Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX

iWork Pages 09 (updated) will not start up using Lion OSX. It did work at one time but now it won't. I reinstalled iWork several times with updates but the applications say to reinstall or check the developer. I'm using an i-Mac Intel with updated downloads for all applications. Thank You in Advance for your thoughts to solving this concern.

What else have you been doing just before this problem started? Any other updates on the computer? If you need to reinstall iWork which some has when upgrading to Lion after a complete uninstall.
To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive and run the script.
Now you can instal iwork again and do the updates.

"System Update could not start properly" - New error just started (WinXP SP3)

I can no longer run System Update; it displays the splash screen, then a small window pops up with the above error message. I just ran it last a day or two ago, and it installed a few things; since then I have also run Microsoft Update and it also installed a few things, which I backed out one at a time (except for the malicious software removal updates)--all to no avail. Anyone else seen this, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan
--T61 (6460-8VU) - WinXP SP3, all the latest patches (except for KB961260, which is still backed out); .NETFramework 3.5 SP1

Hello,
I have reinstalled the system update after I did clean and download the last version from Lenovo website but still have the same pop up message says: Syystem Update could not start properly.
what's wrong??????

System Update could not start properly

Have recently been getting this error: System Update could not start properly
It worked fine (even getting itself updated) for over a year that I've had the machine (a T-61, 14.1", 4G ram, 200G hd, nvidea, running XP Professional, SP3)
Any thoughts?

Presario CQ61-104SV after bios update computer not start

Hello,
I made an update on BIOS inside windows. When the update start the fan start working very noisy. The update ended succesfully and shutdown the computer. The computer was connected to AC power without battery. After the shutdown the computer can not start. When I connect it to power, the power led turn on for 4 seconds and then turn off. I tried the keys combination (windows keys + B + power button) but nothing happen. The computer seems to be dead. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

yeah, seems like the same symptoms.
my version was 3.6 from october 2004. Version 3.5 from september works fine except for the cpu temperature beeing displayed too high in bios...
rollback to 2.5 did not work, still the same though i did not do the thing with the cmos-reset via jumper. will try this today...

IPod failure after update : do not panick (too much)

This message is both to thank helpers on the forum that saved me from having to send my iPod to repair and to those of you who are (or about) to experience the same problem.
My profile :
40Go 4th generation iPod with 20Go music in, always handled with extreme care, used daily for 16 months (so out of warranty) without a slightest faillure, including ripping to my new computer.
PowerBook G4 under Mac OSX 10.4.6. Just to say my message won’t help PC users, sorry.
Connection Firewire or USB2.
My nightmaric experience of 2006-03-23 update.
After I had updated, I transferred a recent playlist OK onto the iPod but to my surprise read 0 playlists, artists, songs etc on the iPod screen and could not access any tracks.
Did the 5Rs several times with no success, ie different alarm signals would show (not the sad face icon though), the iPod would not connect or would refuse to disconnect or would freeze every app. on my computer which always get a bit scarying. Checked the iPod under disk utility found out several errors.
After much fiddling around and thanks to fantastic help on the forum (track these by browsing my posts), I think I can tell you now what to do if the same happens to you and help you to recover a fully functional iPod in a couple of hours. But beware that this only applies if you don’t have any physical damage of your hardware. My iPod never made the strange noises that many users report. I should add that I am absolutely convinced that it is the update that interferes with some iPod models and so just the software has to be reinitialized.
First try a 5R of course, but if this does not solve the problem (in my case it surely did not), switch to disk mode and connect your iPod. If it opens iTunes, quit iTunes and go to disk utility. First check the disk in the SOS panel. It will give you an idea of bad sectors and/or failure to complete. If the checking is OK proceed to erase with the security option « zero out data ». If the disk has bad sectors, you should first do a quick erase with the « don’t erase data » option, then check if the disk passes the check up. If yes return to erase and erase again by selecting « zero out data ». The computer will warn you that you are going to lose functions of the iPod but don’t worry, you will restore these straight afterwards. This reformatting will take maybe a couple of hours but you should see it progressing smoothly with the elapsing time moving on. After it is completed, re-check the disk once more. You are now ready to restore, and I recommend that you do it using a previous soft version, eg, 2006-01-10 for instance, not 2006-03-23 which initially caused the problem. It may freeze while restoring. Don’t panick and try restoring again. I was successful at my second go. Complete restoring, as asked on your computer, by plugging to power supply. Then enter your own settings, langage etc, and come back to your computer, go to iTunes and…
… I wish you that, a couple of minutes later, you have hundreds songs back onto your favorite music companion and that you are ready for hours of bog-free listening like I am now.
Just to end up, I’d like to thank all the helpers on the forum (Mitch, Lyssa, Jeff… and co.) who give a lot of their time to the community in avery friendly way. I am in touch with Apple so that if ever the problem happens to be reasonably frequent, they do release a note asap.
Best of luck to everyone don’t hesitate to contact me on this thread if you need more details on the procedure, I’ll try to help as much as I can but I am not an expert just a regular user of Apple computers and slightly ; ) addicted to music and daily use of iPod (so not so mad afterall… ; ).
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) iPod 40G 4th gen

