HT4561 What can I do to get the 10.6.8 update to install WITHOUT causing a Kernel Panic?
Every time I try to install the 10.6.8 update my iMac boots a Kernel Panic and I have to do a recovery and patches all the way back up to 10.6.7
Then when I try the 10.6.8 update again, I get another Kernel Panic. It takes hours and hours to download the updates required to return to 10.6.7 from what my recovery CD contains and after three tries I'm about to give up!
What is going on that 10.6.8 causes a Kernel Panic on boot-up?!?
I have a Mid-2007 24" iMac and I don't use Bootcamp or Parrellels or anything interesting or fun. This computer is primarlly used for email, browsing (Firefox) and playing Minecraft.
The reason I want the update is that I'm afraid Mojang (Minecraft) will soon require a Java update and without the 10.6.8 update and installing Lion I can not get a Java update.
I have been reading the related posts and have found none of the suspect files. (mouse-related.ktext, CHUD related ktext files)
I deleted the Logictec mouse/keyboard drivers and stuff and also am deleting my 3rd party Magic Mouse driver.
As soon as I read something definite about this I will try another update.
I do not own a Time Machine so restoring from a backup is not happening.
I will be required (should another panic occure) to go through the entire update process again.
I curious, what would hacking on the forums have to do with 10.6.8 updates on user machines?
Also, is Apple Corporation addressing the "issues of late with 10.6.8 updates"?

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?
Hi conversionnewbie,
Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
Please let us know that works for you!
Best,

HT1694 The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?
The text has disappeared from my emails in my inbox. What can I do to get the text back?
Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it they try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back
I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way. -

If you have set up two-factor verification with your Apple ID, you can change the security questions at https://appleid.apple.com . If you haven't set this up, the easiest thing to do is call Apple's Account Security Advisors (I have done this myself before and they are very helpful). The local number can be found at http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I have just downloaded a Cold Chisel album and one of the song cuts off after 3.20 minutes even though the song is 5.51 minutes long, it just suddenly cuts off, what can I do to get the whole track downloaded?
Depending upon what country that you are in have you tried deleting and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I cannot download and install I-Tunes update. I get error message, "Errors occurred while installing the updates. Choose tools>Download Only". When I do this I get error message that says, "I Tunes has an invalid signature. The download has been removed." What can I do to get update?
Finally got a response from Apple. They suggested I uninstall Itunes, then download and install the latest version. Worked great and I was able to recover all of my purchases.

I have a few alot of photos on my Icloud but when i set up my PC to recieve photo streaming i only got 89 how do i get the rest to down load
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
