OSX 10.8.5 Can't install any updates for any of my 3rd party software

Hi Guys
Don't know if any of you out there can help me but for some reason I am unable to install any unpdates for ANY of my third party software on my System Drive or any other drive for that matter.  I continually get the little yellow triangle on the drive icon at the "destination select" stage of any update installation.  Ive never had this problem before and it's only been happending over the last week and i haven't changed any OSX settings. Also im logged in as the Administrator and have the permissions set to read & write to all my drives.
Has anyone experienced this too?????

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    I've noticed that CDs loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.

  • Can I Install Air update for flash CS3 on a cracked Flash CS3 Copy

    hi
    I'm from jordan I tried to buy Flash CS3 from Adobe and they
    said they only sell to US and Canada,
    so I had a cracked version (got it from the internet).
    could I install the Air update for flash CS3 on it
    thanks

    1) I do not say that I'm from jordan to make you care or not,
    I just want to say why I use cracked copy because I can not buy a
    good copy from my country.
    2) I do not steal or crack software I'm a multimedia
    developer and I had to use flash cs3, and if you want to judge me,
    go and judge cracker who put cracked copies on the internet first
    (and by the way in my country that you do not care about it there
    is no cracker we use cracked copies your country do).
    3) This question was for adobe team and not for you.

  • HT6030 I can't install the update for Mail for Mavricks because it says "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"? It's my iMac hardrive with 791GB available.

"This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"? My hardrive has 791GB available.

    Hi Allan,
    I thought I did explain it, but sorry if that wasn't clear.
    I get the little pop-up alert that tells me I have a new messages (Shows the sender and an abreviated version of the message) but those actual messages sometimes don't appear in my inbox until up to an hour later.

  • Can not install this update for kb2667402 windows 7 professional. I tried various fix-it but it did not help Update KB2667402 failed with error 80004005

    I'm not sure where to turn now and am soooooooooo frustrated! I have been trying to get security update KB2667402 with error code 80004005 to install for a couple months without any success.
    So, I finally turned to microsoft tech support... Case# 1186572463
    On Fri. Oct. 26 I was on the phone with a microsoft tech for over 3 hours. The tech that took remote access of my computer said she did not know how to fix my problem and that my case would have to be escalated to a higher level and that I would
    receive a call back on Mon. Oct. 29th. However, I never got a return call.
    Yesterday - Tues. Oct. 30th I called in again and was on the phone for 4.5 hrs with a microsoft tech and he also took remote access of my computer but was not able to fix the problem. I asked to speak to someone at a higher tech level and was told to call
    back into the microsoft helpline.
    The 3rd call - Although I had been told during the prior 2 calls that I was still covered under my warrenty I was now told that I needed to pay for the support call. It took a while to get that straighteded out and to give all my information again to
    the call center but I finally worked with a 3rd tech for over 2 hrs. but had to terminate the call for a conference call I had with a client. The person I worked with said he would call me back between 7-8pmEST so he could continue helping me but I never
    got a return call.
    I have already invested over 10 hrs in the last few days regarding this issue and fear that if I call back in I will once again start over completely with no success which is why I am reaching out here. Is there anyone that has the knowledge of how to fix
    the problem?

    I've been having the same problem and today did some searching and found something that worked.  Check that the download hasn't already been installed - look in the Installed Updates listing for an entry.  If it exists there, uninstall it, and
    then force a Check For Updates and retry the install. This worked for me and I hope it helps.
    Good day, Chuck.

    You need to update your os to 10.6.8, repair permissions after the installation and restart your computer when done.  Then you should be able to install all the other updates from Software Update.  If you have a lot which I imagine you do, install 2 at a time.  After all the installations are done repair permissions and restart your computer.

  • OSX.8.2 won't allow me to update a pre-existing app (3rd party). What should I do?

    For several years I have been using Audacity to edit my homemade mp3 files. I'm only using it to trim lengthy dead space before and after the track.  There's a more recent version of Audacity which I downloaded today BUT my iMac's Mountain Lion won't permit me to launch it, as it didn't come from the App Store.
    Q1:  How can I get this app to launch? If not possible then (Q2) what freeware is available that serves the same function AND that my iMac will permit me to launch?

    An easier way is to control-click (or right-click) on the application and choose Open. You'll be shown a dialog box that the application is unverified and asking if you want to open it. If you're certain that the app is what it purports to be, click "OK" and the app will open without issue from then on.

  • Can I install Driver updates?

    Ok, i have installed windows xp on my imac for over 7 months now still working fine and a few days ago i installed a program called drivermax and found a few updates for my current drivers, my question is:
    Can i install driver updates for my XP?
    i just don't want it to cause any problems BTW, is it possible for me to get a new intel chip and work it on my IMac?

    Hi ? and welcome to Discussions,
    my personal approach with Driver Updates in Windows is 'never change a running system' and/or 'if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it'.
    So unless I have any kind of trouble with my Windows I don't update Drivers.
    BTW: I am still running the BootCamp Beta 1.1.4 Drivers
    If you want to update drivers, you should consider making a backup of your BootCamp Windows before with WinClone http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/ or at minimum set a 'System Restore Point' to which you can revert in case something goes wrong.
    Nontheless you should stick with the Driver Updates Apple has provided.
    BootCamp 2.0 Drivers are on the Leopard DVD and BootCamp 2.1 Drivers can be downloaded from Apple but will only install if you have installed the 2.0 drivers .
    You can't 'upgrade' the Intel processor without at least losing your warranty.
    Even then this is definitely a very difficult task and most likely not worth the time and money you have to invest.
    Regards
    Stefan

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

  • I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.
