MBP FREEZES AFTER 10.4.6 UPDATE WITH WINDOWS PARTITION

Just updated software to 10.4.6, and rebooted the computer unattended. It booted on the Windows partition, and worked fine.
Just rebooted in Mac mode, and everything froze.
Had to reinstall the OS, from the original DVD. Did anyone experience the same problem.
I am reluctant now to install the 10.4.6 update.
Thanks for your comments

There always some people on the forum to believe they
are smarter and that others are dummies, and do not
read instructions! That is bad.
I Should have been more specific: the software update
was the Mac OS Intel posted on the Apple website on
May12.
The MBP was up to date before this update, and
everyting was working fine.
Hi Thierry,
I didn't really post to say I was smarter, or you were a dummy. When I read your post, and saw your signature that says you are running 10.4.5, I thought first of all, "how did you do that?" So I posted that that could be a huge problem.
Please don't think I wasn't anything more less than concerned. Noted you have been having issues (as others have) since the security update. There are numerous suggestions in other threads, but I don't know the solution to your situation. For me the update kiled my ability to change font color in Entourage! Hopefuly Apple will post a fix in the form of an update.

Sound card cutting out and clicking after 1.6 firm update in windows

I don't know whats going on... but after I ran the firmware update 1.6 on my MBP, my sound card went crazy on the windows partition. The card will put out sound for awhile and then it will turn off and make very annoying clicking noises. I boot to the Mac side and everything is fine. It really ***** because I am a DJ and the number one part of this computer I use intensely is the sound card.... Help! I am going to call apple tomorrow but I think they will not help kindly in windows even with an apple care...

I had experienced this issue on my late 2007 MacBook Pro.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8136560&#8136560
Until this post, I had not heard of it on the new MacBook Pros.
I would guess that this issue has been caused by a driver conflict. As someone else had suggested, the Boot Camp drivers for the new MacBook Pros are in desperate need of an update.
Call Apple Support, and ask them to begin an investigation into this problem. Direct them to this thread. They will give you an investigation number that you can monitor.
Many of us have been asking Apple for updated drivers for Boot Camp. The more we call. The quicker Apple will resolve.
Other driver related issues for Boot Camp include the following link that I have noted.

Good luck, and let us know.

Unibody MBP freezing after new hard drive

Hey all, I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2009 Unibody that I replaced the stock 320 GB Hard Drive with a 750GB 7200 RPM Western Digital drive a few months back. Ever since I swapped the drive, my computer has been experiencing random freeze ups in SL (10.6.8) and Windows 7 Pro. I'll just be using the computer, surfing the net in Chrome and listening to iTunes, and my music will stop playing and I can still move the mouse, but Chrome becomes unresponsive, and if I go down to the dock, the dock will freeze in place, but the mouse is still movable. After a few seconds, it goes back to normal. When I installed the new drive I just used Carbon Copy Cloner and WinClone to transfer everything over. I have verifyed and repaired permissions over and over again, and a "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility says the volume appears to be OK. The only thing I have not tried is starting with the SL disk and trying a "repair disk". Does this sound like It may be an issue with the Hard Drive physically, or with the clone of SL? Has anyone had a similar issue? I can try booting it up tomorrow night with the AHT disk and testing everything and then try a repair disk and see if that helps. It's completely updated with the latest firmware updates.

Do a search and you'll find a lot of people have had the same/similar issues. Some have promoted firmware updates from the manufacturer, some have used HDAPM http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/, some have claimed that formatting the HD in an external enclosure has resolved the issue, some have tried jumpers, some believe it is linked to the SMS, some believe that only HDs purchased from Apple have the proper firmware installed, there's probably an alien theory out there too.

