Shared Calendar updates not appearing on iPhone ?
Hi folks. This is a conundrum ?? My wife has an iPhone SE and myself an iPhone 6s (both with latest iOS) Our son is a pilot living overseas. He shares his flying roster with us via Calendar. Until a couple of months ago the updates always appeared (through iCloud) on both our iMacs and both our iPhones. However a couple of months ago both iPhones stopped receiving his updates. But oddly both iMacs still received them. I have tried numerous ideas to return this to normal but failed. Both our iPhones use 4 Calendars (all linked to iCloud), our son’s being called DAVID. Then a couple of days ago I tried changing my iPhone Default Calendar from HOME to DAVID. His Roster immediately appeared on my iPhone. So I tried the same with my wife’s iPhone and bingo … same result. Then I changed them both back to Default HOME and both iPhones have retained the DAVID Calendar. None of this makes any sense to me and I wonder now if this has to be the process with every DAVID update ? Or does anyone know if something else needs adjusting to prevent this ?

Re: Install OS X updates & iOS updates on multiple Macs & Devices in your household
Thanks for the very informative guide on the ios and osx multiple unit updates Ronni. Some opportunity with the ios devices in my house but as they're not all the same, it's not fully transferable. Thanks for pointing that out. I've yet to go El Cap yet but will shortly when my Westnet resets. Kids have gobbled up all my months data and a 50GB top up as well!!

Can I put the > update file on the network and pick it up at each MBP and place strategically > in Finder to allow the update to happen on the other machines? > > Pete. Hi Peter, How to Install OS X updates on multiple Macs: There are a few ways to do this, I’ll list some below. The El Capitan installer downloads to your /Applications folder. A 6+ GB download a process that could take anywhere from minutes to days, depending on the bandwidth of your broadband connection. In 10.7 Lion and later, the installer’s icon appears in Launchpad once the download begins and a progress bar on the icon fills as the download proceeds. After it downloads, the installer launches automatically. But you’re not ready to install El Capitan yet, so choose Install OS X > Quit Install OS X to quit the installer for the time being. The App Store and Multiple Macs: One Way: If you have more than one Mac—each running Snow Leopard or later and signed in to the App Store with the same Apple ID—then once you download El Capitan on one, it will show up in the Purchased view on the others too. If you have bandwidth (and time) to spare, you can click Install on each Mac to download the El Capitan installer. (If your Macs use different Apple IDs in the App Store, you can choose Store > Sign Out, choose Store > Sign In, enter the other Apple ID, re-download El Capitan, and then repeat the procedure to sign in under the original account.) But why go to that bother? Another Way: It’s faster and easier to copy the installer from /Applications on the first Mac to the others using Mac OS X’s built-in File Sharing feature. (hint: look in System Preferences > Sharing) If you put the installer anywhere else—your Desktop, ~/Downloads, or wherever—it won’t be deleted after it runs. Even so, because that 6+ GB file is valuable, you should make a copy just in case the unexpected should happen. So, before you do anything else, you should either Command-drag the installer to move it from /Applications to another location (so it won’t be deleted automatically, no matter what), or Option-drag the installer to copy it to another location—preferably another volume—so if it is deleted, you’ll have a spare. Better Way: Create a Bootable Installation Volume, as I describe below. Although there are many ways to do this, the basic steps you’d want to follow are these: 1. On the Mac—the one where you’ll download the installer— open the App Store app. 2. Download El Capitan, as described above. 3. Copy the installer from /Applications onto the external media of your choice. To Create a Bootable Installation Volume NOTE: Your external thumb Drive or SSD drive or Hard Drive drive must be formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume with a GUID Partition Table. Make a Bootable El Capitan Installer Volume: El Capitan doesn’t include or require boot media. But you might want to have a bootable copy of the installer as a backup, to simplify installing El Capitan on multiple Macs, to install El Capitan on a Mac without Snow Leopard or later, or for other reasons. One option is a command-line tool called createinstallmedia that is buried inside the El Capitan installer (and thus a method that Apple officially sanctions). Using this tool does require mucking around in Terminal—and won’t work in Snow Leopard or earlier—but if you’d like to learn how to use it, go to this Macworld article How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive <http://www.macworld.com/article/2981585/operating-systems/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-installer-drive.html>, by Dan Frakes. El Capitan has already had a update 1o.11.1 but NO Combo Update yet (& as every WAMUG member should know - I always prefer to update using OS X Combo Updates) Download iOS Updates Once for Installing on Multiple Devices: iOS is more involved / convoluted Take Particular NOTE: The iOS devices must be of the same type and model, meaning three different iPhone 4s can use the same firmware, but an iPhone 4 can’t use the same update file as an iPad 2 would, and an iPod touch can’t use an iPhone 4S update file, and so on. Same models use the same IPSW, different models need different IPSW. "Updating iOS with firmware is slightly more technical, but can be advantageous for users who are installing the same update onto multiple same-model devices, which is fairly common in offices and various scale enterprise deployment situations. Additionally, using IPSW for an update can be necessary for mor

