Is it safe to update software to v4?

I've been avoiding updating to iPhone software v4 (iOS4) on my 3G because of all the terrible feedback on this forum. I imagined that at some point Apple might sort it out. Is it safe to update yet or should I stick with what I've got?

Don't upgrade 3G to iOS4.
I have had numerous conversations with Apple staff by phone, email and at two Apple Stores and, whilst they all admit to the problem, no one has a fix. One Apple Store member of staff told me his 3G is "slow as a slug with iOS4" but he didn't mind as he was getting an iPhone 4 the following week.
None of the suggested ideas re: resets, restores, close windows, etc., make the slightest difference. It also appears that the problem is worse on older 3G phones.
Apple have screwed up big time. They would have known about this from beta testing (if they didn't, then they should outsource their beta testing) but they chose not to inform the public.
It's atrocious and I expected better from them.

Is it safe to update to 10.4.11 yet??

Right now my system is running problem free. It has been for quite a while.
I certainly don't want to go to 10.5 yet until all of that stuff has been worked out, but I was wondering if those of you who have updated to 10.4.11 are running smoothly?
Thanks for the input.

You are really asking in the wrong place - most 'visitors' here have problems, since these discussions are in reality a 'hospital A&E ward'! You won't hear from the millions of people who run 10.4.11 without any problems.
It can be a matter of how updates are installed, rather than what is installed:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webcore on which other applications like iTunes, Mail etc also rely.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.

Is it safe to update to iOS 5.1.1?

Hi,
I have an iPad 2 (64GB WiFi) running 4.3.3 and an iPhone 4 (16GB) running 4.3.5 and would like to know if it is safe to update to iOS 5.1.1?
I've been doing some "Googling" and reading through this forum and what I found is not filling me with confidence... I know the much used "this is like a hospital and only sick people come here" answer, but boy there are lots of "sick people" around with iOS5 problems....
From my research I have found the following major problems:
Battery drain (will this ever go away???)
Problematic WiFi connections after update (worked fine before)
Safari crashes on sites with lots of pictures and video
Apps crashing more than they are actually working (all worked fine before update)
Unresponsiveness of device (as if it is not quite capable of running iOS5)
SIM card read errors (iPhone)
Bluetooth no longer connecting to factory fitted bluetooth car systems (iPhone)
My only previous update is experience is with a 3rd generation iPod Touch which after the update to iOS4 (which broke the video app) and then iOS5 (which at least fixed the video app) is only good for playing music. It so laggy that doing anything else with it is basically impossible.
The iPad 2 & iPhone 4 were designed for iOS4 and not iOS5. Are the iPad 2 & iPhone 4 processors up to the task of fully running iOS5 and specifically 5.1.1 without any glitches and lagging? I'd rather stay on the current version than having my user experience tanked by devices that it not quite capable of running the new version of iOS problem free. I am not one of those people that MUST have the latest version of iOS not matter what. My devices working reliably is much more imporatant that a flashy new iOS. I know Apple says that they are compatible, but they also said that iOS4 & iOS5 will run on a 3rd generation iPod Touch and it just does not....
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jamie

Talking about iOS 4 to iOS 5 in general, I don't see why not to update. iMessage, iCloud and all the new features. There is nothing wrong with 5.1.1 and no serious bugs. Most people's issues here are not related to the OS they are running. Then there are the habitual whiners who create accounts just to tell us that battery life is awful, but they do that after every update. After a week, they all disappear. So update. I can almost guarantee you won't have any issues, and you get all iOS 5 features. You won't regret it. <<=== Base on this justification, let me tell you what i have encountered with you guarantee.
After 2 week of upgrade from iOS 5.1.1, this is what I have encountered.
1) Replace my old SIM Card, as it was totally corrupted by iOS 5.1.1
2) 2 weeks after new SIM Card replacement, [No SIM Card Installed] error emerged. Eventually, you are required to reboot your devices everytime just to ensure your iPhone is back to normal.
If the above, is not an issue; please proceed with his guarantee and upgrade.
If one person complaint No SIM Card Installed issue, you can Blame on bad LUCK. Yet there are alot of people started to post about it; tell me it is their BAD LUCK as well?? There is some definate condition where cause this error.
GOOD LUCK on upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, You NEED it.
As of now, i am just praying when iOS 6 came out; i have not choice to consider upgrade.

I updated my Firefox to 5.0 and now my Kaspersky Password plug-in no longer works. Spoke with them and they do not have a compatible update yet, so I want to go back to Firefox 4.0. How do I do that?

I love the Kaspersky Pure Password program and us it constantly! After updating my Firefox browser from 4.0 to 5.0... I found that the plug-in for my password program no longer worked!
I emailed them and they do not have an update yet that is compatible with Firefox 5.0....
So I need to go back to 4.0 till Kaspersky has an update because I am lost without my password program!
Please help me.

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

When is it safe to update a task sequence?

