Problem about updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3

Hi there,
I just bought my Macbook two months ago. I encounted a problem about updating it to the latest version of MAC OS X. The system reminded me to restart, I proceed. Everythig looked just fine until a poping up window shown "Mac OS X 10.5.3 pacakage can not be validated". Dose anyone know what did that mean? How can I update my little mac?

Hi Hummer,
First, welcome to Apple discussions.
To answer your question, your computer checks all downloaded updates before installing them. It does this to make sure it's got the entire file and that the update will install correctly. The fact that validation fails on your machine probably means the file did not download correctly.
To install 10.5.3, simply go to this website, download the "10.5.3 combo update" and then run it on your Mac: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/

Problem: Flash update on Mac OS 10.411

A few days ago I was prompted to update Flash Player (youtube videos had suddenly stopped playing on the old version I had) and went ahead and did it. I go through the installation process and as far as I can tell nothing goes wrong. But I still can't watch videos online and the same message is always displayed "you need to update Flash, etc."
I have Mac OS 10.411 which I guess is 64-bit. I have Safari 4.1.3. I can't update Safari any further with the current OS. I can't download newer versions of Chrome or Firefox.
What I've done so far x 10:
-run the uninstaller
-run the installer ["Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OSX 10.4-10.5 (Intel)" on the installation page]
-checked http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
to test if any older versions are still installed on the computer. Just says "missing plug-in", so I guess not.
I see under system preferences that version 10.3.183.10 is installed, which is the newest version the site gives me.
Thanks for looking at my question. Anyone know what to do?

We both have Tiger installled otherwise known as os 10.4.11, as well I have safari 4.1.3 and flash 10.1 , I believe flash 10.3 will not work with OS 10.4.11 (its for a higher version of lion or leopard or something)
Make sure box in preferences advanced tab "show Develop menu in menu bar" is checked as I mentioned before and then do a 10.1 flash download in that order, I think I read flash 10.3 is too high for safari 4.1.3 and Flash 11 is definitely too advanced for Tiger, as well Tiger can not run Firefox or Chrome as a browser, thus the need to get a version of flash that works on your OS Safari version ..hope this [email protected],   FYI: You should google the error message that pops up in quotes along with your os version for good search results of any issue.

I have the same problem!
I also have mac osx 10.4.11(intel) and was asked to upgrade to the latest flash player...but when I did, suddenly couldn't load/watch any videos.
Tried the same things you did, to no avail (uninstalled and installed flash player 10.3 over and over, and still nothing)..it's as if i didn't install it when I did.
And because of my os version, can't avail of the archived flash players on this site
Help please!
I tried fixing my Safari preferences but still doesn't work.

IWeb Problems after updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3

"iWeb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin"
- This message comes up every time I try to click on the homepage or "welcome" section. I had a similar problem with 10.6.2 but that was quickly solved by removing the Hoefler text. I have also tried removing the p.list and iweb domain file but nothing has been successful yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

What Steps must I take and How do I go about updating My Mac OS X 10.5.8 as so I may get it to Mountain Lion. PLease HELP!!

I'm trying to update my Mac OS X version 10.5.8 to the latest version Operating System. But to do so it instructs me that I must first update to Snow Leopard 10.6 The problem is that I canot find the software as to update. Please any help would be appriciated. Please HELP!!

Make sure to ask for the 10.6.7 version as they sent me 10.6.3 which has no App Store that is needed to install Lion, or Mountain Lion. They said it is in the update but I just updated and still no App Store visible. Argh! You have to get the Snow Leopard Disk via mail but will be able to download Lion and/or Mountain lion directly from the App Store, and why you need to make sure they send the correct version if you do order the SL disk. Just an FYI!:)

Problem of Updates with mac OS 10.9

I bought the elearning suite less then 10 months ago and when I updated to Mac OS 10.9 (maverick), captivate stopped running. When will the patch be ready?

Hello Vikram,
Not really an option,
As we moved to 10.9 as a business strategy for the development of our
products.
I understand that the will be no upgrade for captivate 5, but 6 is still
announce on you site as part of the eLearning suite 6.1 (see your site:
http://www.adobe.com/ca_fr/products/elearningsuite.html) and was sold to
many just a few months ago. If you sell a product and within a year you
do not plan to support it !!!!!!! Wow.
Do you have a special plan for those who bought the version 6 within a year,
otherwise it becomes a useless software? Forcing a client to upgrade within
a year that he has bought from you, is kind of a really really bad business
practice.

Plotters their drivers and updating a mac

I am running a sign plotter off my mac mini via a USB cable. version 10.6.8 When a recent update in June came along my plotter stopped working. I have reinstalled and to no avail. Finally i simply went back to a backup before the update. Now my computer is getting buggy and I want to update. Anyone ever experience this problem?
The company that makes the plotter said it could be that the driver assigns a port and when you update it wipes those ports?
I have no idea how to fix this problem and update my mac. HELP!!!

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If you do update & it doesn't print, might try this...

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?
Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

My MacKeeper says iPhoto is out of date. When I try to update the App Store says I need IOS 10.9 or later. I have 10.7.5 and when I check for updates my Mac says the software is up to date. How do I solve this problem??

1. First step to solving the Problem: Trash MacKeeper. It's a pile of trash that does far more harm to your computer than good.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
2. What version of iPhoto do you have? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)

I just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

i just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

TS3694 Problem in update OS 5 to OS 6 after update to Itunes 10.7 and Mac OS 10.8.2

I updated the Mac OS to the 8.2 and now when I tried to update the OS 5 to the OS 6 I'm without my 2 devices the Iphone and the iPad. ITunes is asking me to restore the devices... Is anybody with the same problem?

I got to restore the IPad but the Iphone remais on the same situation:

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Since I updated my Mac with iOS 7 I continually have pages open that get pixelated, either the whole page of parts.What can I do to fix the problems?

Problem about Mac Os X 10.6.3 V.S Labview 2009

hi,labview~
i have some problem about Labview 2009.i saw the website of NI wrote the Labview 2009 is not support for Mac OSX 10.6.3,but i have already installed it (English system) in my computer successfully.
anyway,i cant open the programs which are wrote by labview 8.5(Japanese system) .My labmate who use Labview 2009(Mac OSX 10.5) can open those programs.
can anyone tell me the possible reason i cant open the programs?
Thanks a lot!
PS i have already tried Labview 8.5 and 8.6(English system),but the problem cant be solved....

Hi mofi, my name is Taiki from National Instruments Japan.
I assume that the link you referred to is the one below, but as you stated, LabVIEW 2009 is not supported in Mac OS X 10.6 so even though you were able to install it successfully, NI cannot assure that it will fully function on your Mac.
LabVIEW Support for Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.5 (Leopard)
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/70F17A30DE7B865E8625737F006377F8?OpenDocument
Since you mentioned that the VI files were able to be opened on LabVIEW 2009, Mac OS X 10.5, the actual VI files should not be the issue which leaves us with the possibility of the software environment.
You also noted that the issue could not be solved on LabVIEW 8.5 and 8.6 but was this on Mac OS X 10.6 as well?
If so, there is a good chance that this issue is due to the fact that LabVIEW is running on an supported OS and I would suggest trying opening the files on another different Mac OS X 10.5 system.
Unfortunately, currently Mac OS X 10.6 is an unsupported OS for any version of LabVIEW so I can only suggest trying on a Mac OS X 10.5.
Kind regards.
