Never ending "please reboot to update" cycle

Ever since (successfully) updating to v 4.1.0, every time I boot up I receive the Adobe message "The computer must be restarted before updating can continue. Would you like to restart now?"
I've lived with this as all it requires is for "No" to be clicked on each startup (clicking "yes" simply re-boots the PC with the return of the message again), however, I now discover that when I try to run Adobe Updater, the same message comes up. This means that I can no longer update and therefore the problem becomes more serious. I'm guessing it may be a registry flaw, but wouldn't know how to attack it.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Many thanks,
Aidan

With all respect; of course I can do that, but I'm hoping to avoid taking up their time, by first trying the forums.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

New to Mac: My Macbook Pro does not power on and off very well. It freezes in the never ending circular swirl. I have to hold down the power button to get a "reset." I have updated software

Hi doctor.saddam,
If your MacBook Pro is shutting down unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

How to set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a new device

SOLUTION for the never ending reboot loop when charging

I used my iPad until the battery was completely flat, then when I went to charge it, it got stuck in the never ending reboot loop where it shows the Apple logo for about 30 seconds, then shows the home screen for a split second before shutting down and repeating the whole process again and again.
So here's what you need to do to fix this problem without having to restore or plug into iTunes.
1. Plug in the charger
2. When the Apple logo appears, unplug the charger
3. As soon as you see the home screen appear, plug the charger back in. You need to do this quickly as the home screen only shows for a split second
4. The loading wheel should appear and shut down the iPad
5. Leave the iPad for a good 30mins or so just to get some battery life into before you start using it again.
And that's it!

Figured I'd start recording the errors I get in the Installer Log:
localhost : BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format
localhost : Install failed: some files for GarageBandinstrumentsTiger may not have been written correctly.

I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance (: !

Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
(If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
http://www.speedtest.net/
IF your computer still has issues then:
Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
(Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
Do not erase or reformat the drive.
Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Silverlight here
https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
http://www.clamxav.com/
Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

Ipod boot never end...

Hi all,
I have a big prob with my ipod photo 40GB : I tried to use it in disk mode to backup my hard disk, and during the copy the ipod gave a unknow error. Since this the ipod start the boot (white apple on black background) and never end, the boot restart every 5-10 secondes... no ipod on dekstop so no way to reinstall it with ipod updater. I tried the 5R but it still the same... Please help !!!
Thanks in advance
Phil

I am experiencing the identical problem. I am hoping that if I drain the battery until it is completely dead it may force a "hard" reset which when charged again, it may start working properly.
Let me know if you find anything out.

D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
My questions:
what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
Thanks for your help!
Lenovo PC Think Station D10 6427-H6G, Windows XP

regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.

Cache refresh never ends

Hi,
when I refresh the cache in PI... it always stays in the state : Cache Content is being updated...
It never ends and I'm getting some really strange behavior in Integration Builder like when I configure a configuration scenario and put a communication component for a business system, it is ok but then the setting just disapears if I switch to another business system in the graphic and comme back...
It looks like a cache problem and its driving me crazy. Its actually easier when you have an actual error rather than a never ending process.
Thanks.

Hi
-->Please Follow the below steps for CACHE REFRESH,If these does not solve your problem contact your basis people and restart the Server.
-->In ID fro MENU->TOOLS->Click on Cache Notifications ans see the status if the cache is not updated.
then goto T-code SXI_CACHE and do the Full cache and Delta cache refresh.
-->Also check the RFC destination of type H in your PI system INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI is working or not if not check the path prefix and your technical settings and logon security correct or not.
>Also do the cache refresh from PI home page ADMINISTRATION>CACHE OVERVIEW ,Do the cache refresh for IR ,ID and RWB.
Thanks

Never-ending restart

My phone has begun to restart itself several times a day. It then continues into a seemingly never-ending cycle of turning off and on. The Apple symbol appears followed by a circular symbol and then it goes black and repeats the process. It has been like this for going on 3 hours now and I would love to clear all the data as I have seen suggested but I can't get that far. Please advise.

Try an iPhone Reset by pressing/holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo then release. This can take up to 10 seconds and decline the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
If this doesn't work and your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected to your computer, time to call AppleCare - (800) 694-7466.
