Latest update messes up colours in certain windowed applications.

Hello there, a couple of days ago (April 16th) I installed the latest updates available for my system. This included:
Safari 5.0.5
Security Update 2011-002 1.0
Canon Printer Software Update 2.5
The installation went as planned, but shortly thereafter I started noticing colours that weren't there usual vibrant selves. They were washed out, and tinged with brown. The first thing i check was my colour profile, it was as it should be. Upon further inspection I realized it was only affecting the colours in certain windowed apps. For example, in Adobe Bridge CS5, thumbnails of my work appeared washed out and brown, but if i view the full screen preview, the colours are as beautiful as they should be. Another example, websites appear washed out and brown in the browser (I've only tested in Chrome so far), but when I take a screen shot, then press the space bar to view the screenshot, the colours in the screen shot are vibrant as i expect them to be. However if I open the screenshot in preview, the colours are incorrect.
I also installed the same updates on my MacBook Pro, and haven't noticed any problems.
So what's going on here then?
Cheers.

Since changing my screen arrangement so my dock is on the main screen again, I've noticed that the icons in the app folder are all horribly oversaturated.
Please help me Apple, I like my colours to be correct. Microsoft always managed to get it right for a much lower price, so I'm sure you can manage too

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

Latest update messed People app up

Since the latest software update the application People (contact list) keeps stopping unexpectedly and I have to force close it. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

Ok so i can't install the combo . It says my disk does not meet requirements ? At the moment im on 10.6.8.
Also every time i restart or shut down my desktop icons re-arrange themselves all to the one side of my desktop again?
Sounds like a corrupted preference file, permissions issue.
Any other strangeness?
Did you make a backup of your files to a external drive?
Did you System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP > configure IPv6: OFF ??
Did you disconnect other hardware and drives?
Ok, then lets c boot off the installer disk for 10.6 and second screen in is a Utilities Menu, select Disk Utility.
Next select your boot drive on the left and click Repair Disk (if anything shows up here that's NOT repaired, please let me know)
Next click Repair Permisisons (ignore what you see)
now quit and reboot, to see if your problems continue, can you install the Combo Update now?
Thanks.
BTW It's raining cats and dogs, if I'm gone, it's a blackout. Fair warning, I'll be back later though.

Your latest update messed up my whole internet sites - please fix it and don't send me another update notice on this. I had to restore my computer to a date before I downloaded your update.

you sent me an update on Wed. When I went on my computer on thurs, I could not access Pogo or other sites on my internet.

It happened to me too i cant even stay connected to Ebay Firefox developers what are you doing to fix the mess you created on my PC????
Should i restore is that my last resort?

Xmonad: certain windows/applications get displayed on all workspaces

After recent upgrades (relevant pacman.log: http://pastie.org/8633439), some of my programs get wrongly displayed on all workspaces. Mainly, it's mplayer/mpv, the native Steam client and the native linux game "Heroes of Newerth" (HoN).
I start HoN on Workspace 7 in Xmonad and it should stay there. However, after I have started the game and switch to a different workspace, I still see the HoN screen in its entirety. However, I can issue commands to the program that is on the workspace I switched to. For example, I switched to workspace 1 where I have my browser and pressed CTRL+T a few times. After I had closed HoN, I could see that indeed the browser had a few more open tabs. So the focus switches correctly, yet I still see nothing but HoN. The same happens with mplayer or mpv. When I open any video in it and pause it, everything is as it should be when I switch to a different workspace. However, if I switch workspaces while the video is running, it will also be displayed on all other workspaces above all other programs. So I guess it has something to do with programs/windows that update themselves to show something new. Cause it's the same with every Steam window - whenever the Steam store window updates a screenshot or something, Steam will be on all workspaces.
I have tried to replicate this with Openbox to make sure it's got something to do with Xmonad, and yes, this does not occur in Openbox. A buddy of mine has the same problem with the same programs (plus a wine game), he is running xmonad on archlinux as well.
Here is my xmonad.hs: http://pastie.org/8633442

To be more precise: I downgraded xorg-server-common (1.15.0-5 -> 1.14.4-1), xf86-input-evdev (2.8.2-2 -> 2.8.2-1), xorg-server (1.15.0-5 -> 1.14.4-1), libgcrypt (1.6.0-1 -> 1.5.3-1). Then i could switch workspaces as intended. But i got lots of errors with other applications. Like mplayer didn't work because the newer libgcrypt couldn't be found etc. And ofc i don't want to use some old crypto libs anyway.
But that has shown me, that somehow the upgrade to xorg-1.15 had broken things. But i can't really say if that is xorgs ord xmonads error, because it works well with openbox.
I'll take a look at xcompmgr. Thanks for the hint.
Edit: It works like a charm. Thank you very much.

