Is there any problem with 10.4.9 update?

After running software update to 10.4.9 my G4 powerbook hung on startup - after login seemed normal enough only to freeze with no dock, no menubar... I forced it to restart and it seemed ok for a while. Then when trying to wake it from sleep the screen went black and I had to force it to power down. Seemed fine after a safe boot.
G5 powermac - screen froze, on restart 3 beeps (ran AHT and it says the RAM's fine). Forced it to power down, on restart got POST after a delay of about 5 seconds longer than normal, but no video. Then the fan ramped up to full speed Forced it to shut down again before starting up in a safe boot. After fsck and permissions check,it now seems ok.
All this occurred after using software update to 10.4.9.
I've had some pretty nasty problems with the G5 since the powersupply had to be replaced, and the AASP sent the machine back to me with a test logic board left inside. I won't be taking my machine back to that particular central London AASP any time soon. They eventually took the machine back to fit a brand new logic board. I'm guessing these latest problems could be down to the update since both machines are having problems. Does any of this sound familiar?
Thanks

I have been experiencing very poor performance from my imac and as a result i have decided to wipe everything after two pain staking nights of backing things up. After which I proceeded to update it and guess what? errors popped up while updating a few of them. so i decided to instead update it one at a time and found out that quicktime and 10.4.9 were the problems. After my 10.4.9 update I found that I was having the same issues as before:
1.0 my seagate external 400gb hard drive cannot be recognised although both my western digital(s) and maxtor external drive had no problems
2.0 when unmounting any external drive (including flash drives and ipod) it will take a good few minutes and sometimes even longer. While it is unmounting I am not able to use my mac at all
3.0 slower overall performance in dashboard, finder, etc... the list goes on
I am very sure that the 10.4.9 update is not for everyone as for now I wiped my hard drive again and revert to my safe 10.4.8. I really hope that apple can do something about this as I have been to the genius bar (apple store) and it seems that I am the only one complaining about these issues.
Really disappointing after spending nearly 2grand pounds for this....
Cheers

  • Are there any problems with Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) and PPC Clients

    Hi,
    are there any problems identified yet with Snow Leopard Server, installed on a Xserve and PPC Clients running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard?
    Currently I have a Xserve Intel running Leopard Server and about 12 Mac Minis PPC running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The Xserve serves services like DNS, OpenDirectory, Software Update Server, NetBoot, etc. All users have Home Directories stored on the Xserve.
    Now I want to install Snow Leoaprd Server on the Xserve, but I wonder if there are any problems using the PPC Clients? I have read something like this on a german website.
    Thanks!

    We've actually found that the Server 10.6.3 DVD does an amazingly smooth job of upgrading 10.5.8. We've been upgrading our production servers and nothing has gone wrong yet. Snow Leopard employs an archive and install method of upgrading which results in an install which is very close to a clean install. So it's been very convenient for us because our servers are used as Windows PDCs and it's a pain in the *** to have to re-join all PCs to the domain if we start from scratch.

  • Are there any problems with motion menus and buttons in DVDSP 2 on OS 10.4?

    I have not used DVD Studio Pro 2 since upgrading to Tiger but it appears to no longer be showing moving motion on menus and buttons.
    Are there any problems that I should be aware of when using DVDSP2 on OS 10.4?
    I have not upgrade to a newer version only because I do not have any HD software to create DVDs.
    Thanks

  • Are there any problems with un-compressing a drive?

    Bottman wrote:
    The only issue that I can think of is if the compressed files are then larger than the available space on the drive.
    If you're worried about this, you could uncompress a block of files at a time.
    The drive is currently 67% free.  I don't know what the compression ratio is but it probably wouldn't cause an issue with drive space.

    I have a very important 2TB logical disk (NTFS, Basic, not the system disk) attached to a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine.  Write performance has been very slow with large files and I realized that "Compress this drive to save disk space" is checked for the whole drive.  Are there any issues with disabling this feature?  It's easy enough to enable but I don't know what happens when I disable it.

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

  • Photoshop Premiere 9 vs 13? Are there any problems with CPU usage and crashing?

