Installed 10.4 update now having problems

Unable to access I-tunes store and AppleMobileDeviceServices.exe is using 100% CPU slowing my computer down. I have reinstalled I-tunes but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Try the solution outlined here:

It is easy. It solved most of my problems, including ones similar to yours.
I had installed, uninstalled, updated, not updated (between many, many restarts) only to discover: 10.4.7 broke my system. It wasn't foreign hardware; it was Apple's new software. Particularly, my MDD FW800 dual 1.46 would wake from sleep, but then consume 70% of CPU time. I do have PCI cards installed. Despite this fix my Firewire 800 PCI card now does not work after the 10.4.7 update.
From what I gather this is a link to an Apple software package that will replace the needed USB kext file with more grace:
http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/usbdebug.html
As always, BE CAREFUL AND BACK UP. Be sure you have another way to boot your Mac so that you can replace the "fix" with the original file should your machine not boot after the change. Be sure to fix permissions before you reboot into the modified system (may not be needed with USB Debug Kit).
Harrumph. I hope there is an official fix soon.
FW800 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just updated now having problems with wifi, just updated now having problems with wifi

wifi playing up after latest update to lion

I watched a movie file in QuickTime Player and MPlayer but didn't notice any lag. I also watched a video in Hulu Desktop and didn't get any lag either. I believe I have the same 500GB drive as you in terms of exact model number so I'm not sure what's going on other than it's got something to do with the firmware.
At least you're able to use the rest of the machine...unlike most of the others.

Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) if you don't already have a currnet backup of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages. How can I fix this?

I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

No third party apps, no signatures, we've cleared out contacts and are using just the numbers. She ended up dropping her phone and got a new one. She has a Galaxy S5, I'm still on my Lumia 928.
I did a live chat with someone here, based on her suggestions we both power off our phones, remove/replace simm cards, restart phones regularly and this issue is still occurring.
This issue ONLY happens with her, even when I'm at places that have horrible service, I receive messages/calls from everyone except her after I leave the trouble areas. My phone tells me she is receiving my messages when she claims she isn't, her phone tells her I am receiving her messages when I am not.

Help! My fire wire 400 ports have stopped functioning, and my 800 is now having problems....I'm getting a protools message telling me there is a problem with my firewire.

First, you have posted in the wrong area, this is for PPCs and you have an intel.
Try repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM.
Let us know how you made out.

Try resetting the phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0 *Problems Now*

Software update asked to install MacBook Pro Update 2.0 and now my MacBook Pro 13 2.5 i5 16gb Ram fails to wake from sleep when I open the lid, machine also hans with beachballs when tasking the Finder, switching applications, opening and closing them.
I have tried to repaid disk permissions, resetting PRAM, and booting with extentions disabled, the system still exhibiting the same problem.
Anyone have an idea how to get this fixed without wiping the Mac?
Anyone else experiancing this problem ?
Thanks.

Yes as I mentioned in the first post, I did try that.
Apple told me I would have to ship the computer on my dime ( for the second time ) because they do not offer shipping exchange in Canada.
This is the second time I will have to pay the shipping cost for repairs on this laptop; it basically will have added $125 to the price.
Really unhappy.
Probably will be my last Mac.

Installed the latest update, now Airport Utility doesn't see Airport

I ran the latest update, now my Airport Utility claims to not see my Airport Extreme although I'm still on my network.? Any suggestions before I completely reset the AE to factory settings and start over.

I purchased a new Airport Extreme last week, I run a home network with a G5 desktop and a G4 Laptop running 10.4.10. It took me a while to set it up as I entered the wrong password for my ISP SBCGlobal. After I finally had it going I had a couple of occasions where Airport Utility did not see Airport but I still had the solid green light on Airport. I am not sure what I did that resolved the problem but I know I did a restart one time and my Airport showed up. I may have also reset my base station and re-entered my info but I no longer have the problem.

Already installed OSX without updating firmware - a problem?

