Tons of things I need to fix After Updated 10.5.8

Help Help Help Help!!!!
Since I upgraded my Macbook 13' 2.16 GHZ intel Core 2 duo, I had a lot of problems that I don"t know how to fix :
1 ) I'm able to empty my trash but not see what's in it. Try tons of time to open it, but i doesnt respond.
2) If I try to search in the Finder window , the finder will quit unexpectedly. Also it quits a lot of times during the day even if I'm not using anything
3) I have two Finder icons on my dock, I cant remove them. Its seems that there're kind of duplicated and only on of them is operating. If I clic in the new one the finder window will appear, but If I Clic on the old one anything comes up.
So... Can someone help me =(

First try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.
If this doesn't solve the problems then reinstall OS X as follows:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Anyone know of a fix after updating the last ios...ipad keeps restarting or won't stay on. Very aggravating.

Anyone know of a fix after updating the last ios...ipad keeps restarting or won't stay on. Very aggravating.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? I don't have a lot of confidence that it will work for you, but it's an easy thing to try and a good place to start.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, you should probably restore the iOS software. You may even need to use recover mode. Both are covered in this in article.

Line 6 tone port gx doesn't work properly after updating to mountain lion, i'm hearing artefacts, how is that possible?

i am using logic 9 and line 6 toneport gx for recording my guitar. on the previous version of OSx everything worked perfect, but now, after updating to mountain lion, i hear noise after i play something. the settings were: input: toneport, output: coreaudio, 44100, buffer 512. now they are the same and i have noise. i've installed the latest drivers for toneport and changed the buffer settings. when the buffer is large, i can play some seconds without the noise but it appears after 15-20 seconds. and when the buffer is small it appears faster. i assume it has to do something with the buffer size but i don't know for sure. any ideas?

I have the same problem after updating to ML. It's unusuable for recording until it gets sorted out.
I think it's a problem at the Line 6 end. They are aware of it, and are working on some patch/fix to address the strange artifact sounds, so hopefully it will be ready soon.

Things you need to know before updating

I have seen that more and more users come with a lot of problems after they try to update their devices. These problems are due to unaware of how to properly and carefully prepare the phone before and during the update.Always make sure that:
Battery level: Should be at least at 60~70% charged ( SUS or PCC advice you to have it at least at 50%, but to ensure better performance, keep it well above 50%).
Backup your contacts, data, apps, etc you can use PCC, MyphoneExplorer or Alternatives on How to backup Xperias; it is recommended to use a computer to backup your media (music, videos, photos).
USB: The USB cable should not be disconnected at any time, if the computer stopped recognizing there is NO possibility that the USB cable to disconnect during the process (as this will result in an incomplete install, which will only make more trouble for you).
Power outages: If you know you live in an area that is prone to blackouts (electric failures) and/or slow internet service/connection, try to look for other places to update; as some updates need a reliable and fast internet connection, the update file could be up to 1 GB.
Follow the steps: Carefully follow the steps provided by the update tool whether it’s SUS or PCC.
Notes:
Some users encountered issues with PCC on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.To overcome these issues, download SUS.
There are instances when SUS does not show all phone models. In these cases, you need to run it in COMPATIBILITY MODE with Windows 7.
For all kind of questions, issues contact any of the support members on the forum.
Have fun with your devices!

Pre-xorg7 font problems not fixed after update

Hello all,
After several trouble free years my fonts have gone down the shitter. No idea how or when this issue started, I think it must have been after a recent freetype upgrade.
Here are two screenies which show the problem:
· before
· after
Notice how font spacing is screwed in term and gvim and how window title has gone to shit.
Here is my fonts/local.conf
and xorg.conf
Ideas and suggestions, please?

OK - I found this part about bitmap fonts on the wiki:
Something or someone disabled all my non-scalable (bitmap) fonts, I want them back
By default, fontconfig 2.3.2-4 and higher will disable the use of bitmap fonts. This setting is managed in /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-bitmaps.conf, or in higher versions, /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-bitmaps.conf. To enable bitmap fonts and keep them enabled after upgrades of fontconfig, place a symlink from yes-bitmaps.conf to 10-bitmaps.conf, overwriting the symlink to no-bitmaps.conf.
That's a recent change my update was on 19th Feb - that has fixed vim/gvim and terms, window title prob persists

NEED TO FIXED OR UPDATE FACETIME ANNOYING SOUNDS

As what i observed since ios 7.0 introduce to all Apple user i get my attention in "FACETIME" when i start to use it the high pitch and crackling sounds prequently come even though you have a good signal and many times to restart it still the same. when i off the camera in both user the annoying sound also gone and the voice chat goes smooth unlike the video call. please fixed this issue.

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Video signal lost on launch of iTunes (after "update")

I just (foolishly) "updated" to the most recent version of itunes. And, surprise surprise, a headache has ensued. I am using a mac mini hooked into a TV via HDMI (the setup is mac mini ---> receiver ---> TV). After the itunes update, Weirdly, when I launch itunes, the video signal gets lost. The application appears to start without any problems at first, but 10-20 seconds after launching, my TV goes black. I've never encountered a problem like this before (I've had my mini hooked to my TV in this setup for some time.) Any thoughts on how to try to address this issue would be greatly appreciated. (If only I had this computer on time machine, I would go back an hour and all my problems would be solved.)

I had the same problem after installing Snow Leopard.
But now it seems magically fixed after updating to 10.6.2

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Peter
Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
Please help me sort out this issue..

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps!

After updating to Maverick, I need to install iMovie, iPhoto, but have read it has a lot of problems. Is there a fix?

After updating to Maverick, I have heard there are issues with Imovie 11. I want to know if I should buy it?

Thank you so very much for your reply and help!
I went back to the store where I purchased the Mac and I tell you that was an "experience"!. When I explained the overheating problem they informed me that they could send the Mac for service, they said "after all you do have a warrantee and Apple care".
I live in Sweden, but I´m American and as you mention I was expecting that they would immediately offer a new computer, but instead they want to send my 2 day old computer for service?? Not happy!!
Then when I mention that I could not see my external hard drive via Airport Extreme, the guy said that some HD are not able to be read by the Airport Extreme. That was kind of strange since I been using it to back up the G4 via firewire and never had a problem.
As it did not work with my HD as they had promised, I decided to return the Airport Extreme and buy a Time Machine. Then the salesmen informed me that he would buy the Airport Extreme back for a discount. BUY IT BACK and for a discount?? I had it for 2 days!! Never have heard such a thing in my life!
What was suppose to be a dream come true, is turning into a nightmare, I hate the store would love to just give them back the Mac and just order online from Apple. However I´m afraid they will want to buy it back for a "discount" I just spent 4000 dollars in that store, I get no help and instead they want to make more money out of me without a purchase. Sorry, just so upset!
I managed to fix the trash problem, just took "empty secure" away, according to what I have read, sometimes the fans take a while to "kick in" so I´m waiting for them to "kick in" and yes I will reinstall the system completely and hope that will fix the rest.
Thanks again for the help!

Ah, you didn't read the fine print on installing Lion, did you? None of your old software will run in Lion.
You have two choices:
A) Buy all new or updated software
B) Partition the hard drive and install an older version of OSX to run your older apps.
You did not give us any idea of what PowerPC apps you were running, so additional options:
C) Restore to Snow Leopard
D) Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta which runs PowerPC apps) in Parallels 7 in Lion:
