The mechanics of Update?

We take updates for granted but internally the have to be quite complicated: For instanced is an image rally patched on my system or is a new patched image shipped to me?

Hi,
Maybe I misunderstand your point, but if you just want to know how system installs update, here is the brief introduction:
When system get the updates, file and registry changes are primitive operations during this process, system would use primitive installer to take the component change list to generate the list of primitive operations, all primitive operations from all primitive
installers together form the POQ (Primitive Operation Queue).
If POQ cannot be executed immediately, system pends the transaction and records the operations in pending.xml file.
There is another operation, advanced installers, which are those operations that for whatever reason cannot be modeled as a simple list of file and registry changes. Advanced
 installer operations run as soon as possible after the POQ executed.
If this is not what you want, please feel free to let me know.

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • "songs..can't be updated b/c all the playlists for updating no longer exist

    My Ipod was "off power" for so long that it "forgot" all its music. Now when I plug it in to my base computer, rather then synching it says "songs on the ipod "name" cannot be updated because all the playlists for updating no longer exist"

  • "All of the playlists for updating no longer exist"???!!

    I created a few new playlists and deleted an old one in iTunes, and then when I plugged in my mini to update I get the message:
    Songs on the iPod “Kellee's iPod” cannot be updated because all of the playlists for updating no longer exist"
    There are no songs in my mini after this msg. I reset it, tried to update again, but got the same msg. Please help!!

    Hi Kellee!
    Why do people delete playlists?? Seems like you have the same problem someone I tried to help has. She got the exact same error message when she deleted a playlist. If I were you I would have shifted some songs around, changed the name of the playlist to something else but NOT deleted the playlist. I don't think you can get the same playlist back once you delete it. Question is why is your iPod not recognizing your new playlists and it's requesting to update the playlist you already deleted?? I'm afraid I can't help you but maybe someone else can. I just wanted to say this.

  • Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

    My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car.  Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player.  I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have.  Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to see an update on issues like this.
    I have the pioneer avh-3400bh.  Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should.  Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information.  Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control.  the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything.  Same for the pandora app

  • What are the tables will update while loading Master data ?

    Hello Experts,
    What are the tables will update while loading Master data ? And requesting you to provide more information about Master data loading and its related settings in the beginning of creation infoobjects. 

    It depends upon the type of Master data u r loading....
    In all the master data loadings, for every new value of master data an SID will be created in the SID table /BI*/S<INFOOBJECT NAME> irrespective of the type of master data.
    But the exceptional tables that get updated depending on the type of master data are.....
    If it is a time Independent master data then the /BI*/P<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the loaded data.
    If it is a time dependent master data then the /BI*/Q<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the loaded data.
    If the master data is of time Independent Navigational attributes then for every data load the SID table will get updated first and then the /BI*/X<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the SID's created in the SID table (NOT WITH THE MASTER DATA).
    If the master data is of time dependent navigational attributes then for every data load the SID table will get updated first and then the /BI*/Y<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the SID's created in the SID table (NOT WITH THE MASTER DATA).
    NOTE: As said above, For all the data in P, Q, T, X, Y tables the SID's will be created in the S table /BI*/S<INFOOBJECT NAME>
    NOTE: Irrespective of the time dependency or Independency the VIEW /BI*/M<INFOOBJECT NAME> defined on the top of /BI*/P<INFOOBJECT NAME> & /BI*/Q<INFOOBJECT NAME> tables gives the view of entire master data.
    NOTE: it is just a View and it is not a Table. So it will not have any physical storage of data.
    All the above tables are for ATTRIBUTES
    But when it comes to TEXTS, irrespective of the Time dependency or Independency, the /BI*/T<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated (and of course the S table also).
    Naming Convention: /BIC/*<InfoObject Name> or /BI0/*<InfoObject Name>
    C = Customer Defined Characteristic
    0 = Standard or SAP defined Characteristic
    * = P, Q, T, X,Y, S (depending on the above said conditions)
    Thanks & regards

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • How do i uninstall a purchased app (that no longer appears in the purchased app list in the store) so that i can repurchase and have the app appear as "purchased" so that i can get updates as the software is updated periodically?

