Updated to 10.5.8 with software update; Mail won't launch on G5 Power PC

After re-booting I get the message: "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
I have installed all software updates that are current. Everything else seems to be working fine. Ideas?

Interesting, I never see a COMBO update via SU, but never miss installing them when they first come out. It might be that it didn't do its job properly. Give the manually downloaded one a go and also check what Ernie recommended. I don't use Mail, Eudora's my mail client, except to occasionally check that it's working. So far it does without any errors. Don't forget to repair permissions and restart after installing it.

  • Problem with Safari - now Mail won't launch

    I recently also posted this in the Powerbook G4 15" forum, as I couldn't get the link to the Safari forum to work...
    I was having trouble with Safari, which kept quitting every time I visited a site that used a certain type of code (not sure what, possibly Java or Flash). I downloaded and installed the Safari 3 Universal version in the hope of improving the situation, but that killed off Safari itself, plus Mail, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. I then trashed Safari 3; I've just found an old version of Safari 1.3, which I've now installed. It's working fine, but Mail still won't launch. I can't even find anywhere where I can download Mail again! Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful, as it has my entire email archive stored within it.
    Thank you!
    - Kitty.

    The Safari 3 install updates a few system frameworks that are used by other applications. Those frameworks that were added were designed to work with 10.4, not 10.3 which is why so many other programs are now having problems as well.
    The easiest way to undo this is probably to perform an Archive & Install of 10.3 (and choose "Preserve user and network settings"):

  • Whats the best way to apply office updates during OSD task sequence with Software Update Agent disabled?

    I am trying to update office via the SCCM 2012 R2 OSD task sequence. I know offline updating only updates the core components in the WIM and I'm trying to figure out how to add office updates as well. I am aware of using powershell to try and kick off
    a WU scan as seen here:
    http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/01/24/use-powershell-commands-to-assist-with-patching-during-sccm-image-build/
    But the kicker is we don't use SCCM to update the workstations (Solo WSUS install). Is there a way to do this (maybe set the client in the TS to switch on SUP, then off again when it goes off into production) rather than have to build a new image every month?

    You could use the ZTI_WindowsUpdates.wsf script from MDT.
    http://scriptimus.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/mdt-2012-automating-updates-in-lite-touch-deployments/
    How does it work?
    The task sequence steps run a script called ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf. The script uses the
    Windows Update Agent API to manage the downloading and installation of updates. All audit information is written to the
    ZTIWindowsUpdate.log file. If you find any unusual error codes in your log returned from the API (although I never have)  you can compare the codes
    here. The script will also check and update the
    Windows Update Agent(WUA) as needed at the start.
    In its default state, the ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf script will connect to Microsoft Update then search for and download all available updates including Security Patches, Drivers, Browser Updates and Service Packs. This is essentially the same
    as opening the GUI and selecting check for updates.

  • Error message with Software Update

    Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
    "None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    This is for the following downloads:
    iPhoto 7.1.4
    iDVD 7.0.2
    iMovie 7.1.4
    Security Update 2008-005
    Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Bruce

    Hi baltwo.
    I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
    After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
    "You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

  • Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage  to my Ipad with different name but with  software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance

    I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance

    Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
    To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.

  • My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top.  It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking.  What to do?

    My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003).  It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top.  I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
    My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me.  I suspect a connection between these two problems.
    I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder.  It hasn't helped.  The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
    Help please!

    Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??

  • Permissions Error Installing Graphic Update With Software Update

    I tried to install Leopard Graphic Update 1.0 using Software Update and got a permissions error. There was also a message saying the package had been moved to the trash and to use the Finder to install it.
    There was no package in the trash so I manually downloaded and installed Leopard Graphic Update 1.0.
    I am running 10.5.2 on a 1 GHz iMac G4.
    Has any one else seen this problem? Any idea what is wrong?
    Thanks.

    Ditto for me when installing Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 via Software Update.
    Manual download and install worked w/o a hitch.
    Curious Note: /Library/Updates/Leopard Graphics Update/Packages/SUGraphicsDrivers200801-1.0.dist had odd permissions in that the admin group had read access but a different admin account had write access. This was the last account logged in prior to my upgrading to Leopard from the DVD, but Software Update has never been run from that account. I gave the admin group write access (from the Get Info window) prior to manually installing the update. I doubt that had anything to do with the manual install working, but it might have something to do with Software Update failing.

  • I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

    I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

    I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
    Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
    Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
    Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
    This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
    Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
    The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..

  • HT4993 problem with software update

    I need help how to reslove problems with software update on my iphone 4s.

    Reset your device and try it again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss)
    Also make sure you have enough free space on the device for the update file - usually requires 2 to 3 times the actual size of the file to be able unpack & install.

  • Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

    Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

    Do firmware updates come with Software Update
    Yes.
    and installed automatically?
    No (at least, I can't think of one that has automatically run). Usually Software Update will download an updater that you then need to run separately. Usually the updaters will be installed to the Utilities folder ready for you to use.

    Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, you must make sure you meet ALL of its system requirements.

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.
