Oss-old version + new update causes MAJOR problems....................

hey all...
if ur experiencing quitting apps, probs w/ itunes7, etc, and u have oss (ANY version), get rid of it immediately.........
the new updated version is even worse than the original.....
goto the uninstaller or delete it with appzapper (if u can get it to stay open...)
gl...............

I have done that, several times.
So this is where I'm at now - last night, immediately after finishing a movie that was on my WD hard drive, which holds all of my media, music, movies - I restarted my computer and then it would not read the drive. It said it was unreadable.
I brought the Mac and the drive into an apple store today - they said basically it was my hard drive causing the issues. I used my iPod classic as my media back up as the 160 gb could hold all my stuff. Well, as I mentioned previously, that can't sync and I restored it, with no success. So in essence I lost my media drive and the back up. Tough to swallow, I'm angry, I think it's still mountain lion causing the drive to fail.
So I resolved to go home and restore my computer to one of my time machine back ups and do a Snow Leopard reinstall. Well, the moment I returned from the apple store, the time machine drive is now listed as unreadable. I called support, spent hours with them - I now have two drives which fried within 10 hours of each other in the same error. The senior support manager agreed it sounds like mountain lion is indeed corrupting my drives somehow. My iMac currently won't start into the recovery disk. So I went out spent $200 to get a new hard drive, which I am now backing up my data onto with a new Time machine.
In the last week, I've lost my iPod classic, iPhone 4, two external hard drives and now possibly even the Mac itself. I'm going to install snow leopard and see if it alleviates any of my issues, or hopefully can read my drives. I truly believe Mountain Lion is the problem.

  • Xorg & Catalyst updates cause major problems here

    I went through the other similar threads and tried just about everything without luck... The latest Xorg & Catalist updates cause lots of problems on my desktop.
    The video card is an ATI X300.
    Without a xorg.conf, X server starts and things work, more or less - but much slower than they used to. It's pretty clear fglrx is not actually used, xv doesn't work, fglrxinfo gives:
    Error: unable to open display (null)
    With the previous xorg.conf (the one wich worked fine before the updates), X doesn't start (even after commenting out the "RgbPath" line and adding Option "AutoAddDevices" "false") and the log shows many fglrx errors such as:
    (EE) fglrx(0): Unknown EDID version 0
    (EE) fglrx(0): ===[swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7
    X -configure won't generate a xorg.conf
    Fatal server error:
    Caught signal 11. Server aborting
    In conclusion:
    - without a xorg.conf fglrx doesn't work although X server starts
    - with an old xorg.conf fglrx will generate errors and X server will not start
    Any ideas?

  • 10.4.9 Update Caused Major Problems

    I was downloading the new update, and at some point during it (I believe when it was installing), it popped up with an error and said that the package had been moved to the Trash. I didn't think much of it, figuring I would just download it again later. But after that I couldn't open any new apps, and when I tried to empty the trash it never went past "Preparing to empty the trash...".
    So I tried to restart, but Finder wouldn't close because it was still trying to empty the trash(I couldn't close the empty trash dialog). So I turned it off with the power button, and now when I try to start up it won't go past the Apple logo on the gray background.
    Any ideas on what happened or what I can do? I'm reluctant to take it in for service because the closest store is hours away and I need the computer for school.

  • 10.8.2 Mountain Lion Update Causes Major Problems

    I'm running an early 2009 iMac and I made the jump to Mountain Lion about a month ago. Initial upate ran OK, I had some problems but overall it ran pretty decently. I held off on updating to 10.8.2 because I wanted to see if it caused any issues, but decided to go ahead about a week and a half ago. Since then, my computer has had daily problems. To name a few, my computer completely crashes when going into sleep mode and will not return, the sound frequently disappears and goes unrecognized. iTunes has been an utter disaster - I have an iPod classic, which as soon as I plug in causes iTunes to crash. I've had similar issues with my iPhone 4. Airplay drops regularly when I never had that issue prior. Homesharing in particular causes iTunes to crash, which was working infrequently as of just yesterday.
    I've had quite a few issues, which over the past few weeks has rendered my iPod classic and old iPhone completely useless as I cannot sync them to put music on them (I restored iPod to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. So now I have an empty iPod that won't sync). And the workaround of using homeshare was viable as an alternative, but now does not work at all. Connecting to my Apple TV takes 5-10 times longer than it previously did, and the connection occasionally drops. I used all these features with a regularity which makes this extremely frustrating.
    Not sure if Apple plans to fix this with iTunes 11 update, but I'm hoping something will come about soon. I called support to inquire about downgrading back to Snow Leopard, but the guy on the phone convinced me to reinstall the OS, which I did. It has not solved any of my issues (although I was finally able to update my iPhone 4 to the latest firmware, it will still not sync or do Homeshare). Any ideas how I could solve these problems? These all started happening the day I updated to 10.8.2 and, as I said, I hadn't experienced anything like them previously. 

