New iMac crashing after Lion and SN updates

Well this is my story bought my new imac Jan 2011 - Snow leopard 10.6.4 installed - worked fine problems started after upgrades to 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 - wifi probs initially then a tendency to crash to black screen about twice a day - just a little click noise then nothing often when surfing.... anyway endured this prob and thought upgrading to Lion might fix it...
After installing Lion my new imac ran for 2 mins max before crashing to black screen - I went online and tried all 'known' fixes (no help) - I am now back to 10.6.4 and have had a trouble free day ....been using macs since 1993 and never recall a prob as bad as this - still have a Blueberry imac running OSX beta (lol changed the clock) and Emac running 10.2

Also as a general rule of thumb NEVER NEVER EVER EVER upgrade a computer that isn't 100% stable at the time of the upgrade. When you do you are NOT fixing a problem you are making the problem much more difficult to troubleshoot and fix. You may benefit by reading Understanding upgrade nightmares, this should help explain and possibly shed some light on your problems. My iMac has successfully upgraded over many many updates including major OS X upgrades from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion. In each case the migration was simple and the computer remains as reliable as it did when it was new. This is primarily because the computer was stable on each upgrade.
My recommendation would be to start all over again with the base version of OS X that was installed on your system. Do an erase and install and only upgrade to the next version of OS X when the system is 100% stable. WZZ wrote a good guide on the process he does when he upgrades, I do something very similar and as explained each update has been very smooth. Please read his Update Process.

Simple fix for the Preview and TextEdit Crash after Lion OS X Update

After reading and looking all ovwer the internet for answer. I finally just started to decipher the crash report. The problem is a Permissions problem. All you have to do is:
1. Right click on the /Library and selct 'Get Info'
2. Unlock the pad lock in the lower right hand corner.
3. Click on the + symbol to add a user.
4. When prompt add the 'root user'.
5. Give the root user Read/Write privaledges.
6. Lock the pad lock and open Preview.
This worked for me and I hope it works for you to!

Just figured out the TextEdit and Preview crash problems. Apparently it is an ACL issue. If you don't know how to change your password and reset ACL's, then follow the instructions below:
- Shut down your computer,
- Restart holding down the "Command R" Keys (you want to access Mac OS X Utilities),
- In the top menu go to Utilities and then Terminal,
- In Terminal type "resetpassword" (it can be your old password, just as long as it's changed),
- Click on "Save"
- Below that, hit the "Reset" button (this will change the ACL's),
- It will take a few seconds/minutes…
Restart your computer. Login to your account and you should be good!

IPad wi-fi not working after Lion and cloud updating

Updated to LION OS 10.7.2 and updated iTunes today along with updating to the "cloud."
Updated iPad to 5.0.1.
Wi-fi is not working now.
On my desktop iMac I went into system preferences and went to "sharing" and have "internet sharing" checked. This is how it was working before.
I am trying to finish my iPad update. When I get to "wi-fi networks" it shows my iMac G5 but just keeps searching after I try to select it. It will not connect to my wi-fi. How do I get it to work????

I am using an intel i3. When I said above about my G5...that was just what my computer was named. I have a new iMac but when information was transferred it must have kept the name of it as my G5.

After Lion and iWork-update: all fonts are kind of broken

After updating everything: Really had some issues with iTunes and iWork not starting anymore, and didn't update anymore, too.
Worked that out by downloading it directly from Apple's download-website. Everything seemd fine.
But now: every iWork-files seem to be corrupted. All text is unreadable, fonts/characters are chaotic. EVERY iWork file is unsuable!!!!
Strange thing: everything worked out fine with my other Mac.
Any idea? This is a desaster!

Hallo everybody and thanks for all replies!
After deleting all caches everything works fine again (⌥ ⌘ P R while booting, waiting for second or even thinrd "beep").
The problem only occured on my MBP, not on my iMac. As my MBP became unsualy very hot, too, my guess is: The MBP ha to less time for re-indexing afte the installation of Lion (I almost immediately started working again). Over night there is no heating-up issue anymore. Seems the caches-clearing and enough re-indexing time did it.

Any ideas?

When I click "Empty Securely" a dialog box appears indicating 68,000 files (correct) and the disappears and trash remains filled.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

I have a new iMac, running Mountain Lion, with CS6. I have the tablet with the keyboard. I'm finding that in CS6 I have to type command-C and command-V repeatedly to copy or paste anything. It is not the keyboard; I've switched that out. What is it?

Yes, EEK!
Have you run Microsoft Update and installed the latest 14.2.4 Office update yet?
Humor me. When you perform copy, do you then establish keyboard focus by clicking the mouse pointer on the destination screen for the paste action -- before keying the paste?
Have you installed any third-party keystroke mapping software that may be getting between the operating system and these two applications?
Under System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, have you enabled Sticky, Slow, or EEK! Keys?
In System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text Input, doe the check marks look like the following:

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?

try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple

I am not sure you have home shareing with 10.4.11 but if you do it works very nicely

Have new iMac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro3880, loaded printer drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opens, then crashes. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my last iMac)

Have a new imac OSx10.8.2, and when I connected my Epson Stylus pro 3880, loaded print drivers, and tried to print, the printer utility opened and then crashed; happened several times. Any ideas? (it worked fine on my older imac)

I believe so. the driver version I have is 8.64
The person gave me the instructions to reset the printing system and I followed it. That's what corrected the printing drop down windows.
I am also having trouble finding the downloaded icc profiles for the papers I use. I see them in the Color Sync Utility, but not in the drop down window for Color Management. There is a thread on this forum relating to that, but I don't understand how to "copy" the profiles and put them elsewhere.

21.5 iMac freezing after lion

Brand new i5, upgraded to Lion, all recent updates installed...dont know the exact build of the os10.6.?. Now Im getting a frozen black screen. No response to keyborad or mouse input. Fan seems to still be running, and the only cure is to force restart with a hol-down of the power button. Its happeneing too much, *** "macs never crash" right?

Well I am sorry to say that four months later I still have all the problems mentioned in my original post. No updates or solutions have worked. In Lion whenever the system freezes or refuses to wake, the console shows a long list of GPU debug values.
The problem seems to only happen after being on for a long time. If sleep is enabled, it will not wake. If sleep is not enabled, after a while of not being used something--either a game, video, or itunes... will cause the UI to freeze. This makes it difficult to reproduce, and when I take the computer in to Apple, in the 30 minute genius session of course everything works just fine. I does not seem to be temperature related because when idle or asleep for a while the temps do not rise.
At this point I am regretting the purchase of this system. I seriously hope that Apple can resolve it soon. I am aware that many, many other iMac users have similar issues, but there has been no acknowledgement from Apple.
Not happy.

Crashing after 9.1.1 Update

iphoto has crashed on me twice since 9.1.1 update. Hadn't experienced any issues with it before 9.1.1 update ( well , apart from being a bit slow when moving between images after edit, but no crashes). Both times crashed after adjusting Canon raw images, which wasn't a problem before update. Using 2010 core i5 iMac.
Anyone else experiencing crashes after 9.1.1 update ?

After not having any issues at first.. my 9.1.1 iphoto is now crashing after 10-15 seconds when starting up. From the crash log I can see its the face detection thread thats dying.. I'd be happy to disable it to be able to access my library again.. but can't find anything online on how to do that.
I tried using library manager.. to create a new library.. which worked fine at first.. until it presumable got to the same photo/face detection place and now that crashes just the same as before the whole rebuild exercise..
I can't see from crash log which file its processing.. any ideas how I could tell that ? Adding files one by one is not an option ( there are many thousands )
