OS 10.2.0 Update after reinstall: "selector not recognized"

I received an iMac G3 400MHz running OS 10.2.x (I don't remember which exactly, but probably 10.2.8), but noticed that certain things were missing in Utilities, like Terminal, System Profiler, Disk Utility, etc. Ran the Software Update, which applied, as I remember, a security update. But the Utilities things were still missing, so I reinstalled the OS using an original OS 10.2 (Jaguar) installation disk set. That did an "Archive and Install", so the old OS is in "Previous System".
But now I can't apply any of the Combo Updates to 10.2: I've downloaded and tried 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.4, 10.2.6, and 10.2.8. All fail, with a message in the Console which says:
Mac OS X Version 10.2 (Build 6C115)
Installer[493] * +[IFGlobals isRunningOSInstall]: selector not recognized
I notice that the usual suggestion is to go back to an earlier update, but, as I said, I've tried them all.
I've also run the disk utility and repaired permissions. Also tried running this from another admin
account.
Can anyone suggest something?
Thanks,
Frank Huddleston

Frank,
Also check to see if, the Firmware Update was ever upgraded.
This is a requirement, before OS X can be successfully installed.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
If it was updated, in System Profiler, the Boot ROM Version should be 4.1.9
If it was never installed, you can call Apple Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the serial number and specifications of the iMac, and for a fee, order a set of the original system discs.
If you do an Erase & Install of the original OS, you can then update the Firmware.

HT1222 Why does my IOS 7 update after downloading say" not available at this time try again later" any ideas

Why does my IOS7 update after downloading say " not available at this time try again later" any ideas?

With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.
All anyone can really recommend is to keep trying or wait until a bit later, after the hubub has died down.

NSTabView - selector not recognized using selectLastTabViewItem and friends

Hi, I'm new to Xcode, Cocoa, and Objective-C (not new to development though). I am using Xcode 2.4.1 on OS X 10.4.11.
I've gotten on pretty well doing general stuff with most of the widgets, but I'm hung up trying to do something (commonplace) with tabs. I have a NSTabView with 3 tabs, and want to force one of them to become the active tab.
After a couple hours of screwing with this, I have created a new Xcode project just to test selectLastTabViewItem on a NSTabView. This is exactly what I do:
1) In Xcode, create new Cocoa application project.
2) Add class Controller there
3) Open the MainMenu.nib
4) In IB, drop the Controller.h file so it appears with the classes.
5) Instantiate a Controller class
6) Drop a NSTabView in the Window
7) Create an outlet of NSTabView type for Controller
8) Click and drag from Controller instantiated object to the NSTabView object in the GUI - connect it as an outlet. I've verified this has added properly, and in the list of outlets it picks up the "type" of NSTabView i.e. Under Controller's Connects, I see NSTabView (Tab, View)
9) Create code for Controller, Overwrite code in Xcode with this. (No more work done in IB)
10) Back in Xcode, edit the source and make Controller.m read as follows:
#import "Controller.h"
@implementation Controller
// Simplest case is to have this code run when awakeFromNib happens
// I've also tried it tied to a button click action
- (void)awakeFromNib
[tabView selectLastTabViewItem]; // select the Tab View Item called 'View'...
// I've used the other similar methods, such as the one that selects tab view based on
// identifier. I get the same error with all of them, this one seems easiest to debug
// since there's the least involved
@end
What I get is:
[Session started at 2009-08-02 16:00:12 -0400.]
2009-08-02 16:00:12.955 NSTabViewTest[10808] * -[NSTabView selectLastTabViewItem]: selector not recognized [self = 0x3515f0]
2009-08-02 16:00:12.956 NSTabViewTest[10808] An uncaught exception was raised

I've looked up code online and I don't seem to be doing anything different than examples, although I don't know what their nib's look like.. any help would be wonderful. Thanks!

