Update 10.7.3 major issues

After the automatic installation of the update 10. 7.3 my system is no longer working. Each and every program start is failing. Windows have funny control buttons. Apple has no solution to offer. Some discussions suggest to install the combo support update to fix the problem. This is impossible if you can't access the internet.
I tried secured start of the system and it failed too. Appreciate any help. I have time machine backups and could reset the computer. But perhaps someone has a better suggestion. Appreciate any help. Apple seems not to care at all.looks like premium customer support.

Yes. Major problems with Lion 10.7.3 update. Mine won't boot, just get a grey screen.
Starting in 'Safe Mode,' worked - Hold down the Shift key when starting up the computer.
Also can boot in Single User mode - Hold down Cmd(Apple) key & the letter 'S'
IF you have Lion Recovery, holding Cmd-R will give you options (mentioned above)
Not all machines have Lion Recovery automatically installed and those folks had to make a USB Flash Drive disk and if that was done, hold down the Option key when starting up.
Or, as John Galt also mentioned, you're going to have to download the Combo update from another computer and hope you can get it copy/installed on your main hard drive.
I'm going to try reinstalling the Combo Update now.

  • Latest Update has major ISSUES!!!!

    Is it just me or does the latest update of Skype comes with lots of major issues???
    1. It is ridiculously SLOW compared to all previous versions!
    2. Sending "pasted" (CTRL+V) screenshots simply DOESN'T work!
    3. Sending attached files simply DOESN'T work!
    There are other issues, but those are the main ones I have experienced for the past few weeks!
    My whole Skype experience has never been worse!
    Anyone else having these issues too...?

    @cdgo - I can't answer your question about the cloud, but I think I can offer some idea about the need for IE.
    IE is not just a browser - it includes a number of additional thing, one of which is an ActiveX control to display web pages inside other applications. It will be this that Skype uses to display the home page, and to manage internet file transfers. 
    The capabilities of this control reflect the capabilities and settings of the currently-installed IE browser, so if you have websites blocked in IE, or an outdated version, then this will affect the instance of this control that is running within Skype.
    This is a fairly standard way of dealing with HTML rendering, and is not unique to Skype.

  • Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse.  The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

    Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
    I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
    Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
    On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
    On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
    I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
    Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
    On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
    Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
    In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???

    Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file.  Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
    In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
    I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document.  NOT GOOD!!!  Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign.  WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??

    Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
    * Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
    * Corrupt Image(s)
    * Power Failures (power surges)
    * Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
    * Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
    If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

    Hopefully this helps you.

  • Anyone else having major issues with 1.1.4?

    So I updated to Firmware 1.1.4 a day or two after it came out and I've been having major issues. This is on a phone purchased on launch day that has not been jailbrokened or hacked in anyway.
    Battery life...when the phone actually works, is down drastically. I went from 2.5 days with Bluetooth and Wi-fi on to about 12 hours at one time.
    Wi-fi...when it works, just cuts in and out even when the signal should be all full strength.
    Clock...even though it is set to sync with network time, can be accurate one minute and lags behind as much as 15 minutes.
    I've done numerous restores, both from a backup file and setting the phone up as a new phone. Nothing seems to fix the problem so far. Has anyone else run into these issues and/or know of how to fix it.
    I was contemplating downgrading the firmware to 1.1.3, but I don't believe there is an official way to do it.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    I have exactly the same issues, After the Update the sound quality of my calls dropped drastically! I tought first I got a cold or something like that...but it was not I cannot hear as clearly as I used to before and increasing the volume does not solve anything!
    I also noticed that trsitionning from an application to another and especially using the home button to got to home page is getting slower. I need more time to lose safari and go to emails than before.
    My Memory usage is exactly the same as I havent added anything to my library or so. Aroud 3.5 GB free.
    Anyone with same symptoms?

Will not uninstall, says I need to close IE...which none are open.  This issue has been going on for weeks now.  I have done everything the help said to do and still not working.  I need HELP!

  • There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0 on Windows!

    There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0, on Windows!
    observed on:
    - Windows 7 x64 machine with 12GB RAM and high-performance CPU (core i7-920)
    - Virtual Machine guest running WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) on the same machine
    - Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4GB RAM, running Win7 x64
    Neither of these machines are connected via Sync or anything like that. The Firefox instance on the VM is a fresh/clean install.
    The problem:
    - 100% cpu usage for 10 seconds, memory usage (PF usage in XP) goes up to 1.7GB
    - if "about:home" is the Firefox Start Page, effectively it hangs the computer at Firefox startup for 10 seconds
    - if "about:home" is NOT the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" button on the toolbar it loads "about:home" which causes the same issue again

    Thank you cor-el! Your suggestion has solved the problem on my WinXP VM which I was using to test, and I will soon confirm that it has also solved the problem on my primary Win7 desktop.
    To recap:
    - I set "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" to an empty string
    OLD VALUE: https://snippets.mozilla.com/%STARTPAGE_VERSION%/%NAME%/%VERSION%/%APPBUILDID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/
    NEW VALUE: (blank)
    - I deleted the folder \storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home under the Profile directory
    Actual folder name on WINDOWS XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<PROFILENAME>\storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home
    However I have a concern that the '''OLD VALUE''' of "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" will creep back in, in a future update! Can you communicate this issue to someone on the development team?

