Update and membership screen problems

Photoshop Elements9.03 update won't install. Adobe AIR support advisor says there is no problem.
a 2nd problem, I just installed this version in my laptop and my membership screen doesn't load. If I go to the internet and enter my url. it is there. I have gone to my Welcome screne and opened it, and it doesn't accept my correct password.

I had the problem before the firmware update, and I still have it. It's peculiar because the sound controls work and you get feed back when you hit the space or return key, indicating that there's a software jam somewhere; and the keyboard lighting works.
At first I went through shut down and restart using the on/off button.
Current strategy is to wait a while, then shut the lid, wait until the sleep light goes on, then lift the lid again, and hit the return button. There's some very subtle changes in the whirring and clicking and then the screen comes back on. Sometimes it seems to come on after I lift the lid the second time without my having to hit the return button.
I'm suspicious of the sudden motion sensor, since this usually happens after I've picked up the MacBook Pro and put it on my lap; but I haven't shut that off yet and tested it. There are, I think, some threads under the "Power and Batteries" forum that may be discussing the same thing.

Update and blank screen problem

Hi I recently was having the problem were my 8800 would get a blank screen and the red led would blink and the phone would not turn on. I pulled the battery and let it sit and it started to work again. After experiencing this I decided to connect my phone and back it up and try to update the software. I downloaded the bbdm and started to update my phone. I get to the point in the update " loading system software" Gets about half way though and stops completely. I let the phone sit for 2 hours and hasnt made any progress. I then disconnected it and re connected it and tried the update again. Same problem doesnt make it past loading system software. Im really at a lost. any ideas??? thanks

I recently had the same issue when I upgraded to the 4.5 OS. Blackberry had me pull the battery and run the loader.exe program. It solved my problem. You have to keep the battery out until it asks to initialize.
I hope this helps

Have been running version 4 for a week without problems. Today, downloaded MS live security update, and have had problems since. when I click on a favorite site, it takes 20 to 40 seconds before the page load's and the same if I click a link on the page.

10.4.7 update and external firewire problems with HD corrupion

Dear all,
Advised by Jpfresno I started this new topic about Tiger 10.4.7 update.
I will repeat my post and what was happening 2 weeks ago:
“In 5 years 10.4.7 update was a tragedy for my Powerbook Ti 667. When I update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 my 300 GB firewire drive gets corrupted, after repairing it with DiskWarrior and after connecting it to my PowerBook my computer freezes and I must shut it down via powerbutton. Safari also crashes after the update.
I just erase my Hard Drive and after that install 10.4 and update with combo to 10.4.7. But I had the same problems: finder freezes with connected firewire devices and also safari when browsing. I spend a week trying to solve the problem but no luck.
Yesterday and with no firewire devices, 10.4.7 freeze and I have big trouble in order to started my powerbook!!! Even when i insert the 10.4 install DVD it did not detected my HD. Finally I get it to work and install 10.4 and combo update to 10.4.6 and everything works. My external firewire drive and safari. I already diagnose my HD with disk utility, TechTool and directories with Diskwarrior and everything is ok.
I clone my 10.4.6 to firewire, boot from it and everything is working. I let my external drive connected and finder does not freeze.
My conclusion is that the problem is 10.4.7 update. It only give me problems and I was getting crazy with it. 10.4.6 is working good and I do not advice anyone to update to 10.4.7.”
Last week after reinstalling 10.4.6 I started to have HD problems with my Powerbook 667. I did a surface scan with TechTool I it reported bad sector. Then I done a zero disk format but after a second surface scan TechTool also reported bad sector. Then I take the decision to replace my internal HD. I bought a Samsung 40GB Hard Drive and installed it on my PowerBook. Then I have done a clean installation of 10.4.6 with all applications that I need and clone it to my hard drive with Intego Personal Backup software. Everything works on 10.4.6. and external firewire drive.
After that everything is ok. But I decided to test if my problem derivates from 10.4.7 update or from previous HD corruption. Then I install 10.4.7 update on my Internal Hard Drive. Everything is working good but after connecting my external Hard Drive the finder started to freeze!!!!!!!!!. After that I tried cloning HD to external firewire with Intego personal Backup. Everything was working good but when it was finishing the backup process started to give errors!! I started panic. I interrupted the backup process but after and after restart I found something strange with 10.4.7. The system started up, I login but I could not started any application!!!??? All my application died!
Then I have done one more clean installation of tiger and 10.4.6 update.
My conclusions are that the 10.4.7 update causes all the problems that I have on my PowerBook, because I used the same methods and same software/hardware on 10.4.6 and did no have any problem.
This last two weeks were very difficult to me. I tough that these problems do not happen with Apple computers but I was wrong!!! It is very hard to me to deal with it. I always said to my friends that I never had problems with Apple computers. I accept that a hard drive died because the use of it but I can not accept that a system update cause me 2 weeks of hard problems and make me loose precious work information! I always love apple computers and Apple OS but now I am disappointed
If anyone can explain what happen or have a solution for those problems?
Thanks for the comprehension and collaboration.
Best Regards

