Lenovo update causes startup failures

I just used the Lenovo update and now my W520 throws several failures on boot. It also caused a BSOD. Specifically my W520 is running Windows 7 and I get popups saying "There was a problem starting C:\Program The specified module cannot be found." it also says "You cannot install an older versio of Bluetooth software over a newer versino ... [-349].
Also PC Doctor won't run and the system BSOD whn I attempt to connect an external monitor. All this after I updated using the Lenovo update.
HELP!!!!

8.2.4 Acrobat update cause print failure

Once 8.2.4 update installed on Vista Enterprise PDF printing no longer works. All applications error out. Ran the Adobe fix command and rebooted. Printing still fails.
Is there an easy way to roll back to the previous version?
Are there any plans by Adobe to quickly release another patch?
Any other ideas on how to correct?

we are receiving an Access Denied on our Windows XP machines when printing to the Adobe PDF printer sub system since this update... our Acrobat 8 plug-in for Office2007 is working fine though... Anyone else with similar behavior?
On my Vista system even the Office2007 plug-in fails with similar print driver failures. I have even tried running Microsoft Word 2007 as administrator without success.

OS 5.0.1 Update Causing SIM Failure?

I updated my OS 5.0 to the new 5.0.1 yesterday and ever since I get these messages "SIM Failure". My phone goes to "No Service" and I have to turn the phone off and back on again to get service. Is anyone else having trouble with this and, if so, does anyone know if there is a fix?

Good news. There is a fix. I had the same problem since the 5.0.1 update. Phone techs - including level 2 - knew nothing about it. But at my local Verizon store a manager did have SIM failure information in his database. He undertook a fix which seems to have solved the problem. He explained the error has to do with (non)activation of the SIM card when the phone was first set up. It was not activated at that time. When 5.0.1 searched for an activated SIM card, because it was not activated earlier, the error message appeared. The manager activated the SIM card this morning and the problem has not occurred again today.

Leopard 10.5.2 update causing startup freeze

Has anyone else experienced the update to 10.5.2 appearing at shut down, then processing without a status bar progressing?
Seemed strange so I aborted this by holding down the power button... I think I may have damaged my mac... !
now I cannot start up my mac past the grey apple and spinning clock icon.
Is there a remedy without reinstalling please? (no discs to do so)
(I have already tried PRAM and disk repair)

You need to boot via the Leopard DVD and in the Utilities folder run DU and do a disk check and permissions verify/repair
now I cannot start up my mac past the grey apple and spinning clock icon.
That's what happens after an aborted install.

No disks? You always need the DVD. Without it you are lost.

What did you use for the disk repair?

10.4.6 Update Caused Powerbook & eMac to stop booting up

Very strange problem. I installed 10.4.6 on two different computers at two different times. PowerBook G4 17" and emac G4. Soon thereafter the PowerBook started going into startup ****, that is the gray spinning timer would sit there for several HOURS and no bootup. So, I forced it to restart ---- bad move. The drive became unusable. TechTool reported MANY bad sectors. DiskWarrior managed to salvage the directory but cannot overwrite the existing bad directory so I am salvaging the files to an external hard disk. I tried dragging folders off the "virtual" repaired directory DiskWarrior made but almost every large file gave Errors so I ran Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the virtual repaired PowerBook directory over to the external drive. Carbon Copy Cloner is not a rocket and usually would take a few hours to copy my drive in the past for backups. Now the damage is so bad in 48 HOURS only 12GB has been copied, 60 more to go, so I have started using my PowerMac G4 with a backup of all my mail etc. and other items.
Separately, 2 days later, I installed the update on the eMac. It ran fine for a few hours. I did a normal shutdown. Next morning, it has the same gray spinner sitting on the front screen for 12 hours.... the hardware of the eMac is OK, since I was able to boot it off my previous PowerBook G3 500 in Target Disk mode... DiskWarrior rebuilt the directory on the eMac but still it is not going past the spinning wheel gray apple...
Two machines separate from each other both having startup failures after an update.... makes me wonder... could be bad luck, or coincidence... but just wanted to post here in case someone else has had problems and thought it was just their issue....
Let me know if you have some ideas on what may be the problem. Thanks/
Imran

Hi Imaram, updates rarely cause problems. Rather, the problems are pre-existing and the update exacerbates them.
It sounds like you are completely backed up. I'd suggest zeroing out the disk with the bad sectors and re-installing and see if they return. If they do, you'll need to replace the disk. I'd do a zero out on the other disk also even though it is not reporting bad sectors yet.
Then, you can clone everyting back. I'd suggest trying SuperDuper this time.

Window Update causing system lockup

I have a thousand questions on This computer. But the immediate question. I hope it will not take to long to get an answer on this one.. Two questions, actually. Cause to start figuring this I really need to know these two things:
1. How do I find out what version Bios I have on this computer, so I can know whether it actually needs the BIOS flashed.
2. I have had to "restore" my son's laptop type b570, twice now after installing the mandatory updates being offered by Microsoft Updates. For Window 7, 64 Bit, home version. Is there a freak issue that I need to know about here?!!

