System Lockup AFTER installing ExpressCard Update 1.0!!?

hey there, before i installed the expresscard update 1.0, my mbp was running fine. just after that though i'll get random systemwide lockups.
i've noticed this happens only when i'm loading a page from Safari.
Only 3 applications are running. AdiumX, Safari and iTunes.
When I get the "lockup", my cursor will turn into a Spinning Beachball, and i'm unable to access "Force Quit" menu, as well as click on anything else on the screen. music keeps on playing on iTunes though.
further examination of my console.log ges me this
===
** (process:312): CRITICAL **: msnobject_new_fromstring: assertion `!strncmp(str, "<msnobj ", 8)' failed

===
i know the parse error is the last thing that causes the lockup coz i get the "Mac OS X Version..." log entry whenever i boot up.
So the 50million dollar question is: How can I rollback the **** expresscard update?
does anyone have any similar problems?

UPDATE:
i have discovered that a fresh boot, followed by launching ONLY Safari, I would get a lockup WITHOUT FAIL when i'm loading this webpage

can anyone who has installed the update verify if it locks up their system too?
much appreciated

After installing several updates, the system is unstable

Hello,
I tried to install my mac mini server several times, all works fine, but after installing the updates from Apple update service, the VPN, Workgroup manager makes problems.
In the last case I installed the last great update for the snow leopard server and the last update was the Safari update. After the Safari update the connection is very slow and I get no VPN connection. Also when I start the workgroup manager for example I need 5 minutes to connect to the server.
thx

Thx for the fast answer....
(Ok tried it once again to install the system with all updates and with the last update (Aiport update for mac mini) the same problem occurs.)
changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 192.168.1.194
Current HostName = xxxx.local
DNS HostName = xxxx.local
The names match. There is nothing to change.

MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
I appreciate your responses and help.
By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Hi Kappy,
Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd. I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8. How do I make informed decisions? In other words,
(1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
(2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions? And who expects me to make correct decisions?
I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

Hello Mac Friends!
Need some help here!
After installing 3 updates from the "software update" app today (June, 11th) my macbook doesn' t initialize anymore.

If you have backups, if you can and saved your ML installer, you can start over.
Prevention and taking a more proactive approach to system maintenance and repair, rather than fixiing a problem (likely pre-existing?) format the drive or partition and reinstall 10.8.1 and restore from backups.
Never had any issues? freezing? apps crashing before?

After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
Shut your mac down.
Press the startup button.
Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

All application slow to molasse after Installing Security-Update 2010_007

After installing security update, ALL applications, all commands in X11 had response times ALL key strokes of the order of seconds to minutes with >93% of system CPU idle. Console displays the message below ever 60-70 seconds.
11/11/10 4:25:36 PM updatedyld_sharedcache[12] for arch=i386 failed: read failure copying dylib errno=5 for /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib while copying /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib to shared cache
The solution is a modification of this link
http://www.macosxhints.ch/forums/showthread.php?t=15517
Basically, the offending file /System/.../LibLAPACK.dylib is moved from the system directory to a current directory, e.g.,
sudo mv /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib .
and then back to the original directory, e.g.,
sudo mv libLAPACK.dylib /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib
Problem solved without reboot as system immediately returns to normal. Why would a security update from Apple cause this?

Andreas, do you have this info in english? I'm having a similar problem, and I want to see if I can solve it; or could you tell me what you did to solve it?
Here's the message I'm getting every minute from the console:

HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

Loralee,
?? I am sorry the computer is not working. I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
If you are using a Notebook:
Close all your programs and shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset. It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

I am sorry you are having so much trouble.

After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

In the System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/
selected this printer.
Selected Print (vs scan) at top of page shown
Selected Options & Supplies
Under the Options tab, checked the box "HP two-sided printing accessory (Duplex)
And then it worked as advertised
Why in the Hxxl HP would make a user go through that to activate a key feature of a printer is beyond me. But this printer has some quirks that HP has never fixed through these past 7 years of ownership and driver upgrades to match OSX version upgrades.
But that's life.

Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
What do you think?

Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

Black screen on startup after installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 on Win 7 64bit

After installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 (both related to .NET) on Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit, my computer fails to start up correctly:
- start up and windows boot screen
- then black screen and computer freezes
The only option to this problem I found so far is do a cold reboot and then let system repair uninstall the updates. Is there a better way to solve this problem?
System:
Asus UL80VT laptop
NVIDIA GeForce G210M (driver version 9.18.13.2702)
Win 7 Enterprise, fully updated

Hi,
After you unstall the two updates, does the black screen issue completely disappear? We should first figure out whether the two updates are the culprits.
Since the two updates are related with .net as you mentioned, then here's a .NET Framework Repair Tool released by Microsoft, I suggest you try it and check if it cna detect something.

Check your event viewer and see if it recorded something valuable.

Hi there, harleygirl.
A look around the internet and my previous knowledge indicates this is not an issue with firefox, but with how the server that the app is run on is incorrectly configured. To test this, please install an old version of firefox. You can download an older version from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html then try to visit the website again. Please let us know if it turns out that it works with version 3.6

Can I get rid of the Adobe folder(s) on my Desktop after installing or updating?

Hello,
Yes, you can delete it.
But, the Adobe folder you want to remove is actually the setup for Acrobat. So, you might save it at some other location so that if in future you need to re-install the software, there is no need to download the entire product.
