Trouble with AOL after installing Mac OS X updates

I use automatic updates and tonight it installed 11 new updates:
2006-05-23 20:41:04 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1)
2006-05-23 20:41:08 -0700: Installed "Front Row Update" (1.2.2)
2006-05-23 20:41:12 -0700: Installed "iDVD Update" (6.0.2)
2006-05-23 20:42:42 -0700: Installed "iWeb Update" (1.1)
2006-05-23 20:43:04 -0700: Installed "iPhoto Update" (6.0.3)
2006-05-23 20:43:10 -0700: Installed "iMovie HD Update" (6.0.2)
2006-05-23 20:43:15 -0700: Installed "Apple Keyboard Update" (1.0)
2006-05-23 20:43:18 -0700: Installed "iMac SMC Firmware Update" (1.0)
2006-05-23 20:43:33 -0700: Installed "Keynote Update" (3.0.1v2)
2006-05-23 20:43:40 -0700: Installed "Pages Update" (2.0.1v2)
2006-05-23 20:44:36 -0700: Installed "Security Update 2006-003 (Intel)" (1.0)
Now I can no longer open and sign onto AOL. When I go to open the program, it stops responding before it even gets to the sign on screen. I have tried shutting down & restarting my computer several times to no avail. Since it was working before I installed these updates, I'm guessing one of them is screwing with my AOL. What can I do?
P.S. I'm not very experienced on the Mac. Please keep this in mind when giving me instructions. Thanks in advance
Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Hi azsumrg1rl! And Welcome To Discussions!
Did you Repair Permissions after the updates were installed?
I don't know if that will help with this particular problem, but it is a good idea to do it anyway.
Before you reinstall AOL, try this.
Navigate to
HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences.
Put the America Online/AOL folder in the trash.
Empty the trash, and restart the iMac.
A new folder will be created the next time you successfully load AOL, but you will have to reset the AOL Preferences.
See if AOL will load now. If it does, open AOL Preferences, and reset the configurations.
If that doesn't work, there are some other things to try.
Good Luck!

  • Anyone have trouble with IPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  keeps crashing

    Anyone having trouble with iPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  Mine keeps crashing.

    Mine seems to be just fine. 
    Try a reset,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Trouble with 10g after Installing Grid Control

    Main problem: after installing Grid Control and rebooting, I can no longer access my databases.
    I have 10g installed on a fairly decent Windows XP machine. It was running okay, but I had two Oracle database instance processes running at 200mb of RAM each (of a total of 1 GB of RAM), so it was a bit bogged down, as is to be expected when running Oracle as a server on Windows.
    I then installed Grid Control, which seemed to go okay, and another database as well. But once the install completed, and I gained access to the Grid Control version of the OEM for the first time, that's when things got wacky. Connecting to any OEM instance started taking anywhere from 2-10 minutes, everything was bogged down considerably, etc. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting, but now things are worse. OEM is timing out and not finding servers, listener is timing out, etc. I've tried manipulating a few things in Net Manager (I noticed that my LISTENER section didn't seem to contain any data at all, and my databases weren't listed in there either) with no result.
    I've also had trouble with "host credentials" and being able to administer the databases within the OEM, even after implementing a fix I had found to add my user name to a "log on as batch job" local security policy.
    Finally, I noticed that after installing Grid Control, when I run "sqlplus", I now see "Oracle91 Enterprise Edition" instead of the "Oracle10g" it used to show (and I never had anything but 10g installed on this machine!).
    Here's what happens when I try to access my dBs:
    -When I try to launch the OEM connected to any of the 3 databases I created (which were previsouly running), the browser just times out with "page cannot be displayed".
    -When I run "emctl start <ANYTHING>" I get file/path not found errors, and a file path with both forward and backward slashes (starting after the "agent" directory):
    C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\agent/<...etc.>
    -When I try to test a connection to a service in Net Manager, I get this error:
    ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
    I had to manually add my listener info and databases info(under Service Naming) in Net Manager, but everything appeared fine in Oracle Directory Manager (unfortunately, that doesn't help much, since this is just a general info tool).
    I am nothing near a DBA and my knowledge is limited, so I apologize for not being more consise, but I'd be glad to elaborate if someone could tell me what they need to know.
    Thank you,
    John

    Yes; thank you both. Although I had 1 GB physical and 1.5 GB virtual memory configured, running Grid Control seemed to completely kill all available resources.
    I have removed GC and its related database and applications, and I can again conncet to my databases via Database Control. Thank you.
    By the way, another issue has arisen, seemingly in the aftermath of installing GC: my OEM Database Control instances now time out after about 60 seconds, logging me out each and every time. I have cookies enabled, but this doesn't seem to be the trouble. Is there a Web setting somewhere that will kick users out of the instance at timed intervals?

