Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Screen freezes at start-up after latest update download

I have been using Yosemite for months without a problem until today. I downloaded the latest update, computer restarted, got the white Apple screen, then the loading bar, then screen switched to all white and freezes there. I never get the sign in screen. I've tried resetting the PRAM, unplugging the Mac, and doing the Utility repair which tells me theirs no problems with the disc. I have a back-up G-Drive but just moved and forgot to install it after the move. If I recover from the G-Drive it will be an old OSX version - not Yosemite. Can anyone help me to get my machine running from Yosemite again?

Looks like it was a problem with the Apple TV unit itself. I took it to the local Apple store, and it turns out that it was from a bad batch for which replacements are available [1], and I was given a free replacement. Problem solved. : )

Blue screen flicker after security update

I just downloaded the recent security update this morning, and now about 5 minutes after starting up my macbook pro, the monitor flickers to blue for about 5 seconds or so, then flickers back to the desktop for less than one second, and flickers back to blue again. Multiple hard boots doesn't resolve the issue, but booting into safe mode keeps it stable.
I thought it might be an issue with having a Second monitor installed during the installation, since the issue didn't come up until after shutting down, unplugging the monitor and running the laptop on its own. After the second time rebooting, i pulled up the display prefs in system preferences and It pulled up two windows, one for the mbp display and a second for a display that was 1x1 pixels. I then pressed "detect displays" and it seemed to fix the problem. Then a couple of minutes later it did the blue flicker again.
I have a 15" mbp 2.2 core i7 with 8GB RAM that was purchased in june 2011 and is running 10.6.8.
Right now i'm not sure what to do next. Any help?

Hi,
I struggled with the same problem when the stage is squeezed just after the Default.png disappears and after less then a sec it stretches to the right aspect ratio.
The settings I'm using:
aspect ratio - landscape
fullscreen - true
auto orientation - false
After trying different things (using other png's and other solutions people offered) I think I finally found a fair solution. You can still get a very short flicker every now and then but for example when I tested my app I opened it 20 times and received a flicker only once. But yeah, till Adobe or someone else finds a better solution for this issue I think it's the best you can get.
So it's pretty simple, just set the scaling mode to no_scale by putting this line of code on your first frame:
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
I'm still struggling with doing the same thing when using the document class. It seems like it takes more time till the line is fired and you'll always get the flicker for a very short time (although much shorter then before adding this line of code).
I hope it will do the trick for you. If I'll find a better solution or will find a better way to implement this solution with the document class I'll post again.

Vista - Updating iTunes Library Error, Freeze, Blue Screen - Work Around?!

I may have a solution & partial root cause for the "Update iTunes Library" freeze / blue screen issue.
Details:
- I've been running Windows Vista since its release.
- iTunes worked fine under Vista since my XP->Vista clean install.
- I updated to iTunes version 7.1.1.5 a month ago and the problem started.
- After installation, iTunes tried to update the Library and after a minute or two, it hung and then went to a blue screen. I restarted iTunes MANY times over the month and tried to re-install it - nothing worked.
Solution? (for me anyway)
Recall that when you log into Vista, even if you're the only user, you DO NOT have administrator privilages. You are only granted those AFTER a request and authorization (I think this is where iTunes hangs). Now, this solution might be a stretch, but iTunes worked after I stumbled across this. I took two steps and am not sure which or if the combination worked...
- I was working with system commands that required administrator authorization. So the system prompted me, as it does everything, and I was granted them. Was this key? I don't know.
- I also copied the iTunes Library to my Desktop, started iTunes and let it create a new, blank, iTunes Library. I closed iTunes and copied my old iTunes Library file back from the Dekstop.
When I restarted iTunes, it started to update the iTunes Library and this time it completed successfully.
Not taking anything for granted, I did a shutdown/restart to make sure it was clean.
- I did run into a blue screen AGAIN at shutdown. But this time it rebooted clean and iTunes has been running perfectly for 3 days.
I hope this helps someone!

what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

Leopard slow starting up after latest update

My MAC Pro is very slow starting up after latest update. Before it took 15 seconds and now takes approximately 8 or 9 minutes. There is a blank blue screen for the entire time, i have repaired disk permissions but this has not helped either. Can any one suggest anything else.

