Has the lastest security update caused problems for anyone else?

Since the latest security update things have been a little weird with my MBP. Within 5 hours of udating the computer there were two kernal panics. At least I think the second one was a kernal panic. I had closed the lid and it wouldnt sleep or turn back on and it had no response to the power button or any keys so I eventually pulled the battery. Then on restart it acted as if recovering from a panic.
Since then I have had other problems such as long waking time from sleep, dim screen after restarts, and itunes opening for no reason at all. After the latest restart things seem more 'normal.'
Has anyone else had this problem? If it continues, what should I do?

And here was I thinking it was my own imagination! After installing that annoying update, my MBP has not been the same.
I also had two kernal panics exactly as you have described.
My MBP seems to me to be extremely sluggish compared to what it was, and I am seriously condsidering reinstalling OS x and not installing that update.
At one point I decided to run disk check and it said I needed to repair my hard drive, something about the actual size and recorded size being different, so I repaired that last night so I will have to see how that goes.
I am very careful with my comp so i know that it is nothing I did that could cause thes problems.
And of course to add another problem to the list, My battery life is nothing like it used to be. I am a college student and up until i installed that update i could easily go 4 hours in lecs using the laptop to take notes, but now after about half an hour the battery indicator says i have an hour left. It is very annoying!

    I am an activist when it comes to rip-offs and I intend to set up a group to pressure the Ausralian government to legislate to make all computer software producers to make all new software compatible with all old software AT NO COST to the user.
    I thought about that myself, but when it comes to Windows XP. It is peculiar that software companies get away with "selling" software that suddenly stops working properly. The problem with XP is of course an environmental one as well. There is a huge number of fully functional PCs that suddenly are no longer supported by Microsoft, and that are not powerful enough to take newer supported MS operating systems. What MS basically recommends people is to throw them away with a horrible cost for our environment.

  • No wireless Internet after  the lastest security update

    Everything was working fine,but since i did the latest security update,...i noticed my wireless internet connection was getting weaker and weaker and now i can't connect anymore.
    I'm using a Belkin PCcard in my Powerbook G4 Titanium 867 GHZ
    Connected to a Belkin Wireless router.My Belkin Card is recognized as airport express in the system profiler.
    We also have a Ibook G4 800GHZ with an orginal airport extreme card , same problems too, no connection to our Belkin router.
    As i wrote earlier everything was working fine.....
    internet works fine with the standard UTP rj45 cable..
    What i did , Repaired all the permission, restarted the router, removed the airportkext2 file as suggested on some postings etc etc (later put it back ofcourse)... but no solution...
    Must be something with the latest, update I hope Apple solves this issue soon, any help from you Macwizards really appreciated.

  • [SOLVED] wxpython update cause problems for playonlinux

    After a recent update, playonlinux seems to get stuck in an endless loop during startup. The output in terminal is this:

    This just keeps repeating until I end the process with Ctrl-c
    The specific update that cause this is:
    wxgtk
    wxpython
    wxgtk2.8
    The wxgtk2.8 package was newly installed as certain packages require this version. Just to make sure, I removed wxgtk2.8, and downgraded wxgtk and wxpython, then playonlinux works without issue. Upgrading the system again causes this issue to appear again.
    Edit: wxgtk upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-5 -> 3.0.0-2, and wxpython upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-4 -> 3.0.0.0-1
    I have narrowed down the problem. Downgrading only wxpython to version 2.8.12.1-4 solves the problem.
    Last edited by Daerandin (2014-01-12 02:32:41)

    I'm on wxpython 3.0.0-2 and I'm still getting this issue, both on wxgtk 2.8.12.1-5 and 3.0.0-2.
    And it might help to know that playonlinux depends on the package "wxgtk2.8" rather than wxgtk (and also wxpython2.8), which I can't install without borking my system and don't want to anyway because I use wxMupen64Plus, so I installed every other dep and -Sdd'd it.
    EDIT: Scratch that, my error is actually similar but not the same:
    Looking for python... 3.3.3 - skipped
    Looking for python2.7... 2.7.6 - selected
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "mainwindow.py", line 32, in <module>
    wxversion.select('2.8')
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 152, in select
    raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
    wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found
    And it has the exact same output for either version of wxgtk. I'd test it on wxpython2.8, but that depends on wxgtk2.8, which I can't install without either uninstalling important packages like audacity or forcing conflict overwriting. It also loops this error forever until I CTRL+C.

