After restoring 10.5.6 (thanks to 10.5.7), ALL downloads defective!

I made the mistake of installing 10.5.7, and it all but destroyed my pretty-much-vanilla system on my Mac Pro, to the point that I couldn't even archive-and-install from my original Leopard disk. Had to use Carbon Copy Cloner to restore a backup of my Mac HD from my 1-terabyte USB drive. Everything works -- the net, email, applications, etc -- BUT any files of ANY type downloaded from ANY source (including Apple) now arrive corrupted. If I try to open or activate 'em, Disk Utility launches but finds no problems. Anyone else encountered this, or have a fix?

Why are you running updates when you are on the road?
Go to an Apple store, or get a friend with an Apple, and a Firewire cable. Put your machine in Target Mode, and attach to another Mac. Download the 10.5.6 Combo, and reinstall that.

  • Ipad 2 is asking for apple id after restoring

    I work for a school and we handed out several ipad 2 ,3 and airs over the years. It has come to my attention that I cannot go into recovery mode and restore an ipad any longer with out it asking for an apple id after restored. The problem is that several if not all are asking for staffs own apple ids. Is their a way to change this or can apple change this for me. Our school has purchased all of these from apple. The other big question is how did their ID become paired up with that ipad?

    Hi bgs47,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like iPads that have been restored are prompting for the previous user's Apple ID. This feature is called Activation Lock, and occurs when the user has signed in to the device with their iCloud account and turned on Find my iPhone:
    With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
    With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Sign out of iCloud on your device
    Erase and reactivate your device
    From:
    iCloud: Activation Lock
    If the user is not available to enter their information into the device, they can remove it from their iCloud account by following these steps:
    Contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
    Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
    After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
    You can find these steps and more information about Activation Lock here:

  • Stuck on Itunes and Usb Logo after Restoring?

    So i updated my iPhone from 6.1.3 to 6.1.6 and did not back it up. After the update, i restore it (Deleting all the files and datas).
    And then after the restore, the iPhone is rebooting, then it is again in the Itunes and Usb logo asking me to restore it over again.
    I have restore it 2 times, and it is annoying! What to do now? How can i bypass this after restoring the Phone?

    Thanks for reply, but the problem still not solved. On iTunes > Devices (iPhone), the message "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
    What the meaning of *only compatible SIM cards*? How to buy or get that card?

  • Hello that is able to separate an apple icloud account My IMEI. I buy a Used iphone ios 7.1.1 5c but after restore it asks me iCloud account.I have no contact with the seller. thank you for your reply.

    Hello
    that is able to separate an apple icloud account My IMEI *******.
    I buy a Used iphone 5c ios 7.1.1  but after restore it asks me iCloud account.
    I have no contact with the seller.
    thank you for your reply
    <Edited by Host>

    The iPhone has Activation Lock and will require you to have the previous owner's Apple ID and password or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPhone for a refund if you can.
    Regards.

  • HT1414 Hi, I did all thoses steps but after restoring I have this message:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." Could you help me Pleasse!? Thanks

    Please help me with my iphone 3G, I backed it up and restored it(step by step) but after restoring I have this message:"
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    ". My phone worked properly before with my sim card

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

  • Hi, anyone can help me? I can't activated my ip4 after restored n updated and it's showed activation server is temporarily unavailable and the device can't read my SIM card,can someone please help me....thanks

    It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.

  • Error 150:30 after restoring CS4 from Time Machine backup

    I just got myself a new Imac with OS X Maverick and set it up using a time-machine-backup. My Adobe CS4 now has a Problem with the license and shows me error: 150:30?

    Thank you anyone for some help.

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

    thanks!

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • File not found error after restore the sitecollection

    Hi,
    I backed up a MOSS sitecollection using "stsadm -o backup" and then restored the same file in the other machine/server. No problems while creating backup and doing restores . But after restore is successfull and try to open the site ..it is giving me
    an error "File not found".Any idea?

    Hey Anikota,
    That's usually caused by a Master Page url error.  Open the site in SPD and then open the default.aspx page.  If you see an error regarding the Master Page in the design view then go to the code view and manually correct the Maste Page URL.
    I hope that helps!

  • HELP! Without any prompting for such a download, Firefox tells me 'Thank You for choosing Firefox 4', & I have lost ALL of my bookmarks! I absolutely need to restore them, please please help. Not impressed at all!

    I am shellshocked.... so far I am not happy with Firefox's latest effort. When I first got this version, my 'saved tabs' function did not work, which I use regularly, and I lost vital site information with the update. I figured out how to fix this by changing a setting, and figured my problems were over.
    But NOW without any prompting from me, Firefox re-opened, having lost the tabs I had, yet again, and instead opened up two new tabs, 'Welcome to FireFox' (ty for choosing firefox4), and 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', AND I have lost all my bookmarks!, WTF! Please help me to restore them, I have tried the help info provided, but they are still not restored :( Some of those treasured bookmarks, an extensive list, I will never get again, unless I can restore the ones I had. :( NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen. sync after restore

    Authorized new hard drive for iTunes. Did backup then restored from back up, transferred previously purchased library to iPod Touch. Following restore, all purchased music, downloaded CDs AND games remained on the iPod Touch. Good so far.....then tried to sync device so all downloaded CDs would go out to the iTunes library, but got the message "iPod Touch is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase his iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library." Don't want to lose the games and downloaded CD songs but sounds like that will happen if I click "Erase and Sync". Any suggestions on how to keep the games, etc.? Should I just ignore the message? Will that cause other problems? Thanks!

    - Transfer non-iTune purchassed muic to the computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After everthing is on the "new" computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iod from that backup.

  • IPod shuffle does not recognized by iTunes after restore

    Hello
    I have a iPod shuffle (4th gen) and a windows laptop.
    After restoring my iPod shuffle (as directed by iTunes), iTunes does not recognized my iPod anymore.
    The data in the iPod has been deleted (ie return to the factory settings), but iTunes does not proceed to prompt me to name my iPod and set up sync options etc, it simply does nothing and does not recognize my iPod. 
    I went on My Computer, and reformatted the iPod shuffle again. As a result of the reformatting, iTunes recognizes my iPod but it requires me to restore my iPod back to factory settings again. It became a cycle of either recognizing the iPod but asking me to restore it; or does not recognize my iPod after restoration.
    Please kindly assist me with this situation as it is rather frustrating.
    iTunes is in the latest version as I have attempted the trouble shooting support on the webpage.
    Many thanks.

    Hi priscillayeung,
    If you are having issues with your iPod being recognized by your Windows computer but not by iTunes (or being recognized but requiring a restore, which then causes it to not be recognized again), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
