Software update screws up calendar synch! Help!

This is the second Blackberry where I have updated operating software and now 86 recurring calendar entries are really messed up. I have to deal with all 86 or else stop synching. Help!! How do I prevent this and how can I achieve a global fix?

Hello brucehaines and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you elaborate on how the appointments are being messed up? Are they duplicating on your device? Are you getting any error when you are trying to sync?
Thanks,

That is as far as your iPod will go.

10.5.8 Software update screws permissions

I had a recent disk crash on my MacBook, so bought a new hard-disk for it. I installed OSX with the original disks that I have. That is to say I did the following:
Install 10.4 with 2 disks
Upgrade to 10.5 with the official upgrade disk
All seems to work fine at this stage. So I installed some additional software and everything works fine. Then I did the Apple Software Update (from the menu in the top left corner). Amongst other things, this installs Safari 4.0.3 and upgrades the OS version to 10.5.8.
Next time I boot up, I find out that Firefox doesn't load up. Some searching around the net and I find out that this might be related to disk permission problems. It's at this time that I discover that I am unable to create any new folders on my Desktop. The error reported when I try to is:
The operation could not be completed
An unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)
I run Disk Utility, and find a few hundred disk permission problems. "Repair Disk Permissions" button reports that it fixes all issues, but running the check again finds just as many violations.
To make sure that it wasn't something i did, I formatted the disk again, and re-installed the OS. But applying the updates screws up my permissions again.
So: the underlying problem appears to be with permissions. This manifests itself in several ways, including this problem with my desktop. To repeat, I cannot interact with the desktop itself (the computer background), although I can access it via the Finder. (e.g. Any USB files I add to the system don't appear on the desktop, but do appear in the desktop directory in the Finder).
Other problems that I've found (I suspect this is not an exhaustive list):
- Cannot redeploy DMG files (I tried to download and redeploy MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8.dmg after finding suggestions that this might fix my problems). I then found that other DMG files don't work!
- Some programs (most notably Firefox) simply won't open (even in safe-mode).
Does anybody have any ideas as to what might be going wrong? And how I can fix it?
It can't be a compatibility problem with the specific hard-disk that I replaced - can it?
Thanks,

Thanks Kappy.
I followed this technique on my third re-installation with no success. I did it a fourth time, and instead of running the unified 10.5.8 update, I ran each of the 10.5.x updates individually. (10..5.1 followed by 10.5.2 etc.) This frustrating and time-consuming work-around seemed not to replicate the problem again, and I've been running happily for 2 weeks since.
However, after attempting to install a third party application tonight (a free app from the Web that I hoped would help me re-import my lost iTunes library from my iPod, an application I hasten to add, which I need because iTunes itself won't let me recover my library from my iPod), the whole system hung again, crashing the Finder app. After an leaving the system alone for an afternoon in order to allow Finder to recover itself, I forced a reboot. Now I find that I am unable to write anything to my desktop again. The original problem is back!!
I'm very frustrated at the moment as I am unable to pin down the cause exactly. Certainly however, there is something very unstable about the MacBook's setup! I'm pretty sure it's down to one of the following:
1) The OS has some kind of allergy to the particular brand of hard-disk that I've put into my MacBook after the original crash. This I find fairly unlikely, although I'd like to hear someone else's opinions and experiences on similar matters.
2) 10.5.8 has a bug in it. My chief suspects are the reported disk permission issues, much discussed in these forums. I strongly suspect that they are not quite as innocent as Apple make them out to be: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
I'm going to reinstall my OS for the 5th time now. I will only upgrade the OS to 10.5.7 and run with that for a while to see what happens. If I run happily for a month with this setup, I would very much like to report this as a 10.5.8 'issue' to Apple. Does anyone know how I can do this in an official capacity?

Nokia 6730C - Software update mess up calendar and...

Hi,
I went from a N95 that was flawless (but broke) to a 6730C and I'm a bit frustrated...
I have done 1 or 2 Softwre Updates and everytime it has messed up the phonebook and calendar...
My contacts are given multiple phonenumbers like mobile, home, work etc. After an update there is like 2 or 3 copies of each contact in the phonebook, some with all the phonenumbers, some with only home or mobile for example, some with NO numbers at all and so on... The last update copied and filled my phonebook with no less thatn 721(!) contacts
My calendar is synced with my computer at work and updated against Microsoft Outlook with no problems at all. But every Software update has deleted, changed or moved multiple calendar notes... For example it moved around 15 birthdays from different dates in the calendar to the 29th AND 31st of December...
It drives me crazy having to edit the phonebook and calendar manually every time I do a software update.
Any one else having these problems? Any tips or suggestions how to avoid these kinds of problems?
Regards

It sounds like you are fairly new to the upgrade process. Here's the basic gist of what makes updates succeed:

please help me how to get out of the connect to i tunes screen which came after trying to update software of ipad 3 through software update in the ipad i t is not coming out of the connect to itunes scree neither being able to switch it off

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Running extremely slow after most recent software update. Would love some help troubleshooting and fixing, thank you!

Hi folks. Since my last software update, my computer has slowed to a near halt. Help!
I have a late 2009 MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.2. 2.26 Ghz / 8 gb memory.
I went into the Disk Utility and ran "verify disk," and got an "ok." Verified and repaired disk permissions. No idea if they're relevant.
At this moment the activity monitor is showing 3.79 gb of free memory -- 10 minutes ago, when I was doing nothing particularly differently, it showed all 7.99 gb in use (active and inactive -- I have. No idea what this means.)
It's all beach balls around here, all the time. Any ideas?

Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination. In Activity Monitor, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more memory over time without ever releasing it.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details:
Memory Usage Performance Guidelines: About the Virtual Memory System

I have an iPad with version 4.2.. Bt I want 2 change it to version 5.11. How??? I dnt have "software update" in my settings. Help please.

Help....!!!! Upgrading iPad of version 4.2.1 to version 5.11. Possible?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. 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, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
A first gen iPad will update to iOS 5.1.1 (it doesn't support iOS 6), and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (they are the only versions that are 'signed' by Apple for them).

Software Update screwed it all up!

I have a powermac G3 machine, running a 500 MHZ G4 chip, 640 RAM, OS X 10.3.9.
I recently downloaded the newest Software Update (including the Airport update, around March 26). My machine, which has been working beautifully for years (probably because in the past I specifically haven't downloaded the updates for fear of what just happened), is now officially messed up.
The computer no longer recognizes any of the cards I have installed in the back, I.E. my wireless 8011 card is gone, as well as my USB 2 card; both used to work fine.
Why ever download updates if all they do is cause problems?? Any help would be appreciated. I don't believe there is a way to restore macs to a previous state, which would be the best thing to do.

Sad to say now, but that's why us "oldtimers" always recommend backing the system up before installing an update, especially a large one. In VersionTracker or MacUpdate you can find a variety of packages that can "clone" your system out onto another drive and, should things go wrong, you can clone it back. My personal favorite is SuperDuper.

I can't install software update 10.5.7. Help!!

I checked the software update download the MAC OS X 10.5.7, when the software update said that the new software requires to restart the system, I pressed the "restart" button, then when it "restart" there's this window that said installing 1 item [on the top] and on the very bottom, its says "configuring installation". I thought its just normal so I left it like that. After 2 hours, it isn't finished yet and I can't wait anymore longer because I have something to do so I just shut down and open my macbook. Then i searched youtube about the update, i watched a video that says it only takes 5-7 minutes so I think there's a problem.
Please Help!
