For updating Silverlight in Windows, the System Requirements say I must have "X86 or x64 (64-bit mode support for IE only)"; what does this mean?
I have a 5-year-old laptop, given to me by someone else as a gift, that uses: a 32-bit operating system, Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1), and Internet Explorer 8. A system message told me I need to upgrade Adobe and Silverlight. I accomplished the Adobe upgrade without problem. For the Silverlight upgrade, the instructions say to first uninstall the existing Silverlight software before installing the updated software. However, in the System Requirements, for Windows, it says the phrase that I quoted in the "Question" box above. I am not sure what it means. I am confused by the words "for IE only"; I'm assuming IE means Internet Explorer, but I don't know what this short phrase is trying to say. Is the "bottom line" that my 32-bit operating system is insufficient to receive the Silverlight upgrade, or is it enough? I need to know. I don't want to uninstall my existing Silverlight software yet, because of the possibility that I can't install the new software; I don't know what adverse effect would occur if my laptop doesn't have any Silverlight working on it at all. So I'd appreciate being filled in on this. Thanks!
Your computer can run silverlight just fine. They are just saying that Silverlight is a 32bit application, except for Internet Explorer, where it can run as 64bit. It doesn't make any difference for you, so just go ahead and install it.

Why do I get a message saying "You are running an operating system that InDesign no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms."? What does this mean?
It means that your machine does not meet the system requirements for InDesign. Check the system requirements for InDesign against those of your machine to see where your machine comes up short.

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience.. -

Hi - I keep receiving the following error message on a song I purchased from itunes and am now trying to drag and drop to my iPad: "you must download items from icloud before you can copy then to iPad" what does this mean - please help! Thank you
Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

I have a Macbook purchased in 2009. I am running Mavericks, which has caused several programs to stop opening (Calendar, Quicktime...) so I have been trying several things to fix it. One thing is to try to do a Apple Hardware Test over the internet. In order to do this I need to restart my computer while pressing the option and D keys.
When I did so I got the message "4403D". I had to hold the power button down to turn off the computer in order to restart normally so I can use it.
What does this mean? And how do I fix the programs?Can you provide the link of the website on which you are having problems ??
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

When I open the add-ons screen, I get a faded out message that Trend-Micro NSC Firefox extension is incompatible with Firefox 4. Below it is another faded out message that Trend-micro toolbar is incompatible with Firefox 4.
Do these messages mean that I'm not getting the Trend-Micro protection, or that I just can't open Trend-micro from within Firefox 4?
I've been using Trend-micro for a long time, and I really like it.No that's wrong, the update for the trend micro toolbar will be issued the second week of JUNE 2011. How do I know this?

Says so there. Want more info?

Hope this helps, because I am one of the people as well with Firefox 4 and no Toolbar. -
I'm not really sure what's happening. Sometimes everything will be fine and then other times it's the rainbow wheel of death.
That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
If you are running Lion:
From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the second item if it is there.
Now select Go to Folder again and enter /Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery. -

I get this message often when updating things. I have told Small Dog Computer where I buy my stuff, and they didn't have an answer. Thanks in advance.

I won't worry about it anymore :-)

i am updating my airport express. However, the message comes up with Invalid value - advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname. WHat does this mean?
thank you thank you for taking an interest. this is so frustrating.
i only have apple keyboard, mighty mouse, and 20 inch cinema display connected. this morning took out memory and tried to boot up with individual pairs in the first bank. first the (2)256, the (2) 1g, and then the other (2) 1g modules. everytime I get the weird fuzzy wheel under the logo after a while, black screen flashes, then grey apple logo fuzzy screen then black forever.
I ran tiger updates this morn. still will only boot to safe mode. then tried to run leopard disk to install it
will not boot from leopard disk.
tried safe boot, then doulble click install leopard, restart, then the saga repeats with the pixely red square around the wheel.
these are fresh drives with only what came on instll disk loaded.
thanks again for taking an interest.
i love this system(well at least i did). I want to install leopard on my powerbook too but am terrified to do so right now since it is working and I have work to do. Can't afford to have no computer to do my work on...self employment is great?!
This is making me crazy. I anxiously await your words of wisdom. -
downloaded Appleworks 6.2.9 for Mac Updater-2.sim but when i try to open the file i receive the message "legacy image should be updated". what does this mean and/or entail?
Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).
