Performed OS update this morning - multiple launching errors

Got on my computer this morning (MacBook Pro - Leopard OS), all was well. Performed an OS update, now cannot access my computer. All kinds of "application quit" or "failed to launch" errors related to Finder, iCal, AirPort, Dock, etc., etc. when the computer rebooted. Error reports to Apple would not send. Powered up and down several times. No luck. WHAT is going on? Help!

You only need one of them. There are several out there to choose from - I'd go for DiskWarrior if I could just have one.
Most of these utilities comes on a bootable disc as they can only repair the drive that you're not currently started up from. Personally, with external HD's being so cheap these days, you can also consider investing in one too. This will allow you to keep a bootable clone of your whole system (There's plenty of free software to do this and it's really easy to do). So repairing the disk before updating becomes a lot simpler as you can use that instead of the CD which takes a lot longer to bootup from, and you get a full backup to either return to should something ever go wrong with your main HD or just to get back something you removed.

  • Upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with error: CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.

    upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: ''CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.''
    when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

  • My iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning?

    my iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning? does anyone know how to fix this ive foiund a few people on google today its happened to?

    I suspect the error message you saw earlier said something like "the maximum number of free iCloud accounts have already been created" or something similar, which is often associated with a 403 error.
    When you get that message it means that three iCloud accounts have already been created on your device and you cannot create another one.  This often happens when you purchase a used device and the previous owner already used up all of the alloted iCloud accounts on it.  When this happens, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on another iOS device or Mac when you have one.

  • Tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • TS1717 When I try to play a music video in my music or preview in the itunes store, itunes crashes (I uploaded to the lastest update this morning)

    So when I go into "recently added" and double click on a music video to watch or even when I go to preview a video in the itunes store...Itunes stops working and shuts down.  I just downloaded the most recent update this morning.  This is very frustrating!  And I'm not logging in under a new profile on my pc!  Can we get a patch or something to fix this issue.

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • After doing a Foxfire update this morning, I now get a second icon on my tool bar when I change from news to gmail?

    After accepting an update this morning from Mozilla, I now get a second icon on my bottom toolbar when I change from either news to gmail or from gmail to news. I tried restarting my computer but it still does it.

    Thankyou mccashin:
    I checked the home page assignment in preferences and found that the errant site had been appended to the normal (google) home page address. Incidentally, I had basically solve the problem within a session by erasing all history related to bbc. Without your fix I would been back to the same error next time I started Firefox from scratch. Thanks again.

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

    My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1. All was working fine yesterday.

    BTW, I can read everything just fine, but when enter information to post and press the post button, nothing happens. I have another computer running Win XP and firefox 8.x and all is fine.

  • My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

    My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • Using 3.6 version, updated this morning no bookmarks, restored them but bring it up and no bookmarks again?

    Using 3.6 version, updated this morning no bookmarks, restored them but bring it up and no bookmarks again?
    I restarted my computer after re installing my bookmarks from my desktop but the bookmarks are not showing up when I bring up a new browser window. Was working last night and this morning it had an update then the bookmarks disappeared. How do I get the bookmarks to come back up when bringing up a new browser window?

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
    See also [[Menu bar is missing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization

    If you installed "CleanMyMac," the instructions for removing it are linked to my last comment. If it's something else, see below. If you don't know what you installed, ask for instructions.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