Don't give up HOPE ** this work for Mac users only**
so, after 4 days of trying the disk utility erase mode-- sometimes working sometimes not,,, ditto to all of these posts- my ipod seemed to have a hard drive failure the way it was clicking-- anyways-- here is what worked for me--
hold the middle button and play/pause until you see the check mark- (this puts the ipod into disk mode)
plug it in to your computer
open up the disk utility
choose Mac OS extended - **make sure the jornaled in not selected, and also **uncheck install OS9
then erase- you may get the question about naming your ipod if itunes opens and all that -- I'd name it, but make sure you check the option to manually update- you don't want to keep the box checked to sync with your itunes at this point-then eject it by using the eject button from itunes in the window on the left-
go to your ipod software updater folder (located in your utilities folder)---- here's the catch- the only updater that seemed to work for me- after 4 days of torment- was the
11-17-05 updater!- (I actually talked to a tech. on the phone and he said the latest update does not have a bug-yeah right,that's when all my problems started- but he said the one before it does!!- thanks for letting us know apple!)
so, double click it- hit restore - and wow- it actually worked- Good luck peeps- I know, myself, I was very disappointed in apple with this situation- My warranty ran out two months ago!- like many others I see here, I feared i was looking at another 300 dollars for the 30GB- but, alass it worked Amen- Let me know if I can help anyone- I'll check back on the board soon- to answer any questions i can

After updating to yosemite, start up and recovery mode freeze

I recently got a 2010 Macbook Pro off of ebay and it was on 10.6 so I decided to update to 10.10. After updating it told me to restart so I did. Well after restarting the spinning wheel froze so I restarted it again. It does the same thing. I googled around to see if anyone had the same problem as me, plenty of people did, they said that they found the recovery partition and the Mac started working again, so I tried finding the recovery partition by pressing shift, option, and r (or something like that) and it turns out I don't have one. Then I tried Internet Recovery and that was a bust too, so now in stuck with a $700 paperweight. I'll post the sspecs on my Macbook below -

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After Effects CS6 Not Starting?

Hello,
I have hard drive issues, usually resulting in corruption or deletion of Windows dll's. Each time I run a chkdsk /f in my command prompt, it fixes the disk issues, but manages to delete a dll from one of my Adobe CS6 Production Premium Softwares. Last time, it was a dll from Premiere Pro. Now, it's from After Effects. It lost the boost_threads.dll file, which I replaced, but now the program will not start with error message 0xc000007b. Simply replacing the dll working in fixing Premiere Pro, but it won't do the same in AE...
Any ideas on what could be causing this and some fixes?
Thanks in advance,
Jack Reynolds
Windows 8.1, Fully Updated. After Effects CS6.

