ITunes update downloads the full 58.4mb rather than that which has changed?

OK, as a new apple product person after purchasing the iPhone, a new Nano iPod (for the wife) and a iPod for the kids, why oh why does each rendition of the update to iTunes have to download the full set of programs including the Quicktime (which you can not seperate out of the update)?
Is this a common procedure in the Apple/Mac world? I was about to consider making the big "move" from PC to Apple/Mac because it seemed that they use more intelligence and user friendly options than Microsoft, but if this is what I am to expect maybe I should hold off on the "move"?
One more small thing: Why doesn't this forums' spell checker know what an iPod, iPhone, iTunes, iAnything is? Isn't this an Apple forum? haha
Thanks

You are right, it does this on the Windows version.
This is not the case on the Mac version. It was fast. Either it was an incremental update, or it downloaded in the background before offering to update. I ampretty sure it was incremental.
You are on your own with the spell checker.

Should I update to the newest iPhoto from Mavericks, before installing Yosemite?

I have a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 16 GB memory (1607 MHz DDR3), and a 1 TB Samsung SSD hard drive. I have Mavericks 10.9.5 on it, and iPhoto 8.1.2 (iPhoto '09). I'm about to update to Yosemite, but I've read about people having problems with iPhoto and iPhoto Library after the update. Should I update to the newest version of iPhoto before updating to Yosemite? Is there anything else I should know about installing these updates?

I'm puzzled about why there aren't more questions like mine ("No similar content found")
Two possibilities there: one is that you've phrased the question in a way different from other posters with the same issue or not very many people have the issue.
and why Apple hasn't put more info/help files out there about the havoc that can be wrought upon iPhoto libraries if app and system software updates are not done in the correct order.
I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. You can't update to iPhoto 9.6 unless you're already on 10.10. There simply is no way to do it in the 'wrong order'. And there is no evidence that the order of updating makes a whit of difference to a Library anyway. You may have read about people having problems after an update - read more. There are always people who have issues after updates - updates of any app on any OS. The reasons can vary widely - everything from pre-existing issues on the host machine, faulty download, faulty installer, minor directory and disk damage. So, I really would not read too much into it.

Photo Stream - enabled for my iPad, but I can't click on the Photo Stream option on my Mac (which has iPhoto 9) Why is that?

Welcome To Discussions John-macOwner!
Here is some additional info.
Review this page for functionality and capabilities of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some additional online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, or CPU Drop-in DVD on them.
Explanation is in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
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.
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download the Media Exchange Program Order Form Here.
Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2007.
The Tiger installation set, sold at AppleRescue, are on CDs.

Disabling the live/multi update in the z77a-gd65 bios

I see a lot of stuff saying to use the board's bios app to update the bios. BUT I see nothing about disabling the bios update in the bios utility of the mb's bios.
How to disable the auto-"update". It happened again today where turning the power on, the screen goes blank, reboots showing multi-bios updating & not to turn the power off. The problem this is the 2nd time & the bios "update" is from my 10.5 to 10.3B4; so is there a difference & is 10.3B4 really the "latest" bios version....From the reading I've seen so far, is that one needed to have the bios on a fat/fat32 drive which I don't have as a hard drive; I do have fat32 flash drives which weren't even plugged in when the bios got changed!
What happened? The bios update wasn't within windows as the boot process never got that far.

1: your computer could have downloaded last time it was on a BIOS update via live update if installed and flashe 1 chip but not the other and the board was trying to flash the 2nd with the same bios on the other chip!
2: could be you have had a corupted BIOS chip and the board was trying to flash the bios from the other chip to the defective one!
is your computer working fine now?
do you have live update on your computer? (if its working remove live update as its got a 50/50 chance of corrupting your bios if it messes it up)
ps: do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

Why since I installed Microsoft update KB2545698, the policy(size & style) of some web pages has changed?

Is there a way to roll ab roll and cut between the two as in final cut pro which has multi clip

Is there a way to AB roll as in Final Cut Pro which has multi cut

There is another workaround that enables you to see 2, 3 or 4 videos simultaneously and make decisions about where to cut from one to another. It's not the exact same thing as FCP's multiclip feature but it does work.
Download & install Piero's QuarterPIP filter. Place each of your videos on a separate track (up to 4). Apply the QuarterPIP filter to each, placing each video on a separate quadrant of the canvas. (You may have to sync their placement on the track if there is common audio among them.)
You can then play the timeline and see all 4 videos simultaneously in the Canvas. You can then place markers and make cuts & deleted unwanted portions of selected tracks as desired. The limitation is that you can't just cut from one track to another on the fly as you can in FCP - you have to actually cut & delete the portions of the video tracks that you don't want in the final video.
When you are done you can remove the QuarterPIP filters and will be left with one resulting video.

