Heads-Up: Safari 4.0.5 update cripples Disk Utility

Hi guys,
Just a heads-up. If you're planning to install the Safari 4.0.5 update and also maintain a separate OSX partition on the same HDD (backup, maintenance partition, etc), you might consider holding off for now. I installed the update, everything went well as far as Safari was concerned, but an apparent side effect is that now I can't check and repair permissions on my other OSX partition - the one I use to repair disks and permissions; the buttons for checking and repairing permissions are now greyed out. When I highlight the drive I'm booted into, everything's normal, though. Still doing research about this...

HI,
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Try running Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

Software Update and Disk Utility no longer work (Leopard)

Hello. After upgrading yesterday from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 then updating to 10.5.1 I find that repair / verify permissions no longer works (it just hangs after starting).
And the same with Software Update, it starts the check then just hangs. Grateful for any ideas!
Overall I am finding Leopard much slower in operation than Tiger. Peter

Create a new admin account with Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts and see if the issue duplicates itself logging into that account. That will say if the issue systemwide, or just localized to the a bad user cache file. If the issue persists in the new user, you can try looking in the System -> Library and Library -> Cache, Applications Support, and ByHost folders for cache files relating to Software Update and Disk Utility. Once you find them, carefully extract them to comparable folders on your desktop you create (i.e. name one systemlibrarycache) so you know where you go them from, and restart your Mac. If the issues go away after two restarts then it is just one set of bad cache files. If the issues return after two restarts, you have something generating bad cache files which needs a more system wide repair tool.

Problems running Software Update and Disk Utility

I had automatic updating turned on in the Software Updates control panel, so I believe the system tried to apply the 10.4.6 automatically and somehow failed.
Ever since, when I try to run Software Update it hangs while trying to connect to the internet to get the list of available updates. I tried downloading the installer directly from Apple, but when I try to select a volume on which to install the update, it doesn't list my hard drive.
Finally, when trying to run the Disk Utility, I get an error about how the Disk Utility cannot be started because a background process is not running. I have to Force Quit to exit out of the Utility.
I was able to boot off the Mac OS X 10.4 installation DVD at which point I repaired the permissions and repaired the disk. However, upon restart the same problems remain.
I've seen several other people post about this issue; has anyone found a resolution OTHER than doing an Archive and Install (which I don't want to do if I don't have to?)
Thanks so much for help that anyone can provide!

Macbook Pro not booting after update. ''Disk Utility can't repair disk''. Help needed!

I have recently updated my macbook pro as I had some pending software updates. I left it to do the job over night and the next day I noticed it was not letting me sign in to my account session as usual.
I restarted the computer and ever since then when I boot it, it just shows the apple grey screen with a bar that loads to about a 3rd and then it turns off again. I have contacted apple but they were unable to help me with this.
So far I have tried to:
1. Re-install OS X 10.8 - but it says the disk is locked or OS X cannot be installed on Recovery HD.
2. Verify and Repair the disk and I errors but it cannot fix them. Some are:
               'invalid leaf count''
               ''missing thread record''
               ''incorrect number of file hard links''
               ''overlapped extent allocation''
          and it finally says ''the volume Macintosh HD cannot be repaired'' Error: ''Disk Utility can't repair this disk.. disk, and restore your backed up files.
I would like to know a way to back up my files so that i can completely restore the disk without any data loss as I havent backed up for a while!
If anyone has any solution to this issue it would be much appreciated!

I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
and when I run the repair, this is the message:
The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
Repair attempted on 1 volume
1 volume could not be repaired
Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
Thank you all very much for any input.
Cheers,
Matt

How do i update my disk utility

my disk utility will not work with 10.6.8
can i update it? or re install it?

Hello madeinamerica,
If an application or utility that is part of the operating system is not functioning correctly, you'll likely need to reinstall the operating system.
Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6606
Do verify that Disk Utility is being opened from the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, as well, as an old copy of the utility in a different location may not function as expected.

Mounting .dmg updates using Disk Utility?

Hello Apple Forum,
I've got a problem you might be able to solve.
Adobe Illustrator CS is crashing. I have posted the prob here and at the Adobe forum. The Adobe forum has advised me to install the 11.0.2. Illustrator update.
Can you tell me how to mount the .dmg file after downloading with Disk Utility? It's not just double click is it?

