Again macosx 10.4.6 update for imac intel

as i see im not the only one who has problems with it.. so, i have only a isdn connection (64 kbit) but it works fine.. so.. i couldnt download the update via macosx update service, so i downloaded it on the apple support site, with a download manager, because my provider cuts the connection every 8 hours. i have an imac 1,83ghz intel with 512mb ram etc..
everytime i try to install the update im able to get to the point "choose target volume" but thats it. i cant choose the macintosh HD as target volume, because there is an error message: "you cant install macosX update (intel) on this volume. this volume does not fulfill the qualifications for this update."
i have 123gigs free memory on the hd, the update takes only 436mb it says..
so.. i feel remembered to a meaningless windows error message...
thank you!

Hi Mario, my best guess.
You don't say what version of 10.4 you are on now but if it is 10.4.4 you cannot use the 10.4.6 update, as it is incremental, you need the 10.4.6 Combo Update for Intel.
Hence the message, "this volume does not fulfill the qualifications for this update"?
Best to take a disk to a friend with broadband or an Apple store as sig says.

I just downloaded software update for iMac Intel Core i5 10.6.8 and Office applications are frozen

I just loaded a software update and word will not save, entourage will not add documents, and is anybody else experiencing this. Download was about 45 mins ago on 2/1/12 Californai time (8:10pm).

Hi there,
Thank you for your response – I am running 10.6.8 (apologies for any confusion).
I have just returned from a meeting so was pleasantly surprised to see so many responses. And I normally *do* know better and in my old job I would have never updated whilst on a deadline. Somehow working from home (only my second week) has made me forget all the rules!
Any suggestions welcome. Meanwhile will try what others have come up with.
Cheers

Since most recent OS update, my iMac intel won't open my HP Officejet 4500 scanner. I have un-installed and re-installed the 10.8.3 update and the dame with HP drivers. I get the essage (HP scanner won't open because of a problem". Suggestions???

It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

Need genealogy program for imac intel

I need genealogy program for new imac intel. My old program was for Apple G II S. Have viewed program called heredis mac x.2 but don't know if it is compatible for imac intel. All new territory for me. Thank you, Lisa

Though I don't have an Intel Mac, I use both Heredis and Reunion. You could check with each company about Intel compatibility.
I keep my file in both because the FH represents the greatest investment of time for anything on the computer. I want always to have a usable file so dont put all my eggs in one basket.
Reunion is a bit more versatile inrespect of the fundamental structures but Heredis uses a different basic construction which I wanted as a reserve. Heredis is about £20 less expensive here in UK than Reunion.
One specific thing about Heredis is that it stores the actual data file or files as documents in the user documents folder. You need to realise what these things are in said folder and not delete them by accident.
The down side of using two different programmes is that of synchronisation. If you add new data in one app you need to add it manually in the other. I would never trust it to GEDCOM transfer to transfer all fields correctly especially if you have data in the more esoteric fields of any particular programme.
Heredis has an ability to display a 3d tree showing all, I repeat all the relationships including the families of removed cousins etc rather like a complex organic molecule. It is zoomable and you can get text data displayed from any person box, any 'atom' ,to pursue the analogy. It has source and repository features just as good as the more expensive Reunion. It may be ruled out for some though. It has no tab to indicate the 'disposal' of a family member as being "abducted by aliens', whereas Reunion has!

OS X 10.7.3 WiFi Update for iMacs and Wake from Sleep Problem

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501
Apple has released a software update for those suffering from the iMac wake from sleep/wifi connection issue that resulted from updating to 10.7.3. It fixes the problem for me and several others. For those still suffering this issue, download it and see how it works!

To answer my own question it seems a workaround is to wake the iMac up using the power button rather than the keyboard. The WiFi reconnects this way.

Graphics Firmware update for iMac with with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT

I am one of the many with an 06 24" iMac that has the graphics card glitch. Downloaded and installed this firmware update today and worked all day with no issues. The update says it is for users that are running Windows 7 in boot camp.
Is this coincidental and the firmware fixed the issue so many of us have with these iMacs with the NVIDIA cards or did I just jinx myself and my problems are bound to return?
Guess I will know soon enough!
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

I've seen all sorts graphics problems mentioned. Apple sells millions of Macs per years, so any potential problem is bound to happen to at least a few customers. Assuming that people can read your mind is not a very good way to get responses.
On the other hand, if you describe the problem in detail, people reading the forum and looking for solutions may actually find your post through a keywords search, and your finding about installing the firmware update for Windows 7 may help then too, after confirming their problem is similar to your problem.
But that's up to you...

