Installed 10.5.7 update - got problems. Now what?

Hi,
I did install said update that is now buzzing this community. Tried both (normal and combo) and neither work - programmes crash when I try to print.
What do I do now?
I am not a apple tech and need step by step instructions! I also can't afford to pay someone cause I am poor!
Can anyone help me...?
please...

10.5.7 gave me spontaneous system crashes when running on battery power, with plenty of battery life left. To clarify: what I mean by 'spontaneous system crash' is, the machine behaves exactly as if the battery had been pulled out. Years ago I experienced similar behavior with old batteries that needed replacing. Currently, though, I actually have two young batteries that I alternate between, and the problem occurs with both batteries. I no longer have a laptop. I have a desktop.
I am sure it is not the logic board-- everything was fine until immediately after 10.5.7 upgrade. I bet that this is related to older logic boards, though-- I have the first intel MBP that came out. I have seen two people posting on discussions here saying that logic board replacements fixed their apparently identical problems. Perhaps these posters' logic board fixes happened because the upgrade replaced the older board with a more modern board that is not susceptible to the bug.
I will be downgrading to 10.5.6 ASAP, and I am not happy about it. Time machine is no help, because you can't revert the OS only, you have to lose all new data created after the system update.
It appears from the various postings here that upgrading to 10.5.7 is a kind of russian roulette. Many people (perhaps even most) have no problems, but then there are others (like me) who experience catastrophic problems. I would say to those who are considering the upgrade: are you feeling lucky?

Installed 3.4.1 update but Lr now doesn't recognise my images

installed 3.4.1 update but Lr now doesn't recognise my images,
Installed it last night but my images now are blank with question marks on them.
Anybody else have this problem, or any ideas on how to fix it ?
Images are still all on my harddrive
Abit worried
Neil

Your observations are not quite correct:
It is as follows:
a) Question mark on the frame of the thumbnail: When you hover over the "?" the words "Photo is missing" appear; when you left-click the "?" you will get the menu <Locate>. Select <Locate> and navigate to the location of the photo. If the name of the photo has been changed outside of LR, you will also get the "Missing photo" message / question mark and when you <Locate> and navigate to the renamed photo you will be asked to verify that this is the correct file.
b) Question mark besides the folder name: Indicates that this folder is missing. Right-click the folder name and the menu <Find Missing Folder> appears.
Navigate to the location of the folder. If a parent-folder and the sub-folders have the question mark besides them, you only need to find the location of the parent-folder and the sub-floders will also be found by LR - provided that the folder names have not changed.
Missing Image / Folder: Does not necessarily mean that the image / folder is not on the hard drive. It means that LR cannot find this image / folder.
Among several reasons, the main reason is that image files or folders have been renamed or moved in Finder / Win Explorer. Since LR has the files and folders in the catalog under the old name, it gives you now a "missing" message.
You also get the "missing" message when an external hard drive has been disconnected from the computer.

Update got interrupted now it is stuck on an iTunes screen but won't go any further

Update of iPod touch got interrupted now it is stuck on an iTunes screen?????

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 Trying to update my ipad 2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Update option. Now what?

Trying to update my ipad2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Download option. Now what?

Very old versions of the iOS prior to iOS 5 did not have the option to update over the air by using the Settings app. If your iOS is lower than 5.0 you need to update your iPad while connected to the computer you normally sync with.
First thing to do is start iTunes on your computer and use the menu to check for updates. Your iTunes must be version 11.1 so it you have and earlier version of iTunes on your computer update iTunes to 11.1.
Then start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes and select General or Summary in the right side panel. Do a backup of your iPad next.
Once the backup is complete click on Check for updates.

Got XMLBeans - Now What?

As a new userof Workshop, I'm having a bit of trouble coming up to speed with XMLBeans.
Gettting a schema to compile was easy enough. That process is well documented.
But
now what?
For starters, the schema compile produced the following warning:
WARNING: Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
WARNING: Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
I'd like to know what the issue is, but recompile what? I can only find a new
jar
file (containing no source) resulting from the process. If there is any source
left over
from the generation process, I can't find it.
Next, how can I see what's in the generated classes? I know there are predictable
classes/methods generated in the production of the XMLBeans, but it sure would
make things easier if there were some kind of source code to refer to or some
generated
doc. specifying what I've got available to work with.
Finally, the tutorial examples skim over what the requriements for imports are.
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I really can't figure out from the examples what's
needed for import in my own code to work with my newly generated XMLBean.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Installed iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.1 - now programs keep crashing

Hi,
I installed the firmware update as recommended by apple and now I find that most programs crash on a regular basis. In particular, MS Office (Had this installed before the firmware and it worked perfectly) and iTunes.
Can I back out the firmware update?

1) Quit all applications
2) Click Shut Down in the iMac EFI Firmware update window and wait for your computer to shut down
3)Press and hold the power button until you hear a long tone,then release the power button
A status bar indicates the progress of the update
Important: Do not interrupt the update
Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the iMac EFI Firmware update.
Click OK if the firmware is up to date
If these instructiona appear on your screen again repeat steps 2,3 and 4
Hope this helps - I had the same trouble initially!

