Today's Update
Just installed todays software update of hp printing and mac OS-x...then the computer restarted and I had to download newest Itunes...reboot to spinning beach ball for the last 5 minutes
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Repair permissions and restart your computer. Report back if you get the 15 minute beach ball again.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there. At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes. -
Installed todays security update, computer will not boot, down
I installed todays security update. now my G3 600mhz 14" iBook, running 10.3.9, will not boot.
I have had several symptoms throughout the day. A couple of times it sat there for about an hour with a blank screen. It came up several times with the message to type "mac-boot" ( I may be remembering the syntax wrong) I tried that, I also tried typing "shut-down" at that point.
Later it came up to my background screen bout would do nothing and go no further. Now it is siting there with a OS 9 folder icon in the middle of the screen and sometimes the icon alternates between a face and a question mark in the middle of the icon.Robert,
I sympathize with your plight. I had a similar problem with my G4 AGP (Sawtooth). Like a dummy, I installed Security Update 2006-004. Upon reading posts about Apple updates on this board, it seem that the knlowledgeable ones wait until the unsuspecting ones walk on the landmines that Apple builds into the upgrades before trying it themselves.
I had exactly the same problems that you describe. Since I believe that my G4 has an extended warrantee, I called Apple Phone Support. The gentleman after listining to my plight, told me that he could not help me because my Mac was a "VINTAGE" model, no longer supported by Apple. How is that for an answer. I guess that now that Apple switched to Intel, all Motorola chips become "persona non-grata".
Anyway, I remember that something like this happened to me some years back with another "upgrade". I believe that basically, the problem is due to the fact that Apple does not make provisions for third party products installed in a Mac. Last time, it was the video card (ATI) that had to be removed in order for the upgrade to work. This time, I had to remove my 2 GHz. Giga Design CPU and put back the measly 400 MHz. Apple CPU. Then I was able to boot normally. I then re-installed the Giga drivers and everything went back to normal. Since I am getting old, and it is recommended for persons of my age to engage in mental exercises, I believe Apple is trying to help me by having my brain work overtime (not to mention the 5 terror-filled hours I spent to resolve the problem.
I suspect the update writes to or resets your PRAM or other non-volatile memory. Does your G3 iBook have any non-Apple components? If so, I suggest you remove it or them. Beyond that, I cannot help you, except to suggest that you reset the PRAM.
I now have transferred most of my data to a fast, trouble-free (relatively) PC. Since in the future, all Macs with have Intel chips, there will be no reason for me, after about 30+ "vintage" years to buy Apple. Of course, just as Apple touts that its OS can run on a PC, PC owners will (are already) running Mac OS on their PC.

I’ve got a mid 2009 MacBook Pro. Today, I updated to Yosemite 10.10.1. I also updated Safari to 8.0.2. Now, anytime I open Safari, it immediately quits and give me an error page that says, Safari unexpectedly quit and suggest that I can click on a Reopen button and restart it, but it just does it again.
I read some of the questions and responses here and went to ~/Library/Safari and threw out the webpages.db file and emptied the trash and rebooted.
No luck; same problem.
BTW: Mail works
Any ideas how to get around this?There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked. -
Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates
Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.
Anyone experiencing something similar?Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well. -

Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Could not access Creative Cloud today without updating it. After update it will not open. It spins for five seconds then closes. Mac Pro tower 3 yrs old 12 gb ram os 10.7.2
I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem -
I have a iPad 3 (wifi+cellular). Today I updated with the latest software update. But after the installation of the update it doesn't start. Again and again the apple logo flashes and nothing happens. I tried to reset it by accessing it through iTune. But it is not recognized by iTune. Please help.

Blank Screen After Today's Updates
I was thrilled to see the new kernel and intel drivers show up in today's updates, but after rebooting, I have a blank screen on my E6410 laptop, which has Intel graphics. The Dell logo comes up, then the Grub menu, and then the screen goes blank. It was working perfectly fine before the update. Did anyone else run across this?
Last edited by jlacroix (2010-11-26 04:14:51)Same problem here. How do you downgrade anything or change any settings when the screen just goes blank right at the start?
edit: I'll share some more for good measure. I'm on an nvidia gfx so it shouldn't be Intel-related. The system actually seems to be booting since I can log in and sudo reboot in the dark to prompt a reboot, which means I could technically try and fix this without seeing any output. That just seems dumb, though.
edit2: Removing vga=773 from the kernel line at boot at least restores cli visibility. startx returns "no screens found" so I'll try a downgrade.
edit3: Downgrading to 2.35, along with downgrading nvidia & nvidia-utils to 256-something as well as ndiswrapper and tiacx finally got me back to where I need to be with X working fine.

Today's Update Screwed up PDF printing from Word
Todays adobe update (6/20/11) somehow screwed up my Adobe Printer Driver and now I can not print to PDF files. I've tried re-installing Adobe-X with no change in the ability to print to PDF. Any ideas?
Try the steps recommended in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791587. Here is the short version:
1. Delete the PDF Printer
2. Use Control Panel / Programs and Features to repair the Acrobat installation
3. Then reboot Windows and see if the problem is fixed -
