6.2.9 Update did nothing on Intel Mac!

Hello,
Just tried to update to the last version of AW (6.2.9) and after several attempts, no update occurred. The old version runs very erratically on this new OS (10.6.2 vs 10.4) and is nearly unusable. Any ideas?
Thanks!

First, make sure AppleWorks is not running & you are logged in as an admin before updating AppleWorks. Even though it would ask for an admin name & password, the update doesn't "take" if you're not logged in as an admin.
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.

I stupidly upgraded the software to my Iphone 3s and now it won't connect to my Mac which is a PowerPC and the Itunes update is only for Intel Macs so......now what?

well I stupidly upgraded my Iphone 3s to 6.0.1 and now it isn't compatable with Itunes but I run a PowerPC and the itunes is only for an Intel Mac so.........now what? It's more important for me to have my Iphone communicating with my older Itunes so what older software do I need for my phone since I'm not buying an Intel Mac.My Protools would not like it.

Bridge 1.0.4 update fails on Leopard (Intel mac)

Howdy! I just installed Photoshop CS2 on a new Macbook Pro running Leopard, and then downloaded the Bridge 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 updates. The 1.0.3 update appears to install correctly, and when I bring up Bridge it says it's 1.0.3. But the 1.0.4 update won't install, claiming that 1.0.3 isn't installed.
Any ideas? (Other than the obvious one of upgrading to CS3?)
Bridge is fully updated to 1.0.4 on my old Powerbook; can I reasonably drag the Bridge application over to the new laptop and get 1.0.4 that way?

I had a similar problem updating PSE 4.0.1. You might get it to work if you open the Bridge Plug Ins file and instal the Adobe 4.3.1 Adobe Camera Raw file in it. Then try to run the Bridge 1.0.4 Update, downloaded from the Adobe website, not from within Bridge. Good Luck
P.S.No one at Adobe could explain the problems I was having with my update, but I did get it to work in 10.5.2.

!0.5.4 Update did NOT eat my Mac!

I ran Verify Disk, downloaded the 10.5.4 Combo Update and installed. Then, ran Repair Permissions.

nerowolf is correct on the Combo not being needed if your system is in good shape. However, every now then a system update can exacerbate an error you never knew you had. 9 times out of 10 the delta update is fine but the Combo is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. That is why I use it.
-mj
For a normal combo update I would agree. For example the combo update for 10.5.1, which had everything including the kitchen sink, but I wonder if these newer combo updates are different.
I suspect that the larger combo update checks for the version currently running and only uses the necessary files to update to 10.5.4 and does not look for specific files that may be "bad" as some earlier updates may have done.
I still prefer the manual downloaded update for these system updates rather than the "offered" updates via the software updater.
It's possible that for those who have chosen to ignore 10.5.3 for whatever reason, that the combo update will not necessarily be the answer, and might cause some complex issues that should have been fixed earlier. If 10.5.3 did not install, I don't think 10.5.4 will be a "fix"

Will Logic Pro....be running through rosetta on INTEL MACS?

Hi Apple,
Question,
Will Logic Pro have to run through rosetta (or similar) to use the INTEL Macs? Or will a new Logic Release that takes full advantage of INTEL be available imminently?
thanx,
SvK

If you are a registered owner of Logic 7.1 today, you will have to pay US$50 plus shipping to get the updated version that is Intel Mac native when it is made available after March 31st, 2006.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
• About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
• About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

Same here. I tried to update my iPhone 5S and iPad 4 to 7.1 but iTunes wiped out them. This thing already happened for iOS 7.0.6 update. What happened to Apple? I am really curious whether Apple is aware of this problem.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

New updater for intel mac

Hi all,
There are new updaters available, QT 7.1.6 and security update
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2007004v11universal.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremeupdate2007003.html
Run your software updater to make sure your macbookpro need these updater.
Good Luck

In addition to my post here is the answer why some user doesn't have security updater as an option to update:
It was to clarify the purpose of the update for anyone wondering why they did not find info about the security update when they ran Software Update. It isn't for everyone. This is version 1.1 of the security update. It is a revision. It is specifically targeted at versions or builds of Mac OS X 10.4.9 that developed issues when version 1.0 of the update was issued almost 2 weeks ago on 19 APR 2006 for PPC and Intel Macs. Version 1.0 has been removed from the Apple Downloads page, because it has now been superseded by the revision. Anyone who did not get version 1.0 will now get version 1.1, but folks who already got version 1.0 may not get version 1.1 because it is only targeted at specific users.

Tinyurl toolbar disappeared after I installed FF7.0; the Firefox "fix' did nothing.

