Can't update to 10.4.8 or other programs!

I need help! For some reason, my iMac G5 w/iSight won't update. When I click on Software Update under the Apple Menu, nothing comes up. I am currently running Tiger 10.4.7 and I know there's 10.4.8 and all the other updates to the iLife programs. I have to download them manually from Apple's website. But when I do try to Update programs such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc., it tells me that I cannot install the software on that specific volume because of an unknown reason. Does anyone know what I can do? I need your guys' help. Thanks.

Hi eswank,
first try to run some system maintenance: MacOS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance.
Pay special attention to the repair permissions part: Repair permissions before and after an update!
Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC).

What is going on? I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs. It just says "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list", but that doesn't work. What changed?

All of a sudden I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs (ie Photoshop, facebook etc.). It just gives me this message below. What the **** changed? This wasn't happening yesterday.

1 - close iPhoto.
2 - go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto Library package as shown below:
3 - locate a file named AlbumData.xml and move it to the Desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto.
5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.

Mail program can't handle my volume of mail, need other program

Hi,
have many diff accounts that i view individually
have many subfolders which I move mail to regularly
in box avg; total - 75, per account - 20
Mail still glitches and I can't actually see most e's once moved unless i do a spotlight serch
Seeking sugestions for other program out there that might be able to handle my volume

Hi Katskratch,
I agree with Allan that Mail should be able to handle this. Your problems could probably be fixed by re-creating the index, as he has pointed out.
If you want to switch to another mail client regardless, it seems to me that you’re asking in the wrong forum. Not sure what kind of advice do you expect to find here. If we preferred another mail client, we probably wouldn’t be reading this in the first place.
Until you find a mail client that better suits your needs, I suggest you to proceed as follows to fix the problems you appear to have in Mail.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Since update to 10.6.8 can't export images from powerpoint and also other programs

Ever since I updated my software to 10.6.8 I can't export images from Powerpoint or from a graphing software GraphPad Prism. It's really frustrating. I had no problems at all until this update. Is there any way to revert my version to the old OS 10.6?
I can't work when I can't put images into illustrator!
Thanks, AOH

I just contacted Final Draft and they helped me with it. If you have FD and are going to upgrade an OS, Deactivate Final Draft first then re-activate it once the new OS is installed.

I can't seem to print to PDF from other programs. I have Acrobat 9 (with latest update), Windows 8, and when I try to print to PDF it defaults to a *.prn file, and when I change the name to *.pdf the file that it produces doesn't open.

I can print to PDF using PDF995, but not the regular Adobe PDF that comes up in the list of printers.
I've tried repairing the Adobe installation, but that didn't help.

It might help to understand the process, though I am almost surprised that AA 9 worked for printing on Win 8 (thanks for that info). Normally the print process is to print to the Adobe PDF printer (without the print-to-file checked). The process does create a PRN file that is actually a PS file. AcroTray (running in the background) completes the process of taking the PS file and running Distiller in the background to create the PDF. If you have problems, you should be able to print to file (assuming the print driver works -- but you indicate it does) and then opening the PRN file in Distiller to create the PDF.

Which version do I have and why can't my autolevel photos be read by other programs?

As a newbi, although I've used PSE for a long time, I know almost nothing about it.
I can't even find out which version I have. Under HELP it only says Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Nearest I can find is a copyright of 1989-2001.
I am using Windows XP Home, but PSE thinks it Windows 2000. I just noticed that most plug-ins are Ver. 6.0
My main problem is I just recently used PSE to AUTO LEVEL some JPG's and did some brightness/contrast
enhancements on other JPG's. Those JPG's cannot be read on either of my DVD players (saved to a CD) or in other software.
They are still visible using PSE and MS preview. Even Nero Smartstart can't open them.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Bob
Thanks for the reply.
First I'm using a FujiFilm camera, FinePix S700. One of the programs that
can't read the enhanced photos by PSE is their own FinePix Viewer V5.3.07E.
I've tried creating another CD using the progarm NERO, which can read the
enhanced photos, but
those photo's won't open in my Panasonic DVD player either. Untouched photos
open just fine on the DVD player.
I've looked at HELP and all it says is Adobe Photoshop Elements. Another
person from the forum says I have PSE 1.
I'm about to call Adobe, but I dread that as my hearing isn't that good
anymore if you know what I mean. I thought about upgrading as I obviously
have a very old version, but didn't get very far using the Adobe website.
Hence the upcoming phone call.

TS4526 Cable, internet, Netflix, iTunes library. Can use Amazon Video for iTunes library? Other program? OR Must have AppleTV for iTunes library?

I have purchases from iTunes movies and TV. I can play Netflix and Amazon TV. I also have TIVO thru which i connect my TV. .Amazon indicates that it can download iTunes. Can I use Amazon to play my iTunes purchases OR must I have an AppleTV device?
Also have 3 yr old large screen VIZIO hd TV. If I have to have an ATV, can I connect it through an hdmi on side panel? Or do I have to use a rear hdmi connection? How do I then connect CABLE>TIVO>TV and ATV?
Too many hdmi cables, not snuff hardware knowledge!
Thanks!

Two things that are not clear
- I think it is not possible to have iTunes running at the same time on two Macs in the discribed setting.

Anyone with experience?
I think what you mean is that it's not possible for two Macs to access the same iTunes library (ie. the same collection of media files) at the same time. From my research, this seems to be the case, and that's not my issue.
In my particular situation -- one that i'm sure is shared by many others -- my partner and i have separate user accounts on the same Mac, +entirely sharing a single iTunes Library+ (ie. same media files, same playlists, etc., as if we were a single user) and as long as we remember to quit iTunes whenever we walk away from the Mac (allowing the other to log in and launch iTunes and access our common library), this is not a problem.
And that is when my particular problem arises: when we launch iTunes, we are often asked to choose a Library (a series of navigations that my partner isn't entirely comfortable with), and occasionally the Data folder on the TimeCapsule is unavailable.
As for the wireless connection to our library, this has not so far proven to be an issue. Depending on what other activities are going on at the time (ie. TimeMachine backups or background Internet activity, i presume), i have only rarely experienced brief interruptions in music streaming from the TimeCapsule (<1 second). In fact, last night, we watched a movie on the laptop, with the file streaming from the TimeCapsule, and it only hesitated a few times, and again for less than a second.

I can't update my application manager.

I have a one year commitment with Adobe and I can't update my application manager to download another program that I need. How can I solve this problem? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Which operating system are you on? Which program are you trying to download and is it listed in AAM? I ask because Premiere Pro and After Effects only run on 64-bit systems and Lightroom will not run on Windows XP.
If you are on a 64-bit system running Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6.8 or greater than here are the steps to re-install AAM.
Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool and remove the Creative Cloud Installer part of the Adobe Application Manager (AAM). I have posted the steps here with screen shots:
Mac OS X: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4726312#4726312#4726312#4726312
Windows: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4726414#4726414#4726414
Then download and install AAM again using this link http://www.adobe.com/applicationmanagerpatch/index.html.
You should then be able to download and install the program you need.
