Where is the support for system upgrade malfunctions?  I lost PDF options

and I am getting no resolution to the issue. My computer was fine before the most recent upgrade. I even tried to download the 10.5.7 combo upgrade several times after it was suggested. The download not only took forever but I had to restart it several times after it timed out. Once it finally completed and I installed it, I still am having the same problems including no PDF print options and my Pages keeps quitting.
What is going on? MY COMPUTER AND ALL ITS SOFTWARE WAS FINE before the most recent upgrades.

This might not actually have been the case. One of the top reasons for an upgrade failing is for there to be some kind of subtle underlying problems that the user might not yet have been aware of. For that reason, it is strongly recommended that you repair the boot drive and repair permissions before every system update.
The other likely possibility with 10.5.7 is bad RAM, as it seems to be picky about that. However, bad RAM would not show up as a lack of PDF print options or a single app crashing, so that makes it unlikely in my eyes.
Also, *never ever* restart your computer in the middle of an update, unless you are reasonably sure that it has really, truly frozen. If such a thing does happen, you should download the combo updater rather than using Software Update and try that. Of course, if you have installed the update without doing the preemptive diagnostics, you should go and repair the hard drive before trying to update again.

  • Systemupda​te40-2009-​10-19 -- Where is the support for Windows 7?

    I am about to rebuild my X201 Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I downloaded systemupdate40-2009-10-19.exe and systemupdate40-2009-10-19.txt.  The txt file is extremely poorly formatted for notepad.  It is one long line.
    Also, from what I can make out in the description at the begining of the file it only has support for XP, 2000 and Vista:
    "ThinkVantage System Updatefor Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista"

  • DAQmxBase for Mac OS X: where's the support for all DIO ports?

    As of version 1.5.0f2 of the NI-DAQmxBase release for Mac OS X, only port0 is supported for digitial IO. I would like to have the full functionality of my E-series board; does anyone know if a new release is in beta now or will be released soon that, you know, supports more than 1/4 of the board's DIO functionality? Are there workarounds one can employ with the current version? Thanks in advance.

    There are no current plans to add support for the extended digital on the NI 6025E.  The architecture is unique to that board and the newer M Series boards now have an extended number of digital lines. Another option is to use an E series board and the PCI-DIO-96 which is also supported in NI-DAQmx Base.
    With that said, we continually add features based on customer requests.  Do you have a lot of these systems?  Do other people out there want the extended digital on the 6025E supported?

  • Where is the support for Logic???

    Anyone knows if there exists any support for Logic?
    A phone number?
    A support forum?
    A mail support address?
    Any other support application?
    This is a shame...

    I was only pointing out that the suport apple offers is not support IMO, not criticizing your post.
    Having to pay for a support that should be included whenever you buy a software is a shame IMO.
    It's a shame that apple only offers true support for ipods:
    From this url: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    "mail support is available for iTunes Store and .Mac, and Apple Photo Services questions."
    "Mac and iPod customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support — one support incident per iPod and unlimited incidents per Mac. iPhone comes with up to two years of technical support while your iPhone is subscribed to wireless service from one of Apple's exclusive wireless carriers for iPhone."
    And what about pro users that use their software (like Logic or Final cut) for living? And more: does an ipod or an iphone cost more than Logic studio?
    This is a shame.
    But thanks anyway for your help.

  • I am trying to transfer the bookmarks etc to a new profile i made because the old profile kept crashing all the help articles atre for older versions where is the support for firefox 4.0

    I do not know what else to say except the support is very sketchy and I need help

    Support articles for the various versions of Firefox are automatically shown based upon the version of Firefox that is used to view those support pages. If you use a different browser to view the support pages, you might need to select the correct version of an article on the right-side of the page.

  • After going through the process for an upgrade, we completely lost Mozilla. We get a message saying that we don't have permissions. How can I get the previous version back on my computer?

    My husband received a message saying that there was an upgrade for FF Mozilla, so he proceeded to upgrade. After doing so he received a message saying we didn't have permissions. I took the laptop to the Geeks at Best Buy and was told that it was a software issue. We just want to get back to our previous version but can't do that either.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • HT1338 where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite

    where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite

    The currently sold version of Aperture at the AppStore, Aperture 3.6 is compatible with Yosemite. 
    See the Release notes: Aperture 3.6 Release notes
    If you are running any version of Aperture 3, you should be able to update to this version.  Does the update not show for you?
    The update has been shown automatically for those who had upgraded from Mavericks and been running Aperture 3.5.1. Other users, who skipped Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1 have reported problems to get the update to show and needed to contact the AppStore Support. The update did not show, if the users tried to update from an earlier version.

    Bill,
    Thank you for your reply!
    You may have guessed I am a bit  exassperated. (See this discussion from yesterday.) (Re: How do I get past the Error: 16 problem?
    I am trying to move Adobe Acrobat IX, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC and Bridge to a new computer (Mac Pro (late2013), Mavericks 10.9.3) from an older Mac Pro using the same OSX.
    I keep getting the error 16 message whether I try to open Acrobat or Photoshop (I have a paid for DVD of CS6). I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have reset permissions on 2 folders ion the system Library. I have either deactivated or signed out of ALL the Adobe products on my old computer. I signed in as 'Root' and tried to open the software. I have re-downloaded all the products except CS6 which I own. I have restarted the computer. I have repair the drive using Disk Utility and Disc Warrior. In short I have tried everything I can think of and that which has been suggested my others on this Forum.
    Thanks again,

    I am at Ramstein AB Germany.  My iphone screen was smashed badly on the flight to Germany this morning.  WHEN I access apple support for this subject it gives me 3 options call now, call me now or call me later.  As I am in Germany with no coverage and no working phone none of those options will work.  Can you get this e-mail to someone who can help.  My iphone serial # is C38xxxxxx. 1) I need to know where and how I can get a replacement somewhere nearby in Germany 2) If 1 is not an option I need to set up an appt to get a to get a new iphone at an apple store in Atlanta GA in the evening of 11 July.

    Thanks, my wife is the one serving I am retired and trying to follow her as much as I can. 
    I will schedule an appt for my next time stateside.  I have spent too much time on many Apple web sites trying to get an e-mail to communicate with anyone at Apple to no avail, only phone numbers. I guess if you are overseas with no international access you are out of luck communicating with them.  I did find one e-mail address but the reply was computer generated and provided useless links.
    If anyone has any e-mail address for anyone at Apple I would appreciate it.
    Thanks again,

  • I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

  • Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

    Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
    My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

    OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full
