ICloud acting strange since OSX 10.9.1 update

SInce I updated to OSX 10.9.1 I have been having issues with iClould. These issues include: numerous requests for iCloud password and inability to enable password sync in keychain. Anyone else having these problems? Solution?

I'm not having the issues you describe.
Have you tried the usual first step troubleshooting tips of restarting the computer, signing out of iCloud then back in again etc?

Problem using external screen and KVM switch since OSX 10.6.4 update

I've just returned from a trip during which I installed the OSX SL 10.6.4 update on my 13" MacBook Unibody Aluminium (late 2008).
It's been working fine but when I came home and plugged it into my KVM setup my mac could not find the external display. I tried rebooting and reconnecting without any success. The KVM is a Aten CS62DU USB and DVI model. It works great for my PC which is connected to the second input.
Furthermore I've connected the display using only the minidisplay->DVI adapter and a standard DVI cable. This works but not as rigid as it used to. It takes a few connects and disconnects before OSX is able to find the external screen. It seems that the timelimit for handshaking with extrenal screens have been decreased with the 10.6.4 display driver update. Perhaps this is the cause of my problem.
Have anyone experienced something simular since the 10.6.4 update? I really need to get my mac working with my KVM again.

I haven't experienced this specific problem with this specific hardware, but I have updated systems and had to replace KVMs on lower releases of OSX because they simply refused to work.
Any chance a firmware update is available from the manufacturer of the switch?

Slow wireless connection since OSX 10.4.8 update

I have a Powerbook (non-Intel) and a Netgear connection. Since the 10.4.8 update, my Internet connection is horribly slow or pages never load or Safari/Firefox says 'not connected to the Internet' even though I've got a full signal and I'm sitting directly in front of the modem. Another computer in the house (non-Mac) has no issues with Internet. I've made no other changes to my laptop, period, so it has to be the update.
I already searched the Discussions board for a fix and found nothing. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I reinstall an older version of 10.4 that worked just fine? I telecommute for work and need fast access so this can't go on.
Mucho thanks for any advice that anyone can give me, Kat

Hi Kat,
I've read several, (hundreds?), of these complaints, trouble is there are many different reasons... I'll name a few to start us off...
Using Delta Updates rather than Combo updates.
Certain Broadcom Chipset based Modems/Routers might work fine for months, but then won't with Macs. Many varied symptoms including yours.
Trashing these files and rebooting and setting up Network Prefs again...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Geez, there's too many to name off, but...
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.

Problems with Automator since OSX 10.6.5 update

Hi All,
I've had an automator job running for a few months that is essentially very simple.
It gets a specified URL -> displays that webpage -> pauses for 1 min -> quits
I keep it running on my Mac as a separate user logged in (so it doesn't disturb my main session) scheduled via iCal.
But since the OSX 10.6.5 it no longer works in this fashion. If I switch to that user after the time of running I find Safari has crashed and needs to be force quit and the automator script in a state of failure (as it can't quit it).
If I run the script from that user whilst logged in it works without fault. It is only when that user is left running whilst I am in another session that it fails. It's only started after I applied the 10.6.5 update, I've tried clearing the safari cache - but I just can't make it work now.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm. I have noticed a slight problem (see below), but not as severe as this.
My contacts have not disappeared from my iPhone.
And I have just successfully created a test contact on my desktop (which is subscribed to Address Book Server on my server) and watched it sync across to my iPhone. So it's not totally broken. And can delete the contact on the iPhone and watch it disappear on the desktop a few seconds later.
However, it doesn't work if the new contact is not in any groups. A test contact in no group doesn't sync across. Which is a bit odd.

Why is the Bluetooth acting strange after the 10.7.3 update

I have to manually sync my mouse and keyboard every time I reboot my system. Everything was working fine before the update?? Any help would be appreciated !

I gave that a try, but it didnt seem to help. I had tried that before but without the reboot, so i figured it was worth a shoot. thanks for the help though!! any other suggestions would be very helpfull. Im hoping they come out with a patch soon to fix the problem. I looked in the advanced tap under bluetooth preferances and i noticed there was a serial port in the list, but it wasnt checked. there was 2 check boxes so i checked them both. that didnt seem to make any differance, so i put them back the way i found them.

DW acting strange - does not go to code view

My Dreamweaver CS3 has started acting strangely since I
upgraded to a new version of CS3 studio.
I have been working with CS3 for a while now without needing
too much of an adjustment from DW8.
However, I just bought a new computer so I had to reinstall
all my software.
On the new box, DW is acting mighty strange:
1) When I am in Layout view and click on an element to go to
the corresponding line of code for the element it no longer goes to
the line. However, it does when I r-click on it. It is a bit
annoying since it also opens the contextual menu at the same time.
2) When I am in code view (which is 99% of the time) and I
click on an element, it no longer shows me the corresponding CSS
rule in the CSS pane. Again, if I r-click sometiomes it works, but
this one is not reliable either way. Sometimes it works if I double
click, but most of the time it doesn't.
3) The comment icon on the code toolbar is often grayed out.
No reason I can see and just as often it wil work on the same line
of code where it didn't work a minute before.
I combed the preferences line by line without success.
On my old computer I never had any issues like this. I find
it very strange and it is crimping my workflow considerably. Is
anyone familiar with theis behavior or how to fix it?

