Problem after 10.4.9 upgrade: Autologin is done as "system administrator"

Hi,
after I installed 10.4.9 I have a strange bug:
Every time after start up I'm logged in as "System Administrator". The Dock and pretferences are my own, but the Finder ist started as System administrator. Meaning my home folder is "root" and my desktop is completely empty.
I have to log out and log in again to completely get my profile.
Any suggestions how I can solve that problem?
Is Apple aware of such a bug?
Greetings
Christoph

Thanks for the hints! Sadly both did not work here.
What I figured out so far is that the main Problem is taht the "Finder" is started as "root". Meaning even if autologin is off the Finder as root is comming up.
Even if I use Autologin I don't have to logout any more I can simply kill the Finder after startup.
But what is causing the Finder to start as root even before a suer is logged in?
Greetings
Christoph

Timeouts and connection problems after 5.1(2) upgrade

AIM/chat and some other programs are having timeout/connection problems after upgrade to 5.1(2). I am using S241 also. The connection problems stopped when the IPS was set to bypass. Rebuilt IPS and left sigs at default settings and problem is still happening. I am not seeing any of the IPs that are having the problem in the Event Viewer or on the Events in the IDM.
Any known issues with the 5.1(2) that would cause this type of problem?

I don't know specifically, but I did notice that 5.1(3) was released today.

Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
    1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated! Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
    2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
2. In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox. That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
1. press the microphone.
2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this: 123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
4. press the microphone
   5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

Hey Markwoody,
Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
How to reset
- You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
- To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Thanks,

Problems After Win 8.1 Upgrade - Two Additional Partitions Both With Same Volume Serial Number?

An update from Win 8 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro has occurred automatically on one of my machines.
Prior to the upgrade (from memory) the machine had an OEM Partition (40MB), EFI System Partition (500MB), Recovery Partition (8.17GB) and OS (C:) partition. Only the latter was visible in Computer.
After the 8.1 upgrade there are two additional partitions, Recovery (500MB) and Recovery (450MB). All the partitions are now displayed in This PC as drives except the 40MB OEM Partition.
When viewed in This PC both the two new drives (that appear to equate to the new partitions) show as 499MB each with the same amount of free space. In Disk Management the first new partition is shown as 500MB and the second as 450MB.
I have SugarSync installed on this machine and since the upgrade it is displaying an error telling me it won't work because the two new drives have the same Volume Serial Numbers.
Clearly something has gone wrong with the upgrade:
Is there any way to resolve the Volume Serial Number conflict?
Is there any way to stop all these drives appearing in This PC?
Do I need the two new partitions and if not how can I get rid of them?

There is a fourth path to upgrading to Windows 8.1 provided by Microsoft. Microsoft have been displaying automated reminders from time to time on Windows 8 computers that Windows 8.1 update is available to download - from these reminders it is possible to
choose either Install or Not Now. Just recently these reminders have changed, they are instead notifying the user that the Windows 8.1 Update will be installed automatically or the user has options to postpone the installation for 1hr, 2hrs, etc. The
user of this computer tells me she went away from the machine and Windows 8.1 update installed automatically from one of these prompts.
I have seen these installation prompts on several of my customer's computers and they are not malware related (I deal with malware removal every day and would recognise this). However, I have scanned this computer with Bit Defender and MalwareBytes and there
are no infections present.
The only difference between this Windows 8.1 Update and the others that I have carried out is that it wasn't controlled and therefore I wasn't able to disable the security software (Bit Defender Internet Security 2015). This may be the cause of the problem.
I've uploaded the two screenshots you asked for - the two new drives are W: and Z: and SugarSync is reporting that they have the same Volume Serial Numbers. Note: X: and Y: were not visible prior to the upgrade.
There are two Windows Update logs at C:\Windows\ so I will upload both.

8350i Sprint-Nextel problems after OS 5.0 upgrade

1. Keyboard lock icon gone. Function now works via "MUTE" key.
2. Some application shortcuts no longer work ("protocol not supported - type in a different url" is the message). Unresolved - no solution found.
3. No matter what notifier or downloaded song I pick as the SMS or MMS message alert, alert rings as "notifier-crystal" even though something else appears on the ring tone line. Unresolved - no solution found.
4. Text message problem (before and after upgrade) - MMS/SMS messages not being received (intermittent). Only way I know its happening is if I try to send a text and get a red "x" or friends call me and ask why I haven't responded to their texts. Simple solution - turn unit off then on (battery pull not needed). Then text messages start pouring in. Work OK for a while then they stop again. Tech assistance did some over-the-air resets and made me change/verify some settings. Did not work. I find myself turning phone off and on several times daily as a band-aid solution. Sometimes occurs with emails too. Very annoying.

