Installed update and now i have problems...help!!!

Ok so I accepted the last update sent by apple..updating itunes and quicktime and lord knows what else. Ever since my macbook shuts down to the screen that says "hold down power button for a few seconds to shutdown" with a bunch of other languages saying the same (i guess our version of blue screen. I attempted to call apple but in their new tradition its all about the dollar. So I dont have the resources to correct an update from causing havoc on my macbook. I have no idea whats wrong as I have not installed anything else since. Just now my macbook went to that screen seven times in less than 5 minutes and the kid on the other end of the phone was like "fee"..So i'm reaching out to you in hopes that someone can assist me in finding and fixing whatever is wrong. Perhaps someone else is having the same problem. I dont have a mac store near me either.

That's a kernel panic. Start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html for details on how to fix it.
Assuming you don't have a bootable backup/clone, I recommend that you get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall everything. Then, peruse these

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
Regards.

Hi, I have recently done some online updates and now I have to restart my mac each time for the stupid thing to recognise my internet settings. Any help gratefully accepted.

Please be specific about the updates.
Were they Apple updates from Software Update or were they downloaded updates, including 3rd party updates from a website (Including Apple's)?

Thanks for the link. It is a wealth of good info. I still haven't been able to determine what caused my crash, but with the link you provided I should be able to track it down. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. After using the power button and rebooting all seems ok now. Thanks again.

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

I just installed lion and suddenly I have problems starting the computer

I installed lion on my mac a week ago (mac 20.5 inch) and suddenly I have problems starting the computes, sometimes, but lately almost always, it takes a long time to start up (more than 2 min) and then the keyboard does not work and the mouse works partially i.e. the cursor moves but does not respond to clicks, also, when I move the cursor over the dock it does not appear the tag with the application name I'm over, basically I can't do anything except reboot the hard way. After a few times it usually stops happening but I don't know why exactly. Sometimes after rebooting a message appears indicating that I restarted the computer after having a problem and asks me if I want to open all the applications that I had in the previous session (in this case none) when I say yes the problem keeps happening but when I say no the problem stops. To make thins even more difficult just now it didn't let me choose "cancel" because the keyboard and the mouse have the same problems I explained before.

Are they each separately paired with the computer via BT preferences?
You also can check your Startup Disk preferences by selecting your startup volume then clicking on Restart. Does this cause a faster restart?
You might also try booting into Safe Mode then booting normally. Safe mode takes considerably longer for startup and will require you enter your password.

Installed Update and Now CUDA doesn't work.

I just allowed my machine to do an Adobe update and now when I open any project it displays the following message "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration, which is not available on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used." Until now I have been able to utilize the GPU acceleration beautifully. Is it just a bad update ? Or does someone know how to fix it?

You will need to redo the 'hack' to get your card working again. The update overwrites the text file.

10.6.7 update and now Canon printer problems

I had the automatic 10.6.7 update two days ago and everything is fine except now I have printer issues with Canon MF8350. I can still scan, I can print from Safari, I can print from some .pdf but not others, I am unable to print anything from Word - they all come out as blank pages. Updates from Microsoft and Canon didn't help.
If you don't know, anyone at least know how I can uninstall the update? I know how to find the updates list, but not how to get it out.

I just want to let you all know that I fixed my printing problem.
I could not add my printer under the System Preference>Print & Fax after I did the reset. But I can add the printer back to my Mac Pro by connecting the USB cable to the tower. When I connected my USB cable back to the Apple Extreme. The printer was offline. I did so many different thing still not working. Then I go the the discussion forum on Airport Express and ... I also followed a lot of advises there. Then someone give out a link on Apple support. I following the advise half way still printer was offline. Then I went to my Mac Book and to reset the printer, and add printer again, and click share this printer. I went back to my Mac Pro, and try print a page, I choose nearby printer (there was never has this option for me before). It has another printer icon with Canon MX310 series-1. Bingo, it printed from my Mac Pro also. I have two printer icons on my Mac Pro, one is the same name as the Mac book. I was very happy. It was 4 in the morning. Well, finally I could sleep good.
I am still not sure exactly what the step to make my printer work again (Trial and Error). But I learn a lot by reading advises on this forum.

I am trying to install updates and now it appears itunes is not even installed on my computer anywhere.

i am trying to update itunes on my laptop and it gave me an error message (2324) and now it appears that itunes is no where on my computer. Please help.

Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:
Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled

Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
cheers.

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

Vista just updated and now we have a black wallpaper - Satellite P300

Windows Vista updated last night on our P300 laptop and now acts rather weird.
We get only a solid black wallpaper and a lot of the icons we had are no longer there, and it wont change the wallpaper. Most programs arent loading at startup like normal (only the anti virus) and most things are missing from the start menu... has this happened to anyone before? It almost sounds like what they do when you have a pirate copy of Vista (and of course this one IS legit as it came with the lappy)...
Any suggestings?
I havent physically got to see the laptop and wont be able to til tomorrow myself... Though knowing my mate its probably only something simple but thought there check around before I get there incase.
Thankyou :)

Solved the problem..
A windows update some how damaged the register.
I hit log off in windows, then tried to click the user name to log in (we have it set to just auto log in) and while trying to load the profile, we got a The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
A system restore fixed the issue... :)

Hi 463739, <br />Sorry you are having problems.
If they are general problems with a computer probably the best we can do is comment briefly and suggest where else you may get help.
*You seem to be posting from a Windows XP computer is that correct ?
* Is that the machine you have problems with ?
*What exactly do you mean by no desktop ? <br />( I wonder if Windows Explorer is failing )
*Try starting your computer in Windows Safe Mode.<br /> See http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx
If you suspect Malware the following is the standard advice. Note it is strongly suggested you use multiple scanning tools.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ AdwCleaner: (for adware)]
* [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Installed Maverick and now iPhoto wont open, help

I've just installed Maverick from using Snow Leopard and now iPhoto won't open and the message"You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it is not supported on this type of Mac." appears. Since I have hundreds of photos in iPhoto and iPhoto was supported on this mac previously how can I access them?

Since my last post I found some instructions courtesy of Old Toad. They might work for you.
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library if the photos are missing.
Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Installed update and now i have problems...help!!!
