Updates not needed but marked as important

I have 76 updates marked as imporant but when I click install: "Not needed"
I know that you can do the updates manualy but coz the links are hard to find and sometimes imposible and coz they are 76 I wont do it manualy.

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down eliminate

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Have updated my mail but i cant import my old messages as i am told that I do not have enough room on my HD but when I deleted files and movies an hour ago and now it says i still don't have room.

I have updated my mail but when I try to import my old messages back I am told That I do not have enough space I then deleted a number of files and movies and still got a warning message of not enough space

Did you empty the trash (click on Finder) after deleting the files/movies?

Late 2009 Mac Mini EFI 2.1 Firmware update not needed/already factory installed?

Here has been my issue of trying to figure out if Mac Mini can handle (and fully use) 8GB of RAM with my current EFI version.
I want to upgrade to 8GB on a LATE 2009 Mac Mini that currently has Boot ROM MM31.00AD.B00 and was told to update with EFI Firmware update 2.1 but it does not install saying "This update is not needed on this machine".
I found various contradicting posts saying that I need my Boot ROM to be MM31.0081.B06 or my machine won't utilize the 8GB fully
and will slow down in performance and/or crash after the Apple recommended 4GB.
But here's what I found interesting. Some users have mentioned that the Late 2009 Mac Mini's shipped with updated firmware and don't need this update but could not find a concrete answer as to yes it did ship with it or not.
Apple doesn't even list a Late 2009 Mac Mini as needing a Firmware update in this list of Firmware updates: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 . Should I just assume that my machine shipped with said update and is capeable of the 8GB? I use this for Logic Pro 9 as a somewhat portable workstation that I can take with me so maxing out the RAM would be ideal for me.
Any help or clarification would be greatly apprishiated,
Nelson

Actually a Late 2009 can take 8GB of RAM and only the Early 2009 needs the EFI update.

OS X updates not installing but showing they have

All my regular app updates work fine, but when I have tried to update the OS X updates (10.10.3, Pro video formats 2.0.1, etc..) they begin the download and before the download completes or installs the update shows in the "updates installed in the last 30 days" area of the MAS and it still appears in the update area (shown in image). I cleared the installed history to see if that would help, it did not. I re-installed the OS and that didn't fix the problem. I have attempted to download the install and run it separately but it also didn't install. I checked the log and I get a few different errors:
1) locationd[90]: Could not write data to disk /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/cache.plist
2) sandbox cache could not be reset
3) ATS is unable to switch to read/write database - ATS will run off of a read-only database. Only System fonts will be available.
4) sandboxd[255]: ([269]) softwareupdated(269) deny file-write-create /private/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068/C/com.apple.SoftwareUpda te.SUUpdateServiceDaemon.state.sb-66620acf-mdroYI
I have reset all the folder permissions to default, I have run Verify Disk and have repaired it, I have Verified the disk permissions and repaired them. I used Pacifist to install the updates, and nothing has worked. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have been searching the internet for about a week hoping that someone had a solution but it seems like I am the only one with this problem. Not sure why the system would be saying it doesn't have read/write/create privileges though. Especially after reinstalling the OS and making sure the folder it says it does have permissions to use has been given those permissions. It looks like a sandbox issue but I don't really know that much about sandbox.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

So I was searching for another way to install and I happened upon a forum that solved my problem. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1743064 the user nrothwellir posted a comment I think it was from an apple forum, Re: Mavericks unable to apply software updates which solved my problem, the steps he gave were:
go to terminal and go to /var/folders/zz/
once there list the content (ls -la) and check the ownership for folder i.e zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068
it should be: drwxr-xr-x+ 3 _softwareupdate _softwareupdate 102 20 Aug 02:17 zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068

Transcode not needed, but the exported files are very large

Hi. I imported a video file (*.m2v) and its associated audio file (*.wav) to Encore. These two files were transcoded and exported by Premiere Pro (setting of the Encoder was MPREG-2 DVD). Now, in Encore, I chose NOT to transcode, because the files are DVD compliant already, and second their total size was less than a DVD's capacity (video file 3.3GB, 6Mbps;;;; Audio file 850MB, 1.5Mbps). My question:why did the Exported Dvd have 7.5GB in size?? Though the total size of video and audio is (3.3+0.8=4.1GB). I have a main menue only that has no fancy stuff nor motion.

Thanks Ruud Blauw. You were right. I used the same assets in two time lines, which resulted in exporting the movie in two twin copies, each was put as a single title in the DVD. What bothers me is that I had no way of seeing this on the [Timeline Viewer]; in other words, I couldnt see two time lines before I export the movie.
After experimenting, I realized that the first"wrong" situation differed from the new"correct" situatioin in only the [Project Tab]: the 'wrong' situation had 4 items in the [Project Tab]: Video file, Video Timeline, Audio File, Audio Timeline. On the other hand, the 'correct' situation had a [Project Panel] which had only 3items: Video File, Video Timeline, Audio File. This means that the difference was only the existence of an Audio Timeline.
Although I am new to Encore, this makes no sense to me. But fortunately it got resolved.

Not unhappy- but have an important quest

I still love my Creative card. If I was not going to use my X-Fi then I would probably just stick with the on board sound. I see no point in any other cards out there. I have been a loyal Creative customer for many years and see no reason to change now. I see them moving forward and at least putting some effort into making this all work right. Some other companies seem to be laggin behind CL in my opinion. The sound quality with the new drivers is very good, in my opinion, however can I get an estimate as to when hardware acceleration will be supported. This is one of the largest benifits of my X-Fi card versus on board or other sound cards. With XP Pro x64 in Vanguard there is an option to use hardware acceleration while with Vista Ultimate 64 there is only a software acceleration option. I believe this is causing a huge performance hit. When is this option going to be turned on or supported in Vista 64 driers please?Thank you...