Latest Update 10.5.3.3 Deletes All my Content When I Shut Down ITunes

Is anyone else having problems with the latest update 10.5.3.3 for Windows?
After I completed the required re-start of my computer and opened ITunes, it showed up as if I had just downloaded ITunes for the first time. All my music, playlists, apps, and books were gone.
The first time I re-downloaded all my content from my ICloud account which took about an hour. I shut down my computer for the day, and when I opened ITunes the next day all of my content was GONE AGAIN! And there are ITunes database files in my Recycle Bin, and I did not put anything there.
This second time I used "Find MP3 & ACC files in my Home Folder instead of downloading everything again (I didn't realize I could do this, I am not software/hardware inner-workings savvy) which only took about 5 minutes and the only problem wasn't really a problem... for some reason certain songs I'd purchased from the ITunes store came over in multiples, there were doubles of some songs and triples of others.
And AGAIN when I shut down my computer, and opened ITunes this morning and everything is gone again. I attempted to use ITunes support but for some dumb reason they want a serial number for one of my products (which is not an issue here, ITunes is the problem, and considering it's a free download I dont think it has a serial number) and wants me to pay a fee to talk to Apple Support.
Can someone with some tech smarts please tell me why this is happening? Or I would at least like to know that I am not the only one, and that Apple might be working to fix this glitch!

Consider your iMac is almost dead. My first iMac was a G5 and it did not took to long till the fans got louder and louder. It was still in warranty and I took it to Apple Service. They replaced the mainboard.
Hope this info is of help!

HT1947 i downloaded the latest update for the applw TV remote and now the scrolling up down forward and back will not work...menu tapping and select tappng works but that it! Help!!

I have an update to my message posted yesterday regarding Firefox crash after vista update. Today it got worse when Firefox wouldn't open at all and Windows explorer also stopped working. Curiously, email was still working, and when I checked another (little used) account on the same PC, I got a perfect connection with Firefox and Explorer. I had to conclude that the latest updates of Vista have interacted with some application only found in my main account on the PC. I tried opening Firefox in its safe mode and I tried opening explorer without Plug ins, but neither worked. Finally I decided the only answer was to do a system restore and wind back the windows software to where it was before the problem. I now have Firefox and explorer restored to working order, but I still don't understand why, because I got a message saying the system restore hasn't worked. Full Comprehension of the cause is beyond my capability, but through trial and error as described above I seem to have fixed it. The suspect vista updates are KB2505189 , and KB2524375.

After latest update, ID3 v2.4 doesn't work

After the latest update (10.4.0.80) on Windows 7 (64 bit) I am having trouble with ID3 Tags v2.4.
Any tracks that previously used v2.4 no longer read any of the information stored in v2.4
Also, adding tracks to v2.4 also causes the data to be lost.
Any solutions? Any others with this problem?

Solved. My 5 year old fliped the silent switch next to the sound buttons.

The latest update for Itunes is messed up.

Hi all. I am on Windows 7. I have never had a problem with the Itunes updates until now. I did the latest update and now Itunes wont open. I get an error message saying that Itunes was installed incorrectly and MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my computer. Is the a problem with my computer?
Should I try reinstalling itunes? Will I lose all 40gb of music? Just not sure what to do.
Thanks everyone.

EXACT same error msg happened to me. I have un-installed i Tunes and Re Installed i Tunes and also Quick Time as well as re booted computer NUMEROUS times. Only to have the SAME situation as I began with! Help!! It all began when I updated to the latest i Tunes, just like so many others!

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

SINCE YOUR LATEST UPDATE, I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO OPEN ONE FIREFOX WINDOW AT A TIME, I ALSO LOST MY YAHOO SEARCH BAR TOOL.

I have had Firefox for a few years and have been very satisfied with all of it's features and qualities. I work a great deal from home and have always enjoyed the convenience of being able to work off of 3 or 4 Firefox screens at one time. By pulling up one screen over the other and then go back and forth (as I still am able to do with Internet Explorer), saves a lot of time and NEEDLESS effort.
Since your latest update the other day, I am now only able to get that 1 screen and no matter how many times I click on the Firefox Icon on my icon screen, no other Firefox screens will come up. I am stuck with that 1 screen...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I have also lost my Yahoo search tool bar due to your upgrade, as well as several others which I cannot seem to retrieve.
Thank you so Very much in advance for addressing and correcting this error.

Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

Restarted router(s) and it works again.

HT1923 I have tried to remove and reinstall Itunes after they sent out the latest update. Fails to install. There is no way to go back to a previous version that works on windows 8.1

Apple's latest update to iTunes failed to install on my computer with Windows 8.1 64 bit. I have reinstalled in many times, removed Itunes via Control Pannel, etc. etc. No luck. Tried to go back to an older version, but all of the installs try to install the latest version. I suspect there is a problem with this update and vesion.
