Why are some application updates marked "Incompatible".

I notice when I look for software updates that some updates ar incompatible. These incompatible updates are always a later version than those I have in y computer. Why are they marked incompatible?

Probably because those applications require OS X Yosemite to be installed, which is the latest OS X version. If you are happy with OS X Mavericks, stay with it, but you can also upgrade to OS X Yosemite if you want to.

Why do some applications update independant of the application manager

Hello All
I am unsure, but fairly confident, that I am not the only one experiencing this. It seems that for whatever reason Acrobat, Lightroom, Muse and a few other apps have thier own installers and updaters. Why?
What is even more of a pain is the fact that each installation of Lightroom puts itself in a directory with the new version number breaking my shortcuts to it. yes there is a new one made on my desktop, but i have a gadget with a shortcut on it to all my important apps. Every installation of Lightroom breaks that link.
Could we not get all the apps in our creative cloud subscription to be installed and updated directly from the application manager? and could it not break my links?

What other apps is it happening with?

Why are some calendar entries marked bold?

Some entries in my Work calendar (OS X version) are bold. Actually they are in white text on a purple background. Others are in purple text on a light purple background.
The bold items turn up if I create a list of forthcoming calendar items, the non-bold ones do not.
The bold items seem to be invites that I've accepted while the non-bold items are reminders I've entered into the calendar.
Is there a way to make these entries bold so they show up in the coming up list?

Bill,
All-day events are depicted with a bold color outline which matches the owning calendar color. If you click on the event the text color will change to white.

Why are some applications only accessable to one user

Microsoft Office was installed using one user account. I tried to access it from another user account and it fails to launch with an error message. Also Parallels Desktop cannot find existing virtual machines when I attempt to access it from another user account.

Because the copyright holder only allows that. Nobody on these boards will know the reason for it.

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

Hey, I see I'm having the same problem lately. I keep entering new contacts to my Apple desktop, and ever since adopting Lion the new contacts refuse to transfer to my mobile devices! (no matter what I try!)...so much for having my contacts always updated with me!

Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work. For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed. How can this be fixed?

Hello igho234,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

Perhaps you are repeatedly checking for available updates while downloads are in progress. This can sometimes cause more than one copy to be added to the download queue.

Why are some websites, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the BNY Mellon website, denying access to users running Firefox versions newer than 3.6?

Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?

That is a question for those websites to answer. Firefox 4.0 was released almost 4 months ago, IMO more than enough time for those 2 websites to verify that Firefox 4 & 5 are compliant with W3C standards.
To be able to access that FAFSA website, my advice is to install the Portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to your hard drive. It won't affect your other Firefox installation. <br />

You're using the forums to spam your site in almost every single thread, and wasting users time.
Have to disagree with you there, Court Kizer. The Bullets&Bones site is, in many ways, where I really learned how to use GarageBand.

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

Why are some of the forums locked?

Why are some of the forums locked? Could it be because the number of complains for service (the lack of), scams by stores - employees, placating that happens just to make a sale or general MISINFORMATION and a total disregard for their customers would question some of Verizon's tactics?
Morally, ethically and legally questionable actions by employees with little to no accountability sounds about right?
What say you Verizon Customers?

Could be varied reasons. The thread is outdated, the question was answered, there are off topic attacks, there are personal attacks on forum members, there could be spam posts, or off topic posts, cross posting over and over and the list could go on.
Hope that answers your question?

Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)