The times I have seen others post things like this, it's been
due to a bad
installation - reinstalling fixes it.

PREFERENCES? No way that I know of.
SNIPPETS? Copy the Configuration/Snippets folder from the
USER-specific
application folder and paste to a similar location on the new
computer.
XP-
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\Snippets
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use

VISTA-
E:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver

or on Mac -

SITE DEFINITIONS? Export from DW on one computer to portable
media, and
Import to the other.

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.
macbook pro 15" 2.4 GHz intel core duo.2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,

Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file? at startup / Tools act strangely. (Mac Os 10.6.5, 10.6.6)

Symptoms: Every time you start Photoshop, you receive the prompt to confirm the deletion of Photoshop's preferences, or
Photoshop tools act strangely, as if a modifier key was held down all the time: you can only draw straight lines, you sample colors rather than paint/fill, the cursor has a + sign, etc.
AND: You are running Mac Os 10.6.5 or 10.6.6.
Solution: Update to Mac Os 10.6.7: As explained in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/881/cpsid_88159.html
Apple had made a change in 10.6.5 in one of its APIs that affects other programs (Photoshop does not use it), and the result is that they interfere with Photoshop, that receives information that modifier keys (CTRL, Command, Option, Shift) are pressed, when they are not. Adobe reported the bug to Apple, but it was too late to be included in 10.6.6.
The solutions are
a) Upgrade to 10.6.7
b) An Adobe Employee has made an unofficial interim fix for this bug. You can download it and have more information on this post: 72.
This is one of those cases where Photoshop has the symptom of a bug, but the cause of that bug is not in its code.
Note that the post to reset the preferences or reset the tools to their defaults when they are acting erratically is located here:
One of my tools is behaving strangely. How do I reset it?

Sounds to me like Adobe was probably relying on undocumented behavior in the CGEventPost routine. Apple is free, of course, to change undocumented behavior of any of their system APIs all they like, since you're not supposed to be using such things. Developers are supposed to stick to the documented behaviors in the APIs. If they don't, they can try to save face as Adobe is by blaming Apple, but the fact is, it's not Apple's fault, any more than it's my fault if someone picks up a flower pot from my front porch and misuses it by throwing through someone else's windshield.
As Barbara has observed, sounds like a case of Blame-Displacement Syndrome.

Indesign CS6 acting strange at times

I am not loving Indesign CS6. Not because of it's functionality but because it acts strangely. When I quit it, sometimes it takes forever to quit and you start wondering if it is going to, sometimes it says it's closed but the tabbed windows still remain in view only grayed out with the beachball spinning. Eventually it goes away but it is disturbing. anyone know why?
Another thing is that when I change a font size, it will look like it changed but still have the after image of the previous size. Irritating.
One more, and I've had this problem for all of the last versions since I think cs4. When I try to replace a pdf with a current version, (unless I have restarted my computer since the last time I created it,) it tells me that I don't haver permisson or that file may be in use. I end up going to the pdf and trashing it physically. Not very efficient.
I know there are 3 issues but I've only had it for a couple of months at best.
The first issue is the most disturbing.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 8 gb memory, processor 3.06 ghz intel

Again, please remove your auto-signature when replying by email.
Let's try a couple of diagnostic experiments, please.
First, create a new user account onthe mac and log in with that and tell us if there is a change in behavior in ID.
Second, try starting in with extensions disabled by holding down the Shift key while booting the Mac. Does that make a difference?
Do you run any sort of utilities -- anti-virus, Mac Keeper, etc.?

I Book G4 12 inch freezing up and acting strangely

Recently we bought my wife a 12 inch I Book G4. It is a 1.2 megz processor. We have upgraded the ram, and recently replaced the keyboard. In the last few days it has started acting strangely.
While using Pages, and Safari, it begins to "spin" and that application freezes up. Not only does that application freeze up, but when we click on the other applications, they just "bounce" on the dock, but never open up. It is interesting that when we turn off the airport extreem, and then turn it back on, everything goes back to normal.
This is very strange behavior. Has anyone run in to this before? What should we do?

Wow, it's good to know i'm not alone in this. I've never had any trouble with my Ibook before this. This morning (or yesterday?) I installed the recent security update, it's been doing that ever since. First it won't allow any NEW connections (already connected applications, AIM, work), when that starts it won't load other applications then the computer freezes with the beach ball. And it's not safari, because I use firefox with the same results. I would love to archive an install, but somewhere along the way my Tiger disk went missing. If any of you find a solution other than restarting and waiting for it to happen again, i'd love to hear it.

Why is my Ipod shuffle acting strange?