Welcome to the forums
OS 5.0 isn't official yet so you may face bugs/issues with it. Other than that, I can suggest a battery pull and resending your service books from the BIS site.
Cheers,
Kijana

Problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade.

Hello everyone, hope you are all well.
Could use some help to restore my 2G Touch after upgrading it to 4.2 the other day. During the upgrade, all it`s music and all the app`s were lost, but after re-synching only the music and the original factory app`s returned. None of my downloaded app`s ( paid for and free )returned.
Several e-mails to Apple support and trying their fixes have not solved the problem.
Any idea`s?. Cheers, Pete.

After you re-download any App, you probably need to turn the check-mark (for Syncing) back on for each of those Apps.
Connect iPod and while it is Syncing, look on Device/Apps and after making sure *Sync Apps* is ticked on, look at each individual app on the list below the *Sync Apps* box and make sure they all have a tick in their box.
By the time you've made any changes here, the Sync may have gone past Apps or even finished completely, so you need to Sync or Apply after your change.

Start up problems after 10.6.2 upgrade

After upgrading to 10.6.2 my computer restarted and hung up on a circle with a line through it. I restarted, the same. i reinstalled Snow Leopard and can now run normally. I ran Disk Utility and it said everything was fine.
I want to keep my iBook Pro running up to date software, but I want to solve this first. According to a document on the support website, the circle with a slash through it means, "could not load boot.efi, or some other issue" and I have no idea what that means or what to do about it.
Thoughts?

That's a little helpful. Thanks. I did use Disk Warrior a couple of years ago but stopped when it stopped launching, giving me some error code I couldn't decipher.
Now what do I need to do about? Will the problem reoccur if I try to upgrade again?

Font problems after 10.6.2 upgrade

Hello!
Just after upgrading to 10.6.2, al the iwork documents (Pages and Keynote) that use Time New Roman (originally Office documents) are unreadable due to a kerning problem that affects only this font (that I know of).
Did somebody had the same problem and have the fix? I already removed the duplicate fonts. Thanks.
Message was edited by: ddoneda

I migrated several Word files over to Pages recently. The only warning I got was with Times New Roman in one file which was odd as all the files use the Times New Roman (TrueType font). Once the files were open I changed all the text to Pages Helvetica without any problems (I use Word (Office 2007) under Windows and Word (2004) for Mac OS for documents with bibliographies). My initial problem with Pages was due to Hoefler font which was resolved when I trashed it.

Clock problems after IOS 4.2 upgrade

We have 2 Iphone 4 at home, each connected to a different computer ( 1 Mac, 1 PC ).
After the upgrade to IOS 4.2 both have a problem with the clock. When the phone is put on "update clock automatically" ,the following happens (We live in Belgium)
-Phone 1 switches to summer time as soon as a connection with the provider is made. If you go to fly mode, or put the clock on manual, the correct time is displayed. This occurs wherever you are so it is not linked to the information provided by the cell tower. After a hard reset and restore, this problem was solved.
-Phone 2 is even stranger. I was in NYC a few weeks ago and set the clock manually on EST. Back in Belgium everything worked fine until after the upgrade. Now the clock will go to EST overnight, ie when I wake up in the morning at 7 AM, it is suddenly 2 AM in the morning. Here, if you go to manual setting of the clock, then switch back to automatic setting, it works fine again.... until the next morning ! And I don't switch off the phone at night
I guess a hard reboot + restore will be needed as well.
Anybody else came across this problem ?

Since 2 days I have the same problem with my Iphone.
I also live in Belgium and my phone was all of a sudden 1 hour ahead of our local time. I modified the clock settings to manual and then the time switched back correctly. Today somewhere between 8 and 11 AM I noticed the clock was 1 hour ahead again. I adjusted the clock settings to manual again and the clock is correct again. How come this is happening ?
It all started since my upgrade to version 4.2.1.
Can someone please take a look at this ? For the record I use the 3 GS 16 GB version. My provider is Proximus.
Seems my favorite Apple is starting to look a lot like Microsoft since this is the second major time/clock bug in a few weeks.

Miix 10 - Graphics, sound and general performance problems after Windows 8.1 upgrade

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8 (tablet Lenovo Miix 10) and I encountered the following problems:
1. It wasn't possible to install an update of Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver through Windows Update. This update was "available" until I downloaded the new chipset drivers from Lenovo support.
2. Some times after returning from standby, It displays the message that the graphics card had crashed.
3. I have encountered several problems in these applications:
a) Twitter: When I scroll up and down my timeline the flow is not smooth. When I stop the scrolling to see a tweet the display does not stop, but it does a small "jump" in the direction that I was scolling before It returns to the point that I had stopped scrolling.
b) Fresh Paint: It is impossible to draw something. I cannot describe the problem, but it is exactly what happened also to this guy: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-winapps/fresh-paint-81-unusable-and-bloc...
c) In Solitaire I encountered the same problems with this guy: http://forums.xbox.com/gfw/xbox_on_windows/l-o/f/3066/t/1467072.aspx
3. In general, after the Windows 8.1 update the feeling I get when I use my tablet is that it has become more slow and unresponsive.
What is the cause of these problems? Will they be solved after the release of new drivers and when?

