ITunes stalls machine off and on after 10.6.8 Update
iMac i5 10.6.6 installed everything running great, upgraded to 10.6.8, iTunes (10.5) now locks the whole machine up then releases for a brief moment the locks again, this continues until quitting iTunes (10.5), have noted in the activity viewer, disk access spikes into the red in conjunction with lockups, CPU normal.
Created a new library with 1 track in it to eliminate content.
This affects all user profiles and 1 created to test.
Have run latest tech tools all hardware cleared.
Disk Warrior run, all faults cleared, no change.
Did and archive and install with original 10.6.6 disk (not called this anymore but same affect) problem goes away, upgrade to 10.6.8 problem returns?
Have uninstalled iTunes 10.5 with app cleaner and gone back to previous versions of iTunes, no change.
Note: run with extensions off but no audio hardware available to playback and test.
Note 10.6.6 - 10.6.8 update is the combined update using Software Update, I have also downloaded this update and ran this way also. No Joy!
Note: Cannot update to Lion, mate lives rural and Apple have not bothered to write 64bit drivers for Apple USB dialup modem.
Any suggestions other than full format and rebuild?
Apple replaced the logic board under warranty and this resolved the issue, audio fault of some kind..

I just backed up my mac to an external hard drive using Time Machine. What would happen if I turn Time Machine off and then plug the external hard drive back into my computer?
What I am ultimately wanting to do is make more room on my computer by backing up all of my files onto the external hard drive and then deleting them off of my computer. However, neededing to be able to retrieve them from the external hard drive later down the road.
From what I have read and am trying to understand, is that I probably shouldn't have used time machine. I need to use the external hard drive like a basic flash drive where I can put things on and get things off without having it automatically update through time machine everytime I connect it to my computer.
Not tech savvy at all and barely understand basics. I need very simple and easy to understand explanations.sydababy wrote:

BIG BIG MISTAKE ..... youre making a linchpin deathtrap for your data trying to shove everything on a single fragile HD.
Dont suffer the tragedy other people make, buy another or 2 more HD, theyre cheap as dust.
The number of people who have experienced terror by having a single external HD backup is enormous. One failure that WILL HAPPEN, and kaput,......all gone!
Dont do it, its all about redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.
follow here:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Deleting them off your computer is fine....having only ONE copy is extremely BAD.
The Tragedy that will be, the tragedy that never should be
Always presume correctly that your data is priceless and takes a very long time to create and often is irreplaceable. Always presume accurately that hard drives are extremely cheap, and you have no excuse not to have multiple redundant copies of your data copied on hard drives and squirreled away several places, lockboxes, safes, fireboxes, offsite and otherwise.
Hard drives aren't prone to failure…hard drives are guaranteed to fail (the very same is true of SSD). Hard drives dont die when aged, hard drives die at any age, and peak in death when young and slowly increase in risk as they age.
Never practice at any time for any reason the false premise and unreal sense of security in thinking your data is safe on any single external hard drive. This is never the case and has proven to be the single most common horrible tragedy of data loss that exists.
Many 100s of millions of hours of lost work and data are lost each year due to this single common false security. This is an unnatural disaster that can avoid by making all data redundant and then redundant again. If you let a $60 additional redundant hard drive and 3 hours of copying stand between you and years of work, then you've made a fundamental mistake countless 1000s of people each year have come to regret. -