I concur with Alex that something is amiss with your system. Normally, double-clicking on a .dmg file will invoke DiskImageMounter which decompresses the .dmg image and puts a virtual drive on the Desktop, from which you can copy files or run an installer (this is what 'mounting' the .dmg disk image means). If you open a .dmg using Disk Utility, either via the 'Open Disk Image' command from Disk Utility's File menu of by control-clicking the .dmg file and selection Open With... to call up Disk Utility, you see a message window about "attaching disk image" while Disk Utility is mounting the mage.
That you're mounting a .dmg image, briefly seeing the mounted image on the Desktop, only to have the mounted image disappear, suggests you either have the Finder Preferences of the System Preferences> CDs&DVDs set to ignore the mounted hard drive images, or the sysytem prefernces are corrupted and think that's what they should be doing. Alex's suggestion on running Disk Utility> Repair Disk and Repair Permissions is the first step in troubleshooting the issue.
You can also check preferences by logging in to a different user account (if necessary, create a new, troubleshooting only account to work with a fresh set of default permissions and preferences) and seeing if that different account shows the same behavior; you can download and run Preferential Treatment; or launch Applications> Utilities> Terminal, then copy and paste the following exactly into Terminal and press return:
find ~/Library -name '*.plist' -exec /usr/bin/plutil -lint {} \;
The refernce to using ther Finder's Go menu was to look for the mounted disk image in the leftmost pane of the Finder window that opens; e.g., if I doble-click "gc593x.dmg", after a few seconds I'll see a hard drive icon "GraphicConverter" in the Finder window and also on the Desktop. If I click on the GraphicConverter hard drive icon in the Finder window, I see that mounted drive's contents. What happens when you click on the mounted drive's icon on your Mac?

10.4.5 updater and Disk Util now not working

getting "Disk Utility internal error Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility"
1. quit and relaunch Disk Utility still no joy
2. login as another user - no joy
3. try removing iTunes packages - no joy
4. restart Tiger Server- no joy

yeah, now we have the answer to your question, I didnt have time to include this tactic in my previous post:
a. load Tiger DVD client disk into Mac mini hosting Tiger Server 10.4.5
b. launch Disk Utility
c. click Verify Perms
d. DU finds various problems, finishes stating it repaired them
e. click Verify Perms again
f. DU finds various problems, finishes stating it repaired them
g. click Verify Perms again
h. DU find no problems, finishes stating it repaired them
So, restart this Tiger Server with its own hard drive, then run DU from that hard drive: same error message once again
Perhaps this is a benign error ?

JAVA 1.6.0_22 UPDATE CREATED NEW ERRORS IN DISK UTILITY.CORRECTED POST

THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL POST AS IT MIGHT HAVE HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR. Permissions Verify and Repair Messages after Updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_22

THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION OF A POST THAT I ALREADY MADE. AS YOU READ THIS PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FIRST SET OF VERIFY PERMISSIONS THAT YOU SEE HAVE ALREADY GONE THRU THE REPAIR PROCESS BUT THEY REMAIN AFTER I REPAIRED THEM AND THEN VERIFIED THEM AGAIN.
NEXT YOU WILL SEE VERIFYING AFTER THE NEW JAVE 1.6.0_22 UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2010,
I VERIFIED, REPAIRED, VERIFIED, REPAIRED AND IT NEVER REPAIRS. EACH TIME IT SAYS REPAIRED I VERIFY IT AGAIN AND IT STILL SHOWS THE SAME ERRORS.
I AM NOT CONCERNED WITH THE ERRORS PRIOR TO THE UPDATE. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE ERRORS THAT I HAVE AFTER THE JAVA UPDATE.

Greetings William,
Not one of my errors is on that list!
I am more concerned about the ones that start with "User" then I am of the others.
The only reason that I ran the update is because of the errors that I had on the disk before the update came out yesterday.
I had called Apple last week about the original errors and was told that the new update would resolve my issues; however, as you can see not only did it NOT resolve the original errors but created several new ones!
Today I see that Apple is discontinuing use of Java!
Also, I have 5 days left on my 3 year warranty with Apple and now they are telling me it is not their problem as it is a third party software. I will do one more clean install and will not do the last Java update that I did yesterday.
In any case I appreciate your input and wish you well.
Again -- thank you for your attention to this matter.

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

Safari, Itues, MSN and Update-programm doesnt open anymore!

Hey Apple-Team!
I have a unusuall problem.
Yesterday my mac requested me to turn it off, during i was installing a safrai update. when i switched my mac on again, i was unable to use any programm that uses the internet!!
My Airport ist active and shows that i have a great singanl ! but any application/programm such as safari itunes etc. doesn`t opne anymore. when i click on the symbol eg. the safari symbol it jumps up and down for 5 second as usually but then it stops and does nothing. in other words the programm doesn´t open anymore.
Moreover the softwareupdater doesnt upen too (i quess its caused by the same problem, that no programm that uses the internet doesn`t open anymore"
thankfull in advance yours Helpseeker
Ps: i am just 19 years old and not a prodigy concerning mac etc. so please use a "freshman" explination!