    I have done that, several times.

  • 10.6.6 Update Causing Major Problems!!!!!  Thanks for nothing Apple!!!

    Strange things have happened to my computer after the 10.6.6 update:
    1) My system already had Snow Leopard installed, but now when I go to "About this Mac" it has mysteriously downgraded to 10.5.8.
    2) A folder with question mark icon appears at bootup before Apple logo.
    3) Large amount of permission errors that can't be fixed via Disk Utility (see below).
    4) Disc drive will not read or boot from my Snow Leopard or Leopard CDs.
    5) Will no longer detect my external hard drive where my Time Machine backups are held.

    It didn't do anything to Front Row on my computer. I doubt it did anything on yours, either.
    1) Update wouldn't have done that. There is no code in the update to replace that string with 10.5.8.
    2) Your boot files are messed up or non-existent. Very rarely this can be fixed without reinstalling the system.
    3) There are always a lot of permissions that can't be repaired by DU because they don't need to be repaired. They're not broken, just different. Did you check permissions before you applied the update?
    4) Sounds like you have serious hardware problems. With the Snow Leopard disk installed, can you restart while holding down Option key and get to the startup manager? If so, pick the Snow Leopard disk and boot from it. Use Disk Utility in the Utilities menu (available after selecting a language) and repair the disk. Don't repair permissions from that disk.
    If it finds errors and fixes them, try booting from the hard drive. You may have to re-install Snow Leopard.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion and it caused major problems

    Down loaded Mountian Lion and caused major problems long story short had to reinstall Leopard then Lion but I lost my iTunes library. I thought if you had icloud you could recover you library. Or just log into iTunes and your library would appear. Appearantly not because I lost over 3k songs can someone help me with this if possible.

    Reinstall from your most recent backup...

  • New version of JDev causing JNDI problems

    We just upgraded to the newest Developer Preview of JDEV and all of a sudden client code that compiled and ran fine under the old version is no longer running. I'm guessing something changed in the libraries, but I'm not sure what and why this is occurring.
    Here's what happened:
    1) It seems that the constructor for InitialContext having a parameter for Properties is no longer available. PITA...but whatever, I switched it to use the Hashtable environment which should I figured work. However:
    2) Upon switching to the new environment passage I get an exception:
    javax.naming.CommunicationException with the topmost stacked function being oracle.oc4j.security.KeyExchange.getKeyAgreement.
    I'm guessing that passing the string password into the environment is no longer acceptable?!? WTF!
    So, does anyone have any suggestions to fix this. I'm sure we should be using jndi.properties and all that jazz, but we have tons of client code that works this way and I'm not about to go changing it all unless I really have to.
    edit: I tried a sample piece of code using jndi.properties file and am getting the same exception. Maybe this is a problem between the two libraries (OC4J server & the lib on JDev??) GRRRRRRR!
    Message was edited by:
    [email protected]

    OK...turned out to be the second one. I guess the new JDEV libs aren't compatible with the older server I'm running? I just had to remove all the Jdev libraries from the project and point them to the libs within the server install.
    So...if anyone else runs into this...that's how I fixed it. Sorry I wasted y'alls time and threadspace :D.

  • Itunes did not remove old version to update to new version

    after many attempts itunes will still say couldnot remove old version and fails to update! Ihave tried revo uninstall, ccleaner, regedit removing all to do with itunes,Apple,bonjour,quicktime to no avail please HELP! SOS

    Perfect, thanks.
    old version of itunes cannot be removed.contact technical support group.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes 11.0.3 causing major problems with Safari and Mail.

    I have a 2007 aluminum iMac with 4GB of Crucial RAM running 10.8.3, now 10.8.4.  Got an iTunes update to 11.0.3 a few weeks ago.  Since then, iTunes, Mail, and Safari can't be open at same time or iMac slows to a crawl.  10.8.4 update did not fix this.  I've run the Apple hardware checking program and all checks out fine.  I've run Clean My Mac 2.0, which didn't help at all.  I installed a widget to monitor internal temperatures, and they are not too high.  I've tried a Time Machine restore to May 14th, but it didn't seem to restore the old version of iTunes, but rather rolled back the desktop.  Please help!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • ITunes 10.2 not deleting old versions of updated apps

    My setup has my iTunes library in the default location on my C: drive.
    Most of my apps though are located on my E: drive (for space reasons).
    With iTunes 10.1, when an app was updated by iTunes, iTunes would delete the old version from the E: drive and place the update on the C: drive -- this was fine. I had no problems with this (ocassionaly moving the apps manually to the E: drive).
    With iTunes 10.2, it places the new app on the C: drive and leaves the old version on the E: drive. This is not a good situation as iTunes allows for different apps that have nothing to do with each other to have the same file name.
    If I was to manually move apps now, I will have to deal with a lot of headaches of figuring out whether to allow / not allow files to be overwritten.
    Please go back to the iTunes 10.1 method of deleting an old version of an app whereever it is located when storing the newer version of the app in the default library.
    Thank you.

    Thanks so much for all your help.
    Bob

  • Old versions after update

    I have Mac. After new version install why do all old versions still show up in applications file? Will it cause problems if old versions are deleted or do they need to sit there taking up space?

    We don't overwrite your apps so you can keep previous workflows.

  • 10.5.8 Install caused major problems

    When I started this machine, I used Migration Assistant to move from a G4 to an Intel processor which apparently is a bad idea.
    Finally, after 40+ hours of work and a half-dozen calls to Apple over months, I had to perform a clean install with 10.5.4, update to 10.5.7 and rebuild the data stores piece by piece. There were some problems, especially related to PERMISSIONS, but the new install seemed OK after spending another $100 on Disk Warrior 4 and rebuilding all the permissions.
    Then (about 10 days later) I installed 10.5.8. Suddenly all my permissions were wrong -- I could not even use GET INFO. Spent four hours rebuilding what looked to be all permissions through the Disk Utility. Seemed that the major change was to "downgrade" permisions from 777 to 770, or something like that.
    Seems generally OK, except now MAIL through IMAP GMAIL seems not to update properly.
    Any known reason that a functioning machine suddenly needs to have all the permissions rewritten?
    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks for the extensive suggestions. I always try to maintain two separate, up-to-date backup, one on Time Machine, one via Super Duper, in separate sites.
    Excellent.
    Thanks for the details, but what you suggest is what I finally had to do two weeks ago when I did the clean install that left me with permission problems, defined as repeated interruptions with the message "You cannot do "x" because you do not have permission."
    Then there are three possibilities: 1) you didn't really do the install the way I said to and it wasn't really "clean", 2) you've got some kind of skanky third-party software installed that is causing the problem or 3) you have a very odd hardware problem. From the error messages regarding permissions, I would consider #3 to be extremely unlikely.
    I got Disk Warrior because it was strongly advised by one of several telephone consultation with the Apple Expert after I was having problems with permissions. He said it was faster and more thorough in repairing permissions than Disk First Aid.
    I think you must have misunderstood. DiskWarrior does not have anything to do with permissions, it rebuilds the drive's directory structure. I can't imagine someone in Apple support would have told you that it repairs permissions, though I suppose that's always a possibility.
    As near as I could tell over a week or more of relatively intensive operation, after I adjusted all of the permissions, there were no further operating problems with the Mac (other than one Eudora crash)
    One crash is not equal to "no further problems," and just because you haven't noticed the problems didn't mean they weren't there. The number one most common cause of problems following an update is a damaged system getting further damaged.
    Your advice suggests that instead of trying to run my struggling nonprofit organization I should just quit and take up management of my MacBook.
    Well now you're just getting whiny. What I told you to do will take some time, yes, but not more than a half-day's work to get back to a state that you could work from. Either do it or don't, but don't blame the advice.
    I have been using Macs since the mid 1980's and this is a special problem.
    If you really had been using Macs since the 1980s, you should know that there weren't permissions until *this decade*. There also weren't regular updates back then, since the internet was not commonly used and typical connection speeds were much slower. So of course it didn't happen back then. However, these days it is not a special problem, though it is not what I would call a common problem.
    I should add perhaps that simultaneous with this series of problems with my Mac, the Foundation had a disk failure on a Dell laptop, still under warrantee. It took us ten days of staff effort, PLUS four more days and $800 in fees to a local Geek shop to get that fixed and all that Dell provided was a replacement hard disk.
    How is this relevant?
    I have been into my Annapolis Apple store twice during the trevails with the MacBook, but both times they were too busy helping people learn how to dial their iPhones to provide any real assistance.
    Did you make an appointment? If you are going to bring a machine in for help, you need to have an appointment with a Genius. If you don't, you will wait. Or go home. You can make an appointment online at your local [Apple Retail Store page|http://www.apple.com/retail>.