Hi, alsvieira.
There are some things you did not check in all of your troubleshooting:
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
2. re: FireWire troubleshooting: Here is some general troubleshooting advice that may help if problems return with your FireWire drive:1. Review the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device".
2. If this problem occurred after installing a recent Mac OS X Update, and you are also unable to mount CDs, DVDs, or disk images perform the steps in this Mac OS X Hints article. This worked under Panther and may also work in certain situations under Tiger.
3. Power-on the FireWire drive before starting up (booting) your Mac.
4. Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
5. Resett the power-management chip in your Mac.
6. Try a different FireWire port. James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech, has published FireWire Port Failures in Host Computers and Peripheral Devices, a white paper providing backgroud information and technical analysis concerning the causes of failure for FireWire ports. This may provide additional diagnostic information.
7. Micromat TechTool Pro version 4 can test the FireWire bus in your computer: this tests the bus — not the ports — but if the problem is on the FireWire bus on the logic board, it should reveal it.
8. Check with the manufacturer of your FireWire drive or enclosure to see if any firware updates are available for such.
9. Hopefully, the partition map on the FireWire drive is not damaged. This can happen if the FireWire drive was not Ejected before being disconnected or powered off. If it still refuses to mount, you may need to employ data recovery tools or services: see my "Data Recovery" FAQ.Note that some of the information above is from the "FireWire Problems" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X.

I am trying to buy an app. I had to update my credit card info. It won't take the update and the screen is frozen - I cannot go back into the app store.

I am trying to buy an app on my Iphone5. I needed to update my credit card info. It wont take the updated info and the screen is now frozen. I cannot go back into the app store

It's a network issue, not an account balance issue. Troubleshoot your network or just restart your iPod and/or router, try connecting to the Store a bit later, or try the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync the purchase to your device.

Safari 3.1 Update and Shift key problem in Gmail

The problem of the new 3.1 Safari update and its affect on the shift key in Gmail is all over this forum and the Gmail forum. Is anyone from Apple seeing this? This seems a very convoluted way to let Apple/Gmail know about it. It would be good if one could just email Apple with the problem - or even phoning !! instead of one having to join two discussion groups to find out what is going wrong after a frustrating day trying to send Gmails and only being able to send them in lower case. I joined the Mac world to get away from the Microsoft approach to support, but am a little disappointed that there are so many hoops to go through to find an answer to a problem that has sprng up as a result of a Safari update.

That matter is being discussed in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1447355&tstart=0
Where to send product feedback to Apple:

You can also email Gmail and ask them to repair their application.