If it gives you a splash screen at all while it's starting, you should be able to see the version number.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5696
That's the link to the update file for AE. You could try running it to see if it works.
Reynolds Films 2014 wrote:
It came as a package for the Production Premium CS6, so to reinstall it, I would have to reinstall the whole suite, which isn't going to work entirely well...
Why not? People uninstall the whole suite and reinstall it all the time to fix issues such as the one you mention.

10.4.1 update does not start.

Hi, everybody.
I've just checked for some possible updates on my iTunes (running on Windows).
But if I click the proper buttons to start the download (as I'm always used to), the pop-up just minimizes and appears once again after a few seconds; so I am supposed to click once again the same button, but the process does not start and the pop-up appears again.
Is there anyone who might help me please?
Thanks.

I have had problems with MS Word after two other OS updates (including 10.4.6). This may not work for you; however, it did for me (and it was what MS advised me for my font corruption indication problem): Re-boot holding the shift key down (to perform a Safe Boot). Hold it down until the red "Safe Boot" nomenclature is seen on the log in screen. Starting up in a Safe Boot clears the font cache automatically. Then, just re-boot normally. This might work. If not, no gain, no loss. Hope it helps you.

After Update Trigger not triggering for first update

Hi All,
I have written a Trigger on AP_SUPPLIERS table to update AP_SUPPLIER_SITES_ALL when payment priority gets updated on AP_SUPPLIERS table. Trigger calls a pragma autonomous procedure after update happens, and updates sites table. We are on R12 (12.1.3) with DB 11.2.0.3.0
Somehow this is not working for the first update, after that for every update it is working. Any idea why this might be happening?

Smartwatch 2 not working (update does not start, SW is stuck)

Hello. I just bought SW2. I turned on NFC on my phone and placed SW2 on the back of my phone. Phone and SW2 made connection. SmartConnect was installed on my phone BUT then it wants me to install SW2 app (release date 13.12.2013). OK it installs the SW2 app and then progress bar appears on my SW2 and thats it. No progress at all. Phone just saying "downloading updates to SW2" but never starts. I waited two hours but nothing happend.
I try to describe averything I have tried in detail, hoping so that someone can help me.
I tried to use Sony Mobile Update service. I connected SW2 to my PC and Sony Mobile update service said that there is update available. So I do the update, SW2 restarts BUT then all starts over again. SW2 app is still trying to download updates but nothing happens. I tried to uninstall everything and reinstalling SmartConnect and SW2 app but that did not help.
Then I used someone elses phone. I connected SW2 with other phone than mine, pairing worked, SW2 app managed to install the updates (this is where i got stuck with my phone) on SW2 and everything worked. Then I did reset on the SW2 and paired with my phone again. Pairing seems to work. Phone says that SW2 is connected BUT nothing really works. No notifications, facebook app does not show anything. Smart Music Player does not work, Smart Camera does not work. When I click on any app that needs to interact with my phone, a "waiting bar" appears for a few seconds and then nothing, silence. Whe I turn off the bluetooth on my phone, the SW2 app says that SW is disconnected and then I trun on the bluetooth, then it connects again. SW2 and phone seems to be connected but it seems that no information is moving between them. And then there is the battery drain. When SW2 and phone are "connected", the battery on my phone lasts about 3 hours max.
So I tried the Sony Mobile Update service again. Suprisingly. update was available, even tough I did the update befoe AND with my friends phone. So i do the update again and now I am back where I started - my SW2 and phone are "connected" and SW2 app wants to install updates to SW2 but the downloading process does not start and I can not use SW2 without it. So I need my friends phone again just so that I can use SW2 as a regular watch.
My phone:
LG-P940 (Prada 3.0)
Android 4.0.4 ICS
I have heard that people with LG phones are experiencing the same issue...

It seems that we are suffering from the same problem I also have an LG phone aswell.

HT5706 Apple TV 3 light blinking after update attempt, not working

Apple TV not working after update attempt. The Apple TV light just keeps blinking can not turn it off and unplugging it for 30 seconds is not a remedy. I have tried that several times.I have only had this for a few weeks now I am vary disappointed.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
