HT4561 Update from OS X 10.6 - OS X 10.6.8 always fails. Any ideas?
I am using a MacBook Pro purchase 2010 which is still running the original OS X 10.6.
Now needing to update to OS X 10.6.8.
Downloaded 'Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo' but halts with 'The installation failed' message.
Any ideas?
Although repairing permissions is usually not necessary, sometimes it can fix issues such as you're experiencing. To do that, run Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility), select your boot volume in the list on the left, then click the Repair Disk Permissions button. Note - this can take a while, so you might want to disable (set to never) sleeping while it's being done.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?
I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together. -
i have updated to maverick but am getting constant safari page reloads, tab freezes, etc, any ideas, or any idea when apple aim to fix this please?
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -

You cannot use FaceTime on that iPhone. Use Skype or similar program, or
sell that iPhone and buy one in Turkey. -
Why won't my Intel iMac boot up, either from the internal hard drive or the DVD drive? It just displays a light grey screen, without any other icons, etc. The fact that it won't boot from the original system DVD is what baffles me the most. Any ideas? It uses the latest version of Mavericks. Thanks!
If the C key for Install Disc or R Command for OS X Recovery startup commands are not working, try holding the Option key for the Startup Manager.
see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
If that does not work and you using a wireless keyboard, it may have become unpaired and you need to dig up a USB keyboard to invoke the startup commands.
For more on gray screen, see > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup -
I've had it for a year now.
I have the most current OS. I snyc it to my itunes 2-3 times a week. It is only about 25% full. It stalls (I don't know if I would call it freezing) between trying to switch from app to app. I either have to let it sit there for a few minutes, or turn it all the way off and turn it back on.
And yes, I know to press the home button twice to get the bottom part activated. That's not working. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, or what with iphone 4's.
Anyone got any ideas?Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -

I'm trying to import RAW images into iPhoto from my Fugifilm X-T1 camera. I get a message saying the "file cannot be recognized". Any ideas ?
Not necessarily. Some "glitches" were experienced by a significant number of users but not all of us, like the WiFi problem. Those that experienced these issues did have a miserable time of it trying to get things right. Personally I had no issues. I did, however, boot into the Recovery volume after installing Yosemite and after each update to repair disk permissions and the disk. There were a lot of permissions repaired each time.
Remember millions have upgraded to Yosemite and the number of those having problems is probably a very, very small percentage of them. That doesn't negate the problems they're having but sometimes overshadows the large percentage of those not having problems.
If you plan on upgrading to Yosemite do not run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" applications on your Mac or have any anti virus software installed. Neither are necessary and are know to do more harm that good. -
With last update to aperture photos only show in photos and not in folders. Any idea?

Do you have a filter enabled? Anything other than Showing All in the search field?

There is no chance. If FaceTime is missing from the phone, it can not be installed.
