Slower MBP since 10.5.4 Most Recent Security Update and iTunes 7.7.1(1)

Anyone notice a significant overall slowdown since installing updates to iTunes and the Security Updates that were released recently? My MBP is an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.3GHz with 4GB of memory; it should blaze, and used to, but not anymore. Very noticeable slowdown overall!

After update 10.5.2 there has been performance issues on my MBP as well.
Response performance varies - like your laptop is becoming tired..................
Unfortunately, general freezing of the screen and all control (except power down), happens randomly - I read in another post that this only happens on Battery? - I believe this to be true...........
Longer app loading times and annoyances from spotlight indexing at poor times.
Window memory and size are lost on occasion - having to resize all quite often - crazy.
Dock unhide judder from first mouse activation - I know it's petty, but I think the Dock is worth it.
Sometimes, bootcamp partition desktop icon fails to appear with the other desktop icons, later after spotlight has calmed down.
The last bug is usually a sign to run Onyx maintenance and rebuild spotlight and other preferences.
Great program.
This usually sorts it out for a week and then the symptoms come back.
Logic Pro seems to take more RAM (I know i need to upgrade - only 3Gb available on my machine - nuts.)
Still a very cool machine though - BF2 and Logic on one laptop.............
Any positive ideas and solutions are welcome.

I have the most recent phone update and iTunes, and when I am trying to upload new music it says "waiting for changes to be applied" but nothing actually changes after a few minutes. Has anyone else had this problem? I can't even remove music

has anyone else had the problem with getting your iphone to sync? i can't get any of my newly downloaded music to sync to my phone from my itunes and i tried to delete all my music and it won't even sync to do that. i dont know what to do.

try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

Each time my iMac reboots i am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update.

Each time my iMac reboots I am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update. When I put my password in the pop up just comes back, if I press cancle it goes away. Any ideas on how to get rid of this annoying popup?

I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

Missing letters since most recent security update

I I installed the recent Security Update last Friday. Starting today letters are missing from buttons and windows. For example, the cancel buttons have the "n" dropped out. Just like now as I'm typing this question! The letter after "m" seems to be having problems. Any ideas?

Fixed the problem from advise from another topic. I ran repair permissions and now everything I think is back to normal. I have so few problems I always forget about "repair permissions" Thanks for the advice!

Most recent software updates and issues with XP servers

My company had issues with the June 2006 software updates to the Macs and resulting incompatibility with an NT server. I am curious if anyone knows of any issues resulting from employing the most recent software updates to Macs and any compatibility issues then arising with XP servers.

My iPad, purchased in Nov. 2012 won't start after the most recent IOS update, and it's fully charged. Any suggestions?

My iPad purchased in 11/2012 won't start since updating to the most recent IOS version in 3/2015.
It's fully charged but pressing the HOME button or SLEEP/WAKE button, individually or together doesn't have any effect.
Suggestions?

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Most recent I07 update requires itunes to be restored???

Is there any way to avoid losing user content as most recent update caused me to need to restore my Itunes?
Will I lose all user content or just itunes content?

You don't need to restore iTunes. iTunes is the link to the store on the iPad. I think that you mean that you need to restore using iTunes on your computer. If that is what you mean, unless you have a backup, you will lose all of the data that you have input into the iPad. If your backup is old, then the data that you restore, will be as current as that backup is.
Almost all paid content can be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID. And as long as the content is still available to download.

TextEdit and Stickies not working after most recent security update

Hi,
I recently installed security update 2007-009 (Universal) along with Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6.
Immediately afterwards I had real trouble with some third party apps such as Butler.app, as well as Stickies.
The problem seemed to resolve itself, but it has come back with a vengeance tonight. Neither Stickies nor TextEdit will let me type beyond a few characters before "not responding". Butler has also not loaded.
What is going on? And what can I do to use my most practical writing tools? This is incredibly frustrating.

Office 365 sync problems after most recent security update

Since the security update, mail and calendar are not syncing with an email address at outlook.office365.com. After the update, Mail and Calendar wouldn't open with several tries. Sent reports to Apple. Finally, Mac took longest time to boot with the spinning disc. Then Mail and Calendar would open but they don't sync with my work emails. It doesn't say it didn't sync but it is clear it did not given that I can see the emails on my iPad and through webmail and on my phone. Any ideas? How can I make sure Mail and Calendar didn't get corrupted? How can I fix? How can I make them work so I can work?

I thought that this happened to myself as well, but I just let the computer run at the gray screen, and the apple and loading indicator came up a minute later. It stayed this way for a while, then it restarted itself and all is well.

Bluetooth Issues since most recent Security Update

I just updated my Macbook Pro and my wife's MacBook Air, and all of the sudden, our Bluetooth Apple Keyboard and Magic Trackpads are undiscoverable. I just spoke to a friend in San Fransisco who said the exact same thing is happening with his computer since he installed the latest updates.
Anyone else having this problem?

Did You get The Most Recent Firmware Update And Did It Work

Ok There seems to be alot of confusion on hear about the Friday ( 07-08-11) Update that was sent out to fix the Reboot issue with the Phone. Some people like my self have reported that they can not get the Update as there phone is getting an inability to connect to the network error, or the update window simply disappears with out a response (This is what is happening to me).
Many have reported that they got the update it fixed the reboot bug, and that they are seeing improvement in the phones functionality in general. Some people have reported that they have heard that the update is causing more problems. What I have yet to see (And I might have simply missed them) is reports from users that this has actually happened to them. So I started this Thread to see if we can't get a straight answer from the people that are actually using the phone (Because it seems VZW and HTC don't' seem to know or want to tell us right now)
So hear is what Im asking
1) Did you get the Update
2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update
3) How is the performance of the phone now
4) Has the latest update brought any new problems
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and we can all get a clear idea of weather this update is a worth bothering with.

2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update Yes
3) How is the performance of the phone now Much better, I no longer have data drops so I no longer need to turn on and off Airplane mode to get data back
4) Has the latest update brought any new problems Zilch, none, nada, nope

Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

Hello everybody,
after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
java
'java' in your current PATH
Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
Best regards,
Björn
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have narrowed down the problem even more:
Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

Q?... i deleted the most recent firmware update, and now this...

the streaming feature of my quicktime program is non-functional, all i get is the

Check your streaming options in the QT MIME Settings.
Also, make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software.
If the above does not work, please advise which browser & version you are using?

Both iPhoto and Mac Mail not working after most recent security update

Granted I wasn't there to see it happen but I think my mom's computer here is a bit fubar based on something having been changed on her computer prior to the last security update. My guess is that her friends who think they are 'helping' are actually causing some real problems but I'm here now so I'm just trying to fix it with what I can.
Essentially neither her mail or iPhoto seems to be working. I've found a similar error message in other posts but what throws me for a loop is that, when I use the console log and look at the crash files for both applications, they are both telling me the exact same thing. Could they both be pulling the same file for use? I've already run the disk repair stuff, changed the permissions on the file and just about everything else I could think of - do I need to reinstall the application or perhaps the entire operating system?
