Update to 10.4.9 Gone Badly

After suffering for several weeks with 10.4.8 (software and system crashes all over the place) I tried 10.4.9 tonight.
Things just got worse. After installing the new version of iTunes, the Apple Software Update began installing 10.4.9. I left the room, came back, and discovered that the installation had stopped because of an error (I didn't write it down). So I re-booted and tried again. 99 percent of the way through the 10.4.9 installation, my system crashed. Every time I try to re-boot, the grey Apple appears, the circular rotating thing rotates... then a black rectangle appears in the middle of the screen and everything freezes.
I've run Disk Warrior, but haven't been able to boot back into OS X. The only thing I've been able to do on this computer is boot from my OS 9 disk and then change the Start Up disk to 9.2.2. That's how I've managed to get to this discussion board.
Any theories?
Thanks in advance...

I'm running my HD from a PCI ATA card.
And here's my latest update:
I seem to be in good shape at this point. I'll explain what I've done for future readers.
As someone in another thread mentioned, my B&W can only support one HD. So I replaced the old one with a new 300 gig drive, which I then partitioned into two 149 gig drives. OS 9 loaded fine into the first partition. OS 9.2.2 loaded fine. And Tiger loaded fine. I then upgraded to the 10.4.7 combo and stopped there. (remember that all of my system instability problems started with the 10.4.8 upgrade and then got worse with 10.4.9)
I've bought an external USB HD case, which I plan to use to convert my old HD into an external USB drive. I haven't set it up yet, but my hope is that I'll be able to rescue my e-mail, Safari bookmarks and other info from the original drive. And then I'll be able to use it as a back-up external HD.

Firmware update on DVD Multi Burner gone bad

Hi all,
I just downloaded and tried to update the ODD in my T510, but during the update it just went "FAILED" (despite I followed the instructions to the letter) - and now the ODD is lighting up as a christmas tree all the time. The thinkpad can still detect the drive, so I can reflash the unit, but there is 3 possible firmware files - which one is the correct one?
Firmware
Quote:
GT30N LT10 Serial Ultrabay Enhanced
GT30N LG10 ThinkPad SL410, SL510, L412, L512
GT30N LE10 ThinkPad Egde 14", 15", E40, E50
Now - is it the LT10, LG10 or LE10 I need to reflash with?
I know for a fact that the unit is the GT30N, pulled it out and confirmed it (also the device manager says it is)
The lenovo update utility does not provide me the option anymore to flash the unit sadly.

My 13" early 2011 macbook pro is having trouble connecting back to internet after going to sleep. before updating to EFI 2.7 it was perfect now after updating its gone bad.

Same issue here too. I will try reinstalling the firmware update. This has happend to me twice. The only way to correct the issue was to reboot.
Thanks!

Has my M1424WR router "gone bad"? - and its replacement "bad" out of the box?

I've had Verizon FiOS service for about 3 years now, and have had very few problems with it. A few times I lost internet or TV during storms when lines came down somewhere, but that's about it.
The FiOS installer gave me an Actiontec M1424WR router and access port, with a coax connection to the outside box. I have a multi-room DVR setup (2 DVRs that can "see" each other, and a third read-only STB), so as I understand it I have to use the Actiontec (good bye to my old Linksys router used with my high speed cable service).
I have 4 computers attached directly to the router and up to 8-10 wireless devices (cell phones, tablets, wireless printer, gaming devices, streaming media players, etc.) on my home network. As such, I reset the router's SSID to the same one I had before, with 128-bit WEP security (a 16 char hex key). I also am "advanced" enough to know how to go through the advanced settings and start the DHCP address allocation to start at 192.168.1.100 to allow several of my devices (network storage drive, wireless printer, gaming systems, etc.) to maintain locally static IP addresses like 192.168.1.3 through 192.168.1.9 that reconnect when the router is reset or rebooted.
All this worked beautifully for about 3 years, until last week. The wireless network started dropping out - not just external internet access, but seeing other hosts in the home network - requiring a router reset to come back (or just a disable/re-enable of wireless service via the router settings at http://192.168.1.1). However, the "Wireless" light on the router remains green.
Even the wired internet connection (the computer hooked up with an Ethernet cable, right next to the router) would lose its internet connection for 5-10 seconds at a time before resuming. The multi-room DVR functionality would get spotty, too - until a reset, boxes couldn't see each other, playing back data from another box would be very slow or not come up at all.
After 4 goes of it with Verizon support via chat and phone (the experience of which I won't go into), which included a remote reset of my external access box by Verizon, I concluded that the router must have gone bad.
Last night, I went in person to a Verizon service station near me to swap the router, got back what they said was a "brand new" M1424WR, and installed it... To get the same problem, actually worse. The wireless drops out in about 5 minutes, the light is still green but no wireless hosts can ping each other or anything on the wider internet (like using Speedtest). I can use my wired internet fine (no hiccups there, yet) but my multi-room DVR is not 100%, two boxes can see the other two but one of the DVRs can only see itself.
It seems unlikely but I have to believe this is still a problem with the router box itself, and I just got yet another flaky one back, right? Nothing in my home network has changed (no new devices, services added, firmware updates, etc.) from last Tuesday when it was fine.
Any other ideas for me to try?

