Microsoft KB2670838 update problems

Microsoft has released Platform update for Windows 7 SP1 that brings some DirectX 11.1 features.
It seems as there are various stability issues with this update on laptops and it also breaks Firefox 19 for now. I'd recommend to do a full system backup before applying the update to prevent problems with potential BSODs etc or skip the update now because it does not contain any security fixes.
Microsoft has also stated in the answers forum: Microsoft is aware of an issue some customers are experiencing when installing KB2670838 on certain laptop systems with hybrid graphics. We are looking into the situation and are considering blocking the update for systems that could be affected. Customers who are experiencing issues on systems that already have installed the update should consider uninstalling KB2670838.

Problems with Microsoft Server Update Service (WSUS)

Hi,
Anyone experienced similar?
The Microsoft Server Update Service (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/updateservices/default.mspx) can be set up to use an ordinary proxy server.
But it cannot connect through Web Proxy Server 4.0.2. If I shift to a Squid Proxy Server everything is just fine and patches are downloaded right away!
Seems like a Sun Proxy problem?
Regards,
Kasper L�vschall
BTW: Any news on the release date of version 4.0.3?

Thanks! Looking forward to the release...

Strange behavior of WindowsIntune / Win8.1 : Repetitively launch C:\Program Files\Microsoft\OnlineManagement\Updates\Bin\omupdclt.exe

Hi,
After moving from Win8 to Win8.1 (using WindowsStore update),
I observed sometimes that some command prompt Windows (ugly black MSDOS Windows) opens / closes Repetitively in my desktop.
At a moment where the computer was really busy, I was abble to see the title of this black window :
It was : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\OnlineManagement\Updates\Bin\omupdclt.exe
Can someone tell me how to prevent this strange behavior ?
Thanks in advance.
AC Soft.

I have also openned a case at WindowsIntune support, and up to now, they replyed me this :
We have been able to reproduce this issue ourselves. We are currently working with our engineers to identify if there is a way to prevent these command prompts from launching.
So, while waiting, I Tried your solution.
On the Win8.1 computer that had the problem, i found an AccoundID value, with { }, and all letters in Uppercase, as described in your solution. So, the problem for me is not that AccountID is not populated...
When I looked at another Win8.1 computer that had not the problem, i found an AccountID value
without { }, and with all letters
in lowercase.
So I looked at a Win7 Virtual machine that was enroled into intune too, and that obviously didn't had the problem, and I found there an AccountID value without { }, and with all letters in lowercase, same as on the working computer.
So on the computer that had the problem, I removed the { }, put all letters in lowercase, then run
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\OnlineManagement\Updates\Bin\omupdclt.exe /agentupdatenow
I rebooted the computer, and now, I wait to see if the problem is solved...
I will tell you what happened in some days...
AC Soft.
That process will not fix this issue. We have a fix coming in an upcoming service release.

Any fix to Lion 10.7.5 update problems?

I have a 2009 macbook pro that has always run perfectly. That is until I just downloaded the Lion 10.7.5 "update". What is did was make me very disappointed in Apple. Safari opens but that's it. It won't navigate anywhere. Blank screen. Also, I can't drag and drop anything. Including files to folders, email to folders, or items on the dock.
I've read about countless problems with this update in a couple of different forums. It seems that Apple released an unstable update but is not openly addressing it.
When I was a Windows drone I knew enough about the registry and other ways to try and "fix" it. I even came to expect the constant problems from Microsoft's "updates". I never expected anything like this from Apple, my computer is out of warranty, and I really don't have a clue what to do at this point.
Is anyone aware of an "easy" fix or know if Apple is addressing this (a link would be very heplful).
Thanks in advance!

