Mac OS X 10.4.11 update problem

I've downloaded the 10.4.11 update via "software update", and standalone.
I get a message that the update won't mount.
I don't understand what that means. I'm the only user(administrator) of the computer.
24inch imac.
Can anyone help?
Currently running 10.4.10
Thanks..Tom

Hello again, Checksum determines if the download corrupted or not. To use it, open Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility.app. From the menu bar select Image>Checksum>SHA-1... a window will appear allowing you to select the disk image. Select it and click the "Checksum" button at the bottom. When finished, a good 10.4.11 PPC Update will show
132d354637604c63d28b57e57e74aed1b21c9894
Intel 10.4.11 Update will be
4c9103699c7925cc0277cffce4c7419a9d469c31
You may want to write it down. The results from the disk utility checksum cannot be copied and if you close the window you will have to run the checksum again.
Cheers,
Glynn
I just downloaded and verified the PPC download and it just stated:
Completed. SHA1
No number was given but it still passed the checksum....

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac 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, 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.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
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. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
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.
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 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. 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 10.4.10. compliant. 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:

Strange Mail problems after Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update

All of a sudden, Mail has started behaving strangely on me and I believe this could be caused by the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update that hasn't been released yet. Whenever I create a new message and click "Send", instead of sending the message, Mail turns it upside down and starts filling my desktop with copies of any attachments included in the message.
Another problem is that all incoming messages seem to disappear just after being received. After several hours looking for them everywhere, I've finally been able to find some of them under my keyboard, but I don't know how to put them back in the Inbox, nor do I know where the rest could be located.
I've found a rule in Preferences set up to move all incoming mail that arrives before it was sent into a custom mailbox folder named "Time Traveling", but the missing messages aren't there either. Also, I don't remember ever having created that mailbox folder nor the associated rule. Could it have been created by a virus in a message I haven't received yet?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ken, sorry to hear what happened to you.
My post was just an April 1st joke. When I posted it, I had no idea when Mac OS X 10.4.6 would be released. If you look at it, you'll see that nothing in my post makes any sense (it requires a little sense of humor which, given your situation, you might not have at this moment).
Now, Mac OS X 10.4.6 has become a reality. Posting in this thread about real problems could cause confusion and reduce the likelihood of getting help, so I suggest you start a new thread instead. Maybe a forums Host should lock the thread?

Problem connecting to jabber account after mac os x 10.5.5 update

Hallo,
I have two accounts - an AIM and a jabber account. After installing the Mac OS X 10.5.5 update I got trouble on both accounts. Changing to port 443 fixed the AIM problem, but I still have problems connecting to my jabber account
On console I get these messages:

I am using the latest Safari 4 beta with 10.5.7, and X11 works fine. My guess is you installed the update on an already dysfunctional system. I suggest you may want to try the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now download the 10.5.7 Combo Updater from support.apple.com/downloads/ and reinstall the update.

HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):

Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:

Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

2006-004 Mac OS X 10.4.7 update crashed Macbook

Hi, today i was installing the newest 2006-004 Mac OS X 10.4.7 update for my macbook, and it was installing it, and midway it said cannot install, and it told me that it was going to put it in the trash and i quit. after that i started having problems, my safari and firefox kept crashing. I tried restarting but it hanged and crashed. afterward i held down the power button to shut down.
i turned it on again and now stuck in grey apple screen with the spinning dial, i loaded the boot disk in and tried repairing disk and permissions. no help. even safe mode " holding shift key" didn't work. I'm at a loss, all the apple stores "geniuses" can't help me and were booked till tomorrow night.
i need to back up all my pictures and files, which i cannot access, i'm new to mac so i'm not sure what i can do, if i do the install but not erase and install a new copy of osx will it delete and erase all my pics and files? i didn't think of backuping up anything since i've only had this since 5/24 and all my frends with mac's have never had any significant problems with it.
is there anyway i can get in and backup the files? i heard there's a way to access with a firewire cable and another mac?
any help would be greatly appreciated. i didn't think Apple's Own update would mess up my new macbook this bad. any one else had this problem?
Thanks again

Same problem.
DEAD MACBOOK.
I have never been this outraged.
I have owned many, many, macs and never problems like this.
And Apple has the "Nerve" to say things like "Hasta la Vista - VISTA"?
Well, if it werent for my windows xp machine, I would not be able to troubleshoot my mac. Hasta la vista nothing til they get it together.
I even thought about installing osx on my Dell D600 so I could use target mode to save my macbook and what not. But, I just don't think it's right. Not to mention illeagal.
So,
SOLUTION : Archive and install.
Backup, then CLEAN INSTALL.
Hours, and hours.
I am deathly affraid to update my mac now ever again after this.
I go to wifi hotspots as well because I only have dial-up at home. With the "How to highjack a macbook in 60 sec." article floating all around the internet telling PC users how to take over our macbooks, as soon as apple fixes this, I will be AFRAID to install this fix. Not good.
No more WIFI hotspots for me.
No more Updates for me.
Maybe, no more apple for me if this keeps up.
Looks like the move to intel wasn't so smooth afterall Mr. Jobs!
Apple is having many many issues like MS has had. Who's the copycat now?
MMMMMMMM. Ubuntu Linux sounding better on my macbook everyday.