    I am looking for some help with the app store.  I recently purchased an app (aperture) in the app store and subsequently apple refunded the purchase price.  However, the downside of this is that aperture no longer appears as a "purchased" app within my app store account.  Accordingly, i don't believe i will get updates as the software is updated periodically.  Apple has instructed me to delete all my aperture files, reboot and then revisit the app store to re-download and it should let me pay for the app and redownload just as if i had never had the app before.  However, when i go to purchase aperture, i get a warning that it has already been purchased and that i can re-download for free.  That sounds great but again it won't appear in the "purchased" list in the app store b/c of the original refund from apple.  I never thought i would have this much trouble trying to pay someone for a product! 
    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    Many thanks for your help!

    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

  • I have downloaded the latest pages  update on my iPad, but my iMac still has version 4.3 and I cannot find out how to update it only desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages to via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open P

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • 10.6.8 Unable to log into the network after update

    07-31-2011
    Server: 10.6.8
    Client 10.6.8
    Just installed the latest updates for my snow leopard server and it will not accept my network login. I have quadruple checked the credentials and then some but it appears to accept the username and pass, displays the user avatar and then the dialogue box shakes displaying the error message:
    "Logging into the account failed because an error ocurred"
    It's not a very descriptive message but I checked online for some help but couldn't find much. This issue specifically happened after the latest server updates. I know I could use time machine and fix it, I fixed it before that way, but I would like to find a resolution for this issue if there is one.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    After contacting Apple support I was told to rebind the machine to the server which did work initially. I was able to log in with my network login but when i shut down the machine later and tried to boot up and log back in, i was presented with the same error.
    I attempted the same resolution and rebinded the machine but this time it didn't work. I tried multiple times but have had no success.

  • Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

    Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

    Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
    So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

  • I can no longer encode a sequence in PP CC after the Dec 2013 update

    II have had to shut down and restart PP CC about 5 times when just creating a very simple sequence of clips from a family get together for Thanskgiving.  I had to shut down since everything just quite responding.  Fortunately, when I reopened the project, I could resume.   I finally got my sequence created, but, now I can't export the sequence.  The encode has failed 8 times in a row.  I've tried direct export, and exporting to the AME queue.  Sometimes I get the error sound and the absolutely useless error message "Error compiling movie.  Unknown Error." Other times it just stops making any progress in the encode with no message at all, but there are zero CPU cycles being consumed by PP or AME.  It just plain stops, wiht no eror message.  That happened 3 times when used the Media Queue approach, and in the preview window in AME, it just stopped encoding at very different places in the sequence.
    It appears as though I can no longer encode a movie.  And I'm paying big bucks for this every month?  What a sap.
    I'm glad I'm not a Pro, whose income and life depends on these tools!  But, I have a full time job, and only a very small amount of free time.  I do not want to spend my small amount of free time as an Adobe Beta Tester.  I've been using Adobe tools for years, which is why I signed up for CC, but...at this point: I can't even encode a simple sequence!
    I can't express my disappointment.  I wanted to be loading the encoded MP4 onto VIMEO for my friends and family to see by now, but.....I can't even encode a very simple sequence.  And, I not a newbie.  I have hundreds of videos on VIMEO, and many more on Youtube and Smugmug.  Every one was produced with Adobe PP (from v4 on).
    But now:  I'm dead in the water.
    I gurantee you that i will not 're-up' when my CC subscription expires, and, I guess right now, I have to start from scratch with my raw clips and find some other tools to use?  I wish all my expensive plug-ins (like MB Suite) would work in whatever the tools I will move to...but...I guess I'll just have to write them off as a loss, just like the next 8 months of paying for my Adobe CC Software that no longer works.
    I wish there was a way I could take the Thanksgiving Project and its sequences I've created in PP CC and convert the Project to PP 6.0, since I never had  any issues with it PP v6.0.
    But, from what I understand, if you make a project in PP CC, you are lost.  You can't go backwards.
    And, you know what?  I'm done.  I quit.  I won't even try starting over in PP 6.0.  I'm going to find some other tools.  I know they won;t be as full-featured as Adobe's, but...I'm not a pro.  I just need something that works reliably.
    Disgusted beyond words.

