Auto update to 10.6.8 and now mail is not working

My grandfathers computer just ran an auto update to OS X version 10.6.8. Now when I go to open mail it says it can not run with this version. Mail version is 4.5.

I had similar problems and I always avoid auto-updates.
If the original Snow Leopard works boot from the DVD and erase zeroing the whole Machine after a User Folder BackUP with Carbon Copy Cloner
If the DVD doesn't work or the DVD reader in the machine is dead.
Find a SL install copy a drive or a pendrive
1 Install snow Leopard from any Snow Leopard DVD in a hard drive or a pan without systems including Rosetta and Qtime 7
2 Download the 10.6.8 Combo package from Apple
3 Upgrade the new installed system in your drive or pen
4 Use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up "ONLY" the user folder with the various foders
5 Boot the computer from your Drive or Pen erase zeroing the whole machine it will take time but just erasing is never enough as a lot of dangerous stuff hides there,
6 With Carbon Copy duplicate the newly installed system in your GranPa computer or using the original disk and the COMBO upgrade
7 Back up the various files, pictures with CCC in the machine
This takes time but it works usually.

Installed OS X 10.5.6 AND NOW MAIL DOES NOT WORK

Installed the newest operating system and Mail does not send or receive messages from the .mac/mobile me account. In fact there are no old messages in any of the folders (inbox,sent,junk,drafts, or trash). New messages can be read and sent online but nothing through Mail.
I have deleted the account and added it new again in preferences. I have deleted Mail and reinstalled it. I have made sure the account is "Online" and still nothing. Activity shows no progress and Connection doctor says I am connected to both incoming and outgoing mail servers. Help?!!

I am not sure what your attempts to fix this may have created, but the original issue may be what is discussed in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
In addition to the article cited, if you ran 10.3 or earlier prior to upgrading to Tiger, once-upon-a-time, you might also need to remove two files with MessageSorting in their names.
More info, please. Your issue may not be what is targeted by the article, particularly if you could see any messages in any mailbox?

Itunes was updated on my windows computer and now itunes will not work

While downloading an update of itunes, I rec'd an error message that it was not installed successfully. Now if I try to start itunes I get a message "APSDaemon.exe system error Program connot start because MSVCR80.dll is missing. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program 4 times with no success. I tried doing a "repair install" with no success. Another error message I rec. is Apple Mobil Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I am the owner of this computer and I have been using itunes with my ipad and iphone for several years with no problem on the upgrades.
Please help this is very frustrating and time consuming . I have run McAfee full scan and ther are no issues.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod Touch. It says the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver cannot be installed.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod touch. After the update I got a message that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver could not be installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times, but still cannot fix the problem. I have followed the suggested fixes in Apple Support. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try the actions here for that driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Prompted to update iTunes today and now it does not work. tried reinstalling and caanot successfully reinstall.

prompted to update iTunes today and now it does not work. tried reinstalling and caanot successfully reinstall.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation.

Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the update to 3.6.6

Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
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 Source list, and then click Restore.

Try resetting your iPad:
Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working. Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

I use dashcode for most of my coding needs, so it is very important to me!

I have the same problem too. dashcode shows up in the finder but its just a question mark (see screenshot). Anyone found a way to address this?
Thanks!

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.
