Application Update for imac

I have a cerca 2008 iMac with a dashboard that has an "Applications Update" that used to search my computer for flaws. It still begins the search, but the response is now "V Tracker couldn't parse version!" or "V.Tracker App not found!". It has not worked in awhile. What gives?

I am not familiar with that widget. However, I would guess that it has not been updated to run on the latest version of OS X.

  • How can I get the Application DVD for IMAC Late 2009?

    How can I get the Application DVD for IMAC Late 2009?

    Disk 2 of the original disks that came with the computer?
    Call Apple, give them your computer serial number, and they will ship you disks for a small charge if disks are available. Go to the Apple Store for your country, then to the bottom of the page//Contact Us for the correct telephone number.
    If that isn't what you ant, can you provide more information?

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • Application Build for Imac G5

The development environment is IMac INTEL CORE 2 DUO TIGER and XCODE and the application is running fine on the iMac G4 with tiger or leopard on it . I have user universal binaries while building the application . However not the application doesn't run at all on the iMac G5 (ppc).

  • Application updates for os 10.3.9

    I did a clean install of 10.3 to remedy kernal panic. All seems better except I cannot find an adobe player install that works. Also, where can I find a version of iTunes compatible with 10.3.9. I just purchased 10.4 update off eBay but it won't arrive for a few days.

    Sorry, but Apple seems to have removed the last version of iTunes that would work under Mac OS X 10.3. You'll need to wait until your copy of 10.4 arrives. Note that you won't be able to run the latest version of iTunes, iTunes 10, even with 10.4.

  • Software update for iMac OS X 10.5.8

    I'm looking to upgrade an iMac with OS X 10.5.8 to read the new iphone 5s. Am I correct in thinking that Snow LeopardOS X 6 is the way to go?

    The minimum is v10.6.8 to sync with an iPhone 5S as noted here > Apple - iPhone 5s - Technical Specifications
    Before purchasing v10.6 Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meest the requirements >  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Snow Leopard can be purchased from the Apple Store >  Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store

  • Can I schedule iMovie update for specific time?

    Apple OS X Mavericks question:
    Having been a loyal Microsoft Windows user since the beginning in 1985, I just recently gave up and moved to an Apple MacBook Pro (Microsoft really messed up with Win 8, IMO).
    I really like the machine and OS X.
    My question: Does anyone know if you can schedule application updates for a particular time on OS X Mavericks? I must use satellite broadband which has data limits except after 2 AM. I have an application update for iMovie which is 1.97 GB in size and my broadband allotment per day is only 1 GB total (during normal hours before 2 AM).
    I would like to schedule the update for the unlimited hours after 2 AM if this is possible.
    It appears this may not be an option on OS X, from what I have been able to find.  Sorry if this is a "stupid" question.  After 29 years of being a Windows power user, it is strange to be a neophyte again! :-)
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    I have this same problem, and posted about it this early this week, at that time I did not see this solution. Here is how I solved the problem - I mostly use Linux so this is a Mac unix solution.
    From darwin ports I installed wget.
    Using the apple support download site I selected each update I needed, started the download then immediately canceled the download. In the downloads window I right clicked on the download to get the url.
    With the text editor I created a shell script and placed the wget command with the url.
    Here is my example script for the updates to iTunes and GarageBand
    #! /bin/sh
    PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/cow:/us r/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
    cd /Users/cow/Downloads
    wget http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/061-4294.20080303.B5T3a/G arageBand412.dmg
    wget http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes7/Mac/061-4 265.20080221.MscTs/iTunes.dmg
    exit 0
    Save the script in some location like Documents as updates.sh From the terminal do a chmod ugo+rx updates.sh
    Then add the script to crontab with the terminal enter crontab -e (It will use vi as the editor) My Entry is:
    10 03 * * * /Users/cow/Documents/updates.sh
    The next day just comment out your crontab entry.
    This will work for all kinds of updates, also good for getting large packages from darwin ports.

  • Why does it take so long to install updates for MacBook Pro?

    My Dell Desktop never took so long to install system updates or updates to my iPod. I thought since this is a Mac, that updating my iPod would be fairly quick...12 hours is unacceptable.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    153.8 MB on disk (153,825,280 bytes). No other wi-fi devices, but it's done now...finally.  Also, I accidentally downloaded updates for iMac so that probably didn't help my cause...oops.   When I get my own place I will have a broadband connection or whatever is the fastest.  We can't get it out where I live right now.  Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

  • I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when i try to update them i'm told To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though i bought it and it is on my iMac!

    I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when I try to update them through App Store I'm told that "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though I bought it and it is on my iMac! Any suggestions on what I need to do?

    Hi...
    Delete both apps using this utility >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    That will delete the apps and all associated files.
    Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
