Update on Mac : InDesign not installed ?

Hello,
I purchased yesterday InDesign CS4 Middle-Eastern edition, for Macintosh. It installed fine, registered fine, works fine, but I am unable to update to version 6.0.2 (the latest version). Both the automatic update and the manual update fail.
The automatic update, through Adobe Updater, updates the minor components correctly, but gives the following error for the main component :
The manual update, through file AdobeInDesign6Patch-All.dmg downloaded from WinSoft's website, gives :
If someone has had this issue, please advise me how to complete the update. I already contacted official support, but I don't know when they will answer. Normally, I work on a PC, but I got myself a Mac a few days ago, and I'm finalizing a project, and this InDesign update addresses important hyphenation issues.
I installed InDesign CS4 in the /Applications folder (default folder) on my MacBook. I am using Snow Leopard. I don't understand why the updater does not detect my installation. Afterwards, I installed again, but the update still fails.

After two days of hardships, I figured it out. In the installation instructions of the upgrade, it is said than you must upgrade from version 6.0.0.421. I had read those instructions, but I didn't notice that, in fact, I have version 6.0.0.407. This was the problem. The update instructions give you a link to required 6.0.0.421 version, a link different from the one given when I purchased InDesign ME !
In summary, when you buy InDesign ME, you get a link to :
Adobe_InDesign_CS4ME.dmg
(version 6.0.0.407)
But, in the installation instructions of the update, you get a link to :
AdobeInDesign6-Middle-Eastern.dmg
(version 6.0.0.421)
Both files are over 1 GB, and you must uninstall one to install the other. So, what's the logic behind this ? I don't know and I don't care. I am just very happy that everything works and that I can move on with my project.

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

After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot

After 10.6.5 update my mac will not reboot. It just spins at the white apple screen. Luckily boot camp works but, all of my important stuff is on the mac side. What can I do? I did not backup(I know that was bad), can I get my old settings and files back? What do I do?

Try sig's suggestion first, then, if that doesn't fix it, try some of the fixes here:

Some of them won't be relevant if you can't even boot, of course.

In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

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.

Does MAS show updates if apps are not installed ?

I got several apps from the Mac App Store but deleted some of them. In fact I deleted all traces of these apps even .bom and .plist files in "receipts".
Now updates of not installed apps are not shown in the App Store application. Is this due to the fact that these apps are not installed OR because I deleted the .bom and .plist files in "receipts" ?
Thx.

steps to find these "invisible" resources:
1) In Finder type Command F (Find)
2) In menu bar select "Kind"
3) Scroll down to "Other"
4) Wait a moment (menu has to rebuild itself)
5) Scroll down and select: "System Files"
6) In Finder type Command F (Find)
7) In menu bar select "System Files" and "Are included"
8) Type: "receipts"
voila ,with search results you will get the complete path which should be like: yourharddisk/private/var/db/receipts

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.

When I check for software updates, there is an update that is labeled "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1", I click on the button to install it, a message is displayed that the update was installed successfuly, I click on the "OK" button, it checks for updates again a message is displayed that "Your software is up to date". When I click on the "Quit" button a Windows opens displaying a message about the firmware update and I have to click on the "Shut down" button. The system shuts down, when I turn it back on and check for software updates again the "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1" is listed again, I have been through this 3 times, it says it installs but when I check again it still shows up as an update that needs to be installed and the firmware version has not changed as is should if the update did in fact install, what am I missing???

After the last update for OSX 10.9.5, I get messages stating that I need to re-install the update because it did not install properly - How do I do this

On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update. I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me?

You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.

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.
