Can't iinstal iSight updater 1.0.2 for my OS X.2.8 mac

Boy am I frustrated. My mac isn't that old and I'm having a bad time finding proper assistance from the apple sight. Seems like if you don't have at least Panther, you're NO ONE!!! And my mac's only a couple years old - I run 10.2.8 and it was EXPENSIVE.
Anyway my brother got me an isight camera so we could communicate while he is overseas. Trying to iinstall the iSight updator from the following page http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/isightfwupdater.html and it downloads the 1.3 version. OF COURSE. SHOULD I BE SHOCKED? NO.
Does anyone have any siggestions, or do I have to give Apple more of my hard earned money and now upgrade to Panther in order to get anything working correctly? Seems like the same problem exists for browsers now. Really frustrating. I'v ebeen a loyal apple customer for a very long time. Sometimes I don't feel much appreciated by them, especially when I keep having to BUY upgrades.
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

Hi Kristin,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
I am a little surprised to find that a Mac "Only a couple of years old" was sold with 10.2.x on it. (or even 10.1.x if you paid for Jaguar)
Jaguar came with iChat 1.x which can not Video or Audio chat.
There was later a Beta (up to May 2004) and then a Paid for A/V version of iChat that was taken off the market on the weekend of 4th Oct 2004.
The only way to get iChat 2 (A/V) for Jaguar is for someone to give it to you.
I am not in a position to say where to go to get someone to do this. (Apple regards it as Against the User Aggreement).
Any source is not likely to be posted in the open about this.
Most Broswers are free for Macs but that is a different question.

    All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

    How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

    It's not possible. Serial numbers are platform specific. Even if you install the CS5 trail version, it won't activate with your PC serial. Your only option is to upgrade to Creative Cloud.

  • How can I edit/change/update/remove album artwork for a song in iCloud?

    Dear Community,
    my problem is the following.
    I'm editing my songs/albums artworks and when I change these artworks, iTunes Match syncs my artworks back to the original ones.
    I've tried a lot of things, read a lot of discussions but I didn't find a solution for this problem.
    For example:
    I've deleted for an album all of my songs artworks, then set the good one. Then I've done an update for iTunes Match in Store menu. My artworks didn't changed on an Apple TV2
    If I just delete the artworks, do an iTunes Match upgrade, the artworks on an iPhone 4S & Apple TV2 remains the same (I've also removed the songs from my iPhone and redownloaded them...)
    I used TuneUp iTunes plugin for song identifying. It did a very good job, changed my artworks, my metadata, everything looked good. After a few minutes iTunes Match synced, the artworks restored to the old ones, but the metadata info didn't changed, it is updated in iCloud too.
    I'm also tried to get artworks from iTunes, it worked very well for some albums, but again: iTunes Match synced...
    I've turned off iTunes Match, done the album editing. Again when I've turned on iTunes Match, the album artworks restored..
    In my opinion if I use a cloud service, anything I do locally in my iTunes library, it should sync up to the cloud. EVERYTHING means music, music metadata, music artwork etc.
    So what is the solution?
    What can be the reason all of this?
    Someone has the same issue?
    Is it a bug?
    One more thing
    In this album all of my songs has the same artwork (David Guetta: One Love)
    Look at the BRAVO hits cover

    Try this, it has worked for me.
    1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
    2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
    3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
    4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
    5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

  • I can't install the update 9.5.2 for Acrobat Pro for Mac.

    I am using Mac OS 10.7.4.  I currently have Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on my system.  I've been able to download the 9.5.2 upgrade successfully via the "'check for updates" link in the application and from also from the Adobe website.
    The installer cannot install the update.  The process begins but then I get a message that components have been disabled.  The message refers me to Acrobat website for help to reingage components. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any such help through their not so user friendly website.
    The alternative suggestion from the message was to uninstall the application, then reinstall it.  I tried using the uninstaller that was in my Acrobat Pro folder, but when I opened the uninstaller, I got a message saying the installer was not for this application.
    I have an installation disk to reinstall the program and I have no problem manually uninstalling the Acrobat Pro from the system, but I don't know what needs to be removed from where.
    Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? 
    I'm beginning to feel like this upgrade is just a gimmick to encourage people to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X.