HT4818 Hey, I was installing my mountain lion and they said install failed as I have got no recovery, what should I do?

I was facing a problem with my mountain lion installation, as I was installing, they told me that they cannot create a recovery file. Can someone help?

I'm not sure where you read that about the disk being "write-locked." That doesn't make much sense, given that the major task an installer like this must achieve is writing a whole bunch of files to the hard drive. I think your source was mistaken.
As to what happened, it sounds like your hard drive was badly corrupt to start with, or possibly was on the edge of failing and is now in the process of dying entirely. If you don't have backups of your data, that does not bode well for you, unfortunately. If you can manage to use target mode to copy your data, do that.
Once you're sure you've got all your data, you need to start up from your Snow Leopard install disk and repair the hard drive. (Since it sounds like the Mountain Lion installer didn't work, I wouldn't trust the recovery partition that Mountain Lion installs.) Or, even better, just erase the hard drive entirely and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then, once you're back up and running, with all your data back on the system and with Snow Leopard updated to the most recent version, try installing Mountain Lion again. If any of that fails again, the problem is likely to be a dying hard drive, and you'll need to replace it.

Trying to install PE12. Unzipped win64...now what?

I've just purchased PE12...just to resolve another problem with PE8 (can't open a project anymore). I've Activated, downloaded the file, unzipped win64 and that's as far as I have got... What now? Has PE12 been installed? If so where is it? If not then what else do I need to do.

I got infected now what should I do?

Hello
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.
Today I turned on the wireless, clicked the "Gmail" official application to read my emails. Then the phone started doing things itself, so it went to "Settings menu button", "uninstall" and was trying to uninstall "CM Security", but i turned off the wireless button from my modem in time. So he could'nt uninstall it.
First two seconds that my phone was connected to internet/wireless started this...
Seems someone was remote controlling my mobile phone. The phone was responing to my clicks and also to the attacker clicks at the same time.
Now I uninstalled half of apps on my phone, and I have not connected it to the internet anymore.
I also changed the google password from my pc.
I am really worried, what should I do now???

I've had a quick chat on the phone with one of my people and they do know of such things but have stressed that this is only possible if Bluetooth is enabled or wifi and connected to a network which means someone on the same network has or was doing this - If it's bluetooth and lets say one of the friends sent you an app to sideload via bluetooth then consider this person to not be a friend - To fully clean your phone I would not recomend a factory reset I would in cases like this perform a system repair see below for details
This will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Finally got order now what???

Ok, I was finally able to get more order in for the iPhone 3Gs, (had to pay $499). But am now wondering how the process will work? When it arrives, do I need to just swap out the sim card and plug it into iTunes, or do I need to take it into an ATT store? Also, on my invoice it claims "special order" and it lists "no voice plan". I am hoping that this isn't so, and that it will just take over my other plan.
Thanks,
D

I have the same thing - the "no voice plan" just means that you didn't purchase a new line or plan, and that the phone is an upgrade of an existing phone under contract. You don't swap the SIMs - they are tied to the IMIE of the phone. I've never done it, but activating the new phone in iTunes should replace it in your plan with AT&T. I would contact AT&T first to be sure.

HT1552 My PS3 has the UPnP as 'Not Available'. I just purchased an Airport to fix this problem, now what must I do to make it Available?

When not connrected to a router, the UPnp on my PS3 reads Not Available. This is particulary frusterating because I cannot play online. It became available when I hooked it up to my roomate's router but he's not letting me use his anymore so i just purchased a new AirPort Express. How do I set it up so the UPnP becomes AVAILABLE again? Please help!

Eudora to Mail: got mailboxes, now what about attachments?

I've finally had to give up on Eudora, even though Mail STILL doesn't do all the nice things Eudora does, but I haven't found any other alternatives. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro...not going to Mavericks yet because of imcompatible software at work.
I was able to successfully import all my mailboxes, with all messages apparently intact, EXCEPT the associated attachments are no longer available. How do I get the attachments over from Eudora to Mail, or is that asking too much? I can still find them one at a time by going back to the old Eudora folder in Documents, if I really have to, but that's cumbersome.

Well, I may not give up on it entirely, especially since I still like it so much more than Mail, but I've been running into enough glitches that I feel I should be prepared. Been using it since 1996, through several upgrades of hardware and software. Eudora 6.2 runs okay on my 2007 MacBook 10.4.11 but on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 it tends to get a bit buggy at times, which always makes me wonder when something major will happen. What panicked me this past week was that my In box suddenly decided to empty itself! Not one single email, nothing. Thank goodness I back up, but restoring was a real pain. Plus I know Eudora won't work when I finally have to upgrade my OS.
So I'm currently simultaneously downloading email to both Eudora and Mail, just to cover my bases. Not an ideal solution but it gives me some peace of mind. But if I can't access attachments of imported emails, it may be more trouble than it's worth at this time.

Hold the Home button down while plugging the iPhone in to your computer. Continue to hold the home button until you are prompted to do a restore.
