[Solved] can't enter package management in latest version of Emacs

When I try to do something like 'package-install' or 'list-packages' in the latest version of Emacs, it refuses, complaining:
Lisp error: (void-function package-desc-vers)
package-desc-vers([(0 0 1) nil "Matrix themed Zone mode" tar])

Do you have an older version of melpa in your load-path (e.g. .emacs.d/elpa/melpa-x.x) over-riding the built-in package management in later versions of emacs?
If so, delete the melpa-x.x directory and restart emacs.

When starting imovie I get an error missing quicktime components. To solve the problem I have upgraded to latest version but it didn't help. I want to either solve this problem or get a refund for the useless upgrade.

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
iMovie does not, AFAIK, use QT 10.

Can I get help installing the latest version of iTunes?

Can I get help installing the latest version/update of iTunes on my PC?

Assuming the install has failed as it has for several others...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I have Final Cut Studio 2 which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio?

I have Final Cut Studio 2, which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio, or would I need to buy the latest version?
Thanks, Caoim

As an alternative, you could purchase FCP-X, which isn't an upgrade; it's a completely new application. To quote Apple; "It's revolutionary!" To quote me; "It blows!"
BTW, Final Cut Studio 2009 was also known as FCS 3. You might be able to find an upgrade version on ebay or craigslist.

HT1926 Can't install or uninstall the latest version of iTunes

Everytime I go to install the latest version of iTunes I get through most of it, then a window comes up that says "Windows Installer" - "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." - "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below."
In the drop down dox below the previously stated there are two options:
1) C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\
2) C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.5.0.142\
Neither of them work and I get the message: "The path 'C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.5.0.142\iTunes64.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes."
There is an option to Browse for the porgram but I can never find what it needs. Even when I attempt to uninstall iTunes I receive the same messages as above. I have a Windows 7 PC. I have looked through all the possible Troubleshoots on the Apple website and on the iTunes site and none of them helped. My iTunes works perfectly fine and does everything it is supposed to except when I attempt to install iTunes. I have tried every way possible and still nothing works.
Below are the windows that appear when I attempt to install iTunes. Any help would be appreaciated, I just really want to get the latest version of iTunes on my computer, it has been a while since I have.

Superb detail, thank you.

Can't open numbers files in latest version

I'm running the latest version of numbers in Mavericks and iOs7. I was able to open a file yesterday, but now get this message "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." I've double checked and all the versions are the latest. - it's a numbers file now, so I can't open it in excel either.

Hi marion0,
A lot of people don't realize that after they download Numbers 3.0 the old Numbers 2.3 is still on their machine. Numbers 3.0 is in the Applications folder and Numbers 2.3 is in a subfolder within Applications called iWork '09 or similar. The icons are similar and it is very easy to get confused. Here the old version is on top, the new version on the bottom. (They can run at the same time.)
If you had an icon on your dock before downloading Numbers 3.0 then it's probably still pointing to the old version. So if you like clicking on the dock to open an application and then open documents from within the application you need to drag the icon for the new Numbers 3.0 to the dock. Otherwise, you can always right-click on a document in Finder as Badunit suggests and choose which Numbers version you want via Open With.

The problem is indicated by this line:
The certificate of the installed app fails to match either the signature or migration signature of the AIR file
Based on the error message above, it would appear the app's published since the latest version with a different/newer signature and did not migrate the older signature when creating the install. Adobe AIR will complain as above when that happens.
The easiest solution I believe is to uninstall the current version of the application and then install this new version. If there is no previous installation found then I would see if memecrusher can be found in the Programs folder where you can manually remove it from your machine first. I'm not familiar with the application so have no idea if uninstalling will cause you to lose data from the application. You may want to check that first.

I'm having trouble trying to upgrade to verison 4.0. How can I revert back to the latest version of Firefox 3.6?

I deleted the latest version of Firefox 3.6 in order to try to download Firefox version 4.0. The download of version 4.0 was unsuccessful, probably because I have an old iBook G4 (10.4.11). How can I reinstall/download the most recent version of Firefox 3.6?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Can't share final cut pro latest version across my macs.

I have purchased, for quite a bit of money, the latest Final Cut Pro for my macbook pro - 10.5.6, I think it is , - I really find all these decimal numbers meaningless, confusing and difficult to remember.
Still, I want to share the purchased fcp app so I can use it also on my macbook air.
Trouble is, my macbook pro runs on snowleopard, and the macbook air, which I bought more recently runs on mountain lion,.. no, just Lion....
This latest version of FCP is not supported by Lion (10.7.4), so my macbook air can't download it.
The solution to this problem may seem obvious to many, but I can't see it. And the problem is just nuts!
Any clues as to how to get my - later version - macbook air to work with the latest version of Final Cut Pro would be much appreciated. Taa

Lousy Fool
Sigh, the wink at the bottom really doesn't help you to get away with the patronism in your answer you know.
I know what OSX systems each of my macs run - 10.6.8 for the mcp and 10.7.4 for the mbair.
I don't want to "stress software update in the same apple menu" and move from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, because its my understanding from researching reviews on this forum, and from my own experience that updating the operating systems on macs can cause hassle. If I am wrong in this then thats my learning.
Finally, with regards to my expectations, it was a trainer at an applestore , fully aware that I was using these two operating systems, who suggested I upgrade my final cut pro. My expectations were that he knew what fcps compatibilities were.
Finally, what kind of company releases an upgrage system is compatible with an earlier version of its own software (10.6.8), but not with a later one (10.7.4). I do have expectations of apple being better than this.
This is only the second time I've come onto an apple forum to ask a genuine question that foxes me, and the second time I've received the kind of reply that its intended to put one down. Be aware of how your answers come across please.