    PS:  So, does Adobe have any kind of disaster recovery plan when an update like this fails?  Can you please send out a "new update" that rolls me back to the prior version on PP CC?

    OK.  I have successfully encoded this very simple sequence, but, I *can't* get it to encode using my "standard" custom H.264 preset that I have been using for years.
    But, I was not able to encode in many plain vanilla codecs either, but, I got a notice that there was a CC update for AE, so I took the time to install those updates, and, as I always do, I re-booted after the update of AE.
    But, of course I had re-booted a couple times last night when I couldn't get the sequence to encode.  That's somethinf I always try b4 writing to a form.
    So, here's the sequecne of events this morning:
    1)  Try to encode sequecne to uncompressed AVI (Cineform AVI 1920x1080).  It SUCCEEDED.  But, even though the AVI was large > 3.6 GB the quality was horrible, I did not pay much attention to the quality settings.
    2)  Try to encode to Quicktime H.264 codec.  FAILED.
    3)  Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=Uncompressed 4:2:2.  FAILED
    4)  CC UPdate notice for AE CC and AE 6.0
    5)  Perform update
    6)  Reboot
    7)  Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=Uncompressed 4:2:2.  SUCCEEDED - but ENORMOUS FILE SIZE *very nice quality though*  :-)
    8)  Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=H.264.  SUCCEEDED.
    9)  Try to encode to my 'usual' H.264 Preset FAILED, just hung up during the 2nd of two passes.  My preset is a VBR with 2 passes, see bitmap below. In this particular case it got 'hung' at this frame.  But, It never 'hangs' in the same place?
    So, I don't know why I was able to encode the sequence using the Quicktime Wrapper and botn Uncompressed and H2.264 Codecs after updating AE CC and rebooting, but not before.  Surely there is no interaction between AE and AME?
    But, the re-boot should not have caused it alone, since I had rebooted several times last night, and I've installed nothing but the new update for AE since last night?
    So, I guess I'm OK now.  Please excuse my tone last night, I was very frustrtated.
    It is interesting that I still can't encode this particluar sequence using my "standard" H.264 preset.
    And, BTW Jim:  What I mentioned in my previus post was not that I had brought and old PP 6.0 sequecne into CC and encoded it successfully, but that I just re-encoded one of my most complex sequences AGAIN in PP 6.0, just to wanted to make sure nothing was haywire with "good old" PP 6.0.
    But, I did just re-encode a sequence from PP CC from before the Dec 13 update using my "standard" H.264 preset, and...yes...it DID encode.
    SOOOOO...Jim, you were correct.  My inability to encode was not due to the DEC 13 PP CC update, but something very peculiar about this one sequence.  But, it is a very simple sequence.  The only effects applied is some light color grading using MB Colorista, and Warp Stabilizer to a stabilize a few hand held shots.  No other effects.  And...the encode that fails using my standard preset, never fails at the same frame.
    But...at this point I'm OK.  Instead of an encoded file in MP4 I have an ecnoded H.264 rendition in the QuickTime MOV wrapper.  At least I've got that sequence done and can move on to the ton of others I need to get to (without having to learn an entirely new tool).  :-)

  • A serious error has occurred or how the 7.1 update ruined my life.