Hi
the GFX issue can be resolved with this post,
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Miix-10-quot-Display-Driver-stopped-respo...
the other issues ive not experienced!
i felt my tablet was very stable and fast, bar the GFx problem, (bearing in mind its a Atom)
id advise removing any apps you dont require,
doing a C Drive Clean up, (right click C drive,properties, disk clean up, then system disk clean up.)
then also doing a Defrag button in tools (it wont Defrag as its SSD, but it will TRIM the disk, (its done weekly by default anyway..)

DVD Player problem after 10.4.7 upgrade

I don't know if I posted this to the right forum so I'll repost it here. Sorry for the repeat. Compared to others on this forum my problem seems trivial but it is still somewhat annoying. After installing 10.4.7 upgrade combo I can no longer use Apple's DVD player app. The app launches and recognizes DVDs but cannot make it through the title before it hangs. It responds to eject and quit. It informs me that skipping to the next chapter is not permitted and it does not crash. I have tried: dumping the prefs, fixing permissions, and re-running the updater. On the same machine if I reboot onto the other drive with 10.3.9 the DVD player (V 4.0 vs V 4.6.5) works as advertised. Any ideas?
TIA
Dave

I HATE FM! OK so I found the problem. I posted and got some ideas. I downloadsd Pacifist and re-installed DVD Player. (one version back 4.5 v 4.6.5) I removed all power from the machine for 10-15 minutes. The problem was still there. After giving up in disgust I left the computer alone for a day. This morning I figure I'll check out a DVD I just made using VLC. (afterall it still worked) So I stick the disk into the drive and DVD Player launches and I'm waiting for it to freeze and....@#% #@*& @#* *# % #*&^@! It works just fine! So I stick in the comercial DVD I had been testing with and its all better now. BUT I DON"T KNOW WHY!
Sorry for the rant.
Thanks for all your kind help.

Spotlight problem after Tiger to Leopard Upgrade

Since I upgraded my Macbook Pro 15" from Tiger to Leopard, Spotlight never worked. Initially I didn't mind too much but now I want to get it work.
I tried all suggestions I found in this forum (see list below) to no avail.
It seems Mac OS cannot index the system disk.
Any Terminal command like mdutil or mdimport have no effect and return no info. As a check, I ran the same utilities on my iMac (same Leopard version, but native) and they do in fact work as expected, as well as Spotlight. Another example: mdfind works on my iMac but return nothing on my MBP.
If I try the regular way, when I write my search string in the Spotlight window I just get nothing on my MBP.
I tried the OnyX features for Spotlight:
- Maintenance/Rebuild/Spotlight Index seems to do something, but in fact it does nothing useful
- Parameters/Spotlight/Options: Enable Indexing the Startup-Disk makes an attempt to enable it and switches immediately back to disabled. No way to keep the option checked. Also removed the Font cache from OnyX as suggested in some post - null.
Some attempts I made:
- used Disk Utility to check the disk (no repair needed)
- used Disk Utility to repair permissions: there are many that are always repaired... this makes me feel the problem might in fact be in the permission area. But after many repair the result is always null.
- added the start-up disk to the Privacy area in Spotlight Prefs, and later on removed - null
- trashed com.apple.spotlight.plist pref user prefs - a new one was created but no effect
- removed /.Spotlight-V100 from terminal - a new one was created but no effect
- used mdutil -E and -i on and off - I always get the message "/: Indexing and searching disabled"
- mdimport -L or -A or -X return nothing (on my iMac they return the list of plugins, schema etc.)
- rebooted many times also in safe mode - null
- the problem exists also for the other user on the same MBP
- tried OnyX as described above.
No effect!!
Now my question is: what can I try next ?
I'm sure there is some parameter somewhere (some .plist ?) that can re-enable Spotlight. But which one and where ?
Thanks in advance
Piero

Take a look at Spotless
http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot2/index.php
It deals mainly with Spotlight indexes, but it also contains some diagnostics - its description includes the following:
Spotless will automatically find and delete the "mds-crash-state" file from selected volumes. The file may be created if the Metadata Server crashed or was unexpectedly closed during the indexing process. The presence of this file can prevent Spotlight from indexing the volume in the future.
Spotless allows you to see exact size of the index directory on each volume.
Spotless also includes an on/off switch for Spotlight.
