Try installing the update again from here

This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

I am not able to install quick time after i deleted it accidentaly

I am not able to install quick time, after when i deleted it accidentaly. Actually it was installing but i am not able to see the icon in applications

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful it won't install normally.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I am not able to change the object after upgrade(SPAU Activity).

HI All,
I am not able to change the object after upgrade(SPAU Activity). Please any one can tell what is the reason with below details.
You are not authorized to make changes
Message no. 37202
Diagnosis
You have no authorization for the authorization object 'S_DEVELOP', which would allow you to change the screen concerned.
There is also a second possibility:
You want to edit a modified SAP screen in a customer system after an upgrate (SAP transport). The screen remains locked for editing until the new SAP version and the customer version have been aligned (Transaction SPAU).
System Response
Authorizations are assigned to users in profiles. Profiles are stored in the user master record.
Procedure
Comsult your system administrator.
Thanks in Advance,
Mahesh Devershetty

Hi,
Does the user who would like to change the screen have the authorisation
for S_DEVELOP in his profile? Please run transaction /NSU53 after the
failed authorisation. You will get an information which authorisation
is missing.
Additional please check if you have open entries in transaction SPAU for
that object.
If you couldn´t solve the issue I need an user to analyse it in your
development system.
That user needs all authorisation for development and has to be
registrated as developer.
The system uses the authorization object S_DEVELOP for Workbench objects
can you please check your user master record whether it contains the
required autorization or not.
Please also ensure that modification adjustment is turned on as per note:

Nothing is installing after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Why?

I recently bought the new OS software and the installation was successful. But soon as I start to run my new platform I realized the applications were not getting installed. I mean, new applications (even Apple software like updates) are not finishing the installer process. Whenever I click "Install" the system seems to stop the process. The button turns greyed out for a little while and soon become active again. But it doesn't continue the job.
Does anyone have seen something like that? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Update:
This week I tried to solve this problem using the Disk Utility from the Snow Leopard. It showed me different results from the ones when I used the Disc that came with my machine (Mac OS X Installation Disc 1 - Mac OS version 10.5.4). When I ran the option 'Verify Permissions' the system returned something like:
"Warning: The file SUID "System/Library/CoreSer.../ARDAgent" was modified and will not be repaired" (I don't know the exact message because I have a portuguese version).
And other 2 entries which a directory on Applications folder had a write("w") permission and the system has indicated that the correct permission was a "-".
I did the 'Repair Permissions' utility and then I also performed a 'Repair Disk'.
After that I proceeded with a new install which was successful but the errors weren't fixed. I'm still not able to install anything - even the fix packs! Either I can't change from my Account to another or apply any modifications on the other accounts.
Right now I'm searching on Google the error described above. Also, I don't know whether this subject is directly linked to the main problem of my concern: the installation of new programs. If anyone has any hints or tips, let me know.
My very thanks in advance.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

Numbers do not accept negative values after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I have iWork 9 installed in Leopard, and after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Numbers don't accept negative values, e.g. -141. They are defined as text and are aligned left in the cell, even if the cell is defined for numbers. Positive values are defined as numbers and aligned right.
All my statistics are wrong now. I don't where to find a sollution. Need to fix this asap.

I may guarantee that the cell contains a standard minus symbol.
I entered in the Index.xml to see if something was odd.
All is perfect.
I can't imagine that the OP replaced deliberately a wrong char by a correct one before sending the file to my mailbox.
And I repeat,
(1) in the file which I received, the cell was really treated as a text one.
(2) on my machine, on the OP's alternate machine, on the OP's alternate user account, resetting the cell's status to numbers apply well.
So, if a third party component is the culprit, it would be easy to identify: it must be in one of the user account able to receive third party items which means
<userAccount>:Applications
<userAccount>:Library:Address Book Plug-Ins
<userAccount>:Library:Fonts
<userAccount>:Library:Contextual Menu Items
<userAccount>:Library:LaunchAgents
<userAccount>:Library:PreferencesPanes
<userAccount>:Library:Scripting Additions
<userAccount>:Library:Services
<userAccount>:Library:Widgets
But from my point of view it would be more efficient to try to search a culprit in the
<userAccount>:Library:Caches folder.
An efficient tip would be to compress every subfolder of this folder as a .zip file and trash the original file.
Reboot so that the account restarts without the caches.
If th account continue to fail, my idea was bad.
If it behaves well, the culprit was one of the caches.
unpack them one by one so you will get the wrongdoer.

