Software update on IMac - Everything is now too small
I installed the software update today, but now the screen resolution has shrunk dramatically - I can barely make out my text. I'm now limited to 2 resolution options, the current one and another that just blows everything up and cuts it off to the point of ridiculous. I cannot use my computer and my computer is how I earn a living. Please help.
Try downloading the combo update (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524) and re-install that. It may fix the problem.
Also, see the posts in More Like This. There may be something useful in those.

I have the latest iTunes software on my iMac mini and now have IOS7 on my iPhone and now I cant sync music from my library either by wifi or by usb? I get song lists that scoll at a million miles an hour but no actual content. What should I do to get my music onto my iphone.
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -

I have not turned it off but it has been stuck in the same spot for 30 minutes now and I'm not sure what to do next since the screen says to NOT turn it off until done. Please help.If it hangs much longer you may need to disconnect and then grab a micro USB to restore through iTunes

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done. -
Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What’s the problem?
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

I got a software update for my iphone today, now I have no contacts! Any ideas as to which cloud they are probably on and how I get them to rain back into my phone please?
Your contacts will only be where you put them.
They will be in whatever program/cloud service that you had chosen to sync. -
Hello,
Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
Thanks, RichardAnd one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4539 why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.
why i cant see ISO software update.i try everything.
How have you tried to update the iPad to iOS 6.1.3 ? The page that you posted from, automatic downloads, isn't for iOS updates, only for content from the store.
If you have iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad, otherwise you can only update to the current version via your computer's iTunes.
To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button -
March 08 software updates trigger iMac failure?
I just got back from a trip, turned on my iMac G5, came back with some coffee and saw "software updates are available for your computer - install now?" So I unplugged everything (old habit), said yes, and clicked on "restart" when it asked. The computer did the install, restarted, and came back on with no startup chime, no slot-loading CD drive noise, no monitor activity, and the fans running at 100%. I let it sit for a couple hours, still no change. After pressing and holding the power button to shut it off, I unplugged the machine from power (PMU reset procedure) and attempted to reboot. No luck.
Since then I've tried
- boot into Target disk mode: same symptoms, no FWTDM at all
- boot from CD: same symptoms, drive will not make a startup noise nor suck in a CD. Using original disks and/or Disk Warrior 4.1.
- boot into safe mode: same symptoms. Have tried wired and wireless keyboards both verified to work with other macs.
Next I'm going to try taking out the 2GB Ram and replacing the original Ram, but I don't expect that to change things for the better. The computer was working fine under the old RAM for at least 4 months prior to these software updates.
SO, any other suggestions? I've been using macs since 1988 and am considered the resident Apple Genius, but this one has me stumped. My iMac is a Rev B which has had the power supply and hard drive replaced on apple care. All the latest updates, regular care and feeding with Disk Utility, OnyX and Disk Warrior, backups with Time Machine, etc.The saga continues. The iMac would not restart after either a shutdown, restart, or sleep cycle. I opened it back up, removed and replaced the RAM, and it started fine. But would not restart - just a black screen, no startup chime, and 100% fan speed.
I removed the back and put it right back on - no other hardware changes. Same sequence: good first boot, failed subsequent boots.
I unscrewed the back, DIDN'T move it AT ALL, screwed it back together, and same sequence: good first boot. Very strange. The iMac must have a continuity check that involves the three screws. When the screws get backed out, the circuit must get broken and trigger something.
So I ran the OS X 10.5.2 combo updater over top of the existing 10.5.2 install. After the install was complete, I got a little message that said the computer needed to update Boot Cache files and restart. Crossing my fingers, I clicked OK.
So far no problems. My guess is that there is a hardware override of boot cache after the case is opened. Then on subsequent reboots without a hardware config change (actual or assumed by a screw movement), the system looks for the boot cache. The recent updates corrupted those files or something in the process, making the mac hang. By over-installing the combo update, I forced the boot caches into a usable format again.
The phantom part is shown in this photo. (Right click and open in new window to see bigger). The offending part and gapping are both on the power button and peripheral port side of the computer (left when viewed from the back). It looks like a printed circuit board held on by a hard drive mounting screw: .
The right side is perfectly flush as it's supposed to be. The case warping on the left side is shown in this photo: .
Any thoughts? -
Mac extremely slow since recently downloading latest "numbers" software update. Also Mac when put to sleep, will now wake up by itself and go back to sleep etc, etc. Please Help!

OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest. -
After latest Software Update my iMac goes to a prohibition sign on startup
iMac Info:
24" Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66Ghz, 4GB Ram, yadda yadda
The latest software update notice I received informed me the following new software was available:
* Performance Update (version 1.0)
* iMovie Update (version 8.0.5)
I told it to install the updates, after which the computer had to be restarted. Upon restart the computer seems to be restarting normally, ie: the bell tolls and the Apple symbol shows above the spinning icon. But after what seems like a very long time a "no symbol" aka "prohibition sign" takes the place of the Apple logo, and the spinning icon remains. Nothing else happens. To see the screen I'm referring to check this image:
http://donnypauling.com/images/prohibitionsign.jpg
*Here's what I have done so far:*
* I called expert case support and we tried a few things. The guy I talked to decided that I needed to use my snow leopard disk to use time machine to restore my system to the way it was before the software updates. He figured something must have been corrupted in the software update. I couldn't find my Snow Leopard disk so he emailed me instructions to follow when I finally found it.
* After finally finding the disk I followed his instructions and restored my system to an October 8th backup.
* Upon restart all was supposed to be well. That didn't happen. The same problem persists.
* Support is now closed, so here I am searching these discussion forums. One thread mentioned a similar problem and it was recommended that the person start in safe mode and repair disk permissions. Sure enough, my iMac starts in Safe Mode. I repaired disk permissions. Restarted the iMac. The same problem still exists.
Now what?

Message was edited by: Donny PaullingI have had similar issues since upgrading to Snow Leopard. The first time, I took my MacBook to be checked and the tech said it booted up fine under another startup disk. Since it's under warranty, they just reloaded the original system (Leopard) and I needed to rely on a time machine backup. Now, after the latest software update from Apple, I had the same problem, and am restoring from the latest Time Machine backup.
Does anyone know if this is a systemic problem? Any tips on preventing a repeat the next time I need to update my system software?
Thanks.

So when I open Pages, it says there's an update, and it asks me if I want to go to Software Update to check it out. So it opens, it loads, and tells me everything is up to date, no updates. Am I missing something? I have Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
There didnt seem to be one.
No, it wasnt. It didnt say "installed" where the price for the app would usually be located.
But I did manage to get it all fixed at an Apple Store. Turns out the disk had some issues installing it. We reinstalled it again and this time around was successful. Now whenever there's an update it should go through the app store no problem.
Thank you! -
Anyone know how to remove your own picture that is now attached to all text messages? Since the software update (assume KitKat) my LinkedIn photo is now attached to all my text messages and I never set that up, nor can I figure out how to remove it!
How do I remove my photo from my text messages? Android RazrM.
Help! It is driving me crazy. Thank you.Thanks, but this information was not useful. First it was outdated (2012 and the software is 2013/2104) in the Settings/Apps/All section there was no "Text Messaging" icon. Under "Phone/Messaging" the clear cache was not possible, it was not available, an active option.
VERIZON/GOOGLE - I am still hoping to learn how to remove my photo from my text messages - why is this so difficult? Why is something like this added without my permission or at my request? May be a reason to jump ship to iOS. -

I did a software update on my ipad to 8.1 and now cannot access the internet. How do I fix this? My mail updates, but to get internet access I had to move from wifi to cellular data, and now even cellular data does not allow me access.
Hi Go to settings Reset Network Settings After Reset you need to enter your Router wireless key Before you do this turn off your Router for 30 seconds Also an option is to go on Websites for your make of Router look for any Firmware updates but you can do this later. Cheers Brian
