Snow Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 will not install

I have tried 3 times to install the new snow leopard graphics 1.0 each time it says an "error" has occurred. i even tried downloading it from macupdate.com and installing it that way. But either way it says it cannot expand files.
Help Please!

my apologies. i put in the snow leopard disk and it began with the install. (assuming pushing install also constitutes a re-install/repair) after 30 minutes or so. it said the install would continue after a restart. It then boot from the disk. The problem was that when is asked which disk to install on Macintosh HD or my Bootcamp partition and i said Macintosh HD it would inform me after 5 seconds that the the contents could not be modified and that snow leopard would not be installed.
And if you mean repair disk as in run disk utility from the disk, for some reason i could only verify disk, the repair option was grayed out.

  • Snow Leopard Graphics Update refuses to Install

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4
    And the Snow Leopard Graphics Update won't install, and reports:
    "Snow Leopard Graphics Update can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.6.4."
    So far I've tried...rebooting and disk verify, and would welcome any other suggestions.
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    the Snow Leopard Graphics Update was released before your 2010 Mac Pro was released so chance are very good that the Graphics Update is already incorporated in the Snow Leopard version you have on the Mac Pro.
    Plus the 2010 Mac Pros are not mentioned in the "Products Affected" list of the Graphics Update http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4286
    So, in short you don't need this update.
    Regards

  • Snow Leopard Graphics Update question...

    How do you know if you have the Snow Leopard Graphics Update is installed on your Mac? Can one check in system profiler? Is that I went from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 via software update, and then when I ran Software Update in 10.6.4, it only showed the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Update rather than the Snow Leopard Graphics Update and the security update as supposed to, I was hoping that when I installed the OSX 10.6.5 update it also instlled the Snow Leopard Graphics update and all the Security Updates issued in 10.6.4 run.
    Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

    I was hoping that when I installed the OSX 10.6.5 update it also instlled the Snow Leopard Graphics update and all the Security Updates issued in 10.6.4 run.
    It did.

  • MetaX is suddenly Failing after Snow Leopard Graphics Update?

    Is anyone else experiencing any problems with MetaX (http://www.kerstetter.net/index.php/projects/software/metax) causing movies in iTunes to no longer play? I have been using that software extensively previously but since installing the last few updates (Snow Leopard Graphics Update?) everytime I use MetaX to set the tags on my video files it causes them to display a black screen with no audio.

    Thanks amop. I was having the same problem intermitently and this worked a treat.
    Cheers....

  • MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

    Hi
    The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
    It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
    I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
    I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
    I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
    Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

  • My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • Macbook Pro SMC update 1.3 will not install

    Greetings,
    I am having problems getting the latest SMC update to install on my 15" Macbook pro. My built in drive has a boot camp partition, so I understand if the update won't install using that. But When booting off freshly GUID partitioned and HFS+(journaled) formatted Firewire 400 drive (Leopard installed and updated to 10.5.7) SMC 1.3 update will not install and gives same error "Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme." Huh?
    I tried the update pushed down by software update, and a manual download.
    Current SMC version showing in system profiler as 1.16f10
    Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?

    "...hit the hardware start button, get gong, machine starts to boot, something briefly flashes on the screen"
    Hi Bob, you have to hold down the start button(5-10secs) until you hear a long tone. Then let go and everything is ok.
    You'll also see the progress bar install the update, that is what the brief flash was but because the button wasn't held for a few seconds, it didn't take.

  • Update for keynote will not install...how to remove update or ignore?

    How can I ignore an update for Keynote that will not install? I also have an update for my printer that I have installed 4 times but it still shows as needing to be installed?

    Try hiding the Keynote app in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see it. Then try to redownload it from your Purchases list. You should get the most recent version available.

  • I tried upgrading to MountaIN lION HOWEVER i WASNT ABLE TO Install.  I then tried reinstallling Snow leopard but once again it will not let me install stating there are errors on the disc.  I have run disc repair on disc utility but it wont allow me

    I was told to reinstall Snow leopard which I did .  More troubles! It then came up cannot iinstall as there are errors.  Tried going into disc utilities and repair but once again it stated iin red I cannot proceed.  can anyone help me here.  Before this was happening my system was slowing right down with the beach ball making an apearance after tapping the mouse or typing text.

