Preview & Ipoto problems since last update

Last night, I was offered and installed the following updates;
2010-04-04 22:26:01 +0100: Installed "AirPort Base Station Update 2010-001" (5.5.1)
2010-04-04 22:27:25 +0100: Installed "Security Update 2010-002" (1.0)
2010-04-04 22:28:20 +0100: Installed "iTunes" (9.1)
There was also a 4th "QuickTime" update, but during the installation process it complained that the package could not be verified, and failed to install. After that, anything which uses quicktime would immediately fail due to missing libraries. So this morning I did a "check for updates" and redownloaded it and it installed OK;
2010-04-05 06:40:01 +0100: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6.6)
However, now I get the issue that Preview won't open when working on Photo files (Nikon .NEF), and Iphoto has just told me that it can't import 5 out of 10 Jpegs (but could when dragged in individually) and when I tried to import 93 .NEFs, it did it Ok, but complained that it couldn't import 186 files (who knows what these were...)
Is it just me or is this update flawed? Any suggestions on returning to normality?

For which phone model?
Make sure that the ringtones are stored in the internal memory space in the ringtones folder there.

  • Problems since last update... default browser, scanning probs with Laserjet

    This may be general, but I don't have a lot to go on. Also, two issues may or may not be related.
    1) Since the last update, which included a firmware update, when I reboot my Mac my net apps (Adium, Firefox, etc) always get taken out of default, and I have to make them default again when I first load them. This is annoying... anyone know how to make this stop?
    2) Not sure when this started to happen, so it may have been associated with the update, but my HP Laserjet 3055 will no longer scan documents. Printing, fax, etc., all work. Just can't scan anymore. In fact, in HP Director I can't even get the "Fax" button to activate (it's grayed out now).
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi, with regards to #2, I had the same problem after the latest update and the following cured it.
    Use the HP uninstaller and delete all HP files, empty trash and restart. Then download and install all needed HP software/files and install. Restart and all should be ok.
    Good luck with #1

  • My iPhone's iMovie, the clip sequence/audio/timing all off, a serious problem since last update

    clip sequence and timing won't save at the desired position, having to go through the movie again and again re-timing it, just wont remain in place to produce desired imovie, worthless if nothing will set as you wish. An error after last update.

    Hi there,
    I would suggest you do a reload of the software after a full backup, I would suggest you load using desktop manager and see if it gets back to normal. Also check if the settings have not changed especially for location/GPS services which can be demanding on power.

  • Home sharing photo problems since last update

  • Problems since last update of iTunes 6.0.5.20

    I was having trouble with my 60 gb video ipod, so updated both ipod and iTunes to the latest version over the weekend. I had to go to get my ipod restored at the Apple store on Monday, and when I tried to re-load my songs on to the ipod (over 7500), it took over 18 hours and then was not successful. So I decided to manually import songs and playlists and got it back up to about 5000 songs (could have gone further, but was afraid to press my luck). I kept looking at task manager when it was synching, and noticed it was consistently at over 50% of CPU. I'm not sure if this was happening before the update.
    This morning, everytime I try to access the Music store, it hangs up itunes. I can get there successfully from the new 'mini-store' that's part of the latest version, but when I hit the 'home' icon, it hangs again.
    Anyone else having similar problems, so I can figure out if it's my computer or the latest version, or some problem this morning with the Music Store?

    I think I have the answer.
    I was experiencing the exact same problem. I tried lots of different things but what I think works is to exclude your iTunes folder from Spotlight. Open the System Preference for Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, and then drag your iTunes folder (in your user/Music folder) into that window pane. In fact, I think it is faster when I am fixing tags!
    Let me know if it works for you too.

  • Dreamweaver pages won't preview in Firefox since last update (3.6.13); Firefox opens blank page only. I am running OS 10.4.11 on iMac G5.

    Previously both Firefox and Safari would display web pages created in Dreamweaver (MX). Dreamweaver is set up to preview by default in Safari (F12) and, using (F12) and the Command modifier key, in Firefox. Now the preview works only in Safari. Trying to preview in Firefox results in Firefox opening, if it wasn't already running, but only a blank page displays.

    That didn't work. The problem is now on both accounts
    That's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repariing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

  • Problems while roaming since last update of an iPhone 5

    Since last update the phone loses signal intermittently while a regular phone in the same network/account has a steady, strong signal. I've reset network settings and since it didn't work I did a hard reset, erasing and restoring the phone. The problem persists

    Hey Manuel Flores-Arce,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone is having a service issue while roaming. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • Address Book repetitive crashes since last updates ?

