Why did 10.6.8 update install in "Trash" 118 items, my iMac?

Nevermind.
I found a thread with a solution from Cnet and it worked perfectly. Back up and running.

  • Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs

    I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.

    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do.  Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

  • Why did the most recent update set all my plug-ins to Ask to Activate and disable an Adobe one?

    Firefox update and none of my plug-ins were working till I went and changed them from Ask to Activate to Always Activate. This Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in says it needs to be updated but when I try it does not update. It returns to the same need to update screen. There is a problem with your latest update.

    I did try to update the plug-in. I would not. I fixed the problem by uninstalling the new firefox and downloading an older version and making sure it didn't install the maintenance program. This keeps it from updating. I even tried the 31 beta firefox and it set all plug-ins to ask to activate. Until you can fix this problem I will remain using the older version that works properly.

  • Why did all my apps update when I have automatic updates turned off?

    Settings/iTunes & App Stores/Automatic Downloads
    Music
    Apps
    Documents
    I have them all turned OFF so that I can manually update my apps when I choose to.
    Yesterday there were 11 updates left after I had finished updating the apps I use most often.
    Today, it says ALL my apps are up to date?!
    So, did Apple force a bulk update on me despite my having turned everything OFF? Or did all my updates just suddenly disappear overnight???
    I will be VERY angry if I find out that my apps can be forcibly updated without my say so!
    If so, how can I prevent this from happening again? If not, same question?

    It seems to be a common problem.

  • Why did my last software update disable functions?

    Hi.
    Ever since my last recommended software update last week, my PhotoShop app can't open files or save them. The message it gives me is "Can't open file due to disk error." Also, I now can no longer open iMovie2, which I was using as an app on Snow Leopard because I can't stand the new iMovie. I've been editing with it for the last two years, but no all at once it won't open any longer and the app freezes and must be forced to quit. At the same time, I can no longer print from the drop-down meniu from AppleWorks 6, but can print from the toolbar icon. All of this began after my last recommended system update (I can't remember because it was one of four updates at the same time). Nothing else has changed. I've shut down and thought that rebooting would cure the problems buut it hasn't.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Dowload and install the apple security update 2012-001 v1.1 and read the following:
    Apple revises Snow Leopard security update
    Maybe that update will fix your problems...or not.

  • Why did my available app update disappear from the app store

    A few weeks ago, I had an update available for one of my iphone apps that I chose not to download since it was said to have bugs.  As a result, I had an outstanding badge app icon.  Just today I realized that the alert was missing.  At first I thought I might have accidentally updated the app when I synced my phone last, but when I search for the app in the app store, it still gives me the option to update (I've included a screen shot below). It just no longer shows an available update under the update tab (see second screen shot)  It's not a huge deal at the moment since I don't want to install this update, but I'm afraid the problem might continue with future updates I want to install. Any ideas? I restored my phone from an icloud backup a few days ago, but once the restore was complete, the update alert still showed correctly, so I don't think that's the problem.

    It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem.  I had noticed the issue with my downloaded apps displaying the price, but I thought maybe it's always been that way since I never install apps through iTunes on my computer, just my phone.  My husband's computer is doing the same thing, but he didn't have any outstanding updates on his phone, so I'm not sure whether his phone is having the same issue.  My guess is that if other people are having this problem, they don't have any outstanding updates, so they aren't aware of it.  I know many people who make a habit of not updating apps have jailbroken devices and can install an app that hides the badge app icon.  I guess for now we need to wait it out and see if the problem fixes itself.  It's still annoying though.
    P.S.- I just noticed that on my phone if I search for a previously installed app, it just shows the price instead of giving me the option to "Install".  I can reinstall it by brining it up in the list of purchased apps, so it's just when searching for the app.  Also if I search for a currently installed app, it says "open" instead of showing the price, so it's only with previously intalled apps.  Whatever the issue, I hope it's fixed soon.

  • Why did iOS 7.x update affect iPad2 WiFi connection badly?

    After updating to iOS 7.x my iPad 2 has very weak WiFi connection. It only works at home from about 1 meter distance. Other devices find the connection without problems. In other places (office, areas with public free WiFi networks) iPad does not find the WiFi network at all. Seems this problem is only with iPad2, newer  Apple HW does not seem to have the same problem.
    I have tried all fix ideas I've managed to find, even resetting back to factory settings. I have also installed all available updates to the operating system. Nothing works. Any idea what has been changed in the iOS sw that affects the WiFi this way? Any fix expected from Apple?

    After updating to IOS 7.1.1, the Wi-Fi on my iPad 2 behaved normally.

  • Why did my latest (manual) update change my version from 14.1.2.x64 to 14.2.1 x32? And why don't I have all the wonderful tools mentioned in the "25 Hottest Features of Photoshop CC" article in the latest Photoshop User magazine?

    I realize it's a long title, but I wasn't sure if I was going to get more room.
    I contacted LiveChat (11:30 EST) and I was told I would have to come back next week - the Adobe Support people were gone for the day (or weekend).
    Since I am a monthly Photoshop CC subscriber, I thought updates were automatic. Is the magazine article really talking about CC(2014)?
    thanks,
    len

    a) I don't know if the update went wrong because I don't know what the correct current version number is. But my Bridge seems correct (6.1.0.116 x64), as does my Camera Raw (see letter c) below). When I do an update, I am told that all my programs are up-to-date. I will admit that I have not checked my Light Room 5.
    b) Based on the Photoshop User magazine, I am missing at least these (all I've tested for so far):
         o  Flame & Tree generators
         o  Select-->Focus Area
         o  Blur Gallery (incl Spin & Path blur)
    c) But I do have these:
         o  Camera Raw as a Filter
         o  Camera Raw Radial Filter
    d) I am using Photoshop CC subscription on an HP desktop computer with 6GB memory.
    Once again, it would be great to know what the correct current version numbers are.
    thanks, len

  • Why did the Apple TV update remove "home movies" from the computer option in Apple tv?

