Updating problem to tiger 10.4.8

I purchased the tiger upgrade 10.4.6 yesterday after being a panther user. After installing the 10.4.6 upgrade successfully I went on to the apple site to update tiger by downloading the 10.4.8 version. But when I try to install the new update, I can not do it, the system won't let me choose a the hard drive to install the update. any suggestions

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure you downloaded the PowerPC (also known as PPC) update? Macs which could run 10.4.4 updates and earlier versions of Mac OS X are only PowerPC.
Are you following the tips I've made* for upgrading?

Mail 2.0.5 CRASHES ON OPEN after Security Update 2005-009(Tiger Client)

I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.
I rebooted into a techtool pro e-drive and repaired permissions (as well as some other repairs to the drive, etc), but it still is crashing.
I created a new user and opened mail just fine there.
So... it is something in my account. Not sure exactly what to do next?

I'm having the same exact problem. (See Mail 2.0.5 crashes when I get new mail). I deleted my preferences & my junk mail settings, to no avail.
A remarkable number of other people are posting with similar problems, just in the past week or so alone, and as far as I can tell, no one has figured it out. There is definitely a bug here. I have a hunch that it may be related to a recent software update. I'm going to post this to the other threads in hopes of garnering some attention from Apple.
For posterity's sake, I am connecting to a Gmail account, a POP account, and a .Mac account.

I updated OS from tiger to lion.. my Dvd not functioning .. HELP--!!!

Recently i updated to os lion and after i di that my dvd drive stop functioning... anyone help please... i read it might be a software problem.. anyone knows what to do???? Thanks in advance.....

One of the reasons a brody and I are asking about "how you obtained Lion" is that you need to have the App Store in order to download it. The App Store is only available in Snow Leopard. The title of your thread states "I updated OS from Tiger to Lion". There is no way to download Lion from within Tiger (or Leopard for that matter). If you obtained Lion via other means, you may have an early build which may exhibit problems not found in the released version.
When you say your DVD drive is not working... Is it with one specific DVD, or have you tried other DVDs and they are also not working?
It sounds as though you have successfully installed Lion, but now your DVD drive is having problems. Do you currently have Lion installed and working?

Software Update problems and update problems

Hi eveyone. I recently bought a used macbook with windows installed and decided to install leopard. unfortunatly there are some problems. 1st: Software update does not work, when I run it it says that it couldnt connect to the server. I've tried multple times but always the same. So then I try going to the apple downloads section and getting the 10.5.3 and security updates there. When i start the 10.5.3 update there is a message saying that it could not be installed on the volume: this happens with all the versions from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3. Can someone please help? I never had any problems with tiger updating either way.

What are you using to try to install Leopard? AFAIK, you need a retail Leopard install set.

Problems installing Tiger on G3

I am having troubles installing OS X (10.4) on our G3 Desktop (Blue and White). The G3 has almost all original hardware, including built on firewire. Things added were a DVD Drive from a G4. It meets all the required specs for Tiger. It has all the latest updates and firmware upgrades. And the version I am trying to install is a generic OS X Tiger Installation Disk, for multiple computers.
When inserting the DVD on bootup, the display never comes out of powersave mode. If I start the system without the DVD in the drive, it boots into OS 9.2.2 just fine. Then if I insert the disc it pulls up the contents, I click on the installer and it says click Restart to begin the installation. Again it tries to boot but nothing ever shows up on the screen. I can hear the DVD drive spinning up about 30 seconds after restart, but nothing ever happens.
I've tried holding 'C', I've tried selecting it as a startup disk from within OS 9. I've even tried to install over the network, but everytime it tries to bootup the installation, the screen never gets a signal.
If you can please give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it!

New Problems in Tiger Classic (or iMac G5)

Hi folks,
I have the last version of Managing Your Money ever released and we have always been able to use it in Classic without any trouble at all. However, since we got Mac OS 10.4 (or maybe is was since we got the iMac G5; since they were nearly simultaneous, I'm not sure) MYM and/or Classic seems to display symptoms of a memory or other resource leak. That is, every window I open takes longer to open than the last one. Eventually, the program becomes practically unusable and I have to restart. If I keep using it without restarting, the iMac will eventually freeze and the force quit window won't even appear.
We have never had this problem on previous versions of OS X, nor on previous models of iMac (we've used OS X with classic on two different G3 iMacs and a G4 iMac).
Does anyone know of any differences that should be significant? Are there any Classic extensions that are known to have problems in Tiger or on G5 iMacs?
Sincere thanks,
Bill
iMac G5 20 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't know MYM does it make no difference if you allocate more memory to it with file>Get Info>Memory, please?
My own G5 runs classic exactly as my older G4 does, and since my configuratin is hardly likely to match yours, what does that prove?
If it was my Mac, I'd copy the Classic System Folder, set the copy in Classic System Preference, set its Extension Manager Set to Mac OS (Base) then Restart Classic and reinstall MYM, which should now have nothing to interfere with it…

Update problem - VBDATA table

Dear All,
We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
Thanks in advance,
Federico Biavati
My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hello Siva,
This is what I did:
> Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
> You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
> that are pending/in error
Good point!!
After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
Thanks for you help,
Federico

Chart x scale update problem

LabVIEW 8.5.1
Sweep Chart Problem
The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep. The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart. I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this. I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
I've included a simple example.
Thanks much,
JSC321

You have a typical race condition!
There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
(Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
Try it!

Updating problem...I have a update that starts out going through but then does not finish just keep running

also with the update problem it says software update and below the running bar it says connecting to the server

Please do the following: 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

10.5.7 update problems

After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

jjtopspin wrote:
Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

Cache update problem in Integration Directory

Hi all,
We have a cache update problem in our PI development server.
If we try to edit, save and activate any of the ID objects, under Cache notifications>Central Adapter Engine> all these objects are displayed as gray items.
We have tried:
1. Clearing the SLD Data Cache.
2. Did SXI_CACHE complete refresh.
3. Did CPA cache refresh.
4. Did a complete cache refresh of the server.
5. Restarted the server.
But still the problem has not bee resolved. Could you pls provide your inputs and resolution points.
Thank you very much.
regards,
Jack Nuson

HI Jack ,
first try to manually update the cache from ID select on your cache notifiaction and click on delta cache refresh button and refresh button .IF it does not yied any result then
Perform a full cache refresh using the URL
http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full . If the cache refresh happens properly then your problem will get resolved other wise you have to see the cache log to view why it failed there it will show you the exact reason . You might need to restart your java server also if the problem persist .
Regards,
Saurabh

Twitter Update Problem

Seems I have a Twitter Update problem. 1. I have no pirated software on my computer either from the App Store or anywhere else. 2. I did buy a set off templates for iWork through the App Store with my Bosses Apple ID (it's for work). Is that really the problem. That's ridiculous. The apple ID is mine, as is much of the software, but it's a computer use for work. If this is true it makes the App Store a lot less useful.

my apologies I was so annoyed. I didn't bother to state my issue. The issue is: Twitter is constantly asking to be updated. Even after it's updated. Even if it's deleted. I looked at the forums for a solution and found that people were having this problem who installed pirated app store apps.
I am logged into the app store on my account. All but one of the apps on my machine that come from the app store are on my account. However there is one piece of software on my account that I purchased, by logging out and logging in with her ID, purchasing it, installing and logging out, and again logging in as myself. I don't have an issue with that app. However Twitter, which was installed under my username, constantly says it needs to be updated. Hope that makes it clearer.