Welcome to the Apple forums. There is no one from Apple here: we are all users like you and offer suggestions depending on what information we have. Unfortunately from your description, you have had a kernel panic (KP). The computer or OS has had a problem and stopped. Most can be fixed easily, although some may require a bit more work.
If your reading English is up to it, try Doctor Smoke's FAQ on Kernel Panics as there are several useful ideas there. (Buy his book if you can.)
You have restarted and there are problems, so I would suggest a restart with the grey install disk. Select the language then use the menu at the top of the screen to access the Utilities and the application, Disk Utility. Repair the disk.
If you have added RAM recently, that can sometimes be a cause of the KP so removing/replacing that might help (if that is a cause).
It might be helpful as this is internet related if you use Network preferences and create a new Location. Perhaps if you are using "Automatic" there are some settings/data in there that may be causing conflicts.
It might also be useful to create a new Admin account and to work from there (if the other account has problems). Until you can safely use Safari (it is not properly downloaded and the old version is compromised) try to use Firefox or another browser.
In the username>Library>Preferences folder, there are files that end in .plist (property list), find those for Safari, and put them in the Trash.
Try these things and come back to the forum and let us know how it went. If my words are not clear (I know there is a lot here) come back and we will try and explain in another way.
You know how to make coffee? . . . .

I was updating my apps from the App Store when the process quit unexpectedly. Now I can't open the update file nor will my safari launch. How do I get back on to safari and prevent the updates that did download from being installed?

I can't launch safari after downloading so updates. HELP!

Ashka, I have tried to "transfer purchases from device" but that is what I am saying that I do not see the app in the "mobile applications" directory after I do that process. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a way to get to the ipa file that is stored on the iPad such as a program that could browse the directories of the iPad of even an app that could do it so I can get and save the actual app in ipa format.

My firefox wont load any page. Says it cant find the server of any of them. I can view the same pages in safari. I just updated to 3.6.7 and now having this problem. What is happening?

Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

Hi!
Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser.
Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.
Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.

ITunes not running after Safari and Quick Time update

HELP NEEDED!!After updating to the latest version of Safari and Quick Time, i got this error message the next time I started my computer:
"AppSyncNotifier.exe: The program can't start because CoreCoundation.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
I tried to open iTunes but I can't. I tried to uninstall so I can reinstall but it I got another error message that said I do not have the rights to uninstall, etc. I am the only user of this computer and I have admin rights. This PC used to run on vista but I recently upgraded to Windows 7(x64) and I encoutered the same problem - i could not uninstall/reinstall iTunes because "I do not have permission"
After upgrading to Windows 7 iTunes was running okay until the Safari and Quick Time update.
I need to sync my iPhone and iPod but without iTunes I can't!!!
PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!!

What a strange collation of errors. Taken at face value, each of the three suggests a different problem. Working on an Occam's razor sort of principle, that one underlying problem is going to be more likely than a perfect storm of three different problems at once, I think we'd better try checking on troubles with administrative privileges first.
Let's try doing a "run as administrator" on an iTunes uninstall first.
Download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your desktop.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Since you've already got that version of iTunes installed, you should eventually get to a dialog asking you to repair or remove iTunes. Select Remove.
Does that go through without the "Windows Installer" message?
If so, reboot the PC and then try another "Run as administrator" of your iTunes64Setup.exe. Does Apple Application Support get installed for you properly this time?
Thanks again b noir. Unfortunately, this suggestion did not work. When I did what you said, there was no option to "remove". I see the iTunes thing on my control panel-programs window, but it's no longer in the program (x86) folder on the c:/drive. iTunes on my computer is like gum stuck to my shoe. same goes for bonjour. Please be patient some more. Do you have any more suggestions?? I'm planning to get me an iPad but if I can't get iTunes to run properly on my computer I'm having second thoughts about it now.
Thanks!

Safari 4.0.4 update creates 7510 new permissions problems

Prior to installing Safari update, running the 'Repair Permissions' in Disk Utility found only one error -- the SUID modification on ARDAgent (Apple Remote Desktop Agent). Apple documents this as being a known issue, but harmless and can be safely ignored. (I'm on OS X 10.6.2 -- if you're still on Leopard then you probably see more errors reported by Disk Utility.)
AFTER installing the Safari update, running the 'Repair Permissions' now finds 7511 errors (7510 new issues).
Most of the errors (I confess I did not actually read all 7510 of them line-by-line) indicate that permissions on the files have been modified to -rw-rw-r-- when they should have been -rw-r--r-- (in Unix that means they've added 'write' permission to make the files group-writeable when they should have been just owner-writeable and universally read-able.)
People have been commenting on the sloppiness of Apple's file permissions for years. It would be so trivial for Apple to catch this during their testing.... after applying the patch, check Disk Utility's 'Repair Permissions' and see if the patch introduced new errors and, if so, correct them prior to releasing the patch.
The good news is that Disk Utility does correctly repair the permissions. If you run a 2nd pass of 'Repair Permissions' you'll see that all the new errors introduced by Safari 4.0.4 patch are cleaned up.

Hello Tim:
Ignore the list. All of us have seen that and have reported it to Apple.