    AApple TV auto updated.  22 sept 2014.  Most of the movies I have on my iMac were under itunes as "home movies".  The Apple TV update removed the ability to see home movies in the "computer" option in Apple tv.   I can see them on my iMac, but no longer have access thru my Apple tv.  I can still see the few that are physically in "movies" in iTunes, but the Apple TV will now only show them.  Thanks

    Hello bernsteinr,
    It sounds like an issue with Home Sharing. Check out the article below for more information on getting Home Sharing working again so you can see all the movies that you have on your iMac show up on your Apple TV.

  • Why did my os8.2 update back to os8.1 10/22/14

    YYesterday I updated my iPhone 6 & my iPad air to os 8.1 I was at os 8.2. Anybody have the same problem?

    There is no 8.2. iOS 8.1 was just released two days ago to upgrade 8.0.2.

  • Suddenly, the security warnings have changed. The look, the option to temporarily allow data from a site, and videos are playing automatically. Is there a way to restore default settings? Did the most recent update jusdt change how these items work?

    Is there a way to reset items so they appear as they did last week?

  • Why did I get charged 7 dollars to exchange an item?

    So, I ordered Game of Thrones Season 1 from Bestbuy. I paid 12 dollars for shipping to get it quickly. They messed up my order and I got Season 2 instead. I went to my local Bestbuy to get it and the girl there said that I owed 7 dollars for some reason. I was in a rush and didn't have much time, so I just paid. I'm kind of mad because I don't think I should have paid that. /: 

    Good afternoon thenerdal,
    Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting your issue with your Game of Thrones order! As someone who is thrilled to have this show being part of my Sunday night routine, I can understand why you would be in such a rush to get your hands on the first season. I’m sorry to hear that you seemed to have received the second season my mistake.
    Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to review the receipts and your order. Due to the manner in which the store performed the exchange, unfortunately it appears you were charged the difference between season one on Blu-ray and season two on DVD.
    That being said, I was also able to review your order, and have some further information for you that I am going to share with you via private message. You can check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. Why?

    My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. What do I do?

    Hey Manaskala,
    First point of call on all grey screen issues is the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Given this issue has appeared after a software update, I'd advise you do the following instead though:
    1. Get an external hard drive, with enough space to put the entire hard drive of your Mac onto. Make sure you've safely copied any data you have off of it, as the next step will erase it.
    2. In the recovery HD of your machine, use Disk Utility to format you EXTERNAL hard drive with the partition table as GUID, and the format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    3. Get out of Disk Utility, and click Reinstall Mac OS X.
    4. When asked where, choose to install onto your external hard drive.
    5. When the download and installation is complete, your Mac will reboot into a clean fresh setup screen. Make your user account an administrator, and make up a name and password; I use 'Test' and 'test'.
    6. Your machine is now running from the external hard drive, not the internal hard drive, so don't be alarmed when you don't see your files.
    7. Open the finder, you should see 'Macintosh HD' in the sidebar. This is the internal hard drive of your computer.
    8. Open Macintosh HD, and copy out the following folders into a new folder on your desktop:
    -Users.
    -Applications.
    -Library. (This only needs to be done if you use 3rd party software that saves things in the /Library, do a quick google and see if it does e.g. Photoshop, Protools).
    9. When these have copied (it'll take quiet a while), you can now use Disk Utility to erase your hard drive. Don't erase Macintosh HD but the ENTIRE hard drive on the inside of your Mac, and as Thomas A Reed mentioned, there was likely an existing issue on your HDD so please go to Security Options and choose 'Zero Out' before clicking erase. This will rebuild the partition table which was a possible cause of the failed update.
    10. Reboot the machine holding 'Option', go to recovery HD.
    11. Choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X', this time onto your INTERNAL hard drive.
    12. When this is complete, make another admin user called test and password test, like you did last time.
    13. Run Software Update from the  menu of your Mac.
    14. In the Finder, you should see your external Hard Drive. open it up, inside that you should see your desktop etc, and on the desktop will be your folder containing Library, Applications and Users.
    15. Go to Finder up next to the  and choose File -> New Finder Window.
    16. In your second finder window, open up Macintosh HD (through the Go -> Computer menu), and go to your Users folder.
    17. Open the Users folder in your first finder window, and copy your user folder (has your name on it) into the second user folder (the one inside Macintosh HD).
    18. This might take a while.
    19. When complete, go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups and unlock the padlock.
    20. Click the '+' sign, and make a new administrator user.
    21. Now, the fun bit. Note the name of your user folder you copied, e.g. 'Nathan', containing all of your stuff. Note the difference between your user folder (has your name on it) and the Users folder (contains YOUR user folder, guest folder and shared folder).
    22. Make the ACCOUNT NAME of your new adminstrator user the EXACT name of your user folder (normally lower case and without spaces), this is case sensitive folks. Your full name can be whatever you want, usually your full name.
    23. Then click create. You should be informed that a home folder with that name in it already exists in the Users folder, would you like to make your new account from that folder? say YES!
    24. When this is complete, log out of the Test user, log into your new account we've just made, all your stuff should be there.
    25. ???????
    26. Profit.
    There's a few little bits that may need to be cleaned up afterwards, applications folder from your external hard drive should replace the applications folder on your internal hard drive, if the previously mentioned /Library folder contained important goodies then that should replace the /Library folder on your new Mac.
    Hopefully that will help you out, straight after that is done make sure your stuff is there, erase your external hard drive and turn on time machine!
