The latest version of sync demands to be upgraded to the latest version before it will function.

It appears that Sync v1.5.1 (the VERY LATEST VERSION) demands to be upgraded to a newer version before it will function for me. This is with a clean install of Firefox 3.6.12 on Win7. I have even fully deleted the profile several times just to confirm that this problem is not profile-related. I have almost 10 copies of Firefox I need to synchronize across various workstations, servers and USB devices, so this is not a trivial issue for me. It is so severe that I am actually moving back to XMarks in order to avoid this chicken-vs-egg issue.
Moving to a beta/alpha of sync (1.6) does not fix the issue, as it then claims that the pin is wrong. When the field for the pin comes up, it is clearly something else other than what I initially inputted under 1.5.1.
Seriously tho, nothing says clusterfck more clearly than the latest version of a product demanding to be upgraded to the latest version in order to function.

Safari is part of OS X and isn't available as a separate download. How did you get a newer version than the one that comes with Lion?

  • I have a six year oldG4 laptop which will not support the latest free Adobe flashdrive.  Can I upgrade to the latest OS X?

    No. It may possibly run leopard OS 10.5 but that would be as far as you can take a PPC Mac.
    As regards Flash Player:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Help!: The iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make

    Help!
    I synced my iphone4 to a window PC before i get a mac recently.
    So, when i try to sync my iphone 4 to mac.
    I was told that "the iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes".
    1. i clicked store> authorize this computer. =failed.
    2. restart mac. =failed.
    3. reinstalled itunes. = failed.
    4. restored iphone4. =failed.
    Then,
    I do logged in as admin.
    I changed all the related folders' sharing/permissions to "read & write" for admin, me and everyone.
    But still cannot be snyced for the music and photos.
    I hopes that i can get the answer. Thanks.
    So, what else can i do?
    is there any solution?

    other threads have users reporting the same issue. I have a 4s which has been running fine and just this morning has come up with the same error. I suspect some permissioning issue on the phone (just a hunch)

    I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

    Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
    If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
    I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name  and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

    I have had IPhones since their inception.  Last phone was the 5.  A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
    Here is my issue.
    On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
    Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work.  The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error.  The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
    I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update.  There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

    I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
    It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
    The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
    I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
    I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
    I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
    Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
    I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
    By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
    I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
    I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
    I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
    Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

    How to stop the Sending USSD message on my iPad since upgrading. The eKit SIMM worked fine on my older iPad. Thanks

    Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
    (I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
    I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

    I have an iPhone4s. When I install apps, I have to give my Apple password first.  That’s okay. The last few apps I tried to download have opened another security window before they will install.  The window says, “Security info Required.  To help insure the security of your Apple ID we require additional information”  When I select okay, the Apple ID Password window opens and asks for my Apple password a second time. 
    It doesn't happen with every app and I’m concerned that these apps may be trying to collent my password.  Is Apple really doing a double check on my password?

    Welcome to the Apple community Kobra.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • How do I unlock a disabled iPod Touch without having the last computer it synced with, without restoring, but knowing the password?

    Hello, I have a disabled iPod touch that was taken from me by a family member, but then retreived by me. Said family member had tried the passcode lock so many times they disabled my ipod. We recently threw out one of our laptops which was so old it crashed for good. This was the last compter it synced with. I know the password to my iPod, but am unable to unlock it because it is disabled, and my laptop is not the last that my iPod synced with. I do not wish for my iPod to be restored, because i have important notes in the iPod that are too important to delete. What shall I do?

    If the iPod will be undisabled after the stated period of time you can wait that long. However, you may have to wait a long, long, long time. Otherwise wyou will have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore.  The screen lock is a good security feature.

  • Purchasing the Lightroom 6 (LR6) Standalone application as an upgrade in the UK.

    When attempting to purchase LR6 as a standalone upgrade rather the full version from the UK  there are no prices available. See link.
    Not everyone wants to sign up to monthly subscriptions for the CC Photography Suite so does anyone know when Adobe UK will release a LR6 Upgrade package?

    If you click buy (where the full price is display), it takes you to a sub menu.  Select "Upgrade", then the version of Lightroom your upgrading from, the upgrade price will then be displayed (£59.09)

  • Is there a way to download the older version of Pages 9 if you upgraded to the new one?

    Is there any way to download the older version of Pages (9) once you have updated to the newer Pages?

    If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.

  • Does the cord used for syncing an ipod have to be the one supplied with it?

    I've just installed a new hard drive and am trying to reload everything. My iPod is no longer recognised as a device on my macbook. Could that be because I am using a cable from a different product?

    Can you see your ipod in the System Profiler/usb-highspeed port when it is connected to your mac?
