Creator Updates - any more cost / time effective alternative?

Is there a way to download the Creator updates on to a disk at (say) an internet cafe for later update of my copy - I have a very slow internet connection line , and usually terminate the update, halfway to the end ,because it takes forever. Beside it seems to update ant, jaxp, java api etc - all of which I have the latest version.

Hi
The update modules(.nbm files) are not public yet. I am not sure if this is the right solution but you need to have the creator installed on the machine to download the modules first.
Try this if possible..
- Install creator on the machine where you feel that you have high speed internet (On same OS as yours and with your own key)
- Connect to update centre and download the all the modules.
- In "View certificates and Install Modules" dialog there is a button Save Copy to save the modules. Click on that to save a copy of modules to a directory. ( all the files saved in this dierctory are having .nbm extension)
- Now copy these files to your machine where you have creator installed. Copy all the .nbm files to <Creator Root>/bin directory
- Start the IDE and it will update the ide with the downloaded modules.
I am not sure how usefule is this but there is no other way now.
Thanks
Srinivas

After Win 8.1 update - Lenovo System Update defective (doesn't find updates any more)

Lenovo System Update tells me that all is up to date!
I searched at Lenovo for new drivers for windows 8.1
They asked me exactly what notebook I use. For the x1 carbone 3460-4LG (checked 3 times because I couldn't believe it) they discribed my computer as:
i7-3667U(3.2GHz), 4GB RAM, 256GB Solid State Drive, 14in 1600x900 LCD, Intel HD Graphics, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 4c Li-Ion, Win8 Pro 64.
My notebook has 8GB RAM, 180GB SSD and (as I believe) no carbone x1 has 1GB Ethernet, because it has no network connector at all!
So first question: can I believe the suggestions of lenovo for new drivers?
There are several drivers released in October 2013 that I surely do not have already installed.
That means, Lenovo System Update doesn't work any more, without error message!
Question two: Has Lenovo a solution to repair their defective updater? Or will they release a solution?
Very disappointed regards.
Alex

Another Workaroung wich could help is the Tool DriverEasy. It does scan yours system and shows you all missing Driver. The missing driver can be downloaded or directly installed.
For me it found every missing Driver on different Lenovo Modells. The only thing to use it as Full Service, is you have to buy it for i think about 30 $.

Graphs in Server Admin isn't updating any more.

Hi all,
The graphs in Server Admin doesn't show correctly. For any given time range, it's always 31% for CPU utilization and 28KB/s for network. However it's definitely not the case when comparing to Activity Monitor.
The graphs for web showing correctly for both throughput and requests.
Not sure if anyone had this problem before. I googled around and found no similar issues.
It's not a big deal but very annoying as I can't see server performance history any more.
Please help.

According to the manual page on the OS X Developer Library, fsck_cs has a bug:
fsck_cs does not perform an exhaustive validation, nor is it able to fix many of the inconsistencies that it does detect.
Somehow my MacBook Air didn't complete some I/O transactions to the SSD and therefore the physical volume of the core storage has "failed". Fixing inconsistencies didn't worked because of the bug mentioned above. Repartitioning disk0s2 and reinstalling the OS solved the problem.
@Link Davis: The SSD has not failed, if so the SMART status would have shown that. That's the most shared oppinion on many Apple related forums. I think you mean the disk, not the drive.
I'll not encrypt the SSD of the MacBook Air with the FileVault 2 until the bug is going to be fixed!

Any thoughts as to why iWeb software is not updated any more

hello all,
I'm wondering why apple is not updating iWeb software any more. Does anyone think they will continue to support it? Doesn't make sense to me that they have abandoned it. With as much as we all use the web, you would think that Apple would want to have the best software out there for us to use with our iMacs,iPhones, and iPads. I can imagine iWeb software out there that would take our web sites built with state of the art web software that would format the sites we build to work and look the best on all the devices apple makes. Seems to me they are making a big mistake. what are your thoughts about why the have pretty much abandoned iWeb. I don't have a clue. Also seems like they are throwing a lot of people under the buss.
thanks for your opinions
donald

It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple since new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party optionsl There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and myself have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

I have an airport express and it seems that I am not able to receive any updates any more

Greeting from Belgium!
I own an Airport Express and since august 2012 I am not able to receive and download any updates for it.
The light on the AX is also flickering orange and that is a sign of a weak or bad connection according to the manual.
I have tried a soft reset but still no improvement !
When I am trying to work with the Airport Configuration Utility it does not recogneize any AX base station .
Can anybody tell me if encountered the same issue and explain to me how to resolve it ?
Thank you very much

First try a "hard reset".
If that does not enable you to use AirPort Utility to configure the Express, then try a "factory defaults reset":
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
A "factory defaults reset" is similar to the above. The only difference is that it will erase any saved configurations. To do that:
First, unplug the base station from power. Press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed while connecting it to power. Then, release the reset button.

HT5622 I changed my apple ID password and account number after I can't update any things , why ?

Hi , I was change my ID password and bank account then I can't update any more WHY? , help me please

Very simple, content bought from iTunes and App Stores is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

Quick time player doesnt start any more since kernel shock and update, the symbol looks different, reinstallation doesn´t work

hi there.
I am using a Macbook Pro with snow leopard and this is my problem:
I was having a Kernel Shock 2 weeks ago. After that, my Finder-Dashboard hasn´t work any more. I´ve did the latest update. Now Dashboard Works but Quick Time Player doesns´t do.
I Can´t find NOWHERE in the internet an installation file for Quick time player to reinstall. And I can´t find my Installation DVD.
quicktime has changed his symbol to an white picture with pensil and brush.
I have made a second Account and activeted the guest accounts and tryed there, but Quick time player isn´t here working to.
its really sad that this program doesn´t run any more.
It blinks 2 times in the dock and shut down immediately.
Can someone please help me? is my only opinion finding the Disc?

I've tested that on an iPad 1 and it seems problem is performance related. On this device a simple click to a google search result link doesn't work properly. You hit the target multiple times and sporadically it opens. You still see the focus on the object and it's activation but no event triggering happens.
All others functions are working well, only Webapps and Webpages suffer from this issue.
The owner of the device has not recognized that issue and believed it is a "feature" not a bug as he do not has much experience with Apple devices. But this confirms it is on every device and not my own personal one or dedicated to our office. The only workaround is to use other devices or touching links with different speed/pressure. It works better if you hit the objects very quick lifting the finger immediately.

I have deleted my old Apple ID to create a new one. I created the new ID but every time I try to update my Apps, it asks for the details of my Old Apple ID that doesn't work any more. How do I update my Apps now?

It is really frustratating me, as ALL my Apps are really out of date. Please help.

You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
http://iforgot.apple.com
or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

Disk Utility: for bad blocks on hard disks, are seven overwrites any more effective than a single pass of zeros?

In this topic I'm not interested in security or data remanence (for such things we can turn to e.g. Wilders Security Forums).
I'm interested solely in best practice approaches to dealing with bad blocks on hard disks.
I read potentially conflicting information. Examples:
… 7-way write (not just zero all, it does NOT do a reliable safe job mapping out bad blocks) …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/8191915#8191915 (2008-09-29)
… In theory zero all might find weak or bad blocks but there are better tools …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/11199777#11199777 (2010-03-09)
… substitution will happen on the first re-write with Zeroes. More passes just takes longer.
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/12414270#12414270 (2010-10-12)
For bad block purposes alone I can't imagine seven overwrites being any more effective than a single pass of zeros.
Please, can anyone elaborate?
Anecdotally, I did find that a Disk Utility single pass of zeros seemed to make good (good enough for a particular purpose) a disk that was previously unreliable (a disk drive that had been dropped).

@MrHoffman
As well pointed your answers are, you are not answering the original question, and regarding consumer device hard drives your answers are missleading.
Consumer device hard drives ONLY remap a bad sector on write. That means regardless how many spare capacity the drive has, it will NEVER remap the sector. That means you ALWAYS have a bad file containing a bad sector.
In other words YOU would throw away an otherwise fully functional drive. That might be reasonable in a big enterprise where it is cheaper to replace the drive and let the RAID system take care of it.
However on an iMac or MacBook (Pro) an ordinary user can not replace the drive himself, so on top of the drive costs he has to pay the repair bill (for a drive that likely STILL is in perfect shape, except for the one 'not yet' remaped bad block)
You simply miss the point that the drive can have still one million good reserve blocks, but will never remap the affected block in a particular email or particular song or particular calendar. So as soon as the file affected is READ the machine hangs, all other processes more or less hang at the same moment they try to perform I/O because the process trying to read the bad block is blocking in the kernal. This happens regardless how many free reserve blocks you have, as the bad block never gets reallocated, unless it is written to it. And your email program wont rewrite an email that is 4 years old for you ... because it is not programmed to realize a certain file needs to be rewritten to get rid of a bad block.
@Graham Perrin
You are similar stubborn in not realizing that your original question is awnsered.
A bad block gets remapped on write.
So obviously it happens at the first write.
How do you come to the strange idea that writing several times makes a difference? How do you come to the strange idea that the bytes you write make a difference? Suppose block 1234 is bad. And the blocks 100,000,000 to 100,000,999 are reserve blocks. When you write '********' to block 1234 the hard drive (firmware) will remap it to e.g. 100,000,101. All subsequent writes will go to the same NEW block. So why do you ask if doing it several times will 'improve' this? After all the awnsers here you should have realized: your question makes no sense as soon as you have understood how remapping works (is supposed to work). And no: it does not matter if you write a sequence od zeros, of '0's or of '1's or of 1s or of your social security number or just 'help me I'm hold prisoner in a software forum'.
I would try to find a software that finds which file is affected, then try to read the bad block until you in fact have read it (that works surprisngly often but may take any time from a few mins to hours) ... in other words you need a software that tries to read the file and copies it completely, so even the bad block is read (hopefully) successful. Then write the whole data to a new file and delete the old one (deleting will free the bad block and ar some later time something will be written there and cause a remap).
Writing zeros into the bad block basically only helps if you don't care that the affected file is corrupted afterwards. E.g. in case of a movie the player might crash after trying to display the affected area. E.g. if you know the affected file is a text file, it would make more sense to write a bunch of '-' signs, as they are readable while zero bytes are not (a text file is not supposed to contain zero bytes)
Hope that helped ;)

Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
Good Luck

Can't update apps bought from different stores efficiently any more, why?

After the latest update of iTune 11, I found I can not any more update iOS Apps efficiently in iTunes. I have three different iTunes Store accounts for different country stores and they are all active.
Before this iTunes update, I had been able to update apps by store - which means when I am in a certain App Store, iTunes shows all apps need-to-update in that store only. I could press 'Update All" and sign-off so as to switch to another App Store while the updating running by itselfs and do the same in another store. This has been quite an effective way when there are more than 10 apps to update.
The new iTunes has a category "Update", which is good. However, it doesn't further categorize the apps by Store. The problem now is that I had 300+ updates waiting there and they belong to 3 stores. When I start updating with Store A, I can't sign-off (so no way to switch) until the apps update in Store A completes. Then it comes another big problem - when app No 22 to 26 were bought through Store B, 27 to 30 from Store A, 30-31 from Store C, etc, the udpate will stop when app 22 is detected and iTunes pops up a dialogue saying something like "this app was from another store, you have to switch to that store". If I don't switch, the udpate will not continue; if I do, it will stop the updating of app 20 and 21 (if haven't finished by then).
Once I switch, the same thing will repeat when app 27 is detected, then app 30, then app 32, then... then it is a total catastrophy.
On iOS devices, I don't have to switch to update apps from multiple stores, except when some apps were for certain store only, such as China Sore. Even the latter, I don't have to switch "BACK and FORTH".
Why can't iTunes on Mac do the same? At least, iTunes should continue to allow app update by Store and allow updating continues when the accounts is signed off.
Has anyone had the same problem? Is this a bug or not?

Just updated to iTunes 11 two days ago and am also seeing
the same behavior. The only way to find out if there is an update
to an app in iTunes is to enable the side bar, click on Apps. Then in
the lower right corner, click check for updates. If you are already logged
into the iTunes Store, I believe it will show the updates automatically.
But yes, it should show that an update is available in the store, as it used to.

System preferences shot after Security Update 2006-008 - no sound any more

All sorts of strange problems after running the 2006-008 security update, yet only affecting one my two MacMini:
System Preferences completely "shot", with the Date&Time item/icon looking very odd.
The little flag for language/keyboard setting and date/time did not show any more in the top menu bar -- basically everything left side of the blue Spotlight magnifying glass icon was gone.
Also Safari much more prone to quit.
Managed to delete some prefs and cached stuff and to replace the System Preferences application with the one from the other (working ok) Mac.
(I wish such components were available on the web!)
However: Currently I get no sound whatsoever. When I check the option to have the little speaker symbol displayed in the menu bar it shows. But as soon as I click it once, it vanishes from the menu bar.
In the Sound window, I have Volume set to full, yet everything is greyed out, "Sound off" is checked without my doing, while "Display sound volume in the menu bar" unchecks itself everytime(!)
And, very odd: While resetting PRAM and the fsck-routine working ok (no problems found) and disk utility claiming to have repaired all permissions, I can not run a reset of Open Firmware/nvram with the O-F-Apple-Alt key combination (I'm using an original Apple USB Keyboard for this, since I'm aware that my 3rd party keyboards from Logitech and Microsoft often refuse to perform such kind of "low level" tasks).
