Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the Security update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

  • TS3276 I have issues with mail unexpectedly quitting, any suggestions?

    Has anyone ever had issues with mail and/or Safari "unexpectedly quitting" repeatedly and the only thing that seems to temporarily fix it is to restart the computer?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Issue with Photo Sharing on iPhoto on Mac

    Hellp everyone, this is my first time posting on the Apple Support communities. I have been having issues with my Photo Sharing on my Mac (Iphoto 11). I recently was on vacation and wanted to share the photos with my girlfriend and a few family members. I uploaded my photos to Iphoto on my mac and then went to Share, Photo Stream, and then crated a Photo Stream of our vacation. It asks me to name the photo stream and invite people. When I click on ok it creats the photo stream and the people I invited get invitations to join the photo stream, however, when I go to look at the photo stream there is no photos in it and none of the people i invited see any of the photos either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

    SOLVED!
    I had the same question.  Visited this thread and was disappointed to hear the feature was gone.
    Then I thought it just COULDN'T be.  So I kept tapping.  AND FOUND IT!
    Basically, when you are in your Photos App, as a previous poster said, it now divides your photos into "Moments".  These moments are arragned by Place and Date.
    Wherever it says the name of a place, just tap the name of the place (above the tiled thumbnails of the pics taken in that place) and you will be taken to a map, centered on the Moment in question.  Use finger gestures to zoom in and out, and you will see the pics you have taken, georeferenced and tagged to the locations you took them, as before (except now in IOS7 it uses Apple Maps, not Google).

  • Issue with Mail's Accounts.plist

    Hi, I've got the following issue: I used to save e-mails to different directories on the hard drive of an extern file server at work, so as to store them there and so that everyone in the office had access to those correspondenses. Anyway, I work with Apple Mail, and used to use "File>Save as..." in the menu. In the save as dialog window I chose "Formated text" and clicked on "Add attachments" (Note: I work on a German system, so I do not exactly know the phrases used on an English Mac). Worked just fine, everytime I did this with an e-mail that had attachments enclosed to it, I ended up with an rtfd-suffixed file and could always see the attachments by ctrl-clicking the rtfd-file etc. Ever since I have upgraded to Lion however, something goes wrong during the process of saving everything to the hard disk. After trying to find the source almost all day now, I am quite sure the culprit is found in this file:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
    Twice I replaced this file by renaming it and restarting Mail. In both cases (and after I had set up one mail account again, because that's obviously what the file Accounts.plist is for - storing the information about the accounts used with Mail) the save process worked perfectly well, with the attachments in place and everthing. Then, in the first of my two tries, the trouble came back after I added just one more of the accounts I administer on my Mac. I tried again, and this time I succeded and set up all my accounts as I need them and everything was great and working. After a wee break for celebrating my triumph I played a little more with Mail, changing its settings here and there, just to make it looking nice etc. Then the thought came up, that I should - just to be on the safe side - one last time try and see if saving the mails in the way, I want to do it, still works. It didn't. Same trouble back. What now?

    I quit mail and then opened it again, and everything is now correct...incoming server is now filled in correctly, and mail is now working again...

  • 10.4.8 update - issues with mail and airport

    Gah! Just as I was signing up so I could post on this board, my airport connection went bye-bye.
    Initially I tinkered with my router (linksys) settings. Recycled everything a bajillion times. Not sure what caused a partial resolution, but my connection is no longer crawling, but it drops a few times a day. The only solution at this point is to recycle modem and router and restart computer.
    Now I am having issues with my mail application. Whenever I "get mail" I am prompted for my password. I type it in, plus check the box "add to keychain". App searches for mail. So I went into account prefs and noticed there is no password in the dialog box. I type it in. If I save and close the dialog and then reenter, the password is once again missing. Huh??
    So I reinstalled with the combo update (I had previously installed via software update), verifying/repairing disk before, repairing permissions after.
    I have removed the system config folder in order for the system to create a new one.
    When I look in keychain access, the only thing in there is the airport login. I have also performed a keychain first aid. Nothing appears to be wrong.
    Any suggestions??
    I patiently await responses.
    Oh, and I applied the first update in proper fashion as well. No weird third party stuff, etc. And I didn't have any of these issues pre-update...
    mbp   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    1. Reset the router by holding down the button in the
    rear for 10 seconds.
    I've done that ad nauseum, plus tweaked router settings, plus recycled modem/router many times. It does not appear to be a problem with the router hardware or software.
    2. Toss your Mail Account, and make a new one.
    If indeed that is the solution, is there an efficient way to save/export messages so I don't lose them?