Grey and Blue Screen problems

Mac Pro 1,1; 10.6.4
On attempting to start up recently I got a screen in alternating shades of blue.
Trying to boot to a bootable CD gives me a 'you need to restart' grey screen.
Booting to the diagnostic works and finds no problems.
Booting in firewire target mode allows access to the HD and repaired some errors with diskutility but did not change symptoms. Subsequent checks show no errors.
Booting to an ubuntu livecd worked fine with generic graphics drivers (up to date drivers available but require a reboot).
Booting into safe mode has the blue screens alternating with a black screen with a white rectangle in the top left (about the size of an old terminal cursor).
Zapping PRAM doesnt seem to change anything.
Recent upgrades include +4GB RAM which I have removed and errors remain with the original 1GB RAM (2x512)
I have also replaced the graphics card recently, GT 8800 stopped working and I replaced it with another GT 8800.
The help pages on blue and grey screens seem to be mutually exclusive but both discuss removing peripherals and non Apple hardware.
Per above, I have tried the diagnostic/safe/boot CD options mentioned in both and the only option I cant try is removing the graphics card (unless there is a way to test a successful boot without a screen?)
I suspect it is either a graphics fault which ubuntu doesnt mind but OSX does, or a more complex disk corruption.
The next option appears to be erasing the disk with firewire/diskutil and attempting a fresh install (not sure why this would remedy the kernel panic on booting from CD).
Some logs have been populated in Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, I can post fragments as required but am unable to interpret atm.
Any suggestion appreciated.

Seems hardware related and you would get more direct responses if you posted in the appropriate Mac Pro forum:

ITunes update and full screen

OK - so I just got the latest iTunes update, and then tried the 'full screen' button - fine, but how do I get it to not be full screen? Escape doesn't work, and I can't find a window button. Help.
Also, I love that full screen apps are 'new'. Anyone remember DOS???

Tracking this to see what advice you get ... I have the same issues!

Cabal18

Hello Cabal18
So the screen goes blurry or fuzzy during updates? Are you doing Windows updates? Also what kind of updates are installing? Some times when installing updates it is common for the screen to become fuzzy and/or even shut off for a moment, or until the process is complete.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

10.6.3 and full screen problems!

Ever since updating to 10.6.3 I can't view any videos or photos in full screen mode...firefox, safari, iPhoto, preview, etc all just give a black screen (though I can still hear audio from videos). Extremely frustrating! In iPhoto, if I double click a photo to view it, it now does absolutely nothing...full screen mode just shows a black screen (I also can no longer edit photos). I am also having major permissions problems with windows smb servers (and have tried fixing permission several times).
Anyone else having this problem?

I've heard of the Windows SMB issues but not a solution.
Regarding the full screen issue(s), do you have any external displays and what resolution are you using? Maybe you have some QuickTime plugins that aren't compatible? Check /Library/Quicktime/.
Do you have another system to test with?
What version of iPhoto? (X.y.z version format)
If you have switchable graphics in the Energy Saver, try switching and logging out. If you haven't restarted, try that. Full screen videos in your browser may be Flash. See if there's a later Flash plug-in from Adobe.
Good Luck!

7.1.1 Update and Locked Screen Stopwatch

After I completed the 7.1.1 update, when I start a stopwatch and lock my phone, it will no longer show the time remaining on the locked screen when wake my phone up.
This was working properly before the update.

[UPDATE]
Sorry about misleading you and anyone on this forum. I should have double checked what was really wrong with my phone before posting this. It was not the stopwatch that had a problem of not showing on the lock screen, but it was the Timer that did not show on the lock screen after the 7.1.1 update. After I did a reboot (shutting the device of and power it back on), this corrected the issue and now I see the Timer on the lock screen.

Satellite L840 - BIOS update and blue screen

Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04E (PSK8LA- O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64bit.
Issue: BlueScreen
Question: I assume this is the dreaded "blue screen of death" and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I've used the laptop lightly for a couple of days with no issues).
How do I analyze the dump information to find out what caused the blue screen?
Or is it best to go back to the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made before I updated the BIOS from v 1.80 to 6.20. Also, Toshiba shows that there is a new BIOS 6.30 version.
Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting for the on/off button to "shut down" and made a few minor other changes to settings and then just before the blue screen error I plugged in a Seagate External Hard Drive.
Are there any suggestions about what steps I should take?
Thanks so much.
April

Hi
Generally the BSOD appears due to serious software problem or hardware problem.
You said you connected an external USB HDD to the notebook right before the BSOD appeared so probably the BSOD was caused by the attached HDD who knows
If this happened for the first time, dont be afraid it could be just a temporal problem
But if it would appear often, you should investigate a little bit and should try to replicate the issue and the reason for that

10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

Dear All,
I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
What do you think about it???
MacBook and MacMini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.