    Hello,
    I do apologize for the length of this post but I don't know how to shorten it without removing some details useful to understand the problem encountered.
    My sister has got an intel iMac with Tiger 10.4.10 and since last updates (10.4.9 and/or 10.4.10) she cannot use AB more than some seconds. It crashes consistently everytime it is open, even if no other action is done. There are also problems with iChat, iCal, Safari and Mail (but less than with AB).
    When I visited her recently, I had a look to the console (even though I'm far from being an expert myself but I tried to find a track before asking here).
    I noticed that for both crashes (Safari and AB), there was this mention :
    quote
    +CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:+
    + /Users/nnnnn/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData/.info+
    + The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.+
    +Error in createMutableDictionaryValue:1012 for property 'URLs' 'XML parser error:+
    + Unexpected character = at line 1+
    +Old-style plist parser error:+
    + Unexpected character '0x3d' at line 1+
    +Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: Exited process crashed+
    +Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Exited process.crash.log+
    unquote
    because of the "+not proper UTF8+" I tried to change it in AB preferences/vCard/encodage in "+proper UTF8+" and because of "+Old-style plist parser: error Unexpected character+" I tried to check and validate fonts of Fontbook. Unsuccessfully.
    Back home, I searched on the web and read somewhere that there could be a problem with the "catalog" that could only be repaired by DiskUtility from the install disk. That was done today but the "*hard disk seems to be OK*" and AB crashed as usual when open.
    there were two crash reports, one for AB and one for ABsync (? curious since she has no .mac account and does not sync her mobile phone).
    The AB crashlog(1) finishes so :
    quote
    +Thread 3 Crashed:+
    +0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0b54 __memcpy + 948 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
    +1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
    unquote
    and the ABSync crashlog(2) :
    quote
    +Thread 0 Crashed:+
    +0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0af6 __memcpy + 854 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
    +1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
    unquote
    and finally when I asked her for a screenshot of her ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, I was surprised (comparing with my folder) to find she has three ABPerson.skIndexInverted files (I have only one) the second file is ABPerson.skIndexInverted.218 and the third ABPerson.skIndexInverted.286.
    I suppose two are toomuch but which ones have to be delete ...
    Sorry for this (too) long post and hope the light will come from some reader better educated in hard and softwares than us.
    (1) (2) I have a longer version of these crashlogs but this post is already very long and I'll post them only on request (if needed)!

    Hello Josy.
    After fixing the filesystem issues, which you say you’ve already done, try re-creating the Address Book files that may have become corrupt, one at a time, as follows — or restore them from a backup if you have one:
    1. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. Make a backup copy of this folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your contacts are stored.
    3. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Move com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist (if it exists) out of there (e.g. to the Desktop). Check whether the problem is fixed.
    4. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Caches/ and move the Address Book and com.apple.AddressBook folders to the Trash (there is no need to empty the Trash yet). Check whether the problem is fixed.
    5. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Check whether the problem is fixed.
    6. If Address Book keeps crashing, try again trashing both AddressBook.data and any ABPerson.skIndex files that may have been re-created, then rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data.
    7. If Address Book keeps crashing, try moving the entire AddressBook folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/.
    The above procedure may introduce synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices, so be sure to back up your Address Book data now if the problem is fixed.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Unable to check mark whole playlists to play since last update.  ONly allows me to check one at a time.  How do I fix?

    While in MY MUSIC on itunes, all my music is unchecked.  I can not check whole playlists by using the top checkmark to select all.  I went to all my playlists, same thing.  I can only press them ONE at a time, which will take about a day to check all of them. 
    any ideas?  anyone have same problem?  This just happened since last update.

    I exactly have the same problem as this "Unable to check mark whole playlists to play since last update.  ONly allows me to check one at a time.  How do I fix?" I have a windows7. Please help.

  • Many problems since the update - help?

