10.6.4 update stuck writing files

I downloaded 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 tonight. Download was fine, hit restart, but about 3/4 of the way through (on the status bar) while "writing files" the update appears stuck and I have the spinning beach ball of death. Not sure if I should power down and try again or not. Fortunately, I did do a full backup this morning to an external drive before trying this update

If the process hung while writing files then chances are high that you have some file system corruption as a result of that combined with the forced shutdown. To prevent that from causing any problems, I suggest that before you try reinstalling anything, start up from your Snow Leopard installer disc. but instead of installing anything, go to into its Utilities & run its copy of Disk Utility. Select your normal startup drive from the list & click the "Repair Disk" button.
If that comes up OK (or fixes any problems it finds) then you can try the update again, but personally, I would reinstall the base version of Snow Leopard from the disc (which will not overwrite your user files & settings) to make sure the update is applied to as pristine a version of the OS as possible. Note that this will require another download of the update unless your base version is already 10.6.3.
You can use Software Update for this -- it will select the appropriate version automatically, & it probably will be the equivalent of the larger 10.6.4 combo update.

Software Update stuck: "Moving files into place"

Software Update stuck. In OS C Lion (10.7.4) I ran Software Update on 25-Jul-2012 (The day when OS X Mountain Lion was released). Software Update had 5 updates, such as Safari 6.0, Remote Desktop, iPhoto (?). Software update gets about 95% done, based on the progress bar. Then it hangs... for hours. I finally had to force-Quit Software Update. Rebooted. Tried again. Same problem. Rebooted and rest the PRAM (command-option-P-R) at start-up. Ran Software Update and had the same problem. Software Update hangs while "Moving files into place." Has anyone else seen this problem and know how to get it to work?

I discovered that if I selected only one update at a time to install, all but one installed (i.e., Remote Desktop, Safari 6, and iWork update). The one update that did not install was the iPhoto update. I had left the install to run overnight (about 7 hours). Console log for /var/log/install.log when installing iPhoto update follows:

10.6.8 update would not finish writing files

I am trying to update my os from 10.6.7 to current 10.6.8 but the installation process ( writing files) would not finish !!
The progress bar seems to be stuck at about 95%
How do I resolve this ?
I need to d/l lion

Hi,
Some Users have reported that Powering down their Router/Modem... Then Powering it up again and then re-downloading the Update has worked... You could try that...
Here's the link for the Combo Update should you need it:

HT5313 The update installer is frozen while writing files(10.7.5) What do I do?

I was updating my OS to 10.7.5 via Software update. I clicked on the box to restart my computer and a icon appeared stating "writing files". It has been running over 30 min without any movement in the status bar. I'm not sure if there is a problem and it has stalled or I am not being patient enough. Never run into a situation in the past like this while installing a OS update. Suggestions?

I'd give it a bit longer but if nothng still happens you'll have no choice but to do a forced shutdown. Hopefully it'll reboot. You might then want try to update again using the 'combo' from Apple's support pages, which contains all revisions since 10.7 and will hopefully sort it out:

How to Update and XML file

Hi,
I'm reading an XML file using SAX api, now based on some calculations, i want to add a new Element inside the same XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<types>
<type super = "City">
<t>Faro</t>
<t>Porto</t>
<t>Helsinki</t>
</type>
</types>Now in the above XML snippet, i want to add an new sub element <t> Islamabad </t>, inside types.
Following is the point in the code where i'm stuck:
for (int typeID = 0; typeID < typeList.size(); typeID++) {
                    Element type = (Element) typeList.get(typeID);
                    String superTypeStr = type.getAttributeValue("super").toString();
                    if (superTypeStr.equalsIgnoreCase(comboValue)) {
                         Element t = new Element("t");
                         t.addContent(typeValue);
                         //NOW HOW TO ADD THIS <t>, inside a matched type element (in this case "city"), and write it into the xml file
                         break;
typeList is a List object, which i get using : typeList = types.getChildren("type");Hope i have explained the problem clearly, writing an XML fime from scratch is easy. but in my case i want to update an existing xml file with a new element entry.
The XML file should need to be updated like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<types>
<type super = "City">
<t>Faro</t>
<t>Porto</t>
<t>Helsinki</t>
<t>Islamabad</t>
</type>
</types>--
Regards Suleman

hey mate, i remember when i had a similar issue before. I ended up using parsing the document using DOM instead of SAX. The reason being that i wanted to update the XML file and if i parsed the document using DOM i had a handle on the document object so i could subsequently update it. But the drawback is that the entire xml structure is parsed into memory, as opposed to SAX which im sure you know is event driven and memory friendly. I would use SAX for the simple process of parsing the xml file to either examine, or print out the content or both.Perhaps consider DOM?

