Update to 10.4.3 now hangs my system all the time -- how do I fix this?

I've read so many threads in these forums. I've run repair disk / Disk Utility, I've run repair permissions/Disk Utility, I've run Cocktail's Pilot daily, even hourly, and restarted each time in order to remove cache files and STILL I have my system crashing constantly. It doesn't matter whether I'm using Mail, Safari or any other application that doesn't access the Net. It happens whether I'm hooked up to the Net or not.
I need to post this quickly before it hangs again. This happened right after I updated to 10.4.3. Anybody got any suggestions? I'm getting desperate enough to return to my XP machine which is turning out to be more reliable. I don't want to do that. Help?!

Thanks for your comments. No, the Sonnet board is fully compatible with Tiger, no firmware updates are necessary. And it's freezing cold in my office, plenty of air around the Cube, heat can be a problem, for sure.
I was using MacJanitor first, then switched to Cocktail per some one else's recommendations here in the forum. I'll check out the utilities you mentioned.
It's such a p-i-t-a to backup, erase and do a clean install. It seems to me that this update is the worst to have ever come out of Apple. There are posts all over the place with the problems it is causing everywhere. [sigh]
Thanks for your help.

Hi Will555uk,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly, I recommend starting with step three in this troubleshooting guide:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

kathieaross,
click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

Im trying to download the newest version of itunes but it keeps saying "The older version of apple software update cannot be removed." and wont let me finish the download, how can I fix this?

It keeps doing it over and over again, how can I fix this?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

I tried updating my macbook software and now I have a black blank screen, how do i fix this?

I was updating my computer and after the restart my computer had a complete black and blank page. I know that it is on because I was able to take a CD out but I just cannot see anything. PLEASE HELP!

What were you upgrading? I mean was this a new OS like Mavericks or just some application upgrade?
Try restarting the machine and holding down the Command and R keys. Does it boot to the Recovery partition and can you see it? That at least tells if this is a hardware problem.

Just updated to Firefox 8, can only connect 1 User at a time, how can I fix this so both users can connect to Firefox at the same time??

I have just upgraded to Firefox 8. I have 2 user accounts on my computer. Since the upgrade, only 1 user can access Firefox at a time. I am able to use IE on 1 and Firefox on the other. I have to close Firefox on 1 user before I can open it on the 2nd.

I also have gone back to V 7, which fixed the issue. I have stopped the automatic updates so the issue doesn't hapen again.

Updated Scrabble on my iPad now it crashes when I open app, how do I fix without losing games I am playing now?

Updated Scrabble on my iPad, now it crashes when I open. How do I fix, without losing games I am playing now?

I have a similar issue. I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6. All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566. All apps worked perfectly under 10.5. Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
(BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps. Could this be related?)

I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan. What do I need to do?

I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
Sorry but you lost your money.

Thanks for the link. It is a wealth of good info. I still haven't been able to determine what caused my crash, but with the link you provided I should be able to track it down. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. After using the power button and rebooting all seems ok now. Thanks again.