Latest Adobe Update causes IE 9 to stop working

Two days ago I was prompted to update my Flash Player. After installing the update my browser, Internet Explorer 9, will shut stop working and I get the message:
"Internet Explorer has Stopped Working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you is a solution is available."
Then I get taken to the error screen where it says: "When a website causes a failure or crash, Internet Explorer attempts to restore the site. It stops after two tries to avoid an endless loop."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player, I have reset IE back to default settings. This has not happened before and it was only after I did the last update.
- Windows 7 64-bit
- Internet Explorer 9
- Flash Player 11.8.800.94

Please try resetting the IE browser.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
if that doesn't help then try a clean install adobe flash player.

How to uninstall lenovo updates

when i installed the latest update from lenovo, my computer got really slow and fingerprint reader is not working anymore.im not sure if im the only one who has the same problem but howcan i uninstall the lenovo update?

To remove an Apple Application Update requires deleting and re-installing the Application from the Tiger install disc or if you purchased iLife 05 which includes Garage Band, deleting and re-installing Garage Band from the iLife 05 install disc and then don't re-install the application update.
The same for a Tiger OS or Security Update. If your Tiger install disc includes 10.4.0 and you updated to 10.4.2 and want to revert back to 10.4.1 requires re-installing Tiger from the install disc via an Archive & Install and then install the 10.4.1 Update only.
If you want to remove Garage Band or another application from the hard drive you don't need or use, check Uninstalling applications and to free up additional hard drive space, check Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

T410s bluetooth driver update causing BSOD

A bluetooth driver update seems to be the cause of bluescreen crashes on my T410s running windows 7 64bit. this has happened with all bluetooth driver updates I attempted to install in the past year. a windows optional update installed a broadcom bluetooth driver which caused crashes. I unstalled the update and the system returned to normal. two lenovo updates had the same problem specifically: thinkpad bluetooth drivers 6.5.1.4500, and 6.2.1.3100.
for anyone having similar problems, I found that using the older 6.2.0.9421 bluetooth driver has resolved the issue.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.
Release notes mention anything that affects you? No? Skip it.

Iphone 4 software update causing internet dropout

Hello,
I recently purchased my first Mac, a Macbook Pro, and I have an iPhone 4. I have yet to update the iPhone, and when I connect the device via iTunes, and the software update download attempts to begin, the download will begin but very rapidly slow and then cease.
I am connecting to the internet via the Macbook Pro using Airport, to a Netgear WSG624v3, and a Comcast provided RCA modem. I have had plenty of issues with the router and modem, soon to be resolved, hopefully, but I am positive the issue is related directly to the software update file attempting to download.
I am totally able to connect to the internet via multiple devices, and access all sorts of content. The software update download startup will cause my network to drop connection to the internet for a few minutes, then it will automatically reconnect. Attempting the download again results in the identical scenario replaying.
I have also noticed that attempting to download certain podcasts via my iPhone 4 over the wireless network can cause a general connection loss.
Is this a firewall issue? I am only using the Apple-supplied firewall and whatever might be on my Netgear router...should I kill the Netgear security entirely and give the download a shot? I don't want to risk compounding headaches with a security issue.
Thanks in advance for your help - I am very new to all things Apple, so please be very explicit and detailed with any and all information and step-by-steps you might be able to provide.

Windows Update Causes G500/Win8.1 to basically lock up

I have a G500 with a Win 8.1 OS and windows update causes for lack of better words a lock up.
What happens is I'll restart the system and Windows Update will kick in with a couple product updates and that will take about ten min or so and then a message pops up Windows update failed reverting system settings do not turn off your PC and a little spinning wheel off to the side that just spins and spins. First time it happened I let it spin for about six hours and then did a system reinstall and everything was fine for about a day or so and Windows Update started up again with the exact same result and I ended up reinstalling the OS again.
I have Windows Update turned completely off right now.
Any idea what is going on and how to correct the problem?

hi scjax2014,
Your issue might be similar to this thread.
The "Failure configuring updates" error message can be caused by a security software that's blocking the update (eg. Norton 360, Mcafee Internet Security, etc.) or a BIOS setting like Secure Boot.
To isolate, can you try the following:
1. Apply one of the resolution in this microsoft article.
2. If same problem, try to Install the Windows Updates manually by navigating to Control Panel (large icon view) > Windows Update.and select "Check for updates" (Windows will now gather updates applicable for your machine). When finished, click on the important updates install the updates in this order (oldest ones first):
- Critical Updates (if any)
- Security Updates
- Updates for Windows 8
If you still get an error, try to install the updates one by one or three at a time and observe.
Microsoft thread:
Error Code 800f0922 for KB2871690
Let me know how it goes.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

Hi Jeremy
Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?
