Trouble with latest update

I've been scanning, cropping and adjusting many old photos without difficulty.......until now!
I just performed the latest software update to ver 8.0.3 and restarted the computer. I now note the following: 1. All my photos are on a firewire ext. HD, always have been. Now the HD doesn't mount without a restart, sometimes a few. 2. Each and every function, transferring the scanned images to the iPhoto screen, cropping and adjusting is met with the feared rotating beach ball, lasting moments, or until I manually shut down. This all just began after my update! Comments and solutions are appreciated, and needed! Thanks.

I do not think that the iPhoto update affected your External hard drive's ability to mount - that is an OS function, had nothing to do with iPhoto
2. Each and every function, transferring the scanned images to the iPhoto screen, cropping and adjusting is met with the feared rotating beach ball, lasting moments, or until I manually shut down.
Several people including me have had problems with iPhoto being strange after the 8.0.3 upgrade - because of it I am running activity monitor most of the time to watch what is going on - after launching iPhoto sometimes it eats all the CPU cycles and I've found that if I leave it alone until it completes what ever it is doing then it will be fine for a while and normally responsive. Give it some time (go have a cup - or two) of coffee - or better yet a nice lunch and glass of wine and see if it calms down - Mine seems to be getting better and doing the eat the machine alive less often and for shorter times
And if Time Machine is backing up it is much worse

  • I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

    I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps.  This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related.  All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting".  I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement.  The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup.  I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on.  There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available).  Any suggestions on what to try next? 

    Hello there, Missy.
    First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • I updated my iPhone with latest update.  I was asked if I wanted to communicate with iCloud for all my devices.  I chose yes.  I than am told I need to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email for apple to verify

    I updated both my iPad and iPhone with latest update.  Love it!  However, I wanted to use the find iPhone using iCloud feature.  From the beginning of update it kept prompting me to verify my account when I wanted to use iCloud ???  Apple kept telling me to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email from them.   And I'm not talking about verifying by my alternate email which I was successful at.

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Latest Lync Client with latest update in one setup file

    Hello,
    We are building application using Lync SDK and we want to ship the Lync Client in our setup:
    so we added the lync 2013 client found here to
    our setup and its size 290 mb
    after we faced some problems we ended up to install the update found here  and
    its size 86 mb
    this makes the setup size bigger so our question is:
    Where we  can find the latest Lync 2013 client with latest update files included instead of adding
    a new update files to the setup?

    Lync 2013 client setup is part of the Office setup program on the installation media.
    Lync 2013 Basic is a downloadable client for customers who have a licensed, on-premises Lync Server 2013 deployment and customers who subscribe to a Microsoft Office 365 plan that does not include
    the full Lync 2013 client.

  • Deploy Internet explorer 11 with latest updates using SCCM 2012

    Hello,
    I'd like deploy IE11 with the latest updates included. The reason is that I want the IE 11 enterprise mode to be available as soon as IE11 gets installed.
    I don't want to wait an update scan cycle to trigger the installation of the updates.
    What is the best way to achieve that using SCCM 2012 ?
    Regards,
    Michel

    Hi,
    You have to capture the installation package with latest update by using IEAK 11 on the computer which has the IE11 with this feature.
    GP to enable this feature:
    Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu
    This is only for Windows 7 computer.
    As I mentioned above, for Windows 8.1, we can only deploy Windows 8.1 update 1 to add this feature to IE11, since there is no separated update can be installed for IE11 on Windows 8.1 to implement this.
    Windows 8.1
    Update (32-bit version)
    Windows 8.1
    Update (64-bit version)

  • Mac with latest updates: installation window appears, shows message "Retrieving install" for 3 seconds then installation window goes blank. Why?

    Mac with latest updates: installation window appears, shows message "Retrieving install" for 3 seconds then installation window goes blank. Why?

    Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows). I am having the same problem - Windows 7 seems to have installed but it goes to a blank black screen and there is nothing to do but force a reboot. I too have an i3 iMac...

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • With Latest Update, Premiere CC Crashing at 100% Export, with Increased File Sizes

    I'm a bit baffled, and hoping someone can help. With the latest update of Premiere CC, I am having trouble exporting to Vimeo. As a filmmaker and educator in Chicago, I do a lot of exporting to Vimeo, up until now with great success. Over the past few days, not only is Premiere crashing at 100% export, but it seems to be exporting larger files than before (and with fewer Vimeo options, I notice, in Media Encoder). Not only did this happen with a 30-minute class exercise straight out of a Canon camcorder, that inexplicably was being exported at around 3 or 4Gs, but more importantly: I am trying to replace the video file on Vimeo of a feature film of mine, and the EXACT same feature film, at the exact same length (82 minutes), with the exact same export stats, that was 3 GB in all it's past successful exports, is now exporting, inexplicably, as a 9 GB file - it's Vimeo HD 1080 - always is. Nothing has changed at all on my end.
    This is a problem, as I have several items to export to Vimeo in the coming days. What's going on?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    One other specific change I've noticed in the export settings is that export is now defaulting to H.264 Match Settings - High Bitrate, whereas before it defaulted to whatever settings I had previously used.

  • I have experienced recent system lock-ups and I am require to shut down with the power switch could this be a OS problem or software related using LION with latest updates

    Whats up with the system lockups just frustrated as to why. I could be checking mail, surfing the web or using PS Elements 9. Makes no difference what I am doing it occationaly locks up and requires a cold boot (windows talk).

    I don't think so, Lion with the latest updates is running fine for most of us.
    Post the log for your next lockup or the previous one if you can isolate the timeframe.

  • DVD player does not work with latest update

    I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display.  When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......"   Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Dear all,
    Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
    When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
    Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.
