Odd Vibrate Behaviour after 3.1.2 Update

I saw one other post concerning this issue, and was curious how many others have experienced this 'problem' (or if anyone has stumbled on a 'fix'):
Since I updated to 3.1.2, with my iPhone vibrate setting ON, after the 'sound switch' is placed to silent, the iPhone will vibrate once (as it should). Approximately 5 minutes after the iPhone has fallen asleep, there will be another vibrate cycle, with no associated reason.
Also with the above settings, when I've pressed the 'top button' on my iPhone to put it to sleep, 3 - 4 times the iPhone has entered a loop where the vibrate will turn on and off at a rate of 1/second. Waking the iPhone stops the vibrate behavior.
I've been unsuccessful in getting the above behavior to occur every time, though I've not changed any of the other settings. It almost appears to be random.
Thanks for your thoughts...
Bob

Restored the 3.1.2 firmware again and Internet is reachable again.

Unable to boot from ODD or USB after windows 8.1 update on P850-31L

Hi
I just updated a P850-31L to windows 8.1 from windows 8 through the windows store.
Before the update I was able to boot from a USB drive by pressing F12 during start up.
After the update I was no longer able to boot from the USB drive. Selecting the USB drive by changing the boot order in BIOS setup via F2 or by pressing F12 no longer works.
Booting from ODD is also no longer possible.
The BIOS version is 6.70 and does not allow secure boot to be disabled. However the DVD and the USB stick I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10 which worked prior to the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.
This would then appear to be a bug in the Toshiba BIOS? Or has the windows 8.1 updated the BIOS or the EFI boot partition in such a way as to override the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, doesn't seem to be much information about.
Any thoughts or assistance would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Michael
Update: I just tried booting from the Toshiba windows 8 recovery DVD and this no longer works either.

OK I fixed this.
Firstly it's worth noting that it is possible to to disable secure boot in the 6.70 BIOS.
However this option is only available when the user password is not set in the security menu.
After enabling or disabling the password a reboot is required to make the secure boot enable/disable option either available or unavailable.
That's good I suppose as I guess it may prevent secure boot from being disabled when the machine is running. However this does not appear to have been related to this issue.
I selected the 'reset to factory defaults' option on the exit menu.
The machine was then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.
Perhaps the windows 8.1 upgrade somehow invisibly corrupted the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage co-incidence that the BIOS corrupted itself during the install. Either way that factory reset fixed it.

Odd Sound Behavior After 10.6.2 Update

I've had a few odd sound issues since updating to 10.6.2:
1) Volume is set at 50% after some reboots (I normally have it set at 12.5%). This has happened about 1/2 the time after reboots (which have unfortunately been much more often in 10.6).
2) While iTunes is playing the sound stops and the sound icon in the menu bar greys out. iTunes keeps 'playing' but I don't get any sound. This lasts for 5 - 10 seconds and happens a few times an hour but without any predictability.
It may happen at times that iTunes isn't playing and I just don't notice it. It has happened while the system as announcing the time as well. This may be the cause of sound issue #3 but I haven't caught the sound icon in a 'grey state' when the notification sounds don't play yet.
When the sound icon is grey I get the beach ball and Safari doesn't respond (standard 'Application not responding' message). Other apps seem to work while this is happening (Finder, System Prefs - including sound panel, FireFox, etc).
3) Some expected sounds used for feedback in Finder & Mail don't always work. This is very intermittent and may be happening more often then I notice these are notification sounds and I don't realize that I've missed them. I don't know if it's associated to the sound failure mentioned in #2.
~
I've also had some other odd behavior:
* System won't wakeup from sleep (not always but often enough to require several reboots in the last week).
* Safari just eats up RAM.
* Safari has locked up for no apparent reason (no clue as to what sets it off).
* Safari has locked up while using a Java applet. This only happens on occasion but always happens when launching a GoToMyPC session (GTMPC works fine in FireFox, even while Safari is locked up). This is separate from the Safari issue noted above.
I'm using 10.6.2 w/ Safari 4.0.4 & iTunes 9.0.2 (Flash not installed)

You could try [these grey sceen, etc., troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570] ignoring any duplicaion of what you already have don. And, you could try [these general troubleshooting steps|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1394] again ignoring duplication.
If all above fails, then I suggest you do a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed.

