[SOLVED] Latest update kills wobbly windows!

Ran an -Syu at work today (first time in a week) and my wobbly windows went excrutiatingly slow - though everything else in compiz worked fine.
Fixed problem through a downgrade (am using intel not ATI or Nvidia) - anyone else have the same problem?
** EDIT - solved in different thread **

OK. I was trying to solve a completely different problem and finally figured this out.
If I use Xrender rather than OpenGL for rendering desktop effects, this stuff doesn't work. (And I can trigger errors in .xsession-errors by making changes to the desktop effect settings and trying to apply them.)
I reset all desktop effects to default in system settings and got the effects working again.
Trouble is, I can't remember why I switched from OpenGL in the first place so I'm worried something else is about to jump at me!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Before the latest update, while using Windows 7, I could click on the Firefox taskbar icon(at thebottom)and I'd get a new Firefox window regardless of how many I previously had open. Now, it doesn't do that. can anyone help?

Ever since the latest update, when I click on the firefox icon in my taskbar, I don't get a new browsing window when I used to be able to do so.
I've checked the tabs menu in the options, and I don't see a way of enabling this feature.
Can anyone help?

Why will iTunes not start after installing latest updates on a windows computer?

I got the usual notification that an update for iTunes on a windows 7 computer was available and told it to install
It went through the motions and seemed to install,. but when I tried to open iTunes on completion I got the message below.
I subsequently removed iTunes and reinstalled after manually removing various iTunes folders, then reinstalled iTunes with the same result of the error message so I removed iTunes again and installed an older version of iTunes which worked fine until yesterday I was notified of an update for the iCloud, which I installed and am back at square one with the same error message.
I have tried to send an e-mail to Apple but they make it virtually impossible, so I would appreciate any advice anyone can give. I cannot be bothered with all this mucking avbout every time there is an upgrade
Thanks, Mactoshb

Hi, I carried out the advice and after reloading, Itunes is starting OK but I could not delete most of the files and folders mentione,d constantly getting the message that they were open in some unspecified program and to close it to continue, problem was I had no idea what the program was that they were open in.
However I have Ashampoo uninstaller installed and it identified various programs associated with Apple and after uninstalling them I reinstalled iTunes and it is working fine now.
Question, am I going to get this cobblers every time Apple offer an upgrade?????
Anyway thanks for your help and hopefully this posting will help others, as I doubt I am unique and others will have the same problem, Time perhaps Apple sorted it out

Latest update killing my laptop!!!

Anyone else notice this? It is actually painfully slow.
15" Macbook Pro with 2.33 core2 duo with 256 video ram and 2 gigs of system ram. The hard drive is less than 50% full. Even a reboot doesn't cure the problem.
It wasn't like this 2 weeks ago. I suspect either the OSX updates or the Aperture update. It seems like that was the tipping point.

Well it seems that Aperture is grinding everything to a halt when I first fire it up. Every time Aperture starts I see the busy icon spinning (the one at the bottom to the left of the Aperture controls). Clicking on this brings up the "Background Task List" which states the Image manager is processing 5 previews. Once it finishes with the 5 everything flies as it did before but while it's processing this thing grinds to a virtual standstill and the fans spin up to 6000 rpm.
If I wait until the 5 previews finish, shutdown Aperture and fire it up again it says the same thing "Processing 5 previews" every time.
Is this normal?
Seems kind of strange, why wouldn't it just process all of the previews it needs?
I've never noticed this kind of slowdown before.
Any ideas?

[SOLVED] gnome update killed sound on kde 4.9.2 system

the recent gnome-updates in testing seem to have broken my sound on kde 4.9.2. My sound system relied on pulseaudio, phonon-gstreeamer and gstreamer0.10. Since the update there ist only a 'dummy' entry in my soundmixer and no sound anymore. Did anybody experience the same?
Edit: Just downgraded with pacman -Syuu with all testing repos disabled. Sound is there again. This IS an update problem.

I deleted pacman.log after a lot of testing, removing and up- and downgrading because it was quite unreadable at that time.
But if I enable the testing repos again, pacman -Syu wants to upgrade these packages:

Creative Cloud update to version 2.7.1.418 killed my Windows 8.1 system!

Earlier tonight, I saw the balloon from Creative Cloud stating that an update was available. So I installed it. Half-way during the installation, my windows desktop disappeared.
I started the task manager and restarted "Explorer.exe". That made the background reappear, but the taskbar was blank with just the lone Windows 8.1 icon on the very left. Hovering over the taskbar showed the wait cursor.
The task manager showed everything was running normally but the desktop was clearly broken. I checked the directories and everything was as expected.
So I held my breath and rebooted. After logging in, the desktop slowly appeared over about 10 minutes, but all the desktop icons were still missing, as were the taskbar icons. Only a few of the notification icons appeared.
I then managed to bring up a command window with the task manager (fortunately, Ctrl+Alt+Esc still worked) and launched System Restore (rstrui.exe). It showed me the Adobe Creative Cloud was the most recent restore point (below); the previous restore point after that was a Microsoft Windows update from 2 days ago. When I asked for the list of files that were affected by the Creative Cloud update and would be reverted, it showed this:
I again held my breath and restored my machine to before the above CC update; after about 20 minutes of shucking and jiving and a reboot, everything was working properly again.
So there is clearly something out of kilter with this latest update. Adobe the Time Vampire has once again stolen 2 hours of my life, but this time, at least it wasn't a license server issue. I think.

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

SINCE YOUR LATEST UPDATE, I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO OPEN ONE FIREFOX WINDOW AT A TIME, I ALSO LOST MY YAHOO SEARCH BAR TOOL.

I have had Firefox for a few years and have been very satisfied with all of it's features and qualities. I work a great deal from home and have always enjoyed the convenience of being able to work off of 3 or 4 Firefox screens at one time. By pulling up one screen over the other and then go back and forth (as I still am able to do with Internet Explorer), saves a lot of time and NEEDLESS effort.
Since your latest update the other day, I am now only able to get that 1 screen and no matter how many times I click on the Firefox Icon on my icon screen, no other Firefox screens will come up. I am stuck with that 1 screen...
PLEASE HELP!!!! I have also lost my Yahoo search tool bar due to your upgrade, as well as several others which I cannot seem to retrieve.
Thank you so Very much in advance for addressing and correcting this error.

Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

HT1923 I have tried to remove and reinstall Itunes after they sent out the latest update. Fails to install. There is no way to go back to a previous version that works on windows 8.1

Apple's latest update to iTunes failed to install on my computer with Windows 8.1 64 bit. I have reinstalled in many times, removed Itunes via Control Pannel, etc. etc. No luck. Tried to go back to an older version, but all of the installs try to install the latest version. I suspect there is a problem with this update and vesion.

Firefox won't open in Windows 8.1 after latest update failed to install

Latest update for firefox failed to install.
Now, when I try to open firefox, I get the hourglass circle and then....Nothing. Check the processes and it is showing as a background process, but not doing anything. No error message, no crash alert.
So, I uninstalled firefox. Download the installer. Open the installer and...nothing. Again the process is there but nothing is happening.
Tried killing all processes and rebooting and trying the re-install. Still nothing.
The only thing I haven't checked is Nortons Firewall but I thought I might as well ask while I am at work if there is anything else I should check.
Was working fine until this update failed. On Win8.1

I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

# sysctl vm.legacy_va_layout
vm.legacy_va_layout = 0
Does anybody have an idea to what might be going on?
Enabling DRI and disabling DRI doesn't help. Updating to the latest wine 0.9.30-1 also didn't change anything.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