Error downloading Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Hi,
I'm trying to download of the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 but the file always comes corrupted.
I have tried the download from two diferent places but the error persist.
The downloaded file always have 1.7GB but the specified in the download page is 1.9GB.
And i get a error when i try to download by the Software Update.
Any suggestions?
UPDATE:
Reading More Like This links I see another users with the same problem.
I tried the download in another language (pt-BR) but the error persist.

Hi,
Funny (though it wasn't at the time!) but I was initially experiencing the same problems: part downloads (file size mismatch) and download errors.
However, at the time I was accessing the same WiFi connection with a PC while I waited for the download.
Now, it shouldn't make any difference, I appreciate that, and I've downloaded items in the past where there was another 3 computers accessing the same wireless connection. In this respect It may be a coincidence.
However, after 4 failed attempts I decided to sever the link between the PC and the wireless connection (only allowing my Mac access) and I received the update with no issues whatseover.
If you also have multiple machines accessing the same wireless connection, it might be worth a shot.
Best

Another OS 10.4.11 update problem - disk images won't mount?

Hi people,
Have never had to post on these boards as i've never suffered serious problems with my mac, until today.
Whilst installing/updating my powerbook to version 10.4.11 my mac seemed to crash so i rebooted my system. Probably not the best thing to do (i have little patience so was annoyed).
I'm guessing the update installed as my mac says it is now version 10.4.11 but when i go to mount any disk images it will not mount at all, but instead comes up with this message -
"The following disk image failed to mount
Reason - error 0xe00002c9"
I've verified and repaired the permissions on the startup drive in disk utility, and also verified the volumed and it says everything is ok in those departments. Although the option to repair the disk is not available for selection.
I've downloaded applejack, but obviously can't mount the image file.
Please help as this is a big problem with regards to my work and play!
Thanks for reading.

Hmm thank you for your time and effort on this problem BDAqua but unfortunately it still doesn't want to work! The 'DMG utility' program comes back with an error when trying to mount any of the disk images i have tried. I have been able to get up the script of what its doing in the 'console' application but that is ridiculously long, and i'd be lying if i said i have a single clue about what any of the script in it means!
So i'm guessing i'm gunna be archiving and re-installing. But this boads another question as i haven't a slightest clue about how to archive my files as i really don't want to lose any of it.
sorry BDAqua

Back up your iCal files before applying the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update

It seems as though this sort of thing should not happen, but the mere application of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update - in small but noticeable ways - damaged my existing calendars, rendered a subscribed calendar effectively unsubscribed, and the Birthdays calendar present but empty. Neither of these calendars were actually removed: they just appeared devoid of data.
Because I had previously backed up the calendars using the Back up Database… option in iCal before applying the update, I simply restored them to fix the issues in the standard calendars.
To fix the subscription problem, I had to unsubscribe, then re-subscribe to that calendar.
To fix the Birthdays calendar issue, I simply had to launch the Address Book, remove a birthday in one record, exit the edit mode, then paste it back in. Instantaneously, the Birthdays calendar was populated with data once again.
Does anyone actually test these updates before they are released? [Facetious question, I know - but one does have to wonder…]

You have limited options:
1. If there is an Apple retailer nearby you can have them copy the update to a CD for you - usually at no or nominal charge.
2. You can go to a local Mac user group (if there is one in your area) where they would be happy to provide a copy of the update for you on a CD at no or nominal charge.
3. You can find another Mac user who has a high-speed connection and can download the update for you.
4. You can call AppleCare and order a copy of the update on CD for a charge of (I think) around $9.95.
5. You could find a Mac owner somewhere who would copy the update to a CD and mail it to you at any negotiated cost. However, do not solicit this assistance on these forums. Of course anyone reading this post could offer their help.

Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update download

We have dial-up connection through Juno because we do not have any high speed internet available were we live. We were unable to retrieve the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update due to the size of the update. Our internet connection is lost before it comes close to updateing. We tryed downloading the update from the apple store and for some reason when I go to resume the update after loseing our internet connection the update is starting all over again instead of resumeing where it left off. Does anybody have a soluntion to my problem? My computer is a I Mac with intel 2 duo 2.16 GHz, one processor, two cores, L2 cache 4 MB, Memory 1 GB, Bus speed 667 MHz

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

Hi
Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
Any further information required?
M. Miller

Thanks for your quick reply.
We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
Have you heard anything similar?

No problem. Your English is better than mine...and it's my only language.
I was able to subscribe and download all of your videos...either by the "Get All" button or the "get" button next to each episode.
The error about the server may be caused by network problems or iTunes timing out. If you try to download a lot of videos at the same time (such as with the "Get all" button) iTunes may time out waiting for some downloads to start (your server and network can only handle so much at one time)....and gives an error. Try downloading the episode that gave the error after the other downloads complete using the "Get" button.
Remember that the iTunes client software is on a schedule as to when it checks for new episodes and what it does when it finds one. In your iTunes preferences under "Podcasts" are options the default is to check "everyday". Meaning that if it checked at 8am on Monday it won't check again until 8am on Tuesday. The other options are what it does when it finds a new episode...the default is to download the latest episode. There are options to "do nothing" and "download all".
ayez un beau jour !

10.5.7 update problems

After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

jjtopspin wrote:
Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

Two macs, one can connect to iPhone update server, one cannot

We have multiple macs and iphones in the house. One mac can connect to the iphone update server without any problems. the other cannot. Both are on the same network. Both have identical firewall settings. One mac can manually download the iphone update file; the other cannot. Anyone have any idea what could be keeping the other mac from connecting to the download server? The other mac has no network problems with any other sites, only Apple's download server.
Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem.
