Help! Mac update 10.4.6 disaster

Went to do automatic update, since then a nightmare. No apps such as Microsoft Office and Palm are able to run...Bluetooth (mouse) also finicky. I keep getting messages:
Application Launch Failure
The application "Transport Montitor" or "Palm Desktop Background", etc. could not be launched because of shared library error, for example:
",<Transport Montitor><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_QD>"
Have ibook G4, and have used Mac since the early 80's...this baffles me, especially since this "patch" has hobbled me..
input greatly appreciated.

Hi A. Brody. I don't understand why my total posts states 1. I've been posting here over the years numerous times.
Basically, World of Warcraft seems to be crashing until 10.4.6 for the PPC and if you look at the Mac WoW forums, you'll see an increasing amount of people reporting similar experiences.
With 10.4.6 being the only new variable on my mac since the 1.10 patch for WoW came out about 2 weeks ago, I wanted to see if there was a way to revert back to 10.4.5 so I performed a search and came across Vipir's "Revert t o 10.4.5 and hold off for Apple to fix this. " in the results. In reading the thread, I didn't see any instructions on how to do that, hence why I posted in this thread. It made sense that if someone proposed the idea, then the process in how to execute the idea should be presented in the same area.

MAC OS 10.6.8 Using Safari 5.1 Needing Help With Updating Adobe Flash

Hello-
Recently Adobe Flash installed an icon in my System Preferences and when I click the icon there are several tabs. One allows updates to check automatically. It says it will install the latest version of Flash without having to remove the previous version, but I have never been told that a newer version is available unless I clcik "check now." although "Check for updates automatically" is checked, I do not know where it tells me a newer version is available. Also, there has been 5 "newer versions" available since this icon was installed in System Prefeences, I have only found out about the newer versions when I clicked "Check Now." If I read that with this new way to install the latest Mac version of Flash does not require me to uninstall the previous version of Flash how do I install the most recent version of Flash? Does it come in an email?
Since it is not telling me that there is a more recent version of Flash unless I click "Check Now" should I still do it the way I used to install the latest version of flash? (The way before this icon was added to System Preferences)?
I would appreciate help with updating Flash to the most recent version. I used to uninstall the older version, restart the browser and download the most recent version and install it. It always worked find but this was before there was an Adobe icon in my system Preferences.

Hello,
The way you used to do this (uninstall, restart the browser, etc.) is still definitely valid and probably the "safest" way to get a new version installed. Uninstalling shouldn't be required, but it definitely doesn't hurt. If you feel comfortable doing it the old way, please feel free to continue using that process.
As for notifications, this is a bit trickier, but in general you should be notified within 30 days (or so) after a new player is released. This usually occurs when the browser loads swf content. Clicking the button will, like you mention, immediately check. Another alternative to finding out when a new player is released is to subscribe to our Flash Player Releases feed.
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
Thanks,
Chris

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

Photoshop Elements crashed on my MAC and gave me the suggestion to go to Help, then Updates to correct the problem. When I do this the update starts and then tells me to close Elements to continue. I close Elements and continue then get this message - PLEASE CLOSE THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS TO CONTINUE - ElementsAutoAnalyzer AND ElementsOrganizerRevelAgent. I have no idea how to close these applications and therefore I am not able to get the updates.

"NO Symbol" on startup after Apple icon; had just ran an auto Mac Update-

Hi! Okay, I'm freaking out. I have a late model G4, mirrored 2003 model. A Maxtor master drive taken out from my first gen G4 as my boot drive is installed, along with two slave drives internally. Yesterday, I was getting my freelance work loaded up when .Mac Update alerted me, and I clicked "yeah, go ahead." I went about my biz in the house; my screensaver went on. Long story short, I couldn't get the computer screen back on, to show me my login window, so I rebooted. That's when I freaked out. (all that was running at the time was Mail, Safari, Firefox and the updater asking to restart… maybe the OLD AOL app, I'm not sure.)
Everything looked fine on startup until the nice grey apple turned into a NO symbol. After a few retries, I held down the option key to see what I'd get. I was offered my HD, but again I got the NO symbol. I then booted from TTP's eDrive. I didn't even see my HD to repair it. I then booted from Drive Genius No go. I tried Disk Warrior and got the same thing. (and no, booting from the OS X DVD did nothing; it saw nothing and Disk Utility saw nothing) Usually when I "lose" a drive, I can save my @ss. I'm having a coronary because I can't even see the drive with all these utils. I don't understand why I DO see it on the "option key" bootup. I'm not at all good with OS X, which is a big disappointment to me since I was able to fix anything prior… software and hardware. I have A LOT of stuff on this hard drive that won't boot up, and I'm freaking out, to put it lightly. I don't hear a hardware problem, though. It spins up, and I don't hear anything odd. I definitely do not hear a head crash. There's no clicks of death. Something else is going on that I'm just not able to figure out since I've fallen behind in my geekery since having a baby. (I will let him know of this one day. haha)
HELP. I'm broke, and I'm literally freaking out. I'm posting this from my CUBE and original cinema screen system. A lot of my work is on one of the internals, and safe, but a huge amount of stuff is on my main drive and I'm just ready to commit myself or smash the G4 into 6 million pieces. Could it be the G4 and not the HD? Like I said, I see the drive as an option when I boot the mac holding down the option key: it says "spookie's macintosh HD OSX" — my main drive. I am BAFFLED. I don't understand why NOTHING sees the drive when I try to access it.
help. please.

