Update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 fails with MacPro 2009 and ATI HD 5870

I tried to update my Mac Pro 2009 from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2, after the download and install of 10.8.2 my mac completly hang in a white screen mode with broken graphics. No chance to fix that - i nearly tried everything. All hardware is okay, as i went back to 10.8.1 from a cloned drive.
Yes, the configuration of my mac is complex, here is a list:
Mac Pro 2009  2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
96 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 3x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W
Booting from a Crucial M$ 512MB SSD
Again: All works perfectly fine on 10.8.1.... As I went back through a cloned drive.
BUT it`s impossible to boot the machine even from an attached (firewire) clean installed 10.8.2 (i tried that too)
10.8.2 worls perfectly on my the Mac Book Air, no prblems upgrading at all- BUT did anybody know of a bug - especially related with the ATI HD 5870 in an MacPro 2009 ?? I repeat myself, all works perfectly great on 10.8.1 but there is as of now no chance to go up to 10.8.2 without getting a white blank screen.
So please, did anybody had the same problems with the ATI 5870 ? Or with the Apple Raid Card or Aplle Fibrechannel 2 Port Card? Is it the combination within my Mac Pro?
I would really appreciate any tipp, help or support !
Thanks!!!

After successfully installing 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 - which never worked with 96 GB (6x 16GB) on my Mac Pro, it worked perfectly with reducing the RAM to 48 GB. See posting above.
After the 10.8.2 Update I added again 16GB to a total of 64 GB - WORKED!
Then I tried it again with all 6x 16GB (3x 16 + 3x 16Gb) FAILED ... again the same frozen broken screen on 10.8.2 - whitch works PERFECTLY under 10.8.1 (!!)
Last not least I added 1x 16GB more, so right now I have 3x 16GB on Bank 1 + 2x 16GB on Bank 2 - in total 80GB and it WORKS!!!
The memory is fine ! as i changed the different RAM Modules, so it`s NOT a defective RAM Module. For me right now the solution is either to run 10.8.2 with 80GB OR 10.8.1 with 96GB.
I guess this really has to be a BUG, or has anybody else another idea WHY 96GB RAM work on 10.8.1 and (in my case max. 80 GB RAM) work only in 10.8.2?
Maybe this solves some problems for other with >64GB RAM installed when they want to upgrade from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 .... If you can run your system with more than 80GB PLEASE let me know. Right now I have at least one spare 16GB module.
so that config is working now:
Mac Pro 2009  2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
80 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 2x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W
Booting from a Crucial M$ 512MB SSD

    Need some help! Trying to update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 on MacBook Pro (13 in with Retina display) and somehow it fails. Any ideas?

    Your wait was over yesterday. First you will need to install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 (Combo), then install the new OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 2.0.

    If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

    You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

    When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

    Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Trying to update new iPhone 5S from backup. Apps fail to move

    iPhone 4 ( Updated OS and did a backup before and after OS update)
    Got my new iPhone 5S. 
    Did a normal startup with new phone and selected to restore from backup that was done above.  (iTunes)
    Did this with the option of creating new phone and option of just doing the restore. 
    Tried erasing new phone again and did another backup of old phone.
    Did another startup on new phone. 
    Did another restore.
    Same results. Can't get apps to move over. No apps moved at all.
    PICS/Contacts/Phone calls/Txt messages.  All those moved.
    No apps whatsoever.  I'm sure I'm just not selecting something.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Terry

    I figured it out.
    I didn't have Apps in iTunes at all.
    I needed to move apps from phone to iTunes which I finally figured out.
    Once I did that I was able to sync the apps to new phone.
    instructions on doing this via this chat need to be clearer.
    I'm not an Apple super user and I didn't know I needed to move the apps. I thought hitting sync would work. That only works to move apps from iTunes to device.  At least that's the way it seems.

  • Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 fails to open Bridge and wants to install new version

    Hey community!  I found a few similar posts, but couldn't find much of a resolution. 
    Last night I was working in PS CC 2014 and all was well.  Used Browse from Bridge in PS.  Everything is working fine all night long.  Get up this morning, return to work, click browse in Bridge, and Creative Cloud desktop client pops up and says something about installing a new version of Bridge and will get rid of my old version.  The first time I just though it was an update, so I said sure, install the new version.  Then, CC wanted to update a few other apps (PS being one of them), so I closed down everything, and let it update everything while I got a cup of coffee.  Came back and it looked like everything was finished updating.  So I went back to work.  Same thing happens again when I click browse in Bridge.  I tried going directly to Bridge's launch icon and THAT at least opened the application.  It was still open to the same folder I had been using the night before.  I double-clicked on the PSD I was supposed to be working on, and then Illustrator pops up and is trying to open the PSD.
    ***Ok, so I fixed the association problem with Illustrator trying to open the PSD.  I uninstalled my older version of PS CC last night after I was done working, which apparently broke the "file associations" in Windows.  I just had to go tell Windows to open PSD files with PS CC 2014 (even though 2014 has been installed since it's release and that's all I've been using)***
    Still can't get around the Browse in Bridge issue.  It is not a real big deal TO ME where I click to open Bridge, but it does seem like a bug that needs fixing.
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue when trying to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014. When I click "Browse in Bridge" in Photoshop CC 2014, the Creative Cloud desktop client window opens up and asks "Are you sure you want to install this version of Bridge"?
    Like you, I also thought it was an update so I clicked' "Yes, install this version" option.
    Bridge will launch from the dock icon I have set up, but not from within Photoshop CC 2014.
    Any solutions to this bug anyone?

  • How can i transfer my iTunes library from old computer to new with all artwork and tags intact?

    Is it possible to just copy the iTunes folder on my Windows PC from the old computer to a hard drive and then to the new Mac Book, and have the library look the same?  Importing the files using the "add folder to library" function results in many files coming up with "unknown artist" and/or "unknown album."  But I didn't think just copying the iTunes folder from one computer to the other would work, without somehow also using the "add folder to library" function.
    I know there are other questions on site (one by me, actually), but I was hoping for any more information.  Many thanks, in advance.

    FYI, just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem, I posted another question beginning with the words "How can I get all music "tags" to transfer . . . " which outlines a solution.  Good luck to anyone with the same issue - the transfer can be done!

  • How do I get deleted apps permanently off my phone. I delete the app but when I go to the application icon and update then to purchase I see the deleted apps with a cloud and arrow pointed down. How do I get rid of that.

    How do I get deleted apps off my phone permanently. I deleted it but when I go to application icon then update and hit purchase I still see the apps I deleted with a cloud and a downward arrow. Is there a way to get that off your phone.

    they are deleted permanently off your phone
    but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase

  • Can't reconnect to sync from work - firefox login fails with "Incorrect password" when I know it is correct

    I can happily connect my home computers and phone to sync and I have confirmed they sync between themselves. However, my work computer has recently stopped being able to sync where it has previously been fine for well over a year. I am on the latest version of sync and Firefox 35.0.1 (both at home and work).
    When I try to reconnect to sync I am directed to the "Sign in to continue" page. It has my correct email address/account name. I enter my password (clicking "Show" to make sure it's correct) but then it always fails with "Incorrect password" in a red banner at the top. I have checked the password is correct and logged out and back in from home using the same password so I know that is correct. I have tried this logged in to work via remote desktop so I could do both at the same time to make sure there isn't just a prevailing sync server problem.
    Obviously my work computer is behind a proxy/firewall. I have recently had to add a new certificate as a result of proxy changes to get internet connectivity working. Anecdotally, I think sync stopped working at a similar time - but it's always easy to remember these things differently when you're looking for a solution. So this could be a red herring.
    Your help in getting this fixed would be much appreciated!

    Thanks for your reply.
    i've deleted all cookies, although I don't really understand how that relates. I have also spoken to our sysadmin who says we don't block access to firefox accounts per se, we do block all file-esque uploads. However, I am not sure this would make any difference to the exact problem I am seeing which is that I can't sign in to my firefox sync account. But maybe signing in to this account is different to a "normal" account - maybe there is more of a two way handshake which relies on sending some encrypted data which appears to our proxy like a file being uploaded out of the company.
    I got a slightly different error on my latest clear down and retry, in that the sign in just waited forever (overnight) without success.
    Any further help gratefully received...
