Just installed iMac firmware update - iphoto no longer works (beach ball)

I just installed the most recent iMac and keyboard firmware updates. Now when i try to use iphoto it opens quickly and then as soon as i try to do anything i get the spinning beach ball until i force quit. I have no idea how to fix this. I have rebooted and the same results.
Any ideas?

Well it somehow fixed itself ... now everything works fine ... hopefully it doesn't return.
Thank you.

  • How do I force/re-install failed Leopard update (USB no longer works)?

    Hi everyone,
    The last Leopard update last week went smooth with two out of three of my Macs.
    Unfortunately the update did not work well on my MacBook Pro 17". I let the update
    run over night and in the morning it was still stuck on an "installing" screen. I had no
    choice but to force a reboot. From what I can tell a lot of the system .kext files were
    updated, but my kernel was not. How do I know this? Well my USB ports no longer work
    (well at least with USB memory sticks). I checked my kernel version and it says 9.3.0. The
    versions for the System.kext file under /System/Library/Extensions is showing 9.4.0.
    Obviously I got far enough into the update that the newer system file works (almost)
    with the older kernel.......
    So how can I force this update to run again??? I really don't want to reload my MacBook Pro
    from scratch. There must be a fix... Please help!
    Thanks,
    Mike Bender

    Alternatively, restore your previous good and tested bootable backup/clone, then run the COMBO update again. Don't have one? Then take some time to peruse:

  • Cisco Router tried to take a firmware update and no longer works

    Ok so internet was working fine until Cisco Connect told me to take an update.  My connection is wired and there were no disruptions during the download.  Yet the download still failed and now my power light blinks continuously and there is no internet access.  I tried instructions on "How to unbrick your Cisco Router", even got them to work, it took the firmware update from the cmd line.  Still doesnt work though.  What's wrong with this thing and how do i fix it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I ended up downloading a firmware utility program and was able to get it to reload. The power light became solid somewhere between 2-5 mins, however still didnt connect to the internet.  Found that all this factory resetting will change your Internet access name & password, with no way to find out the new one.  You have to remove the Cisco Connect program from your computer and reload it from the original disk.  Only then will you be up and running again.  While I appreciate the response Helm, I was way beyond a 30 second reset button solution when I posted this lol.

  • I have just installed Firefox 6, and Rapport no longer works - the same problem that you had with Firefox 5. What is happening?

    You prompted me to install Firefox 6 this evening, as it addresses serious security/stability problems, but when I did this, the Rapport icon vanished from the address bar. Reinstalling the current version of Rapport has not fixed this.
    The same thing happened a few months ago with Firefox 5, and it took Rapport a week to develop a new compatible version.
    Why has this happened again? Do you not check this before launching new versions? Or, why at the very least do you not warn us beforehand that some programs will not work for X days? I'd prefer to be without the latest Firefox for a week or so rather than without Rapport - not least because my bank requires me to use Rapport.
    Please advise ASAP.

    This is the link in the message that Trusteer has sent me today. I have updated and works fine thus far.
    Thank you for contacting Trusteer Technical Support.
    We are glad to inform you that a version of Rapport which supports Firefox 6 has
    been released and is now available for download in the following link:

    Please make sure to restart your computer after the installation process is
    completed.
    Please note: This version of Rapport is currently a beta version. We would
    appreciate any feedback you may have regarding this version.
    If Rapport states that the version of Rapport you are trying to install is older
    than the version already installed, please follow these instructions:
    1. Choose to uninstall Rapport
    2. When prompted, select "Delete all user settings". Please be assisted by the
    following image: http://consumers.trusteer.com/files/images/uninstall.jpg
    3. Reinstall Rapport from the link above.

  • After firmware update wifi no longer works on ipad mini

    wifi worked fine before upgrade to ios6.02
    it sees networks but cannot join them? 4G works fine

    Or maybe a reboot of the router would help? Even though everytihng else is working, it might solve the problem. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    A reboot of the iPad might be a good idea as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Just installed HP BIOS Update. HP 6110 all in one printer no longer works.

    Just installed HP BIOS Update.  System no longer recognizes my printer (6110 all-in-one).  HP web site says driver is in OS and should be recognized, but only driver that is close is 6100 series and it does not work. 

    Hey thecityhouse,
    When you are selecting the driver from the available drivers list did you make sure to press the Windows Update button at the bottom right to prepopulate the list?  This may have to be performed to get the proper driver for your printer.
    If this does not work, then I would take a look at the information in the post found here.  It may provide a workaround to the issue you are experiencing.
    Hope this helps,
    Jason

  • Just installed OS X updates and can no longer boot into Bootcamp

    Just installed the latest updates for OS X Yosemite and now I can't boot to my Bootcamp partition. It doesn't show up in Startup Disks and it's not an option when booting while holding Option. The partition still shows up in Disk Utility but it no longer says BOOTCAMP, it now says disk04s. Is this fixable? I just wrote some data to that partition last night that I really don't want to lose and it hasn't yet been backed up. Thank you.

