10.4.7 PPC Update installed instead of Intel one on my Intel Mac

I used software update to install the 10.4.7 update yesterday. The interesting thing is software update reported the upgrade as 64MB in size. I'm sure the Intel upgrade is supposed to be around 133MB in size though. As my Mac Mini is an Intel Mac, have I installed the right update?
I installed the update anyway and my mac mini still seems to be working, but will this have repercussions later on? To compare, I installed the 10.4.7 on my Intel Macbook this afternoon and the update was 133MB in size. So what update have I installed on my mini, is it the correct one, and what do I do if it isn't?

Software Update usually is able to detect which is the correct update. Updates may be different sizes on Software Update depending on the model that they are updating. If you had 10.4.5 or earlier installed, Software Update will use the Combo instead of the Delta update. The combo update includes all the updated information from 10.4.6 in addition to that of 10.4.7 when updating, whereas the Delta is only the changes from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7. You haven't stated that your machine is misbehaving in anyway, so I think you installed the right update. Look in your Library Receipts folder to determine which update was installed:

Hi,
My computer also have duplicated updates installed. I uninstalled one of them that needed a restart. Then uninstall another one after restart, it hadn't asked for restart and the uninstall process was very fast. So I think the update only installed one time,
the others are duplicated records.

If i download this app on one computer, will i have to pay again to install it on another one of my computers

if i download this app on one computer, will i have to pay again to install it on another one of my computers

The Mac App Store allows you to install a purchased app on any computer if you sign into the same AppleID in the app store. You will not need to purchase again. In fact, all you need to do is sign into your account on the 2nd and subsequent computer and then click on the Purchased icon at the top and you'll see a complete list of apps you've purchased. If an app is not installed on the current computer, the button on the right will become an Install button.

Mavericks OSX update did a clean install instead. HELP recover lost files.

My wife installed Mavericks OSX update and it did a clean install instead. Can we recover or restore her old files? Looks like she didn't backup before.

I got this answer and it really worked!
Hope you can recover your files!

CC keeps showing INSTALL instead of UPDATE - Mac

I need to know why Creative Suite CC Adobe Download Manager says 'install' for apps that are already installed instead of 'update'.
I have all the programs I need installed in my Adobe CC folder and have been using them for a couple of weeks. But the CC Manager says to 'install' instead of 'update'. I have searched forums for ages and not found an answer. Does anyone know? Thank you.
(I have tried waiting over an hour on Live Chat but constantly get 'your estimated wait time is 2 minutes and 19 seconds or longer.)

I ended up clicking the INSTALL on each and they re-installed. Have no idea why. But they are now all up-to-date.

An update installed using DISM in install.wim seen as "Not Applicable" by WSUS report instead of "Installed"

Hi all,
To make server's installation faster, I intend to make an updated "install.wim" every 6 months using DISM.
Then, after installation, the Win2012R2 server connect to a WSUS server to get the latests update not included in the install.wim.
As a test, I used DISM to install an update in the install.wim file of Windows 2012R2 sources.
In a new installed Windows server 2012R2, I can see that the KB is installed.
But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
Is it because WSUS did not installed it itself ?
Is there a way to display it as "installed" in the report, even if the patch had not been installed by the WSUS server ?
Thanks
ML

But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
Very possible, and likely.
It depends on how the detection logic of the update has been written. In some cases, detection logic is based on what an installer does during installation, e.g. create and/or set a registry key or value. This may not happen when injecting an update into
an image using DISM. As a result, the detection logic will not see the necessary flags it's looking for to determine that an update is "Installed" vs "Not Applicable".
You also have to think of this in terms of the baseline image installed on the system. To be true, a baseline image that already has the necessary content is, in fact, "Not Applicable", and has, in fact, not actually been installed to that machine.
Most often you see this in the realm of installing images with slipstreamed service packs.
Consider a scenario with a slipstreamed Win7SP1 baseline. Functionally speaking, all previous updates are contained within that SP1 baseline, but if you inspect the state of the actual updates in WSUS, they will all be listed as Not Applicable. They're not
actually "installed", and they cannot be installed, thus the only viable remaining state is "Not Applicable", which is true -- because they cannot be installed on an SP1-based machine. (Functionally they are superseded, which is also a
contributing factor to the state of "Not Applicable".)
There is no way to display it as "Installed". It's not. This is something that should be documented in the declaration of the baseline image you're using (by patching up the image with DISM once every six months).

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

Anybody have any ideas?