    I stopped using Premiere, because they the computer would freeze and/or the program. I was curious if there was any issue with people currently using Version 13?  I think I loaded it on this computer along with Photoshop Elements 9.  After a while I just kept Photoshop Elements.
    System Specs:
    Windows 7 premium home edition
    Processor Intel R Core TM i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz
    Installed Memory 6.00GB   826 GB free
    64 Bit Operating system

    stephanies
    If 64 bit, while 9 will be a 32 bit application with the limitations of a 32 bit application on 64 bit system, 13 will be a 64 bit application which translates into more computer resources available to 13.
    Elements Organizer 9 will not integrate with Elements Organizer 13 although you can convert the 9 catalog in Elements Organizer 13. And there is a marked difference in the workspace between the two versions. Principles tend to stay the same, but features can be moved, changed, or discontinued.
    I would have expected Premiere Elements 9/9.0.1 to have worked in your computer environment. Since it did not, I would strongly suggest that you look at the free 30 days tryout of Premiere Elements 13/13.1 in your computer environment to assure the compatibility of it with your computer environment and project goals.
    Lots of causes for program crashes (any version).
    a. Conflicts with antivirus program.
    b. Problem with video card graphics card
    c. Use of a pen and table device instead of mouse
    d. Problematic source media and format conflicts
    e. Not running program as Administrator
    f. Poor installation
    g. Failure to install QuickTime along with Premiere Elements on the computer
    h. Not meeting System Requirements in some way.
    i. Other

  • Are there any problems with Lion and Adobe CS5 ?

    I am wanting to upgrade to Lion but don't want to have the hassle of trying to fix any problems as I have heard some people had problems with earlier versions of Adobe Creative Suit and Lion and having recently moved I have no clue where my CS5 keys are so before doing so I want to know there will be no errors.
       Peoples experiences would be appreciated and many thanks.

    I have upgraded two Mac mini's which both have the Adobe Creative Suit Cs5 Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. I have had no issues regrding the upgrade, they just work.
    However I do have two user interface issues. InDesign the keyboard page up, page down keys no longer work as expected, they simply jump to the next screen, the workaround is to use a trackpad for the left hand and use two finger scrolling.
    The other is the arrow buttons in the vertical scroll bar no longer exist, so again the trackpad comes in for scrolling.
    This applies for almost all software and the finder.

  • Are there any problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination?

    Hello,
    we have a Livelink  Server database running with two replicas on two nodes as Always On Group, both instances running extended protection in "allowed" mode.
    Our company security policy demands setting the extended protection to "required".
    Are there any known problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination?
    Environment:
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise X64 SP1
    DB: SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5556.0)
    Thx & BR
    Achim

    Hi Achim,
    According to my knowledge, there are no known problems with a "required Extended Protection" / "Always On" / "Livelink Server" combination.
    Extended Protection helps to prevent an authentication relay attack by using service binding and channel binding. We need to note that when Extended Protection is set to
    Required, only connections from protected applications on protected operating systems are accepted. This setting is the most secure but connections from operating systems or applications that do not support Extended Protection will not be able
    to connect to SQL Server. For more details, please review the following article.

  • Are ther any Problems with HTML in iOS 6?

    We are having a problem with animated HTML-Objects in Adobe DPS. It's seems to be related with the iOS 6 update. We have two iPads, one with the updated software (iOS 6) and the other without it (iOS 5). Both of these have been updated with the new Adobe Content Viewer. The one with the old iOS works perfectly (HTML, Edge Animation, Videos) but the other with the most-up-to-date software does not. The HTML doesn't play and some times plays it once. We even tried by adding it to the HTMLResource folder to be trigger by a button to open a new window by itself, but no joy. Again we don’t have any of these problems on the iPad without the current software update. They all work perfectly

    All the HTML content on my iOS 6 devices renders fine.
    What does a web page from a non-Adobe DPS site look like?
    From your description, it's a problem with the Adobe software.
    Contact them.

  • Is there a problem with the new aperture update ?

