HT6207 Has anyone else's laptop been freezing after the latest update? (Security Update 2014-002)

I just installed the update this morning and, for the first time in years, my laptop has been constantly freezing to the point where I have to manually restart it.

Same thing has been happening to me and it's really annoying. I've tried reformatting and restoring my hard drive but it didn't help. Tried to perform a hardware test but that froze as well.
I suspect it's an incompatibility problem and would appreciate it if Apple would fix it soon. If anyone had the same problem and fixed it somehow i'd appreciate any tips.

  • Anyone else feeling considerable lag/slowdowns after the latest update?

    Everything from opening Safari to launchpad and Word, my Mac has become laggy after the latest security update just a couple of days ago. Even the downloads window takes longer time to open. Theres even mouse lag and lag even when I type at some instances. I can tell and feel when my Mac slows down.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  • TS3406 Has anyone else experienced frequent dropped calls since the latest IOS upgrade?

    I have experienced dropped calls since I upgraded my IOS a few weeks ago. Anyone else having the same problem?  AT&T blames Apple, Apple blames AT&T, I'm stuck in the middle.
    HELP?!?!?!?

    I'm with ATT and no.
    I had a dropped call not long ago and it wasn't due to my iPhone or ATT. A friend with Sprint tried to call me while driving through a known low reception area with Sprint. Sprint dropped the call.

    Yeah...in United States...everything is back up...but still a little creaky and slow.

    Has anyone else lost their scroll bars after downloading the newest version of IOS?

    What does the iPhone/iPad OS have to do with Mavericks?
    Mavericks does remove the scroll bars as they are not needed, but you can set them to show always in the General System Prefs.

  • Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update?

    Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update? It sees the libaray but won't connect...

    I'm having the same issue.  So far all lion has done for me is make all my microsoft office documents un-readable until I upgrade (about $150) and lose my home share capabilities...can anyone assist with this?

  • HT201210 Has anyone else received a -39 error since the new itunes update?

    Since the latest itune update, I have completely lost all my uploaded audio books.  When I try to restore from my ipod I get error -39.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    I have no idea which password you mean. Your phone's password? Your Apple ID password? Your iTunes Store password? The Backup encryption password? It is impossible not to have an Apple ID password or iTunes Store password. They are usually the same, but don't have to be.
    If you need the backup encryption password it is cretain that you entered it, but it may have been a long time ago. It is prompted the first time you back up after checking "encrypt backup" in iTunes, and can also be required by your IT Administrator if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone. It is never again prompted until you need to restore from the encrypted backup.

  • Has anyone else had problems installing drivers for the Canon MF4570dn?

    I recently purchased a Canon MF4570dn multifunction printer, to be installed on my network at home. It works very nicely with my wife's Windows 7 box.
    On the other hand, I cannot install the driver software on either of my Macs (iMac i7 running 10.6.8 or G4 running 10.4.11). The installer fails when it gets to the point of running its internal scripts, and provides a proposed "solution" of "Call the software provider."
    Canon technical support is unable to help. I have reset printers in the system preferences, I have downloaded the installer package multiple times from their web site, I have repaired permissions, all to no effect. Their final suggestion is "Call Apple Technical Support and have them perform a 'profile reset'." (I've never heard of such a thing, in 27.5 years of owning Macintoshes. Has anyone else????)
    So my question is this: If you have one of these on your system, did you have any issues getting the drivers installed? If so, how did you overcome them?
    Thanks,
    Rich Alderson

    More negative feedback on these Canon MF4570dn devices elsewhere on the support boards. Buyer beware!

  • Has anyone else had email notification issues after ICS update?

    After the ICS update, I am not longer getting any email notifications.  I only get notifications after I open the stock mail app and it loads the emails.  I have unistalled/reinstalled numerous times without any change.  I have looked through the new ICS settings to see if switch got changed, without any luck.  Has anyone else run into this issue?  Thank you in advance

    I think if you delete data and cache from the email app, then re-add your email address, it should help.

  • I frequently have to remove and re-insert the SIM in order to access the internet. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is the issue with the IPAD or the SIM card?

