10.7.3 update will not run. I've downloaded it's 2 Gb twice now (half my monthly internet) and the dialog box says "download could not be saved". Without this update I cannot update Java and therefore cannot use my nebank. Ideas?

Where can I report this to Apple, I've just spent 20 minutes trying to find some way to contact them.

Sorry Gimp, but in fairness you didn't solve my problem, you got the points though (accidentally).
It may well have worked, but just downloading the Combo update directly from Apple did the trick. This answer from Scott Newman put me onto it.
However, in this case, there is very clearly an issue that is correlated to two things: 1) Using the automated "Software Update" as compared to downloading and using the separate Mac OS X 10.7.3 Combo Updater; and 2) Certain Mac notebook computers. In most cases, but not all, running the Combo Updater over a failed 10.7.3 update using Software Updater will fix the problems. If a user can't get to the desktop or can't download the updater because of the previous failed update, there is information (albit geeky) in the previously noted thread to deal with this.
Most older, experienced Mac users never trust the automated Software Update process for system updates and always download and use the related "Combo" updater. Unfortunately, many newer Mac users know nothing about this. Apple's revenues and profit growth have come at the expense of having an exponentiall increase in the number of non-Geek users who just want their Mac to work like their toaster.
Thanks very much for your replies though

I trashed my Aperture preferences, so now I can open Aperture. The dialog box says Welcome to Aperture. Will I still have my old Aperture Library?

I can open Aperture now, but since it says Welcome Aperture, I just want to make sure my old Library is there still. I don't want proceed until I know my photos are safe. They are backed up on Time Machine and a Cloud service, too, if I need to retrive them. I had a problem where my computer shutdown during a rebuild/repair, but when I re-boot, I couldn't open Aperture. Any advice will help.

I have looked in my Picture folder and see "Aperture Library", but not "Aperture Library.aplibrary". Are they the same?
Have you set the Finder to hide the filename extensions? Then enable the extensions to be shown in the Finder Preferences (Advanced tab):
You could also have hidden the extensionin the "Get Info" panel for the Aperture Library:
Can I open this new "Aperture Library"? If I do open this new "Aperture LIbrary," will my old photo library be there?
If that library only has been created yesterday, it is unlikely, that it will contain your photos. How large is this "Aperture Library"? If it is very small, only a few MB, then it is probably a default library, that Aperture has created, when it could not find your regular library. But if it has several GB, than it can be your Aperture Library - then double click it to open it and see.
If your old "Aperture Library" is not in your Pictures folder, enter ".aplibrary" in the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen.
Does that turn up more libraries?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

I have been trying to update Firefox for the past two months. I try again nearly every time it is suggested. always the dialog box says 'downloading the update' and below the wormy box "connecting to the update server" I let this go on for 15 min to 5 hr

Like what ?

I get the strong feeling that you did not read my earlier response. Apps @ 4.71GB. Android OS @ 3.52GB. Everything else is in the low MBs, since I keep everything I can on my SD card.
If you would like more detail, "Android OS 3.52GB" "Available 467MB" "Apps 4.69GB" "Pictures 24.70MB" "Audio 214KB" "Downloads 1.30MB" "Cached data 57.74MB" "Misc. 101MB".
I regularly move screenshots and any other pictures that somehow end up in my internal storage. I also do not text nearly enough for the memory to be eaten up at the rate that my memory appears to be eaten up. I do delete old threads fairly regularly.

Pointer does not move to the default button in the dialog box

example: when cleaning out trash the pointer does not go to the default button in the dialog box, you have to manually go there.
This happens all the time.

Click OK. See if iTunes runs any better. Work through the troubleshooting guide.

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

Nothing. The message means you MUST restore your phone to factory settings. There's no way around this . Your phone is in recovery mode. That's the only way to get it out.

HT6195 Safari cache will not clear......cannot get to current version of website.

I design our company website. It was recently moved from Hostgator to Flywheel and I am unable to open a current version of the site or make changes via the admin page on Word Press and have it go live. I have tried to clear the cache, but it will not clear. Also, this is happening on my iPad 2 and my husbands MacBook Pro. I cannot un-install safari because Maverick's won't let me. I AM able to make changes and see the current live version on the Dell PC laptop I have. Any ideas???

If it only happened in one location, that would work.....it occurs when mobile, at work, at home, everywhere. Thanks for the thought though.

HT201210 I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS 6, it fails and I get a message "could not backup the IPAD because the backup could not be saved to this computer--I have tried different computers? Please, anyone have this same issue and figured out a fix? Thank

I can't update my IPAD2 to IOS6. I've tried through ITUNEs. I get a message after IOS6 is downloaded and extracted, to the effect of "could not backup the IPAD2 because the backup could not be saved to this computer." I've tried directly from the IPAD, and by connecting through ITUNES to two separate computgers. Can anyone help? Thank you.

However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser. Then I get this message...
Instrument Library Invalid
GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
Any solutions?

Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library.
Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup- If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?

I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
How do i amend this as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
