Updating 10g in OSX Problem

It seems as if every time I install an update to 10g on my OSX machine I must start the program twice -- the installation is done in the first restart and then the program will actually start the second time. Here is the console from the latest Faces install:

Hi Paul,
I believe you can still buy Appleworks at the Apple
Store. It cost $79.00 There is a native OS X version.
Of course, it has not been updated in quite a while
and may not be as it appears as though the iWork
package is going to be its replacement.
By the way, do you live in the U.S. ? If not, that
updater may not work for you as I believe it only
works on the U.S. version of Appleworks.
Al, You said that "There is a native OS X version." Does that mean that there is an AW 6 application on the install discs that come with the OS X package?
As you may have seen from my previous post, I had an Apple authorized service center install my OS X, as I don't have the knowledge or confidence to try it myself. Don't know how he did it, as I don't have DVD or Firewire. Nonetheless, I have ordered the Install CDs from the Apple Media Exchange program, and am awaiting thier delivery. Once I have them in my hands, I suppose I can insert them and check to see if I can just install AW6. Can I hope that it wil be this easy?
Thanks for your help.
Paul

Officejet Pro K5400 printing problems after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9

Hi,
I have printing problems with my Officejet Pro K5400 after update to Mavericks OSX 10.9.
Now after printing 1 page the printer prints an extra page with '2345X' sentence on it. As this problem started right after updating, I suppose there is a problem with an update.

This patch did solve our problem with the K5400 feeding a "blank sheet".
Thank you.

Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5

Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?

Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.

Photoshop CS5 crashes when trying to print. I recently updated to Mac OSX Mavericks. Help?

Photoshop CS5 crashes when trying to print. I recently updated to Mac OSX Mavericks. Help?

Hi, Chris. Thanks for giving this query a look. I have the same problem. All documents print on my HP Deskjet 932C except Photoshop files since I updated to Mavericks.
My CS5 version is 9.0 x64. Mavericks is 10.9.4.
I checked the HP drivers and HP doesn't have one for OS X newer than 10.4.
I tried printing out the detailed report (very long!) and this page rejected the reply as spam. Can we provide the text as an attachment?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Update Not Verified?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Getting a message half way through the download stating the updated "could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading." Any ideas for picking up the latest Update?
Uploading screenshot.... any advice appreciated.
Matt

Either try redownloading or try downloading the standalone updater: OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
Such errors may be caused by glitches in your Internet connection or because of hard drive problems. I suggest you try the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

OSX problems, can't reinstall!!

I have a Macbook pro, it's about a year and a half old, and up until yesterday I've had no problems. Now I can't get my Macbook to start.
Here's the problem and what I've done so far:
My computer was in the middle of installing a software update when it froze. It couldn't recover, and I had to force a shut down (by holding the power button).
When I rebooted, it loads the page with the apple logo and a spinning disk, but won't get any farther than that, even after sitting for half an hour to an hour.
Once, during this sitting process, it's gone to a black screen with white writing. The error code that comes up is something like (and I could be wrong/missing something, it wasn't up long and I was writing it down as quick as I could)
Launchd com.apple.nibindd
bad system call
too many failures will couse job removal
It cycles through this a bunch of times with a countdown, and then when it has two tries left before 'job removal' it freezes.
When I booted up in safe mode it loaded. I went to manually reinstall the updates that it had been working on, but it told me that it couldn't because it required Mac OSX 10.5 (at this point after previous updates I was running Mac OS X 10.4.9). I deleted the downloaded updates at this point, uninstalled Firefox and msn (both programs have caused minor problems in the past), backed up my really important data, cleared out my recyling bin, researched for new updates, and it found none available. I then rebooted normally. It still wouldnt' load.
I then tried resetting my PRAM/NVRAM and it was successful-it rebooted on it's own after resetting, and for the first time made the Apple start up sound on reboot. I thought it was fixed, but again-just sits at the apple screen.
I then loaded my OS X disk, and run the hardware test. Everything comes back fine.
I restarted, and loaded from the disk again. I accessed the disk utility. I tried to verify permissions, but partway through it loses connection with the disk management tool and forces me to exit. It did this three times before I gave up verifying the permissions. I went straight to 'repair permissions' and after 'thinking' for a bit it told me there was nothing to repair. I then verified the disk, it told me everything was fine, I repaired anyway, and again everything was fine.
I tried restarting again, nothing.
I went back into disk utility and told it to reboot from HD (to ensure it wasn't attempting to boot through a network connection, etc), but no luck.
Finally, at my wits ends, I wiped my harddrive. I then reinstalled OS X but something isn't working. It first verified my installation DVD, that went fine. It then installed, but it never asked me to insert the second disk (even though it told me to have the second disk ready at the beginning of the install). After reaching 100% of the installation it forced me to reboot. I followed the instructions, rebooted, and it STILL just sits at the apple loading screen. The only difference is that now I can't get it to boot up in safe mode.
Help? I dont' know what else to do. Or what the problem could be. I need it fixed ASAP (I'm a uni student and this is my computer-I have two essays to write over reading week and can't really do it without my Mac!) so I'm reluctant to send it back to an Apple shop unless I've exhausted all options (I've heard horror stories from friends about ridiculous wait times), especially since this computer stopped being covered by a warrenty 3 months ago (the irony!). Any help is appreciated!!

Hey thanks for the reply!
1) To be honest, I'm not very tech-savy. I ordered my Mac online almost 1.5 years ago, and since I don't install any programs on it I've never really checked the specs-Beyond knowing that it has a 120G harddrive. Since I can't get back into safemode now I don't know how else to check my hardware specs. I believe it's just above 2GHz (like...2.15 or something), and I believe it has 2G RAM, but again...no way to double check that right now.
6/7)I realize now I should have purchased an extended warrenty, at the time it was simply a lack of cash-I'm kicking myself now. And the only bad stories I've heard were from two separate friends-one sent their ipod in to a Toronto office and didn't get it back for 6 months, the other sent their iMac in and didn't get it back for 2-3 months...both those were a Toronto outlet though, so I'm thinking I might have more luck at my school (I've found out they have an authorized reseller at McMaster). I don't know anyone else that's ever sent anything into Apple besides them, so I was a little hesitant to send it off based on what they said, but if that's not a common issue then I will most definitely bring it in on Monday if it's not fixed.
5) Good advice, I never realized updates could cause a problem until now...the installation just pops up on it's own when it's connected to the internet and I always allow the installation to continue.
I'm going to try erasing and reinstalling based on what you said, I'll let you know if it was a success. If not, is there a possibility it could be a hardware issue? Or is it most likely software related?
Thanks again!

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

I have Itunes on my computer, however its an older version and it says I can no longer update it. My problem is im considering buying an Iphone 5, but if it is running on a new version what will happen when I sync it to my itunes account?

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

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
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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.
