Keyboard and screen scrolling freezing up after software update approx. 30 days ago.

2 year old 16GB IPad (Model MD522LL/A) Recently (last 30 days) installed recommended software update (sorry do not recall number of update). Now having problem with keyboard freezing when messaging as well as screen freezing when scrolling. Can sometimes be temporarily resolved by rebooting (turning off, waiting 3 to 5 minutes and restarting).
Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks for that, I did go looking for it but couldn't find it.
Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM didn't work. Will a reinstallation of OS X make a difference, bearing in mind I've already restored from a Time Machine backup? (I don't know if those clone everything or don't include system files).

  • Server stuck on gray screen with spinning circle after software update 10.5

    I'm not sure what I need to do to resolve. I'm knew to administering Apple servers and am doing the 'on the job training' thing. Step by step instructions would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Please help! Michele

    Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work for me. I had our resident mac expert come in and assist me, it appears that mach_kernel didn't get an upgrade, also appears that it was crashing on directory services. He tried several things to resolve but was unsuccessful. His recommendation was to reinstall to OS. He did say it was nothing I did, it is a very basic server with no third party software installed. He believes it was something with the 10.5.4 software update, and recommended staying away from the software updates, if they aren't critical or security related. So... I'm currently reinstalling the OS, fortunately; I did have it backedup.

  • Mac suddenly running slow and freezing frequently after software update

    Hi, first post. I have recently wiped my hard drive after my new macbook pro started crashing frequently and suddenly running slow, however, it all seemed fine for a few days until I ran the software update, and after failing because it was unable to "expand", everything started running slowly and freezing left right and center.
    This is really grinding my gears, and I have been looking for solutions online for ages now, can anyone here help?

  • Safari and Mail will not open after software update

    After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

    Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
    Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

  • Mail and iChat don't launch after Software Update

    Since updating the DST updates and Quicktime and Security 2007-002 updates, Mail and iChat do not launch. The icon bounces once in the dock; that's it.
    I have repaired permission and checked the disc using Disc Utility from the OS X Install disc.
    I also notice that Software Update 2007-002 remains in my list of updates to download and install. But I did it. And when I try to do it again, the install process stops immeately after it starts and the install app quits.

    OK Jeremy, this may help or may not, but it will do no harm.
    Power down both DSL and Airport, and your Mac (or at least log out).
    Wait about one minute, power up DSL, let it pass some configuration routine (may take another minute or so), power up Airport, wait another minute and fire up the old Mac.
    Open chat and mail, put it to sleep and wake it up again.
    Did this improve things?

  • TS1424 I've downloaded a TV show on itunes and it is freezing up after 10 minutes. I see an error code 3256 - anyone have any ideas about how to get it unstuck?

    I've downloaded a TV show on itunes and it is freezing up after 10 minutes and won't play beyond that point. It says error=3256. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Power up stops at blue screen after software update

    I have a rather old Power Book G4, but was working fine until I tried a software update. It had 5 updates. It required a restart so I restarted it, and the update began. At 22% complete it stopped and said to restart. It wouldn't complete the upgrade. So I restarted it. It now stops at the blue screen. It gets past the gray screen with the Apple logo, but stops. Any ideas before I take it in? Thanks.

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, 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 to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    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.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    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.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 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 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. 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 and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    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 compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    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 an OS update 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.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Macbook keyboard and trackpad randomly freezes

    Hi!
    I have an early 2008 macbook, model MB403LL/A, running 10.6.7.
    From time to time, the keyboard and the trackpad will simply stop working, but if I plug in a usb keyboard and mouse, I can still move the cursor and type on the computer. The internal keyboard and trackpad only come back after a restart.
    Help please!

    'ello lads ;o)
    You may want to try this solution and see if it works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    Until recently my 'BlackBook' would have intermittent cursor and keyboard freezes, although I only use the internal keyboard and trackpad. After updating to Snow Leopard yesterday, these freezes were worse, as the macbook never 'came out' of the freezes again and I had to do a hard reset by holding down the powe rbutton and restart.. Not nice if you've just wrote a long email and have no option of saving :o( For the last few months the freezes got worse and I also noticed that the 'screen-dimming' feature would cause the screen brightness to flicker. So when I saw the above document from Apple, I realised that it probably is a power management issue (SMC) and resetting this as per the instructions above appears to have solved these issues completely ;o)
    Hope it'll help yer too ;o)
    All the best o' luck!

  • Can I use a 15" MBP as keyboard and screen to work on bootable drive MBP 17

    Hi, all,
    I already asked this question in a post with other questions more prominant so I am trying this as a solo question. I have a MBP 17" intel Core Duo that will be going in for repairs. I have an OWC 1 TB drive formated to be bootable. Can I boot from the external HD from a 15" MBP Core Duo and use it essentially as a keyboard and screen and work on the 17" files with all the software or can I only transfer files to the 15"? The 17" has Leopard and Adobe CS3 (which I cannot do without) the 15" runs Tiger and I run CS2 on it.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Foam sheet between keyboard and screen, Replacement?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anybody knows if this has a part number ? and where can
    I get one ?
    I'm wanting to know if I can get a factory replacement of the thin foam sheet
    that is part of the packing materials that goes between the keyboard and screen.
    You know, when your Powerbook was new, when you opened the lid
    for the first time, there was that thin foam sheet over the keyboard, speakers,
    trackpad the whole surface area. I guess it's more like the foam is the size of
    the whole screen area, to protect the screen.
    This may seem silly to want to replace this, but I have a PowerBook that's coming
    up on 3 years old and every time I have closed the lid (screen) I have put the thin
    foam in to protect the screen. So, the screen is perfect after 3 years.
    Much different than my co-workers PowerBooks. They didn't see any
    need for this foam and didn't use it and their screens are etched / scratched from
    the keys, mirror images of the keys scratched into their screens.

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure if Apple assigns part numbers for their packing materials, but you could either visit your local Apple store to see if they happen to have any of these lying around, or you could purchase a screen protector to do the job.
    I used the foam sheet for a few years, but lost it recently, so I went out and bought an iKlear Cleaning kit which included a polish cloth which is the size of the keyboard and trackpad area, and I find it does a fine job of protecting the screen.
    Go to klearscreen.com and have a look.
