Updates after Combo update reinstall
I had some problems with alerts and notifications.
I tried to reinstall the Combo update for 10.5.5 to fix those problems. Unfortunately I found the fix right after I started the update. Not wanting to break my system I just let the update finish.
Now that I'm booted again I wanted to install all the updates (e.g. security update 2008-007) again that I had installed after the first install of 10.5.5, but prior to the reinstall of it. (I hope that it makes sense).
To my surprise I see that there are not updates available. Are those 'updated files' not overwritten or can Software Update no longer tell if I actually do need those updates. So does that mean that I just don't need other updates or do I have to manually install those?

Hello ruud:
As nero indicates, reinstalling the OS X 10.5.5 combo update should not affect the other updates. If I were you, I would let things alone.
Incidentally, you can find a listing of previously installed updates by going to:
system preferences>software update and clicking on the "installed updates" tab at the top.
Barry
That list/log only shows the automatic update installs, not the manually DLd ones.
The proper place to look is in the main Library (Not System/Library) under Receipts.
There may also be a few in the local user LIbrary that were installed for a specific user.

[SOLVED] Problem w/ lxdream after updating/reinstalling OS.
Hi,
Yesterday I've made update on OS and then I've got Kernel panic... So I've recovered data and reinstalled OS (it was the best option for me, because previous system was such a mess). After installing OS I've compiled by myself lxdream and after copying 'bios data' to ~/.lxdream it gaves me "Illegal instruction" ("Bledna instrukcja" in polish). So, I've tried compiling from the AUR and I've got this same result. Before update/reinstall everything was working ok. This is from 'gdb lxdream' and typing 'run':
Starting program: /(path_to)/lxdream
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 0xb3357b70 (LWP 1745)]
ALSA lib pcm.c:7236:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x0809547f in gl_reset_state () at drivers/video_gl.c:36
36 glOrtho( 0, video_width, video_height, 0, 0, 65535 );
(gdb) _
My system spec:
AMD Athlon 2000+ (1.6GHZ)
512MB RAM in one DDR module (Kingston)
80GB HDD PATA (Segate)
Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 AGP (w/ using nvidia-96xx)
Creative SB16 listed by lspci as Ensoniq 5880B
I'm using xorg-server 1.7.5.902-1 and nvidia-96xx/nvidia-96xx-utils.
It's not bug in alsa, because on previous install I've got alsa underrun occured and everything was working ok. Also it have other optional audio drivers (alsa,esd,sdl,null). Even on 'null' it's not working.
I don't know what a problem is with lxdream, because previously it was working ok with the same drivers and 3rd party applications/libraries.
It looks that some package after update have broken compatibility. I need this emu, because it's needed for me for Homebrew Development.
I'll test lxdream on second PC with similiar specs, that have ArchLinux slightly outdated.
It's my first post and sorry for my English, I'm Polish.
Thanks a lot.
// it works okay on second (not mine) pc, it has xorg-server 1.7.5.901 and open source ati radeon drivers (called 'radeon'), I don't know if that helps, if I would know how to debug it...
Update:
It looks that it's ia gtk or gl/glx bug, because when I comment this line 'glOrtho( 0, video_width, video_height, 0, 0, 65535 );' it runs, but when I get cursor over GL display it will crash with:
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
on_video_window_mouse_motion (widget=0xadff940, event=0xae03c18,
user_data=0xae94600) at gtkui/gtk_win.c:133
133 int x = (int)event->x;
So it's looks that it is a GL/GLX or GTK bug. On that PC gtk version is 2.18.7, mine is 2.20.0.
Update:
I think, that it is a GTK 2.20.0 related problem...
Update:
Marked with 'SOLVED' flag in the subject.

the latest itunes update on my vista laptop brings up R6034 runtime error - after rebooting - uninstalling - reinstalling i have NO itunes access. please correct in your updates. there are others with the same error message thank you!!
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

In attempting to "update"/reinstall many of my previously purchased apps, a "download" feature does not appear, only an "open." I am only be able to access them via the iTunes/App store - I can open them, but not reinstall them. Am I doing something wrong? (I have a 4s, which was just updated to 6.)

After osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?
after osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?
For us to help you we have to understand your problem. That means you have to provide an explanation of it as though we are all Martians. I don't know to what "macro" you are referring nor the "software" you had reloaded. However, from what you did describe I would like to infer you are talking about OS X. That your computer is not starting up, hence you get a startup gray screen with a folder icon that has an "X" in it.
That means the system software is not working properly or that you may have a bad hard drive. So, what you need to do is reinstall your OS X software. You will need either the original installer discs that came with the computer or a retail full Tiger installer disc-set.
You will need to boot from the installer and do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.
Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Tried to upgrade as instructed and after uninstalling and reinstalling (even back to the former iTunes which I was happy with)several times, keep getting message "Procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" "Error 7". Help, please??
Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. Unfortunately you neglected to include the detail of which dll is mentioned.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Firefox will no longer work after uninstalling and reinstalling
I am running max osx 10.6.3 and when i closed firefox i couldnt reopen it unless i force quit the app or quit it completely before closing the browser so i uninstalled and then reinstalled but the problem persisted so I deleted the contents of the preference folder after installing then reinstalled but now everytime i try to open it it gives me an error saying "a copy of firefox is already open. only one cope of firefox can be open at a time". I restarted the computer several times but that didnt fix anything and i can no longer start firefox. I am assuming its because there is a file somewhere telling firefox that it is open but I can find it.

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?

I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP
That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account. -

After a recovery reinstall of 10.8.5 and using Safari 6.0.3, I get the message "Safari won't open because of a problem"
I'm not sure if this Safari is compatible. I also have Safari 7.0.4 in my applications folder, which i downloaded as an attempt to
solve the problem, but it isn't compatible with my system.Having two copies of Safari on the hard drive is what's keeping Safari from opening.
Move the 7.0.4 version to the Trash.
Then restart your Mac and try Safari.
Safari 7.0.4 won't run on Mountain Lion. Only v10.9 Mavericks. -
After uninstalling and reinstalling itues according to instructions for Vista, QuickTime doesn't appear in my programs, I don't seem to have it anywhere, Isn't QuickTime supposed to be part of the Itunes installation? Is the absence of it why no ipod will function correctly for me?
Let's first try something relatively simple. Download and save a 64-bit version of the iTunes installer (iTunes64Setup.exe) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line.)
Now try right-clicking the installer file and selecting "Run as administrator".
Does that get you past the privileges errors? -
Trouble with iLife after OS X reinstall
I am having a hard time understanding what I am doing wrong.
Last week my system would shut down on restart. I did all I could to get it to work but it would only start in safe mode. After some phone assistance from SOS-Apple. I reinstalled Tiger. I saved my previous applications to the "Prior system" folder and the reinstall helped. I then attempted to merge all my applications back to the new OS but it seems I did something wrong. The iLife applications would not work properly. No iPhoto, iWeb, iDVD, Garageband, nothing!
I kept getting the following message "To restore the missing files, use the iLife installer to reinstall iLife". It did this over and over even after trying to reinstall. Nothing! I uninstalled all the iLife applications, restarted the system, reinstalled and STILL nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas?Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Before trying to reinstall the iLife applications check in the HD/Library/Receipts folder for any receipts for any of the iLife applications and delete them. Also check in the User/Library/Preferences folder for any iLife application preferences. They would take the form com.apple.iPhoto.plist. If there are any delete them along with the iLife applications and then try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