Well, I traced it to a "radio problem" with a client device. It was a "Belkin F5D7330 802.11g Wireless Ethernet/Gaming Adapter" I was using to connect a network printer that has only an ethernet port to my wireless network (so I wouldn't have to run CAT5 cable to where the printer is situated).
To do this I had to remove/disable ALL my wireless devices and computers, then add them back in one by one... It was frustrating because I'd forgotten that printer was actually connected wirelessly, I was used to thinking of it as connected via an ethernet cable since I "knew" that's what the printer supported. I even unplugged my 2.4 GHz wireless phone base, which I actually believed to be the culprit. I only remembered the printer's wireless adapter after everything else was removed.
But once I unplugged the Belkin's power, boom, my wireless network was back to normal! And plugging it back in caused the problem again. So it's bye-bye Belkin.

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

I have been using the Firefox feature in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open but see only the set I was working with. I updated and now feature is gone.

Updating another infotype in the in_update badi

Hi Experts.
We are upgrading from 4.6c to ECC.
We are updating a lot of infotypes using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION (passing no_commit = x) in the in_update Badi.
Now when the infotype being updated in the in_update fails, HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION internally issues a ROLLBACK WORK.
See these lines from the FM:
IF RETURN IS INITIAL.
READ TABLE MODIFIED_KEYS INDEX 1.
MOVE MODIFIED_KEYS(8) TO KEY(8).
MOVE MODIFIED_KEYS12 TO KEY8.
ELSE.
IF NOT NOCOMMIT IS INITIAL.
ROLLBACK WORK.
ENDIF.
It worked correctly in 4.6c.
Now in ECC, it starts giving a dump - saying that ROLLBACK work is not allowed within the in_update.
Short text of error message:
ROLLBACK WORK during ON COMMIT or ON ROLLBACK
It sounds logical - but I am not sure how come it was working in 4.6c.
Any work arounds to it? Anyone else also encounter it?
Thanks in adv.

Hi Aishi!
I had a short look inside HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA (in HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION) - seems like there are some call transactions. A call transaction has invariably a commit work inside, so the parameter "nocommit" just defines a "dialog" parameter.
Looks like the logic of the update was changed - or the "in_update" badi wasn't really called in update task earlier.
Best way: search for other ways to update master data (without commits) - at least much better than the risk of additional commits in update task.
BR, Christian

What do i do when iPhoto Deletes my recent pic's all the way to 2010????? i opened the program and it said i needed to update my library otherwise i wouldn't be able to view the images that were not updated-- and now they are gone!!!!!! WHat do i do!!!!!!

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Content engine fan gone bad? How to check health?

We deployed a CE-511 to a remote site.
The site contact told me one of the fans may have gone bad cause it sounds like "someone getting a tatoo".
"show power" or "show environment" doesn't work on the content engine.
I can't find anything in the syslog either.
Could someone please tell me how I can check the health / status of the system fans?
thanks.

Hard Drive Gone Bad (2nd one)

I have a macbook, purchased in May of 2006. I have already replaced the harddrive once and it has gone bad again. I have a flashing folder with a question mark upon start up.
I do not have the extended warranty, but am concerned about putting in a new drive to have it go bad in a year. Have there been reports of the heat causing hard drive issues. I have also had to replace the battery as it lost power to quickly.
I have another macbook that was purchased at the same time that has never had any problems. I want to know about any related issues when I take my computer to Apple tomorrow.

Took the computer in today. I asked if the drive was a Saegate, indicating that I knew about the problems with the drive. He pulled it out. Yup, the Seagate model. I explained I knew it was out of warranty, but wanted to know what they would do.
He checked with someone and they are replacing the drive for me at no charge. I was very nice, never acted like I expected anything. But I also made sure to mention this was the second drive to go bad, that my child's mini mac had a bad motherboard after a month. Yet we own three apple computers and three iPods. I think being nice about it and a good customer helped me.

Scanner gone bad?

Hello all,
My nice niece is sending me photos to do something with for her wedding. She is scanning them at about 300 dpi and then emailing a few to me to look at before burning them all to disk and mailing them to me. I am opening in Preview then iPhoto.
They all look poor quality though in email. Horizontal lines and blotchy and pixelized etc.., Is this due to email doing something to them or are there some signs of a scanner gone bad that we could look for?
Thanks,
Al

Al:
Does she see the horizontal lines on the pictures also? If not then it's being introduced by the emailing. If that's the case have her try to zip the file before emailing - Control-click on the file and select "Create Archive of xxxxx" from the Contextual menu. Then email that archive file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Firewire gone bad

firewire gone bad.
Ireciently have hd issues with my g4 power mac in regards to its firewire connection. I reciently purchased an adio interface, a m-audio firewire 410 which runs via firewire. I was warned that this device could potentially harm my fire wire port. Reciently my computer will shut down when I plug the cable in. My computer also will nit recognize my m-audio interface which makes it usless to me at this point. My question is...
Does this seem like an issue with my firewire port or the device I'm using or both. Also I would love to know what need to do to resolve this issue.
Ryan

Try a Firewire PCI card..... it's a cheap experiment to do
But are you sure that is the Mac and not the FW410?
Maybe are just the M-Audio drivers....
