"Make sure you have permission to write to /private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again."

Blair,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try heading to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. From here, click on the hard drive listing on the left side of the window, then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After permissions have been repaired, try updating your iBook again.

I have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply'

Check MacUpdate for compatible applications, and ensure that you go to the developer's website for the actual downloads.

The new ibook app and ibook update is designed for iPhone 5 operating system. When my iPhone4 recently updated the ibook app, it created many problems using the ibook to download and read my books. Can I get the previous ibook app back on my phone.

Check your trash can on the desktop. The old version is automatically moved to the trashcan. You should be able to move it from the trashcan back to the Apps folder within the iTunes folder. The update that was pushed out was for iBooks to work with iOS 7 not iPhone 5. iOS 7 was released today.

Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons

Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons in the left hand column, which show each page of the book. They are now all blank white icons instead of miniature images of the larger pages. Also have lost some images within the pages of text. Has anyone got a fix for this?

I've just started having this problem too. For a little while my page thumbnails were half there- only recent pages still had them. Now they're all gone.
All my images other than the ones I just added are also gone
They simply appear as grey boxes with an X and ? in the middle.
Not sure if this is related- but I recently moved my system from an external boot drive to the internal. All other apps seem to be working fine.
This is very disturbing because it would be tons of work to put all the images back.

After Software update yesterday, ibook cannot reboot & stay in blue screen.

After yesterday software update, My ibook restart and got stuck in the blue screen with the spinning spiral icon in the middle of the screen.
I try to reset the pram and PMU but in vain.
I also use CRTL-V while rebooting and found the repeating last few lines which the command prompt shown was as follow:
localhost/system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app/contents/MacOs/loginwindow s:Login Window Application Started
Anyone can assist, thanks in advance.

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

How do I update an iBook created in iBooks Author without losing old notes?

I have been creating an iBook using iBooks Author. I export it as an iBook that I can open in iBooks on my computer and on my iPad.
The challenge I am running into is that I highlight sections and make notes and want to keep those even as I add new content to the iBook. Is there a way to update an iBook on my computer and have it update the one in iBooks without losing everything I created before?
Thanks.

AFAIK, the update process that allows note/bookmark retention is currently only thru the store.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

BRFplus: Problem updating values in an internal table in a loop expression

Hi
I'm looking into the loop expression type of BRFplus and I have come across a problem updating an internal table, I'm trying to create and populate the table using a loop, here is the functionality I'm trying to achieve:
In a rule set create an internal MONTH_TBL table containing 12 rows of two columns: MONTH_NUM containing values 1 through 12 and MONTH_VAL containing an amount (initially 0,00 EUR in all 12 rows).
After initializing the table traverse through SFLIGHT table and for each row add PRICE from the table to MONTH_VAL in the row of MONTH_TBL corresponding to the month of FLDATE field in SFLIGHT.
The initialization of MONTH_TBL works as intended, as does the traversal of and retrieval of values from SFLIGHT. The problem however is the update of the internal table MONTH_TBL (defined as result data object for the function). I don't get an error, but the tables does not get updated, and I cannot seem to find out what the problem is. I would have attached an XML extract of the function + ruleset for information, but it dosen't seem like that is possible, I could e-mail it on request (for SAP employees with access to system QU5 the function is LOOP_TEST in application Z_KLAUS_TEST).
I hope that this is sufficient information to understand the issue that I'm dealing with.
best regards
Klaus Stenbæk, KMD

Hi Klaus,
The Loop expression is part of NW 7.02 which is not yet released. When you experience the problem as part of a test you should have a contact at SAP for dealing with problems/errors. Usually SAP-internal messages are used for this purpose. Please clarify with your SAP contact how the model is.

Problem updating Nokia N97 firmware over the arir ...

OK here goes,
I'm having some real problems updating the firmware on my white nokia N97
I recently bought it of the web as a 12 month contract onto t-mobile (not there website though) in th uk
After noticing some problems i googled and noticed a firmware update had been released on 1st july 2009
I tried to get the firmwae over the air (OTA) via typing in *#0000# and selecting check for updates. I get no updates available for nokia and t-mobile (unsure what the difference is?)
So i heard try using nokia software updater.
i downloaded latest version 1.6.13 and installed it on a windows vista 32-bit home premium laptop ok
i have also installed all of the stuff that came with the cd with the phone (ovistore etc )
when i plug the phone into the laptop i get four options (PC, media, usb and something else) first time it ran it installed the necessary drivers and so therefore when i now plug it it just connects as expected.
so the laptop is detecting the nokia n97 at this stage
when i then load nokia software updater click next i put the phone into general mode on full charge with a sim card in it and click next again to detect the phone is pc suite mode
after about 2 minutes it says it can detect the phone although i can go to my computer and traverse the folder view!
i can even set it off looking for the phone pluggin it in and the autoplay options of vista will kick in in the background detecting the phone (ie outisde scope of nokia software updater)
i have tried all different connections mode pc suite mode etc different profiles nothing. tried it onto different pcs with different windows version on it. tried reinstalling software updater
my software version is 10.0.012 and my product code is 0587240
interestingly when i goto the can i update on nokias website it says no i have the latest version when i supply this information. weird
im kinda in catch 22 because there is a bug with pc usb detection of the phone in version 10 but i cant update to version 11 because of this bug
its driving me nuts any help greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Cheers
kyle

just what i wanted cheers nokia
It will break your facebook as you have re-formatted the C: drive of you phone. Was you facebook installed to the E: drive by any chance?
Go to OVI Store and re-install it.
It may be work installing it from OVI Store then un-installing that one to clean off the mess you have been left with post formatt and then re-installing it fresh from OVI Store.
As I always say. Before doing a re-format always uninstall all apps/widgests before doing a hard reset or factory reset.
I also do a this and a factory reset before firmware updates to clean my phone. Should really do a hard reset/format as this would be cleaner still, but tehn I would have to do a lot more set-up afterwards.