    I was getting the same error: "Insufficient data for image" and the document wouldn't open. But Foxit and Chrome read the files directly, with no problems.
    On a Mac, the 9.5.2 upgrade works fine under Acrobat Pro 9!!
    Do any of you run Kaspersky antivirus? When I ran the root kit scanner - is doesn't like some of the Adobe System files and will quarantine them – this only happened in July: This is when it quarantined some files that were authored by Adobe. This is when the updates to Adobe seemed to have stopped working properly?
    I submitted the “quarantined” files to Kaspersky and they came back and said that the Adobe files allowed “trojan” like backdoor access to my PC  - To get adobe working again I allowed them back into my system and took them out of Quarantine. The 9.5.2 update worked fine after this.
    I thought it was a fault with Kaspersky 2011 until I updated to 2013 (last week) and the Root Kit scanner completely removed the registration for Adobe Acro 9....No opportunity to deactivate...program wouldn’t run with error messages about the registration of Acrobat Pro 9. I reinstalled the programme; it will run but cannot be upgraded from the DVD rom version
    Now I’m struggling to get my Adobe product serial number reactivated. The Indian call centre tell me the retail serial number is invalid and not an Adobe serial at all, then I get told about 30 mins later in the same call the serial number is actually registered to someone else - they're just oxygen thieves...
    The botom line was, that unless you bought from Adobe online, and they can track your purchase, you're on your own for support...
    Ironically, when I first installed Acrobat 9 Pro back in 2010, the software installed fine, activated and I got a nice Welcome email message from Adobe, free downloads too - not much use though - perhaps this is one of those keep the product sales up schemes...you've had your two years time to buy an upgrade!.
    I think these issues are linked up with the extreme piracy control that Adobe have implemented in their products - it's gone too far...

  • I can't download an update.  It asks for a CD.

    I keep getting a notification for an update for QuickTime but each time I try to download it and no matter how I try to download it a screen pops up asking me to insert an installation CD.  When I click cancel it tells me that it can't remove the old version and to contact someone.  So that's what I'm trying to do!  Since I've never been asked to to insert an installation CD before when installing a QuickTime update, can someone let me know why all of a sudden it's asking me this and what I can do about it since I don't have an installation CD?
    Thanks!

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Since logic express is discontinued, can i get the updates from logic pro for free?

    logic pro was recently priced at 199, effectively replacing logic express. it seems as though apple should allow logic express users to get the additional functionality of logic pro withought buying the entire product again.

    @Blueberry - lol I wonder if you'll sing the same tune if they discontinue logic pro and then force you to buy "logic studio" for $500 (current price 2012). See this guy's comment on the product page of the online store:
    "I have been producing music on logic since before Apple acquired it from the previous developer.
    I purchased Logic Pro 7 from Apple for $1000, and i have since spent another $500+ in "upgrades" to get to the current format of logic Pro 9. Shortly after my reluctant upgrade from 8 to 9, Apple released a promotional price of $300 for the entire program. That is just a little more than I paid to upgrade. Still no discount for upgrades though. In short loyal long time customers have now paid over $1,500.00 to get a $300 program. A slight kick in the pants for its Pro oriented customers. As a pro user you can add 7 computers, 4 iphones, 3 ipads and some ipods to that shopping cart as well.
    In that time I have watched Apple drop Key production features out of Logic in order to make room for programming codes that dumb down the DAW interface and create undesired glitches within the frame of what was an excellent platform from Emagic.
    Now that Mac has solidified its abandonment of the professional grade market by dropping the mac pro and pretty much all R&D for Logic as well, I find myself more and more disappointed with logics performance. Another product that has let go of functionality for aesthetics.
    I have, in fact, spent well over 40 hours reverting and reformatting my system back to Snow Leopard (very difficult as Mac firmware no longer supports reverse compatibility) but also reverting logic to a version of LP9 that is stable within that operating system. I had to do this as there is no version of LP9 that works properly in any operating system after SL.
    OS 10.6.8 + Logic 9.1.6/7 is the most stable combo that will run on intel based Mac. Trust me.. I tried the rest. I would prefer to go back to logic pro 7 but once again No reverse compatibility.
    Hopefully the 2software developers... Yes two... still working on logic will at least make it stable again so we can finish our mixes and move to another software manufacturer.
    Sorry Mac but after years of total loyalty you left me and the Professional market out in the cold."
    So - I already paid about $200 for logic express and now I have to pay $200 more for something I never wanted?

