Since 10.6.6 update, drive in tray 2 drops of SATA chain intermittently.

I'm running an original Mac Pro with hard drives in all four slots. Since the update to 10.6.6, not only has my machine's boot time slowed way down, but intermittently the drive in the second slot will drop off as an attached device. The OS gives me the error about disconnecting my drive improperly. I have 3 OSes on my Mac: 10.6.6, 10.4.9 and Windows 7. In Tiger and Windows the drive stays mounted normally. I'm thinking about switching the position of two of the drives to test whether or not it's the slot that is being affected or the drive. This only started happening since the 10.6.6 update and I don't believe it to be a failing drive, although I acknowledge that it could be a possibility. Has anyone else run into this issue or something similar? Any thoughts from the community? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

I don't believe it to be a failing drive,
I think its a failing drive.
Regardless, you should Repair it with Disk Utility right away.
Are your backups current?

If you use Lion, boot into your recovery pressing Command and R buttons, press "Utilities" menu, open Terminal and write:
resetpassword
If you have Snow Leopard, boot into your install DVD pressing C button, click "Utilities" and press Password Reset

My PC no longer recognizes my I Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I Tunes has not helped.

My Win 7 PC will not recognize my I-Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I-Tunes has not helped. What else can I try?

irst off, you can connect the device to another computer to import the photos. Second the error that you are seeing is a Windows error and you would have to look that one up on Microsoft.com. You should be able to remove the device from Device Manager, unplug the phone, wait a moment and then plug it back in. It should recognize it then and load the driver.
The message board is no longer allowing me to reply from that site. In answer to above, I don’t have another computer. Yes, what I sent is a windows error message but this is NOT a windows error. From what I can see online from others, this is a problem many are having as a result of something in the new OS we downloaded to keep our I-phones current. Everything worked fine before downloading the new OS and nothing changed in our systems except the new OS. Apple needs to diagnose the problem and develop a fix!

HT3669 Printer/ scanner not working after update driver

Since the last Friday printer driver update, my HP Photosmart C6180 is not scanning any more.
Also the wifi printing is unavailable.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
In the meantime I did a reset of all my printers (same printer, but in different configurations) and defined them all again.
It does not go as smoothly as before, but it's workable.
Apple should not update these drivers without testing or give a warning how to handle these.
It means a lot of extra time and work for no reason.

Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I installed the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago on my Macbook Pro, and now when I try to do focus stacking by opening multiple photos and doing Auto Align and Auto Blend, the blend selects the entire bottom layer instead of selecting the in-focus areas from each layer. I even tried again on a series of images where this worked a week ago and the problem occurs. I have Photoshop on a Windows 8 machine and did not apply this latest update and it works fine. Has anyone else encountered this?

And since installing this same update, my Photoshop is crashing just after starting.
Ashutosh.Nigam suggested me in this forum to change the permissions to SLStore & SLCache Folder, but it did not work.
Ali from french Adobe support told me to delete my Settings files, but it was not enough.
A girl with no name from the same team told me to update my video card driver, but you know I run the latest Mac OS X version and everything is updated, mademoiselle.
Stephane sent me a link to a huge page of things to do :
- Troubleshoot account-specific fonts, but there wasn't any corrupted font
- Delete account-specific Adobe cache files but... guess what...
- Troubleshoot account-specific login items but... yes, that's it, I can see you understand me
- Reset the access settings on the user account's Library folder... oh god, that was fun, I used the Terminal and sudo commands
I did all of these things because when I tried to open PhCC in an other admin session, it worked, so that was an incompatibility between my session and PhCC. But, but, but, when I tried again to lauch the app in the second session, it worked fine but refused to quit. Ha ha ha.
So you can try to delete your Settings files. I wish it'll work for you. If not you can try the long list above... or hope a better answer from the support.
I didn't change anything but Photoshop on my session and they ensure that the bug is due to my session and not to their update. Strange affair.
Good luck,
JLuc

Since the latest apple update, voice navigation has gone away. Tried the Airplane mode fix, which worked, but now my bluetooth won't work in my vehicle. What's up?

Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply. Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself. I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues.
This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative. This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved. I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question.
BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.} No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you.
So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

BIG touble since recent MAC OS updates

Dears,
since recent MAC OS update from November 2010 on my Mac Book Pro 4.1 with NVIDIA 8600M GT
I face really problems with unforeseen behavior of my machine i.e. like getting slow or even restart just.
I attach you a log file here showing the trouble I got.
My question now is that after zooming through some blogs I noticed that it seems many user with the above mentioned graphic adapter are facing same or similar problems since the past updates on Mac OS. So will Apple be able to recognize that and fix by providing an update or do we need to downgrade to an version earlier than 10.x.x ??
Here one of my typical logs after machine restarted again...

I see.
In deed never had any problem prior to 10.6.5
No sweat to downgrade but then Im stucked with any updates in future.
And I am not expert enough on OS to judge if there really is not a problem with my graphic adapter..
I would say not cause machine work like a charm for weeks sometimes before anything happens to it... then opening safari or any other app may just causes a restart and then when looking the logfile it always looks like the one I posted here.
Bit weird as graphic card either works or works not huh ?
The only one else I got is a panic log but this is something with bluetooth I guess... got the wireless keyboard and trackpad connected and never faced trouble either in the past.
Well I would give tha machine to repair but q is if there is anything broken to be repaired and I am not sure of that...
here the ther log file if you may give it a look too...

Since my last software update, I cannot stream netflix

Please help. Since my last software update, I cannot stream Netflix movies. What is the solution?

MichelPM is correct. Here's my experience.
MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Desktop flashing & laptop 'stuck' since doing iPhoto software update

Recently I was alerted to a software upgrade to iPhoto/iMovie. I set this to go but my laptop seems to have got 'stuck' since installing the software update (which took 3 days of stopping & resuming). I cannot open iPhoto or any other software (even after restarting/rebooting). The wallpaper is flashing between a 'default' wave picture and a blank grey screen. There are no dock icons - just desktop icons & the headers at top of the screen eg Finder, time, battery %, wifi network etc (sorry not sure what they're called!). I cannot use my laptop. Also my Time Machine has stopped recognizing my back up external hard drive - even though it has not been removed. Can anyone help me please? My 'local' Apple Store is 1.5 hours away so hope someone can help me online?? TIA

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
How much free drive space is on the PBookG4?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Insufficient disk space could be the cause of all these problems.
Have you tried booting from your install disk and check the drive for errors?
Are you running anti virus software by chance?

Zen Micro firmware CIRCLE -Can't update firmware w/out driver, can't update driver w/out firmwa

Hi,
I know lots of peopl are having the same problem. I have a Zen Micro 5Gb. I have previously updated the firmware to the plays for sure (about 2 years ago) and it's been fine.
The device had had the hard dri've replaced after it failed, and I need to reload the firmware. I have all the files, I've read all the FAQ and support I used last time (I keep everything) and my notes from 2 years ago say it was easy.
However. Not now. I figure WMP caused a lot of problems. Right - got that out the way. Fresh installs of XP SP2 is the way to go.
I have also followed the instructions here:
http://http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=3478
But, I keep going round in circles. Can't update firmware without driver, can't update driver without firmware.
Any driver install I try asks me to connect the device to complete the installation, but, it won't recognise the device because there is no firmware. I try to upload the firmware, and it says there is no device (because there is no driver).
I have tried multiple machines, with SP2 installed and only WMP9 (never had WMP0).
I have tried USB , 2, hubs, front ports back ports, again on multiple machines.
I've even used an XP install on VMware on a MAC (This was the closest to success).
On the Mac, The player was recognised even in its flash problem state and I could actually start the firmware update. However, it failed to complete successfully.
Has anyone actually managed to do a firmware update on n old Zen using a 2008 PC? Please help!

If your player had PlaysForSure firmware, you'll need to download a PlaysForSure firmware version. That should resolve your issues since PlaysForSure does not use a Creative driver but rather a nati've Windows driver. But you will need to have WMP0 installed, WMP9 does not support PlaysForSure.

Why is my display dark since adobe flash player update

Hey all, since being prompted to update my flash player whilst trying to watch a video on youtube recently my display is very dark. this isn't just in safari but also google chrome. watching videos on youtube now is almost impossible and is getting to be quite irritable. Even my screensaver is considerably darker. I've searched online and noticed some people are having similar issues with adobe creative cloud but this is something I do not have installed. Any help regarding this matter or thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
With Firefox fully closed, you can hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
If Firefox is visible, go ahead and disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration as a workaround for a possible graphics card driver software incompatibility.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will be in effect the next time you exit and start Firefox back up.

I'm having lot of instability in my home network since the last airport update. Am I alone In this?

I'm having lot of instability in my home network since the last airport update. Am I alone In this?

Just curious. Have you opened disk utilities application in the utility folder and select your drive, and run repair permissions. This may or may not help. It also may take awhile if it has never been done. Good luck!

No chime on startup since 10.9.3 update that allows ical and contact synch through usb

My 2009 iMac used to not chime on startup. I tried virtually every fix, I could find except taking it to a repair shop. After I upgraded to Mavericks, the problem magically disappeared. That is until I installed the 10.9.3 Maverick update today. This makes absolutely no sense to me, espescially since all that this update was supposed to change was the synching ability over USB, of ical, and contacts. Does anyone have any idea, what could be going on?

Hi Allen,
Thanks for the response. I'll try a second DVI adapter in the future.
I have a hunch this is in fact my AMD Radeon HD 6750M card giving out. I've found some other threads mentioning theories that the kernel_task occasionally running many noop instructions in a last ditch effort to cool the laptop down, which would make sense, as the bottom of the computer's case has been almost too hot to touch fairly often when running in the DVI monitor mode.
When the VGA adapter is plugged in, the dedicated AMD Radeon HD 6750M does not kick in, instead the integrated Intel graphics chip is used, which runs much cooler apparently.
I'm hoping this is a 10.9.3 radeon driver change that'll be fixed, but at this point I'm thinking this is just another instance of a 2011 macbook pro with a 6750M card failing after only 3 years.

Updated driver will not enable HP Photosmart 5524 to scan wirelessly

I have been printing & scanning wirelessly with my HP Photosmart 5524 device since purchase. I updated the driver this morning as part of a refresh on my mac laptop to speed up its performance. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I am now unable to scan using my wifi network direct from the HP device. I have uninstalled & reintalled the new driver twice. Restarted my router, laptop & HP device.
As stated the driver is now installed twice - one to be used with USB wire & one on wifi. The scanner & print options are visible for the USB driver but print is the only option for the wifi driver. It is not convenient to have my laptop constantly near the scanner so I really need to get the wifi scan option working again.
I tested the HP Web Service & can scan perfectly fine on the network that way. Its ONLY the new driver that will not show a scan option.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums ELAMC,
I saw your post about wanting to scan wireless with your Photosmart 5524 however, you are unable to since a driver update.
Here are my suggestions that might help!

Restart the computer
Re-add the printer (Ensure you're adding the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver)

Additionally, you can try a firmware update: Firmware Update to improve functionality and performance

MIIX 2 8 - Miracast Problems since 1.07 Bios update

My tablet has been mainly used for presentations since I first got it and connected to my Netgear PTV3000.
Worked perfectly except for the lack of clone mode, extended is ok but clone would be perfect.
My other use is for Skype calls which it handled very well until the camera stopped working following a windows update. Rolled the camera driver back which fixed it the first time however this week it failed again. Rollback of driver was greyed out so I tried the Bios update from 1.03 to 1.07.
Bios updated and camera now works again but Miracast is dead. If I try to connect to PTV3000 it can see it but just dosen't connect. I upgraded the PTV3000 firmware via the Miix to the latest V2.4.53 but no difference (wifi direct still works).
Reset the Miix to factory, tried every driver option I can find but no joy, well not quite true, I briefly had the Miix connnecting to the PTV3000 with no picture but it did have sound.
If anyone has any ideas I will try anything. If anyone has an older Bios 1.03 or 1.05 I would love to try, I can live without the camera however Miracast is a must.
Greg.P
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Miracast working in both clone and extended.
At work I use an older LCD Projector via a powered HDMI to VGA adaptor with audio, screen resolution drops while projecting in clone mode and I loose the camera as it's a metro app, however other than that clone or extended works perfectly.
Working on getting our old projectors updated to Epson EB-1985WU which have MiraCast built-in and being full HD even the camera will work in clone mode.
Video driver I used from here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?ProdId=3712&lang=eng
It seems theres been a couple of updates since I did this, the driver I used was win32_153322.zip, download options are win32_153329.zip or win32_153330.zip niether of which I have tried but I am fairly sure will work.
It should work ok with just the driver change, mine is a full clean windows install which I did after the bios update to try and fix miracast, but I am 99% sure it wasn't necessary.
Hope that helps
Greg.P