Ever since I put certain songs on my Ipod Shuffle, it has acted strangely with those somgs. For example, when I try to skip one of the songs, it instead goes back to the beginning. The same thing can be said for going back in the song list. Sometimes, after doing it fast enough, it changes the VoiceOver language for no reason from English to a language I can't identify. This is even wierder when the song title is in English. Some of the songs I added are not llayed at all, or when I play a voiceover of one of the songs, then go back to hear the name of it again, it says a different title. This happens only with these songs, which is about 8 sings, but the Ipod only plays 5 or 6, and it says one title one second, and another title the next. Is it the audio files? I have erased all of the music, then re-synced it, but it did not help. This problem is very complicated and strange. Also, this all happens when the songs are in order, as I do not listen to music when it is shuffled.

Puede que se haya averiado. Llévalo a tu centro Apple más cercano. A lo mejor es problema de las canciones. Prueba formatearlo y luego meter otras canciones. Si pasa lo mismo será mejor hacer lo que te he comentado antes. Espero ayudarte y suerte con tu problema.

CarPlay Acting Strange

Since I got my Apple Watch on the 24th, CarPlay has been acting strange. Here are the issues I've noticed so far:
I can not get Siri to activate in any way shape or form. Previously, certain apps would activate Siri upon launch in the car. For instance, opening the phone app would immediately have Siri ask me whom I'd like to call. I was also able to use my "hands free" button on my steering wheel to activate Siri at any time. Now, since I've had the Apple Watch, Siri never activates.
The podcasts app constantly causes Springboard to crash and restart. This happens not only when playing a podcast, but sometimes just browsing them.
Music controls are hit and miss. Sometimes the onscreen music playback controls work and sometimes I have to look at the Music glance on my watch to control the music playback.
Is anyone else experiencing these or other issues?
P.S. In case it matters, I've got a Pioneer Nex-8000 head unit in my car. CarPlay was working very well before I got my Apple Watch, so I'm assuming this is an issue with iOS/CarPlay/Watch and not the head unit.

I have been working with computer since 72 and still do not understand them. All is working, for the time being. I will run it through its paces a few more time to believe that it straightened itself out.
I would still like to know if I am able to delete an apple application and reinstall it?

Mail acting strange in OS X Yosemite?

Since installing OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10) Mail (Version 8.0 (1990.1) has been acting strangely. It freezes and I have to force quit. Mail will prevent a shut down or restart unless I force quit it. I've been into Mail preferences and reset everything - including handling junk. Anyone else getting this? I've sent the report of each incident to Apple.

Safari is acting strangely on several counts

For the last several days, Safari is acting strangely on several counts. I haven't downloaded any updates or plugins recently, and I am not aware of any Safari viruses on Mac OS X, so I'm totally lost here. Please help!
1. Periodically, Safari will stop loading a page completely. So it will start and then the url bar will be partially blue and the circle will keep circling but nothing will happen. Once it does this on one tab in that window, it will start doing it on all new tabs opened up in that window, but any original tab there might still go through. If I close the window and reopen another window, all sites on all tabs will go right through. I tried disabling DNS prefetching, and that helps Safari behave for a few minutes, then it goes back to such strange behavior. I tested using my wireless and using a different network, and it happens on both, so it's not my router. Sometimes, opening a new window doesn't help. So I shut down Safari and restart. Sometimes that doesn't help either, so I end up having to reset Safari. Obviously, having to reset Safari multiple times a day is neither productive nor ideal.
2. When it does that url thing, it also seems to become incapable of completing from history or bookmarks. So for example, if I open a tab and type a website name, it won't complete it, even though I have that bookmarked. Generally when that happens on the first tab of a window, I can pull up the site from bookmarks and it will load immediately. But the next tab I open in that window, will do the webpage not loading business I described in #1 above.
3. A short while ago, i tried resizing a window and it did the strangest thing where it would expand the window space, but just give me a "gray area" rather than expanding the whole web page. I closed the window, opened a new one and resizing worked fine again.
4. A short while ago, another strange happening: everytime I opened up a new tab in the window and loaded a site, it would merge that tab with my old tab and delete the first tab, so at any given time, it was just a single tab window. I closed the window and reopened, and voila normal tab behavior again.
Strangely, if I have two windows open - as I often do - only one window will be affected by such strange behavior. The other one will function normally. But such odd behavior is not limited to instances when I have two windows open. It's also happening when there's one window open. For reasons I do not understand, it seems something in the processes of a window gets corrupted after a little while on Safari and that window starts acting strangely.
Odd and irritating and difficult. I'd greatly appreciate your help!
I'm using Safari 5.0.6 on OS X 10.5.8... thanks!

I don't see anything in your post regarding the Safari cache. BTW, a "reset" does not empty the cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache. Restart your Mac, try Safari.
If that didn't help, quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If nothing above helped, make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If nothing above has helped, try Safari in another user account. If you see the same issues there, log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