Fortunately for me, the older version remains on my system on a different hard disk. Cheers, Pat The best way to deal with .rtfd files is the lowly TextEdit. This totally underestimated application is on everyone's Mac, and uses .rtfd as its default file format. You can created PDFs directly from it via the Print Menu (Save as PDF), but you can also save in Word format, which can then be read by any version of Pages. TextEdit is a very capable word processor in its own right, and is more than enough for many routine word processing tasks. Like many other apps that come supplied with your Mac, it is often overlooked when looking for a solution. The latest version of Pages is actually 5.1, and has many more features and increased compatibility than 5.0.1. When Pages 5 is installed on your Mac, existing versions such as Pages 4 are not removed. the changes were seen as necessary because of the lack of file and feature compatibility between the Mac and iOS devices such as the iPad. Apple have promiser that they are working towards most of the features we were used in version 4. I notice that the ability to swap between Word Processing and Desktop Publishing modes has also returned, but as far I know this has not been documented.

Opinion's sought on iPad's history with software updates
Hi, I am wondering if I and many others are being told a load of rubbish by some people at my daughter's schools IT department. The problem is that every pupil in entire school has to have an iPad 4, 32 Gb for next year. Now my daughter's, both have iPads, an iPad 2 16Gb and an iPad 2 32GB, but the school has said in a Dear Parents instruction letter : Can I get an iPad2 or iPad3? a. No. With the release of the iPad 4, this becomes the NEW iPad. Because students will be using them for two ‐ three years they will want the most up to date version to 'last the distance', especially if Apple continues to release frequent updates, as has happened recently. Also, Apple often only supports software updates for the more recent versions. For example, the last iOS update was not available for the iPad 1. I will be honest and say I know absolutely nothing about the iPads, but it seems a bit of stretch to say that Apple would not be supporting updates for an iPad that was only introduced in the last couple of years, without an almighty consumer backlash. And from the little that I have read, am I correct in thinking that apart from the retina screen, the new chip, and the new plug, there was very little difference between the iPad 3 and the 4? I am just concerned that I might be spending in excess of $1500, plus insurance for two new iPad's that are not really required, if the existing iPad 2's work and the people in IT department are windoz trained and learning Mac's at my expense. Anyone have any thoughts on this or is aware on Apples policy regarding software support for iPads? Thanks. Take care. Matt Falvey. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: Opinion's sought on iPad's history with software updates
Number of issues here Matt, I have an iPad 1. I cannot upgrade to iOS6. Does it gripe me that Apple have stopped supporting a machine that is less than two years old? Yes it does. Am I markedly worse off as a user for sticking to iOS5? Probably not, at least my Maps app work!! :-) Is there a consumer backlash? Well, yes, but we just grumble and put up with 'this is the way Apple is'. The truth is that this is the way Apple has always been - bringing on new hardware and software that after not very long does not run on the older machines. Not long after I bought my Mac Plus in 1987, I needed to look to the upgrades available. Many Many machines later I am resigned to this being the price we pay, again and again. :-( Is the school reasonable in their dictum? Schools like things to be kept simple and easy. Take the school booklist. Okay, open your book to page 34. Oh, but Miss, my copy it's page 45, we bought it cheap at Woolies and not off the school booklist. Miss I can't use these in my folder, we bought three ring folders. Schools like things simple and consistent. I imagine they think they are trying to be helpful in dictating iPad4, so your daughters aren't made out to be different in class. Is this reasonable? Obviously from the schools perspective it is. Could it be different? Sure. I've no idea what apps the school is suggesting the iPads use for in class. Facebook works on iOS5 just as well as iOS6 Are there other apps teenagers use??? :-) A bad example perhaps. The school would be sensible to have a more flexible policy and say for example, your iPad needs to run iOS 6. Into the future, this standard may be upgraded at which time another device may need to be purchased if any device but an iPad4 is used. I'm thinking comment and feedback to the school council is in order, asking for a revision or at least more technically sound explanation of this dictum. Whether it's a private school or not, you've got a right to ask for a better explanation and to lodge your disagreement with the policy. My 2c worth.

