Cant Update Programs and Applications

I have a Mac Book Pro purchased in 2007. I can no longer up date programs and applications such as itunes, skype and others.
Any advice??
I dont want to have to upgrade to Snow leopard because I dont have the time to wipe everything off my hard drive and start again.
Thanks

Hi HotRock, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
If you have 20GB or much more you're OK.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
I dont want to have to upgrade to Snow leopard because I dont have the time to wipe everything off my hard drive and start again.
While you really need to have a bootable backup or two, installing SL/10.6.x does what we used to call an Archive & install, nothing should be lost.
But we really need to fix things first.

I cant update my all application im just one apple id

I cant update my all application imj ust usng 1 apple id i can make download but i cant make update

Hello there, Jha2224.
It seems you are having issues downloading an application from the App Store. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s follow the steps for iTunes Store connectivity:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and restart your device. Once your device has restarted, sign back in to the iTunes Store and try to download the update.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:

Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

I've installed Lion over Snow Leopard and all my non Apple software is still here - you may want to check if your software will work with Lion and I would definately recommend having a bootable backup in case anything goes wrong

Hello
I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

LOCATING PROGRAMS AND APPLICATIONS ON YOUR MACBOOK PRO

Good Morning! Where do you go on your Mac to find programs and applications that are actually on your Mac? Also, if there are any malware apps or programs, will it show this, or can they "hide"?
Thank you!

Hello wjosten - Well....based on inexperience at this point with being a Mac user, and reading quickly through the Malware Guide, I didn't really see where you can find those "hidden" areas and check for malware....
Some history..I posted on the community forum regarding a popup I was randomly getting, called "MacKeeper". Don't have a clue why it has come up, but I have not downloaded anything (that I know of). I was fortunately given great advice...to go to safari-preferences-privacy, and "remove all website data", which I did and did see this "zeobit", and I guess it's attached to MacKeeper.
Anyway, the MacKeeper popup has come up a few times in the past day or two...and only when I am on my "spam" screen...emptying the folder....
Nothing seems to be running differently on the Mac...
Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
Sincerely

Programs and applications on iPhone6

Is there a limit on how many programs and applications the iPhone6 can have on it? A friend of mine was looking into getting an iPhone6 and was told by Verizon that the iPhone6 had a limit of five programs that could be added to it but could add any number of applications. Am a bit confused about this.

Ditto. I have 249 apps on my iPhone.

Content Distribution for updated Packages and Applications failing on DP's

Hi all,
Since installing SP1 for SCCM 2012 we have noted that our content distribution success rate has gone down considerably
We have a CAS, 5 Primaries and 78 DP's hanging off the various Primaries
The issue is with existing content by which it is failing on 90% of DP's when we update a package/application. Please note when we push out fresh, brand new content we get a 100% success rate
This is causing us a bit of a headache as we regularly update our OSD driver packages aswell as the security update packages
When we redistribute or update content we are presented with the below 'retying rename of' on random DP's with the content eventually erroring out
Each DP is the same, by which windows 2008 OS, Antivirus which is configured not to scan the D:\ volume and no mirroring enabled or alike configured
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on content push?
Regards
Richard

Did you upgrade your DPs from 2007? If so, I'm experiencing the same issue.
I've filed a bug on Connect, please feel free to say you can reproduce it. I'm not sure how much help that would be, but it probably can't hurt:

Resource Based Authorization sample program and application

Recently i have studied about the types of authorization and i also did some samples for role based authorization. Now i am looking for Resource based authorization, the sad thing is that i could not able to understand the concept.
So i am looking for the sample application and C# program.
I just want to know the concept of resource based authorization and also the sample application file and c# coding file.
Please provide me the sample.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Technet forums are dedicated by technologies. Since you are more looking for concept, you should check for blogs on the Internet (try google...).
Otherwise please refer to TechNet forums homepage and look for your technology (C# for instance).
Hope this helps.