Titles and Transitions doe not work after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I can not get my Titles or transitions to work in iMovie any more after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Everything goes to a black screen. I am having problems with final cut express also. Anyone have an idea when there will be a patch to fix this? I would hate to have to down grade.

Holy *&$^, no kidding. I mean this is bad. I can't really do anything on iMovie at all. I really hope there is a simple solution to this, b/c if this really is part of a bad release, Apple will not hear the end of it.

FireWire 400&800 (IMAC Core2) NOT WORKING after Upgrading to SNOW LEOPARD!

My FireWire 400&800 (iMAC Core2) are *NOT WORKING* after Upgrading to SNOW LEOPARD!
Any Solutions?

I'll try your suggestions....Thanks!
Recently, I try to Re-install Snow Leopard, unfortunately, still unsuccessful.
The Mybook Icon only appears if it is connected via USB.
After using Firewire and getting used to the speed...USB 2.0 is like a Corvette racing a Veyron...lol
I am not upset on these issues, it is normal for new OS to have these problems...unfortunately, even OSX is not invincible.
I'm sure Apple/Steve is on every Programers A*s for a solution.
I still think APPLE'S OSX will still be the future of Operating system!
For now, still waiting for the patch and hopefully soon.
Suggestions are still Welcome for a Solutions:-)

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

Hello,
My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

GCC Elite 21n+ Printer Stop working after Upgrade to Snow Leopard

GCC Elite 21n+ B&W Laser Printer no longer works after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
A back-up HP 2015DN Printer works intermittently. It will not work with ethernet cable connected to Net Gear Ethernet Hub (model FS105). But will work most of the time when ethernet cable is connected directly to back of computer.
Back to GCC printer. Just cannot get it to work.
But I cannot figure out what the IP address is for the GCC printer. Tried 192.168.1.4:9300
See post (discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10127869). Still did not work.
GCC tech have this work around. Here is what I received from GCC via email.
+At 01/02/2010 12:21 AM we wrote -+
+Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
+You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
+You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
+1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+
+2) Click on 'Print & Fax' icon (second row 'Hardware', second icon from right side). The 'System Preferences' panel will change into the 'Print & Fax' panel without opening a new window.+
+3) Click on the '+' button to add a printer (2/3 the way down on the left side on the 'Print & Fax' panel). The 'Add Printer' dialog will open in a new window.+
+4) Select the 'IP' icon in the top row of the 'Add Printer' dialog.+
+5) Next to 'Protocol' select LPD Line Printer Daemon.+
+6) Next to 'Address' type in the IP address you assigned to the printer. The Mac should prompt "complete and valid address".+
+7) (Optionally) Next to 'Name' set the name of the printer to something friendlier. Normally it defaults to the IP address enter in the previous step. The 'Name' is what the printer is called in the print dialog.+
+8) (Optionally) Next to 'Print Using' change/verify the PPD.+
+9) Click 'Add' in the bottom right corner. After a few moments the 'Add Printer' dialog will close.+
+10) The printer added in the previous step will appear in the list on the left side of the 'Print & Fax' panel. Click on the close box in the left-top of the 'Print & Fax' panel.+
+11) Done. You should be ready to print.+
Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says
TCP/IP: Enabled IP address: Unknown subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
All worked well with OS 10.5.
Thanks for shedding any light.
John L.
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

After upgrade from snow leopard to lion, where is application front row?

After upgrade from snow leopard to lion, where is application front row? i realize it when to use my remote. any one knows about this matter?

OK - Fixed it.
Turns out the cure is to use the Webcal Interface to re-create the delegations. A bit tedious, but doing this presumably forces a rewrite of the file that previously cannot be accessed. Means you need to set up the delegation again for each account - but this at least is an improvement over not being able to do anything at all.
Once fixed, delegation works just fine.
Hope this helps someone else solve the issue etc.