Found my Seagate external drives. 500gb each. Apparently they only work with Windows according to the pdf file. Can't imagine why a hard drive isn't just a hard drive. Oh well, guess I have to go look for one.
Seagate makes external drives for both Windows and the Mac but the main difference is in the formatting. There are instructions on Seagate's website about formatting the PC drives to work with a Mac and it's essentially the same process. I can't say for sure if formatting them that way will allow them to boot a Mac OS installation. I've been through 3 of Seagate's externals and found that even when formatted for the Mac, there is a hidden MBR (master boot record) which seems to interface with the external's hardware. I couldn't test them for booting because they were connected via USB 3.0 to a PCIe card in a Mac Pro which doesn't support booting.
Anyway, assuming each Seagate drive is big enough to handle the entire contents of your internal drive, you can clone it for backup and then try to boot from it. If you have to completely reinstall the OS on your internal, you'll be able to use Migration Assistant to restore everything from the clone you've made. But before you do, you should try running from the clone to see if the problems you're having are still present. If not, the issue might be with your internal HD. You should also try running the combo updater from the clone (if you can boot from it) with the internal as the target to see if installation will be allowed.
Finally, if Safari is the only problem, you might consider simply using a different browser. Firefox is stable, and with a remarkable range of extensions, very flexible. Or, take a look at this forum thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148675?start=15&tstart=0. In the middle of page 2 is a link (http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/37/23/041-5058/lr5tynbldi18zcrqo8a8uq8 8rnjushqliu/Safari6Lion.pkg) to what looks like an installation just of Safari 6. I have no experience with it but it seems to have solved the issue for many posters, aka use at your own risk. The big problem seems to be that you need a browser to get it and your browser isn't working, but even a temporary installation of something like Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop) can get it for you. To be safe, you might want to try this after you make your clone.

Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
. While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

After installation of Microsoft security updates the FN keys lost their functin except the Brightness + / - function.
also the soft keys which appear at the upper monitor border by pressing the FN key didn't appear after the security packages were installed.

10.4.10 power update problems

A friend of mine experienced some computer problems after downloading the latest 10.4.10 power update, mostly USB failures. When I recieved the update message I didn't download because I wanted to check to see if other people had any problems. To my surprise I discovered from going to the iMAC disccussion forum that many people were having all sorts of terrible problems. Some people had no negative experiences but many did and they weren't just USB glitches.
Has anyone here had problems after downloading the update or heard of this situation? Google "10.4.10 power update problems MAC".

Hi, Mike.
You might want to search or post on the "Microsoft Messenger for Mac" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS Microsoft Messenger for Mac users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

Disable Microsoft Auto Updates via ARD/Terminal

Hi there,
We have rolled out 100 copies of Office 2011 to our 10.6.7 users.
By default they are currently set to automatically check for Updates. I'd like to stop Microsoft Auto Update from running on each machine and then roll out updates (After our own testing) when we see fit using ARD. This will also save us huge amounts of bandwidth.
Does anyone know how the terminal commands to stop Microsoft Auto Update from running automatically?
I have asked over at Microsoft but I dare say they're not going to be too helpful!

As an update to this thread.
MCX would indeed be a way to do this for users, however MCX aka. Managed Preferences is deprecated in Mavericks and you should instead do this via Profile Manager. There is also another method you could use, if you put this preference in the User Template folder then any user account created afterwards will take a copy of the plist file and use it. The following command would create a plist in the User Template folder with this setting
sudo defaults write /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2 HowToCheck Manual
You could also add this to a DeployStudio (or similar) imaging work flow by adding the following to a generic script step
/usr/bin/defaults write /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2 HowToCheck Manual
By the way, my thanks to varjak for the original solution.

Update problem - VBDATA table

Dear All,
We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
Thanks in advance,
Federico Biavati
My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hello Siva,
This is what I did:
> Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
> You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
> that are pending/in error
Good point!!
After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
Thanks for you help,
Federico

Chart x scale update problem

LabVIEW 8.5.1
Sweep Chart Problem
The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep. The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart. I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this. I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
I've included a simple example.
Thanks much,
JSC321

You have a typical race condition!
There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
(Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
Try it!

10.5.7 update problems

After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

jjtopspin wrote:
Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.
