Updating to 10.4.6-complaint

In an attempt to update my G4 iBook from 10.4.2 to 10.4.6, I turned on the download last night and expected it to be finished this AM. After 12 hours and 49 min. being online (dialup), this is the message I got.
"The update Mac X Update Combined Power PC can't be installed.
A networking error has occurred.
Error NSUKLE Error Domain -1005 (-1005)
Make sure you can connect to the internet and try again."
What!!!! Another 12 hours 49 min. again for nothing? What's wrong with this picture? I used the software update from the Apple icon in the menu bar at the top. Like always. I'm still connected to the net. I haven't shut it off since 9PM last night. I don't understand this "make sure you are connected..." when I am connected.
I think Apple should have updates on CD available for those of us who can't download. They used to give out versions of OS8. Unfortunately I have to use dialup because that's all my area in the country has.
So how do I get the update, or so I just get along any old way?
G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

Hi, Anne.
Apple hasn't released an update on CD in some time. When they did, if memory serves, the CDs were $19.95 plus tax. I suggest you submit a Mac OS X Feedback concerning making Tiger updates available on CD.
Based on the following:
"The update Mac X Update Combined Power PC can't be installed."
It looks like you tried to download the full Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update from the Downloads page. True? Or did you try using Software Update?
The 10.4.6 Combo Update for PPC is 140 MB, quite large for dial-up. Your dial-up connection probably dropped during the process or your ISP may limit the size of your downloads.
You could try downloading the individual "delta" updates, e.g. 10.4.3, 10.4.4, etc. though the 10.4.3 delta update is 97 MB, still a bit challenging for dial-up. I have links to all of the individual delta updates in my "Mac OS X Standalone Updates" FAQ, or you can find them individually by searching Downloads. For 10.4.6, be sure to select the PPC version.
Here are some ideas for obtaining large updates if you do not have broadband or your ISP restricts the size of your downloads:
• If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, visit them and bring a CD-R or CD-RW disc with you — or buy a pack there — and they'll let you download and burn the required Delta or Combo Update there in the store. All the stores have broadband.
• If you're not near an Apple Retail Store, perhaps a sympathetic local Apple Authorized Service facility with broadband would do the same.
• If you have a friend who is using Mac OS X and has broadband, work with them to download the required Delta or Combo Update and burn it to CD.
Once you have a CD with the Update, copy the Update to your desktop and run it. It cannot be run from the CD.
Note that some of the information above is from page 477 of the "Software Update" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
Good luck!

  • Installed 10.7.3 software update, HP printers do not work anymore

    I installed the latest software update. None of my HP printers work anymore. I have an HP Deskjet 2330, and an HP C5580 All In One. I tried resetting and then I added the printers again. It did not work. I have a 13 inch Mac Book Pro that was made in early 2011. It has a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of memory.
    When I use my all-in-one as a copy machine, it works fine.  When I try to print something in it, I get a message that it is sending data to the printer and then nothing happens. The printer just sits there. The 2330 has a different problem. It acts like it is printing, but no images form on the paper. I replaced the ink cartridge and it made no difference. I tried cleaning the print heads on both but got an error message after a while. Both printers worked well for years. The problem started suddenly after the software update. I find scattered complaints on the web about this, but nothing particularly helpful for my situation. Help!

    Are the printers connected to the Mac via USB or are they networked.
    If they are USB connected, then you could try a reset of the printing system. This will remove all devices from Print & Scan, but not the supporting drivers, so you will only have to add the printers again.

  • Running slow after downloading a mandatory update

    running slow after downloading an update!
    I had zero complaints until today when I downloaded an update and restarted my machine.
    Now It feels like I'm back in the PC world.
    Any suggestions?

    If it is Safari loading web pages slowly, I would suggest http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230 or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594, one of these will surely help. If not, as previously suggested, more detail will greatly help.

  • MacBook Air SMC Update 1.0

    Found this SMC update for the Mac Book Air....for the fan issue.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookairsmcupdate10.html

    Just installed the updated and have been on Time Machine for 3 minutes and the fan is going crazy at 6500rpm.
    A time machine backup does this (especially if it's running wireless). Mine does this both before and after the update.
    FYI, a MacBook Pro does something similar, some tasks just eat CPU and other resources. There's nothing wrong with your machine or the update. Despite people's complaints that the MBA is "slow" it still has a very fast CPU crammed into a thin package. The fan is necessary for tasks like this.

  • Exchange calanders not updating ical fully

    We have a microsift exhange server and I am trying to sync the calander with it. The mail has worked fine but the calanders have not property or completly updated.