  • Issues with Mail Connection in iOS6

    I have a weird issue that's been plaguing me since I upgraded to iOS 6.  My company hosts its mail using an Apple Mail server running 10.5 (yes, outdated, we know and are migrating to Google).  I used to have no problem connecting via IMAP to my mail account on my iPhone 4.  I upgraded to iOS 6 and was receiving an error that mail could not connect to my work account.  I deleted and re-added the account and it seemed to work until a few days later when the issue returned.  I did a restore on my phone and again all seemed well.  About two days later I upgraded to an iPhone 5.  I migrated my data to it from my latest backup in iTunes, done the day prior (day after my restore).  Everything was peachy until a week later when I began getting connection issues in Mail.app again.  I deleted and re-added my account, this time it didn't work.  I restored my phone, it worked...for another week.  I began getting connection issues again.  I've now found a reproducible pattern and horrible work-around and am wondering if anyone else is encountering this.  Here are my steps:
    Mail.app starts telling me it cannot connect to my account.
    I delete the account and reboot the phone.
    After reboot the account IS BACK.  Seriously, it comes back after the first reboot 90% of the time.
    I delete the account again and reboot my phone.
    I verify the account is really deleted and re-add it, then it will work for about a week.
    Ever so often when I reboot that first time the account appears to be deleted.  If I re-add my account then it will not connect, I have to delete and reboot and if the account appears there again then I can delete it a second time and it will actually work when I re-add it after reboot.  Sound confusing?  It is.  One time when I rebooted my phone ALL of my mail, contacts, calendar accounts deleted.  That was awesome.
    Am I all alone here?  Do I have to totally restore the phone without restoring from backup?  Since I've been using iOS since the first iPhone that latter answer is definitely not an easy one to comply with.  So many things I'd have to re-download and configure.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Okay everyone! I struggled with this problem for a long time, and I was just about to send a complaint to Spotify when it worked for me! See, I did a little different than before; this is the list I was going to file:
    "1. I open Spotify from the application menu.
    2. I choose "Online" mode.
    3. My phone asks me how I want to connect to the Internet.
    4. I pick "Easy WiFi".
    5. I choose my WiFi network from the list.
    6. Application seems to be signing me in.
    7. My phone asks me again how I want to connect to the Internet.
    8. I repeat the procedure. Spotify can't connect with WiFi.
     -I have tried to connect using other WiFi networks, didn't work.
     -Before I updated last time I could connect without problem.
     -I can connect using 3G.
     -I can connect using WiFi in other applications than Spotify, for example Opera Mobile and the native browser.
     -I have reinstalled the application without difference."
    However, I did it a little different, which made it work: instead of choosing "Easy WiFi", I choose my network directly from the list: see attachment. I never thought of that I could do so and I can't remember I did that before the update either. I have now synced my tracks and the app seems to be a little buggy, I still hope for an update, though it now works at least. Sometimes it crashes.
    Please, tell me about if this worked for you and if you have other, better solutions. This isn't good enough, I still seek a better way.

  • How I solved issues with Mail.app and Spotlight

    Even though my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard was painless, the new OS X did have a few issues that had bothered me:
    *Mail.app: * Every now and then, the app would behave like on its first startup, saying it needs to import my mail before I can work with it. What's more, at times I've had the phenomen that messages would appear empty on the preview pane and sometimes even when being opened.
    *Spotlight: * Even though I let the indexing finish on the first day of working under Leopard, every now and then it seemed to start all over. First, I thought it's the NAS being indexed but it just went on to restart indexing each time I thought I had let it finish.
    *Free disk space: * I tried to bring the usage of my homedirectory down so I would have enough free disk space to switch FileVault off and then back on so I could start using TimeMachine. But whatever I did, the free disk space just wouuldn't inrease - it just stayed the same (yes, I did let the system recover space on shutdown).
    The *free disk space* issue made me think there was a problem with my disk but repeated runs with the Disk Utility yielded nothing...not for about a month. Yesterday I got some warnings about 'damaged but not repaired' but according to an Apple doc those could be safely ignored.
    Somebody suggested to apply the combo update for 10.5.1 as that could solve some issues so I went ahead - after all, the update had already been applied earlier so just re-installing wouldn't hurt much, right?
    Wrong.
    The install of the combo update went smoothly, FileVault recovered some space on shutdown but upon restart I couldn't log in anymore: My homedirectory was damaged. The friendly OS X Leopard offered to repair it but soon later reported back that it failed doing so.
    Now, to cut a long story short - deleting the affected user's account and using a different user on the same machine (without FileVault) solved any issues I've had. Mail now works like a charm (despite 40k+ messages with attachments), spotlight doesn't restart all it's indexing and disk space is shown correctly again. Also the odd corrupt file copy I had experienced occasionally (especially with large files) was gone.
    My advise to anyone who didn't de-activate FileVault under Tiger to make the switch to Leopard: Even if you think it worked, switch it off and let Leopard set it up again. You may think things went right...but the above shows that there may be issues with it that you may blame other apps for...but they're probably not guilty at all.
    I don't think the combo update actually caused FileVault to turn corrupt, it was just what broke the camel's neck. While it's no fun to lose your homedirectory, I'm glad the underlying issue finally came to light.

    Thanks to this thread, it's been solved.