  • Verizon is the 4.3 update causing problems with my phone because my phone is having problems

    I have been having multiple problems with my GS3 since the 4.3 update including wifi connection issues dropped and frozen calls frequent unmounting of my sd card bluetooth problems to site the worst. I have updated and reset my router checked and reset my phone settings multiple times taken my baterry out of my phone 2 a day on average turned my phone off multiple times a day to reset it. I am now wondering what will fix all these problems because nothing i have read from your forums has done anything, how much longer do i have to pay full monthly prices for services i can no longer full monthly access?

    Your phone is a mini computer, no matter what os it runs.  
    Software updates from various developers , patch and patch again.  Adding to the original App software already on your device.  Not only do updates apps take up more room on your device with each update, but imperfect updates and the communication with other services on your phone lead to many software "glitches".   When there are major software errors, the best remedy is to clean it out and start it fresh.
    It is recommended for Apple devices suffering from battery life problems, app crashes, lack of device storage and other issues after the iOS 7 update.
    Android devices are no different.
    It is drastic, but sometimes unavoidable.   Don't forget to back up any information that is unique to the device.

  • Has the latest Windows Update caused your users issues?

    Are the prompts you're referring to related to UAC? If so, that can be adjusted. Anyways, I haven't had a single issue with any of the machines that have been updated this week. This goes for Win 8.1 and Win 7 machines. :)

    Since Wednesday I've had 3 different Remote Salesmen (Surface Pro 2 users) report that their computers have either crashed or have been giving annoying prompts for any program they've tried to run. Probably not related but a Windows 7 Pro user randomly mentioned that their USB ports stopped working after an update. On the Surface users I noticed each had a Windows Update installed on 7/14.
    Has anyone experienced an uptick in Surface tablets or Windows 7 Pro workstations since the latest Windows update?

  • Does dust under the iphone screen protector cause problems for the retina?

    I dont have bubbles under the protector but if I reflect the screen under light I can see tiny dust particles under the protector, they are small white dots. So will this cause issues for the screen and is it worth removing the screen protector itself to fix or will it do nothing to the resolution of the phone?

    will this cause issues for the screen
    No
    will it do nothing to the resolution of the phone?
    no

  • Sync To CRM Time - Does This Cause Issues For Anyone Else?

    I have been a long-time Eloqua user. Primarily, the companies that I have worked are B-to-B and serve small businesses.  In the small business lead generation world, when you wait to respond to leads - you lose. The first one in usually gets the deal.  We have all of our lead generation activities running through Eloqua, including our PPL campaigns where multiple competitors are also responding to RFQ's and also our inbound sales call center uses it (via form) to submit leads in order to take advantage of the de-duplication and validation power in Eloqua.  The latter causes my sales team to wait 15 minutes while they are they are waiting for the lead to get created and transferred to them in CRM. 
    Here is my issue.  At best, it takes Eloqua 15 minutes to sync the leads to SFDC.  These programs are "straight to queue" integrations too.  I am running integration events straight from the form processing steps, so there are no program builder delays here.  The guys in Support have been really great, and have been working with me to see what can be done to decrease the lag time, but 15 minutes seems to be the acceptable rate. So, I am starting to think of ways to take them directly to SFDC and just live with the issues of duplicates and no validation.
    I can't be the only one that this causes issues for.  Does anyone else have this issue?

    Hi John,
    I too have had these issues.  The main problem is not program builder.  The integration queue/engine is prone to backlogs.  Rumor has it that the integration engine is shared by the campaign engine and a bunch of other services in the platform.  Either way, the integration queue will always have a lag.
    My solution was:
    1.  Push data from ELQ form to a SFDC Web-toLead Form IF ELQ contact has blank LeadID and ContactID (does not exist in SFDC) -- this creates leads instantly in SFDC.
    2.  Run an apex trigger from SFDC to do a blind form submit to Eloqua with the email address and SFDC Lead ID for the leads created from step1 -- this will ensure that creating duplicate leads in SFDC is minimized.
    3.  Send notifications from ELQ form to Sales Reps if ELQ contact already exists in SFDC as Lead or Contact. -- even without the updates on the lead or contact records in sfdc, this gives the reps an immediate heads up. 
    4.  Send the rest of the information that I couldn't fit into the post-data-to-server step for the new lead.
    Of course I also baked into the form processing steps a bunch of conditions to mitigate spam.

  • Searching Photos is not finding text in the description.  Does it work for anyone else?

