HT1222 WHY IS MY IPOD TAKING 6 HOURS TO UPDATE? WON'T LET ME LOAD SONGS TILL I UPDATE TO LATEST VERSION, BUT I DON'T HAVE 8 HOURS TO WAIT FOR UPDATE

IPOD HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN A WHILE. EVERYTIME I HOOK TO COMPUTER, IT WANTS TO UPDATE BUT IT TAKES LIKE 6 HOURS. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG, BUT IT WON'T LET MY ADD ANY SONGS TO MY IPOD TILL I UPDATE. WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

If your iPod touch is already running iOS 5 then you should be able to upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 on the device with a Wi-Fi connection.

Aperture update installed... but I don't have Aperture...WTH?

The App Store downloaded and installed a half gig update to Aperture™ today...
But I don't have Aperture™.
So I guess I'm left to ponder...
Why would a non-existent app have an update?

Where did that 547mb update end up on my HD?

No.
Whoever sold you the laptop should have removed the software first, or gone through the proper process to transfer the license to you. Chances are that they used it to obtain an upgrade, in which case it would not even to eligible to be transferred.

I have Mountain Lion OS but I don't have the Messages app. Why do I still only have iChat?

HI,
If iChat was put inside a subsidiary folder of the Applications one then it will not get removed.
Apple App need to be loose in the Applications Folder or they will not update properly either.
I have heard of people creating a "Messaging App Folder" and keeping this inside the Applications folder with the consequences listed.

Are you running iOS 5 on the iPad? Go to Settings>General>About>Version. Does it show that you have iOS 5 on the iPad? If not, you have to update your iPad to iOS 5 - in order to have the Messages app on the device.

HT4623 i have iPhone4, i want to update my software but i don't have the software update on the setting general.

I have iPhone4 & i want to update my software but i don't have SOFTWARE UPDATE on my settings<general...can you help me? Please....

That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.
