Updates ruin my system

I had 10.4.3 and I updated all the way to 10.4.10 (PPC). Then I tried to download Safari 3 (beta) after that regular safari disappeared! I cannot download anything, but every time I try to install a new download it flashes in the doc and then does nothing. Software update does not work now.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to help me?
I have lost Safari and must now use an old Internet Explorer.
How do I get Safari back and get my software updater to run?
Thanks!

Here is what the installer package says in paragraph two of the "License" section of the install:
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS “BETA”, PRE-RELEASE, TIME-LIMITED SOFTWARE MEANT FOR EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES ONLY. THIS SOFTWARE SHOULD NOT BE USED IN A COMMERCIAL OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OR WITH IMPORTANT DATA. BEFORE INSTALLING THIS APPLE SOFTWARE, YOU SHOULD BACK UP ALL OF YOUR DATA AND REGULARLY BACK UP DATA WHILE USING THIS APPLE SOFTWARE.
Shouldn't the concern be that too many users don't read this & just automatically click the "Accept" button because the software is from Apple? It isn't as if this is buried in fine print somewhere -- it appears as you see it here, in all caps & bold. Aside from putting this in a 30 point, red font, what do you want Apple do to get people to read & heed it?
Face it. Even if Apple put giant, red "RTFM" stickers on every one of its products (using either the sanitized "Read the Fine Manual" version or the more attention getting, ruder one), some users would not only ignore its message, they would insist it is somehow Apple's fault that they did so.
The focus of this forum is to help other users solve technical problems. IMO, an important part of that is getting the word out that reading this stuff is a great way to prevent problems before they occur.

Hi All,
Stock value is not getting updated in APO system From ECC automatically but if we do it manually from transaction CFM2 it will get updated.

Thanks,

Hi,
for transferring the stock data from R/3 to APO automatically, you need to have the integration model for material and stock activated.
please check the same.
if this does not help, let me know in detail the steps which you are following..

Try booting to the recovery partition and running Disk Utility.
1, Boot while holding down the command and R keys (two keys).
see this page: http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
2. Run Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the left column, First Aid then click Repair Disk.
3. Quit DU and restart.
If that does not do it, you can reinstall the OS from the same screen as took you to DU.
(My cat has never been able to do what yours did. I think he is just trying to email his friends.)

Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

IOS 6 Update ruined my 4s.

I bought my iphone 4s on December 25th 2011. It worked perfectly, I absolutely love my phone.
Although, ever since I downloaded the IOS6 Update, it has been glitching, crashing, and I've had to reboot it about 5X a day.
It's not fair.. I payed 700$ for my phone, it should work.
I don't have a lot of memory used on my phone so its not over loaded. Cookies are deleted and everything.
I've had my mac for two years and it works great and no update ruined it. I don't know why this is happening!?
I have a warranty with Best Buy here that i pay 12.99 a month for, but I'm not sure if that would be enough for them to see if I tell them that its been glitching.
I don't even care if I get the Iphone 5, I just want my phone to work properly !
Any tips or suggestions ? Thank you !

As bhazel suggests. I've had Macs for 28 years and no update ruined any of them.

Update of the System 10.6.8

From mysterious reason no longer works update in my system (10.6.8). Periodically it says that update can not be done, and I have made a diagnosis. This of course turns out well, but update is not possible. Otherwise, the Internet works as it should be, I have no problems with it. I tried to apply the 10.6.8 Combo, but nothing.

Why not? iTunes 10.5 requires at least Leopard 10.5 or higher, and you say you already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Sorry, but I'm not sure what your software problem is.

Photoshop Elements 11 will not allow me to open files after I updated my operating system

I recently updated my operating system with the latest upates. Now, I when I got into Elements and I try to open a file, the window where you normally click the file disappears before I can click anything. Then I have to force quit because everything is grayed out and I can't click anything. I have contacted adobe support but they said it is most likely a mac problem becuase the program works fine when I log into another user account. They said to contact Macsupport to check the permission for Adobe products on the current user acount. Also, some people suggested to turn off the active corners, but that didn't work. Anyone else have a suggestion?

Sarah
I am having the same issue and all since I updated to the Maverick OS (well it seems that way anyway). I am currently going through the process of repairing permissions, removing other pieces of 'non standard' software on the Mac, uninstalling Elements 11, doing a safe boot and then a download of the package again and trying a completley new install. If this doesn't work it will be a fresh user account and start again.
There were some very helpful hints from folks about remmoving other unnecessary software which did help stablise other issues but I still cannot get Element to work.
You could have alook at these links to see if anything helps with your issues - the last one seems most relevant;

MAC Mini 10.4.8 update crashed my system

Yesterday a message popped up on my screen, said I should update to 10.4.8. I did and after rebooting the system locked up in trying to find the mouse/keyboard. I then called Mac support and was told that I would have to buy support contract before they could help.
I don't figure how they can **** up my system and then want me to pay for it. I was almost an apple convert. But now I think Linux is the only way to go. MAC ***** and I will inform anyone I know not to buy one.
The MAC mini does not even have a cd eject button, if the OS does not start you can't get the cd out. Can I load Linux on the system.. Will have to check on that.
Later,
William

William,
As someone who has updated a rather large number of Macs to 10.4.8, I can tell you without any doubt at all that there is nothing wrong with the update. What tends to happen in these situations is that updating a system brings to light issues that pre-existed and which should have been fixed before updating took place. There are instances, for example, where as a result of utilities used or add-ons installed, the software update process may mis-identify the particular model of Mac you are using or the components it contains, and download the wrong, or incomplete, update. The easy fix is to download the full 10.4.8 'Combo' update from the apple/support/downlaods page and install that. This resolves most updating issues because the combo update contains all the components and recourses for all systems.
By the way, what you read here is primarily going to be complaints about faulty systems or software, so while it's informative to look at what other people are posting, it isn't indicative of anything much other than that some users are having some problems. It's a bit like a hospital waiting room, where the people are typically going to be sick other wise they wouldn't be there - but you can't, of course, infer from their presence that the entire city is sick!
MacOS 10.4.8 doesn't slow systems down at all. Bad cache files, poorly maintained systems, conflicting fonts, out of date prebinding, erroneous permissions, damaged properly lists, etc etc, are all capable of causing system performance issues and all need to be examined and resolved. As a Linux user, no doubt you are familiar with these concepts.
As to Apple support - your perception may vary, but they still score consistently high on the consumer satisfaction surveys of such people as JD Power and PC Magazine. There is always room for improvement of course and Apple is far from perfect, but one thing that we do see happening a lot is that as new users join the throng of Mac owners, they tend to bring their expectations of need to run maintenance and utility software with them from other platforms. What is often needed in Windows, for example, to keep a system running well is rarely needed in MacOS - and can actually create issues rather than resolve them.
Oh, and:
I have done nothing to my system.
Setup 7/24/2006, used it for web, creating doc's and email.
Got no help from Apple because it's been 90 days.
10/28/2006 or 10/29/2006 looks like they timed
the update to cause systems to crash so they
could charge for support in fixing it.
Is just plain childish. Firstly, that supposes everyone bought their systems at the same time as you did, which I'd imagine you can see is a bit unlikely. Secondly, it flies in the face of the majority of users who report no issues. Thirdly, Apple wouldn't survive long if they had that sort of business practice. Fourthly, it abdicates all responsibility you have for your own system.