Download an appropiate utility such as Onyx, etc., and purge all caches, user and system. Also do an [SMC reset|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411] and a [NVRAM reset|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379]. When you repaired permissions, you also repared the disk itself, right?

Daily Freezes/Blue Screen Shutdowns on HP M8100N Desktop Product GC673AA w/ Vista

Hi - Hopefully someone can help me fix the Daily Freezes/Blue Screen Shutdowns on my HP M8100N Desktop Product GC673AA w/ Vista. Occasional freezes started about 3 months ago and ocurred maybe once every 3 weeks. They gradually progressed to the point that I am booted off my PC daily. I've resarched message boards and tried to resolve on my own with no success. I get different messages on The Blue Screen that appears since I changed the settings to not allow automatic shutdown. Among the Error messages are the following:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. (i Wrote the additional detail which I can provide if needed, but all of the messages reference disabling BIOS memory options for caching/shadowing) I've tried but cannot find the option anywhere when I get into the BIOS screen.
KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR ( i CAN PROVIDE ADD'L INFO IF NEEDED)
CHECK ADEQUATE DISK SPACE. IF DRIVER IDENTIFIED IN STOP MSGE DISABLE OR UPDATE IT. CHECK BIOS UPDATES. DISABLE BIOS MEMORY OPTIONS
BAD_SPOOL_HEADER
These are 4 Blue Screen mesages since I changed the Shutdown settings.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried all kinds of fixes with no success. I only download basic HP, Vista, and basic software updates. My spyware is AVG, Advanced System Care, and Spyware Dr.
I've considered a System Recovery but have never been able to do a backup since buying the PC in 2007. I always get the Error message: BACKUP ERROR I/O Device Error OX8007045D.
Any help resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Impossible problem after latest update of 10.5 and 10.6

Hi all,
I've an incredible problem that I'm not able to solve...:
after latest update of 10.5 (some days before SL) I noticed that mouse movement was very strange and every 10 seconds (about) the mouse acceleration speeds up and after 1 seconds turn normal. The problem repeat in infinite cycle. With 10.6 and 10.6.1 is the same.
I made also this test: I boot with Leopard DVD and tested the mouse movement on the install screen. The movement is ok but if I boot with Snow Leopard DVD the mouse movement on the install screen is wrong.
Then... this is not a problem of a software on my hard disk (my first suspect) but some difference on the driver of the mouse that on my iMac has this problem.
Someone can help me?
Thank you all

faabri
What kind of mouse are you using?
EDIT: I just saw your other post here . . .

Slowdown of safari after latest update ?

Anyone have the same problem with Safari after latest update: very slow especially when downloading images ?
MacBook Pro Retina 15"
Yosemite 10.10.3

There are many possible causes for problems with web browsing. Below are some simple steps that may help either to solve the problem or isolate the cause.
Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Restart your router and also your broadband device, if they're separate.
2. If you connect to the the router with Wi-Fi, turn off Wi-Fi and then back on.
3. If you connect with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi.
4. If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed.
5. Select the Extensions tab in the Preferences window. Turn all extensions OFF and test. If there's an improvement, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
6. If you're running OS X 10.10 or later, select the Search tab. Uncheck the box marked
          Enable Quick Website Search
if it's checked.
7. If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Quit and relaunch the browser.
8. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest.
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
9. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
10. If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test.
11. If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test.
12. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked.
13. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and if so, are they affected?
14. If you can, test Safari on another network.
15. Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.

There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

start up problem...a blue screen appears after the gray screen and the spinning gear

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...