We have a fairly busy environment, with OSD happening all the time. We have been updating our major task sequences off hours, but I wonder if that is even necessary. After testing in QA, is it safe to update the task sequence at any time without bothering
or confusing workstations that are in the middle of an OSD operation?
I think I understand that the task sequence is pulled down to the local hard drive very early in OSD, and it doesn't return to re-read the task sequence after that. Is that correct? If that's true then we don't need to worry about workstations losing their
place in the task sequence if we update it while they are executing the task sequence.
Thank you for any light others can shed on this.
Gary
Gary Knigge, Senior Systems Analyst Division of Technology Services University of Wisconsin-River Falls Wisconsin, USA

Correct, the machine downloads the task sequence at the beginning of the process and uses that cached copy throughout, so modifying the task sequence will not affect any deployments already executing.
That said, the biggest risk you face in modifying production task sequences is content. If you add a task referencing content that is not yet fully deployed and available, you will cause any subsequent executions to fail. This is especially true of
adding new Driver Packages as there is a known issue with the content not being recognized as valid until Rev2 (you not only have to distribute it to your DPs but also subsequently update the DPs to rev the content).

Is itunes 7 safe to download yet?

I'm still using v6 as people I know have had nothing but problems with 7. Is it safe to download yet? Will the new features make it worthwhile?
Windows XP

No, no, no. I sure wish I read this post a few days ago. Here's what happened to me:
As soon as I did an update to iTunes 7.0... and Quicktime (they were 2 in one), iTunes nor my computer no longer recognize my ipod when attached. Quickime will not play my Quicktime videos (get a neon screen with lines on all of them, yet they will play on Real Player). I've uninstalled and reinstalled each program 3 times, per the chat tech's advise. This has not helped. It is not my USB ports fault, nor my computer,nor my iPod. It's there programs! Anyone else have this problem? I can't restore iPod, as it appears nowhere.I'v had iPod for over 6 months, never a problem with it or Quicktime until this update. Help???? please, please, please! Thanks, Denise

Is it safe to update Flash Player?

Is it safe to update Flash Player?

It's yet safer to entirely remove Flash Player. Adobe offers a Flash Player removal tool.
Then you don't have to deal with the Flash Player updates, or the vulnerabilities.
For displaying video, you might not even need the player, as various common sites that "require" Flash Player can be coaxed into operating with the YouTube5 HTML5 Safari extension, and some by changing the browser id string.
Adobe Flash is capable of far more than playing video, capabilities few other than some games use, and capabilities which make it far more difficult to secure.

The wifi has been lost or disconnected on my iPad. It's the iPad 2 and has not been updated yet. It's IOS 6.1.3 .. how do I add a network back onto it? I have typed in the name and chosen each of the securities and still hasn't connected!

Is it safe to update my iPhone to IOS 5? I have backed it up, synced it, and transferred my purchases but I still get the error message...

So, yes. Backed up, synced, and I have all my purchases transferred... The thing is, I just got a MacBook Pro for my birthday, and I get the error message saying "Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music, videos, and photos.. "
The computer I had been previously using simply would not recognise that iOS5 was available (it was a Windows PC; this is my first apple computer.)
So... Is it safe to update it?
What would I have to do to qualify this laptop as the "computer where I normally sync"?

If everything is on your computer, as it should be, then you are safe.
Not sure what you want.
Your iphone simply mirros the selected content of your computer. If all of your content is on your computer, then it will be on your iphone.

Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

Hi
Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.

Safe to update using different computer?

I'm currently on vacation and the place I'm staying at uses Windows computers, no macs. My phone is usually updated on my MBP. Is it safe to update the OS using a windows computer that is not mine?
I've already made sure that my phone will not sync and no information will be transferred to the computer itself.

It's okay to do the update that way, although it is usually recommended that you backup your iPhone prior to the update in case there are any problems.

Is completly safe to update to v18 now?

Hello to all, since the realease of v.18 I decided not to update because of the several bugs reported about different features like the MSO's display bugs... Is it safe to update now that the content viewer has been updated. Is anyone still experiencing bugs? If you do, which ones?
Thank you,
José.

After testing a few more times, scrolling within MSO is finally working. I had the same bug as with MSO not opening/closing any more (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4203384#4203384). If I rename the MSO and change the blend-in speed of the affected MSO it is working again!
This was actually already described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4210332#4210332

Well mine is a brick now because of it. Since the exact day of updating my 4S has been a mess.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26093562#26093562
I watched it charge up in 20% increments at first. Switching plugged and unplugged status while plugged in.
Took it in to Verizon and they told me the phone looked fine and the battery tested fine. Noted they were seeing a lot of people coming in with similar issues. Associates claimed it was something in the software.
A few weeks later my phone has managed to drop its charge while plugged in and is now a paperweight.
I don't advise it. If you look close enough there are several people reporting the same or similar issues since updating. Simple Yes and No responses are just presumptuous.