  • Issues with mail when I have to change my yahoo password

    Hello
    I am having problems with mail on my mac.
    1) For some time I have been unable to send photos by email from iphoto.  When I try to do this it says 'the email server didn't recognise your username/password combination'.  I'm not sure how to fix this.
    2) I just had to change my yahoo account password today and now I am frequently getting a box up that says 'The SMTP server "stmp.mail.yahoo.com" rejected the password for user "my email address".  Enter your password again or cancel.
    It doesn't matter if I enter the new password or the old one - I am having this message keep popping up.
    I would appreciate help with this.
    Thanks

  • Seagate ST8000AS0002 8TB 5900RPM 128MB Cache SATA3 - for Backup Data Only. Are there any compatibility issues with an older  3,1 Apple Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8GHz (4-Core x 2) ?

    Finally mass storage drives are being released. The Seagate ST8000AS0002 8.0 TB 5900RPM has just been released in Australia and I was advised to check on any compatibility issues, being that my 3,1 Mac Pro is an old, but working fine machine.
    I have read there are possible issues with using HDs greater than 2TB with the MP 3,1 . But checking with OWC, they say the Seagate 4.0 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive is compatible for use with the MP 3,1.
    So can the hardware and operating system handle an 8.0 TB of this sort ?

    The problem is with formatting the large disk. The Mac can see and use them if formatted for a Mac
    Format large disks
    That bug appeared in 10.8.4, and has not yet been fixed.
    using a Disk Utility from any older Mac OS X, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any saved Installer DVD or thumb drive will work.
    Another work-around is to move that drive to an external enclosure and Erase it there (provided your enclosure is modern enough to deal with drives over 2.2TB.

  • Any issues with adding this card to my mac?

    I would like to add a card to my mac pro that will enable me to capture video from certain types of HD video cameras.
    1. Do I have a slot available to put in one of these cards?
    2. Are there any potential issues with doing this?
    3. I am guessing that by adding the card, it will create an open port on the back of the mac that will allow me to connect the camera.
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
    I have the Dual-Core Intel XeonProcessor Speed: 3 GHz.
    Thanks!!!!

    The Intensity HDMI card is normally used to capture UNCOMPRESSED video from an HD vidcam.
    Lets say, for example you get a Canon HV20 camera - it has both firewire and HDMI outs. The camera, being HDV, uses HDV compression to write to tape. So once video is on tape, you will be capturing HDV encoded video (just fine with FCP). The HDV standards dictate 1420x1080 even though the sensor of the HV20 is a native 1920x1080. But, since non-square pixels are used, consider it 1920x1080 aspect.
    If you hook the HV20 to your Mac Pro using HDMI and the Intensity card, you can capture uncompressed, native 1920x1080 video. However, you better have enormous and extremely fast Raid storage, as it requires sustained data rates roughly, what, 100 times greater than HDV? And you better have a really long extension cord if you plan to use it in the field, as, you must remember, once written to tape it will be compressed HDV video, so the small gain you'll get from native uncompressed 1920x1080 video is only available at the time you shoot, and only out of the HDMI port.
    HDV looks stunning as is, so unless you are a professional with special requirements (in which case I've not told you anything you don't already know), you may want to rethink this.
    If you shoot well exposed HDV video, and edit with FCP or iMovie HD for that matter, and play back from tape to a 1920x1080i HDTV, it is as good as watching the Discovery Channel HD.
    Good luck,

  • Using Mail files from OSX10.4 with Mail on a OSX10.3 Mac

    Disk died on my OSX 10.4 Mac but I have everything on backup. The Mail program on my other Mac is running under OSX 10.3 (it's a G3 Mac). I can put the mailboxes etc into the library/mail/ directory but the files do not open with the older Mail application. Is there a way to "bring out" the mail messages from the bundled format of 10.4 so that I can access my mail records until I get a new drive on the 10.4 Mac?

    The mailbox format used by Mail changed drastically in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Mail 2.x knows about the old format and can import or convert in place mailboxes created by Mail 1.x, but Mail 1.x obviously knows nothing about the new format used by Mail 2.x. Actually, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x mailboxes is broken and Mail 2.x sometimes can only import Mail 1.x mailboxes as Other, but that’s another story...
    Mail’s mailboxes are located in ~/Library/Mail/. Although .mbox packages appear to be files in Mac OS X 10.3, they’re actually folders just like in Mac OS X 10.4. Ctrl-click on an .mbox package and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains.
    For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores all the messages in a single file in standard mbox format (the mbox file within the .mbox folder/package), whereas Mail 2.x stores messages in individual .emlx files within a Messages folder that Mail 1.x knows nothing about.
    You’d need something like emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the .emlx files to standard mbox format in order to be able to import them (as Other / Standard mbox) in Mail 1.x.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • CS5 update date issue with CS4 Student Licensing version

    Before downloading the Flash Pro CS5 update, from Adobe's web-site, I called Adobe and asked this question, " Will the Flash Pro CS5 upgrade work with my Student Licensing version?"  The answer I received (after being put on hold), was "Yes, the CS5 upgrade will work with my version of CS4."
    However...after paying for and downloading the Flash Pro CS5, I am finding that it is not working. The serial number asked for, from my version of CS4, comes up as being not valid.
    Any suggestions as to resolving this issue would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.
