I just auto updated my system and it froze the computer

Hey,
My imac asked me if I wanted to update my OS.  Everything seemed to go fine, but when it restarted, it got tomthe user login screen and froze.  Well not froze exactly, the mouse cursor still moves around, but when I click on anything nothing happens.  I am functionally locked out of my system.  I tried restarting, and the same thing.

Never mind, I left it sleeping for a few hours and it fixed itself.

  • Auto-update of date and time on Lumia 800

    I've recently had my Lumia 800 in for "repair" as the auto-update switch did not appear on the menu. 
    The phone has come back (from carphone warehouse) with OS version 7.10.8858.136 and Firmware 1750.0823.8858.12460, both of which seem more up-to-date than the versions currently listed as the most recent. 
    [How can that happen?]
    The auto-update switch is still not available to me, and I am told that the "newer software does not support this function"
    REALLY? Or are they just fobbing me off?

    What network are you on ?

    First, tell Apple about your problems... with details... and hope for an update that fixes your slowness
    Second, Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

    I started to do the latest update to iOS7 in my iPad mini and it froze the screen at the area Apple ID security where it asks for "Add Security Question".  I press the next icon, and nothing happens.  The screen is frozen there and I can't get out.  I can go no further forward nor can I be back.  It's just stuck.  This has rendered my mini iPad useless.  What can I do?

    That's exactly what Time Machine does for you.  It backs up every hour, so you don't have to.  While it is backing up, you keep on working.  Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
    The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail.  Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes.  They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time.  Your mileage WILL vary!
    If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four.  You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem.  And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
    Apple hardware and software is very, very good.  You have documented your experience of this.  But NO hardware or software is perfect.  You also have experience of this.
    It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

  • Disable auto-update for SYSTEM on windows

    I wrote an AIR app that is called via a php 'exec' command for my employer. This is part of an automated system where there is no user interaction. The problem is that whenever the application is run, every now and then it will open the Adobe AIR Updater, expecting user input to allow the update or cancel.
    I downloaded the AIR Settings Manager app, and it does a great job of disabling this auto-update, but ONLY for the user running the app. Is there any way to disable the auto-updates for SYSTEM?

    Hi Ozzy,
    Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled to 1 will disable runtime updates for ALL users.  Adding the file%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled will disable updates on a PER user basis.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

    i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone.  I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone.  My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Hi, just bought an Idjay system and I can't get it to work with any of the following: I tried iphone 4s but it has IOS7 so the phone is not recognising when I am plugging the system in I have tried ITouchs,phones

    I have bought a Idjay system and I have the App on the 4S phone however the phone is not aknowledging the system. After googling we found that their is an issue with IOS7 for this system. So we tried an Itouch, its on IOS6 but doesnt work. Then tried an Ipad but the first version. Thought we had success when the Ipad seen the system connect to it. However I then went to download the App onto the Ipad but it needs IOS6 onwards and as its the first model of the Ipad the latest version is 5.1.1 so I cant download the App...
    Any suggestions? do you know how to get the 4S phone to work with it as that would be the ideal scenario?
    Thanks in advance

    They said that there shouldn't be any reason for it not to work. I bought it off ebay and the previous owner used it on the same devices that I am

    did you try to put it in DFU mode.  You will know if you are in it because instead of a plug into itunes screen, you will just get a black screen  http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034  If dfu doesn't work you can get out of it buy holding home and power.  Take it to apple or geek squad if I'm no help.

  • Patching on PRD system and thereafter moving the logs to DR ?

    Patching on PRD system and thereafter moving the logs to DR, will the patches take effect in DR ?
    We have patched our PRD system to the latest APPL patch levels, we have a DR system in place, the link for which was disabled before we started our patching process. The DR system was successfully patched before taking up the activity on PRD.
    The link between the PRD and DR is still not restored.
    Now, that our PRD system is on the latest patch levels, my idea is restoring a full offline database backup of PRD on the DR system should make the DR system exactly identical to the PRD and the link between the two restored to allow for dynamic syncing thereafter.
    Is my above view correct ?
    Moreover, from my understanding, Patches are a bunch of SAP notes, SAP notes in-turn are basically code corrections for some objects, which ultimately means some entries are either written or deleted from database tables. My colleagues are of the view that instead of patching the DR server separately we could have actually restored the link and transferred the logs to the DR and the patches should have taken effect in the DR SERVER, is this alright ?
    From my past experience I am aware that once you restore an offline database backup onto any system, the patch level in the target system would become similar to the source system(the system whose offline backup is actually being restored).
    Thereby request the experts on the forum to give their views on the above.
    Many Thanks in advance

    when we take up any patching activity, can we just do it on the PRD and then move on the logs to the DR and the DR should also be on the same patch levels as PRD. ?
    Yes, its a normal patching process for Primary-->Secondary setups.
    You have to apply the application patches only on Production, then sync process takes care on DR (No need to apply the pathces here, infact you don't need to touch your exisiting DR system).
    As a best practice - Just perform a Quality refresh before performing patching activity, then you can perform your test Patching/Upgrade activity in your Quality system itself (Not on DR).

  • I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
