple techs and it just looks like a bug that needs to be waited out. im sure with the next upgrade (which is hopefully sooner then later) the problem will be solved. So until then we get crappy ringtone options

Problem with aiff files playback after 10.9.4 update

I use Logic and Reason to produce electronic music. Ever since I updated my system to 10.9.4 I have had issues with track playback on my iMac. It seems to be centered around the playback from online sites (i.e. Soundcloud, YouTube, Skype, etc) and Quicktime. It doesn't happen if I am using Logic, Reason, or iTunes. The playback problem is like a popping/crackling on the audio. Has anybody encountered this before? My suspicion is that the internet is using my systems Quicktime application for playback and the problem is with Quicktime. Perhaps I need to reinstall it since the update, it somehow got corrupted? TIA

I have followed the steps outlined to uninstall Office 2011, but when I try to reinstall the software I get an "installation failure" error. I'm still in limbo without access to necessary applications.
I've been reading the Microsoft forum for Office 2011 for Mac but haven't found anything helpful yet.
Thanks for any other suggestions you might have.

Problems with permissions on PXI after 8.6.1 update

My host program communicates (via TCP) to my RT program on PXI box.It can update itself by a) telling RT program to terminate, B) FTP sending a new version (using Internet toolkit), and C) rebooting the RT (using RTSystemReplication library).This worked fine on LV 8.2.Today I updated everything to 8.6.1 and NIDAQmx 8.9.The update would not work: the host got Error 15550 - could not open file (550).Using other FTP tools, I found that I could not delete the RTEXE file on the PXI from there, either. Even another computer wouldn't do it - error 550.Permissions on the containing folder are 755 - owner and group may NOT write.I can rename the folder it's in, but I may not delete that folder, or the file itself.Again, I see the same situation from other FTP tools.I see no method in MAX to change the settings for FTP purposes...What do I do?

FWIW, NI Tech Support has responded with a reference to this doc:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6EDCBF0F0498814F86256B570080DD20?OpenDocument
The doc basically says to rename the file before you delete it. That works, for some reason.

Unusual problem: crashes repeatedly in itunes after latest ?keyboard update

Not wanting to divulge my sleep pattern too much( ),
I go to sleep at night by leaving the computer on, unplugging it and turning on itunes and the visualiser and letting it play a song on repeat. The computer is in full screen mode and it used just turn itself off when it ran out of juice.
Recently. since the last update, it crashes about 5 mins into this - the visualiser crashes, and the music hangs, playing the same chord dum dum dum dum dum dum dum.
The computer is totally frozen and the only shutdown option is keeping finger on the power button.
I went into settings and fiddled around with the power management settings to no avail.
Is there anything I can do?
thanks
tom

I did do a search first, and did not see anything current on Mavericks, except for some launch issues. The vast majority were on Windows boxes and did not appear applciable.
I don't consider this a launch issue because sometimes iTunes will run for hours and then crash. I am going to experiment with turning off auto-refresh of podcasts and see if that gives any clues.

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

Hi.....my laserjet 1536dnf mfp was working perfectly with win 8 pro....then I installed win 8.1 pro and now the computer ,which is part of a network,can not communicate with the scanner of the printer--it prints just fine. On another computer (running win 7 ) on the same network, the scanner and all other printer functions work just fine.
I have tried installing the latest drivers from HP......scanner still not "communicating" with computer.....also temporarily disabled firewall.....please help...all the best -David G (gossat)

You cannot. If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you. After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

Urgent question very Strange problem with an external HD on mac PRO

Hi,
I have a problem with a external HD on my mac pro.
After many month of regular use with out any problem today when I turned on the HD I could not see it in the finder anymore.
I use this HD for backup of an other external HD and to do the back up I use an application called SYN SYNC
The strange things are:
1) If I start Sync Sync everything works properly as if the sofware recognize with out problem that the HD is effectively there.
2) If I open DISK UTILITY I can see the HD and if I try to repair it the utility after 2 minutes says that everything is ok.
3) If I look for the mac pro (to which the external HD incriminated is connected) on a different mac in my studio over the net I can see the external HD and I can browse the folder, copy items from the esternal HD to the MAC and even copy thing on the external HD.
I tried to connect directly via Fire wire 800 the HD on a different MAC and I could not see it like on the mac pro.
Does enyone have an idea of what's going on?
best regards
Lorenzo

I can still see all the others external Hd with out any problem and I already try this but no results I can't see that HD on the desktop and neither in the sidebar.
As I said the strange thing is that the external HD shows the same behaviour when is connected to a different MAC.
Seams the problem is with the HD not with the MAC.
I even try to use a different case for the HD using also USB connection instead of FW, but nothing change!

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.