Catherine,?Are you telling me that hardware acceleration is actually available with the current/new drivers but that there is an issue in Vanguard. Therefore following these suggestions and replacing a file will allow me to feel the benefits of hardware acceleration. If this is the case I really thank you.... I would really love to have this work!Message Edited by RandyPMyers on 03-09-20070:49 AM

[SOLVED] Windows Update not working after Cloning Hard Disk!

Lenovo T61p with Intel Turbo Memory - Cloning HDD with Advanced Format (4K Cluster) HDD
I have been beating my head against my desk for the past day trying to figure out the problems I am having.
I have a Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Installation
I cloned my old 100GB HDD onto a 500GB HDD to increase space however after doing so I am unable to update windows, turn windows defender on, or install any Microsoft Products. I am even unable to install WindowsActivationUpdate or Microsoft Security Essentials.
I have tried many FixIt tools to no avail.
I have run SFC /SCANNOW
I have run CHKDSK
I am stumped.
****RESOLUTION****
After doing some digging I found the solution. Since I had cloned the drive, the old AHCI driver wasn't updating Windows with the correct sector size. Updating the AHCI driver with the latest from Intel solved all the issues I was having.
**Note**
Install the Lenovo Driver First -- Reboot
Lenovo Driver: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001676
Install the AHCI Driver Manually (iaAHCI.inf - Do this in Device Manager) -- Reboot
Intel AHCI RST Driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20110
***DO NOT INSTALL RST GUI IT WILL REMOVE TURBO MEMORY DRIVERS!!!***
Windows Update = Working
Windows Defender = Updating

3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop sppsvc (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
Note: the Software Protection servive may not be running, this is ok.
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: %windir%\system32
9) Type: net start sppsvc

11) After a couple of seconds Windows Activation dialog will appear. You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key or Activation may occur automaticly.
But it still says Windows 7 Activation was Successful.

I only discovered this problem a month after replacing my system HDD with an ssd Drive for a Vista sp2 Dell studio 1735 . But in my case all drivers were up to date. However this post triggered the right path to a solution. Though it is more
a workaround ... . Perhaps this will help others, an even more perhaps bring a microsoft engineer to make a small adaption to the vista windows update tool ....
So the problem seems that Windows Update checks for its datastore if the file is alined with the HDD underneath. But it seems that this check fails for an ssd with a 4K sector size.
Lucky I had another HDD in my laptop, which is required for this work around to work :-(. So the following shows the problem (and I think Windows Update does an alike test).
cd \windows\SDold\DataStore (so use cd \windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore if you didn't try the "ren" action yet as mentioned in many posts)
esentutl /g DataStore.edb -> (result) Operation terminated with error -583 (JET_errSectorSizeNotSupported, The physical sector size reported by the disk subsystem, is unsupported by ESE for a specific file type.) after 0.15 seconds.
cd D:\        (to a 512 byte sectored HDD )
esentutl /g C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore\DataStore.edb     -> (succeeds! normal verification output)
So I tried (the junction tool can be downloaded from sysinternals):
net stop cryptsvc
net stop wuauserv
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\SDold\DataStore D:\DataStore
robocopy /mir C:\Windows\system32\catroot2 D:\catroot2   (I now think this is not needed, but I started with an Technet post (and many others ...) that put me on the esentutl track... , which is also why the "net stop cryptsvc" is present.)
C:
cd ..\SoftwareDistribution
rmdir /s /q DataStore
junction DataStore D:\DataStore
cd ..\system32   ( again not sure if needed, also counts for the next 2 commands).
rmdir /s /q catroot2
junction catroot2 D:\catroot2
net start cryptsvc
net start wuauserv
And windows update worked again ! Check the C:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log
Of course this is just a workaround, but perhaps this puts another searcher on the right track. And perhaps it makes a Microsoft engineer update the responsible code ... as to be aligned on disk does not seem crucial for the databases used for this "application"
Sorry had to remove links for sysinternals and cc734083(v=ws.10).aspx (esentutl, which is a vista specific command) both Microsoft links, as Microsoft has not yet verified my account ...

An update for an app is not loading, but I need to use the app even without the update. How do I cancel the update? Right now is on hold.

I use an app, today there is an update, so I push it to update. Is giving some error, not possible to upload,.. May the server is too busy?,.. So the app is on hold,.. Waiting...
In any case, I need to to use the app... But I can not get it to open ....how do I go about canceling the update?

If there's no important data, delete and re-install.

Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death. I always need to perform a Force Quit. I have updated my software, but that did not help.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I need to update my phone, but my computer broke, and do not have a new one. I have an Itunes account, can I use someone else computer to go through with the update? Is there a chance of loosing all my data, ie: music/photos?

Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I need to update my iMovie, but it will not let me because I need version 10.7.4 or later. I tried downloading this version but it would not let me because I need 10.7. My question is how do I download this version?

Lion should still be available if you call the online Apple Store. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store. The Lion installer will download and run automatically.
Confirm compatibility with your current applications and Lion before you upgrade; in particular you will not be able to run any appications that were written only for PowerPC Macs.
Regards.

Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. I have exhausted the suggestions on the support page. I have no choice but to use a different browser.

Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. This is a common problem, as I have seen many posts with the same problem. I don't know what else I can say about it, it is pretty straightforward.