    Ever since the 7.1 update to Premiere, I've had nothing but problems. The desktop app fails to update for every update, and appears to think it's out of date when it's not and then the icon in the menu bar will be grayed out until I reboot 3-4 times. The "workaround for that seems to be to force quit and uninstall the "previous" version and then download the "new" version from the creative cloud web portal. This wouldn't be that large of an issue, but it happens almost every other day.
    Then once I can actually open Premiere, the real fun with errors begins. I have received the "A Serious Error has occurred" screen on 30-40 (not exagerating) delightful occasions in the past couple of weeks, with no real details of what is actually wrong. It usually occurs while trying to fix an issue where my multi-clips aren't showing the audio waveforms in the sequence, but it has happened plenty of other mysterious ways. This is even more complicated, because it's happening on multiple systems and one of them isn't even using the 7.1 update and another is offsite and using different hardware. The same annoying error occurs across them all.
    Another super cool "feature" is that Mercury Playback Engine capabilities come and go as they please. Sometimes they work for Premiere or Media Encoder or After Effects, but sometimes they just pick one for that given day and don't let the other apps playback. All of the systems GPU were working just fine in 7.0.1, but now wtf Adobe?
    My system specs are varied, but the general idea is this:
    Mac Pro systems (4,1-5,1) 2.3GHz - 2.93GHz
    16-24GB RAM
    Nvidia QuadroFX 4800, Nvidia QuadroFX 4000, Nvidia GeForce 9800
    OS X 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
    A few of the systems have AJA Kona 3 and Kona 3G
    Most of the media is being accessed across 10gigE to a ProMax Platform, and the project files are local on SSD's.
    I have the bug report from Apple, so if that helps let me know so I can get that info to someone who cares.

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm still planning on attempting the 10.8.5 install on one of the affected systems. In the process, I have uncovered a new issue related to the CUDA acceleration not being there at all on a system that used to have it. That particular Mac Pro system only has a GeForce GT120, but the point is that in CS6 and CC, the CUDA was working until this latest update. The other systems have QuadroFX 4000 and 4800 cards, so those seem to be getting CUDA playback, however it is intermittent.
    As for the OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to install 7.1... That is correct. The Creative Cloud Desktop app was failing updating itself (as it still does on every "update") quite a bit, I don't remember any specific messages, but I did see somewhere along the process that I wasn't able to install the Premiere 7.1 update with my 10.7.4. One of the systems here is have a ton of issues with AE, but that's a whole new thread I think. I will attach some of those errors for kicks, but all of these problems occured with the introduction of the virus that is Creative Cloud into our working environment.
    I am working with a wide variety of media: R3D, 5D, F55 4K XAVC, Canon C-300, XDCAM EX, FS-100, ProRes. The projects that I've been having the most issues with lately has the Canon C-300 .MXF media mixed with 5D h.264 as a 2 camera multi-cam set up. The other project that was giving me a lot of trouble right when I installed the Premiere 7.1 update was R3D and F55 4K XAVC. Both issues were the "A Serious Error has occurred. Premiere will try and save your project" vague warning. I usually only lost work since the last Autosave 20 minute interval, but sometimes that is a lot of work and when it happens 10 times in one day, that is unacceptable.
    Here are some answers to some more of those questions:
    What other software are you running?
    These are all possible conflicting software (IMO) that are installed:
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Avid Symphony 6.0.3
    Cinema 4D R14
    RED CineX
    Davinci Resolve
    Nuke7
    Adobe CS5.5 and CS6 are still installed
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Yes. Trapcode Suite, Primatte, lots of scripts in After Effects. Lots of codecs installed from Sony, Avid, RED, Canon, etc.
    I think I've answered most of the other questions in this thread, but hopefully that helps. I will update when I'm able to get 10.8.5 installed. I suppose a clean install of 10.7.5 perhaps might have the same chances of fixing this as well.
    Here is the Premiere Error:
    Here are a series of AE errors, that might need their own thread:
