OS X :: Upgrade Via Software Update To 10.6.2 And It Went Bonkers?
Nov 10, 2009
my iWeb is all screwed up after the 10.6.2 upgrade.i work on it everyday and yesterday was no exception, save it was on 10.6.1 and everything was OK. did the upgrade via software update to 10.6.2 and it went bonkers.- some links are broken. others are misplaced.- objects (arrows, photos, etc.) randomly placed throughout webpage.- text boxes resized on its own.- "save" = crash!it's a nightmare.
what's happened to apple's software updates? they used to be really good and i could always trust it. sigh. anyone else with this problem? or can offer a solution?
I have been having a problem that is not application-specific, and not Lion specific. This only happens on my 2009 iMac 24 running Lion 10.7.4. (I also run Lion on my 2011 MBP and have not had this problem.) It doesn't matter whether I'm in iTunes, Safari, Logic, Pages... running applications alone or in combination.It doesn't happen right away. It's usually after I've been active on the computer for at least an hour. I will try to describe it the best way I can:
1. I could be browsing Safari, for instance. I'll notice that a small section of my desktop starts "growing" red, green, and/or blue pixels. If left untouched, the pixels overtake about 70% of the display until the computer freezes. Now, if i click anywhere on my screen -- in Safari or on the desktop -- whatever the mouse is pointing at will redraw itself. Meanwhile, the screen starts blinking rapidly and basically, has a tantrumI can't Force Quit, Restart, Shut Down, or any other activity. The only solution is to power it down using the power switch.
2. I'm working on music in Logic Pro. When I have Logic running, it usually spans the entire display. Within the Logic screen I'll see a small section of these red, green, and/or blue pixels. (Well by now, I know what's coming so I immediately save my work before the system freezes.) I quit out of Logic, but the pixels continue to take over my desktop. If left on it's own it starts going berserk as described above. Eventually the system freezes and I have to power down
This started happening last month. Two things happend last month: (a) I switched my internet service and combined my internet connection with my land line. I had previously been using a dedicated line for internet. (b) My service agreement expired on the iMac... go figure!
I want to upgrade memory on my MBP with model no: MD313LL/ late 2011 to 8gb.What is the best ram to upgrade and how to do it. In crucial, I only found the 16gb ram. url...Can I upgrade to 8gb which is compatible to early 2011? url..
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I have an upgrade question also. I have an older PowerMacG4 dual 1.25. Im running OS 10.4.11, it appears that I may be able to upgrade to 10.5. But will I be able to update to 10.5.8, it says that anyone running OS 10.5 can update, but I am unclear, as I thought I read that this requires and intel chip to do so.
Need to update my system so that I can sync and update my iPhone 4 that requires iTunes 10.1, which I can not install now.
I'm having difficulty downloading the newest software for my iPhone. Everytime I try to download the new software a dialogue box appears that says my iTunes is updated to the current version (9.2.1). First of all, why is that appearing at all? And second of all I know for a fact there are more recent versions of iTunes out there...I've seen it. So problem A: my iPhone software won't download so I can update it, I'm assuming I need to download the latest version of iTunes which brings me to Problem B. When searching for the latest update for iTunes, I can download it on my computer but it won't install because it's saying I need to update my OS to 10.5 or higher.
So...do I need to upgrade my OS in order to update my iPhone software and is there a way to go from 10.4.11 to 10.5 for free? If not why do I have to, in the end, pay to update my iPhone software now when I haven't done that since the beginning?
Btw my computer is a MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor.
New update for Logic released today, unfortunately it strips out hyperthreading support that previously worked on quad mac pro and iMac i7 machines, causing a major drop in performance from the previous version. I would wait on upgrading until they have a 9.1.3 that fixes this major issue, or at the very least back up 9.1.1 before doing the upgrade.
Since upgrading from Jaguar to Leopard, I've been having no end of problems with Software Update. I installed to a clean drive from a 10.5.1 installation disk, but it gave old versions of iTunes and Safari, and Software Update showed that everything was current, even though 10.5.5 was available. I had to download all of those manually. After that, I got one Software Update list that was fairly long, and installed everything properly.
But since then, it's gone wonky again. It takes about 10 minutes to figure out what updates are available, and then it refuses to download them, claiming that it can't find the update server and to make sure I'm connected to the internet. My attempt tonight didn't even show Safari 3.2.
I'm thinking of buying my first Mac ever pretty soon. I can get an educational discount and also get a free iPod Touch if I buy before September 15. I understand that Snow Leopard will be available "in September" so I will have to receive it separately if I buy my Mac between now and then. So, I've never owned Macs before, so I'm wondering how the upgrade from Leopard -> Snow Leopard will happen. Is it like Windows where you can choose to do a "clean installation" or an "in-place" upgrade? Coming from the Windows world, I tend to lean more towards clean installations.
I promise to do my best :-)Could someone help me understand the difference between Â
1. An iMac 27" ( the computer ), a keyboard, a trackpad etc Â
2. An Apple screen 27" plus the most advanced MacBook Pro Â
As a matter of fact, I live on board an expedition vehicle, and mainly visiting the middle of nowhere. [URL]..How would I do the updates of a heavy iMac computer ?with the MacBook pro, I could go "to town" from time to time, and upgrade/update.
