10.6.2 combined update seems to have no effect

Hello all,
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.0) from Leopard (10.5.8) and everything looked pretty good. However, I've tried to install the "10.6.2 combined update" through Software Update two times now and it doesn't seem to have worked either time. I get no error message, but after my computer restarts the "About This Mac" window still shows a system version of 10.6. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Combo update is not available via Software Update.
yes, it is if you are upgrading directly from 10.6. that's exactly what the OP got via software update.

  • Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

    I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
    I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
    I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
    However I have another issue with theming.
    Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
    I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
    I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
    If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

    Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
    1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
    [Settings]
    gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
    gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
    gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
    Thanks to the info on the thread here
    2.  Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
    What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
    What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
    I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
    I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

  • Illustrator crashing after 16.0.1update, 16.0.2 update seems to have fixed it

    I am running win7 with latest updates, running Illustrator (64-bit) from CS6 Web and Design Premium Suite.
    Illustrator crashed 6 times this week after installing the updates from the end of last week (update 16.0.1). The updates that were released today seem to have fixed it, although I cannot absolutely confirm this.
    I have spent the past hour trying to break the software doing the same tasks that caused crashes earlier this week, and then far more extreme tasks then I would ever actually do or need to do, and have not been able to recreate the same crash problems.
    I have been using Illustrator for nearly 15 years, it's been very rare that I've ever experienced an illustrator crash like what was happening after the 16.0.1 update. I didn't have time to troubleshoot the issue until today, fortunately the 16.0.2 update seems to have resolved the issue. If the issue returns I will follow up with another post - it's rare though that I find an article that says "I've had this problem, but it looks like you fixed it". Thank you Adobe for the fix.

    my apps still dont work =[
    new ones i download work but the old ones dont!!
    how do i fix this? i dont want to uninstall every single app
    and i have tris.. how can i re-download that?! i cant if i take it off
    anyone know how to make my old apps work?

  • SetChildIndex seems to have no effect

    Hello, I've searched the googles and this forum extensivley but I can't seem to find what's wrong.
    I am trying to set a Sprite's z-index to topmost on mouseOver. In my mouseOver event I am calling:
    this.parent.setChildIndex(this, this.parent.numChildren - 1);
    If I trace the index of this before and after the call, the index has changed but my sprite still appears to be behind it's siblings.
    I am changing the scale of the object on mouseOver as well.
    Is there any known issue regarding setChildIndex that prevents it from actually updating the display?

    Thank you for the reply, It turns out I had an event listener on my parent object that was doing bad things.

    if all your sprites are within the same clip the easiest thing you could do would be add the eventListener to the contiainer and on the event
    function handleOver(e:Event):void{
    var do:DisplayObject= e.target as DisplayObject
         addChild(do)

    Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
    All the video tests passed with flying colors.
    The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.

  • I have purchased an app from the app store and cannot seem to download it.  I have tried restarting, and checked my connection but this seems to have no effect.  I have also downloaded other (free) applications since then and some of these download

    I have purchased an app from the app store and cannot seem to download it, the download statrs and then rapidly cuts out, it will not complete and seems to repeatedly go over the same few Mb.  I have previously downloaded large files and not had a problem with them.
    I have tried restarting, checked my hard disk (and repaired a sector of the disk) and checked my connection but this seems to have no effect.  I have also disabled virus protection and my firewall to see if this has an effect.  I have also downloaded other (free) applications to test it since then and some of these download but not the larger ones.  Has anybody else encountered this?  Does anyone know how to solve it?

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful.  I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't see

    I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful.  I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't seem to figure this out.  Is there a better way to smooth skin?

    Here's an Adobe help page for isolating skin with suggestion on the use of the blur slider also:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/speedgrade/using/apply-secondary-color-corrections.html
    And here's one of the original creators of Iridas/SpeedGrade, Patrick Palmer, a six minute vid-tut on using secondaries (specifically in CS6 but this hasn't changed):
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-speedgrade-cs6/secondary-color-correction-in-speedgrade-cs 6/
    I'd note, the "blur" and "denoise" tools on the Secondary tab are more about smoothing the keying of the secondary ... they apply a bit of blur or de-noising to make the secondary smoother and cover over the odd pixel or three or four that don't "fit" the key of the secondary in the middle of something you're aiming for.
    In current SpeedGrade, I'd try using the Guassian Blur (Range) effect, and sample a good range of the skin tones.
    And a lot of people use Red Giant's "Cosmo" plug-in over in AfterEffects or Premiere Pro ... it's a tool designed specifically for working skin tones, dealing with blemishes, wrinkles, spots, and such.

