SMB problems still exist after 10.5.6, plus more instability

I have an issue that I have documented with Apple concerning mounting of SMB shares to Windows servers (see jyappleconvert.blogspot.com) on 10.5.5. I had been getting around the issue by running VMware Fusion and opening shared folders and documents with apps running under Windows.
Although I didn't see anything specific about this issue I installed 10.5.6 in hopes that it would solve the issue... As soon as I got it installed I attempted to mount an SMB share and got nowhere. I messed around with it for a while. Either it wouldn't mount... just spin and spin, or I got a request for credentials... which I shouldn't need since I'm using my AD credentials (Mac is bound to AD), but even when entering correct credentials it wouldn't connect. I even tried unbinding and rebinding to AD. Finally, it started to work... not sure why but I was able to mount the shares. Then I ran my test that I had been running to get the Kernel panics to appear and I was not able to do so... so I assumed that it might be fixed.
I dropped back in my AppleScript to mount the shares on login and it seemed to work. Today, when I logged on, I choose the mobile user icon instead of the Other user icon and when I got in I noticed that my shares were not mounted... when I tried to do it manually I was back to the same thing as yesterday. So, I logged out and back in using the Other user icon and the script ran fine and the shares mounted.
I was gone most of the day and I had logged off my Mac. When I logged back on, I went in via the Other icon and now not only aren't the shares mounting, but I'm getting the colored spinning beach ball when I try to do anything involved with Finder. I was able to get the system preferences up and I removed the applescript login item for mounting the shares, and relaunched Finder and quickly logged out. Then I logged back in and it seems OK now. So, although I don't seem to be getting the kernel panics like I was before, I'm also starting to have other serious issues relating to mounting Windows shares.

I looked through the log files for the time frame in question and didn't see anything relating to Kerberos. So I did some more experimenting. It's preliminary, but the problem may have to do with a third-party addon that I use called Default Folder X.
I don't run this on my test Mac Mini, which I haven't updated to 10.5.6 yet, so I know that this wasn't the problem in 10.5.5.
However, I quit DFX... hmm just noticed that when I typed the abbreviation for the application, it's the same abbreviation that I found in the log file this morning... wow...
Anyway, after I quit the program, I was able to once again mount my SMB shares. So I thought that perhaps I hadn't upgraded to the latest version and perhaps that was the problem... but no, I was at the latest level. Tech support info on their web site led me to a problem that can occur with a corrupt preferences file. I followed the instructions to delete the old preferences file, reregister the app and start again. After this, I logged out and then back in and DFX started OK and I am now once again able to mount the shares. At least for the moment, the problem is (once again) fixed.

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols. Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center. I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center. I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
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. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility and checking to see if the HD needs repairs?
Restart holding Command + r and at the recovery screen select Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. More info here about the Recovery HD:

My firefox crashed when upload file on our web based application. This happen on two PC, even during firefox safe mode the problem still exist. But the problem

Dear All,
My firefox (version 23 on win 7) crashed when upload file on our internal web based application. This happen on two PC, even in firefox safe mode the problem still exist. So, my first conclusion the problem nothing to do with extension. here the crash ID https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/81220865-36c0-4e10-a484-6d27e2131023 and https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/86d2b779-9730-4d2c-b276-a86d42131023. I wonder if this happen because jquery modul in our web based application. But when I tried on my laptop, the problem dissapear. I tried to replicate same situation on different server, I mean I put the exact same application source to other server, never meet the same problem. Thus, I suspect may be it related to antivirus that installed in our network which is kaspersky. I am googling, never meet the clue.
If you meet the same problem, please help me.
I am so sorry for my poor english.

The crashes are a problem with the winhadnt.dll file (OCular Agent from TEC Solutions Limited) as you can see in the crash reports.

Could you describe what your problem is, please?

When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted. I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists. Any idea what is going on?

It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
Any idea what is going on?

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.
