Software Problems after Pre Repair

I sent my pre in after the power button broke to be repaired. it came back after 4 weeks, the power button is fixed.
I had a loaner for a few days as they thought it might be 6 weeks. The loaner phone was great, had all my info etc.
Just not my photos, which after reading on this forum, photos aren't backed up. This is ok as I have them on my computer anyway. However, I now have my original phone back. The power button is working great, but I now have issues with some of the software things. I signed into my phone and all the wallpapers are gone (the pre ones), not huge as I have my own photos to use. So I decide to do just that and reload all the ones I previously had on the phone (so I know they work as they have been used before), yeah, not working now!!!
I try to set wall paper and it keeps telling me "failure to set wallpaper", so I am stuck with the orange plant thing.
If I open the photos app, I have a link for photo roll only. When I originally purchased the phone it showed wallpaper, photo roll, miscellaneous and downloads and they would just be empty. Now it just says photo roll.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Also, my voicemail symbol is on the bottom right of the screen and I have no new messages! I have checked and keep checking because I don't know if I missed a call or not!

Hi Priate Queen;
Since Printshop is not an Apple product, the best place to get an answer to your question is to ask the vendor who produce it.
There were some very basic changes to hold thing are done in Leopard which caused many third party applications to stop working so your assumption could very well be correct.

Display problem after apple repair

Hello everyone,
Few weeks ago had this problem with vertical lines on my iMac display, which apple told me it was a display problem and they needed to changed it. So far so good... despite the 300pounds i had to pay for a new screen but anyway....... now look what happened...
i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before (i wish i could browse on internet about this problem, the thing is: with my screen like this i cant distinguish what is or isn't a good image when i watch videos/pic posted from other users regarding displays problems)... do you think is any graphic problem? or display again?
i'm so upset
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I've just done it and the screenshot looks fine on my iphone. So... LCD problem again...? great
can you see any problem on this screenshot?
Thank you for you help.

Software problems after install

Since upgrading to Leopard, applications like Printshop won't work. Why not? I've tried reinstalling, but no go. Does this mean that any software programs I had before the upgrade are no longer any good?

Plz help...problem w/ verify/repair permissions after software update

Hi,
I just ran the software update from the Mac menu and wanted to verify/repair permissions afterwards. First I used Onyx and when it was executing, the system would not respond after a couple of minutes. So then I tried Disk Utility and I get a message saying "Disk Utility internal error: Disk Utility has losts its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." And I did, and the same message appears.
What else can I do?
Thanks.
PowerBook G4 15 Mac OS X (10.3.6)

Have just done software download - gone to repair permissions and have got same message. Running on 10.3.9. Anyone any ideas as to what is going on here. Did NOT run repair permissions before the update (Yes I know I should have done). Could this be a factor. There are a number of other threads on this forum concerning this exact problem - but so far have found no explanation or solutions.
Disk varified and reported OK. Mac seems to be operating OK. How does Disk utility "link" to Disk Management Tool?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Please Read This To Reduce or Eliminate Problems after Software Update

Hi all, I have been reading quite a handful of Mac users here reporting problems ranging from minor ones like slow downs to major ones like application crashes, and many of them blame the new OS and/or Security Updates.
Without learning more from the details of how did they perform their Software Updates and Install, I am making a huge assumption that it maybe something they did or didn't do, one of the key things they did not do is Repair Disk Permission
Below is what I called, the "ritual procedure" needed to perform before and after a Software Update, and also any other major software installation - to help reduce or eliminate "hiccups" afterwards, I cannot gaurantee that all macs all over the world will not suffer any problems after an update, but by doing so, you may help reduce it; I have 4 macs all together and so far I have not encounter any major problems after many versions updates.
Anyway, I didn't come out with this series of procedures, I read it off somewhere in this Discussion quite a while ago, and thought I share it again with all of you:
1.Before starting Software Update, unplug all external devices, FireWire, USB, hubs etc etc, not just turning them off but unplug the cables off your Mac, leave only your keyboard, mouse and internet connection on (unless you are using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or on wireless internet)
2.Repair Disk Permission
3.Restart the Mac, then start your SU, do not run any other apps.
4.After finishing SU, restart your mac; If you are updating OS or Security Updates, Restart is required.
5.Repair Disk Permission again
6.Shutdown and re-plug in everything and start up your mac as normal.
I know the procedure is pretty long and "troublesome", especially the unplugging and restarting part, but so far it really has done my macs good, so I am going to "swear" by it... my FireWire, USB devices etc still work as normal.
This is really contrary to that "Macs are easy to use", yes, no doubt about it, but the software updates etc is just well, put it this way: The Mac OS when it comes to updates, is very very delicate... so handle with it great care, it will just turn out okay.
Cheers

