Help! Multiple problems since 10.4.7

Sometime since applying the 10.4.7 update, weird things have started to happen with my 2ghz white macbook .... I've applied all updates and am currently on 10.4.9 but have been experiencing the following problems:
1. System Preferences doesn't always seem to save settings
2. Since once setting voiceover on, I can't disable voice speaking my login screen, even though VoiceOver under Universal access is set to NO.
3. Airport used to connect perfectly to my router, now (since the airport update), it doesn't connect to the network - I have to run network diagnostics (as prompted by Safari screen) before it works.
4. I can't run Software Update from the Apple meu. It gets 2/3 through then crashes (always thread 4 ...). The log reports (extract):
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xffffffb7

I was advised by my local mac shop to reinstall the 10.4.9 update by downloading the whole thing. Still didn't help.
Extended hardware check shows memory (and rest of computer?) is ok.
Happy to post /var/.../*.log files etc... if someon can help diagnose what's going wrong ...
Help please!

At the very end of your posting, it refers to a defective DNS issue. Check with your ISP to make sure everything is set up correctly for networking. It also says something about running as root. Do you use an Administrator account exclusively? Try setting up a non-administrator account and use that for a while to see if it makes a difference.

Help Needed: Problems since an update of 21/02/14

Hi All,
We're having issues with the Youview box and the On demand section of the BT Player since a software update of 22/02/14
Issue
When trying to play any on demand piece of content on the BT Player it shows up the four dots in the centre of the screen and either freezes or starts playing with no picture. You hear the sound but nothing is displayed. Despite pressing back the sound keeps on playing when navigating the rest of the BT Player menu.
When you go back and try and start the online content again it shows up the four dots which sometimes freezes or works. When you close the BT Player the sound stops
Manufatorer software: 15.11.0
Componant Software: 2.1.4
Platform configuration: 714
ISP Configuration: 90
Does anyone have the same issue? Or what can I try?
Appreciate any help
GF

The ISP configuration is the only change.
I take it you have tried switching it off at the back?
If not please try that, if still a problem take tbe power out of the router let it reboot and see if it works.

HT4906 I have a Macbook Pro w/ Lion. I recently had the hard drive wiped because of multiple problems since inception. Anyway, I don't have iPhoto now and when I went to the free Apps it won't install because it says I already have it.....what to do?

Help me reinstall Iphoto. Apple states that I already have it but since I had my hard drive wiped I don't have it and can't reinstall it...

If you're running Lion then the iPhoto version at the App Store will not work for you as it only runs on Mavericks. What version did you have before this happened?
What system came preinstalled on your MBP? If it was Snow Leopard or earlier then you should have disks that came with your MBP that iPhoto can be installed from. If it was Lion or later then you'll need to contact the App Store personnel via the link in this screenshot,
and see about getting an earlier version of iPhoto, i.e. iPhoto 9.4.3 or earlier.
Or you could upgrade your system to Mavericks for free and then purchase iPhioto 9.5.1 from the App Store.

Please Help - Multiple problems with new BB software update

Hi -
Re: new software upgrade to 6.0 bundle 2534 v6.0.0.570
I have a BB Bold 9700, via Carphone Warehouse on O2 (UK).
I just downloaded this software update in good faith, via the desktop manager. It has changed several things I did not wish to change, some of them without any explanation as to how to revert to what I had before.
One thing it has done is duplicate all my calendar entries, using different email addresses as default calendar addresses. I never had this with the previous software. Also, I am having trouble entering a new calendar entry on a day where there is already an "all day" entry.
I guess the more we rely on these little machines, the more we suffer when things go wrong. Does anyone have any clues as to what to do ? Carphone Warehouse could not help and accessing anyone at BB seems impossible.
Thanks in advance for your help.

To reply to your responses, in order:
Nothing -- I just discovered the problems and came here to....
... Express my frustrations (aka "throw a tantrum") and seek feedback from others who may be experiencing the same issues;
Yes, I checked the wifi settings and nothing has visibly changed, and no, I haven't received ANY prompts from Apple about app upgrades -- and before you ask, yes, my iPad is registered with Apple with me as the owner;
The decision to cut the power was one of the moronic moves that bother me, as it renders the device useless for the growing number of photographers looking to give Apple their MONEY to use it; and
I should not have to reset the network settings just because Apple can't get the bugs out of an update before they issue it.

Help, multiple problems including email and sms!

