Why does Software Update want to install ProKit Update when I don't have any of the listed apps?
Software Update just prompted me to install ProKit Update 7.0. I don't have any of the applications listed in the description. I searched for each with Spotlight just to make sure. My Macbook has only a clean install of Snow Leopard, Microsoft Office 2008, and Xcode 4.0.2. Why am I being prompted to install this update?
Extracted from the description: This update is recommended for users of Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Final Cut Express, Logic Pro, MainStage, Logic Express and iAd Producer.

It doesn't check whether any of those applications are installed. All Macs come with iPhoto. You may have removed it, but SU doesn't know that.
I do not have iPhoto installed and it was never installed. iPhoto is part of iLife, which is on disc #2. I slicked the disk and did a clean install of Snow Leopard using only disc #1. I am surprised that Software Update doesn't check what is installed so it knows what update to install, I thought that was the whole point of Software Update. It seems to know what hardware drivers are installed and will only install updates for those specific drivers. But fine with me, I will install that update.

I need to update my iPod software, but I don't want to if I'm going to loose all my music. I don't have any of the songs on my iTunes on my laptop because my laptop is new. I don't sync my ipod to my laptop for that reason.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The iPod will be updated too.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -
I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much
JaneApple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions. -
When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen. I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?
Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

Why does software update not allow installation of updates?
I am unable to install downloaded packages after running Software Update because of an "incorrect signature" issue. Dialogue says: Packages may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by Apple. The computer is a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.5.8. The updates are coming direct from Apple. What is going on?
Thanks!
Downloading the updates one at a time directly from the Apple website worked perfectly. I wish I knew why Software Update no longer functions properly, but having this work-around is good to know about. -
Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?
I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

Why does my sound say "headphones" when I don't have any headphones in?
I have a iPhone 4 and it's an 8GB phone, and it is updated to iOS 7.0.4. When I move the switch on the side that controls silent or ringer, it shows up on my screen saying "headphones" when I do not have headphones in. So basically I have no sound and only vibrate. But if I were to insert headphones there is sound through my ear piece as it normally should be. I had my phone in my bag and my water bottle in my bag spilt and I'm assuming I have this sound problem because it is water damaged but I'm not completely sure. I don't want to put my phone in rice, which I heard is what you're supposed to do when it is water damaged. But I don't want to because a rice can fit in the whole where you insert your headphones and I wouldn't want to get a rice stuck there. I also turned my phone off for more than 10 seconds just so it can reset, thinking maybe it was a temporary issue that could've been fixed by turning your phone off, but no, it is still broken. So how do I fix this? Is the only solution getting fixed at apple?
Also my speakers do not work. When I receive a notification, message, or call there is no ringer and when I answer a call I cannot hear the other line. So I am pretty sure I water damaged my phone. How do I fix this?

When I go into MY MAC and bring up the storage bar chart it is showing 250GB hard drive 190GB of space 6.5GB of photos (i do not have any photos stored) 182GB of APPS (i only have what came with the laptop + I have only downloaded no more then 5GB of other APPS) the APPS green bar has grown by 10GB today even when the laptop was turned off????? any help??
many thanksNormally in most cases such as yours, reindexing Spotlight will correct the problem. Try it again.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716
This seems to be a common problem with Yosemite.
If that does not correct the problem, you may try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
http://web.archive.org/web/20140711222006/http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(This is a guess on my part. No harm can come to the MBP performing these resets.)
The last option is a reinstall of the OSX.
May I assume that the overall amount of data is correct? If not, then we will have to look at OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective.

Ok in my setting all sharing with computers on my local conection is off....yet my fianes computer still can get into my library why?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match doesn't provide movies or TV shows.
Depending on where you are located you may be able to download purchesed content from iTunes in the cloud. Content that is streamed from your library obviously needs your computer to be on or otherwise it wouldn't have access to that content, there is no alternative to this. -
Why does my memory use always max out and lock up. iPhoto and iTunes are the only apps open.
I also upgraded the momory to 8 gig and the problm is on going
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts? Click on the Disk Usage tab, how much free space?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -
