Updater 2005-10-12: Downloaded but not running

Guys & Girls, bear with me on this...
I have been stuck with this issue for a few weeks now and originally had raised this issue on the ITunes forum and despite 30 or so postings nobody solved this problem.
Basically I can download the updater for the Mini (Windows XP) from the website, fine no problem. I then follow the correct instructions by opening the application from my Start Menu. However, when I select the updater nothing happens. No prompt box appears, nothing.
I have been on a friends PC who downloaded the application for me. It ran perfectly and i connected my Ipod when requested and the software appeared to load. When I got back to my PC the Ipod updated. Nevertheless a couple of days later when I docked my Ipod Mini to ITunes it failed to recognise it again...
I have just tried transferring my friends downloaded updater folder to my PC, but exactly the same thing happens. It would appear that for some reason my PC is not allowing the Updater to run.
Most grateful for any ideas???

Here's where my procastination is a good thing... I was about to upgrade to the latest firmware last week when I stumbled upon green-orange problems here in the forum... And some guy can't play M4As... Now I'm scared of updating to destroy... so I turned off all auto-updates... better to stick to what used to work, no matter how old...
Meanwhile, try restoring from an earlier update... like last month's... or your iPod CD...
I'm waiting for things to clear up before even attempting to update...

  • HT1925 After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll can't be found, APSDaemon.exe not running".  Windows 7.

    After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" APSDaemon.exe will not run.  itunes will not now run.

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

    How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
    I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

    There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

  • DAC Task are queued but not running

    Hi Everybody,
    Currently we are running the ETL for only Financials and there are 394 tasks in total out of which 285 have been completed successfully. At times some of the tasks would just get stuck on particular action. For e.g The analyze task after dimension population would remain in the queued status and would never switch to run mode. So we had to abort the ETL and restart it. This action resulted in successful completion of the previously queued task. Now for past two days the ETL is once again stuck (queued but not running).
    For e.g The following task is showing status of running
    51     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate     Running     2009-03-02 21:09:59.0                    DataWarehouse     DataWarehouse     SILOS          Update Slowly Changing Dimension     Informatica     0     0     -2     CUST R11 5 10
    But if I right click on the details
    I get this
    1     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate_Full     Running     2009-03-02 17:40:41.0     2009-03-02 21:09:09.0     3 hour(s), 28 min(s), 28 sec(s)     Verifying if workflow still running on Informatica Server 'Oracle_BI_DW_Server'.
    If still running will attach to the workflow.     DataWarehouse     Informatica     0          -2     0
    And the remaining detail tasks for this are in queued status.
    What could be the reason?
    Does it need the Infomartica workflow manager open? It is open currently open but must have been accidently closed in between.
    Informatica services have always been running.
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    This Sometime happens with DAC.We faced the same issue and had an SR open with Siebel for almost 2 weeks,they Couldnt help us out.
    Restart your DAC Server and Do a Dryrun and then run your full ETL .
    The Analyze task would not hang anymore.
    I dot have any logical reason why this happens,but i am guessing it has to do with some java heap memory.So restarting the Server would free up the memory.(i am guessing but not sure).
    But it Works.
    Try it
    Let me know if this helps
    Thanks

  • How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

    Hi all
    I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
    This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
    Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
    Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
    It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
    I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
    This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
    So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
    I would like to see answers like:
    "In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply Eric
    Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
    Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable? 
    Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do? 
    If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business. 
    I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
    I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
    It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
    Regards

    I was running Foxfire 3.6.9 and wanted to use FTP Program add-on and it did not appear to load but appeared but then would be installed but not run or appear under tools. So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    Hi..............I have a new Creative Cloud registration and have bought the new Dreamweaver CC but I cannot seem to down load it? My Creative Cloud has downloaded but not my new Dreamweaver CC?  I currently have the old Dreamweaver CS4 on my system! Can anyone help?

    The first thing you need to do is download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. Then, open that program and click on the Apps tab. You download and install creative cloud applications from there.
    If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run a given program, it won't show up under the Apps tab.
    Once they are installed, you'll need to go to your Applications folder (Mac) or Program Files (x86) folder (PC) to start the program itself.

  • Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

    Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder  I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro.  I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any.  The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

    The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
    It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
    Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

  • Constant Error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working. But NOT running Trusteer Rapport.

    I am experiancing this unbelieveably annoying and constant Flash error;  Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working.
    But NOT running Trusteer Rapport, I never have, and it's not even installed on my computer.  So what's causing this?

    There were a couple AntiVirus/AntiMalware products that keep coming up, but I haven't validated that in the lab and don't want to call anyone out publicly without reporting the issue to them first.

If you could tell me what antivirus/antimalware products and versions you have installed, that would be helpful.
    So, third party stuff aside, I'd like to know more about the crashes your seeing:
    1.) Please provide links to the Firefox crash reports.  If you have multiples, the first few would be great.
         In Firefox, type about:crashes in the address bar
         If the link starts with "bp...", it's already been submitted -- just right-click on it and copy the link, and paste it into the reply here.
         If not, click it to submit it, and copy the subsequent link.
    2.) In firefox, type about:support
         Just copy and paste the output into the reply.
    3.) In Firefox, type about:plugins
         Please copy and paste the output into the reply
    4.) Please provide the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Utility
         Click Start > type "dxdiag" [enter]
         Click Save All Information
         Copy the output of the file into the reply, or use Adobe SendNow/DropBox/PasteBin to share the file.
    5.) If you can provide an exact URL and step-by-step instructions on repeating the crash (if it's consistent), that would be really helpful.  My goal is to build out a configuration that matches yours as closely as possible, reproduce the problem and then debug it.
    If you're not comfortable sharing that diagnostic information publicly, send me a private message.  Just click my name and use the options on the right.
    Thanks!
