Download the combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361. Before running it, bring up Disk Utility (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) and repair permissions. Apply the combo update, then repair permissions again afterwards. The combo update contains all prior updates in one package.

Click on iTunes and do comand Q. Be sure you are quitting iTunes to finish update and not just closing the screen.

A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

What Pat said:

From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
You can now proceed with the installation.

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

Calendar is locked on my MAC.
I keep getting the message" The server responded with an error: Access to icloud is not permitted. The server responded 403 to oepration caldavmigrate to server queueable operation."
How do I recify?

We previously had a similar issue when migrating multiple accounts from MobileMe to iCloud. The issue was resolved by disabling and then enabling iCal sync through iCloud on our iMacs in System Preferences.
Always backup your calendar before troubleshooting (File > Export > iCal Archive).
The following steps are roughly from a Apple Support Community discussion.
Open iCloud in System Preferences.
Switch off (uncheck) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
Backup iCal before doing this. You will need to remove calendar data.
Open iCal and verify the iCloud account is removed in the iCal preferences under accounts.
Close iCal, reopen System Preference and switch on (check) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
Reopen iCal and verify the iCloud account is enabled in the iCal preferences under accounts.
At this point if the problem persists you might try completely signing out of iCloud and then signing back in. But remember to backup all related data (iCal, Contacts, Mail, Photostream, etc) before turning off iCloud sync!

My mac book pro keeps getting kicked off home wifi

My Mac Book Pro keeps getting kicked off wifi.When I get kicked out I turn Airport on and off ,it then works for a few minutes then I have to turn Airport on and off again.Any Ideas?
Thank you

Hello there Joanny,
I have a neat lil gem here about troubleshooting wifi connectivity on the Mac OS platform. Named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US. I recommend this section first:
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
And this section if needed: Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet.
Take care,
Sterling

After latest updates keep getting extension issues

After updating with the newest updates today, we have been having to repair permissions to mount a firewire disk. It seems we keep getting messages that certain extensions are not loaded or installed properly. Ths is firewire to HP print drivers to plugins/Mach.kext was installed improperly. Anyone else having this issue. I have already repaired permissions twice and this is still happening-yes I restarted using command R and repaired permissions that way.

Sorry, as I said before, everything was running just fine no errors - nothing until I updated thru APPLE the latest updates, which included HP printer updates for the remote printers, security update, and a couple others, but thru APPLE. The system itself is only a few months old as the hard drive had been totally wiped clean and the new system installed at that time.
SO if Apple is incapable of updating properly as suggested what should a person do. Now as to the backups, since this computer is strictly a shooting computer the only thing that ever needs backing up are the raw files that are shot. That is done by using the two other internal drives.
MacKeeper is not on this computer, in fact only MacScan is on this computer and it is up to date. Now I do have MacKeeper on two other computers and I do not have this problem like you are saying I should be.
Also as I said, I restarted the computer using the command -R and going into the repair permissions then into repair disk, more then once, actually three timesback and forth until nothing at all came up in permissions as being wrong and the disk repair went quickly. After all of that, there were no more errors.
So if repairing permissions does nothing as you indicate and DU only repairs the directory, I should have accomplished nothing, but it did and after 4 days I can say those errors are no longer popping up causing application issues loading. I would assume since nothing is automatically started these applications are system oriented.
I have been diagosing and repairing my own Mac's since 1988, but until these new systems with the everything known to mankind intergrated, I never had these problem whichis why I came to this forum to see if anyone has been having the same problem, obviously not.
Now while it might be really nice to back up your hard drive every week or so ifnot every other day, the size and magnitude of such a job is more then most people should deal with. Apple had a great little app a few years ago that you could tell exactly what you wanted backed up, now you need to backup the entire hard drive. Now to be honest, I do not keep all my eggs in one basket nor do we have just one computer doing everything. Each older computer gets a job, different hard drives have their own jobe to do. I do not trust hard drives so everything of importance goes on CD - DVD or now BluRay. Since the first days of CD's I have had only one failure to be able to read, that was because somehow the DVD became scratched. Since I keep two computers on OS9, I still can read my first CD's. I can not say the same for the few SCSI drives I still have around.
What I have seen is that most people have too many conflicting applications on their computers, that generally causes the problems you have talked about. Running permissions every week or two is one of the smartest ideas ever from Apple.
But back to my original problem that I no longer have, these errors directly a result from upgrading thru Apple should not be happening to anyone.

I am trying to update CS5 on my Mac and I keep getting an error message

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