Software Update Error and Application connectivity problems

Hi. Hoping someone can help me with issues I've been having since we added a wireless access point to our network at home two weeks ago. I'm sharing a network with two pcs, a pc laptop and a ps3. All of which are working fine either using the wireless access point or ethernet through our router.
I have a macbook which is picking up the wireless fine, apart from a few applications. The biggest problem is that software update isn't connecting. I get a message telling me there is a networking error: NSURLError Domain - 1100. I go through the network diagnostics and it tells me that my connection is working correctly.
Another (less worrying but annoying) problem is that some widgets (facebook, wikipedia, translater etc) are not picking up the connection either. Facebook iphoto exporter also doesn't work. There is no in-built firewall in the access point and I haven't changed any firewall settings on my system (which was working perfectly with the ethernet connection). All I changed was the DNS server address.
The only time I have used airport previously is in the library at my university, where I needed to use a proxy address. I'm wondering if this may be interfering with my connection settings now, but am unsure of how to change the setting around. I'm a new mac user and this is the first issue I've had issues. Any help/suggestions are thoroughly appreciated.
thanks.

I'd been having this problem for the past few weeks (causing Software Update to fail with NSURLError -100 and the iTunes radio service to fail) and just fixed it myself.
For me the issue had to do with proxy settings in the browser versus proxy settings in System Preferences. For example, if you run Tor/Vidalia with Firefox, the browser has its own proxy settings that get changed when you activate Tor. But if you use Safari or anything else to set up the proxy, it's the network settings under System Preferences that get affected.
To check this, go to (Apple menu)>System Preferences...>Network, then choose whichever network interface you're currently using. If the lock icon in the lower left-hand corner is locked, click on it and authenticate with your password. Now click Configure... and choose the Proxies tab.
On my machine, I have "Configure proxies:" set to "Manually" (I've never used the other option, "Using a PAC file", so if you have that set I'm not sure how to debug it). Now look through the items in the "Select a proxy server to configure" panel. If there is anything checked there, it should be for a specific reason. If something is checked and you don't know why, try unchecking it.
Finally, click on Apply Now (giving your password again if prompted), close the System Preferences dialog, and try Software Update again.
This solved my problems (I had been fiddling with a local proxy for OS X Mail and Thunderbird). Your mileage may vary. Give that a shot and report back if it helps (or if it doesn't).

How do I disable automatic update download and application?

I was on FF5 and went to Check for Updates ... then it automatically grabbed an update and asked me to restart. I didn't want the update... I just wanted to know if there was one available or not.
I killed firefox hoping to avoid the auto-installation of the new code... but, as you know, as soon as I started firefox, it updated to FF6... now my Java 6.0.26 and Acrobat CreatePDF are broken.
6.0.26 is the latest version of Java, so apparently there's no fix there and the Acrobat update requires a new purchase!
This is insane! How can I check for updates without committing to the installation of a new update until I am ready and have confirmed, in advance, that my plugins are compatible?
How can I step back to the last "known good" configuration?
Thank you,
Michael

Thanks for the suggestion. It makes sense. Unfortunately, my wife will be using the iMac while I'm gone, so she would have to forward what she thought was important. Seems odd to me that the Manual command doesn't seem to do anything.

I inadvertently hit a wrong ket and instantly almost every program and application on my computer was placed in acrobat and I can't open any of them or restore them

How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
May i know which Adobe applications you are referring to. Do you use windows or Mac?
Also if there are any left overs left for applications you might need to remove those manually. Before we need to install back.

I have just bought an imac and I am having problem with my camera. The image is kind of distorted and coloured lines everywhere. I have updated softwares and applications and restarted the computer but it didn't help. What to do?

what to do?

shauney,
From your description of the problem, it sounds like you have a hardware/camera defect. My recommendation is to return your imac to where-ever you bought it, and have them deal with, or replace your computer with one that functions as it is supposed to. You should not have to suffer with this situation on a new computer, although it does sometimes happen.
