Mac OSX 10.5.5 update bug

Has the bug in the 10.5.5 update been fixed yet? Is it safe to download and install?
I use Log and Transfer for my P2 data and I know that in previous posts some people have had problems with this not working after updating to 10.5.5
Thanks.
Weenie

There have been a lot of posts on this and I think that James R came across the cause (of at least my problem) in a different post
In my case - I had had the problem in 10.5.5 with Perian installed. I was in the process of reinstalling and I removed Perian and it seems to work fine. I'm not sure that it's the cause but it might be worth looking at.

Stuck with Apple Mac OSX 1.7.2 update!

My MacBook Pro Early 2011 is stuck on the Mac OSX 1.7.2 update.
I ordered Lion OSX from App Store about 2/3 months ago.
It says:
Software Update
Installing 3 items
Progress Bar
This may take a few minutes; do not shut down your computer.
And it has been going about 45min. on the same screen.
And i don't have a Time Machine recovery and don't want to lose my data.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I have solved my problem!
I just shut it down with the power button.
Waited 10 minutes (i kept trying before but did not start up).
I started it then it restarted about 4 times then it started up with all my data.

Hi on MAC OSX 10.7.4 update on Aperture 3.3.1 has been done, still gget the error message "By opening the databank for the Mediathek „~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary" is an error" is anybody out there to help me?

Hi on MAC OSX 10.7.4 update on Aperture 3.3.1 has been done, still gget the error message "By opening the databank for the Mediathek „~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary“ is an error" is anybody out there to help me?

Alex,
did you just upgrade from an Aperture 3.2.x version to Aperture 3.3.1? This error message usually occures after the upgrade to 3.3.1, when Aperture cannont convert the library format to 3.3. format.
I'd try to repair the Aperture Library (Mediathek), before upgrading it. Hold down the option-command key combination (⌥⌘) while double-clicking Aperture. This will bring the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" panel forward. Select "Rebuild Database" and see, if it will resolve the the problem.
Good luck

Issue with the recent MAC OSX 10.7.5 update

The recent MAC OSX 10.7.5 update rendered my WD external backup disk unusable. The iMAC only recognizes it as read-only now despite having 2 TB of available space. It doesn't even show on my desktop anymore. I have tried disk repair but it couldn't be repaired. Any suggestions?

Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
sudo chown -R <your username w/o brackets>:admin /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD. This assumes there's no OS or Time Machine backup on the HD. If there is, don't run the third command.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

How can i play my avi formatted movies with the new mac OSX 10.9.2 update?

Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

Mac OSX 10.5.6 update fails every time

Hi,
I recently did a defrag on my macbook pro and reinstalled it from the leopard disk. And so it was reset to mac OSX 10.5, now every time I try the combined update to 10.5.6 it fails, I tried twice with the updated deleting in after the first try. I then downloaded it from the downloads but to no avail.

Hello and welcome to the discussions. Just recently the 10.5.6 combo update was revised to allow the update from 10.5.0. Before it was required 10.5.1 to update using the 10.5.6 combo. Try updating to 10.5.1 then run the 10.5.6 combo.
You can download 10.5.1 here:

Hope it works for you,

Mac OSX very Slow after update iLife

Dear all;
I just faced problem with my Mac OSX 10.8.4 after upgrade the iLife, the OS freeze then logout from the system
any ideas how to solve this problem?
Regards;

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, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

Firefox 3.6.15 is not downloading on MAC OSX, not via software update nor via manual download. It claims i do not have full admin rights which is not true.

If I do a manual download via FF website, it starts to install, asking if I want to replace an older version of FF. If I then continue, it says that it cannot process as I do not have access to 'certain components'????
I have full admin rights, it is f... my computer. I am running a Macbook Pro on OSX 10.6.6.
FF is giving me more problems lately, a.o. not showing certain flash elements (have latets flashplayer). Anyone else getting annoyed with FF?

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

Dreamweaver CS6 crashes after Mac OSX 10.9.3 update.

Updated today to Dreamweaver CC, and the issue persists. My 'local' files are stored on a Windows Vista server on the LAN.
Everything worked OK until 2 days ago, so I'm almost sure the issue is related to the OS update.
I can open a file, work on it for a while, and after a few minutes, Dreamweaver 'hangs' and can take up to 10 minutes to be responsive again.

You will probably get better help in Dreamweaver support forum

Ok, so I followed through with the OSX update (I have mountain lion) and let it do it's thing - came back to it hours later......STILL in the apple screen with rotating gear wheel thing....so I shut it down, power off.

Apple Mail not fully working after Mac OSX 10.5.7 update

Since I have updated to Mac SOX 10.5.7 I don't get all of my email. I have 5 separate email accounts with my internet service provider (Cox) that are all with the same email service but when I go to check my email I only receive email messages from 4 of the 5 email accounts. I have sent test emails to each account but I don't receive the test email on one of the accounts and that is the one I use the most. This started to happen after I downloaded the update. Very strange..... Anyone out there having this same problem?????? These are POP email accounts.

Now this is weird. When I went into Apple Mail preferences and unchecked the SSL box in ADVANCED then all of my emails came through fine and even my test messages to that email account. Perhaps that is the issue. Do I need to use SSL and what is it????

Mac OSX 10.9.2 Update Safari Freezing

After having upgraded to the latest OSX Maverick today my Safari is freezing immediately in response to trying to use the two finger swipe to go back a page/site. Is anyone else having similar experiences? If so, do you think it is the upgrade or something else unrelated?

Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.