    I frequently have to remove and re-insert the SIM card in order to access the internet. Has anyone else experienced this?  Is it a problem with the IPAD2 or with the SIM card?

    Could be the SIM card, the iPad, or both.
    Start with replacing the SIM card.

  • Safari keeps freezing after the 5.1.4 update

    Safari keeps freezing up after the 5.1.4 update. I have no extensions. I also tried using firefox and it too freezes so it might not just be a safari problem.

    I'm convinced that something is possibly broken in Safari 5.1.4.  It's the first Safari update that has actually forced me back into using Google Chrome.  I've had intermittent beach balls and system wide stalls since moving to 10.7.3 (including Safari 5.1.4).  Removed every extension in Safari without avail.  Activity Monitor and Console never conclusively pinned down the culprit.  I finally moved back to Chrome, and my system is working again as intended.

  • Is it somebody Except for me Who has problems With waching videos on ipad after the 5.0.1 update

    Is it somebody Except for me Who has problems With waching videos on ipad after the 5.0.1 update

    1. closing the app and reopen it
    2. restart the iPad
    3. restore the iPad via iTunes
    4. Begging the app to work again.

  • Has anyone else honestly had GOOD luck with the Kin TwoM?

    I recently purchased a Refurb Kin TwoM off ebay...I havent yet activated it but I did want to pass this along to others (as I was curious about) that I WAS able to take my old Samsung Intensity to a VZW Store and they transferred all my contacts within about 5 minutes! I wanted to make sure that would work first before anything!  Also, I tested out the wifi @ home and Mcdonalds and it connected just fine!..its like a Wifi-Enable Mp3 player right now and it only cost me $40, so hopefully once i fully activate it the actual PHONE will work!  There are a few quirks Ive noticed like others have pointed out..such as the screen lock doesnt actually lock the volume controls on the side....and the browser is awesome for a basic phone but isnt quite as smooth or 'fluid' for webpages like our Ipod Touch is...(but you really shouldnt compare it to any smart' devices that like) Im not sure if its true for all Kin's but I havent been able to play videos offline like Youtube? anyone else have this issue? I also wish with there were some simple Apps like FB / Twitter/ Maps available but I suppose I cant expect too much!

    I know I'm tempting fate by posting this, but yes, I've been quite happy with my KIN TWOm.
    I got mine originally in June, 2011. A couple of weeks later, it dropped from the holster on a dirt path and must have hit a pebble or something, because a small section of the screen stopped working. VZW sent me a "Certified" replacement (cost me $99 because of the apparent physical damage), and it has been performing fine for the past 13 months.
    Sure, there are some software quirks (It's Microsoft, remember?) but the benefits clearly outweigh those.  Probably the thing I miss most is the lack of any voice recording/command function.  But I love that it has WiFi, and the nice camera and 8GB memory let me take over 400 pictures when my normal camera was stolen on the second day of a trip to Europe.  The Zune music player is nice as well, and the e-mail client, while limited in function, is much nicer than the one on my previous phone.
    As for the actual phone functions, I text more than I talk, and the physical keyboard is very nice for that. As for voice calls, I do that pretty seldom, but have not had any problem with dropped calls, volume, etc.
    OK, the big elephant in the room is the "black screen" that seems to affect so many people. It's happened to me a few times as well. I think my background as a computer guy has helped me deal with this.  When this has happened to me, it's always been when the device was "sleeping", and just didn't want to wake up. Like maybe it wasn't recognizing the interrupt from the "back" button. In those cases, I've found that holding the button down a little longer, opening the keyboard, or briefly pressing the power button will get its attention. Or sometimes I just need to let the device rest for a minute or two and it manages to untie itself.  There have just been a very few times when I've had to do a cold boot (remove/replace the battery).
    You also need to be careful as to how you put the device in your pocket or belt holster. Make sure that you don't position it in a way that the power button can be accidentally pressed when you sit down. There have been a few times when I take the phone out of my pocket and the little power off confirmation box is displayed. If that happens, be careful not to touch "OK" -- unless you want to power off.
    Anyway, maybe mine is living on borrowed time, but overall I've been very happy with it so far.
    I know there are others who have not had such a good experience, but this thread asked for people who were happy with their KINs, and I am.