  • Setting mediaplayer.autoPlay doesn't seem to have any effect

    Hi,
    As topic says, setting the autoPlay property on MediaPlayer to false doesn't seem to have any effect on the VideoElement.
    The MediaPlayer always auto play when assigning it a new VideoElement. I'm using OSMF 1.5
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It looks ok. Can you provide the code for createVideoElement as well?
    This is the snipet that works for me:
    var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/strobe/content/test/AFaerysTale_sylviaApostol_640_500_short.f lv");
    // Create the MediaElement and add it to our container class.
    var videoElement:VideoElement =  new VideoElement(resource);
    container.addMediaElement(videoElement);
    var mediaPlayer:MediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.autoPlay = false;
    mediaPlayer.media = videoElement;

  • 5.0.1 update seems to have destroyed personal content (calendar, contacts, phontos) also from iTunes backup

    I updated 5.0.1 to my iPhone 4. Just before it I syncronized the phone with iTunes not to loose my content. However after uploading 5.0.1 I couldn't first connect the to iTunes and when I finally succeeded to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone the version to be syncronised seems to have lost all my personal content. How can I get my calendar, contacts, photos, apps etc. back?

    Thanks, but this didn't help me.  My phone is a 3GS--maybe that makes the difference.  What ended up working was to hook back up to iTunes and right click on my phone's name, click restore backup, click restore at the next prompt, and then tell it no when it asks about activating the iCloud.  Now all my data is restored and the phone is working perfectly.

  • Latest ATV update seems to have worked...

    I had been having a ton of problems with my downstairs ATV over the past month or so. It would continually drop out of itunes, and even restarting itunes wouldn't work. I tried a factory reset. Syncing would take up to 24 hours. Just really bad.
    I did the check for updates and updated the software on the ATV with whatever changes were newest, and it seems to have worked. I've had itunes open for 24 hours and the Living Room ATV is still showing up on it. And I was able to stream some content somewhat efficiently. Still haven't tried to see how much improved the sync time is, but I'm hopeful.

    OK, I tried running disk utility from the system disk as you suggested. It acted just the same way - froze about 1/3 of the way through. Gave the same error message, and the same scary message that if you stop running disk utility (which one must do since it will not run), then there is a risk of damaging the disk.
    Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

  • [Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

    I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support.  It had been working since installation several months ago.  I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
    Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.

    Hi,
    I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
    Anyway, I will try your solution.

  • Updating of Creative Clouds apps seems to have no effect

    The application manager tells me to update some of my apps, as (Photoshop CC, After Effects CC, InDisign CC, Bridge CC, Premiere Pro CC).
    Everything works smooth, but if I check the application manager after restarting the iMac - it tells me again to do the same updates.
    I have been doing the updates for some days now, whithout any solution.
    I also tried to update Photoshop, from photoshops helpmenu - but that didn't work either.

    Thank you for your reply !
    See these two screenshots for two of the logfiles:

  • Bulk size seems to have no effect

    Hi folks,
    Any idea why bulk size setting of a mapping seems not to have any effect?
    My settings are as adviced in the documentation:
    Bulk size: 1000 (default)
    Default Operating Mode: Row based
    Bulk processing code: selected
    Source database (remote) Oracle 8.1
    Target database & OWB database 10gR2
    Nevertheless when I execute a mapping TOAD doesn't show me any row count until the whole table has been loaded. As I've understood the load should be done in parts of 1000 rows, right? Could it be that a database setting prevents bulk size parameter to work like it should?
    Thanks,
    Ilmari