    Hi,
    Got the lastest update for aperture and just opened up some recent photos in aperture and it looked like missing pixels in the picture. Some of the pictures, distortion of pixels was terrible. At first I thought my new Macbook pro screen was faulty. It was the third time today that I was looking at the same pictures and I knew there was no problem with the file and then I remembered the aperture update. I opened the same pictures with iphoto and then set the photos as desktop pictures and they came out perfect.
    Has anyone else had the same problems after the update ?
    Thanks.

    Hi, welcome to the forum
    Sometimes these issues are user related, but not always.. I agree with Allan that you need to let Aperture finish its tasks.
    Here is a link to an article that you can work through to see if you can resolve your specific problem....... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    This will step you through some issues and hopefully help you resolve your problem.

  • Is there any problem with the new update 6.1.2 for iphone 5?

    After I updated my iphone 5 to the new update there seems to be some difficulties with the camera. I get pink lines everywhere. It is a matter of seconds before it gets clear and again pink. But the problem started after the update. I asked other people who use iphone 5 and they said they didnt have the same problem. Its kinda weird I think. any suggestions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the red slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove the camera app from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Camera app
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Are there any problems with running PPro CS4 under WIN7...?

    I've successfully created a dual boot of WIN XP Pro 64-bit and WIN 7 Professional 64-bit on my RAID10, 2-TB drive.
    I've been running numerous basic programs successfully under WIN 7. It has been totally stable for over a month and therefore I am about to transition Production Premium CS4 over to the WIN 7 partition from WIN XP where I've been running it for the past two years.
    I'm just wondering if there are any consistent problems that have surfaced with this new OS and CS4?
    I've looked through the forums and don't see much, so I have high hopes. But in case I've missed something, what should I watch out for?
    Intel DX48BT2 mobo, 2.83GHz Q9550 Core2Quad, 8gb DDR3 @1333GHz, nVidia GTX260XXX, 2TB SATA RAID10 drives, 100GB SATA scratch drive, 2 x 1TB eSATA external RAID 10 drives (LaCie & JMicron w/controller card), LG SATA Blu-Ray Burner.
    All drivers & updates are current.
    TIA,

    Having learned that with ADOBE there is always some nightmare scenario, I am stopping in my tracks until I get more information.
    I installed (non-trial) Production Premium CS4 in the Win7 partition without problem. Opened PrPro and exported media using Encore and my preferred codec. So far, so good.
    As expected, I got the "Excuse the interruption" message telling me that there were already two copies with the same serial number running - I have one on my laptop and the other is, of course, in the Win XP partition on the same computer & hard drive as this new install.
    I chose the "30 days to fix the issue" option.
    This was so I could migrate my preferences, keyboard & other presets to the Win7 install and confirm their proper operation before activation.
    PITA #1 - In XP, presets, prefs, etc., are located in "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\."
                     In Win7, they are located in "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\. This is a hidden folder, so you must go to Folder Options\View and check "Show Hidden Folders." I think this is now in Control Panel\Settings ( I got there through a Help link so I'm not sure, but it is not in the folder headers "Tools" anymore).
    PITA #2 - After copying my PrPro presets, prefs, keyboard settings, etc., to the above location, I tried to open PrPro to confirm everything. This was about an hour after my previous session. I now no longer get the "30-day option!!!" Only "Activate" "Buy a License" or "Quit!"
    PITA #3 - Since I don't know how Deactivation and Activation work, I am not about to go any further. Since both copies are on the same physical computer and hard drive, they obviously cannot both be online at the same time. I am concerned that whatever happens at Adobe's end of this will not see the deactivation or will not properly activate the new install and then I'll be left with nothing operational. If they cannot keep track of the start date of the new install and wiped out the 30-day test period in an hour, I do not have much confidence that the activation process with go so well. I think there are a limited number of activations as well, and I don't know what that applies to or how that works. I can see a scenario where I have to re-activate the Win XP partition to try and track down something and then get stuck there because I've used up my activations and can't re-activate the Win7 partition.
    Anyone have any insights on any of this...???
    TIA,
