Installing an update for a game

I don't know what I am doing very much, but when I load a game on my iMac it says that there is a soft ware update available for it. when it downloads the update it tells me to install and relaunch. Almost immediately after clicking that button it tells me: "Update Error! game does not have permission to write to the application's directory! are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help." I have no idea what it is talking about.

When you load the game, does it appear in the Applications or some other folder? Or does it appear within its own folder which you had to click a .dmg file to get to show? If this is the case, move the game out of the folder to somewhere suitable on your Mac such as the Applications folder (it will copy, leaving the original in place). Then run the game from this copy.

    Try resetting the iPad. Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignore the off slider if it should appear. This should take only about ten seconds or so. Once shut down is compete, turn the iPad back on.

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    I did it the .dmg way alone and has problems with itunes crashing. This is a better way to ensure that there is not anything left behind to cause issues.
    You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
    Delete iTunes
    Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
    Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
    Type the following commands:
    cd /Applications/
    This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Enter the Administrator password to confirm
    There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
    Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
    You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

    Apple appears to be having trouble on their servers. Try again in a few hours.

    Cannot install latest updates for Bridge and Photoshop CC. I get the following message: "Update Failed. The download appears corrupted.  U43M1D207."
