Failed 10.1.2 update on Mac

Keep getting notification from Adobe that the 10.1.2 update is ready. When I attempt to update, I am informed that Adobe Reader is open and need to close it. Then go and force quit Adobe Reader. Update software does not recognize that Adobe Reader is closed and update won't complete.

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10: Installation Failed error message.

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac: Installation Failed error message. Update downloaded directly from Adobe website. Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished. Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it. according to the link you listed, that's correct. the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os. seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it! thanks again.

Mac OS X 10.6.8, receiving error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted." How to fix?

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.

You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software.

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Updates makes Mac Mini slow

Hello,
After I installed the Sept. 15th updates, and the new itunes 8 updates, my mini is slow to restart. it takes almost 5 mins to restart. 1st comes a grey screen, then a light blue screen, and just sits there before the login screen finally comes up, i can walk away and do some stuff and walk back to the mini, then it would be at the login screen. This is one reason why i went with a Mac, since I am sick of waiting for winblows to boot.
Also, the itunes 8 sometimes will not respond, i click on it in the dock, and it will not open , i check the activity monitor and it will let me force quit, but the application still has the little blue light under it on the dock. If i right click on it it says: application is not responsive", i can click force quit all day till i'm blue in the face, but only a restart will fix it. But then i have to go through the long restart process. Those are the only 2 issues i have, everything else works fine. I'm still new to the Mac world, so I am wondering how to get this fixed.

Neither of the issues you are describing here are common ones, so while they are frustrating, particularly having come from a Windows system in the hope of avoiding such problems, they can be resolved!
In themselves, it's very rare that updates cause these kind of issues, and having reviewed the comments made after the security and iTunes updates, I don't think either of these is responsible for the problems you have - at least not directly. What is more likely is that the updates have either not correctly installed, or that one or other has brought an existing problem to the surface.
The first thing I would do in terms of the slow bootup is to check that you have the internal drive selected in the Startup Disk preference pane. If it is not selected, what will typically happen is that the system will pause at startup, and search all available sources for a suitable boot volume, including interrogating any and all network connections, even though the internal drive is an obvious candidate. Eventually, when it can only find the internal drive, it selects it and boots. Open system preferences (the gear-cog icon in the dock or via the Apple menu) and select Startup Disk. Click the internal drive icon, and then restart.
If that doesn't help, the next thing I would do in this situation is a bit of common housekeeping. This isn't something Macs need very often, but when things go wrong it can be useful in order to remove some possible causes and also ensure the system is nice and clean! Download a copy of YASU from http://jimmitchelldesign.com/projects/yasu/ and set it to perform all tasks. Don't run any other application while YASU is running, and let the system reboot when it's done. There are several things this software does, including trimming log files which can become cumbersome, resetting cache files which can corrupt and cause behavior and stability problems, repair disk permissions which can cause applications, MacOS components or files to fail to open, and update prebinding, which ensures that applications and their library files are correctly linked.
The reboot after running YASU will be slower than usual and the system will run slowly for a short time as it rebuilds new cache files, but it should help. If it doesn't resolve the issues, it will at least then remove a number of possible causes, and help narrow the focus a little.
One other point - you do need to keep a little spare unused space on the hard drive for MacOS to work with. If you are running out of free space, the system will increasingly slow down.

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?
Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

Should I repair permissions before or after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2?

Hi,
Should I repair permissions before or after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2? or should I fix permissions before and after the update?

This is not a routine maintenance. Upgrades can be screwed up if the system that is upgraded is screwed up. I believe in a "better safe than sorry" approach. If you repair permissions and the hard drive prior to an upgrade then if there be a problem perhaps that problem will not propagate to the new upgraded system. If there are no problems doing the repairs is harmless.
When it comes to the topic of permissions repairs there are many opinions but not much fact. In other words there doesn't appear to be a formal analysis of whether repairing permissions is only useful when a permissions problem arises. But there is a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that a repair both before and after a major system upgrade can reduce the risk of problems.
This is my opinion on the matter. I do not generally disagree with Niel or MacJack, but as I said I prefer to be safe rather than sorry.
Here's my general approach:
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.

