Download and Install No Longer Saves .pkg

Has anyone else noticed that although the Download and Install option remains in Software Update, it no longer works as it did in Tiger? In Tiger, when you made this selection the software downloaded, installed, optimized, then brought up a window to the /Library/Packages folder showing the location of the software just downloaded and installed. In Leopard, this folder no longer exists, and making this selection behaves just as if you just told it to install the software.
If you search your hard drive for the name of the .pkg, it doesn't exist (suggesting that it was downloaded to a temporary location, installed, and deleted).
I frequently use this option to save a copy of the .pkg locally so I don't have to download it again if I need it later.
I've just created an empty folder in my /Library folder to see if the next time I try this, it will save it to this folder, as it used to.

Yes, I noticed this odd behavior as well. Can find no trace of the packages of the two updates I ran the other day (the Login & Keychain one, and an ProAppsUpdaters). The Receipts folder is also structured differently than it was. I did find the bom for the Login update, but not for ProApps. And what's in Receipts is JUST the bom, rather than a pkg containing a bunch of stuff, as used to be the case. One guy said that you have to deliberately go to Apple downloads and explicitly download whatever it is, so it is a two step process now, rather doing it all in one fell swoop.

  • Cannot see some of my downloaded and installed pro...

    Hello!
    I don't understand this - when I look in my Ovi Store and search my "Own Files", then I can find e.g. the Youtube app. I installed it today via Ovi Store.
    When I look in my main menu under Programs, I cannot find it.
    Also, if I search my memory card with the file manager.
    I have the same behaviour with "Townsmen 6" - I downloaded and installed it long ago, and then my phone became a deep reset and software update at the Nokia Care Point - but the software was installed on the memory card, which of course was removed before deep reset.
    I can find all this programs in the Program Manager, but not in the menu under Programs or any other folder and also not in the File Manager.
    What's up with this phone? I didn't hack around with my phone - every app until now was installed via Ovi Store and removed via onboard tools from the phone.
    Best wishes,

    "Two beer or not two beer?"

    I can tell you another funny story:
    I deinstalled all applications, which could be seen in the program manager, but not in the menu - this was Townsmen 6 and the Youtube app.
    I reinstalled the Youtube app with Ovi Store - still it cannot be seen in the menu, and also not in the file manager.
    BUT IT CAN BE STARTED IN THE OVI STORE! And it works completely!
    What's this? A total inconsistency! I will try to search the phone, when connected to the PC.
    What else can I do??
    Best regards,

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
    To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
    Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

  • After I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free app upgrades for the apps I have on my iPad/iPhone/iMac which i had previously purchased. Itunes tells me I "don't own the major versions".

    After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
    The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Bruce

    Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

    I dont recall when I have been more frustrated....  the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless.  After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works.  On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required.  When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not.  I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated....  Rich@

    When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize.  Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem"  I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available.  I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC...  I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again....  so frustrating...

  • The Safari on my iMac is no longer supported, how can I download   and install a new version?

    The Safari browser on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 is no longer supported. How can I download and install a supported Safari browser?

    If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to either upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

  • Can I still save all my apps, etc in my iphone if I am changing my computer thus downloading and installing new itunes?

    Can I still save all my apps, etc in my iphone if I am changing my computer thus downloading and installing new itunes?

    While this might not be the best method, I have found it best served what I needed when transferring my iphone 4 contacts to my new iphone 5s:
    http://goo.gl/AYrQNN
    First, I don't have a Gmail account, and even if I had, I would not wish to mix my email addresses with my iphone address book by syncing Gmail with my iphone address book. As a result, I used the above method in order to manually export my iphone contacts to my computer and in turn import them to my new iphone.