Regarding the work I do with my photos, is there a big difference between 1. and 2.ps that question might be strange (or stupid ) the fact is that, I don't have an Apple Store as a neighbor
how to obtain a bigger memory for my imac so that I can upgrade to OSX LIon and then to icloud? My imac currently has 1 Gb memory and I need 2 Gb apparently. Apple can no longer supply a 2 Gb memory. I will need to knowe hwre to buy a suitable memory and how to change it.
I am kicking around between upgrading video card in my 1st gen Mac Pro (2 x 2.66 dual core, 8gb ram) from 7300 Gt to ati 4870 vs. upgrading to a newer system altogether...
Newer MP has 2 x 2.66 quad cores, 12 gb ram with the 4870 card.) What kind of improved performance might I really expect or even notice when using photoshop, light video editing, 3d graphics.
I have not included costs because I want to focus on the performance boosts sans cost for the purpose of this discussion.
I have an iMac with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2.4 GH2 Intel Core 2 Duo processor.I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can use iCloud to share documents with my iPad.Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first or can I upgrade directly to Lion?
Looking at getting a 13" MPB to replace my aging Macbook. I am aware of the imminent arrival of the next gen next year, but still seriously considering getting a current gen.
Anyway, I am debating between getting the 2.66GHz version with 4GB RAM and the 2.4GHz version with 8GB RAM. I already have a 500GB 7200rpm HDD which I will transplant into it. Some stage in the next year or so I will look into getting an SSD and optibay for it.
I know that if I get the faster processor I can upgrade the RAM at a later date, but is the faster processor worth the money, or would I be better spending on RAM?
Maybe this isn't the correct forum...I'm a newbie. Today, after checking and installing upgrades to my iMac OS X, I'm seeing a pop-up saying 'my existing messages need to be upgraded the first time I use Mail again." I'm not sure what it intends to do to my Mail messages and I'm slightly fearful because many of them are Outlook Express messages that were transferred from my old PC. Anyone gone ahead and done this 'mail upgrade' yet? and did you have any issues?
My mac is up to date with mavericks 10.9.3 but the mail application won't upgrade since when I open it a message appears "upgrading your mail database... this make take a few minutes" but it just freezes. I have tried restarting the app, the mac and I dont know what else to do.

I went to BB and bought the upgrade for my MBP running Leopard but I decided I would try to install it on my Tiger running iMac almost possitive it would not work. It however worked and even installed faster (1/3 the time) of my MBP with more Ram and better processor. So it is definitely done
I am curious about the system requirement of Snow Leopard. Since the performance and speed are better on SL, I think Snow Leopard will consume a little bit more resource of our macs., although I know Snow Leopard is just only the refinement of the software.
So, my question is that WILL YOU UPGRADE YOUR RAM OF YOUR MAC?
Yesterday Apple released Safari 5.0.1 and Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0, but Software Update on my Mac makes me able to download only the first one (Safari 5.0.1) - which I did. Why can't it find the Multi-Touch Trackpad Update?
- My MacBook is fine (it's 13-inch, Mid 2009).
- My OS is fine (Mac OS X v10.6.4).
Sure, I can download it manually, BUT it makes me really annoyed if something on my Mac works not as good as it should.
I have problems since applying the latest security Update 2009-001 and Java 10.5 Update 3, I have 10.5.6 on the new unibody 2.4ghz and have completely lost the ability to connect to my wireless access point which is an apple airport extreme base station.
I can sometimes se the base station but cannot connect to it and sometimes cannot see it at all. I have three other apple computers at home all less then a year old running the same build of 10.5.6 but have not updated them and they all are fine.
This one was perfect untill I applied the update.
The machine I am having problems with is partitioned with windows 7 beta on it which has no problems connecting to the base station, which indicates that its not a hardware problem but more then likely the update which is causing the problem.
Is there a way to uninstall the last update or delete it? Any one with a similar problem or know how I can fix it, I have googled but cannot seem to find anyone with similar problems.
I was wondering whether to update the nvidia drivers from time to time, is this done through and included in the normal 'software update' from the top-left apple menu bar or do I have to go to the nvidia site and manually update each time?
I updated with the latest Lion patch yesterday and since then Entourage has either hung or taken a very long time to update from our 2003 Exchange server (I have MS Office 2011 but as you're probably aware, there are issues integrating with a 2003 Exchange server). how this might be fixed, short of updating both our 2003 Windows Server to Windows Server 2008 x64 and Exchange to 2010 so I (the only Mac user out of 85 staff) can use Outlook 2011?
If I create a smart playlist in itunes and deselect live updating then how exactly does the smart playlist load up?
The reason I ask is that started setting up Smart Playlists for all of the artists on my computer and they're all set to live update which is consequently slowing down my itunes. I realize that I may not necessarily need that. My question is though...how exactly would I go about manually updating a smart playlist that has live updating turned off?
Started the 10.7.4 install, and it halted. Turned my Mac off, started it back up, and apparently the 10.7.4 update didn't install, but it has caused the Mail function to not work AT ALL - I get a long error report that is auto sent to Apple.Â
I downloaded Lion from the Apple store, but have my Snow Leopard disk. How do I go about re-installing Mail?Â