HT1338 Update for Lion denied; Upgrade for Mountain Lion blocked for iMac Intel

For several months I've been denied an update for OS X 10.7 and other software updates with a statement: "You no longer have permission". How would I lose permission? I haven't found any remedies yet. So I thought I would upgrade to Mountain Lion. I paid the $19.95 through the App store and find that the upgrade is blocked. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Yup, I'm experiencing the exact same thing.
I (and many others) are experiencing the same or similar issues with the 10.8.3 update.
I've sent an response to Apple but have not yet received anything back (yet).

WWAN Support Update 1.0 how come no support for imac intel?

imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Agreed. I think it's pretty presumptuous of Apple to decide how we are going to use our computers.
Being able to use my U720 on the iMac would be quite handy in a number of situations. As it is, we're forced to use a router, (none of which support the U720 very well at this point)

Can one upgrade the graphic card for Imac (intel based)?

can one upgrade the graphic card in an Imac (intel based)?

While anything is theoretically possible, you would need to find another GPU that is compatible with your specific model iMac, and you would need to modify OS X to use a driver appropriate for whatever you propose to install. Future OS X updates would break it in short order. Not only that, you'd void whatever warranty that remains. It's not worth it.

Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

Hi there,
I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
Desparate..

What's the best quality and cheapest 1GB RAM seller for iMac Intel?

I am looking to buy a 1GB RAM chip for my iMac Intel. However, this can be very expensive when bought straight from Apple. Where else can I get 1GB of RAM for a cheap price that will give me the quality I am looking for?
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8) Currently have 512 MB RAM on iMac

Yes, you can successfully use a single 1Gb module. You can just as well add a second one that isn't matched. However, it should be very easy to match RAM modules without buying the second one from Apple. To be "matched" they must both be same speed, same size, same number of component chips on both sides.
Size is easy, both 1GB. Speed is easy, both PC2-5300 667MHz. Component chips - little black square or rectangular chips attached to one or both sides of the board. Count the number on each side of the board and duplicate that configuration and the two modules, one from Apple and one from xyz company, will be "matching" RAM. If there are 4 on the front and 4 on the back, buy another like that. If there are 8 on one side, and none on the other, buy another like that.

Best 2nd monitor for iMac Intel 20"

A few months back I stumbled upon a great article comparing Apple and 3rd party monitors that could match up well with the iMac Intel 20".. of course I can't find it now that I'm using actually using this iMac. I'm curious to hear your experiences/views on 2nd monitors that match up well for this specific computer. Thanks

There is a MiniDVI output port on this iMac. Simply purchase one of the following adaptors and configure the dual display in Apple menu > System Preferences... > Displays. (The options appear when you connect the display):
Mini DVI - DVI
Mini DVI - VGA
Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
DVI will also certainly provide the best picture quality but the exact choice of display depends on your budget and intended usage. For example budget LCD displays are inappropriate for work that requires colour accuracy.
Your iMac will support displays with the following resolutions:
Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
Analogue resolutions up to 2045 x 1536

OS X install disk for iMac Intel

My imac intel HD needs repair. I booted with the Install disk. Started Disk Untilies app. I can not use the mouse to select, verify/repair permission or verify/repair disk. I can not quit the app via the mouse, only with the keyboard. Dose anyone have an idea what is going on? And how can I repair the HD.

To answer your questions.
1 Yes, it is the wired mosuse that shipped with the iMac.
2 Within the Disk Utilities app, the mouse wwill not allow me to select "Permissions or Reair bottons. They are noe grayed ot out. Also, I can not quit the app via the mouse. If I choose any options from the menu that offers a dialog box with options, I can not select any options. I can only use the keyboards Return key to choose the default option.
3. I ahve considered the mouse as a source of the problem. But when I ran the "Verify Disk" from the Disk Utilities on the HD, I get several "Illegal Name" response.
4. Also, from the OSX installer disk, I can not go beyond the 1st Installer page. The mouse, point & click, will not work. But no problem with the mouse when booting from the HD.
This is verey odd. Is it a faulty DVD installer disk?? Have been a Apple user from 1982 and Mac user since 84, I guess I expected a better product.
