Programs hang after 10.3.9 how do i go back?

i updated to 10.3.9 from 10.3.5 and now quicktime, reason, itunes and probly others wont open at all...i repaired perms and restarted i dont know what else to do. with the software update i installed the quicktime so it should be the corresponding version with my os.
what should i do? how do i go back to 10.3.5?

kindkind1:
Let's start with Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Many programs hanging after computer wakes up from sleep

Hi!
Since teh upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) I experience many hang-ups / freezes on a variety of programs. I have traved this to I think only happenening after the MacBook has been sleeping. So put to sleep, wake up again, and at least the following froze (all have latest updates installed):
- Photoshop CS4 (hangs on welcome screen saying "Measuring Memory")
- Adobe InDesign CS4 (starts, becomes sluggish, and hangs when opening files or latest when trying to close requiring force quit; then doesn't start again)
- Adobe Illustrator CS4 (opens but freezes when trying to open a file)
- iTunes (never comes up, just keeps bouncing in the dock until the cows come home)
- Aperture 2.1.4 (shows splash screen and hangs then)
All work well after a fresh boot.
However, when I then try to restart the machine, it hangs before rebooting (my desktop background is still there, all other things gone, such as dock, menu bar etc). I have to switch it off the hard way (power button 5 sec or so) and restart. Then all works well until next sleep.
If anyone has ideas how to get around this I'd love to hear the answer. If you carry the MacBook around a lot, always rebooting makes it feel worse than Windows...
Cheers,
Hendrik

Similar sort of problem. iPhone will not wake my iMac from screen save using iPhone "Remote" and when I wake my iMac manually, iTunes reports that it cannot connect to my Airport Express, which I use a remote music player. If I go into the speakers pull down at the bottom right of the iTunes screen, I can immediately reconnect to the Airport Express by manually clicking to change it from "Computer". Both the Time Capsule which sends the wireless signal to the Airport Express and the Airport Express itself are showing green lights. The Time Capsule is connected wired to my my iMac. This system all worked well on 10.5.8. I had expected it to be better in Snow Leopard with remote wake from sleep. I am also getting various random hangs after updating to 10.6.1 and HP drivers 2.1. Syslog shows this often to be TWAIN related or HP printers. Not good at the moment. Spoke to Applecare yesterday and they had no constructive suggestions other than to reformat my hard disc and start from scratch - yea right. I have reinstalled SL and reupdated with no improvement.

[1.1.2.25.79] Program hangs after starting long runnin SQL with parameters

Hello Forum,
I'm currently tuning some SQLs with parameters that run some minutes. When I enter the SQL in the worksheet and press F9, SQL Developer asks for the parameters. But after clicking "Apply" (or whatever it is called in the english version, I'm using german ;-)
I get the elapsed time of 0.018 seconds displayed and the whole program hangs until the SQL is completed. The elapsed time is not updated so I don't get the real elapsed time.
I run SQL Developer against an Oracle 9.2 Database on Win2k. The client runs WinXP.
I hope this is not a double post but searching the forum for "parameters" gave too many hits to check. ;-)
Regards,
dhalek

Sqldev hangs when issuing an action that requires the previous action to be completed first.
Sqldev could open a new connection for this, or at least display a message telling the action isn't possible until the previous one completes, instead of just hanging. Vote for the requests for this on the SQL Developer Exchange if you want this getting addressed sooner.
Thanks,
K.

Recently, I updated to Firefox 4.0.1, and the new version disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox, because the new version (4.0.1 I think) that I downloaded disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus program, because they were incompatible with the new version of Firefox. How do I get back to the previous version of Firefox and re-enable the disabled programs?

* [/questions/777886]
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

This programs hangs after printing two lines. How can i correct it?

public class ThreadTest {
     static class FirstThread implements Runnable {
          public synchronized void run() {
               try {
                    wait();
               } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
               System.out.println("First thread starts");
               System.out.println("First thread ends");
     static class SecondThread implements Runnable {
          public synchronized void run() {
               System.out.println("Second thread starts");
               System.out.println("Second thread ends");
               notifyAll();
     public static void main(String[] args){
          Thread t1 = new Thread(new FirstThread());
          Thread t2 = new Thread(new SecondThread());
          t1.start();
          t2.start();
          try {
               t1.join();
          } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
It is giving output as :
Second thread starts
Second thread ends

Your two synchronizations should be on a same object for the wait/notify pair to be working. The object should be the one on which both wait and notify are called.