  • Troubles with Ipod after installing new software

    After installing the new software on my Ipod Mini 4GB, it won't charge, or at least, it sais it won't.
    I have a USB power adapter, and I charged my Ipod all night. This morning, I STILL got this
    http://www.sharksdiest.com/stephane/ipod.jpg ...
    I already tried to reset the Ipod several times...I tried to connect it to my PC (Windows XP), but also that didn't work, so I can't install other software.
    Does anybody thinks he/she has a solution? Should I go to the store (I already send them an e-mail several minutes ago). Or is my Ipod dead, and should I buy a new one?
    Thx for your help

    Usually this is because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try again in 20 minutes or so.

  • Troubles with Windows after installing Acrobat X

    I built a Windows 7 machine from scratch twice and ended up with the same issue.  As soon as I install Adobe Acrobat X Standard, Windows Explorer freezes whenever I right-click on something in Windows Explorer (icon on desktop or inside folder).  I disabled the Acrobat Shell Extension but still have other problems.  I was unable to print anything to any of my printers.  If I right-clicked on a printer, it would freeze up again.  If I restarted the print spooler service, it resumed normal operation.  The first time I upgraded to the latest update (10.1.13) and had the same problem.  After the second reload, I left it at the default version 10.0.0.  I have the same problem either way.  I was able to remove all of the printers from Windows through registry and Windows System32 and recreated my printers.  I also recreated the Adobe PDF printer per Adobe's instructions on their website.  My initial tests proved successful.  But when my user went to try it, the "Creating Adobe PDF" window came up and he got about 3 bars and it froze.  I went in and tried printing some other PDFs, and it did create the files, but it would not let me delete the files.  It indicated that Acrobat.exe still had the file locked.  When I tried uninstalling Acrobat, it would stall part way through until I restarted the Print Spooler service.  I have also tried disabling the AntiVirus (SEP).
    I have spent way too many hours setting up this PC 3 different times and troubleshooting this.  My gut says that there is a Windows update that may be interfering with this.  But I don't know where to start.  This worked fine on his previous machine (same version of all software.
    I would appreciate any assistance.  Surely someone else has run into this before.  Thanks in advance.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!

  • Trouble with safari after updating SL 10.6.8

    I updated my OS last night to 10.6.8  and today, in Safari I find that I cannot view amazon.com  When I open a page, much of it is blank.  Anyone else having trouble with amazon after updating to 10.6.8?
    michelle

    (This is a copy of my post in this thread.)
    I updated to 10.6.8 too, was suddenly unable to print to my before perfectly working printer (an HP Color LaserJet CP1515n hooked up to an AirPort Express), and started scouring the web for solutions. The more I tried, the more disappointed and frustrated I became. Then I came here, read about a possible solution in this very thread (the disk image 'Repair10.6.8.dmg') and became hopeful again.
    But alas...
    Sadly, this isn't working for me at all. I ran the script that supposedly fixes the print problems introduced in 10.6.8, but the print jobs still all pause the printer and fail with a 'broken pipe' error. It has nothing to do with the USB cable, as I can print just fine with the printer directly hooked up to my Mac wit that very same cable. I reinstalled the drivers, updated my printer's firmware, ran the repair script twice just to be sure, reset the printing system, even deleted all preference files with 'hp' in the name and having to do with printing, restarted my Mac. All with no result.
    Man, this is so frustrating! Anybody with any other suggestions or possible solutions?

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!

  • Trouble with wifi after IOS 6 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4 and successfully installed iOS 6 today.  I am having trouble getting on my home wifi.  When asked to join my network, I click on it and type in my password.  Shortly after typing in my correct password an apple.com login page loads from the bottom of the iPhone but says "hmm, the page you're looking for cant be found".  The only option I have is to push cancel and then it ends my wifi connection with my own home network.  Help please.

    After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer.  The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

    Often, you have to download updated vendor software drivers when you switch operating systems. HP doesn't list a C5500 on their web site, however, here's the link to the OS X 10.6 C5540 software.  If you have one of the other C55xx models, look for the updated driver/scan software on their software/driver download section of HP.Com.
