OSX 10.6.4 and onwards...anyone else experiencing this stuff?
I just want to know if anyone else has been having these issues too, because all they seem to do is pile up with every update. Let's go back to 10.6.4...
First, I got it, and as soon as I did, my sleep light stops working and the computer takes forever to go to sleep.
Then I get OSX 10.6.5. Start up begins to take forever. The sleep issue wasn't fixed. iTunes began slowing down, giving me the rainbow disk as I searched for a song or tried to load it. Logic Pro also takes about a minute now to prep the hard disk to record instead of like one second.
Then TODAY I just got 10.6.6. neither of the previous issues were fixed. I did a HD scan to see if there were issues, and there was one error that was repaired with the disk, but it fixed nothing.
Has anyone else had these surmounting problems too?
No, because the problems are associated with your system installation and/or hardware.
The sleep light may be hardware. The other problems would likely be solved by doing a backup of your drive, then erasing it and reinstalling Snow Leopard from scratch then downloading the 10.6.6 Combo Updater to update (support.apple.com/downloads/.)
In addition verify you have installed any released firmware updates for your particular model, try resetting the PRAM How to Rest the PRAM and the SMCHow to Reset the SMC.

I am running OSX 10.6.8 and when I try to install the latest security update there is an unknown error and the update cannot be implemented. I still have to restart my computer each time I try. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

I have a iMac version 10.6.8 and used to have adobe flash player my laptop requires me to download the latest version of the player but warns me that there is a "risk" downloading from the internet. Anyone else experienced this and may have some solutions
Install it directly from Adobe. Ensure that you use the uninstaller before installing.

I have tried to order a photo book. Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?
Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail. -
Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?
To clarify: you are not being charged for the extra storage - it's complimentary to reflect the fact that you had storage in MobileMe. At the end of June it will disappear unless you care to pay to renew it.

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
What upgrade did you apply? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance
Hi kylie,
The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
Cheers,

I have an Iphone 5 16 gig on the Sprint network and since i've updated my ios, it now jumps in and out of cellular service. I was told that you can revert back to 8.0.0 but i can not find a way of doing that. Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix?
Hello, rscottval
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would close all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Once this is done test the results.
iOS: Force an app to close

If you are still having trouble with the text appearing as you type after following those steps, you may want to try turning off Documents & Data under your iCloud settings. On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off Documents and Data.

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?
I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~) -
I updated to 7.0.6 and now a lot of my music is missing. It says it's on the cloud. Anyone else experiencing this?
If you updated via iTunes on the computer if synced media like apps and music were not in the iTunes library they they will not be on the iPod after the update.
If yo updated from iOS 6, iOS added the SHOW ALL feature ins Settings>iTunes and App Store. When on, iTunes purchases not on the iPod will be show in the Music app with a cloud icon by them indicating that they are not on the iPod and just tap the cloud icon to download them to the iPod. -