  • Just did a Firmware Update and can't receive or send mail

    I just did a firmware update as recommended by Apple:
    2008-04-13 18:30:24 -0400: Installed "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" (1.0)
    2008-04-13 18:30:32 -0400: Installed "iMac EFI Firmware Update" (1.3)
    I had restarted my iMac and noticed that my Mail 3.2 will no longer connect to my mail servers and send or receive mail.
    My internet connection is fine when using my browser. I closed and restarted "Mail" and this didn't help and even restarted my computer but that didn't help either.
    Anyone else that just did this update have a similar issue? Anyone know of a fix? I don't think I can undo the Firmware update now, so what do I do?
    Thanks

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Delete and re-add the email accounts.

  • Get error message when trying to install Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1

    I have been having issues installing Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1 on both of my Macbook Pro and my Imac. The update downloads but will not install. It comes up with an error code each time. I have not been able to install this on either Macs. HELP!

    both units do list they they require the bluetooth update. I have downloaded it from Software update and from a direct link from Apple. I have experienced since trying to install the update that it will not full install and that it causes problems with bluetooth either being not available or working from time to time. I have not found a way to get it to work properly or going back to the previous version

    What version of iPhoto do you have?  With Yosemite you must be running iPhoto 9.6.1 which is a available from the App Store.  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll have to download and apply the  iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.1. It'll be located in the Applications/Utilities folder after downloading.
    Now for your system:
    Startup Items: ℹ️
        ChmodBPF: Path: /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF
        Startup items are obsolete in OS X Yosemite
    Either remove this or update it so it's compatible with Yosemite.
    Get rid of the antivirus software as rkaufmann87 mentioned.  It's not needed.
    User Launch Agents: ℹ️
        [failed]    com.goacemjobhmmbdlbbfjgifjcojdfnjfm.updater.plist [Click for support][Click for details]
    Don't know what this is for.  There was no info on Google about it so remove it.
    Currently you're not having any memory problems since your Page-outs are essentially non existent. You can check it as you work with Activity Monitor.
    Virtual Memory Information: ℹ️

        616 MB    Wired RAM
        4.25 GB    Page-ins
        24 MB    Page-outs
    As long as the memory pressure is in the green and constant and you're not seeing a lot of SWODs you shouldn't be concerned about the memory.  Of course increasing memory will nearly always improve general system and application performance. But you didn't mention slowness as part of your problem.

  • How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router.  It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update.  I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine.  How can I install the firmware update?
    Thanks, - Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update.  Just point to the .bin file and away you go.  Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.

  • Macbook (late 2006) RSS unable to install SMC firmware update

    Hello,
    I bought my macbook on the 27th of December, and the first week it worked fine. Then started the RSS. I did some googling and found out some stuff about RSS, tried to install the SMC firmware update but it would just tell me that I don't need the update. After two weeks of constant RSS:ing I called applecare and told the guy about the problem, he told me to try to update the SMC and if I can't do it bring it in for service.
    Monday the 15th of January I went to the macstation in downtown Vancouver and told them about the trouble, they tried to boot it, and it actually booted but after like 3 minutes the macbook crashed. For about 10 minutes two guys tried to boot it and so on, but they didn't get it to boot. So they took it in for service and somebody was going to check out the macbook and see if it would need a replacement logic board - which it did. So on Monday they ordered the logic board, and today Monday 22nd of January I got it back. Now the thing that bothers me is that when I now try to update the SMC firmware (my current version is btw 1.13f3) it still just says that This computer does not need this update. oh well - i went to apples support page to try to see if there would be a newer release of the smc and then I noticed that in the bottom of the SMC firmware 1.1 update page it says:
    Note: This update is only or the original MacBook, and will not install on a MacBook (Late 2006).
    Then I really was like W T F?!
    I would assume that people who work for apple would know that the SMC update will not update on a computer from late 2006, but nobody ever mentioned this to me.
    I've now had the computer for about an hour and the CPU temperature is at about 50 degrees celcius, with firefox, msn and a terminal open... about 5% cpu load.
    What I'm really wondering is that is there anyone who has similar problems with a macbook late 2006? I guess I'll just have to see if it works and just like I told the guy at macstation, if it starts RSS:ing again I'll be banging on their door

  • How to install Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 in Lion?

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 27" iMac with a NVidia 7600GT graphics card.  Knowledgebase article HT3986 says that Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 must be installed first. I downloaded the firmware update  but on running it says the Mac OS X 10.6 is required  but I've already upgraded to Lion.
    I was able to install Windows 7 but I have to disable the graphics card for it to boot and use it in VGA mode.
    How can I install the firmware update?

    I used BC 4.0. I don't remember installing the firmware update and thought it likely that I would skip it as I didn't intend to install Windows.
    Here's the system profile information:
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT:
      Chipset Model:          NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
      Type:          GPU
      Bus:          PCIe
      PCIe Lane Width:          x16
      VRAM (Total):          256 MB
      Vendor:          NVIDIA (0x10de)
      Device ID:          0x0391
      Revision ID:          0x00a1
      ROM Revision:          3022
    I can't find info on what to look for on this iMac to know if it's been updated.