Windows 8 Freezes after last "Lenovo Settings Update" anytime the pointer goes to a corner

After the most recent "Lenovo Settings Update", my Windows 8 freezes for a few minutes (minimum of two) anytime the pointer hits one of the hot corners. The system also freezes for a couple of minutes or less when certain apps are started or the mouse clicks on certain apps. This is a repeatable error. I can restore the system to the setpoint previous to the "Lenovo Settings Update" and everything works fine. re-Install the update and the problem comes back. The system also freezes for 5-10 seconds when an e-mail message comes in and the notification appears. Also happens under other different circumstances but the worst is when the mouse pointer goes to any "Hot Corner". I can reset the system to the last restore point and have everything work fine but anytime I go to "Lenovo Settings", it forces the update which then creates this problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have all the updates for Windows 8 and Lenovo installed including all new Bios updates that are published. The model is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S320u (otherwise known as the "Twist". The error is repeatable in all screen modes, tablet modes and multiple monitor modes.
For now I will go back to the latest restore point but would like to see the issue resolved.
Thanks.
Bob

I had the exact same issue with the same computer (Thinkpad Twist)! Am very happy to have come accross this page through a web search.
After installing some updates through Lenovo Update App (because of a message that critical updates are available on the Lenovo Support App from Startscreen), my whole system would freeze for about two minutes when moving the cursor over any corner. This is very troublesome not only because it effectively disables the Windows 8 "hot corners" (which I didn't use much anyway, preferring to launch the tasks thus accessible differently), but mostly because it is necessary at times to access the corners, notably to close any document, webpage or other instance of any program that was open in full screen (which usually all of my docs/programs are, considering the Twist's small screensize...).
Afer reading rbagnall's post I first tried uninstalling updates through the Lenovo Update center. But there, once installed, updates don't seem to be removable. Why Lenovo? You can look at the list of installed updates but not make any change. Now I have followed rbagnall's advice and restored my computer with a restore point, sufficiently far back, as I didn't know exactly which update caused this. It worked! Not exactly pleasant, because I had to reinstall some programs and change some settings again, but the problem got resolved.
I went further and tried to see which update causes this by installing them one by one and seeing when the problem appears. The culprit seems to be "Display Mode Orientation Update for Windows 8". One needs to install the "Lenovo Power Management Driver" with it (which is actually listed under optional updates, whereas the Display Mode update is shown as a critical one, but the former is selected automatically when the later is chosen, and one cannot unselect it, a message appears then that it is necessary for the other update). So it could be that one as well (haven't checked whether installing it without the Display Mode update creates the same problem). In any case, once these are installed, the problem appears.
I have now restored my PC again to the restore point, and haven't installed any Lenovo update, not even the other critical one, as I don't know what it's for (Critical patch to fix TVSU UTS issue - I haven't had this issue, and any web entries on this I found dated back to 2009). In the optional updates there is also a BIOS update, which I had installed previously, but I don't know what it's for either. If there is anything terribly useful in either (or other optional updates), please tell me.
For now I have uninstalled the Lenovo Support Startscreen App (which seems to be more annoying than helpful), and will refrain from updating any Lenovo drivers from now, which seems to do more harm than good (everything was working fine before the update)...

Progress Bar freeze after 4.2.1 Update - any news?

Hey Guys,
any news on the progress par freeze after the installation of 4.2.1 on the iPad?
After a horrible 8 hours(!) Backup phase, my iPad 3G 32 Gigabyte freezes after the progress bar reaches 80%. I tried to do a hard reset but it would just stuck at the same stage again after rebooting. My iPhone 4 synced just fine (5min. Backup-Phase to the max) and runs 4.2.1 without any hiccups. But the iPad, being once the love of my life, drives me MAD!!!!!
What did you do? Try to sync it again or just wait some days until the progress bar advances? I`m fed up with OS Updates for now... HEEEELLLLPPP!

Well, that didn't work. But in the process I cleaned up the folders that house my iTunes movies and music get rid of dupes, stuff I didn't want, and so on. However, I did find that I forgot to uninstall WiFi Sync before trying the upgrade. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, rebooted, and did the upgrade. Now my iPad is back. I hadn't realized that I had to uninstall WiFi Sync to upgrade the iPad.....