ITunes and other programs hang after starting...

Hello everyone,
Programs effected:
iPhoto
Adobe Acrobat
iTunes (Only when I open the iTunes Store)
Problem:
After about a minute, the program will hang and become unresponsive (pinwheel) but will not crash. I have to shutdown the program manually. The program will cause my CPU to max out until I force-quit it.
Any ideas for further diagnosis?
Thanks,
Jared

Nevermind! I rebooted my iPod and my computer recognized it! Whew!

HI SkyBristol and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this... locate the Microsoft Office and Adobe CS preference files.
com.microsoftoffice.plist com.adobecs.plist
That may not be the exact way the preference file reads but it's close.
Here's where you can find them: MacintoshHD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, drag those files to the Trash.
Reboot... and don't worry about trashing preference folders, your Mac will create new files for you. You will have to reset your Preferences in those applications. (Preference files can become corrupted).
Also, run Disk Utility located here: Applications/Utilities and Repair Disk Permissions.
I hope this helps,
Carolyn

Program hangs after sometime

Hello guys,
I've been stuck in a problem,
I'm taking input from the mic port of the pc, it runs perfectly,
but if i leave it for some time and then change any of the parameter or the page (i'm using tab control)
then the input to the signal does not come.
I,m taking RMS of the value, so it displays NaN (Not a Number).
What can be the possible solution for it
Pls let me know if you get it.
thanks in advance.
Reagrds,
Shrek

Hi Shrek,
If it stops from getting values if you switch tab. It's maybe something in your code or on the structures you're using.
It will be probably easier if you post your code. Without it, i dunno if you will get a better answer.

You can't. Apple doesn't approve of downgrading iOS.

My iPhone 3G is Extremely slow after OS4 Update. How do I go back?

Is there a way to go back to the orginal version before I updated to OS4. I want my old iphone back, this is nonsense. Why release an update that slows the phone down to the point it's unusable?
Does anyone have the same issue? If so, what did you do about it? Did anyone try and go to the apple store? What was their result? I was thinkign of going there today, but I will probably just be turned around without an appointment at the 'genius bar'.

Found this article, http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2010/07/tipspeed_up_your_older_iphone_3g_running_ios_41.html, which linked to this Lifehacker item, http://lifehacker.com/5599406/ which calls for disabling Spotlight. I did, and my phone is much snappier. Happy once again.

Database hangs after retrieving some records....

hi,
I create a two level B+-tree index, for the first level i'm using key as logical database name, for the second level B+-tree i'm using some other field in my data. I am retrieving the records based on logical database name. I am using C++ to implement my index.
In the following code i'm retrieving records from database. Program is behaving differently for different logical database names. For example in my database i have around 4 lakhs records with logical database name 'A' and around 1 lakh of records with logical database name 'B'. The following code displays all B records but programs hangs after retrieving some A records.
I'm using PAGE_SIZE=8192, numBuffers=2048, and runnig in Fedora Core3.
DbEnv myEnv(0);
 myEnv.set_cachesize(0, PAGE_SIZE * numBuffers, 0);
 myEnv.set_data_dir("/home/raviov/new/database");
 try {
 myEnv.open("./", DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_MPOOL, 0);
 catch (DbException &e) {
 cerr << "Exception occurred: " << e.what() << endl;
 exit(1);
 db=new Db(&myEnv,0);
 db->set_pagesize(PAGE_SIZE);
 db->set_bt_compare(compare_int);
 dbname=itoa(p);
 try
 db->open(NULL,
 "treedb.db",
 dbname,

If the contacts were stored on icloud, then be sure the device is connected to icloud (Settings>icloud) and also that contacts are turned on (on the same screen in settings).

Programs hang after 10.3.9 how do i go back?