I updated to FF7.0 yesterday. I now find that my indispensable TinyURL link tab that had been in my toolbar in the previous FF version has disappeared and is not to be found anywhere. I tried the missing add-ons "fix" featured on the FF website but it did nothing. I need this TinyURL link badly. Can anyone tell me how to make it visible again in FF7.0? Thank you.

For the Comcast Toolbar see Comcast for an updated version of that Toolbar.

Can't update acrobat 8 to 8.1, on Intel Mac

I can't update acrobat 8 to 8.1, on Intel Mac. I says I need to reactivate plug-ins. Version 8 won't run Distiller.

Hi Kristan,
I checked and fileVault has been off and I tried uninstalling. After reinstalling when I went to upgrade either it didn't do any good, gave me the message it couldn't upgrade because of some plug-in/ETC. or Acrobat was grayed out when I went to select it as the program location to upgrade.
I did find the blog, pasted below, but doing all this hasn't helped.
I will try again but I need to know, should I allow the autoupdaterer do the update or should I do it manually? Or any other suggestions you may be able to give me.
Thank you
John

Distiller 8 problem with Intel Mac?
Julie Gallagher - 09:54am Dec 3, 2007 Pacific
I just upgraded my desktop Mac in order to install CS3. I'm already running CS3 on a G4PB with no problems. Aside from the Intel/PPC difference, both computers have the same setups and files, both currently running OSX.4.11. (The new computer was set up by migrating setups from the old computer via firewire, then CS3 was installed.)
On the new computer, when I try to distill a file with Distiller 8, the file doesn't process (error message below). The same file processes OK with Distiller 7 on the new computer, also with Distiller 8 on the G4PB. The results are the same whether I'm using prebuilt or custom Distiller settings.

OK - solved it (on my Mac at least)...
Firstly, what I think the problem is is that the 8.1.2 update do not mention the word English - I got onto this clue when I studied the installer log for 8.0 Professional - it showed that distiller was only installed to 8.1 - I was baffled and examined the files at length, then went through this...
1. Uninstall Adobe Acrobat Professional
2. Go to the Adobe site and download Bridge Start Meeting 1.0.1 (I believe the uninstaller crashes components in this and if you install without in firstly installed - the installer will ask you for the disk containing it).
3. Remember this is the install and fix for an APPLE MAC Intel mac...
4. Install Acrobat Professional 8.0 from your original CS3 DVD
5. Go to Adobe site and download Acrobat Professional Update 8.10 (file name should read AcroProUpd810_efgi.dmg, and I believe the efgi bit is English, French, German, Italian, and as it clearly mentions English I think I (and many like me) messed up by using the 8.1.2 update which doe NOT mention English and obviously does not update Distiller, in fact, I think and feel - it probably corrupts it...
I hope this helps those suffering like me (it took ages to work this one out), tied now - I need a beer....

Oops - sorry - the text from the 8.1.2 release...
"This multilingual update can be applied to Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish versions of Acrobat 8 Professional. For more information, see the technical document describing the Acrobat 8.1.2 update in the Support Knowledgebase."
No mention of English - only Multiple Languages...

Where did you see that text at? The 8.1.2 is for English as well as 14 other languages.

Experimented: iPS with latest update "conflicts" with Intel Mac mini

Hello everyone.
Please see my earlier post first as "background story":
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=602573
So I have 2 1Gb iPod Shuffles, one mine, one my sister's. My sister's, the 1st time I plugged into her new Intel Mac mini, it asked for an iPod Update, I clicked "Yes" and proceeded with the update.
After that, I set the iPS with Disk Mode, it appears on the Desktop, when I launched or inside iTunes, once I hit the "Autofill" button, the shuffle unmount and disappear from the desktop immediately, leaving behind a 'warning message' with red exclamation mark, the same when you pull out a thumb drive or turn off an external drive, without unmounting them first.
My own shuffle, I did not apply the latest iPod Updater
When I bring the 2 iPS to my own iMac G5, both with same settings (Disk Mode etc) mounts perfectly on the Desktop, inside iTunes, I can 'Autofill' BOTH shuffles.
When I plug my non-updated shuffle into my sis's Intel Mac mini, it mounts nicely, and when hit with Autofill, it does so nicely without "self-unmounting" at all.
So in the end? I swap my shuffle with my sis, and make sure she never ever update the shuffle, at least for the time being.
So what does this show?? That the iPod shuffle with the latest update may have a conflict of instability with Intel-based Macs??
Thanks and cheers

Hi Howwow,
To add a detail: my updated Shuffle works like a charm on my old iBook and not on my new Intel MacBook. So I am convinced it is in the Shuffle/Intel combination. I did try undoing the update on the shuffle (reverting back to 2005-11-17), but that made no difference on my Intel MacBook.
Regards