MBP shutdown after 10.6.2 update is slower than before!

Hello all,
Since after 10.6.2 update, my MBP shutdown time extended from less than 5 secs to over 25 secs. I've gone through some solutions including resetting disk permissions using disk utility, setting the PRAM, using font explorer to clear fonts as suggested by a user that got his problem solved. No luck at the moment. Prior to 10.6.2 update my MBP used to shutdown in less than 5 secs. Although i bought a new usb modem called ZTE usb Modem (Model: K3565-Z) from my cellphone carrier Vodacom in South Africa. I mention this because on my Mac Mini, whenever i want to shutdown, i have to force quite this application before the Mac Mini (which is also running 10.6.2 update) shuts down fine under 5 secs. So am guessing the usb modem is the cause of the problem somehow but I can't find out how. If not then it must be with the 10.6.2 update.
Any help will be appreciated.

1.) Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.
2.) Did you update via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

MacBookPro Freezes after Installing Latest Security Update 2006-003

After downloading and installing the latest security update 2006-003, MacBook Pro freezes when trying to do anything. Seems to do ok in safe mode but did freeze when trying to verify disk with Disk Utility. (did not try to repair as I am out of town at a motel without Tiger disks). Any suggestions before calling apple?
MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Since my post, I think I have solved the problem. At least MyMacBook is working ok so far. What I did is started up in safe mode (for the third time) then I went through the "Library" and looked for stuff that looked like it wouldn't work on a MacBook. This included some Norton Utility things. Also went through preferences and Application Support and did the same thing. By the way I had transferred all this stuff from my old Mac using the transfer app and connecting the two with firewire.
Anyway, it's been working for about an hour. I'll keep this post open for a couple of days to see if it keeps working.

IChat freezes after 10.5.5. update

Since upgrading to 10.5.5, I have experienced freezes while video chatting in iChat. These freezes happen, on average, every 10-20 minutes. I never had this problem with 10.5.4. Anyone else noticing this? Any ideas of what may be causing this, or it just a bug that I should hope will be fixed in 10.5.6?

Just wanted to add that I am experiencing this too. Everything was fine until the combined update to 10.5.5 and QT 7.5.5. Now my video freezes after about 30 seconds into a chat. The sound keeps going for a while. I need to force exit iChat to quit. The are a lot of suggestions on these and other forums about how to fix this: limiting streaming bandwidth, re-installing QT, deleting plist files, etc. Nothing seems to work. Here's what I know so far:
1. Everything was fine until 10.5.5/QT7.5.5 update
2. Not all connections fail. One buddy never fails, one other always does.
3. Test user [email protected] freezes for me 9 out of 10 times.
4. The 10th time it's fine.
5. Shutting off WeatherDock does not fix it.
6. QT streaming rate throttling in preferences does not fix it.
7. Bandwidth limiting in iChat prefs don't fix it.
8. Re-installing QT does not fix it.
9. Re-installing QT in safe mode after fixing disk permissions doesn't fix it.
10. No combination of the above fixes it.
This is a problem the NEEDS TO BE FIXED, Apple are you listening?
I bought a mac because they said "it just works", I guess not.
I suggest we all send more complaints to Apple. I let the app debugger send its logs to apple a few times per day.

Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage and FaceTime

After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

Itunes freezes after 1.0.2 update

I had NO problems until the iPhone 1.0.2 update.
Now when I connect the phone (and it finishes synchronizing)if I click on anything else in iTunes the whole machine freezes until I kill the iTunes process.
I have already tried reinstalling iTunes latest version.
Vista, iTunes 10.3.2, iPhone 8G.
Please let me know if you have any idea what the problem could be.
Thanks!

I didn't think the new ipod classics would work with Windows 2000. I quote from the technical specifications:
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later
I seems odd that your ipod worked with 1.0.1 then ran into a Windows 2000 issue with 1.0.2 I don't have an answer but it might be worthwhile to ask Apple about this.
