OS X :: Getting Back To 10.6.4 Possible After Updating?
Jan 5, 2011
I just updated to 10.6.5 before the holidays and did not get a chance to use my MP much until now. I'm noticing that my mouse gets stuck and slows down a few times every hour. I've reset my machine, reset the PRAM and SMC. I've also tried my mighty mouse and it does the same thing as my Magic Mouse. I'm certain its the new OS, its minor but really annoying when your'e trying to get work done. Can I revert back to 10.6.4? I did back my system up to my external drive before I upgraded but I've done another backup since then so 10.6.4 backup is gone. Can I download the old 10.6.4 update files and revert back? Or am I stuck like my mouse?

When I update my software (using system update), the computer updates perfectly. However, when the update is completed, the computer turns itself off, instead of restarting like it used to.
After this, when I hit the power button to turn it back on, the power light comes on, but then it turns itself back off again. I usually have to hold the power button in for about 5-10 seconds, and repeat this a couple of times to actually get it to turn on.
I have also noticed that a file in the recycle bin called "recovered files" is being created after the process.
A while back, I made the huge mistake of hitting the power button in the middle of an update (eeeek!) and I think this may have caused the issue.

i am currently using snow leopard, and I am waiting for this summer to update to mountain lion. Right now, I need the a new feature of imovie for my project, so I am thinking about buying Life 11 at this moment. However, I just want to make sure that, will updating my OS X includes updating my imovie, iphoto and everything? If yes, then I probably dont need to buy Life 11 to update my imovie now/

I'm an idiot, pleased to meet you.I had 2 external drives connected to my Macbook Pro, both had time machine back ups on...I meant to delete one of these but deleted the wrong one, and dragged it into Trash. On realising my mistake I tried to drag it back out of Trash, as you would normally but after "preparing to copy" for four hours it told me the drive was full...It's a 500gb drive, and the Time Machine back up is the only thing on it, so presumably it's just trying to copy itself when the back up is still present on the drive, albeit in the Trash.

I unplugged my PowerBook and the screen and backlit keyboard dimmed and then brightened back up. Was there a power surge inside my PowerBook?

i just deleted a file and wanted to use the new glorious "put back" function in SL that moves a trashed file back to it's place.However neither by right-clicking on the file in the trash nor in the file menu there is a "put back" option.Where is it?Edit: Ok i find this very strange. On this particular file there was no "put back" but when i do on another folder/ file there is. WTF?

i finally got my High Res Glossy MBP after 4 weeks of waiting...Everything works fine...and NO yellow tint issue...The only problem is 1 small dead pixel towards the bottom right of the screen...Will apple do an exchange on CTO machines with only 1 dead pixel?Is it even worth doing the exchange? After reading these forums i see that a lot of other users have been complaining about all types of problems...Yellow tint, wifi problems, over heating...etcshould I consider myself lucky? And just be happy that its only 1 small pixel?

There are a gazillion Time Capsule threads and my question is probably answered in one of them. But I've been skimming them and can't find it. Also couldn't find it in the Apple support docs. So...Does anybody know how far back TC backups go? Does it just hold on to the latest backup or can you go back awhile to recover your files?For example, if a file was corrupted six months ago, will I be able to retrieve the prior uncorrupted version of it - or just the latest TC backup version of it (which would of course also be corrupted)?

I have just installed a 3.5� OCZ Vertex 2 SSD into my 2008 MacPro to replace an old HD that contains OSX and applications. I formatted the SDD with Disk Utility then used Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the data from my old HD to to the new SSD.

I 'm using the MacBook Pro. I recieved a following note when I update OS from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6.
"A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again." But connecting is OK. Can you show me what I have to do ?

I'm having a weird problem with the 1.3 version of EMI Firmware Update.
After I restart my computer after installation, everything seems okay. But a couple of days later, Software Update prompts me that I need to install exactly the same firmware update again, as if I hadn't installed it in the first place.

I am trying to update my Macbook Air to 10.5.4, but nothing is happening when its "adjusting the installation", anyone else with the same problem?
I installed the "Macbook Air Update 1.0" before i installed 10.5.4, does it matter?

I have 10.5.8 and I'd like to upgrade to 10.6.8 to play Diablo 3. It seems like I first have to buy and install 10.6 and then need to buy and install 10.7 to upgrade to the latest OS. That seems strange. Do I really need to buy each version? There isn't just one pack I can get?

Basically the Apple updater says that I need to reboot for the installation to complete. When I do nothing happens and 3.1 is still there. I tried downloading the file and it runs, the windows installer window comes up and then goes away. That's it.

The software update on my 2010 mac pro 2.8 quad keeps telling me a new update is available "EFI firmware update". I select to install this, the MP goes through the process but the next time software update runs it comes up with the same EFI firmware update needing doing. Anyone else having this issue?
I have 2x vertex II SSD's, a 2TB WD HD and 16gb of RAM installed (not from apple) could any of these be causing my problem?

I have my work portfolio on iWeb, and a few other sites and am about to start another site, and wanted to check something:
I read somewhere about there not being recent updates for iWeb, and wanted to make sure that nothing drastic is changing, basically that iWeb is still going strong and will be around for a good long time.

Currently running OS X 10.5.8, but need to update to 10.6.8 in order to use new keyboard. Have not been able to find a dowload for this that doesn't require you to already be running 10.6. Do I need to purchase 10.6x in order to update to 10.6.8, and is is possible to download 10.6x online?