I’ve just installed Puma on a G3 iMac (slot loading) for a friend, and would like to upgrade to Panther.
Thanks to some helpful types on here today, I’ve realised I need to get the retail version to do this.
However, I didn’t update the firmware when I went from OS9 to OSX
Is it true that you can’t do it if you’ve already installed OS X?
and
Is this a problem?
(it didn’t tell me it needed doing when I installed Puma)
Thanks in advance, wise ones…

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
says to install 10.2 or later, you need to install
the firmware update first. And reading the firmware
update instructions, it is important to note, you
boot the machine into Mac OS 9 before installing the
firmware. The reason you didn't need for Puma is the
graphics chip drivers are different in Jaguar and
later.
ok, I see, so this is what i need to do
- dowload firmware
- boot up in os9
- install firmware
- install panther
further quick question - how does one boot in os9? sorry, i'm sure that's a real thickie question to ask. will puma have os9/classic environ installed with it too? (i don't remember seeing anything)

Updated to 10.4.5 now having problems...

So after I updated the system everything was working fine, but after I rebooted my computer a second time later that week, something really strange happened. The system overall is running very slow. Icons in the dock were all on the defaults that you get when you first install Tiger. Every application I open gives me the little message as if its being opened for the first time. Worst of all, when I open iPhoto, it just says loading photos, but never actually does. I have located my photos on the hard drive, so they are not lost, but it is still very frusterating. Everything has been reset to the defaults like the bookmarks in Safari and widgets in Dashboard, although I do not believe I've lost any of the ones I added myself. It's not so much a crisis, but I just want to know how to get everything back to the way it was before I updated the system.
Thanks.

Hello Tommdog:
No, DiskWarrior will not fix that problem. What you are being told is that your hard drive is failing - and needs to be either repaired or, most probably, replaced.
This is from the Apple help menu:
Checking a hard disk to see if it's going to fail
Most disk drives include S.M.A.R.T hardware. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. Developed by IBM, S.M.A.R.T. hardware allows hard disks to test themselves for potential problems. You can check the health of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If you've been having some problems with your computer, it's a good idea to check the status of the hard disk.
To learn more about using Disk Utility, open Disk Utility, in the /Applications/Utilities folder, and choose Help > Disk Utility Help.
You should take your computer to an Apple certified technician or an Apple store.

Did the update to Firefox today and now having problems with Comcast

I did the update to Firefox today. I am able to log into Comcast, but am having trouble with staying logged in. I go to the home page, it tells me I am not logged in, so I go to the log in page, log in, and it takes me back to the home page showing that I am logged in. When I try to go access my email, instead of taking me to that page, it just takes me back to the log in page. It also does this when I navigate anywhere else on the site. Help!

E5 software updated to v072.001 now having problem...

I have updated my phone and my aol e-mail which has worked without a hitch is now no longer working. It keesp trying to get me to set a default nokia e-mail account (which I don't want) and I have to keep accessing my aol e-mail manually.
Is there anyway round this as it is driving me crazy.

I experienced something similar. I updated yesterday my iPhone 5s to iOS8 and I couldn't hear correctly the calls I received or made. The sound was very very low, almost impossible to hear. I tried several times to place calls and set the volume control to the max without luck. I then turnes off and on the phone and the problem was solved, the sound is good as before. Hope this helps.

Updated to Snow Leopard, now having problems with Java??

I've had my MacBookPro for five years, and I'm thrilled it's lasted so long with no bugs. However, since I updated from Tiger to Snow Leopard on my MBP, things have been running slow, hiccuping, etc. I've run the disc utility app a couple of times, and each time there is a long list of problems in the log under the categories "Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/Drives.icns", and
"System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/management- agent.jar".
This feels a lot like a virus. Can anyone advise? I'm real worried.
Thanks,
Nancy

Nancy... there aren't any Mac viruses.
Your profile shows you are running v10.6.3. If that is the case, you need to update your system software to v10.6.7.
Click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update.
And check the startup disk in case it needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). if the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
And how much free space there is on the startup disk... not enough and the drive will slow down. While you have the Disk Utility window open, at the bottom of the window see: Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have 15% free disk space.
Another way to keep an eye on free disk space, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
"Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility.app/Contents/Resources/Drives.icns", and
"System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/management- agent.jar".
Those are just messages from verifying disk permissions. Nothing to worry about. I see the same ones.
One key thing to remember with computers. Always backup your important files on a timely basis.
