Mac OS combo update - any probs for other macbk air users??

Hi, the recent update doesnt enable diskdrive sharing?
Is it an upgrade from mac os x 10.5.2, OR?
I'm a new macbk user, just barely 3 days old. One of the first things I got prompted was a software update for Mac OS combo and I did. Thot this would replace having to install using the cd-roms. Now when I want to install windows vista via bootcamp, I cant - cos I realise that I dont have the function to share disj, and I dont own one external diskdrive yet - thot I could do without...
help...?
tx for reading this
cheers

a clean install and rebuild. is an exercise in futility. Apparently, you mucked things up. Boot with the disc that came with the MBA, follow the steps in your Everything Mac booklet to restore to factory condition, and on first boot use the Setup Assistant to migrate from the other MBA. Then, run Software Update.

Possibly if your company has an agreement with Apple and the machine is purchased through the company. Otherwise, no.

I have my Launch Vidoe ready and the "share" drop down is gray so no ability to send it anywhere. what is this? I went on to update the computer for other reasons, now Safari 6.0.2 asit interferred with downloads; and from OS X basic to Mtn Lion 10.8.2.

Make sure your Project has the focus. You cannot Share an Event.

HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

MAC OS 10.5.8 Combo update installation probs

Hi!!
I'm trying to update my mac with the new software update, but unfortunately, it can't seem to finish installing. im stuck in the "configuring installation" part. i left the computer for two hours hoping that it would continue with the installation, but it didn't.
what seemed to be problem? do i have to redownload the update?

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Saving Apple Updates on CD for other machines?

Hi,
I just recently set up an iMac G3 and installed my retail version of os 10.4.6. Then I updated it to 10.4.11. I found a stand alone installer on Apple's website so that I can do that again without contacting the Apple server. Then I ran software update and got some more updates. It's those updates that I'd like to archive so that I can do this on several other machines that I'm setting up. Also, I like old stuff and I'm not sure when Apple will stop providing these updates so I'd like a copy I can put on a CD.
Thanks,
John

I tend to think dashboard is neat, but not neccesary for my everyday workflow.
it is possible to enable and disable it as needed,
by entering the following commands into the terminal:
-- To turn Dashboard off:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
-- To turn Dashboard on:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
-- You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
killall Dock

HT5622 my ipad shows 49 updates but i get "updates are available for other accounts..."

cannot update ipad. I log in to my acount but the message says I have updates available for other accounts...what do I do?

I guess that the easy and obvious answer would be to log into your other accounts if you have multiple accounts (Apple ID's).
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID that you are currently logged into and sign out. Then sign in with one of the other accounts that you bought the other apps with.

Any way to get the mail app to get updated message counts for other folders

I've been wondering if there's a way to get the mail app to not only check if new mail exists in my main "inbox", but also all of the folders on my imap server? I can individually visit each folder I'm interested in and while it works, I have to guess what folders might have mail in them.. It would be great to have the phone check all folders (or perhaps a list of subscribed folders) for new mail on a regular basis.. Any ideas?

I have opened a wrap-up thread related to the issue reported here and in many other threads -- "iPhone Mail does not poll IMAP subfolders for server-side processed e-mails": http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1355852

Massive Update Download Prob for FCP Studio / DVDSP

since a few week I will download the latest FCP 5.1.4. Update and since today the DVDSP Update. But everytime when I insert my Apple FCP Studio Serialnumber the ApplePage tells me, that I've donwloaded the latest Version ? but I do not . . . .:-?
What I must tell: I will download it from a another Mac because my Work Mac is not on LAN and only on 56k Modem.
Al previous Updates work fine with this Method, but now - not !
Any workaround ?
Thanx for help

hhhhhaaaaa, so, I called the Number . . .nad what tells the guy on the line ? Oh, that's a Problem, so the only way you can download it is via the Mac and the SoftwareUpdates Function in OSX . . . Question: So, when I move the FCP to another Mac I can't download any Update via the Apple Web Site ? mmh, yes, I think so . . . .
uuuuuhhhhh . . . I can't understand this . . .
But thanks for the tip

FCP 5.1.1 update: Any benefits for PPC G5 users ?

Issue with Import Panasonic P2 and 720p/24PN Footage Resolved
OR NOT
I just did the entire 5.0 to 5.1.1 crossgrade/update, and it did NOT fix the issue with duplicating frames when using rendered P2 material.
A bit more explanation...
We're doing a project shot with the Panasonic P2 - 720p-24fps. Whenever the material in the timeline needs to be rendered, it does not reference the correct frame, and I wind up with a duplicate frame.
Let's say I have a 5 second shot, with a subtitle appearing at 2 seconds in. Frames 1-48 are clean, and frame 49 - 120 have a subtitle. When using realtime playback, everything is fine - but when I render the subtitle, frame 48 is duplicated, and all of the subtitled frames are off by one.
Sam thing happens if you color correct, or do anything involving rendering. Anyone else having this issue? Any known workarounds?

Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing. Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar". How do I fix this? I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program. Help

I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting: Mac OS, device, device OS...
Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC). The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be. Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL? You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
Now do you have more than one calendar? In the DM how are you setting the sync? Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device? Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device? Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

I have 1Password for Mac and recently updated to Firefox5 for Mac and cannot locate 1Password in Plug-ins or extensions....How can I add this vital plug-in to FireFox5 OR how can I roll back things and re-install FireFox4?

I am running FireFox5 on a 2008 (Santa Rosa) MacBook Pro.
OSX 10.5 Leopard
I have the current version of 1Password v.3.5.13 (FireFox5-friendly)
I am running FireFox5 for Mac.
I have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.8.5 (which, by the way is reading "Compatibility Problems" with an orange exclamation mark)
My Extensions tab shows 1Password for FireFox3 & FireFox4& Add-on Compatibility Reporter, but no 1Password for FireFox5.
(I can email a screenshot of this if you like, let me know.)
Any ideas?
I'd really rather use FireFox than Safari, but if it's a no go, (no compatibility, no rool-back) I'll be forced to dump FireFOx and use Safari (only my choice of last resort.)
JohnSea

Thanks James!
I appreciate you responding.
Since I'm running Leopard (Software reasons-Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio) my task now is to locate Firefox4 and re-install it....
But haven't found where on the Mozilla site it resides for download.....on with the the fun!
Cheers!