    So you are trying to reinstall Snow Leopard?
    In order to do that, you need to erase your hard drive - you cannot go back to an earlier system without erasing. Make sure you back up your files first. Then insert the Snow Leopard install disk, and restart while holding down the C key. If that does not work, insert the install disk, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and highlight the install disk > click on restart.
    Once you are booted into the install disk, go past the language selection and then to Utilities in the menu bar. Use Disk Utility to repair the drive (just in case), erase it and then install. After that, eject the disk and update to the latest 10.6.8.

  • Problems with Snow Leopard Graphics Update

    I downloaded the new graphics update for Snow Leopard, but when I go to install it it says I need at least a version 10.6.4 OS to use it. I double checked my OS, and that is exactly what I have. What's the problem?

    Well I found out what was going on in another thread, apparently my computer already has it incorporated in it, just Steam doesn't recognize that.

  • After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

    Hello,
    My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

  • Problems After Snow Leopard Graphics Update 1.0

    Hi Mac Users,
    I recognised some problems with graphic on Mc OS X 10.6.4 after software update SL Graphics Update 1.0 for example:
    - expose extra blue square for window of the application,
    - iPhoto photo preview frame became transparent grey and it comes above not only iPhoto windows but all behind,
    - problems with Safari
    - problems with expose with all window of one application
    - others.
    To fix it go please to website appletoolbox.com (topic as subject of this thread) or simple search for it by the subject of this thread in web search engine like Google for example.
    Simply try:
    Reset SMS - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Also instructions and link on mention website.
    or
    Safe Boot of Mac OS X - press and hold Shift button after turning on Mac.
    Good luck and hopefully Apple will not make more extra problematic updates for us Users
    PS. I check that there is no problem on MacBook Pro 2008 edition with this update.
    MacJU

    mine isnt going nuts but the display wont come back on after waking from sleep (each time and has been replicable since update installed). so i turned it off from sleeping (the computer) but the display sleeps and that also wont come back on when moving the mouse or pressing any keys. only way to get screen back up is performing a cold boot which kinda *****.
    ive tried clearing pram but that didnt help. im not sure whats in the graphics update but the next time i reinstall os, i might just skip this update because its causing me more issues than it supposedly solves (im not a big gamer anyway)
    this occurs on a mbp 7,1 (13" early 2010). i have not seen or heard it happen on a mbp 5,4 nor have i tried it on my mbp 6,2 (15" early 2010), but even then the screen on my mbp 6,2 has been going nuts before the update (im guessing a faulty card?) but i use my mbp 7,1 for main development work.
    i hope apple solves this issue soon

  • Just installed Lion on 2009 MacBook Pro moved from Snow Leopard - img. copies of movies will not play on DVD player

    I have a MacBook Pro 2009.   In order to get iCloud I have moved to Lion.   Mountain Lion will slow machine too much.  I now find that DVD player will not play the Disc Image  .img  movie files.  When I open DVD player and click File and Open DVD Media, the Disc Image files are greyed out.  The .dvdproj files are not greyed but if I click on them I get a message that "the media type is not supported".   I could play the movies without any problem before I switched to Lion.  The switch was done at the Apple store by an Apple Technician.    Any idea what is happening?

    Download and install VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and get rid of DivX.

  • BBC iplayer says Adobe Air needs updating: Adobe Air will not install, but says I have a later version already on my PC!

    Use Firefox. Have BBC iPlayer which will not load, saying I need a newer version of Adobe Air: when trying to instal Adobe Air, get message saying I already have a more recent version. It worked when I was using IE, but not since changing to Firefox.

    Hi there,
    stumbled on this conversation after having problems myself.
    After lots of trial and error, I was finally able to install iPlayer on my MacBook Pro.
    Firstly remove Adobe Air (Applications, Utilities, Adobe Air Uninstaller).
    Reboot (not sure if it is needed but it is what I did).
    Download Adobe Air 2.5 from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
    Then retry installing iPlayer from the BBC webpage. I ignored the prompt from Adobe Air to upgrade to the latest version (3.1).

  • Update to iTunes will NOT install and all subsequent attempts to reinstall fail.

    I was informed of an update to iTunes tonight so I tried to install it. It would not install. "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." A second error message pop up stating "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (WIndows error 126)"
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes 3 times. After each time I've cleared cache and temporary internet files and re-booted. I've used Firefox, IE 10 and Google Chrome. Nothing works.
    I need this fixed. It was working great until Apple decided to put out an update that screwed everything up.

    Go it done. The key appears to have been UTTERLY removing EVERYTHING - even going so far as to delete every iTune folder under Users/Local, LocalLow, and Roaming, and Programs Files, and clearing out all Temp files.
    Thanks!
