Re: Safari 5 Update killed my Mac

This doesn't work for me. I know after I did the software update the same thing happened to me. I have a macbook pro 17". Non of my apple applications are working. (Safari, Xcode, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie... ) the list goes on. I went to the location you told me but I only found a Crash Reporter folder. I found the issue that occurred this morning when opening safari:

Can I undo this until you figure out what happened? I got work to do and this is ridiculous:

I have Windows 7 already loaded on it and the applications run fine. (At least the ones I tested) I noticed I still had the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD so I decided to do a clean wipe and finally update after the system directory failed to restore and the mac wouldn't boot anymore. It looked to have a fresh install of the OSX OS on the DVD, but I can't confirm. I was hopeful, but shortly after I selected the MAC OSX partition and re-ran the install I received a similar "Install Failed" error message stating to contact the manufacturer to resolve the issue. If you're still convinced this is software feel free point me in the right direction. Last I checked if wiping the OS on a system fails, you either have a really bad virus or it's hardware failure. Then again, I could be wrong, you seem to have a better view on this than me, after all I am a noob to the mac world.

MacOS X 10.4.9 Update Killed My Mac!

Today I tried to install the 10.4.9 update.
Something went wrong when installing the update and I got an error message saying that the installation was unsuccessful.
After restart my mac got stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and a wheel spinning forever.
Fortunately I fixed the issue: http://net3x.blogspot.com/2007/03/macos-x-1049-update-killed-my-mac.html

Most likely, you could have avoided this problem if
you had followed Apple’s instructions for properly
installing software updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software
updates
Note that Apple doesn’t mention anywhere the need to
repair permissions either before or after installing
a system update, not even for troubleshooting system
update issues. It’s the disk itself (i.e. the
filesystem) that should be verified/repaired
before installing anything. Note also that no
applications should be running while installing the
update and that you may experience unexpected results
if you have third-party system software modifications
(not normal applications) installed.
I have to call complete and utter BS on this. I have been a mac user for more than 3 years. I have updated the day of almost every major update since 10.3.1 and 10.4.9 is by far the most problem prone thing I have ever seen apple put out. I have never once had a single issue where my mac would not boot after the install of an update. Now I have updated both my MacBook and Intel Mac Mini and both were dead in the water after the install. A different software suite is on both systems, and there is no "intrusive" 3rd party software that should cause any trouble. Thanks to the instructions above I was able to get back on-line and running 10.4.9, but something really needs to be done about these issues.

10.5.6 Update killed my mac, recovery software?

The title says it all. I'm looking for some HFS compatible recovery software. I've been using GetDataBack NTFS and FAT32 for years on PC systems.
I ran the 10.5.6 update on Wednesday night, and right before it was suppose to restart my macbook just turned off. Now it turns itself off everytime I try to boot into OS X. I have bootcamp setup so I've been using XP to get things done. I have Paragon's MacDrive installed on the XP partition and when I went to look at my Macintosh HD it said "This drive is either damaged or corrupted". I connected an external HFS drive to it and XP could read it just fine. Now, I'm pretty sure it's physically ok (since bootcamp works just fine) but I'm really worried about the data being corrupted. I have my first two weeks of notes from school, a partially built website, and some audio projects on the drive. I REALLY need to retrieve that data before I wipe it and reinstall leopard. I have access to a SATA to USB adapter, but I need to know what recovery software I should try.
Any advice?

Hi Blueh1ro,
I'm sorry your first experience of the Discussions was not a good one, usually we do much better here. I can only think that the lack of response was, is, due to the fact that you posted on a Friday night and by the time most Mac users get out on bail Saturday morning your question was too blurry or too far buried down the list already. Also, people responding here generally do so because they think they might actually know the answer. That could tell you something right there. Indeed, I don't know the answer, I just felt good manners warranted a reply of some sort.
And then there are two other things, your subject line and hardware. Subject lines like that come out after every software update. I know, I've posted ones like that myself before I was beat over the head a few times. At least you've been spared the beating. The real veterans, the ones whose advice you really need, get tired of replying to subjects like that because what they say is always the same, "Well, you backed up your system before you updated, right? Just use that to get back to where you were before". When they hear, over and over, that people don't have back ups, or, now, are not using Time Machine, their eyes glaze over and they go back to bed for the day.
And lastly, your hardware, though this should be the least of the reasons. You're using an intel MacBook. Many here are using regular desktop towers and many of those are still G4s and G5s. The latter of those people you lose right away when they begin reading of bootcamp and xp. And in addition there are special Discussion pages for MacBook users only: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/
Now you said you wanted recovery software, but what you really want is recovery software that fixes directories and such before recovering it or ideally you just want something that will fix the disks directory as it lies. Well, here's where I'm not on solid ground at all but I've pushed your topic up so others can have a look see again and comment. Diskwarrior is excellent, but I'm not sure it can fix an OS upgrade gone awry. And I'm not sure also that boot problems mean your data is corrupt. I would just try to get it off of there on another disk and see what's there. That's probably ignorant in my thinking though, hopefully others will chime in. Good luck.