I have a Mac OS 10.9.4. After the last OS update on 11.July.2014 Flash stopped working. Why and how can I fix it?

All of a sudden my computer stopped allowing me to watch Youtube videos or anything involving Adobe Flash software. I tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling it, I've tried changing my cookies... everything that I find on different forums and I still can't get videos to play. On the Flash website it says that the latest flash model, version 14.0.0.145, works with Macs OS 10.6-10.9. Does that mean that flash is incapable of working with a Mac 10.9.4? I can't believe that the mac community stopped watching Youtube after the last update and nothing's been done. Has anyone else experienced this problem and more importantly found a way to fix it?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Should I buy Aperture in July 2014 even though it's EOLing?

I appreciate this may seem a bit like asking 'should I buy a house when the government has just announced the new freeway is going to run through the back garden', but…..
I'm not a professional, just a hobbyist with a bit iPhoto library and some Photoshop knowledge. I was planning to buy Aperture when Apple next updated it because I liked the idea of being able to do more sophisticated Photoshop-esque tweaking of levels, curves, filters etc whilst still only having one unified photo library for iPhoto and Aperture. It's important in my household to have photos accessible in iPhoto too.
But then Apple announces that instead of updating Aperture, it's ceasing development. So now I'm torn.
So should I buy Aperture now - seems like there will be one more update for Yosemite - because it will still do what I want it to do? Or should I adopt Lightroom on the grounds that at some point in the future, as with FCP 6, later versions of OS X will stop supporting old apps like Aperture and I'll be forced to switch to Lightroom or find another solution anyway.
Better to do this now than before I learn the new app and have a ton of images with changes that won't cross over.
Thanks for any advice/insight.
Andy

Have a look at Capture One Pro as well - IMO it is the most Aperture like tool out there, it doesn't have as big a feature set as Aperture, but what it does have is very good quality some of it better than Aperture. There is a free trial avaialble, and its on for half price right now.
There are a number of comparisons recommending the quality ofCapture One's raw convertor; I personally like it much better than Aperture's raw convertor (admittedly only checked with my own Panasonic raw files). I also like its gradient brush, the ability to copy masks between edits (and invert them), and the ability to assign multiple edit functions to the same mask. (I miss the ability to control levels, curves, highlight and shadow modification with a brush or mask)
After a week of evaluation I purchased a copy - I'm tired of waiting for feature upgrades, and don't like using a market trailing raw convertor on every image. I have a choice (not made yet) of doing some of my work, mostly organization and sorting, in Aperture, and RAW conversion in Capture One, or of making a clean break and doing everything from here on in Capture One.
But one thing is clear - I'll have to wait an uncertainly long time (but at least 6 months) before I get new or improved editing features or an improved RAW convertor for Aperture replacement (and then I'll be faced with an undefined cost to transition my images from Aperture to Photos), whereas companies like Capture One, DxO and Adobe can provide those improvements today, and are continuously providing more improvements to customers.
IMOthose other companies will see their revenues and R&D budget pickup as they acquire new users from the Aperture diaspora.

I am thinking of updating to the newest version for my Mac Laptop. I have the 10.6.8 should I update to the Mountain Lion OS X? If I update will I loose all my data, like documents, music, pictures?

Wondering if I should update my Mac Notebook which is a 10.6.8 versions to the newest Mountain Lion version? What are the positive and negatives about the new version? Also if I update will I loose all the date on my computer like documents, music, pictures etc..?

First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

I can't complete and update to the latest version of Firefox as a pop up window says I do not have sufficient permissons??

Provided below

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Should I upgrade to the newest MacBook or keep my 2008 that has a few issues?

I have a 2008 version of the 13" MacBook Pro. It's recently been giving me issues as in slow browsing and quick battery drain. It also freezes frequently. Is it worth buying a refurbished 2012 version? Should I go with MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air? Mainly use for surfing, music and streaming.

Yes, refurbs are just like new and carry the same warranty as new. It will also have an optical drive and upgradable RAM and HD.
The Air is a bit thinner and lighter but has none of the features listed above.
I'd go for the 2012 MBP refurb.