Ever since I updated my Mac to Maverick it has become exceedingly slow everywhere. Also annoying, when I go into Applications to open something, it now automatically opens 3 things I don't need. What can I do to fix this?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Update on Mac : InDesign not installed ?

Hello,
I purchased yesterday InDesign CS4 Middle-Eastern edition, for Macintosh. It installed fine, registered fine, works fine, but I am unable to update to version 6.0.2 (the latest version). Both the automatic update and the manual update fail.
The automatic update, through Adobe Updater, updates the minor components correctly, but gives the following error for the main component :
The manual update, through file AdobeInDesign6Patch-All.dmg downloaded from WinSoft's website, gives :
If someone has had this issue, please advise me how to complete the update. I already contacted official support, but I don't know when they will answer. Normally, I work on a PC, but I got myself a Mac a few days ago, and I'm finalizing a project, and this InDesign update addresses important hyphenation issues.
I installed InDesign CS4 in the /Applications folder (default folder) on my MacBook. I am using Snow Leopard. I don't understand why the updater does not detect my installation. Afterwards, I installed again, but the update still fails.

After two days of hardships, I figured it out. In the installation instructions of the upgrade, it is said than you must upgrade from version 6.0.0.421. I had read those instructions, but I didn't notice that, in fact, I have version 6.0.0.407. This was the problem. The update instructions give you a link to required 6.0.0.421 version, a link different from the one given when I purchased InDesign ME !
In summary, when you buy InDesign ME, you get a link to :
Adobe_InDesign_CS4ME.dmg
(version 6.0.0.407)
But, in the installation instructions of the update, you get a link to :
AdobeInDesign6-Middle-Eastern.dmg
(version 6.0.0.421)
Both files are over 1 GB, and you must uninstall one to install the other. So, what's the logic behind this ? I don't know and I don't care. I am just very happy that everything works and that I can move on with my project.

I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!

Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

Updated to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard problems

I update to Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and something is running big time.
system hiccups all the time! The color wheel spins all the time. Have done all HD repairs.

I think Hazem is off track, as the SL installer will do a file system check before installing. If there were hard drive problems, it wouldn't have let you install it. This is new in the SL installer, and a very nice feature.
Generally, if you reinstall the system and continue having problems, you've got one of two possible problems. First, you didn't do it right and reinstalled some incompatible software or imported some damaged settings. Second possibility, you have a hardware problem.
Only you can know if the first option is a real possibility. To rule out software, you have to erase the hard drive and start from scratch. Reinstall any applications from scratch, from the original installers, and only add the ones you absolutely can't do without at first, then add the others slowly. Don't import any settings from the previous system, don't import your entire home folder. Only copy your documents from a backup, and rebuild any settings from scratch.
Regarding hardware, it could be that your drive is failing in such a way that it might pass a file system check but have sporadic problems. Open Disk Utility and select the hard drive, which will have a name like "500 GB blah", not the volume, which is indented underneath the drive and has the name you see on the desktop. Once you have selected the drive, look at the bottom of the window and make sure SMART status is "Verified."
Next, try running [Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]. Also, even if AHT gives your RAM a pass, you should consider running [Rember|http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember> to test your RAM. This won't rule out everything, but may give you some answers.

I tried going in in single user mode and running fsck because I dont have the utility disk but the reponse i got was- Invalid sibling link (4, 2362) **Volume check failed and a many Incorrect block count for file_____I dont know what else to do please help me.

Ok thanks I will get the 10.4.6 tomorrow but do I definatley need one of the others they are 100$? Will reinstalling do the trick, maybe.
I did use my mac while it was updating, im zero at this and it did not warn me and I always use my mac while i downloading things. I also had my isight plugged in maybe that was not good as well.
Never even thought I had to repair the drive before updating. now i know and knowing is half the battle.
Do you mean I should back up now with a firewire drive or I should have done so before updating? I tried to access my hard drive through firewire with my sisters ibook but had no luck I followed the direction on the apple pages but I dont know why I couldnt get it.
What is an erase w/ zero-all 7-way write? Im sorry like I said im zero at this.