  • J2SE update caused Skype problems..... ?????

    Good morning everybody.
    I hope my post will not be removed - I tried to get help from Skype support with no help, and since an Apple update caused my Intel iMac some problems, i hope this is the right place for my question
    A few days ago i received a message regarding automatic update from Apple regarding:
    Front R update
    QuickTime update
    J2SE50 Release 4
    When trying to install, i got the message that its not possible on my machine? So i was adviced from Apple support to manually install these updates, which i did, with success...
    Until i tried my Skype , and thats what i get in the chat-instant messaging window whenever i try to write a message to another Skype user:
    <div class="incoming context"> <div class="message-head"> <span class="sender"><a href="skypechatcontact://%senderScreenName%">%sender% <span class="date"><b> %time% <div class="clear"> <p>%message%<div id="insert">
    all i wrote is "testing" ...
    I believe its a problem with JAVA, so i was on the phone with Apple supprt for 2 hours, and after all the checks, they said that can not help me, as it is a problem of Skype ....
    Please note that the users i write to, CAN c what i write, but i can not c it, or c what they write me.
    Please also note that i erased all the Skype preferences, and all file sfrom library and applications support, tried to reinstall, erased all again, then tried to install the new 1.5 gold, and then Beta 2, but all the time the same problem...
    Would be very happy if someone here has any idea how to solve this issue... I looked and asked alot in Skype forums, seems that more people got my problem, but nobody was able to find a solution...
    Thank you very much for all the people here that try to help.
    Have a great day everybody,
    Elad
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi, thanks alot for your reply.
    Well, after Apple support , checking with me some issues on my Intel imac decided its all ok with my OS, i thought would be good idea to erasae any Skype trace from my OS, after that i installed again several different versions of Skype, the 1.5 and the 2 beta, whcih worked great before it all started...
    And i just keep getting this "gibrish" codes instead of the text i type..
    Regarding the permissions, must admit i have no idea about this issue, c, i was using XP until buying the mac, so im learning all the time...
    I will be looking now for the info regarding permissions, and then try it.

  • Colour Profiles on exported images causing major problems

    I've been exporting keynote slides as png's to use in video presentations. The problem is that the png's are saved with colour profiles, which means if I export the images from diferent macs, or even the same mac but with a different monitor attached (therefore a diferent monitor colour profile active), the images have very noticeable colour variations.
    This is a major problem. I exported 1,000 slide transitions to import into Adobe Premiere, then about 500 slide updates that when imported, were in some cases darker or lighter even though I was using the same keynote and original images. I had to create a batch job in Photoshop to open, ignore the stored profile and save the images using a new default colour profile to try and get all the images consistent.

    There needs to be an option in either the Keynote preferences or export options to save exported images without colour profiles.
    No, there needs to be documentation on the ICC architecture and how ICC profiles are applied. Stripping out embedded ICC profiles will colour manage the objects (images) in the system, but when the images pass outside the system they will not be colour managed any more. In this scenario, either they will have to be rendered as deviceColor by the numbers, without a definition of the colours their colourants should form, or a source ICC profile will have to be assigned by the following system/application.
    I've been exporting keynote slides as png's to use in video presentations. The problem is that the png's are saved with colour profiles, which means if I export the images from diferent macs, or even the same mac but with a different monitor attached (therefore a diferent monitor colour profile active), the images have very noticeable colour variations.
    I could be considered an unconditional bug in Keynote if it embedded the current monitor profile and not the system RGB colour working space profile (: Generic RGB Profile). If indeed Keynote embeds the current monitor profile, it could be considered an unconditional bug in your understanding if you start by stripping the source profiles. You should be doing a profile to profile conversion in order to get into the RGB colour working space you want in Photoshop.
    Sorry, but it helps to have a basic understanding of media independent colour matching (even if the developers don't sometimes -:)).

  • How to resolve new update causing sim card to fail?

    Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem with this update causing the sim card to fail?

    I could only confirm what didn't help in my case:
    - removing card was working only for 2-3 weeks
    - replacing sim card didn't help
    - rebooting device didn't help neither
    - reseting device - te same story.
    It is widely reported issue for iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPad2, iPad mini after upgrade to IOS 7.0.6 or 7.0.3
    Funny is that in my case only SIM card from not supported by Apple GSM operator works (I've tested about 12 SIMs).