HT6114 Why has the 10.9.2 update killed my mac it loads up but then freezes trying to do anything!!!!!

Well after doing the 10.9.2 update last night my mac is now a piece of scrap. I can't get anything off it. It loads then freezes on trying to do anything can't even turn it off properly and was fine before!!!!

...safe mode as that is the only way it lets me do anything but even then it kept crashing and I had to try twice to get to App Store.
That's what I wanted to know. If it works in safe mode, which is what I asked, you have third-party software that is causing your problems. However, it doesn't look like it is fully defeated in safe mode, or something is damaged in the OS.
Uninstall everything you have the installs a startup item, launch daemon, or launch agent, or extension. If all works ok, install them one at a time. When it crashes, you've found the culprit.
EDIT: You may need to erase the drive and reinstall. You could likely restore your user data from your backup, but don't reinstall any utilities until you are ready to troubleshoot each one. Don't ever install anything that purports to clean, optimize, speed up, protect, or otherwise maintain your Mac. Those are the things that tend to cause the most problems.

Software update killed my Mac!

I was prompted to do a software update, and I installed itunes 7.02, some java stuff and I think a backup. I don't remember exactly what it was.
Anyway,
After update I needed to restart my computer. Now when it starts up it goes up through the start up, through the blue screen where the bar scrolls through. And then when it should show my desktop....nothing.
I have a cursor arrow, but nothing to point to. Just a blue screen.
What happened? How do I fix this?

It is a good idea to start Disk Utility and repair disk permissions, verify the disk, and make a backup copy of your boot drive before you install any OS or software updates.
Chances are, this problem is a coincidence though. Can you boot off the disc that came with your Mac? If so, try running the repair disk feature in Disk Utility to see if that fixes the problem.

Security Update killed my mac??

Ok, I ran the update last night that was pushed down, which include a security update I believe. Afterwards, it took many times to get my Mac to even boot up and then Mail would not work, just kept closing and my sound for everything is gone.
I went thru the forums and resurrected my Mail, but my sound is still gone. I have tried all the basic stuff, like mute, power, check cords, etc.
Anyone run into this issue or just know how to fix it?
Please make my screen flash if you respond, since I won't hear you otherwise (gotta keep some humor right?)
Thanks in advance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for the star
There's no harm in verifying the disk with Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) or repairing permissions before doing the update, make sure you repair permissions after it though. Make sure you do the v1.1 Combo Update, here's the link:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10410comboupdat ev11intel.html (presuming you're Intel)
What about System Preferences>Sound, anything in there that could be the problem?

Mooing update killed my mac!?!?!??!?!!??!??!?!?!?!?!?!

Hi all!
I am "%"+/ annoyed right now...just got my macbook 2.0 Ghz back from service (discoloration fix and a new motherboard) and its already died on me. I suspect it may have something to do with the new motherboard, because I noticed that annyoing mooing noise I'd read about but luckily never encountered. I did a quick search and installed this:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbooksmcfirmwareupdate.html
Now the computer won't start up. Gives the TaDa sound and the screen stays grey, no apple, nothing. I've tried starting up with the osx dvd in it, but nothing. Please help before I go crazy and give it to my dog to play with.

If you really have given up hope of restoring any data on the drive the best thing to do is completely erase the drive and start the install again.
To ensure you have erased completely boot from the install CD, then using the menu options (at the top of the screen) run Disk Utility, click on the Erase tab, then on Security options. Zero all data.
Now try the install again, if you can from a Tiger install disk rather than a grey disk.
Hope this helps

Safari question here... Can I purchase a browser update for my mac book? I have OSX 10.6.8 and the "update softdate" function won't let me get past Safari 5.1.10. Please tell me I don't need a new computer just yet... Thx!!

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

4.0.3 update killed my Safari

I did the download on the Safari 4 update 4.0.3 and now Safari won't even open. It will only open about half way then go no further. If I do a force quit it tells me Safari (not responding) so that I have to make it stop or it simply keeps spinning the wheels.
What gives?
After the update I shut down, restarted then did a Disk Utility permissions, shut down, restarted and now this. I should have know NOT to do the update as the last one took forever to get things working.
How can I get Safari 3 back?
PS...Using Camino to even post this.

I had the same problem with the same error message, I think it's the 3rd party plug-in Safari Adblock that was causing my problem.
I followed the instructions on Apple Support about what to do if Safari won't launch to diagnose the problem. I have now got it working. Here is the link to the article "Mac OS X 10.5: What you can do if Safari quits unexpectedly" at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594 .
First I tried moving the files in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins without success, however when I tried moving the files in /Library/Input Managers I got Safari working again. I had 1Password, Glims and Safari Ad Block folders in there. I have added back the 1Password and Glims folder so it looks like it's the Safari AdBlock Input Manager that is causing the problem. I haven't added it back in yet to confirm it's the offending Input Manager.

Updating Safari to 2.0 with Mac OS X 10.3.9

I use Mac OS X 10.3.9. I would like to upgrade Safari to the 2.0 version, but I can't because I don't have Tiger. Is it possible to update Safari without updating my operating system? I can't view some webpages because they don't support this version of Safari only the newer version. I am using Safari version 1.3.2. Thanks!

Safari 2.x is only available for OS X 10.4.x, so if you wanted or needed it you would have to upgrade your OS. If you want or need an alternate or backup browser, you could try either Firefox or Camino.

Updating your older Mac Pro for a few more years of good use...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my tips for getting your aging Mac Pro running better for Mavericks and the FCPX 10.1.
Please note your Mac Pro's specs before doing what did..I am an editor and use the 3 big A's to get my work done. Adobe, Apple, Avid (not so much Avid)
I got a great deal on it for only $1300. I did a bunch of research and decided my upgrade options were best for my machine and the way I use it so your upgrade options my differ slightly. (do your research!!!)
I have 2009 Nehelem Mac Pro 2x 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. Installed was 6GBs of factory RAM, an upgraded ATI 512 GPU, and 1, 1TB WD Black system drive. (this was a nice upgrade compared to my 4 core Mac Pro)
I was running 10.8 and all my apps were installed and running. I installed 3 more 7200rpm drives to fill the drive bays. Momentus XT's 2TB each.
(I upgraded to Mavericks, as you know it overwirtes the old OS, I wanted the new FCPX...) more on this later.
1- RAM,
I removed the puny 6GBs of RAM it came with and installed 32GBs of 1066 Mhz DDR3 from OWC. I decided 32 would be enough for my needs looking into the App requirments and of course the cost. I noticed a slight difference in some performance. (to my dissapointment) fcpx beachballs!!
However now you will have more RAM to allocate RAM for programs that can read it. After Effects anyone...
link- http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1066-memory
2-GPU,
I had a 5770 sitting in the closet, and put that in and bascilly it sucked! I never like the 5770. fcpx beachballs!!
I contacted apple they informed me FCPX is written for GPUs and that a large card (while they didnt suppport it at the time) would be the best upgrade to better performance. So I installed the AMD Sappire 7950 3GB GPU from OWC. This is a monster card! and right away I noticed a huge difference in the perfromace of FCPX and AE! Not only that but the card supports up to 2K I believe... and is a great price... and for you gear heads it looks bad *** and the fan is super quiet!
less fcpx beachballs
link-http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sapphire/100352MAC/
3- Hardrive,
Ok so now I'm thinking my machine is a beast! I have all this RAM and a huge GPU and the top ESATA drives you can buy, butI was still getting beachballs and FCPX was painfully slow at times..needless to say I felt Apple backing my in a corner to drink more coolaid a get the new small round black can...What to do???
As I mentioned before I did not do a clean install....Most folks dont like going through the pain of 2 days to do a clean install but I knew deep down it would have ot be done. Before I did that I decided to do some research on those new SSD cards everyone is raging about. Remeber your Mac Pro's bus speed is only so big...remember this when doing this last and most important upgrade!!
The market has all kinds of SSD drives for sale and OWC has a PCIe option (too much money for me) they have 3G drives 6G drives and so on. I could be wrong but buying a more expensive 6G card is a waste of money with bus speed of the Nehelem (this my differ with Westmere) I bought an of the self Kingston Hyper X 120GB (get at least 240GB if you can) and the OWC Mac Pro Drive Sled.
This by far was the best upgrade! Before installation please go through the pain of the clean install...For Mavericks you need to create a bootable drive on a USB stick first. You then need to monut SSD in an empty enclosure in order to get it to mount for the OS to be installed

PCIe Expansions
H.264 Encoding-
Matrox Compress HD PCIe card, This card is amazing however it does not support Compressor 4.1 but it does support legecy Compressor 3 and I did successfully install both Apps in Mavericks. (You must hide legecy versions in a folder in applications)
ESATA CARD- 4 Port 6G Caldigit esata card.
USB 3.0- Newertech 2 port USB3.0 Mac Pro Card. I dont recommend buying this card. Mac Pro Nehelem, was not made for USB3.0 and the drives I plug into it rarely mount...if ever mount... restart...when they do its a little faster than firewire and close to my Esata options. Dont bother....
I have setup my drive structure as follow.
Drive Bay 1 All System Apps run on the SSD drive.
Drive bay 2 hold the contents of all the Media for my projects.
Drive bay 3 hold all the AutoSaves and the FCPX Libaries and daily Project backups and renders.
Drive bay 4 Is Special Effects drive.
Dual Samsung 27 inch HD displays
M_Audio Monitors
1-3TB Caldigit RAID
12-TBs of drives attached to every port on the back.
2_USB docking ports voyager s3 for archive drives.
Now that I have all these upgrades, a clean install, fresh updates to my softwares, my Mac Pro runs better that ever! My boot ups time is twice as fast as before and my OS is very snappy...Oh yeah FCPX, After Effects, Boris RED, Mail, Safari all open at the same time a running brilliantly!
Many of us are not ready to upgrade to the new Mac Pro, and as we all know the legecy Mac Pro was built like a tank with military grade proccessors and endless upgrade options. It wont ever be as fast as that new black can but I know I will be working faster with my trusty Mac!
Good luck!

IMac Early 2011 - 10.6.7 update kills system

I've read similar threads, but here is my more specific issue, the 10.6.7 update complete screws up a brand new iMac running 10.6.6
Brand new 2011 21.5" 2.7Ghz iMac running 10.6.6 from the box, just opened and set-up for first time and ran software update chosing the 10.6.7 update and a couple of others which are suggested (Safari, iTunes etc).
Download updates, then after requesting a restart the system just hangs with the spinning beachball (doesn't restart, stays on desktop background forever).
Force power off and restart. System won't boot, hangs at the Apple logo screen. A safe boot again hangs at similar point (even waited 60 mins in one case just to make sure, but no disk activity can be heard), verbose boot shows the last successful item is: "[ffffff800c78300][AppleMultitouchDevice::start] entered" which isn't that helpful to me...
Boot to Install DVD (mouse and keyboard work fine), HD verifies ok, repaired permissions (only faults appear in Library > Updates), try to reboot, again still hangs. Tried every trick I know, but now going to attempt a reinstall from scratch, half a day wasted so far...
Very unimpressed that a recommended system update can brick a brand new Mac.
So is the 10.6.7 update officially faulty on these new iMacs, if I download the update package from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1383 (specific to early 2011 iMac, rather than combo updater), will it still fail? I don't want to waste yet more time on re-installs, unless I can bill Apple my hourly rate

Actually in the first 3 months your Apple service is free. Call AppleCare.
>"[ffffff800c78300][AppleMultitouchDevice::start] entered"
A mouse or trackpad that is faulty could yield errors with that. It would be interesting to see if you can remove all but the Apple keyboard from the equation and it boot. If it does, then your input device is faulty, not the entire machine, or the update.
Some iMacs of that age got a graphics update, but not sure if it applies to you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1389
No operating system update can kill a Mac. The Mac may already have something else marginal about it that needs fixing. Also is your data backed up?

Mail, Safari, Software Update all quitting

Was previously having no problem with my Mac or any of these applications but since I installed SAFARI 3.1.1 THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS.
1. When i try to open safari immediately a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
2. On trying to open MSN a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
3. When trying to open mail it will open for about 2 seconds, enough for me to see the mailboxes but when it tries to access and check for new mail it quits. Again no amount of retrying makes any difference.
I can check my .mac account using Firefox but what is really killing me here is that I cannot access my business pop account via mail.+ all the settings for my pop account are stored in an email, in mail, which I cannot open.
I have run Tech tool, Disk utility, checked file permissions, dumped the application preferences, reset the pram and all to no avail. Have Apple really messed up with this Safari update? Can it be causing problems in other applications which need to access servers over the internet as well? Really really need some help here. Why do I suspect Safari it is the only thing that has been installed on my machine for months apart from the recent firmware update.
Just have to add this now. Just tried opening "software update" and it quit as the others. Maddening!
Really really need some help here.
Thanks
Thanks

OK
so now Dictionary is quitting as well, same as the others. Does it connect to the internet or share any components with Safari or Mail (spell checking?). I desperation I tried searching with Sherlock. Guess what? It quits as it tries to open.
Also just tried to update my entourage. The installer wont work either. Quits like the others
The list of broken applications now is is.
Mail
Safari
Software Update
iweb
Garageband
iMovie
iPhoto
.mac preferences
Application installers
Dictionary
Sherlock
Microsoft update
MSN
I am tempted to go through all my applications (i checked a few!) and utilities and see how much of Apple's software is actually still working since I updated Safari.
This is desperate. Am I alone out there?