    Hi all,
    Let me start by saying that I am, for all intents and purposes, a huge Apple booster. I have a new 24" iMac. I have an Airport Extreme. I have an iBook G3 I use for travel (I'm a journalist) and recently handed down my old G3 iMac to my son after loading it up with RAM. I extoll Apple products because they are elegant and simple, and a pure pleasure to use.
    Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience with Apple TV since the 2.0 update.
    My problems since the update include:
    1) My Apple TV regularly "hangs" when trying to connect to ATV content. About 50% of the time when I try to play a song or podcast or movie preview -- whatever -- instead of connecting to it, I'll get an "Accessing iTunes Store" message which, after about 30 seconds of the little spinning icon, will inevitably revert to "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again later." I have to "back out" of the submenu (e.g., "Movies" or "Podcasts" or "TV Shows"), and enter another, different submenu before it will connect. I've tried all combinations of Airport settings ( both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz N, mixed b/g/n), and many different channels, but this keeps on happening. I have troubleshot my network connection with my ISP, and have tested the integrity of the line at DSL Reports. The connection and line quality is fine. Connection strength: signal = 54; noise = 92. In other words, decent.
    2) When attempting to play HD Trailers, it is now hit and miss whether or not they will load. Instead of a blue progress bar, my screen goes black for about 15-20 seconds. (During this time, I cannot exit out of the action by pressing 'menu' on my Apple remote; it is effectively unresponsive.) After the 15 seconds or so are up, I get the following message: "Selected content is not available. Format is not recognized" -- or something close to this. After I exit, play an SD trailer, and then hit into the same trailer again, it will often (but not always) work.
    3) Album cover art flips often "stick" when turning, especially when playing songs with long, scrolling titles. (I spent a lot of time on the phone with an Apple TV Product Specialist and, after he replicated the issue, he passed on his findings to the Apple Engineering. It is, I was informed, not high on their list of priorities
    4) Unplugging and then replugging the ATV to reboot causes a small electrical spark. Needless to say, I don't tempt fate by doing this any more, and instead use the "-" and "menu" restart method.
    All in all, a very disappointing experience of late. Very un-Apple.
    By the way, connecting to YouTube videos and Flickr contacts ALWAYS works. No problems at all with any non-Apple site accessed through the ATV. So the problem lies with Apple.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties? I'm at my wit's end with this thing. Never thought I'd be saying that about an Apple product. But I want to try and solve it, so I'm asking for help. If nothing can be done, I'm going to ask Apple to replace it, or return it.
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Trust me you are not alone. Apple's "not high on their list of priorities" response is outrageous.
    That was a paraphrase. The exact words, I'm afraid, I didn't write down. I wish I had, though. It was truly a beautiful example of corporate bafflegab. Something like: "since this only affects the visual aspects of the unit and not its overall performance" -- I told the (very nice) product specialist that the Apple TV was pretty well ALL AND ONLY about visuals. (FWIW, he agreed.) Anyway...

  • IMAC mirroring is not working with my IMAC and Apple TV since last update

    Hi friends,
    since last update I am facing problems with my IMAC and airplay via apple tv to my HD TV screen. It is not working. Only audio but not video. I believe it has something to do with IMAC mirroring, which is not possible to select only expanded desktop. Airply on my TV is working with my IPAD, so it should be a problem with my IMAC only.
    Did someone of You make the same experience or know what to do?
    Thanx in advance

  • Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.

    Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
    Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
    Thanks

    This is my problem that has to originate from the update.  So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook!  Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
    I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc.  When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed.  I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud.  I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files.  Once updated again, I could no longer open pages.  It began, to open and abruptly shut down.

  • Since last update 25/03/12, bank transactions difficulty

    I bank on line with no problems in the pat. Since last update on my iMac 25/03/12, I have been unable to carry out transfer  transactions between my accounts.  With the following System Error notice: " Missin Plan ID in Transfer Details Construct" Pleaseclick BACK then use the browser refresh button to continue. Which did notwork.  Bank rep tells me it is probably as a result of the up dates and I should contact Safari or use internet explorer instead. They say they do not support Safari!  Can any one advise please what I should do?

    Sorry I meant last update performed on 15/03/12! 
    I am running MAC OS X Version 10.6.8 and Safari Version 5.1.4 (6534.54.16).
    The lady at IF bank customer service implied that the problem must be due to the latest update.  She would not put me through to their IT deparment for help as she said they do not provide support for Safari. Intead she suggested go to Safari or Apple for help or we try using Internet Explorer or Firefox to resolve the problem.
    We have been using Safari to do our online banking with IF for years without any difficulty until apparently since the last up date on 15/03/12. Since the bank does not appear to want to help.  Surely the bank IT department and Apple/ Safari are in a better position to resove my difficulty with the updates than asking us novices to to change our browser? I did not even know that is noInternet Explore for Mac.
    May I have some guidance on the best way to proceed please?

    Since last update I do not have a "delete" button showing on a toolbar. Therefore, I cannot delete emails without opening them. Please help.

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.
