Re: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update Crashing Users' Systems

[Maxwell Ivey]

Hello;  Yes, I did hold down the button, but I 
never heard the long beep, and the machine never 
restarted on its own.  Hope this isn't an 
idication of a hardware problem. Thanks, Max At 09:34 AM 12/18/2008, you wrote:
so did you hold down the power button as instructed?  this may not be
a flaw at all.  in the instance of having to hold down the power
button, you hold it down till you hear a long beep and then continue
till it restarts.

Hello;  I'm one of the unlucky few who has had trouble with the
update.  Mine keeps saying that I need to reset my computer by holding
down the power button.  I'm taking mine to the apple store tomorrow.
Wish me luck.  I've had much better luck with my macbook than I ever
did with my windows notebooks, so I really hope it isn't anything
major to fix.  Good luck to all of you, Max                 At 12:31

 Has the update given you back a copy of ICal?  What does the alert
say when it comes up?…  YOu may need to interact with the calendar
area in the window to read it.

Smiles,

Hi Cara, thanks for that info. The thing is I never use i-cal so why
is it coming up now. Before 10.5.6 i had removed i-cal to save disc
space.

Original message:
 Hi Jeffery, this probably has nothing to do with the update.  The
ICal helper is a function of ICal which alerts you to items /
appointments in your calendar by bringing up a window with the
particular event shown in it.

 So, as I have ICal synced with my calendar in my phone, I'll get
ICal helper coming up from time to time letting me know of upcoming
events / appointments and such.

 this is normal behavior and you might want to check your calendar
to see if anything is set to alert you.

 HTH and have an awesome evening!…

Smiles,

Cara  :)

Hi guys, I updated my mbp to 10.5.6 and something wierd keeps
happening. Usually when online the mac suddenly says ical helper
and
vo-arrow keys go beep. I hit command w or q and nothing happens. I
hit command tab and go back to safari and my mbp acts like nothing
ever happened. I repaired permissions and it still happens.
Regards, Jeff
