IMac Beats MacPro on Live Update

Hello,
Can someone enlighten me on this crazy comparison?
For some reason, AE perfoms LiveUpdate better in the iMac than in a MacPro-8 Core!
I have both machines side-by-side and I can testify.
I have only done an initial but important test.
Timeline scrubbing (dragging) works smoothly in iMac. In MacPro, resolution drops to unrecognizeable display.
Any setting I may have overlooked? Please help.
Thanks!

Which version of AE? Could be anything from the Fast Preview stuff in CS6 or conventional OpenGL in previous versions being worse due to insufficient graphics power to something odd with your cache settings. and of course check the prefs for that stuff as well.

My apple ID and password is now different and cloud does not recognize the changes. How do I change it on Imac and Macpro

Can anyone tell me how to change my default ID on Cloud, to my new ID and passord? I have the problem with both computers. The Imac and Macpro. There are no options in the box to make changes.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

Disable live updating on iTunes

How does one go about disabling live updating in iTunes. I do not use smart playlists and am trying to optimize the environment that is in iTunes, since my computer runs very slowly when iTunes is running.
I have an iMac G4 (isight I believe). It has a 340Gb HD (with 180Gb free) and 1.5Gb of memory. Yes this is an older Mac, and since upgrading to 9.1, iTunes runs significantly slower than the 8.x version I was using. When I try to switch songs the little colorwheel is displayed for up to 10 seconds before anything happens. Also, when playing video (TV shows, movies), the video is very jumpy.
The library I have is on an external RAID drive (LaCie 4Big Quadra) and the size of the library is about 975Gb. I do have a significant amount of playlists (not smart playlists, just regular ones) for most of the albums. I also have about a hundred 'custom' playlists (from different albums same or different composer).
I have been informed that the number of playlists I have is slowing iTunes down.
I don't like the other methods of displaying the albums, thus I use playlists to keep track of the albums I have on my iMac.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Select a smart playlist
File > Edit Smart Playlist
Note that iTunes automatically includes some smart playlists already, so you have some even if you didn't make them. Top rated, Recently Added, etc.

Newer versions of anything include newer features, which often means slower. I was happy with 7.5 and have stuck with it because I don't need bells and whistles.
Also, when playing video (TV shows, movies), the video is very jumpy.
That's because your computer is old and slow compared to the demands of modern video formats. There's a few tweaks you can try but frankly they likely won't do much and might not be easy or possible in your computer (like buying a faster video card).

One thing about iTunes is that when you do pretty much anything it re-writes the library file. Stopping live updating will help. Still, the bigger the library file, the longer it takes to load, unload, and write. The more playlists you have, the more items you have, the longer it takes.
I have been informed that the number of playlists I have is slowing iTunes down.
yes.
I don't like the other methods of displaying the albums, thus I use playlists to keep track of the albums I have on my iMac.
So, it's your decision, and you have to decide if it's worth the slow-down trade-off.

Norton Anti-virus-Unable to Live Update (Virus Def) Error/Java 1.4.2

Hello all.
I have Norton Anti-virus 10.1.1 running on my iMac, Live Update has always been set on "auto" scheduling.
Until these few days, I have difficulties Live Updating the latest virus definition, I will get this error message window:
Updating Error
There was an error performing the update (OK button)
I emailed Symantec and got a reply, saying the problem could be due to Java 1.4.2, they ask me to re-install Java 1.4.2
However, a check at Apple's Download site reveals no single stand-alone Java 1.4.2 installer, only updates. Is Java 1.4.2 part of the current OS or was from previous OS?
Anyway when I tried downloading the Java 1.4.2 Update, my iMac refuses, in the installer it says:
You cannot install Java 1.4.2 Update 1 Package on this volume. This volume does not contain a version of Java that needs updating.
So if Java is the problem like what Symantec Support points out, how can I re-install Java 1.4.2?
Thanks and cheers

1. You wrote: "Also, to the previos post, I trashed all the Java receipts and still unable to (re)install Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2, I think the console results say it all, I have Java ver. 1.5, right?"If you see the same output as I provided, then you should have the same version: that should be obvious.
Don't touch anything in the Receipts directory unless you know what you're doing.
2. You wrote: "Dr. Smoke, not exactly sure how to go from here where you point to the URL, about checking the console messages/logs for Live Update? Can you help provide some pointers."The instructions I provided earlier, as well as my FAQ, are self-evident. You should not need any additional pointers. Re-read my instructions then re-read my FAQ.
Paraphrasnig what I wrote earlier: If you see the Live Update error again, check the ends of the logs cited in my "Checking Console for clues" FAQ for any messages related to LiveUpdate problems, e.g. messages citing LiveUpdate that were written to the ends of the logs I cite in my FAQ at the time the problem occurred. If you check immediately after the problem occurs, the messages — if any — would be at the end of the log.
What could be clearer than that?
3. I suspect the Java 1.4.2 info you were given earlier by Symantec was a red herring, i.e. a false lead. Console-related messages as noted in point 2 above would be helpful.
4. You might want to perform a general checkup for some common troublemakers: run the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. Likewise, following the Symantec advice to download the virus defs once and then trying again in a week or so isn't a bad idea.
Good luck!

Hi David,
I am not sure what is going on. The chdir (null) message sounds like the updating process is trying to change to a new directory but is failing, possibly because the directory does not exist. I am not sure how to debug this, but off hand, I would suggest deleting a couple of preference files and to delete the SU cache file. These would be:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
You should probably restart your computer to make sure that operating system forgets about the cache file.

