HT6030 My macbook keeps asking me to download the same updates

My Macbook updated to Maverick and all the other random updates started to follow. I have currently seemed to hit a setback. For the past three days iphoto and imovie have been trying to update but never seem to get close to finishing. Oddly I can install a new app or download a third party app without waiting for days. I deleted both updates in progress so they could restart the process but it is still slow. Also the update to gmail for maverick has installed twice already. A third installation is waiting to install according to the app store. Should there be three?

Lynne130,
to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

The solution is to delete /Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework and re-install the HP package once.

I just downloaded firefox onto my mac and it keeps asking me to add the same website.

So i just downloaded firefox onto my computer and followed all the interactions to get it working. Well apparently i can't open any webiste because it keeps asking me to add the same website over and over again. it will even be the same "secure website", ill add it and nothing will happen expect it will keep asking me to add it. Ive tried fixing preferences but i don't understand why it's not working my other internet source is working just fine.

What link, website? Firefox should not do that. Did you get FF from '''Mozilla.org?'''
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

I can not open my doc in pages it keeps asking me to download the lates version and when i go to apple store it is saying already installed, help please?

I can not open pages it keeps telling me to download the lates verison, does anyone know where that is?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Problems with App Store...Keeps on downloading the same update!

Hi all,
I have a problem with updates from the App Store.
For example, I updated iPhoto and that was successful. It was about 1.6GB.
I opened up iPhoto and all was good.
Now when I go to the App Store it keeps telling me that I have the same update still waiting for me despite I have already done the update.
This is also happening with a few other programs as well which can be seen below:
So, now I have the situation where iPhoto is again trying to download (and waste 1.6GB) the same update and as a consequence I cannot use iPhoto because it is paused and when I resume the download (which has already been done twice) I loose another 1.6GB of my download limit.
I have emailed Apple about this but all they could do is refer me to some links where you can hide purchases made via the App Store.
How can I fix the above issue please.
It is very annoying to always see the red circle with the number 5 in it where all those updates have already been done but App Store thinks I haven't done them.
Any help much appreciated,

I am trying to download and install Firefox 4. 0. 1. The download works, but what I am supposed to do to install it? If I shut down and re-boot I am prompted each time to download the same update. Thanks - PM

Firefox prompts me that I need to download and install an update. This I do, and it downloads, but I don't know how to install it. This might be happening automatically, but when I shut down and re-start, I get the same message about installing the same update. Unless I can resolve this, I will have to return to Internet Explorer... What can I do?

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop and close Firefox.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Has anyone any experience of the app store constantly downloading the same update?

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite, but I do not think this issue is related to the new OS. I was rather hoping the new OS would cure the problem but it has not. For sometime now my iMac would download the same app update twice, after the second time it seemed to be happy and would not download the app again. But the latest iTunes update always appears under updates and shows as being updated four times to the same version!
Very frustrating. The screenshot shops three updates already to 12.0.1 of iTunes and it is also telling me 12.0.1. needs updating! Anyone got any ideas about this please?

Same problem here. It is constanly downloading Aperture, iPhoto and iWork apps

Adobe updater keeps making me download the same updates.

There seems to be some bug on all my 4 licensed computers. Adobe updater tells me there are updates to all my CC apps. I download them- restart the computer. Then I launch updater and all the apps are there again to be updated. Is this a bug in the updater and can I be sure that I have the latest updates?
Help!

Keeps asking to open/save the same Adobe Reader X installer file everytime at startup

Tried to update Reader X after Plug-in checker found installed version out of date. Encountered "Download Configuration Failed" error after downloading and executing installer (turns out effing Adobe has known about this problem since mid July but has chosen to continue with providing this installer on their download site). Following Adobe Support instructions, uninstalled Reader and tried again but without success. Finally found another link on Adobe Support for another installer which worked.
However, now when I start up Firefox, a pop-up will appear saying that "You have chosen to open "install_reader10_en_air_mssd_aih.exe" ... would you like to save this file?" (the same bad installer file) even though I have saved it a few times already to try to get rid of the pop-up. This happens at EVERY start-up.

Try using a different web browser. I was having this same problem when I was using Firefox, but then tried it in Opera and it worked like it was supposed to. I guess Adobe was in too much of a rush to release another product that they neglected to make sure it worked...They would get an 'F' in a software engineering course.

When opening a VI, it keeps asking me to locate the same VI.

I have been given a couple of VI's and several subVI's to modify. When I try opening the VI's I get a prompt to "Please find the VI named ..." asking for the same VI over and over again. This continues until I hit cancel, in which case the VI does not open at all. Please help me diagnose/resolve this. Thanks.

benoit,
I have seen your post on other questions and understand that you have a problem which has not been resolved. However, it is not clear that the problem which artoon is having is the same problem which you are having. I understand your frustration as I have been victim of corrupted files in the past due to crashes, but this forum is not designed for you to vent your frustrations. This forum is made up of people like you who are LabVIEW programmers and are willing to take a little time out of their busy schedule to help out a fellow programmer. Unfortunately some questions do not have an easy answer. Please allow artoon to answer these questions for himself so that we can see if he is having the same problem as you are.

IPhoto keeps asking me to confirm the same faces.

This is a strange one.
Every time I goto faces I see the same faces from the same 26 photos asking to be identified. Every time I confirm them with the relevant people and then continue onto faces.
I close iPhoto properly with no crashes and then when I load iPhoto for the next time I am presented with the same problem.

Let me add my voice. Same problem here, but some 1600 faces. Every time I finish identifying quite a number of them and come back later to go ahead with the identification, I see the same faces again. I am not amused.

Download the same update firmware of iPad again and again

I had downloaded the update firmware of iPad, when I back home, I clicked on the new firmware and tried to update my iPad, but iTunes asked me to re-download the firmware again. Even I's sure that it's the same firmware.

3.6.26 is working on my OSX 10.4.11 PPC, but it keeps asking me to download the most current version for my system... why?

I've dowloaded and updated 3.6.26, which Firefox stated was the most current version, but when I restart the browser, it then states I'm NOT running the most current version for my system... why?
I'm running a Mac PPC G4 10.4.11 Thanks for any assistance you can provide :)

Thanks for the Reply Alice... :) The message is when I restart Firefox, which activates the update, and the 'thanks' page on Firefox's site (not Google)... So, I'm curious why it gives me my most current update, then tells me that there might be a more current version for my system... very strange! Anyway, I'm definitely sticking with 3.6.26, unless I get info that suggests there's a .27 or .28 flying around that may be useful... I will definitely NOT go to 9 or 10.... :)

I have downloaded the update but Firefox keeps asking me to download the new version, what am I doing wrong?

I moved it to applications and then to the desk top icon for firefox. When I open Firefox it tells me that I need the new version. Is there a new version everyday?

The latest version for your os is: Firefox 11 or if you like 3.6.28
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html for FF11
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html for FF3.6.28
If you have install one of the above your user agent is corrupted and that identifies you as Firefox/3.6.3
see your user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