The routine that shows the screen with an Icon for each bootable drive is the Startup Manager. It lives in your Mac's ROM, and when it shows an Icon for a drive, that tells you the drive answers and appears (after a very cursory check) to contain evidence of a System. The Icons for Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 are displayed as appropriate. Later in the boot up sequence, your Mac is finding problems that give you the prohibitory sign.
You appear to have carried in a System on a drive from an older Mac, that may not contain all the drivers needed for the specific Hardware in a Mirrored Drive Doors model -- especially if the Install on it came from a Mac-specific CD originally.
I suggest you try your "Full Retail" black with silver-white X Install CD again, (after you have reset the PRAM, as you reported) to see if it can now see your Hard drive. If you are not using a full retail CD/DVD, that may be the reason your drive is not seen. The gray CD from a different Mac will not contain the drivers needed for the ATA/100 Bus connectors (the rear drive pair). You MAY be able to have the drive recognized in the ATA/66 Bus (front connectors) as that Hardware is essentially the same as in many older G4 Macs.

PC will not update. Mac updated fine...

When trying to update from the PC I get a message that states that the update server is down or may be offline, or the firewall settings could be wrong.
Would that be MY firewall settings?
The mac updated with no problem, but my PC will not update.
Thanks

Hi Wizwow,
Its possible it could be your firewall settings. This document might help.

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed. Install successful but application will not work.

Hello,
After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games. I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications. However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again. I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure. I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work. I check my security settings and it does allow plugins. I erased my temporary internet files. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated! This is incredibly frustrating. Thank you

Thank you for responding! I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5. I have not intentionally installed any ad
blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times. My online
school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system. To the
best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
where the trouble is. I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
besides what I find in the system preference/security tab. Thank you again
for responding and any help is most appreciated.

Help Mac Help - "Discovering Your Mac" constantly reloads (flashing...)

The problem:
constant automatic repeated reload of help page
Navigating the Menu to Help > Help Mac gives the "Mac Help" page as expected.
On this page is a link "Work smart, play hard." headed "Discovering Your Mac".
Clicking this link the "Discovering Your Mac" help page appears but is in a state of constant automatic repeated reload (as if the menu View > Reload were being constantly selected).
This iBook G4 12" (MacOS X 10.4.4) is straight out of the Box purchased this week from Computerwarehouse.com.
Main Question:
Is this normal out of the box behaviour that just has to be patched or is this a fault that should prompt me to send back the iBook.
Background:
I bought a Mac for home use because I'm fed up with spending more time configuring Wintel PCs than using them.
Surely a Mac should not do this out of the box - or am I being hopelessly naive.
Comuterwarehouse’s solution:
Purchased from Computerwarehouse (thank god I didn’t buy from PC World).
Removed the cache folder “com.apple.helpui”. This didn’t work. There next suggestion is to update to 10.4.6. I am waiting to do this (they will post me CD since I’m on dialup at home and strict download restrictions at work). After this the suggestion is a complete reinstall.
See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2598465 for original post
Have since updated to 10.4.6 using the combo update and the behaviour remains.
Do I realy need to reinstal - I have a funny feeling this behaviour will remain after a reinstall.
Any assistance greatly welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Doug.

Have updated to 10.4.6
Looked at the troubleshooting HelpViewer link.
Been through as many options as seem related.
The iPhotoPhotocast.plugin is installed. Removing this and the cache files then restarting has no effect.
Have verified the disk.
But the MacHelp page does work when connected to the internet.
MacHelp.help does link to the internet so perhaps updates itself. Do help files update them selves, or is the extra content just held in a cache file somewhere?
What is the latest version of MacHelp.help?
I have version 3000.8 159.6 MB created 26 Aug 2005 23:47
It looks like this gets modified - last modified today 00:24.
How can i reload just this help file.
What is the current version of HelpViewer?
I have 3.0.0 (144.1)
Does help viewer get updated when you do an update? e.g. from 10.4.4 to 10.4.6.
Just noticed 10.4.7 now available - another 65MB download on dial up and Apple refuse to send it on a CD to me.
Would be intereseted in any answers on the help file version and how I get it.
Thanks
Doug.

HT201541 I need help with updating my browser.

I need help with updating my browser. Its telling me that Safari is outdated.

That is a very old version belonging to Snow Leopard. I take it you are not actually running Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Read this.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

Help application update - fix for installation error

Some users are reporting installation errors when updating the Help application update -- if you are experiencing a similar issue, please follow these instructions:
Uninstall the previous version of Adobe Help
Windows: use the Add or remove Programs utitlity

Macintosh:USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1
IMPORTANT: Empty the Trash or Recycling Band to ensure proper removal of all files
Manually update the application at: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
The above solution is also available as Technical Support document here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84215.html

Okay so I followed the steps outlined above (and in the tech doc)., and when I go to manually install Air I get the following message:
"Sorry, an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
Now what? I'm on a Mac, OS 10.5.8.

Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing. Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.