Indeed - I meant to say - "software update for

Oh, of course, I've done the standard things, fixed

But alas, no healing? Any help - would be

HELP: Failure flashing BIOS using Live Update 5

Hi,
I used Live Update 5 to download the latest BIOS version for my MB. Then when I was running the update, I chose "". (I know it's incorrect and I should have chosen the other one.) After the update, the machine restarted and showed a cursor blinking on the top left on a black screen, and it wouldn't proceed any more. I can enter the BIOS without a problem. I can also boot from CD or USB, but the windows on my machine simply wouldn't boot.
After the problem arose, I have tried flashing the BIOS with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing tool on this forum. It tells me that but the same problem remains.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your time and consideration!

After any flash, the battery should be removed for awhile and the CMOS cleared. Reset all your BIOS menu settings again making sure the boot order etc. is correct and the proper mode is selected that your OS was installed under, i.e. IDE or AHCI mode.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email

If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

MSI Live Update Installation Causes Windows XP To CRASH!!

I have a MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253). Product specs are here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9VGM-V
I have attempted to obtain my updates for my drivers and utilities. MSI uses the Live Update to detect and suggest these for your system. However, I cannot get the software to install to my PC. I have tried to do in through the website AND by downloading it and running it off the hard drive. Each time it gets into the install process and during it - (Boom) - My PC Reboots. When Windows XP (Home Edition) boots up, it says "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." It goes through the reporting to Microsoft process and takes you to their website where it says "You have received a blue screen error. Unfortunatly we were unable to detect what caused this." Then goes on to suggest to restore your files or restore to an earlier state if your system has become unstable (blah blah). Now I really didn't ACTAULLY see a blue screen, the PC just rebooted. I am aware of the blue screen of death and all that. I understand the concept. But I don't know what could be wrong. My system is very basic with little upgrading from me. I have installed all the Windows Critical Updates, so I am now running Windows Service Pack 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tell you that.
NOTE: And the following might not have anything to do with my problem but I noticed on MSI's web site, located at this URL: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260
they say give a warning about MSI Live Update when installing it to my PC/Board. Look under the MSI Live Update Utility at the "Notes." It says:
"For K9VGM-V (MS-7253) mainboard, please do not select the DMI optopn.
Now I don't know what DMI means except maybe "Definition Multimedia Interface." And I don't get the chance to select any option during the process. If I do, the process hasn't made it that far before my PC crashes, and re-boots. Please, anybody got anything on this? Thank you.

Thank you so much. I just want to say I really appreciate when people do take the time to post me in return. So I really mean it, Thank You.
A quick question. You see, I have been upgrading my computer. I installed a Belkin USB USB Card (high speed 2.0) cause I needed more USB ports. Then I checked for compatable RAM and upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2Gigs. Everything alright.
Now, I have checked for processors that are compatable with my board K9VGM-V (MS-7253). And MSI's chart says mine is compatable with the AMD Athlon 2x 6000 (3.0Ghz) *IF* I use the 89 watt and not the 125 watt. Here is a good URL for the processor details I found:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%206000+%20-%20ADA6000IAA6CZ%20(ADA6000CZBOX).html
Now do you have any tips and I will probably have to flash to BIOS for sure after this upgrade won't I?

Smart playlists no longer live update

I wrote in about this once before but got no solution. I use a smart playlist on my ipod touch to give me only podcasts with less than 1 play, so that I only get the new ones. When I got the ipod for Christmas, and until about late January it was working fine. All of the sudden it stopped live updating, and now only does it when I sync. This really ***** because I listen to about 25 podcasts a week, so it can be very confusing as to which I've heard and which I haven't. Is there any solution for this? I've tried using podcast = true and genre = podcast, but neither will smart update. As I said it worked fine previously, so it's not that podcast = true is completely broken, as I've heard it said elsewhere.
Any help much appreciated.

Sorry about that, I must have misunderstood.
This is the situation in detail.
When it worked:
A podcast would download. It would instantly appear in my smart playlist labeled "podcasts".
The playlist has the rules "podcast = true" and "playcount = less than 1".
I would sync my ipod.
I unplug the ipod.
When I listened to a podcast on my ipod completely (until the very end), the podcast would be removed from the smart playlist immediately, even though my ipod wasn't plugged in.
Now:
A podcast downloads. It appears instantly in my smart playlist.
I sync my ipod, and it appears in the smart playlist there too.
I unplug the ipod.
I listen to a podcast (every second of it) through the playlist. When the podcast is over, that podcast remains in my playlist, despite having a playcount greater than 1.
When I listen to podcasts on my computer directly via the smart playlist, it IS live updated. That is to say that when the podcast ends it is immediately removed from the playlist. That's what I want to happen on the ipod when it isn't connected to my computer, just like it used to.

I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume. I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD. I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates. Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt. When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System". Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed). I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice. Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed. I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking. Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue? Alas, all were borked. It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two. One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff. I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well. Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious
I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable. I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop. The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping. That's just astounding

MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted. I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete. The error is pretty generic:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI site. No change. I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library. I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error. Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates. Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
Error in the application log didn't help:

what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
what MSI hardware you have?
Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
@jb0nez
I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it). Live Update still errors.
Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
@jb0nez
are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
@TZBC
Restore points are out - I let this slide too long. If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time). Live Update is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

Hi,
I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
Thanks.

Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
If no change:
Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
/* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.
