I installed lion without software updating and now itunes doesn't work and my computer crashes when loading photobooth?

I didn't bother to install the software updates my computer needed to do.  It said something about prepping for lion,  but I thought if I installed lion it wasn't neccesary.  Now seeing as I have all these bugs,  I feel like that was a mistake.  I also did not bother to make a time machine thing to go back on,  or any copy of my snow leopard hard drive.  Is my only option now to make a clean install of snow leopard with the cd and wipe everything,  then install lion again?
I tried using command R on startup to reinstall lion,  but it says my disks are locked. 

Hi, likely something else isn't updated, maaybe Safari?
Is his he version you have, & Safari 5.0.3 or more?

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • HT1338 I have a macbook and I keep pressing software update and my computer version 10.5.8 and it says there are no updates anything I can do?

    I have a macbook and I keep pressing software update and my computer version 10.5.8 and it says there are no updates anything I can do?

    10.5.8 is the last release for OS X 10.5.
    If you want to upgrade your operating system, you have to buy it, and it's not available via download. The next upgrade for you would be to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. In the US, call the Apple online store at 800-MY-APPLE and order 10.6 from the legacy products list. They will send you a DVD, which you can install, then use Software Update to get to the last release of 10.6.8.
    If you want to upgrade further, and your sytsem will support it, you can call the Apple online store again to buy Lion or you can connect to the App Store to buy and download Mountain Lion. If your system will support Lion or ML, you probably should have 4GB of memory for reasonable performance.

  • Mail, Safari, Software Update and Yahoo Messenger crash on startup in 10.4.

    I'm running a G4 Dual 1 Ghz with 1.5 Ram on 10.4.9 and Mail, Safari, iPhoto, Software Update and Yahoo Messenger crash on startup. Pro Tools (which is why I remain on 10.4.9) Firefox (which is how I can communicate now) and iTunes work fine.
    iPhoto crashed and never started again back when I was on Panther. However, all the others started crashing on startup shortly after I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.4.9.
    I have run Disk Utility to verify disk and repair permissions. With the exception of iPhoto, it seems that the others crash when it starts to stream from the Internet.
    Any ideas?

    Here's what console showed. Not much:

    My assumption on things such as Mail and Safari is that once I upgraded the system those applications would upgrade as well. As to Yahoo Messenger, I downloaded the proper version and reinstalled, but it crashes as well.
    Seems to be something when it's about to connect to the Internet--with the exception of Firefox, which is why I can post now.

    PS -- I'd consider the 10411 combo update, but Digidesign only supports Pro Tools 7.4 up to 10.4.9. That said, many people use it with 10.4.11 and I'll definitely try the 10.4.11 upgrade before I try an entire system reinstall.

    Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
    I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
    And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue.

  • Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

    Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

    I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
    Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
    You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
    Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
    The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want it.

  • How to download updates for OS Lion without Software Update center

    hello guys
    im in Iran  and i want to update my Lion OS but the download size is 1.24 GB and the internet speed in here is awful , how can i dowload the updates without software update? because its cant be resume ( the internet link is going down hourly )
    thanks for your attention

    BTW, don't give up. You might have success downloading it in a day or two. The download speed today and tomorrow will be slow, as the servers will be choked with everyone trying to update Lion at the same time.
    Try again once the rush is over; you should be able to download the whole thing in an hour then.

  • Updated QT, now Player doesn't work

    Hi everybody,
    I just updated a lot of things (QT included) via software update. Now, all of my movie files play insanely slowly / very choppy in the player. Completely unwatchable!!! Any advice? Here are my specifics:
    Quicktime Player version 7.5 (149.5)
    Mac OS version 10.4.11
    1.8 GHZ G5
    1.5 GB DDR SDRAM
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm pretty upset that the videos I've payed money for on iTunes are now unwatchable on my computer!!!!
    Thanks
    Dan P.

    Hi Dan!
    I'll save you the trouble!
    (I have had no problems at all after installing QT 7.5 on my G5 iMac in case you think it can't work at all.)
    It is possible that something in either your pre-existing setup or your method of installing updates, are the root causes of whatever problems you are having with QT 7.5 particularly with choppy playback. Out of date plug-ins and add-ons could also be playing a part. Some users have found choppy playback to be associated with improperly loaded plug-ins and add-ons from third party vendors as well as those included by Apple with prior versions of Quicktime.
    Third-party add-ons include DivX, Flip4Mac, or FLV components, while the included plug-ins are AppleIntermediateCodec.component, and AppleMPEG2Codec.component. The files for these are located in the root library, therefore a faulty component will load improperly for all users, resulting in choppy playback even when a user creates a new account. Some may need updating or just reinstalling to work with QT 7.5.
    You should therefore:
    Remove and re-add all quicktime components and plug-ins.
    Navigate to /Library/QuickTime/
    Move all plug-in ".component" files from the folder (to the Desktop, for instance)
    Launch QuickTime and quit it again
    Place the ".component" files back in the QuickTime library folder
    Launch QuickTime again, and the choppiness should be better.
    A few more things to try but in each case first close all applications and repair permissions.
    1 Try opening then closing GarageBand, or launching then quitting the "Audio MIDI Setup" application located in Applications/Utilities. Failing that, go back to Audio MIDI Setup, and under the Audio Devices tab, make sure the Audio Output Format is 44100.0 2ch-16bit.
    Restart your Mac.
    2 Go to the Library on your main hard disk and find the Internet Plug-Ins folder. Try removing the following files:
    QuickTime plugin.plugin
    Quicktime plugin.webplugin
    Restart your Mac.
    Re-install the Quicktime 7.5 update
    Go to Home/Library/Receipts and delete the file Quicktime 7.5 pkg.
    Download from the Download page on the Apple site the correct version of Quicktime 7.5 for your Mac.
    Install it and restart your Mac. Repair permissions.
    3 If still no luck, it is time to look carefully at your plug-ins and add-ons. The safest way is to download and re-install all of them. The ones you need in order to see and hear virtually everything the web has to offer are:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of all recent Security Updates.
    (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    If none of the foregoing worked, then you should consider and archive and install before repeating all of the above.

  • "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration"  Now  Itunes doesn't work on my windows 7 machine.  What to do?

    I have a Windows 7 system.  ITunes used to work fine.  Recently I am getting a message:
    "ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation.  Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
    I have reloaded and repaired ITunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime.  Nothing works.
    Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine.  Anybody?

    Hey there bogusss,
    I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
    If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
    Resolution
    QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
    Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
    During the download:
    If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
    If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
    Reopen iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