10.6.5 update - 27" iMac, Radeon 5750 odd graphics behaviours?

I updated my new iMac 27" to OS 10.6.5 today and have seen some odd graphics behaviours.
1. Dock icon for Activity Monitor becomes transparent. Running AM, hidden showing CPU history
2. White rectangle at bottom of expanding folder (list view)
3. OK Button blue/white check mark pattern when configuring VPN. GUI feels "slow"
I updated using the Software Update tool; noticed these issues and re-updated using the Combo Installer; no change.
Any ideas or suggestions? Is this just me? I have a MacBook -- no probems at all!

N Gallagher,
I had the problem earluer, but it got far worse with 10.6.5, however, I fixed it by updating my wacom tablet driver.
It wasn't the system update, but an old driver causing the problem.
Resetting PRAM, SMC and permissions and all the other standard drivel people post is nice sentiments, but it should be clear that the problem is something else because that solution hasn't solved the problem for anyone.
I have the sneaky suspicion that it's old flash and old drivers for most people.
See my original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12570261#12570261
BUT. If you have a Wacom tablet, for to their website and download the latest driver from September 10, 2010.
That's all it took for all my graphics problems to go away.

[solved] AMD Radeon - strange behaviour after mesa-update

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is my first posting, I will try to give as much as detailed information refering to my problem as possible. Please be patient if I ask for solutions which for you all seem easy and logical, I am a Newbie.
The details: I am running a HP Pavilion 17 " AMD Quadcore laptop, 8gb Ram, Arch Linux 32bit Kernel 3.17.1 XFCE desktop with an AMD Radeon graphic card for about a few weeks now. Everything went fine so far, but last Saturday I did an update via pacman-Syu, the update included a mesa package. All went smooth as ever. Then after a reboot the XFCE desktop had stripes across the laptop screen, the mouse cursor had disappeared, also letters of the icon descriptions and the menus were missing, some strange "hieroglyphics" appeared instead of them. I wasn't able to downgrade the mesa-package as I nearly wasn't able to open the terminal because of the missing mouse cursor, then I managed somehow to get into the terminal and gave in the commands but the writing was incomplete and/or did not work because of these strange and missing letters.
No problem, I thought to myself, a fresh install will do the work, so I wipped my hard drive using Parted Magic, then I did a fresh Arch install (Netinstall), this time using LXDE instead of XFCE as my desktop environment. When I booted into the login screen first, it looked fine but after logging into the desktop all the stripes, the missing mouse cursor and the strange letters appeared again. So is there any solution to that strange behaviour ? Before the Saturday-update everything worked without any problems for weeks. BTW other OS work without these problems, I tried Macpup just for fun, no messing-up with my Radeon graphics card happened.
Sorry for my piss poor English I am Austrian. Sorry for eventually causing any inconvenience asking this question. Regards, Fladi.

Odd bluetooth behavior after ios 8 update

After the ios 8 update a call is no longer automatically transferred to my headset when I switch it on during an incoming call.
Before the update I could switch on my Jabra headset while my iphone 5C was ringing and that would automatically answer the call and direct the sound to the headset. That is how a bluetooth headset should work.
After the update the call is answered when I turn on the headset but the sound is not transferred to the headset. If I press the answer button on the headset the call is terminated. Makes absolutely no sense at all. Any ideas for a fix apart from waiting for 8.0.3??