  • 10.6.2 - Major issue with 8800gt

    Hi, I've got a Mac Pro Early 2008 with 8800gt.
    I just updated to 10.6.2 and I have been experiencing major issues with nvidia 8800gt: my mac don't boot. When I push the power button, nothing appears on my monitor and I can hear the 8800gt fan @ maximum speed. It seems there's no disk activity, too.
    I've tried to remove the video card and start the mac without it: now I can hear the Hard disk run, but obviously I can see nothing on my screen.
    any suggestion?
    thanks,
    Luzio

    I can't count how many, but a good 5-10% of the problems with updates are due to a lack of pre-update maintenance.
    And you can't rule out what or why if you don't have 10.5.8 and/or 10.6.1 on another hard drive to see what is wrong. You can't navigate from a DVD.
    And you can't boot from a DVD if the hard drive directory/catalogue is severely corrupt. Which your situation suggests is the case.
    Unplug your hard drive.
    Boot from the DVD
    Install Mac OS to another drive.
    Never go without working backups and emergency boot drives.
    It is normal for 8800s fan to kick in for half a minute during startup to cool it down and expel any heat that may have built up. So it suggests the 8800 is working properly.
    Backups PREVENT problems. As does Disk Warrior (best used with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner).
    Of course if you have a 2nd 'spare' video card all the easier to troubleshoot and rule out what the cause is.

  • Major issue on HomeHub 5, confirmed on 2 separate ...

    I had a HomeHub 5 that was having the wifi freezing issue but only on one device, for those not aware of the problem it is when a device connects to wifi and works for a specific period of time and then all data will suddenly freeze although wifi is connected with a full signal strength, data transfer can only be resumed by turning the devices wifi off and on again at the sacrifice of any downloads you had going.
    I had experimented with wifi channel selection, wifi broadcast mode (802.11ac 1300mbps / 802.11a/n 300mbps) I then performed a factory reset of the Hub which didnt fix the issue and then subsequently formatted and factory reset the MacBook which also didnt solve the issue.
    At this point I presumed a faulty Hub so had a new one sent out by BT, I now have the new hub installed and proceded to start some heavy downloading to test the connection and I managed to get it to freeze within 5 minutes thus bringing me to the conclusion that the Hub 5 is having some major issues with its firmware.
    The old Hub 5 was on a newer firmware updated at Xmas which ended .1.6 the new one is on the firmware version prior ending .1.4
    If I connect my Hub 4 to the Hub 5 and use that as an access point and disable the Hub 5's wireless then the freezing disappears and I can do really heavy downloading with no problems so I know its not a problem with the MacBook's wifi.
    Other people have reported similar problems but with iPads and other devices so I know its not a case of me being unlucky.
    I know that this is a firmware issue as opposed to a hardware issue because I was fortunate enough to be on the Hub 5 trial and the initial firmware that came on the Hub 5 when it was still in trial was fantastic, really fast to connect and no freezing at all, my freezing issue came near the end of the trial when they rolled out the public release firmware I did report my findings at the time but unfortuantely it was too late for it to be fixed.
    I shall do some further experimenting before I return my old Hub 5 to see if setting it up as an access point and using another hub for DHCP hosting still has the same issue, if the wifi works fine with it as an access point then it could potentially lie in the DHCP part if it still exhibits the problem then the problem lies in the wifi part of the firmware.
    I shall keep the forum updated with my findings and hopefully the moderators can forward my findings back to the firmware team to get a fix out pronto as it appears quite a few are suffering with this.

    To set up an old Hub as an access point these instructions work on Hub versions 2,3,4,5
    >Disable the wifi card on your computer/laptop as you dont want to change settings on master hub by accident.
    >Power on old hub but do not connect to phone line just plug it into the wall and connect an ethernet cable from this to your computer.
    >Navigate to 192.168.1.254 on your browser this will bring up your hub configuration page.
    > Goto Advanced - Firewall - Configuration - Disable.
    > HUB 4 AND 5 ONLY: Goto Advanced - Home network - Smart Setup - Disable.
    > Goto Advanced - Home Network - IP addresses - In the IP address box type 192.168.1.10 and then click on DHCP server disable - apply. (Do both steps then hit apply or you will loose connection and it will be difficult to get back)
    > Now plug the old Hub into the main hub via ethernet or powerline network plugs and voila you have an access point.
    At this point you will have 2 seperate wireless networks broadcasting 2 names (ssid) and using 2 different wireless keys, which itself is not a problem just point your devices at the one you want to connect to and it will work, however now would be a good time to set yourself a nice custom SSID and wireless key that you can remember easily and to do this follow instructions below.
    To set master Hub goto 192.168.1.254 in your browser
    To set slave Hub goto 192.168.1.10 in your browser.
    Instructions are the same for both.
    Goto advanced - wireless - and now set SSID - Wireless key to a custom choice, if you are using the same SSID and Key for both hubs make sure you set the same security type or devices may not be able to connect to one or the other.
    My reccomended set up if you are temporarily substituting the Hub 5 wireless signal with another hub is to set both with the same SSID and Key and then disable the wireless on the Hub 5 until BT issue a firmware fix for the firewall, this will then save you having to set up all your devices again when you choose to use the Hub 5 wireless again, make sure you disable both wireless bands on the Hub 5 when doing this.
    I hope this helps.
