My Mac has lost it's mind since the 10.5.2 update! System VERY unstable!
Ok, ever since I installed the 10.5.2 update my Mac mini has been behaving badly! This sucka is askin' for a time out (if you get what I mean). We're about to see just how airborne a Mac mini can get in a few!
Ok, since I updated to 10.5.2 I've been getting these crashes here is a report from one of the crashes which gives some message like, "You will need to restart your Mac." I just know I had never seen this message until I had installed the latest OSX update.
Is there a way that I can uninstall this update? Now it's gotten to be so unstable that I'm no longer getting any error message, it just locks up after 20 or so minutes of use sometimes.
Oh something else in that started happening. I can't leave it running idle for more than 20 to 30 minutes or it will lock up for certain. When it locks up the only thing I can do it to power off and back on again.
Is there a way to remove the updates that I had installed? I'm using Time Machine, but is there a way to revert back to a time just prior to installing the 10.5.2 update? I'm afraid if I can't figure this out, I'm going to have to delete and reinstall Leopard and see if that resolves my problems. Oh, is there a diagnostic test that I should run to make sure I'm not having a hardware problem. This is my first Mac ever so I'm not sure exactly how to troubleshoot it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Um, no actually I don't have THAT many devices attached. I have the Apple keyboard, a Logitech mouse, a FireWire external hard drive which is my boot drive and a USB key drive may have been plugged in at the time (which isn't now and nothing has improved). I don't even have a printer attached right now.
Leopard has gotten so unreliable that I'm seriously thinking of wiping out everything and reinstalling. I can't keep the **** thing up and running at this point. It keeps locking up on me and NOT reporting any error messages. I couldn't even run the Disk Utility last time I booted it up. Even that locked up on me. I don't understand what's happened! It used to be rock solid, running WAY better than my Dell Windows Vista box. Now it won't run for ****!
So why can't I just remove the last update and see how things run then? Can't updates be removed? Can Time Machine restore the system files to an earlier point in time. What a frickin' waist if it can't. I come from the Windows world where I could restore from a restore point and it would set things back to where they were last working. Does that not exist on the mac? I'll try to remove the Logitech mouse software and see what difference that makes, but it's been running great for 6 months with it. Like I've said before, things didn't go south until after that update was installed.
So if anyone else out there has some ideas, PLEASE let me know!
Thanks,
Jeff

Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?
since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?
As i've posted in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
My big question here is :
why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

My Mac has lost the keyboard command to zoom in and out (Apple/shift/ /-) How can I restore this?
try doing an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

also go into your keyboard options and make sure the settings are correct there. -
Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?
That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS. -
i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?
how do i get them on my new mac now?
Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -
My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!
My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update. Is anyone else experiencing this? At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning. Now my phone is completely dead in the morning. I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.
One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
Close as many as possible if you don't need them. -

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

Start up time is very long, since the 10.10.3 update
Ever since the 10.10.3 update the start up time has been very long; a blue screen will show for about 20-30 sec then the apple sign will show, after entering my password the loading time is at least 10-20 sec longer than usual. Any ideas on what i can do to stop this?

Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

TS1436 Since the last I-tunes update I can't create new playlists or burn cd'sfor my car
Since the last i-tunes update I have lost the ability to create new playlists as well the option to burn a new cd. I ued to be able to click "File" and go from there. The file option is gone since the new update.
How can I test the other display theory? I didn't connect any new monitor (I do use 2) but I occasionally use stuff like remote desktop tools.
I'll try and update the display drivers (even tho I updated them recently).
P.S.: opening it on the other monitor worked. What the heck. Any way I can make it work on both monitors?
I'll be making more tests in the meanwhile.