I have he same problem when I have bluetooth activated and my IPhone is paired. When the phone rings and I press 'Accept' I receive the message 'Call has Ended', however if I quickly press the Speaker Key and select my Jabra blue tooth device, I can capture the call. Why isn't the Bluetooth device connecting to the call automatically when the blue tooth is paired and active? Receiving the Message' Call has Ended' and having to quickly tap on the speaker button and press the Bluetooth device before the call goes the voicemail doesn't see right. Thank you

Odd sleep after 10.5.5 update

I have noticed some strange behavior from time to time after applying the combo update to two MBP's.
You put it to sleep, and shut the lid. If you raise the lid shortly thereafter (meaning your computer should awake), everything you hear indicates the computer is awake, but the screen is dark. You have to hard power off and power up and then things are fine..

Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

No service after iOS 5.1 update

Okay so it looks like i'm hit too.
I bought a referb(haha) 3GS(16gb newer model) from AT&T and it came with IOS 5.0 pre-installed, everything worked fine updated to 5.0.1 as soon as I got it activated.
I then upgraded my phone to a 4 and decided to give my 3GS to my brother (who also has a 3GS, just an 8gb version), before I was going to do that, I decided to restore and update, after resetting all settings and updating to 5.1, I put in his SIM into the phone but itunes says that there is no SIM inserted into the phone and I'm not able to activate it. Same for wifi activation, (says server is busy). I've tried another AT&T SIM from another iphone 3GS and the same thing, No service, no SIM, busy server. So I thought It'd try and restore the iphone, I put it into DFU mode, hooked it up to itunes, hit restore and it gives me an error 3194.
Oddly enough I don't get this error on my laptop if I restore from there. Either way, my 3GS is no longer working after the 5.1 update. I was told by my friend who works at the apple store that 5.1 does break a few iphones for one of two reasons, but he didn't think the problem with my phone were either of them.
Uhh.. Any thoughts on this?
Also, sorry if this was posted on the wrong board.

UPDATE: I attempted to bypass activation using the emergency call 112 to get into the homescreen, but the call failed, in fact, even 911 will not go through and give me a call failed. (before you yell at me for dialing 911, I'm a firemedic )

Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

Hello everybody,
after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
java
'java' in your current PATH
Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
Best regards,
Björn
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have narrowed down the problem even more:
Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

HELP... after 10.4.11 update I can't boot past the blue screen

HELP... after 10.4.11 update I can't boot past the blue screen, and it is pretty frustrating, to say the least. Here's what happened last night:
I installed elgato's eyetv 250, and at the end it asked to update the software. I did so, and when I tried to run it again it said I had to be running 10.4.11. I quickly went over and downloaded the 10.4.11 combo updater to my desktop and proceeded to repair permissions on my disk so I could run the updater.
I repaired permissions and started the updater. It got halfway through updating and said something like it could not finish and stopped. No reason why - it just stopped. I tried it again, and it did the same thing after going about 25 to 30 percent through the updating process. I thought that was very odd, so I checked, and I was running 10.4.9.
I thought I needed to get the 10.4.10 update, so I downloaded the combo updater several times. It would not run, giving me some error message that it would not even open, so I thought I needed to restart my computer to get it to run. I did so.
That's when my computer would not boot. It gets through the initial white screen with the logo in the middle and the revolving circle, and while it stays there for a long time the fans run increasingly faster. They tame down, and then the blue screen with "Mac OS" on it and the blue progress bar comes up. There is no blue progress bar, though... that's where it stops and will not go any further.
Can ANYBODY help me get this thing booted back up? It was so late last night that before I started I didn't back the Mac up, and of course I have a project on there that I need to finish Saturday afternoon for a company.
ANY HELP WILL BE SO GLADLY APPRECIATED. If you can give me step by step instructions on what to do, you will surely be blessed! Thanks for any help,

Hi mrstang, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It sounds like Disk Directory problems.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

ICal quits unexpectedly after 10.4.3 update

Updated to OS 10.4.3 and now my iCal won't stay open. It stays open for a couple of minutes and then I get the dreaded "quit unexpectedly" message.
This happened earlier in the year after an earlier software update and strangely I was able to resolve it by putting the system to sleep and then waking it up again. Odd.
Ideas?

