IO80211Family.kext will not load after 10.4.10...

I updated my Mac Pro the day after 10.4.10 came out and all was well...
Today I decided it was time to update my MacBook Pro. All is NOT well...
After the 10.4.10 update I get this error:
The system extension "/System/Library/Extentions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirPortAtheros. kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.
My Airport will no longer work. >:(
I have tried repairing the permissions and all the other normal stuff including reinstalling 10.4.10 combo intel and moving a copy of IO80211Family.kext from my Mac Pro.
What Now?

I ended up using "Pacifist" on the older 10.4.9 intel Combo update to install the old IO80211Family.kext over the new 10.4.10 one...
This fixed the problem for now, but doesn't explain why the new one would be doing that on my MacBook Pro and just a very few others that I have found out about... ??? Apple?

My imac will not load after I enter my password. The only thing I get is the arrow from my mouse on top of a blank white screen. Can anyone tell me what this is? I've restarted and turned off several times. I left it on in this state for 8 hours hoping it would reload and work. No luck.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

PE 9 will not load after installing Elements 10

Installed Elements 10 on Vista 64-bit. Did not uninstall Elements 9. Now PE 9 will not load; get window Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - No Disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Harddisk2\DR2. Tried disk 2 of 3 from package, nothing happens.

Tried twice, PE9 still locked up both times - I think the intent is to have me try PE10, because that did work!!!

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

Firefox will not load after a update, even in safe mode

I click on the firefox icon
It starts to load with the hourglass on the mouse thig going, then it does not start. I tried in the safe mode,
It will not load
My Computer said it was updating fire fox just before that.
I have removed all the cookies everywhere using that CC Cleaner
I have restarted the computer

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).

If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
Clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Mac Mini will not load after recent update.

My late 2012 model Mac Mini just had a software update and upon rebooting, my login name did not populate. I rebooted again and now I get the gray screen with spinner and progress bar. Once the progress bar loads I have just the spinner for a minute or so before it cuts off completely. I use a wireless MAC keyboard and it will not load into safe mode when I try holding down SHIFT upon reboot. Any suggestions?

Aperture 2.1.4 update will not load after Snow Leopard update

Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

Content of old emails will not load after Yosemite upgrade

I recently installed Yosemite. All my old emails are still there, listed under the 'Sort by date' column, with sender, subject and the first few words showing. but the content will not load. New emails are downloading and content showing fine. I have played around with all the settings in Mail Preferences Viewing — download remote content etc — but nothing seems to work. I have also run "Verify Permissions", with no luck. If I search for something through the Finder, and what I am searching for appears in an email, I can pull up the email that way and all the content loads fine. So the content is all there. It is just not showing up through Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Check the Ask before closing setting in the Terminal preferences dialog.

Earlier messages will not load after 8.3 ios update

The earlier messages will not load for imessage. The clock turns as if it is going to load but it does not load and then the cursor drops to the bottom of the imessage...

Not unless you've reported it directly to them (posting it here does not accomplish this as we are just users like you). I don't believe this is a problem with the update or a widespread problem; it seems to be a problem with individual devices. I'm not experiencing it on my 5S. The next step in user troubleshooting would be to back up and restore your software to see if this resolves it.

Safari will not load after installing OSX 10.7.5

I recently replaced the hard drive and reinstall MAC OSX 10.7.5 and migrated the the data successfully. Did all the software updates. All software and apps work except Safari. Safari will not open. I did a few of the recommended tips on the discussion boards on here but none of them has worked. I went to ~/library/Preferences and put the com.apple.safai.plist on my desktop and tried relaunching safari. Same issue. I unistalled Safari from my applications folder using appzaper and then reinstalled it. Still same issue. One tip was to restore the system. Unfortunetly this system does not have a time machine backup so that will not work. What other tips do you all suggest i try? I'm currently running Safari version 6.0.2

First, delete the Safari application.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

Win 8.1 will not load after update from 8.0

I have a M6-K010dx with win 8. Was fine for 2 years untill updated win 8.1. Now can not access nor recover or re-install win 8. Was purchased at Best Buy but was not given any software or keys. No keys on bottom. When trying to re-install system it says partistion is not there for use. I have tried to call Best Buy and they say I must buy new software and recovery disks. I have tried to boot from USB but will not do it. Have changed in bios for boot order. I do not have a USB DVD but cnan probably get one. If I DL ISO I will not have key to use.
It would appear that as the screen flashes on and off that it may be a video driver problem but have no way of fixing if it is. Do not think I should have to buy new software as I paid for it at purchase and not sure if I did I could install from USB. Because of the lack of rercover partition not there I would think I was sold a defective system.
Any help appreciated.

Hi @guaranteed ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Windows 8.1 not loading correctly after an update. Windows 8.1 is just an update and would not remove your partition.
You can reinstall Windows 8 with any Windows 8 disk as long as it is the same version as yours. Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional. It will install and update with no issues.
You might want to look at this document on some different options.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Will not load after update

I have an Imac DV with OS X 10.3. I turned it on the other day and after it loaded up, it said there were updates available. I had it install the updates and then when it tried to restart, it went through loading up until it got into the loading window part and then it stopped and will not go any farther. I have tried several times but it will not get past that part. I don't have any install discs. Anyone help? Thanks. Bob

You're Welcome Bob!
Without install discs, how, and when, did you upgrade to Panther 10.3.x?
Was the iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 installed, before the upgrade?
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
But, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!

App Store will not load after upgrading to mac osx 10.7.2

Upgraded my MacBook Pro to 10.7.2 and now App Store will not present any information... seems to hang trying to connect to the store. This is just one symptom of issues after the upgrade... Outlook, Safari, KeyChain Access, etc all failing to load or to operate properly.

Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
Then restart your Mac.
If you still have problems, you may need to repair the startup disk.
Use Lion Recovery to do that.

Firefox will not load after an auto update

I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit operating system. I think that FireFox automatically updated today and now I cannot start FireFox. I get a box that states add-ons are being checked for compatibility. The 32-bit designation is shown and it just spins and spins and will not go beyond that screen. I've tried everything I can think of to start FireFox but nothing seems to work. Help I'm having to use IE and I hate it.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 29.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* (32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
* (64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