Hi Robert, and welcome to the Dev Forums!
selectLastTabViewItem: takes one arg which passes the sender's address to the tabView.
- (void)awakeFromNib { // this line starts with a -, but apple forum prevents it
NSLog(@"Controller awakeFromNib");
[tabView selectLastTabViewItem:self]; // select the Tab View Item called 'View'...
I think your compiler should have given you a warning: 'NSTabView' may not respond to '-selectLastTabViewItem'. These are easy to miss if you don't have your Build Results window open, since the warning bubble may not show up in the source editor until that window is reselected.
Btw, there's a yellow alert notice in the 1st slot of the forum topics page with code formatting instructions in the subject line (and a link to lots of other handy formatting tricks).

EncodeWithCoder: selector not recognized

Hi all,
I want a class to conform to NSCoding for keyed archiving.
I implemented both methods
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder;
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder;
compiles without warning,
but on runtime the programm crashes with:
++2008-09-23 22:25:42.712 NSCodingTest[20876] * -[TestClass encodeWithCoder:]: selector not recognized [self = 0x34b9c0]+
++2008-09-23 22:25:42.730 NSCodingTest[20876] * -[TestClass encodeWithCoder:]: selector not recognized [self = 0x34b9c0]+
Anyone out there, who had the same problem or knows, what I am missing?
Here are the sample files:
TestClass.h:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface TestClass : NSObject <NSCoding> {
float testVar;
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder;
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder;
@end
testClass.m:
#import "TestClass.h"
@implementation TestClass
- (id) init {
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
testVar = 0.5;
return self;
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder {
if ([[super class] conformsToProtocol:@protocol(NSCoding)])
[super encodeWithCoder:encoder];
[encoder encodeFloat:testVar forKey:@"testVar"];
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
testVar = [decoder decodeFloatForKey:@"testVar"];
return self;
@end

Acrobat 7.0: how to download critical updates after reinstall?

We have a legal version of Acrobat 7, version 7.0.0, bought and downloaded via the Adobe website.
I still do have the original installer and did use it to reinstall Acrobat after a software crash. But there have been a few critical security updates in the past, which updated Acrobat to version 7.0.11 or 7.11 or so (I don't remember exactly). These updates were handled automatically from within Acrobat at that time via its auto-updater. However, today that auto-updater does not find these updates anymore. Nor are they available from my account at the download-section on the Adobe website (where the original installer still is available, but that one I already have).
So the question is: where do I find these critical security updates to Acrobat 7.0.0? And how do I download and save them locally for future reinstallations?
Upgrading to Acrobat 10 (or whatever) is no option, since this computer is too old and too slow. So I want to stay with Acrobat 7.x.x, but I would like to update it to its last stable state.
Thanks.
Geert

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
What would be the best way to install these updates, in order to get all corrections? Take the last cumulative update (7.1.0 if I am correct? Or is it 7.05, this is not totally clear), and then install all remaining incrementals one by one? Should I restart the computer after each update, or just do them in one big shot?
By the way, I am using Windows indeed on this computer (Windows 2000, English).
Thanks a lot,
Geert

Can't install update after reinstalling photoshop CS2

I manually removed PS CS2 because of a problem with the 9.0.2 update. I reinstalled PS CS2(9.0). Then tried to update to 9.0.1 but the auto update tells me no available updates.
Did i miss something when removing PS CS2 thats makeing it think it is still 9.0.2?

First of all, if you installed the Adobe TWAIN plugin by moving it, put it back. (You can get this error if you move it instead of copying it to install it.) Also, if you have done anything to the auto analyzer, like renaming it, name it back to what it was before. Then restart your mac and try again.

