Latest OS X update didn't fix wifi problem. Worse now.

I was desperately hoping this update would solve this CONSTANT "Looking for Networks" B.S. that has plagued my iMac from day one!! It seems to have made it even worse. WHY have they not addressed this issue yet? Every computer in the house, iphones, androids, ipads - all of them - find our network and stay connected without trouble, but this damned iMac is practically useless for online work.
HELP!!!

It probably has absolutely nothing to do with OS X. Something about your iMac's location in the home or the location of the wrieless router is causing interference. Or you could have a defective WiFi module in your iMac that is causing the trouble. Things do break you know.
As an experiment try moving your iMac right next to the wireless router. If that solves the problem it's probably interference. If it doesn't solve the problem chances are you have a broken iMac. Maybe the internal antenna has a loose connection or the WiFi board is defective. If still under warranty Apple will fix it. If not Apple will still fix it but there will be a charge.

Hi,
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?

We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing. Never install anything if you do not know what it is. Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick. Although I am not positive.
Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.
GOOD LUCK!

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

If your preferences keep getting messed up try this:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

With the iphone 4s sometimes the spotlight search does not work and you must restart the device. There will be an update that will fix the problem?

Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple.

ProApp Update didn't fix DVDSP still menu issue

The update that came out this week didn't fix the field problem on still menus. Can we make a noise about this so maybe they will fix this soon.
I consider this a major bug, as 90% of the menus I make are still...I understand this is a problem for slideshows, too.
Sincerely,
Slade

This is the field issue on still menus (still images in general, as this includes slideshows). It is the intel/universal version. It distorts still menus, like it is only showing single fields instead of the properly interlaced frame. But the single field option isn't checked. I've filled out a bug report as have others and Apple is aware. I'm just venting because there was a pro app update this week and I burned an important DVD today and I have the same problems.

Fixed WiFi problem on update to 7.1.2

I reset network settings. Then turned airport mode on. Then clicked on WiFi settings. It found the wireless router; entered the password, and now it works. Let's hope it works at work, on public wifi connection.

I have the 7.1.2 update wifi problem too but unfortunately this did not fix it in my case

TS1702 Vtok application problems since I update my iPad 2 system to ios6, my vtok cannot open. What I need to do in order to fix this problem? I already removed and re installed the application many times, but this didn't fix the problem.

It is any problem with the application vtok? Since I update my iPad2 system to iOS6.0 I was unable to use this application. The problem is when I tap on the vtok icon, the application opens and closes right away. I removed and reinstall the application twice, but this doesn't fix the problem. When I try to find the application on application store, it's give me a message that the vtok application is not available in USA.

Not available in Spain either. I can't find anything googling for this problem, Vtok's page and facebook page seem to be unmaintained.
It is strange such a widely used app doesn't show life signals.
Good luck

When I try to go to YouTube, Firefox always crashes. I even uninstalled it and re-installed it, but that didn't fix the problem.

Whenever I try to open YouTube, Firefox crashes on me. I uninstalled it and the re-installed it, thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't.
== Crash ID(s) ==

The latest beta update for Firefox, version 3.6.4, prevents plugins from crashing Firefox. Instead, when a plugin crashes, only the plugin itself will be affected.

HT204017 Yosemite update does not solve wifi problems

yosemite update does not solve wifi. Apple are as garbage as Microsoft now, but they have the cheek to charge twice as much!,
Apple, you have lost my future business...might as well buy a cheap windows laptop now.

Hello Chutley,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Depending on what is happing with your Wi-FI connection, the update may or may not resolve your issues. Since updating didn't resolve your issues, you might want to take a look at the following article for additional steps to try:

Bridge update does not fix caching problems.

Dear Adobe,
The 5.0.1.23 update for Bridge CS6 does NOT fix the problem of constantly re-caching layered TIF files.
I originaly reported the problem here on May 16, 2012.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007560
At that time I also submitted a bug report via photoshop.com, and received an e-mail response from Adobe support confirming the problem had been replicated in their lab and promising a fix in the next update.
I've since tracked several other reports of this bug and related cache problems.
I assume that, at best, we will have to wait another 6 months or more for the next update. How can I assure this bug will be addressed?

Thank you for this bit of information. Maybe it means I can stop the deactivations/uninstall/reinstall/reactivate cycle to try yet another solution. And hopefully, this will stop the re-caching problem with other than tif files.