Thank you for posting that. I posted a similar set of suggestions here:

E66: Problems after software update

Hi all
I'm experiencing the following 2 problems after updating my E66 to new software version 200.21.118 from 26-11-08:
1) When the screensaver is activated it shows the actual time. But the time doesn't change (i.e. follow the phone clock). It remains on the same time until the phone is activated again. The next time the screensaver is activated it shows the new time and so on.
2) I'm using the phone as alarm clock. But after the update I have now experienced several times, that the snooze function does not work properly. The phone is switched off at night an the alarm turns on in the morning (e.g. at 6:00 AM) as it is set to. I then press snooze (or what the function is called using the English language) but the phone does not turn on the alarm after 5 minutes (6:05 AM) as expected. When I then turn on the phone after e.g. 30 minutes it turns on the alarm showing 6:05 AM as the alarm time in the display. This has given me some stressful mornings.
Have anyone her experienced the same problems or do You know a solution to them?
Thanks!
AJ

Hello,
I had same problem, and this helped:
Select Menu > Tools > Themes > Power saver.Select 'animation' or 'now played', so anything else than 'none'
There are further settings availble in case of 'animation'.
After this clock was not stopping at screensaver.
Cheers

Disk Utility and repair permissions problem after upgrade 10.5.1

*Problem with Disk Utility* - +repair permissions don't work anymore+
After upgrading to OS X 10.5.1 tried to correct permissions with Disk utility. But I'm not able to repair permissions, because I get this message every time "fault: The underlying task reported a fault at concluding." and permissions repair stops. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have any idea how to get this working again?

Will try installing OS X 10.5.1 again from the downkoad that you recommended. Won't be able to do this untill after the New Year but I'll let you know if this helped. I had another problem after he 10.5.1 upgrade and that was that the Security update 2007-009 also refused to install. Could this be related too the problems with Disk utility and the permissions problems.

Hello EveryBody
To update your Nokia 2700, DON'T USE "nokia software update" directly.
You'll have to install NOKIA OVI SUITE, then sign in with your account ou register.
Afterwards update your 2700 via the update option of OVI SUITE.
I just tested it and it works

Computer problems after upgrading to Mavericks

SO many problems. I cleared out a ton of old stuff that I saw might be causing problems, and I've verified and repaired the disc, and uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of programs that I was seeing problems with in the console, but now I'm just flummoxed. It's behaving better than it was earlier, and isn't giving me the beach ball nearly so often, but it still seems like it's taking too long for a lot of things. I just reinstalled Avast and am currently letting a game update through Steam. I have the console and the activity monitor open to one side. Since I opened the console, it's been spitting out one or two messages every second, and all I can find through some internet searching is that it's something to do with the wireless connection. There's some other stuff periodically mixed in that doesn't sound good either, involving either sandboxd or mdworker. But for the most part it's along these lines:

I just reinstalled Avast
"Avast" is perhaps the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. It's worse than the imaginary "viruses" you were worried about when you installed it. Not only does it fail to protect you, it throws false warnings, destabilizes and slows down your computer, and sometimes or always corrupts the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage, and neither will Disk Utility or even reinstalling OS X.
Back up all data, then remove "Avast" according to the developer's instructions. Reboot.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and follow the instructions linked above.
If you still have problems after following those instructions, post again.

My macbook pro 15 mid2010, crash every time in the last month. What can i do? Is a hardware or software problem?

The problem is that my mac is working very well, in soft programs, like browser or text editing, and then stop. Stop for one eternity, until i do a hard shut down.
After this situation apper´s many times, in a single day, i went to a apple service store and left my mac to repair. At first, the tecnhical manager told me that happens a lot, and the problem are in the logic board. Well, when i pick up the mac, he told me that was a software problem and was solved with the instalation of 10.8.5, but in that same day, he crash 3 or 4 times, in different way´s. Now, he crash´s and restart alone, and at the first try don´t restart appearing one message on the grey screen.
I don´t know what is this problem.
Someone have or had this problem too?
What is the solution?
Thanks a lot...