Re: Opinion's sought on iPad's history with software updates
it runs on an iPad Gen4 ok, as that is what it was designed around and tested on. If yours doesn't run it, I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade or your child/ren will get left behind I could way off the mark and completely wrong. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that (yet), though Andrew does love his iPad1 and and is more then happy with the apps on it. (one of which he is an App tester with,…LOL. Thankfully he hasn't asked for commission for app testing yet,…lol). That's just some thoughts that spring to mind. Hope some of that helps. (and doesn't offend, as it's not meant to). Oh side note,.Tim , when you do upgrade to a newer iPad then first thing you'll notice is the massive speed increase. I remember when I had an iPad1 and was setting up the (then) new iPad2 for a client I was like wow, this thing is so much faster! :o) I wanted one!!

Facebook works on iOS5 just as well as iOS6 Are there other apps teenagers use??? :-) A bad example perhaps. The school would be sensible to have a more flexible policy and say for example, your iPad needs to run iOS 6. Into the future, this standard may be upgraded at which time another device may need to be purchased if any device but an iPad4 is used. I'm thinking comment and feedback to the school council is in order, asking for a revision or at least more technically sound explanation of this dictum. Whether it's a private school or not, you've got a right to ask for a better explanation and to lodge your disagreement with the policy. My 2c worth.

The problem is that every pupil in entire school has to have an iPad 4, 32 Gb for next year. Now my daughter's, both have iPads, an iPad 2 16Gb and an iPad 2 32GB, but the school has said in a Dear Parents instruction letter : Can I get an iPad2 or iPad3? a. No. With the release of the iPad 4, this becomes the NEW iPad. Because students will be using them for two ‐ three years they will want the most up to date version to 'last the distance', especially if Apple continues to release frequent updates, as has happened recently. Also, Apple often only supports software updates for the more recent versions. For example, the last iOS update was not available for the iPad 1. I will be honest and say I know absolutely nothing about the iPads, but it seems a bit of stretch to say that Apple would not be supporting updates for an iPad that was only introduced in the last couple of years, without an almighty consumer backlash. And from the little that I have read, am I correct in thinking that apart from the retina screen, the new chip, and the new plug, there was very little difference between the iPad 3 and the 4? I am just concerned that I might be spending in excess of $1500, plus insurance for two new iPad's that are not really required, if the existing iPad 2's work and the people in IT department are windoz trained and learning Mac's at my expense.

Repeated Mac App Store Updates
Hello all Advice please on what do do about duplicates Updates from the App store. I downloaded and installed updated iPhoto '11 (ver 9.3.2) and iMovie '11 (ver 9.0.7) on Thursday after Mountain Lion upgraded from Snow Leopard. These were included in the standard Software Update run after ML installed. This evening the Mac App app displayed a badge signifying 2 updates available. Yes, the same iPhoto and iMovie versions. I clicked on Update All and they started to download (over 1 GB each). I then Paused the download. Launchpad now shows them as paused. Info under the App store purchases tab is more confusing. It shows I purchased iPhoto on 16 May 2011 (true, v 9.1.3) and iMovie on 5 September 2011 (true, v 9.0.4) and a resume label. There is no indication of the updates downloaded on 2 August 2012. Is this normal? A further mysterious thing is that the tab shows OS X Mountain Lion purchased on 1 August 2012 - but with the download label highlighted, not the expected installed label. What should I do? I feel the files are too big just to download and see what happens. I feel there is something significantly wrong if the App store cannot tell I already have the updates. And I don't want to download another ML installer!

Re: Repeated Mac App Store Updates
Hi Alan, When you looked in the Purchases tab of the App Store, OS X Mountain Lion will quite often show up with a button labelled Download. That is because once you have run the ML installer it will delete itself and thus the App Store does not see it in your Applications directory. You can ignore this. It is only when you see and OS update in the Updates tab that you need to pay it attention. This would be when a new point release, say OS X 10.8.1, or a security update comes out. As for iPhoto and iMovie there could be a problem there if it is attempting to download the same update over and over. It is quite normal for the the Purchases tab to display only the purchase date of an application and not when it was last updated. When an update is offered, you can normally see the version of the update and the version of the currently installed version so it is usually clear why the update is being offered. Now that you have started the updates, I suggest you let them finish downloading, install them and see if the badges on the App Store app go away. If not post back as further investigation will be needed.