Yes,,, how did you solve the problem specifically from all the suggestions you got?
I got a whole new powermac and used the migration assistant, but that didnt bring the information over for some reason (regarding iCal atleast, and some small unimportant pref files).
I tried faking a 'subscribe' situation, a drag and drop, emailing the ics file, manually inputting them into the new machine's folder and so on but no go. And I dont have a .mac account to try pushing them over...

Main account gone after 10.6.4 update!

I just installed the update for 10.6.4 and restarted.
FIrst thing I notice, all my files on the desktop are not visible. Apparently the new update restarted in an old account - but problem is I can't open in my normal old account. I can still see and open files from the desktop, but want to go back to this user account.
Anyone else with this problem?
I really don't need accounts, as I am only person using the machine. Only have had to create when migrating from my last 3 macs.
Thanks for help, this is a hassle.
Peter

Hi,
I think that you are right. This morning I finally accepted the system software update 10.6.4 and restarted after it downloaded. When it rebooted, I had no files on my desktop except for the 2 internal hd and one external - which is to say all of the files I ordinarily keep on my desktop. So I went to the main drive and chose the users file, opened it and saw each of the listed users for the computer. I never use other accounts but am aware that they are there, and that this would be where I would find the desktop files if the were not erased. Sure enough my usual account with the home icon (let's call it USUAL) was there with 2 other previous ones, and a guest account and a shared account. On opening the USUAL account folder, I found and was able to open my desktop files. I opened system prefs and checked the accounts - no trace of USUAL but it shows that I am logged in as OLD account with admin access (from previous machine that migrated over, if I recall correctly).
Also, it appears that keychain information is fine as I can still log into password saved websites.
What I can't do is access the files of the other accounts with the exception of the shared one.
And I can't see the USUAL account in the accounts section of system prefs.
And as I say, I don't have my files and folders on my desktop.
I guess that's it - I could just restore from Time Machine, or I could copy the files from the USUAL account to the new desktop. But the accessibility issue of the other accounts seems odd.
And I want to keep updating my system as normal - which seems like a problem if I just restore.
Ok, thanks for considering this.

Odd software behaviour Lumia 720

I'm the proud owner of a Lumia 720 since July. I'm facing some odd software behaviour recently though. Without notice or any pattern, the current app changes to another one, sometimes four or five times while my phone vibrates like mad. It happens two, or three times a week, and there's no significant pattern but this weird "phone on speed" behaviour always ends in the Bing app. I thought rebooting was the answer but it doesn't. Does someone has any clue?

Ugura,
Thanks for your reply. I adjusted the touch sensitivity but that did not do the trick. Last night, I was already sleeping, suddenly my Lumina 720 played a song that I played before many weeks ago. That was quite odd too. With my phone connected to the charger, me asleep and there was that terrible noise from an old U2-song... And I could not stop it, nor could I lower the volume so I had to turn on my computer to find the keys to a soft reset and it was in the middle of the night.
So I waited till this morning to reset my phone to it's factory-settings. Much to my annoyance- without any external app loaded, the phone went on nuts again. This time, while vibrating taking numerous screen shots... It's like my phone is haunted. A little poltergeist in it. I need some high-tec exorcism I'm afraid.
Hope someone can help me further!

Can't receive calls on locked iphone after 2.0.1 update

since i updated my original iphone from 1.4 to 2.0.1 firmware, i have the following problem: when the iphone is in use, it receives calls just fine. but once the phone is locked (that is, the screen is black), all of a sudden it can't receive calls anymore. it does not ring or vibrate. only after it is unlocked again, i get a "missed calls..." message. any ideas?

Actually, it appears there is an issue with 7.1.1 which a lot of us are experiencing. See here:
