Informations at boot appear and everything is ok. When shutting down I get a flickering screen, LCD backlight ist constantly turned off and on until the machine shuts down. Same thing if X is started and I am switching to VC1 - screen flickers. Weird thing is: if I switch from X to VC1 the screen flickers, then I switch back to X and again to VC1, now it is gone. I also can see shutdown messages again when shutting down....
It might because I have KMS enabled, so when shutting down it's not flickering, but it's a constantly black screen with an unmovable mouse pointer. I've searched around and didn't find a similar report regarding this problem, maybe we should issue a bug report?
Ok, why not. Never issued a bug report before....:)
Is there any information I can give you for this? I have a Thinkpad SL500, running Arch64...
Do you have the same problems when switching from X to VC1?

Recent Software Update Problem ...

I just finished updating the software for my iBook G4. When the Updater was finished, I couldn't restart! I tried chosing Restart several times, and also Shut Down, but neither function would work.
So, I connect my new external HD, but it didn't show up on the desktop. So I had to press the Power button to shut down, then again to restart.
I don't recall ever seeing this happen before. Is this a bug in the most recent Tiger update?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions. (Well, the Installer actually uses superuser Permissions to do it's work, but after reboot it doesn't guarantee communication with other existing needed files Permissions.)
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

10.4.7 Intel Update Problems (Apperntly different that the others)

I tried to run the update from Software Update and it didn't work.
After downloading everything it gave me an Error Message saying:
Error Reading Package
There was an error while evaluating JavaScript for the package
So I tried the Combo as some peole suggested in other threads, and it gave me the same error. I gave Disc Utility a try ad it said it needed some repairs, but the repair button was grayed-out.
So I restarted the Mac and now I can't launch Safari and Preview is also giving me an Error saying:
You cannot use the application "Preview" with this version of Mac OS X.
I checked for the version of Mac OS X at "About This Mac"
and it only says my serial number. The version number and the build number of the OS are gone.
How can i fix this?
iMac (Intel CoreDuo) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Did you re-run the Combo Updater? If so then it's likely that something got corrupted either before you did the original update or during it. Some things you might try:
Drag the following files to the trash:
com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
com.apple.loginwindow.plist (a file in /Library/Preferences/)
Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
You may be prompted to enter your administrator password when dragging these files to the trash. You should restart afterwards.
If you still have the problem download the shareware utility TinkerTool System and use it to clear all user and system caches, font caches, old log archives, etc. Restart afterwards.
If you still have a problem try one of the following at a time:
1. Boot into Safe Mode (restart and after the chime press and hold down the SHIFT key until the startup screen appears with the dark gray Apple logo. Release the key as soon as the spinning gear appears.)
2. Create a new user account. Log into that account.
If the problem ceases with one or the other let us know which solved the problem.
Failing all of the above I'd say your best recourse is an Archive and Install. This does not require erasing the hard drive but you will need sufficient space for installing a fresh copy of OS X.

Recent Software Update Problem-Graphics

I just updated my software this afternoon and after I restarted my macbook, all drop down menus anywhere, even on web pages do not work. You can click on them but they are not completely visible. You can't read what they say. The software update was for graphics. How do I undo this bad software update?

I assume you attempted shutting the computer down and restarting?
When an update brings problems conventional wisdom is to repair permissions and then download the combo updater from Apple's website and install, rather than allowing the software update program download the update and install it. Don't know if repairing permissions is necessary or not, but the combo updater does solve a lot of ills.

Recent Fan Update Problems

I recently ran a software update, and there was an update that adjusted the fan on my MBP. Now, each time I turn on my computer, the fan runs constantly... Is anyone else experiencing this? It's really odd to me, and I'm not sure whether this is normal.
Any suggestions on this? Should I worry about it. My computer has never really ran hot before, but now I feel like it's working overtime with this fan constantly running.

Thanks for the iStatPro. I've never used it, but I just downloaded it.
According to iStatPro, my fan speed is from 1998-2004rpm, but that is just for my left fan - my right fan is at 0 rpm... I'm guessing it's broken?
My temps seem pretty hight, as well. I'm not really sure what the average temps are for a computer - I've never really thought about it because my Macs have always just worked... It'd be nice if I could do a screen shot of iStatPro, but here are some examples of temps (they seem a bit outrageous):
HD: Macintosh: 103 degrees
CPU: 153 degrees
AirPort Card: 130 degrees
Enclosure Base: 88 degrees
GPU Diode: 151 degrees
GPU Heatsink: 130 degrees
Heatsink A: 124 degrees
Heatsink B: 106 degrees
Processes:
Safari: 3.6%
WindowServer: 9.2% (which I didn't even know I had...)
BackupD: 2%
Any help on this? I guess one of my fans is broken?
I mainly do web design, and I know how to run the Adobe Suites, but actually having to delve down into my computer's insides - I know nothing about it.
Thanks again for your help!!!

Since most recent OS update, my iMac intel won't open my HP Officejet 4500 scanner. I have un-installed and re-installed the 10.8.3 update and the dame with HP drivers. I get the essage (HP scanner won't open because of a problem". Suggestions???

It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way
...Michael

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.
...Michael

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Right after the new Firefox update

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

After doing a recent software update, my macbook can't bring up Safari. I get a problem report for Safari with a lot of tech words/numbers

After doing a recent software update, our macbook stopped opening up Safari. We keep getting a problem report for Safari. How do we fix this?

Please copy and paste the entire report in your Reply. That should reveal what the problem is.
No need to send anymore reports to Apple. One is sufficient. It's only for the developers perusal.

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

Recent Lion update -- HDMI/HDTV problems

After the recent Lion update, my MBP can't communicate with my HDTV, which was possible before updating OS.
There's just a black screen on my tv, with a small text: "Outside area".
I've tried changing everything on the tv and finding the HDTV on my MBP, but it won't work.
I haven't tried SwitchResx, since it worked without this program before.
I've searched the web alot, and it seems Macs generally have a problem with HDMI.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Fixed4L

Sounds like your home folder permissions are out of whack.
Open Terminal and paste this command:
sudo chown -R `id -un` ~
Put in your password and press 'return'.
Wait till it finishes, it might take a while. Restart the computer and test.