    I am attempting to live with the forced upgrade to Photos from iPhoto.
    Generally, the features are an improvement.  But there are some things that just are not working.
    I had an iPhoto library with excess of 32000 photos, in 3200 events.
    Now events are non existent.  I cannot create new ones... just choose from preexisting ones.
    But I digress.  My photos did have searchable text associated with them.  Either in the title (from the event name), in the description, or from keywords.
    As things are now, only keywords seem to be searchable. (via the Search block in the upper right)
    Is anyone else having this problem?  Why?
    I don't want to have to make a "Smart Album" every time I need to find something.

    I can enter text and it finds words in Titles, Filenames and Descriptions for me.
    How long since you updated? Perhaps it's not finished indexing?

  • Did the 1.3 update fix anything for anyone?

    Hi all,
    Until this evening I had a 'freezer' 24" iMac (i.e an iMac that froze constantly with video problems) and as it was new have just returned it to my local Apple store and replaced it.
    I've re-installed Leopard (clean install) and my apps but now Software Update is bleating at me about "iMac Software Update 1.3". Given threads on these pages and others I am extremely hesitant about installing it.
    Has 1.3 actually fixed anything for anybody or am I better of staying clear until further updates come along?
    All opinions appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I've left the update uninstalled for the same reason. I haven't updated anything since I installed Leopard since I just don't trust these updates. While my computer is not 100% stable I can live with it as it is and I don't want things to get as annoying as some other poor folks are experiencing.
    I'd say unless Apple release a "iMac freezing solution update" that is proved to be effective you and I will both be ignoring Software update.

  • Which Security Updates are needed for 10.3.9?

    Since 10.3.9 appeared, the following Security Updates have been released: 2005-05, 2005-06, 2005-07, 2005-08, 2005-09, 2006-01, 2006-02. Now I note that "Security Update 2005-008, Security Update 2005-009 and Security Update 2006-001 have been incorporated into [2006-02]."
    But apparently 2005-05, 2005-06, and 2005-07 have not been incorporated into any later SU (so far as I can tell), so while I can delete 2005-08, 2005-09, and 2006-01 from my utilities disk, I have to keep the earlier ones to install before 2006-02?
    It would seem to make sense to incorporate all the post-10.3.9 SUs into the latest one, instead of just the last three; anyone know why this hasn't been done?
    Yes, I could erase the HD on my iBook and resintall 10.3.9 and use Software Update to figure this out -- but I've found that confusing as well, since Software Update doesn't mention some updates until the updates preceding them have been installed. You have to invoke Software Update over and over to get the complete picture. Not to mention that I don't particularly care to have to reinstall the whole System every time a new Security Update comes out and muddies the picture again.
    The Apple security updates page just lists all the updates, without mentioning which of them incorporate/supersede earlier ones. Does anyone know if there's a way (such as an Apple KB article) to find out exactly which Security Updates are presently required with 10.3.9?

    From my reading of the situation you describe there are several reasons that one update triggers another update. Sometimes the first update causes issues that were unforseen and they are fixed.
    Sometimes the updates are solo because later updates cause problems for users and they wish to stop at a specific update (my take on this is that there is something wrong with their system and if the system was correct the updates would not cause problems)
    Sometimes the updates are sequential because one update builds on another.
    Sometimes updates are combined (as you wish would happen all the time).
    Updates always give me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach because there have been a couple that have caused problems/revealed problems with my system that had to be tracked down.

  • What is the correct firmware update check URL for a Westell VersaLink 327W?

    Hi, I was wondering what the correct URL is for the modem to check for updated firmware on the Westell VersaLink 327w. My model is the  D90-327W15-06 and its current firmware is 04.04.03
    To clarify, I'm looking for the URL that goes in the box at the top of the upgrade page in the router's advanced settings. That link is a screenshot of what my page currently looks like.
    Since I first got this modem 2 or 3 years ago, it has never been able to properly check for updates. I've tried changing the URL to point to the Verizon support page for manually downloading the firmware but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm guessing the URL should point to a specific file, possibly an xml or something? I don't remember what the original address in the box was but it didn't work anyway. 
    I'm pretty sure I am running the latest version (04.04.03) and manually upgrading isn't a problem if a new version comes out but its always bugged me that the built-in check has never worked right for me so I figured I'd ask on here for the heck of it. At the very least I'd like it to be able to check version information even if it can't upgrade automatically.
    Does the built-in firmware check work for anyone else using the 327w or similar model? If so, could you kindly copy/paste the URL on your modem's firmware page? Even if you have a different modem, it might help me figure out the right address for my own. Thanks!