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

External iSight Camera not working after update installed?

a couple of weeks ago I turned on iChat and up popped a window that said i needed to update the (external) iSight camera i had plugged into my minimac (firewire). followed the instructions and did just that. little greenlight glowed happily, rotated lens and opened iChat--little green light blinked off and then iChat showed that the camera was not turned on. tried turning it on and off by rotating the lens, unplugging firewire and also restarted computer...no change. looked for update to firmware and downloaded 1.0.3, only to be told it does not work with OS 10.4 (bummer).
had a back up camera, plugged that in and no problems...trouble is roomate recently got the pop-up screen when he was using it and, thinking he was doing me a favor, 'updated'...so now have 2 cameras that do not work and no answers to be found on the posts or the apple support site.
any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions, johnboysf
(1) Assuming you are not ANY having other problems with your Macs and that your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date, you can concentrate on the iSight part of your system(s).
Restart your Mac with no unnecessary peripherals connected and try the suggestions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
(2) If your iSight still does not work with any app, check for Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight.
(3) I cannot tell whether your mini is an iNtel or PPC. Apply the appropriate Combo Updater as follows if you still have the problem:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• For PPC, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC).
• For iNtel, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (Intel).
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(4) If your problem persists after trying all of the above, the problem may be with your iSight itself. The fact that you got that notification after you had previously been using your iSight successfully under OS 10.4.x, and the fact that the updater ran for you and your roommate under OS 10.4.x, makes me think there may be something wrong with your iSights. The Tiger (10.4.x) OS includes all the necessary earlier update (including iSight Firmware 1.0.3) and installs the Firmware update if necessary at the time you installed Tiger or first connected your iSight. Therefore, the Firmware update should be unnecessary and should not have been identified by Software Update... as being needed (unless someone has improperly thrown away some OS X files.)
As you note, iSight Firmware 1.0.3 will not run except on Mac OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9 (or, it now seems, if something is wrong.) If you have access to a Firewire-equipped Mac that is using one of these OSs, you can try applying the update to your iSights using that Mac.
(5) If you cannot find a Mac that is still using Panther, or if applying the update does not resolve your problem, contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional service. Ask your AASP if he wants to see your Macs, too, to check whether their software has been modified or damaged.

10.4.9 update/install -- Fun, new problem!

So I have been scouring these forums to see if anyone has had a similar problem . . .
I downloaded 10.4.9 yesterday morning, installed and it restarted the computer, then restarted it again (combo update). After that, the blue screen popped up, the "loading Mac OSX" and blue bar started going, everything looking good and . . . the bar stopped about halfway through.
Then the computer went to a blue screen, appeared to refresh itself, and is happily staying at a blue screen.
What I have done since then:
I booted into Safe Mode without difficulty. I have 2 accounts (Account A and Account B), both Admin level. I can get into Account B, but not Account A. B is my backup, A is my primary, the one that has everything. When I try to login to Account A, it takes the password and refreshes the login screen. Note: On startup the computer is set to automatically log into Account A, which is why there is possibly a problem at blue screen.
I have backed up recently, though sadly not right before I updated. I have an external drive with 10.4.8 on it and I can boot from that and access all the files on my main drive. I just can't,for whatever reason, get in on my main account.
Note that I have also gone through the instructions offered on the blog that everyone is linking, and it has done nothing. I have cleaned caches, repaired permissions, used Diskwarrior and even reapplied the Combo(PPC) update from both my external drive and my other account. Yet still nothing.
Oh, and when I am logged in on Account B, going to "About this mac" shows that I am in fact running 10.4.9.
Any help?
20" iMac G5 (rev A) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'm typing this on my freshly refreshed MB (black), which died a similar death 2 days ago. A call to tech support, various guided experiments in single user mode, safe mode and parameter ram zapping got me, at best, some time logged in on my "guest account," eventually terminating in an apple and a spinning gear, no login opportunity.
SO...
I did and archive and install from the supplied DVDs.
It seems to work, though quizzlically, I cannot do the upgrade to 10.4.9 as it returns with a message that the digital signature has been tampered with. So I'll wait, hope his condition holds up.
Hope this helps you!

Where do the updates installed on your pc?

where do the updates installed on your pc? I checked for updates and clicked download for the 5.7 update. I can't find it anywhere on my pc.

Yes, your right. It is the default location. In my case, I was clicking the download button under "Help", "Check for Updates" and the notice for the 5.7 update was there. Clicking on the "Download" button did nothing. I tried chatting for almost 2 hours with Adobe Support and they just wanted me to go to the direct link they supplied instead of fixing the problem that the "Download" button did nothing.
Thank you for your reply!

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...
