Ran Software Updates - Computer not performing the same

At the suggestion of someone at the Genius Bar, I recently ran and installed the software updates, including OS 10.4.9
I've been working on a movie for months which was playing very smoothly until I installed these updates, now it's skipping and jumping, making it impossible to work on it. I've changed the playback to Standard. I've tried choosing a few frames at a time and "sharing" them in iDVD to view them but even in iDVD they're jumpy and skipping. I close all other programs. I ran "repair disk permissions". I ran out of ideas. Nothing seems to work.
Last night I installed a 1G memory card hoping this would solve the problem - nothing.
Someone mentioned that my computer may not be able to support 10.4.9 because I don't have enough memory (the guy at the Genius Bar told me 1G is the max I can add).
Any suggestions? Can I uninstall the updates and get back to where I was? Help!
Thanks - Z

whoops - seems I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry about that - I'll repost. Thanks - Z

HT4623 my software update is not on the phone

my software updat is not there n my phone needs updating

Hi nikki,
What IOS is running on your iPhone? Software upates on the phone are only there if you have IOS 5.0 or higher installed. To do updates with a lower IOS, you must hook it up to a computer and update through iTunes.
Cheers,

Nokia Software updater is not recogonizing the new...

I can see so mant thread and discussion about the new firmware for nokia n95 8GB(RM-320), according to that the new firmware version is v35, but when i use my S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone).
Can any one help me, is this update is not yet release to India or any issues with updater???
Thanks in advance.

Firmware are given to public according to the location of each ones, i mean according to the country. Saying so if you are in Canada you might have a different firmware version with someone located in Hong Kong. Also your phone have a number inside that help the SW Updater undertake your location and that number inside your phone will not allow you to have another location updates unless you change that code, note that changing that code can also change the displayed languages on your phone all depending on which country code you put inside your phone, so if your S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone) it mean that the latest software update for your phone according to the code inside your phone is still version V31; and the version 35 belong to some other countries. Now check again to find out what country can download the version 35, and if you satisfy with the languages provided by that firmware 35 find the nokia country code for your nokia and input it in your phone and finally run your software updater again. Press the star icon on the left if my post help you.

Firmware updates are device specific. You have to wait till Nokia Offers you a new firmware with Nokia Software Updater.

Ran software update computer runs very slowly

Repaired permission on Mac Mini running 10.5.8 and updated software. On restart the computer runs painfully slow now. Repaired permissions again and restarted again. Same results. I had forgotten the password and had to change the admin password by starting up from a 10.6 software update DVD. This machine runs Windows XP primarily and it is slow on both platforms.

Hello, see how many of these you can answer...

Can I share my library from a computer not on the same network?

Hey!
My family and I have always had our music on iTunes the family Mac computer. I'm moving and just got my first macbook (woo!). Is it possible to share or move the iTunes library from the family Mac onto my computer which will not be on the same network?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share music over different networks with homesharing. Put the content on an external drive or USB stick and import it to the other computer.

Software Update does not detect the upgrade of Boot Camp to 3.1 for Windows

I want to install Windows 7 HP 64 bit. I invoked Software Update so Boot Camp Assistant could be upgraded to ver. 3.1 that has Win 7 support. It said my system is up to date. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2, but I still have BC 3.06, not the new 3.1.
When I went to Apple support site to download the new version in 64 bit, the download turned out to be a Windows executable file. I cannot install that in the MacOS. How do I get the necessary upgrade to 3.1 so I can use Boot Camp to dual boot. I have to install XP first so I can use my Windows 7 upgrade DVD.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply, but I am still confused about two things. First, how do I obtain the updated Boot Camp Assistant so I have the 3.1 compatibility for Windows 7? Second, I read in the Boot Camp guide that unless I have an earlier version of Windows already dual booting with OSX, that I should only install Win7 using the full retail DVD rather than the upgrade. I have an unused copy of XP and I already have the upgrade Win7 package, so I thought I would do a quick basic install of XP and then do a custom install of Win7.
Will Boot Camp react badly if I try to use the upgrade Win7 as you suggested, doing a custom install without entering the product key and then immediately reinstalling the upgrade over itself a second time?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help on this. I am very new to the Mac world.

HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

Snow Leopard DVD:
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Specifications;
Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
Lion 10.7.x;
Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course. You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.

Software update asks for restart before installing the updates. When restarted password is asked. After the restart the software updates have not been installed. how come?

This article
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57400956-263/apple-issues-software-installe r-update/
explains what might be going on.
I noted that one of the updates in the list for my wife's iMac was an update to Software Update itself. Probably to fix this very problem. But it wasn't being applied due to Software Update itself not working.
I considered two solutions.
(1) Uncheck all the updates except that one update to Software Update. Then after fixing Software Update, apply all the other updates remaining. I did NOT try this approach.
(2) Download and install the "combo update" for 10.6 -- from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
I decided to try solution #2. It's a large download, 1 GB, but the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The "combo" update checks and reapplies every update since the beginning of 10.6, so if something is missing or amiss, it gets filled in. It's done manually, by downloading the update, opening the .dmg file, and running the update. When I did this, it fixed the Software Update issue because I then reran Software Update and additional, new updates were found and they all installed fine. Software Update was working as it should. I then ran it a third time and some additional ones were found, also then successfully applied. Finally, no new updates were found by Software Update, which mean everything is up to date.
I can't be sure if your issue is the same as mine (the bug in the CNET article above) but I'm guessing that the combo update will resolve your issue.

I have 15" 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. I need to activate Bootcamp and install Windows 7. I ran software update. Does this update update Bootcamp? Or do I need to comb thru the 4 pages of updates and somehow determine which ones I need?

My goal is to activate Boot Camp and the install Windows 7 in 64 bit mode on my 15" MacBook Pro (mid 2010 model)
I have several questions:
1. I ran software update and am up to date. Does this mean that my yet to be activated Boot Camp ap is also up to date?
There are 4 confusing pages of updates listed at Apples website for Boot Camp. I am having a hard time understanding what I need and don't need. For example, what version of Boot Camp do I have? I have Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4. Does this mean I have Boot Camp ver 3?
2. The printed Boot Camp instructions do not explain the process of using downloaded Windows drivers; the instuctions only refer to drivers on the original disks. I have the original install disks from around mid 2010 but I am sure many things have been updated by now. Wouldn't the best idea be to download and install? But the instructions only cover using the original disks. How do I use downloaded drivers?

You have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you are going to use Boot Camp 3 on Windows. After installing Windows 7 on your MacBook, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and install the Boot Camp drivers from here. Then, as the Boot Camp drivers that your Snow Leopard disc contain are outdated, open Apple Software Update on Windows to install the most recent Boot Camp drivers.

On Snow Leopard, you can only download the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2010 MacBook Air. On Lion and Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers for all the computers. If you try to download the Boot Camp drivers on Snow Leopard with your computer, you will get a message telling that there aren't any drivers to download for your MacBook Pro
