Installing and updating Appleworks

I have TiBook, OS X 10.4.6
I installed Appleworks 6.2.7.
It did not ask me for my password before installing with an administrator account.
Then, I downloaded the 6.2.9 updater from dot Mac and tried to use it.
It kept stopping on an error and said I did not have enough privileges to use the updater and kept stopping.
I then switched to a user account and the update proceeded to work.
It also did not ask to authenticate the installation.
Isn't this strange behavior? Or is it because the app is so old?

Sounds a bit strange to me, but I don't think it's an AppleWorks issue. The OS should act the same for any installation. You might try asking the question in the Tiger forum.
Regards,
Barry

My new 8th gen iPod nano is 'not recognized' by my computer. My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting...

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
Thanks

Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840)

Photoshop CC 2014 (fresh installed and updated) does not recognize my graphic processor (NVIDIA GTX 840) but instead only a Intel HD 4600. How do I ensure that PS is using the full phardware power of my notebook. My OS is WIN 8.1 Thanks for your help, Meik

In the end it was the NVIDIA software - excluding PS as application for support by high performance graphic processor to save energy - activated NVIDIA card use for PS & LR all fine now.

Adobe Illustrator appears as "installed and updated" on Creative Cloud but I cannot find the Application on my Computer (Windows)

Creative Cloud is installed and working on my computer, nevertheless the Application "Adobe Illustrator" appears as "Installed and Updated" but it is physically NOT in my computer.
I cannot find the Application in my computer, I installed Photoshop and other Apps, they are all to find in my PC, except Illustrator.
I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and all the Apps that I had, I re-installed creative cloud but still it showed "Adobe Illustrator" as "installed and updated", even if I have no Adobe illustrator folder on my Computer, it really does not exist in my computer.
What is wrong with the Application?

Klerica please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html for information on how to reinstall Adobe Illustrator.

All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
Just in case, let's try the fixit from the following document:

I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

Because I know enough to be dangerous... I was trying to extend the two outside columns down.... Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
The other link problem is the left sidebar links. When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page. I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article. From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
<a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it can't find the page). To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing. It makes no sense. When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what. I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
Got any ideas?

Cd burning issue after installing and updating snow leopard

After installing and updating snow leapard to the latest version, the cd burner for i-tunes quit working. it says" burning disk initializing" then "burning disk finishing" comes up with the error "the attempt to burn a disk failed. the disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

First try other disks, brand new, then try another brand, then consider backup user files and (clean and polish then) c booting off the 10.6.3 disk and simply reinstalling OS X then updating to 10.6.8 again.
Hopefully this should fix the issue in OS X software, you may have to reinstall certain third party software again that it's kext files got kicked out of OS X by the reinstall.
If you get hung booting at any time, simply hold the shift key down and then update your software then reboot normally

Fresh install and update patch problems 119060-17 , 122213-10 , 122912-02

Just yesterday, i installed a fresh Solaris 10 x86 onto some pc hardware. After getting solaris installed and issues with my network card, i downloaded and installed the free version of the update manager 1.0.x. Next, i proceeded to update all the general patches for the solaris 10 system. I started with the command 'pprosvc -i' from a terminal. It then proceeded to download and validate a bunch of patches successfully until it hit the following 3 patches:
119060-17 ---- X11 6.6.2_x86: Xsun patch
122213-10 ---- GNOME 2.6.0_x86: GNOME Desktop Patch
122912-02 ---- SunOS 5.10_x86: Apache 1.3 Patch
All 3 failed some kind of validation and then crashed the pprosvc program, at which point it exited with the following error:
122912-02 cannot be validated
119060-17 cannot be validated
122912-02 cannot be validated
Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).
I also tried to use the GUI Update Manager to update, hoping the problem was isolated to pprosvc, but that problem was also in the GUI with a similar error message:
Error occurred...The detailed error message is: Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digitial signature(s)
Anyone know why Sun's update patch process is so troublesome?
Getting Tired of Solaris Updates...
I should mention that this is the free solaris 10 x86 install and i don't have a service contract with Sun. If this problem persists, i don't think i'll get one, as i see only further problems after buying one.
tired and confused

Hi,
There is an issue with this that is currently being investigated. There is another thread that may shed some light on what is happening here;
http://forum.sun.com/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=316
Thread title is : Sun UC, Digitally Signed Patches Using New Verisign Certificates
In the short-term please ensure that the patch mentioned in it is installed.
To quote part of mentioned thread above:
"Once the Sun Update Connection client software is upgraded with patch 121118-06 (SPARC) or 121119-06 (x86/x64) or later revisions normal behavior will resume. "
If this fails to resolve your problem, would you be kind enough to post the output of the following command for analysis please;
# showrev -p | egrep -e '121454|121119|120336|121082|121564|122232|119789'
Sincerely,
Moderator.

Powerbook won't sleep after OS install and update

I replaced the original hard drive with a new drive, installed OS 10.4 from the boot disk, updated to 10.4.11, replaced original apps and user folder via Carbon Copy Cloner. Machine runs great, but won't Sleep, either from Apple menu or closing the lid, wakes up in 1-2 seconds. Had no problems prior to swap.
Airport and Bluetooth are off, nothing plugged into the port. Trashed bluetooth.plist and restarted. Checked Energy Saver, set to "drive sleep when possible". Nothing new showing in StartUp items, or Activity monitor. Same whether battery or plugged in.
The only diiference is that I typo'd my user name. I created a new Sys Prefs/Account, then deleted the old account. I've run Apple Disk Utility Repair/Permissions amd Onyx maintenance. Nothing scheduled to run in CCC or Onyx.
Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks BGreg,
I did Software Update via WiFi. It took multiple passes, as Java would install, Software Update would recheck, and then download the next version. Took about 5 passes, with 2-3 restarts to have everything updated vai S.U.
I used a generic Tiger disc as the boot disc.

I am trying to use screens and it keeps telling me it cannot detect Java even though I have installed and updated Java? What might be the problem?

I am trying to use "screenr" and it keeps telling me it cannot detect Java even though I have downloaded and updated Java? What is going on or what might I do to correct this?
Thanks

Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

I can't launch After Effects CS6 on Maverick 10.9.4. I tried uninstalling, re-installing and updating it

No iCloud after installing and updating Lion

I had wireless issues (still do) so I formatted, reinstalled Snow Leopard, re-downloaded Lion, updated Lion and I still do not have icloud Anyone have any suggestions?

So after many hours of searching and testing, I find that I was stuck on the 10.7.2 11C35 version of Lion, not the 11C74 (go to About This Mac and click on Version) even though it kept telling me that my software was up-to-date. In order to resolve this I had to boot in recovery mode and re-install Lion from the App Store which now has the updated Lion so minimal updates after install and on first boot asked me to setup iCloud. Still have my wireless issues but now I can sync my iphones, work pc and my mba contacts easier.