fter updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?
Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order. -
Ok, so i just jailbroke, and my ipod was going into safe mode a lot on its own, so i searched online for a solution, and that was to find the problem cydia tweak i downloaded, one of the ways was to got into the mobilesubstrate settings and single out the tweak, so i turned everything off but one, then my ipod shut off, and now it keeps turning off and on non stop, but never goes to the lockscreen, and the time for this startup and shutdown is prolonged! please Help!!! i tried to restore with itunes but it keeps turning on and off!
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues -
Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off and on after few minutes
My iphone 3 GS has been turned off for a week. Now when I use it it turns off and on (by itself) every few minutes.
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:
Backing up, Updating and Restoring
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first... -
Itunes 9.1 won't open after 3/30/10 update
I let the software update prompt me to install the new version. It wouldn't open afterwards. I've gone through all of the troubleshooting articles and tips that I could execute and still none of them work. I've completely uninstalled all itunes, quicktime, and related components and then reinstalled. It still doesn't open. I'm a relatively happy (until now) itunes user, but I'm getting very frustrated and making contingency plans to recover my library and get it off of this laptop. Can anyone help me? Apple are you doing anything about this?
Hi People, thanks for your help. I had the same problem. After being prompted to update to iTunes Ver. 9.1 I went ahead and let it automatically update and install iTunes and Quicktime. After updating to Ver. 9.1, iTunes would not open or run on my Windows XP system. It would show up in "processes" as a running program but would not show up on my screen.
After reading your discussion about how Bonjour would interfere, I tried to uninstall it. It wouldn't uninstall because it is using one of the processes. I tried quite a few things including completely uninstalling all Apple programs and reinstalling iTunes. I manually uninstalled Bonjour. No luck!
Here's what you need to do. After reinstalling iTunes, Navigate to the Program Files\ Bonjour folder and rename this folder Bounjour.Old. Restart the computer. Bounjour service should not now show up as a service in Administrative Tools\Services. DELETE the Bonjour.old folder. THEN go to Control Panel - Remove Programs and REMOVE Bounjour. It will now uninstall sucessfully.
After doing this iTunes started right up, loaded all my old settings, and recognized my iPod just like normal. Hooray and good luck. -
Why are my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 so slow, and crashes after the iOS 8 updates?
Even after the iOS 8.0.2 update, both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 are very slow to respond to the touchscreen. Some of my apps crash. Safari is very slow. Everything about the iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 are just overall slow, and sometimes unresponsive. I feel like I am using one of the first android touchscreen phones and tablets. They do not any longer feel like an Apple product. I wish I had never updated.
Also forgot to mention about the syncing with iTunes. Each morning, I have to literally turn off and then turn back on the 4S iPhone and the iPad 2 to get them to be seen by iTunes and sync. Yes, I am using the updated 11.4 iTunes on my iMac.

Iphone 4 turns off at 20% after iso7.0.2 update any ideas
Can any one help
Hello Callykay,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was unexpectedly powering off. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Sound card cutting out and clicking after 1.6 firm update in windows
I don't know whats going on... but after I ran the firmware update 1.6 on my MBP, my sound card went crazy on the windows partition. The card will put out sound for awhile and then it will turn off and make very annoying clicking noises. I boot to the Mac side and everything is fine. It really ***** because I am a DJ and the number one part of this computer I use intensely is the sound card.... Help! I am going to call apple tomorrow but I think they will not help kindly in windows even with an apple care...
I had experienced this issue on my late 2007 MacBook Pro.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8136560�
Until this post, I had not heard of it on the new MacBook Pros.
I would guess that this issue has been caused by a driver conflict. As someone else had suggested, the Boot Camp drivers for the new MacBook Pros are in desperate need of an update.
Call Apple Support, and ask them to begin an investigation into this problem. Direct them to this thread. They will give you an investigation number that you can monitor.
Many of us have been asking Apple for updated drivers for Boot Camp. The more we call. The quicker Apple will resolve.
Other driver related issues for Boot Camp include the following link that I have noted.

yesterday i tried updating to Ios 8. i new there were going to be some problems but i decided to do it. i started the update and less than a half hour into it my phone completely crashed.it went into recovery mode so i connected it to iTunes. i hit restore and update . it gave me and estimated time that kept going up. finally when it got to 800 hours it stopped and said an error occurred. i tried it again and the same error occurred. i am very disappointed in this because i greatly need my phone for school and other important things. i wasn't gonna wait that time anyway. i would like to know if there is anyway i don't have to update, get out of this screen without waiting forever, speed up the time, or get my computer to not crash when it gets to so many hours. (i have windows) plz help me out asap!!!
I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S. The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening. Suffice it to say I am not amused. Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.