    I received this same complaint by the Vice Chair of Psychiatry here at UCSD. I went to check the issue and it was plain as day. An event he created on his MacBookPro was not reflecting on any of his desktop iMacs or his iPhone. I tried refreshing and all of that none of this worked. I had to close and open iCal. Then it worked. His Mail.app also does the exact same thing. he is running 10.6.4 and is all up to date. A fix for these obvious Mac Bugs would be appreciated.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO.  The fix on Kodak site does not work.

    Since upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite 10, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO 5250.  The fix on Kodak site with Terminal does not prompt to password like it says it will.  Macbook has all available upgrades completed.  Printer works with a PC. 

    This is where I found the Kodak fix:  http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49247/selected/true
    I'm not really comfortable in 'Terminal' but tried it.  Nothing happened after pasting in the first command.  The fix says it will ask for password. 
    I see now this seems to be a pretty common problem, I would have thought Apple would fix it with an update for the number of complaints I've found.  Since Kodak is in receivership or bankruptcy, I would think it's unlikely they will have any more solutions.  I feel like Yosemite stole my printer. 

  • Functionality out of the box

    We are installing Portal 9ias and the HR & Finance applications from 11i.
    Then if we were to install the base Portal Application with no modifications. What would be the functionality of the portal?

    Hi Jonathan,
    To add to what Laziz has told you...
    1. Yes, Mobile Time and Travel is currently available only for laptops.
    2. SAP Mobile offers 3 versions of Mobile Sales. Here they are in ascending order of functionality offered:
    a) <u>xMSA Online.</u> This application is based on Mobile Web dynpro and will run on Blackberries, Windows-based Pocket PCs and a couple Nokia Communicator models. It requires a connection, as it has no local data store and runs in a browser. Functionality is as follows:
    - Accounts (business partners): View, Update, Create and Favorites
    - Activity/tasks: View, Update, Create
    - Opportunities: View, Update, Create (no line items - associated products)
    - Sales Order and Contract: View only
    - Analytics reporting: View only
    b) <u>xMSA for handhelds</u>. Runs on Windows-based devices (no BB support) and Mobile Infrastructure. xMSA HH is an offline app with an local database. It offers the same functionality as xMSA Online, plus...
    - Sales Orders: View, Update, Create
    - Service Orders and Complaints: Create
    - Follow up documents.
    - Opportunities still do not have line items and there are no Contract views.
    - Factsheets and Survey management.
    c) MSA for Laptop. A .NET-based application with full functionality that includes line items for opportunities, pricing and much more. It pretty much enables most of the CRM sales functionalities on laptops with a local database.
    I hope that answers your questions. Let me know if you have any more.
    Thanks,
    Ted

  • .htaccess and MIME types not working in 3.1

    anyone else noticed that when using a .htaccess file to determine certain mime types safari 3 ignores the .htaccess file and handles the file the way the OS would normally?
    i'm hosting a bunch of 1080p .mov's and I'd prefer if they would just download when clicked on instead of trying to open in a window where they go out of frame.
    i've currently got the addtype set to octetstream, and on safari 2 and firefox they both automatically start to download, but safari 3 tries to open the movie in the browser window.

    I think that it is interesting to note that as I peruse the various threads dealing with 3.1 update problems the majority of complaints seem to be coming from iPhone/Mac combos; based, at least, on the posters signiture.
    For my part, 64bit vista win machine and 3Gs, the update could not have been soother and the phone works better then it did; no app problems, better wi-fi conectivity, faster loading of apps and files.
    I have had, though, considerable problems with Outlook sync, contacts sync and MM sync (enough so that I turned off MM except for iDisk); but most of these are known issues so just need to with it out.
    Seems like Apple could have workedd this stuff out before hand, though.

  • IOS 8 No 2G/3G Toggle (No Internet in INDIA)

    Hello,
    I am currently a medical student in india, I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and started experiencing this problem. With iOS 7 (Which has 2G/3G Toggle) my internet use to work moderately well, It kept loosing signal here and there but it was bearable. I user CELLONE/BSNL as my cellular service and after updating to iOS 8 my Whats app works perfectly fine but none of the other apps work (over internet ofcourse). When i use Safari and lets say i load apple.com, It would load apple.com(After toggling airplane mode like 10 times) and after going to apple.com, If i try going to google.com it disconnects the internet(Then i have to toggle airplane mode 10x again) this is happening over personal hotspot aswell. This is very irritating because i contacted my carrier they said they did everything they could from their side and now i have no option but to contact apple to bring back 2G/3G toggle. Please push out a update to add 2G/3G toggle back into the settings menu or Please contact BSNL/CellOne customer service from your end to push our a carrier update for iPhone.
    My Complaint number for BSNL is Docket Number - 1I22302289.
    Thank You,
    Fenil Gandhi

    Switch to a supported carrier.
    By the way, you are NOT speaking to Apple.