Updates after reinstalling OSX

Hello. I brought my MBA 13" mid 2011 to an apple store to change the cracked lcd. They reinstalled me the OSX Mountain Lion verision 10.8 for another problem, correlated to my user account. When I was home, i tried to update my mac via Mac App store, but it don't find any kind of that. I update it manually via the download section of apple.com at the version 10.8.2, but it still don't find any other updates, like printer drivers.
What can i do to fix it, without bring it an other time to an apple store?
Thank you
Giorgio

If you now have Mountain Lion 10.8.2, which INCLUDES all current updates and drivers available at this time, installed then you are done updating.
Hope this helps

Mc OS X 10.6.8 won't update after reinstall following HD replacement

My mid 2010 imac osx 10.6.8 won't update to match my apps which are all 10.7+ from backup. Just had my 1TB seagate HD replaced and had to reboot off my osx install disk which is 10.6.4. Performed a series of software updates but it now wont go beyond 10.6.8. Now none of my core apps work and i have no way to update. Ideas?

From 10.6.8 onwards now you downlaod updates from the App store. In this case you need to download 10.7 or 10.8. You can no longer download 10.7 from the app store as its no longer availiable, only 10.8 is.
So Im guessing you purchased 10.7 at some point form the app store. Now if 10.7 was still available you could just search for it on the app store and download it again for free. But its not! If you can you need to purchase 10.8 from the app store and downlaod it. From there these apps should work again. If however you can't download 10.8 from the app store as you Mac is out of date you will need to take it in to an Apple store.

After 10.8.3 update, Boot Camp Assistant not recognizing my 64-bit Windows 8 disc

Hello all,
Yesterday I got back from spring break and found out there was a new update to ML (10.8.3). After reading a bit, I found out that the new update supported Windows 8 via Bootcamp, so I uninstalled the old Windows 8 I ages ago via Boot Camp Assistant, and updated my OS to 10.8.3. Then, after attempting to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp Assistant, now it rejects my legit copy of Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, with a message saying, "Need 64-bit Windows 8"
A few months after Windows 8 came out, I read up an online guide to install Windows 8 without Apple's official support and it WORKED just fine. I just wanted to reinstall using the official support this time, and see what I get. Haha.
Please help me if you have a solution to this. (No way buying another copy of Windows 8)
Thanks.

Had this problem too, found a solution.
1) Download the 64bit Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx)
2) Go through the Boot Camp process, selecting the downloaded .iso as your image.
3) As soon as your computer restarts, hold the option key. Boot back into OSX.
4) Go through the boot camp process again, BUT only ticking the first two options (in other words, don't touch the partition) selecting your original Windows 8 copy as your image.
5) Reboot while pressing the option key, select the (in my case) USB.
6) Proceed as normal - worked for me.

Update to Bridge CS6 not recognized as applicable

Hello friends,
I am using Windows 7 professional, 64 bit.
I am running Indesign CS6, which appears to work fine... however I'm still not able to open Bridge.
I found (and still find) Bridge CS2 to be very useful and would like to be able to use the updated version.
I have located the following update;
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.1.1 Update (64-bit)
which I have downloaded and opened with 7zip. I have attempted to apply this patch, but get the following screen;
I appreciate the fact that an attempt has been made to patch Bridge CS6, but this one doesn't appear to work...should I just wait for another patch to come from Adobe, or are there some installation subtleties I've missed perhaps?
I'm offering this comment mostly as feedback in case anyone else has a similar problem and can learn from it, but if there are options open to me that anyone more experienced is aware of I would be grateful to hear.
Many thanks,
lambert

I have connected my 3rd gen 32 gb touch to itunes to update to ios5, itunes not recognizing i don't have ios5 and not allowing the update. How do I fix this?

I have connected my 3rd generation 32 gb touch to itunes to update to ios 5, doesn't look like it is recognizing the need to update. Still says 4.2.1. software. Help!!!

See: These devices are able to upgrade to iOS 5 -
Here > http://iosnova.com/tag/what-devices-can-upgrade-to-ios-5/
Which is why you can't update to iOS 5.
If your iPod was able to upgrade when you click Check for Upgrade under the Summary tab, you would see a dialog box asking if you want to upgade to iOS 5.