Error while updating a jar file

I am trying to update a jar file using teh following command
jar -uf project.jar fileMy.prop
however while doing that i get the following error
java.io.IOException: Error in writing existing jar file
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:179)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)

Perhaps some process (your java program perhaps) is still running that has the file open still? You'll need to shut down the process(es) that have it open. Or you don't have proper rights to the directory/file. Not a java issue.

Necessary to "Update" old illustrator files?

I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have a newer version of illustrator, specifically CS2, loaded on Mac OS X it's calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."
It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Should I take the time to update all of these files now? I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files and it would take time to open them all and update each one. If I don't update now though, will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all, as operating systems progress, etc?
2) If I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as, Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai - My question is should I just leave the brackets and the word converted or should I get rid of it?
3) Also, if I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as it goes to "illustrator Options". In this dialog box it defaults to "Use Compression". Should I just leave it checked or deselect it? (I'm scared of the word "compression" as I just spent the last several days decompressing old Disk Doubler files using an OS 9 emulator. I was lucky to be able to do this.)
4) In this Illustrator Options dialog box it always gives me two warnings for these old files - The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean? Should I try and change it? If so, how? The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
Please keep answers as simple as possible. Thanks so much.

Lala,
Most of this just boils down to personal preference and/or common sense.
I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have...CS2...Mac OS X [is] calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."...Should I take the time to update all of these files now?
That's just a file-association issue on the OS, mostly for icon and doubleClicking-to-open. It doesn't mean you can't open the file in a later version of the creating program. Here's the main thing: Can you still directly open AI 6 files in the current version of AI (CS5)? If yes (as I suspect), then whether you update all these files before archiving them or not is just a question of what you consider most convenient. Do you prefer to have all your archive files already updated to current-version AI, or do you prefer to update them on an as-needed basis?
Personally, I opt for the as-needed route. I also have thousands of archive files. But I'm not going to open and resave them all (and mess with replacing legacy fonts, etc., etc.) with every new version of the host program. One could make a career of that. (And Illustrator is far from the only program I use.) In my case, the majority of those legacy files will never be needed again. Although I keep good backups, I always make it a point to make sure my clients know I am under no obligation to indefinitely archive my working files for their completed projects. (Anyone who takes on that liability, without being in that business and charging for it is flirting with disaster.) I provide the customer copies of what is necessary for the reproduction and uses he has contracted for, and he bears responsibility for redundant backup security of the files provided if he deems it necessary.
I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files...will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all...?
As long as the current version still supports the legacy format, it still boils down to whether you want to have all your archive files already updated or update them as-needed.
Now, eventually a new version of the host program may completely break backward file compatibility with a legacy format. That actually happened once in the history of FreeHand when a major modernization of the program was done. If a FH user at that time chose not to update their legacy files, then they would have to do a 2-step update, first using the latest version that did maintained the legacy compatibility, then to the current version. Even then, I did not convert all my archives (especially those for long-inactive accounts.)
The potential larger issue in that kind of scenario would be whether the "middle step" version of the host application will still run on the current-version OS. No one can predict that years and years in advance.
(Aside: For that matter, what assurance do we have that the next computer technology that everyone flocks to--say, organic computing with true artificial intelligence--will not break compatibilty with every existing PDF, CD, DVD, hard disk, VHS tape, Flash drive, Zip drive, Syquest disk, SCSI device, and AI file on the planet? On the other hand, I'm still able to use FH11 without a hitch on Windows Vista--haven't tried it yet on Windows 7. I'd love to try a copy of Windows FH 8--that was a clean drawing program--but only have a Mac version.)