I have had my phone since march and one of the first things I couldn't do was go onto facebook through the facebook app! I also cannot confirgure and email account or use blackberry messenger as my contacts just won't add! One of the most important things that has happened is that a few weeks ago I suddenly could not send messages to some people in my contacts, they are all from different networks including o2 so it is nothing to do with that. When I go to send it, a red X comes up and it says network out of order. also recently I have been connecting to the wifi in my house and I go to open a page on the browser and it says loading on the bar at the bottom. But it is not loading any pages. Please can someone help!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your carrier for formal support.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

Multiple problems on 4s since ios 7.02

I have been having multiple problems since updating to 7.0.2 everything was o.k. when i updated to ios 7!!!
1. Screen now flickers
2 Ghost lines appear on lock screen and when closing apps
3. Green line appears on left side of screen if using a dark colour background.
3. 3G Stays connected even when it is switchedoff.
4. When Contrast ( frosted affect ) is switchED off, it still appears sometimes on some apps and lock screen.
I have restored the phone twice, reset multiple times and i am still having these problems.
Does anyone know if this is a bug of some sort.
I never had any problems before updating to ios 7.02

Place your finger on the middle of the screen (not the very top), press and scroll down.

Multiple Problems after Leopard upgrade HELP! Video display and FW problem

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
Well, I think I've got everything solved except two last things.
1. My 750GH Maxtor Firewire drive... when I plug it in... does not show in the desktop and it causes both my internal drive and two other Firewire enclosures to disappear from the desktop. I can see all of them mounted in the disk utility, but if this one drive is plugged in.. all icons disappear from the desktop. If I unplug or unmount the 750GB drive.. everything comes back.
I've reformatted this drive, etc. This does not happen on my MacBookPro. The drive mounts fine on that. I've tried different cables, I've tried USB (it's a triple interface Maxtor) and nothing seems to work. I would assume there's something wrong with the drive and not my desktop... but the drive works fine on the MacBookPro.
PLEASE!! Any clues would help...
The other problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

The drives not or disappearing on the desktop could point to the need to do a pram reset.
I believe you hold down the apple-option-p-r keys at startup and listen for a couple of chimes.

Many problems since the update - help?

Hi all,
Let me start by saying that I am, for all intents and purposes, a huge Apple booster. I have a new 24" iMac. I have an Airport Extreme. I have an iBook G3 I use for travel (I'm a journalist) and recently handed down my old G3 iMac to my son after loading it up with RAM. I extoll Apple products because they are elegant and simple, and a pure pleasure to use.
Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience with Apple TV since the 2.0 update.
My problems since the update include:
1) My Apple TV regularly "hangs" when trying to connect to ATV content. About 50% of the time when I try to play a song or podcast or movie preview -- whatever -- instead of connecting to it, I'll get an "Accessing iTunes Store" message which, after about 30 seconds of the little spinning icon, will inevitably revert to "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again later." I have to "back out" of the submenu (e.g., "Movies" or "Podcasts" or "TV Shows"), and enter another, different submenu before it will connect. I've tried all combinations of Airport settings ( both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz N, mixed b/g/n), and many different channels, but this keeps on happening. I have troubleshot my network connection with my ISP, and have tested the integrity of the line at DSL Reports. The connection and line quality is fine. Connection strength: signal = 54; noise = 92. In other words, decent.
2) When attempting to play HD Trailers, it is now hit and miss whether or not they will load. Instead of a blue progress bar, my screen goes black for about 15-20 seconds. (During this time, I cannot exit out of the action by pressing 'menu' on my Apple remote; it is effectively unresponsive.) After the 15 seconds or so are up, I get the following message: "Selected content is not available. Format is not recognized" -- or something close to this. After I exit, play an SD trailer, and then hit into the same trailer again, it will often (but not always) work.
3) Album cover art flips often "stick" when turning, especially when playing songs with long, scrolling titles. (I spent a lot of time on the phone with an Apple TV Product Specialist and, after he replicated the issue, he passed on his findings to the Apple Engineering. It is, I was informed, not high on their list of priorities
4) Unplugging and then replugging the ATV to reboot causes a small electrical spark. Needless to say, I don't tempt fate by doing this any more, and instead use the "-" and "menu" restart method.
All in all, a very disappointing experience of late. Very un-Apple.
By the way, connecting to YouTube videos and Flickr contacts ALWAYS works. No problems at all with any non-Apple site accessed through the ATV. So the problem lies with Apple.
Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties? I'm at my wit's end with this thing. Never thought I'd be saying that about an Apple product. But I want to try and solve it, so I'm asking for help. If nothing can be done, I'm going to ask Apple to replace it, or return it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

That was a paraphrase. The exact words, I'm afraid, I didn't write down. I wish I had, though. It was truly a beautiful example of corporate bafflegab. Something like: "since this only affects the visual aspects of the unit and not its overall performance" -- I told the (very nice) product specialist that the Apple TV was pretty well ALL AND ONLY about visuals. (FWIW, he agreed.) Anyway...

I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How do I unlock my iPad? Unable to get serial number since I can't open iPad to get serial number to get help fixing problem.

What do you need the serial number for to unlock the iPad? If the iPad is locked because you forgot the Passcode, you have to restore the device.
What are you trying to unlock?
Your serial number is written on the back of the iPad and on the box that the iPad came in.

Who discarded the Apple ID? Apple? or You?
Did you answer the Security Questions? Is the backup email accurate? Have you tried contacting them?