Maybe find a local who can translate for you. I don't know what to tell you for dealing in another country for service on your computer.
I can offer you something you can do if you want to give it a try. You'll need a backup of your data in your Home folder because you need to erase the drive. You'll also need a solid, preferably fast, internet connection.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

My Ipod touch screen will not come up unless I conect it to the computer. It never gets past the apple logo and never fully retores? My screen is crackd a little at the bottom. Is this a screen or software problem?

My ipod touch 4will not respond unless I hook it up to the computer. It never goes pasthe logo apple screen.It never restores fully. Cant tell if this is a screen or software problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MBP 2011 GPU failure or software problem?

Hello there,
since Januari 1, 2015 my Macbook Pro 15" (purchased in 2011) is having major problems! How things started:
I was just watching a movie on Netflix, pauzed it, went to the toilet and when I came back my MBP had a black screen. I could hear the fans working (when I pressed my head against the keyboard) but it did not respond to anything. All I could do was a hard reboot.
After reboot I got the Apple logo, but the screen looked not as smooth as before. When I looked closer I saw very thin, horizontal lines (color pink/brown?) across the entire screen. These lines were not perfect. They had a small break in the middle. After the Apple screen I got different results:
- White/Grey or maybe very pale blue-ish screen -> Does nothing behind this
-----> This is also the most frequent result of a boot
- Normal blue screen -> Checkered screen -> Back to the blue screen to end with a Kernel Panic screen
Since a few days I can "normally" boot again but it crashes after a while. I don't know what the trigger is. It may be coincidence but it always crashed when I tried to go on the internet or used an application wich used the airport (also used a cable). Maybe important to mention is that this "normal" boot happens after the "checkered" screen mentioned above.
-----> The "crash" in this normal boot happens like this:
- Total freeze of the MBP
- Crashes on a black screen (like I had before)
- Crashes on a dark blue/purple(?) screen -> This is also the most frequent crash after a "normal" boot and happens faster and faster.
Safe boot: Sometimes a normal screen but most of the time a screen with pink, very low resolution bands (vertical) across the screen.
When I tried searching for solutions on the internet I immediately came across this:
http://www.mbp2011.com/
The screens show exactly what I'm experiencing. The culprit in this case: GPU failure.
BUT, isn't it strange I don't have any glitching (apart from the boot in safe mode, the Apple Logo and the checkered screen) or distortion on my screen, that it sometimes has a clear screen, like nothing is wrong? Unlike many of the people with the GPU failure, I CAN boot the MBP with a normal screen, only it isn't very stable and it is only occasionally.
Things I've done so far:
1. Reinstall OS X (10.6.7) from the original installation disc.
2. I have tried NVRAM and PRAM (cmd+option+P+R), no change.
3. Verbose-mode (cmd+V). (the last thing I could see was something about the Airport) I did this 2 times. First time it crashed on a black screen after the Verbose-mode. Second time it got stuck on the grey screen.
4. Single-user Mode (cmd+S). Everything looked fine, no errors on hard disk.
5. Start in Safe Mode. (Shift). The bar doesn't load until the end but it boots in safe mode, but with the pink bars on the screen
6. Re-apply of thermal paste on GPU
The programmer at our work has over 30 years of experience with Apple and has never seen something like this. He also doesn't understand why it would be a hardware failure, because the glitches are "symmetrical", it can boot "normally" and he can't find anything wrong with it. He is now looking for something in the software wich may cause the MBP to crash. Could it just be a software problem? As I said before: It could be a coincidence but the crashes (after a "normal" boot) always appeared after trying to connect to the internet, using the internet or using an application that uses the internet (like the App Store -> I was trying to download Yosemite, it crashed around 70% of the download). And in Verbose mode the last line said something about the Airport and then it crashed.
My MBP is a Macbook Pro 15" (bought in July 2011), 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DD3
AMD Radeon HD 6490M, Part nr. MC721FN/A.
I am running Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8
I spent the last two weeks on the internet to understand that if it is indeed the GPU that is failing, the replacement of the entire Logic Board is necessary, wich is VERY expensive... This cost would be more or less ok for me, but I read about failing after replacement, a LOT. Why would I pay so much money for a repair that only lasts just over 90 days? That is ridiculous!
Sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language and really thank you in advance. This MBP is impossible to replace (no money...) so I hope someone can help me.
Ask away if I did not provide any information that is necessary for troubleshooting.

Anyone?