  • 10.4.11 problem with Airport disconnects

    I installed 10.4.11 some months ago and discovered that it caused my airport connection to disconnect randomly and often. The only solution I could find at that time, after reading this board and others, was to revert back to 10.4.10.
    I am wondering if a solution to this problem has finally been found?
    TIA

    There had been some user issues noted in the MacFixit.com pages, about the
    time certain software updates for Intel® equipped Macs were being installed by
    a certain number of Mac owners. While some of their pages go into an Archive
    closed to non-paying members (they offer a free membership to post in forums)
    some of their topics appear in Tutorials, of which some remain public for a time.
    "MacFixIt Tutorials: instructional information of lasting value... mac or ipod - MFI"
    http://www.macfixit.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20031209121115375
    Of these, ones pertaining to AirPort, wireless, updates, fixes, workarounds, and
    helpful tips could be found under more than a few topic titles. I used to look into
    the MFI.com main page, a few days after a major update or upgrade was available
    to see if there were any user complaints about it; then see if they'd mentioned any
    mistakes they'd made to botch their attempted installation. If the user's issue was
    more than likely a user-caused problem, I'd go ahead and install the updates, etc.
    So, a few updates may temporarily mess with what had been working fine; but if
    an issue appears that does not affect a majority of users, in your computer, only
    after an update which few if any complaints were filed (specific to one item) the
    problem may have existed in another form and mutated or became apparent in
    your computer after another major change in the Mac's system occurred.
    The large Combo update, to take any (intel) 10.4 system to 10.4.11, is the one
    to get; and security updates. Archive your stuff off the computer; wipe the drive
    totally, and install from the ground on up. Or clone what you have to another
    drive and have that as backup, to sort the mess out later; but you could get on
    with your computing life nonetheless. Be sure to make a backup, and back it up.
    The MFI and other feedback forums sometimes have a unique and questionable
    cure or two proposed; if they are not too invasive, they are sometimes worth it. Of
    late, more MFI Forum ideas seem like they were copied from Apple Discussions!
    Anyway, issues with dropped AirPort connections were noted at some point and
    certain security and other updates were said to fix them. Some should be avoided.
    Good luck & happ(y/ier) computing!

  • Where is the Developer inp

    *Note: This is a repost for the Portable Media Forums about the Zen Vision:M, but I feel it pertains to this board and applies to other devices as well. Seeing how some of you don't visit the other board, here it is...
    With the multitudes of "problematic" posts and posts which identify befuddling limitations, where is the developer input? We are rightfully curious as to which direction the next firmware update is heading yet our complaints/inquiries/frustrations have resulted in the dev-team to respond with... complete silence.
    We are NOT asking for up-to-the-minute updates round-the-clock, just some mention of what bugfixes and features they are shooting for. Really, just a response affirming which issues they are aware of and offering NO timeline for fixing, would suffice.
    Besides the current problems common to all players, I have not had one LICK of trouble with mine. I absolutely adore it, and for thousands of people who have already bought one I would venture to guess they do as well. We are here to address issues about this player because we believe. We believe in the ZV:M. We believe in the direction Creative has taken for its next-gen media devices (this is my first Creative product). Yet, we also believe in customer service and relations. Where has this gone?
    We do not demand answers that shouldn't already have been dutifully responded too. We only plead for information on a product we purchased in good will and faith, from a company whose crusade against the iPod we support.
    I do strictly charge Creative with the task of interacting with its customers and revolutionizing the way in which MP3 players will be concei'ved from this day forth. Work with us and we will surpass the 'iSpawn' generation.Message Edited by Ma_USMC on 03-3-20062:6 PM

  • Freeway 5 Pro crashes with Snow leopard installed

    Okay, I got excited and could not wait to install Snow Leopard, my bad.
    I work with Freeway 5 Pro and, after installing Snow Leopard (as update), opening some of my Freeway projects caused the software to crash (quits unexpectedly sounds better); I sent reports to Apple (almost 10 of them within a week). also contacted Softpress (the company selling Freeway) and they tried really hard to help me (inspecting crash reports, inspecting my site/projects) but could not find anything wrong. I haven't found any answer in this forum either and was hoping for some answers. I have since returned to Leopard 10.5.8 and all is fine.
    I find the whole experience quite disappointing and wander to this day if I am the only one with this kind of issue?

    Thanks for being so fast, I guess the word support is not taken lightly in this place, it is rather comforting!
    As I mentioned, Softpress inspected every site project I created and could not find anything wrong with them; they also talked about possible issues with Font Book (double checked here).
    The first time I uninstalled SL, I went on a cleaning frenzy in my Mac Book Pro, ran Disk Warrior, etc. The machine purrs!
    I am almost tempted to redo these projects (2 or 3 of them, quite tidious), but still hope for some solutions, having a feeling that either Apple will have an update/fix (considering the many complaints I read) or someone will figure out a "but of course" solution...
