Websites asking for updated Quicktime -already using 10.4.3 w/latest update

I am a new powerbook user...performed all software updates about ten days ago yet when I visit certain websites to view video, I get a dialogue box suggesting that Quicktime needs updating to view the video. Huh? Can anyone make sense of this?

I too have noticed unacceptable behaviour running Safari on my Mac Mini running 10.4.3. I have not notied my mouse becoming inoperative but it will frequently not load pages...just stops part way into the load and then just sits there. It eventualy will just stop loading. If I try another site it might aork and it might not. A restart of safari sometimes fixes it and sometimes not. A restart of the computer will usually result in safari running properly but will only last a short while before pages stop loading. I have cleared caches several times a day trying to stop this crap but it just wont run right.
Seriously this is crap software...I can run explorer on my XP system and never have a problem. Running off the same home wireless system that I am using for the Mac. Can someone tell me what the problem is OR give me a better alternative to Safari? Maybe Explorer for Mac osx? Im just frustrated with this and dont feel this stuff should be on the market if it cannot perform any better than what I have experienced.

  • Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked in the apple update menu and at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking f.ud?

    Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Have purchased ilife11 garage band but garageband keeps asking for updates

    How do i upate garageband to ilfe11 already purchased and downloaded it

    Hi Paula,
    If I understand correctly you already purchased iLife '11 and updated your computer with it. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say that GarageBand (GB) keeps asking for updates. Perhaps this will help. Even though iLife '11 is a new software, there already has been a number of software updates to iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, and GB '11 as well. The new software updates come during weekdays, usually on Tuesday or Wednesday. In general it's advised to check up for new software updates on regular basis. I do it every day from Monday through Friday. Sometimes there is whole bunch of updates available every week, and sometimes there is nothing for some time. So, if by any chance you haven't updated your software since the time you installed iLife '11, it's possible that all these updates are waiting till you do what you have to do, meaning, click on Apple icon in upper left corner of your screen, and then click on Software Update in scroll down menu, after you do that, the box with a message will appear on the screen. If there aren't any updates it will say so, in that case click on Quit. If there is something available, go for it, just follow the instructions. You can update right away or latter, but you need these updates. If you want to be sure that your GB is up to date, open any project, click on GarageBand in menu bar (left upper corner of your screen), then click on Check for Updates in down scroll menu. If there is update available, just follow the instructions, if there is nothing there, the message box will appear saying that your GB is up to date.
    Cheers!

    Have you tried signing out of the App Store then signing back in?
    From the App Store menu bar click Store > Sign Out
    Quit and relaunch the App Store then click Store > Sign In with the correct Apple ID.

  • My IPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 any idea To unblock it please

    My iPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 it shows on the screen iTunes with an arrow. Any idea To unblock it please?

    I have a similair problem.  My Iphone 5 has been doing a recovery for approximately 6 to 7 hours.  Should I expect it to take this long or should I restart the process?  Itunes does say it is doing a recovery and looks active but I question the length of time that this is taking.
    Thank You in Advance...

  • CC asking for updates for updated apps.

    I update all apps, but it keeps asking for update for the same apps. I updated them several times today.

    I followed Adobe's direction on how to fix the problem and it worked but only for the five updates that had been showing up repeatedly. They went away but a couple days later two new ones showed up and after I installed them they showed up again a couple days later. Surely you aren't recommending that people have to go in and do the fix for every set of updates are you?
    thanks,
    Jon

    But something with that name is asking to update.

  • I am running OS X version 10.7.5 on a Macbook Air.  I read in one thread where someone had an update that was higher than 10.7.5 but when I ask for updates, none are available. Is this the last update for OS X?

