HT5717 Why is this update so essential?

Why is this update so essential?

Quoting from Apple's security documentation for this release:
Multiple vulnerabilities existed in Java 1.6.0_45, the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox. Visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. These issues were addressed by updating to Java version 1.6.0_51. Further information is available via the Java website at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/releasenotes-136954.html
If you turn off Java in all your browsers and make absolutely sure you don't download and run any standalone Java apps, then the update probably isn't essential, but otherwise it is, since at least some exploits do exist in the wild; they're not just theoretical.

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that?

Connecting to the update has been connecting for more than 6 hourand is still trying to connect when will it finish downloading the suggested update?s, why? This update has slowed me down way too much.

A window opened when I started that said " We strongly suggest that you update......" I did not want to but each time I turned my computer on the same window pops up with the "strongly suggest" and my computer began to run slower and stop lot. So I finally pressed the bar for more information..But never got any. My computer continued to keep "stop script" and run slow. So after several days of this I clicked on "Next" to download the update and it has been" Connecting to the update server" for over 6 hours now and still running little green boxes in a frame over and over and over. Why is this happening?

Join the club Robert.
My huge annoyance is how Preview converts ai, .eps and .ps files to .pdf files.
It has progressively deteriorated from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard.
In Leopard it defaulted to saving the .pdfs to the Documents folder not the place of origin and would regularly crash if more than a few (sometimes just 2) files were opened simultaneously.
In Snow Leopard nothing was fixed and now the names are stripped off the converted files so that they are all called Untitled.
Apple must have received hundreds of bug reports (I diligently sent one every time Preview crashed) and several feedbacks detailing the problem, to the point I believe persecuting Designers and ruining their work has become a NEXT programmers secret objective.
Except for a couple of minor bug fixes to do with drag & drop in Preview, I am puzzled where the so-called improvements in Snow Leopard really benefit user.

Hi, I have just downloaded lion and my Photoshop CS is not supported.....why why why. This update will cost me $500 ! Totally useless update

I have just downloaded LION as an update and it is OK, not great but OK. However I am furious because it does not support Photoshop CS for Mac! Great so this update is now going to cost me 500 dollars for a new Photoshop. Well done Apple why is this not supported and why should I buy more software. THIS IS BAD BAD BAD!. Don't update to Lion until you check your other software will run! Does anyone know how to revert back to Snow Leopard or get your money back from Apple.

First off, learn how you must be prepared for Lion before installing:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
Next consider one of three courses:
1. If most of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup of your older system, get an external hard drive larger than your current,
partition it for enough space for Snow Leopard and your present Lion installation on your hard drive allowing for at least 15% of each partition to have free space after cloning Lion and installing Snow Leopard and your Snow Leopard only compatible applications.
2. If very little of your software is supported, and you don't presently have a backup, get an external hard drive, Install Snow Leoaprd on it, and recover your data on it after using the Migration Assistant to import the data from the Lion on the internal that is compatible with Snow Leopard, and the install applications from your CDs. Once you have it working on your external hard drive, clone it back to your internal, and get a refund from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account
3. If you have a backup from before installing Snow Leopard, just erase and install Snow Leopard, and contact the App Store support for a refund.

Good luck!

HT5766 why is this update taking so long to load?

I am running software update for iTunes 11.0.3 but it's taking forever to complete the last step "writing files"
Anyone know why? should I stop it and start again?

This may have something to do with your Internet connection, the size of the video you are watching or the amount of items running in your Mac at the same time.

HT5275 Why did this update eliminate Safari's RSS reader function? Grrrrr.

So, I have a number of RSS sources in a folder titled "News" in my bookmarks bar. I select it and am able to either go to individual RSS source or "View All RSS Sources" (which I use all the time) or open all in tabs (this one's not a good idea!). After updating, the "View All RSS Sources" is gone as Safari no longer has an RSS reader function. Too bad (and I really mean that!) and seemingly unaccounted for if I call APple for assistance... just "No Safari RSS reader in the update. Oh, and there's no way to go back!"
I use "View All RSS Sources" twice daily (at least) because it is adjustable... my list is sorted by Unread, and it highlights those. Very convenient! An excellent function... no in the dumpster! Grrrrrrrr!
Anyway, now I cannot do this function on my MBP w/Mtn Lion (update to Safari included in the update to Lion) or on my Mac Pro w/Lion (I updated Safari automatically, then found the "improvement"). So now my mini is not going to be updated until I am able to find an outside app that'll give me this function back. And no more buying upgraded minis, either. Grrrr.
Anyway, anybody know why the function was removed in the update?
ADDED POST POSTING: it appears I've lost spellcheck while using an outdated version of Safari

Hi,
Another thing you can try is this:
- Quit Safari
- Open up a Terminal window (via Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app)
- Type <pre>dscacheutil -flushcache</pre> and then press the Return key
- Restart Safari
What that does is flush the local DNS cache on your machine. DNS is how computers convert human-readable names (i.e. www.apple.com) into IP addresses (17.112.152.32) that computer networks use to resolve machine locations.
No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a shot.

HT201070 Why does this update corrupt Nikon NEF files?

Per earlier discussions, I reinstalled 4.07 and rebuilt everything. It appears that both Nikon D90 and D7000 Nef's are affected yielding a magenta screen when the thumbnail is clicked and opens in any window.
Will the next RAW update remedy this problem?
I am using a new iMac and it came with Mountain Lion and all updates have always been installed.
Please advise.

What for Apple to issue a fix for this. Until then keep using Raw Camera bundle 4.07

HT4623 Why Did this update result in changes to the apple id on my phone?

Why did the recent update cause so many problems on my new iphone?

The update would not result in changes to your Apple ID.
As for your other question it is impossible to answer since you haven't mentioned any specific problems.
I (and millions of others) updated to iOS 6.1.3 with no problems whatsoever.
What problems do you have? It is possible that some corruption occurred when you were updating your iPhone.

Why does this Update not work?

HT1349 I can not run the scanner in my main user, but only the second user and the same thing with updating apps! Why is this happening???

When I want to update my app a different account comes up now. Wierd. It's the family plan owners id...why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Upon wanting to update some of my apps, I now get prompted to login with the owner of the family plans login.
I have my own account attached to this phone. Why is this now happening and how do I return it to update my apps with my login ID?

Did you by chance accidentally purchase these app with the different account?
Because all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can also check settings - appstore - apple id - if it isn't your id, log out and log in with your id.

My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Hey there Raymondd2014,
It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.