  • Why can't I connect to my shared computers for file sharing;I have 3 Macs and I can connect the other 2 but not my new Macbook air.

    I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

  • ISight updater

    Ok, I have the latest Mac OS and I keep it up to date with the software updater and I'm quite annoyed with the Apple people because there hasnt been an update for the iSight cam that will work with the latest Mac OS, or any version past 10.3.9 for that matter and this really ticks me off because Apple should definitely support their products especially for people who have no better option since a cam isnt built in. Does anyone have a clue as to how or when this situation will be resolved because I have an iSight cam that is pretty much toast right now since it seems to need an update. And if the Apple people aren't going to put an update out there is there another one out there that will work in its place?

    Hi rplaut6456,
    The Forums are User to User help.
    Apple Supply the Web space and therefore the Moderators (Hosts).
    In the past there used to be more Hosts whose only job at Apple was to monitor, garner info (about common issues) and moderate the Discussions.
    It can not be guaranteed that any one from Apple will actually read your Post.
    Some applications even when they are running do not always keep the Mac Awake.
    I have not heard of this problem before but think it unlikely it is the iSight firmware (unless yours has not been updated to match the version of SightSpeed you have).
    As this thread has been about getting an External iSight updated, possibly with the help of someone who still runs Panther - Do you have any friends that fill that criteria ?

  • ISight Updater 1.0.3

    I'm running OSX 10.4.3 on a dual 2 G5.
    When I try to run the iSight updater for 1.0.3 it won't update... saying can't do it on this computer. I currently have 1.0.2.
    My nephew, who has a G5 running 10.4.3. currently DOES have 1.0.3 as his iSight driver, which he downloaded as the update.
    What's up?
    Also.. I notice that his incoming video has a soft look, while others look much crisper. Could this be a bad camera? He has a fast connection, as do I.
    Thanks!

     Hello Rick. If your iSight works well on your Mac and your iChat AV does not tell you that you need to update, I would not be concerned about adding this software. When using the Tiger OS, either your Mac's Software Update... or iChat AV will tell you if you need to update.I currently have 1.0.2.Do you know this from your System Profiler information, or are you basing your statement only on the fact that you have a folder named "iSight Updater 1.0.2" in Finder > Go > Utilities?... the iSight updater ... can't do it on this computer. My nephew ... DOES have 1.0.3...What's up?
    My guess is that your nephew installed the 1.0.3 update while he was still using Panther. As explained in iSight Updater (1.0.3), Panther is required for the update, but a later upgrade to the Tiger OS would have left the 1.0.3 Update in place.
    All necessary software is installed with your Tiger install or came pre-installed if your Mac shipped with Tiger.I notice that his incoming video has a soft look, while others look much crisper. Could this be a bad camera?There are many possible causes of a soft image in iChat AV 3. The most common are lack of adequate bandwidth and processor power.
    Because iChat AV 3 dynamically allocates bandwidth between the parties involved in a given chat, both of you should Check your Broadband Speed.
    Because of this dynamic allocation, I suggest that both users who are parties to any problem connection test with more than one other user in order to determine which system is really causing the problem.
    Suggestions for maximizing your Mac's performance with iChat AV 3 are shown in Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
    The suggestions in Improving Your iSight's Picture may also help all users.
    If your nephew is concerned that he has a bad camera, he can check his iSight using the suggestions in Common PC Chat Applications and iChat.

  • Isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!

    Hi
    I'm trying to download the updater and i got this error message
    This update does not work with Mac OS X 10.4 or later
    is there anything i can do? ive just worked out that after 6 ipods not working over 3 yrs...technical support have just told me to unplug isight from my imac and the ipod worked! crazy, but to use it while ipod is connected i need to update the software if anyone can pls help?
    thankyou
    sophie

    Hello Sophie,
    Which update are you trying to download? Can you paste a link to it?
    I am confused because your title says "isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!", but your system info shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.3.8).
    If you have Mac OS X 10.4.x, all needed iSight updaters are installed.
    If you are trying to use iSight simultaneously with a Firewire-connected iPod, the iPod may be inducing a conflict. See the Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ for more info.
    I do not use iPod. You will get better help with your iPod questions at your other post of this same question: my 6th ipod finally works....guess how?!!!