    Hi there,
    the script generated contained the elements you mentioned David, thanks.
    I was trying to commit every 1000 rows and to process approximately 10M rows.
    Wasn't able to solve it, it still doesn't commit in the meantime. However, probably some database parameters were changed and it doesn't end in an error. So not solved, but somehow got past it. Not ideal, but works.
    BR,

  • Software update seems to have hung before it even started

    I'm fairly new to owning a Mac (newer than an SE) and I a having a problem with Software Update. I can't tell if the system is supposed to work this way (which would be a terrible user experience) or if my system is really screwed.
    Software Update always tries to get me to install updates at bad times so I had several updates that were overdue. They were marked as downloaded but they required a restart, so I never did the installation. Today, I remembered to go to software update to update the system. There were 11 updates. I had them all selected and I hit the button to install all 11 items.
    My computer has been mostly unresponsive since then. It's been 2 hours. No progress bar has appeared. No configuration message has appeared. The only thing that has happened is that the icon that appears above software update has changed to the swirly rainbow "I'm working" icon.
    I tried opening firefox. Nothing happened. I tried opening the activity monitor. The icon now appears in the shortcut bar but the activity monitor never came up. I tried opening the system profiler-- again, the icon now appears in the shortcut bar but nothing ever came up. I can't even scroll up in system update to see which 11 updates I'm installing; I can only see the 8 that were visible when I hit the start button. I even went to "About this mac" and clicked "more info" and the only thing that happened is that the "about this mac" screen disappeared.
    The two possibilities seem to be that my system is working as expected (which would, as I said, be a horrible user experience), or that the system is hung.
    I am extremely reluctant to shut the computer down in the middle of an update because it could corrupt the system but it's been 2 hours and I haven't gotten a progress bar or a single progress message. I really don't want to do that if this is expected behavior. On the other hand, my computer has been completely unusable for 2 hours and that seems like a ridiculous amount of time to install software that was already downloaded.
    The 8 software updates that I can see in the list are:
    iDVD Update 7.0.3
    Digital Camera Raw Compatib... 2.5
    iLife Support
    AirPort Client Update 2009-001 1.0
    Front Row Update 2.1.7
    Safari 3.2.1
    Java for Max OS X 10.5 Update 3 1.0
    Security Update 2009-001 1.0
    What's worse is that all of my Mac OSX using friends are asleep so I can't find out from them if this is expected behavior.
    Please advise. I don't know if I should try to hard reboot or let it keep trying.

    Do you have your data backed up?
    Press this key combination: Commandoptionesc
    Since Software update has jammed on you, that might not do anything. What it should do is bring up the "Force Quit" window. If the window doesn't show up within...15 minutes, it probably isn't going to make an appearance.
    If you press the power button once, do you get the option to shut down?
    If none of that works, hold the power button down till the computer powers off. After that, try booting in Safe Mode (hold the Shift key while booting) and see if the computer boots okay. If so, try booting normally. If a normal boot goes without issues, you can try updating using Software Update again--but do only 1 update at a time and see if it works. If not, let us know and we'll do more troubleshooting.
    If the computer won't boot into Safe Mode, try repairing the disk using Disk Utility from the Install DVDs you got with your Mac. Insert Install Disc 1 and reboot the computer while holding down the C key. When the language menu appears, hit enter. Move your cursor to the top portion of the screen--some menus should appear. Choose Utilities, then *Disk Utility*. Highlight your drive's icon in the left-hand column and click the *repair disk* button. If anything can't be repaired, post the complete error here.
    Goodness, that's a lot to read. Best of luck to you!

  • 10.5.2 update seems to have removed all TM backups prior to today?

    After updating to 10.5.2, I see that my Time Machine drive - which prior to the update had backups dating back to whenever I installed Leopard (November I think) - now only contains backups it made today. Anyone else seen this?

    Yes, 'Warn when old backups are deleted' had always been checked.

    There's more, but that seems the critical stuff. It looks like Time Machine thinks the UUID for my system drive had changed. After the first Backup ran, all backups (since Nov) prior to 2-11-08 were gone, and about 15Gb of space was recovered from the drive.
    I have many, many other backup solutions in place, so this isn't mission critical for me. However, if TM can't maintain archived backups, I can't safely consider it for that.
