Please help! Security update has ruined my PowerBook!
I just did the latest security update, and now my Powerbook is dead. When it tries to boot up, I hear the Superdrive make a whirring noise and then nothing...no startup tone or anything else. It just sits there with a black screen and makes no noise. I have powered it down several times and then turned it back on...the same thing happens. What can I do? My whole life is on this computer, I can't afford to go a day without it.
ok, i ended up taking out the ram and trying to boot. with one piece of ram in it made the chime but wouldn't boot. then i put both back in and no chime. then i started swapping the positions out but no boot. finally, i put the ram back in the original locations and it booted up perfectly fine, recognizing the full 1GB of installed ram. i am so thankful that I was at least able to back up my files. any ideas on what is going on here?

Help. iTunes update has ruined me.
I updated to the new iTunes 7.1 and now, when i plug my iPod in, it simply shuts down. You plug it in and iTunes just closes without warning, and then osx ask's you if you want to reopen it.
Help....
James.Before uninstalling and re-installing iTunes (no, reinstalling iTunes won't delete your library, although it's always a good idea to have a back up available), try removing the "com.apple. itunes.plist" files from the Users> home> Library> Preferences folder, after quitting iTunes.
Start up iTunes again after removing these files and re-try the iPod.
If a re-install of iTunes is indeed required, check out the tips in this article as you proceed:

Keep in touch!
(BTW..you did make sure you ran Software Update recently...)

After updating to ISO6, my email sending get extremely slow or dispeard. on the botton line of mail page always indicate "sending # of 9", however I do not know where to check or delete these unsent items. Please help! It has consumed lots of data.
I use @me.com and @hotmail.comHi,
>>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
Ok, but on the other hands:
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table x (name char(10), name2 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into x values ('hello','hello');
1 row created.

You will need to post the exact message, although I would guess that the download was corrupted during download. Did you do it over a wireless network? It may be better to connect straight to the ethernet port and download from there or try going to

and download directly from there.

What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone
What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!
I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

Another way to confirm that an apple security update has been installed?? i.e 2012-001
Hey Guys,
Do we have another way to confirm that a security update has been installed?
Ways that I can check.
Installed Software tab in software update
Acutally run a software update to see if you can acutally download and install it.
ThanksOpen Terminal and type "softwareupdate -l" without the quotes.
To get a list of available updates, type "sudo softwareupdate -iva" (no quotes; admin password required).
To install recommended updates only, type "sudo softwareupdate -irv" (ditto).
There's more here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/13/install-mac-os-x-software-updates-terminal/
Please note it can take a while for your system to actually display all the updates you've already installed after typing the first command. -

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!
How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT... -

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!
The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! -
Help please: Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update
hi, same issues as everyone else after downloading Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update, just hanging on blue "loading mac osx", no password screen comes up. i did not have an error like some others when downloading except at the end when it said my startup memory was low, i closed that screen and tried to reboot. that's where i meet everyone else's problem.
I DO NOT HAVE A TIGER START-UP DISK. (i bought my mac a year ago on ebay and the software was installed.
i need help from beginning to end because i am not very mac saavy. thank you. ~lauraThe next step would be using the Install Disk to either change the Passwords, or do an Archive & Install if you had enough free space, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -y Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
1. The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
2. Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

Oh the infinity symbol has disappeared (It was there at first but then when I tried to log in it froze up and I had to quit) Opening the programme Ai just brought up a bouncing ai icon which quickly turned to adobe updater - which did not respond. so i have read on the boards you need to delete update which i have done but now it just says i need it…. i can't log in… am very worried as i have to urgently sort something by half five and have no help from previous messages and am currently still on hold (have being transferred from you instantly asked sales line) waiting for help… please help!
Nobody can help you without proper system and version information or other technical details. if the update is botched, then run the cleaner tool and reinstall from scratch.