    Niel, thanks for your response.  I have been very wary of downloading Mavericks on this machine.  I don't feel it has the power to run it and I'm afraid it was slow it down terribly.  It was bought in late 2008.  It's fine for my purposes at this time…just holding on until I buy a new one.  I have the same problem others have with autofill not working, so I was trying to see if an update would help that situation.  Grace

  • Website asking for database login

    </p Hi, I need your help and please help me.
    I have a report that have been working all this time until IT dept told me to change the database to something else.  I changed the datasource and it is running just fine on my computer.  When I loaded my report to the same location on the website so that the users can runs it, it is populates a box asking for database login.  The funny thing is, I recreated a brandnew report pointing to the same database and it loaded up there just fine without asking for the database login.
    I don't want to recreate this report and I have to do the same with 20 more reports like this because I customized so much.  Please tell me what should I do?
    I am using Crystal Report 2008 version 12.1.0.892 on Window XP 32 bits
    Thanks so much for your help!
    Anh Nguyen

    Hi,
    If a new report works fine on the website then try opening your report in Crystal and go to Database | Set Datasource Location.
    Point to the new database and make sure all the tables are updated.  Save it and upload the report to your website.  There may be a table or a subreport that is still trying to connect to the old database.
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • Mail app asking for passwords it already knows, taking accounts offline, intermittently failing to connect IMAP/SMTP

    Recently I have been experiencing intermittent connection failures with Mail in OS X 10.7.5 on both our Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    The little "lightning bolt" icon or the "exclamation point" icon will occasionally appear next to some or all of my accounts in the left column and Mail will (sometimes) prompt for passwords already in my keychain and then take the accounts offline. Sometimes the failures take place during IMAP logins and sometimes during SMTP sends. Sometimes they affect my iCloud accounts, sometimes my Gmail accounts, and sometimes both.
    When I try to take the account(s) back online, Mail sometimes fails to do so. Quitting the Mail application completely and relaunching it will randomly result in the problem persisting or going away. What makes this so confusing is about half the time, Mail works just fine.
    This is only happening on OS X, in Apple Mail, our iPad and iPhones appear unaffected even when running on the same router with the same ISP. I can also verify that all the iCloud and Gmail accounts in question can be reached successfully using other mail client software from Windows in my various virtual machines. Therefore I believe this is an application issue and not something related to my network.
    When the issue is evident, Connection Doctor will fail on some or all counts...when it goes away Connection Doctor will show all green lights again.
    This issue has only manifested in the past week or so, and both machines are up to date on Software Updates. Perhaps something pushed out recently from Apple is causing this? Is anyone else having a similar experience?

    Same issue, too.  But I have nothing better to do than try to fix Apple problems that appear mysteriously and randomly; I'm sure you're the same way.
    The REAL REASON, which can no longer be overlooked, is that Apple's (probably underpaid sweatshop Chinese) employees build toys for grown-ups and do little more than that.  I wish I had never bought my Mac (2009) since few things about Apples are "intuitive" unless you've been an Apple cultist since Jobs introduced the first Mac.  Oh, and because things mysteriously stop working, something I don't recall happening with any of the PCs I've owned. 
    Apple's version of Excel is a total joke and on an update that I did not ask for, the "Save As" feature, a convention that was 30 years old and worked well, was removed in favor of "Duplicate, Rename, Save."  What 22 year-old Apple product manager was allowed to make this change? 
    I foolishly compounded my Mac purchase error by buying an iPhone 4S.  On that lovely ($200 Verizon-subsidized) product, I can no longer discover my home network, rendering my ($100) Airplay for outdoor music useless.  (But I probably can post a picture directly to Facebook or something!  More toyish behavior in which Apple specializes.)  Can I get support on these POS with a phone call?  No, I need to rely on a Aapl cultist to devise some esoteric key combo or a "jailbreak" on a Support board or blog site.
    I'm eligible for a phone upgrade on 8/13 and I'm counting the days.  Will upgrade to a good large-screen laptop asap as well and then throw the Mac out my office window.  Junk, just junk.  Apple's stock is at $433 from $700 and it's still overpriced.  How long will this rant last before it's sanitized by the Cupertino Big Brother? Maybe what the children who design product ought to do instead is BUILD BETTER STUFF.
