Simple Question : iPod for Mac Software Updater
I cant seem to find the "iPod for Mac Software Updater" can someone provide a link?
From the FAQ : "You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
Thank you!
One link as requested at the bottom of the page you just select your operating system and press the download button: iPod Updater

My business has been using Appleworks forever. I now have a rubbish Macbook pro. I am still waiting for Mac to update their software to allow my business to use the many Appleworks files accumulated over the last 10 years. Letterheads, business cards, trademarks, brands, parts labels, box labels etc. etc.. When will this happen?
Just a Mac user
DorothyDorothy: I feel your pain!
Here is a post I just assembled for another Appleworks user:
First, read these excellent articles on Appleworks migration:
Appleworks for the modern day, a migration tip by a brody; and
Abandoning Appleworks by Roger Wilmut.
If you need to run Appleworks 6 to export some data (for example a database, which cannot be opened by any other program):
a) If your Mac will still boot into Snow Leopard, partition your hard drive (or add an external hard drive) and install Snow Leopard (and the optional Rosetta) into it and use the "dual-boot" method to boot into Snow Leopard and run Appleworks 6; or
b) Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and run Appleworks 6 concurrently with Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

my imac hasn't downloaded up to date versions of Mac OS X version 10.6, when I ask for a software update it says my software is up to date but i am running v10.5.8
v10.6 isn't an update, it's an upgrade. You must purchase v10.6 / Snow Leopard.

It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here. -
TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.
iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.
Mike:
Just had the very same problem. iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1). I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere. Didn't work. What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes. Once it restarted it was there and synching. I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
Try this. May work for you as well. -
New Mac Software update causes blue screen
Hello, I need some help...
I Updated my Macbook Pro with the reqular Mac software update (includes quicktime, itunes and a couple others) I was given the option to "shut down" or "restart"...
I clicked "shut down".
My computer then proceeded not to turn off but simply turn to a blue screen...
After some time I turned off my machine and restarted it...
It took a little longer time to start up as it usually does after a software update...
But after going through the main white screen with the apple, then moving through to the next screen that has the loading bar. that loading bar window comes up for a split second and then disappears leaving a blue screen with the cursor and then does nothing more...
I am stuck with a blue screen and a curser...
I have already tried to start up in safemode...
Any help would be much appreciatedVery astute question, for Tiger on Intel you must use the exact install disk for that Model, Gray in color for one thing.
One thing to try other than a Safe Boot...
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *** Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(
The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

I would like to connect a printer that requires OS 10.6 or newer. My MacBook is currently using OS 10.5.8. In searching for a software update, I am told no updates are needed (and am given no option for updating my OS). How can I upgrade my OS to 10.6 or newer?
You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply. -
When I try to open the iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update, but when I click on the software update it says that all the software in the computer are up to date. I still cant open the iphoto, what should I do?
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Problems waking up and connecting to internet after MAC Software updates.
My Intel Macbook laptop use to connected to the internet automatically when I turned it on the laptop or woke it up. Now after the last MAC software upgrade this week (which included iTune, iPhoto, MAC 10.4.9 and an Airport upgrade) my PC is having problems connecting to the internet.
It attempts to connect but can't. I end up playing with the settings in Airport internet connections – e.g turning Airport on and off, going to NETWORK -Other and reentering the Network name and wireless security passphrase. Most of the time I have to go into System Preferences – Network and play with these settings e.g. Changing Locations, playing with the network status and eventually, magically it connects and stays connected until the next time I wake up my laptop.
The wireless Macbook laptop is connected to a DLINK Wireless Router (DI-624), using WPA-PSK security. I have tried rebooting both the laptop and the router a number of time and even redid the setting on both the router and laptop.
Is there something else I can check/do??? Can I undo any of the MAC Software updates (thinking about the Airport one)??? I would really like to get back to connecting to the internet automatically.
Thanks.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)Yeah, the 169.254 addy means it isn't getting a DHCP reply, so it's not connected to anything at all.
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show?Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network Port Configurations.
Yes those files get recreated on reboot, (unless critical pieces of the OS are missing for it's defaults), but you don't have to trash/delete them, you can just drag them to the desktop!
But after hearing the latest I might try...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences... the whole Prefs folder there.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work. -
HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
Hello,
Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
Thanks and cheers!stewedapples wrote:

Dreamweaver CS3 After Mac Software Update
Dreamweaver CS3 has an issue with CSS background display and
other display issues after installing latest Mac software updates.
Display in browser is unaffected.
The culprit seems to be the Quicktime Version 7.6 update.
Changes to the folder located at System \ Library \ Quicktime seem
to cause an issue with Adobe products.
Solution: Do not intall Quicktime 7.6 update OR after update
replace Quicktime folder with previous version of folder from
backups. Restart computer.I'm having other similar issues, where the splash window that
launches when you first start the app just sits there for about 3-4
minutes before dreamweaver launches. See no effect with other adobe
apps. This started after a mac update and an adobe update of some
other programs. FYI... I'm using CS4 -

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