It says "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated..." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Fairly recently (much more recently than version 6), Illustrator's very archaic text objects were updated to a...well...less archaic structure. For backward compatibility, Adobe included a "conversion" routine to give you the option of updating the older text objects. Understand, you can still open, work with, and even re-save the file with the legancy text objects if you have need to. So again, do you really want to do this to all your archive files?(Understand, the reason for the warning in the first place is that the changes affect spacing and therefore potentially line wrapping, and other type-specific things; so if you are truly "updating" the file, i.e.; making it Johnny-on-the-spot, ready-to-go print-ready, you may have some re-typesetting to do. Do you really want to do that on all your legacy files right now?)
Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai ...should I just leave the brackets and the word converted...?
That's also just up to you. Makes no functional difference. Appending the word "converted" is intended as a mere file naming convenience. (FileMaker does the same thing by default, for example, when opening an Excel spreadsheet and thereby converting it to a FileMaker database.) For one thing, it lets you save the new file to the same directory as the original file without overwriting it. (In the FileMaker scenario, I always delete the "converted" because the .xls and .fp7 file extensions themselves are going to prevent accidental overwrites. In Illustrator, I never keep the multiple-version files anyway, so I also delete the "converted".)
... it goes to "illustrator Options"...defaults to "Use Compression". ...I'm scared of the word "compression"...
I'm not "afraid" of compression, but I never use application-specific file compression. It just creates other inconveniences in collaboration with others. For example, for many years Corel has provided the option of saving Draw files as compressed or not. It is a very common ocurrence for an AI user to receive a Draw file they should be able to open but can't, just because the Draw user forgot to not save it with compression (or didn't know better).
Yeah, Adobe's marketing might like to think I and everyone else in the world uses only its products, but the real world (thankfully) still isn't that close-minded.
The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean?
See online Help for what Document Rster Effects setting is all about. You need to understand it; but it doesn't really have anything significant to do with the question of updating legacy files. 72 ppi is the default, so if you update a legacy file from a version that predates raster effects, that's the setting the new document is going to get. But since there were no raster effects in the old file, it has no real bearing. But that setting is something you should be familiar with regarding any file you are sending to print, regardless of when.
The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
You're getting this when converting legacy AI files? An EPS or PDF file may have embedded fonts, but (correct me if I'm wrong) not an AI6 file, unless the "Save with Acrobat compatibility" option was available in AI6.
At any rate, that's nothing new. Some programs can try to embed fonts in a file to facilitate remote printing and display (but not editing) without having to do the old-world "bundle for output" routine. If you happen to be the typeface designer, of course, you may not be too happy about that. So such features have had to provide the typeface foundry an opt-out. Some typeface vendors are almost as piracy-paranoid as Adobe--much to the dissatisfaction of their legitimate customers. So there is a setting in font files that the font creator can set to disallow embedding of the font. One example of particular distress to me is ITC Officina. Nowadays, I make a point to never purchase fonts that can't be embeded in a PDF. So ITC (or whomever actually owns the thing now) has at least one unhappy legitimately-licensed customer who has stopped using one of his favorite fonts and won't buy an updated version unless and until this nonsense is corrected. Again, it's really a non-issue re file version updating. You can't do anything (well, anything practical) about a font that doesn't allow embedding anyway. The warning is just a "reminder"; it's a standard alert whenever saving a file in a format that tries to embed fonts.

Writing files with Eclipse over gvfs ends in empty files

Hello,
I'm using gvfs to mount folders from our development server. I'm accessing these folders directly with Eclipse. Everything went fine until the last gnome update. Now writing files with Eclipse ends in writing empty files, but there aren't any errors. Eclipse still shows the content of the files until i reopen them.
When i'm writing files with other apps (vim, gedit) everything works normally?
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thx

Writing files in air for android

I'm trying to create a user license agreement that will show the first time a player opens my game. I'm using a FileStream with a complete event and an IOEvent. The IOEvent is triggered the first time because the file I'm looking for doesn't exist. I then show the user agreement and write the file to the application storage directory. If I then close the game and open it a second time I expect the Complete event to fire since the file now exists but instead the IOEvent is firing again. Why isn't it finding the file and triggering the complete event? I can read the file after I create it so I know it exists at that point.

Anyone have an updated list of files needed to delete mackeeper and all other popups from your iMac

Anyone have an updated lists of files to delete that cause mackeeper, bizrate, tlbsearch ads and all other popups?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