Re: Repeated Mac App Store Updates
Hi Alan, Apps downloaded through the App Store will clean up after themselves so no further action is required. If you download a free application on a disk image (.dmg file), the usual procedure is: 1) Mount the disk image, usually by double clicking on it in Finder. 2) Drag the app from the disk image to the Applications folder. 3) Eject the disk image by right clicking on it in the Finder sidebar and selecting Eject. 4) Delete the .dmg file. Sometimes a disk image will not eject because you are viewing its contents in Finder or have, say, a README file from the image open. You can in these circumstance select Force Eject when offered the option. For software that I purchase and download from sources other than the App Store, I usually keep a copy of the .dmg (or .pkg, or .mpkg) file, along with the serial number and any activation codes. This is not necessary for App Store purchases as the activation key is basically your Apple ID and you can again download the software from the App Store if required.

Re: Repeated Mac App Store Updates
Hi Carlo Both iPhoto and iMovie downloaded (and installed) normally after resuming the App Store update process. But Finder shows both apps have the original 2 August installation dates (both the Added and Modified fields). So it appears the new downloads were just abandoned when they found there was nothing to do! I won't tempt fate and re-index the iPhoto library tonight. Got to save some problems for tomorrow. Thanks also for the disk image installation process. I don't think I ejected the onyX file properly which probably explains the in use message from Trash. Can't recall now, but probably a similar operator error with yesterday's NeoOffice Trashing problem too.

If you download a free application on a disk image (.dmg file), the usual procedure is: 1) Mount the disk image, usually by double clicking on it in Finder. 2) Drag the app from the disk image to the Applications folder. 3) Eject the disk image by right clicking on it in the Finder sidebar and selecting Eject. 4) Delete the .dmg file. Sometimes a disk image will not eject because you are viewing its contents in Finder or have, say, a README file from the image open. You can in these circumstance select Force Eject when offered the option. For software that I purchase and download from sources other than the App Store, I usually keep a copy of the .dmg (or .pkg, or .mpkg) file, along with the serial number and any activation codes. This is not necessary for App Store purchases as the activation key is basically your Apple ID and you can again download the software from the App Store if required.

That is because once you have run the ML installer it will delete itself and thus the App Store does not see it in your Applications directory. You can ignore this. It is only when you see and OS update in the Updates tab that you need to pay it attention. This would be when a new point release, say OS X 10.8.1, or a security update comes out. As for iPhoto and iMovie there could be a problem there if it is attempting to download the same update over and over. It is quite normal for the the Purchases tab to display only the purchase date of an application and not when it was last updated. When an update is offered, you can normally see the version of the update and the version of the currently installed version so it is usually clear why the update is being offered. Now that you have started the updates, I suggest you let them finish downloading, install them and see if the badges on the App Store app go away. If not post back as further investigation will be needed.

Hi People, Apple has released iPhoto ’11 9.3.2, a small update that brings that brings compatibility to the sharing new features in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. In addition to performance and stability improvements, the update now enables you to share photos via Twitter as well as Messages (Mountain Lion’s replacement for iChat). ($14.99 new from the Mac App Store, free update through Software Update or the Mac App Store, 669.7 MB via Software Update or 637 MB via Apple’s support page) Amidst an onslaught of updates geared toward adding Mountain Lion compatibility to its slate of apps, Apple has released iMovie '11 9.0.7 with nary a mention of the big cat in its release notes. Instead, the update focuses on improving overall stability with fixes for preventing a crash that could be caused by third-party QuickTime components, previewing MPEG-2 video clips in the Camera Import window, and not including audio when importing MPEG-2 video clips from a camera. It also bundles the improvements — including support for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display — found in the last update (see iMovie ’11 9.0.6, 13 June 2012).

Re: Updates Dmg Files
Hi Brett Just to follow on from Ronni's, after checking the size is all correct a couple of things to try. Assuming you've repaired Permissions? You can also try removing these files (to the desktop) Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.uiagent Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.diskimages.fsck Remove those and restart and see how it goes. Also, rather then double clicking them to open, Open Disk Utility then from the File Menu see if you can Open them manually that way. I had hit this a couple of times before, but it was quite a while ago (as in about 10.4 I think, and it was to do with an iTunesX.plist Receipt file. But I can't find the links to it again. And another it was a corruption that occurred at the OS level, which was quite bad and had to reinstall the OS. Which wasn't too much of a big deal as it just overwrote what was there and correct the problem. You could also try reinstalling the last Combo Update for what you're running. If you're on 10.5, then that would be the 10.5.8 Combo Update and 10.6 would be the 10.6.8v1.1 Combo Update. Hope that helps. If no luck what are a few of the dmgs of? General updates? OS updates?

Re: Updates for things under Lion
Appleworks will never work as it is a PowerPC app, and Rosetta is not in Lion. You either have to set up.a dual boot system with 10.6 and 10.7, or look for alternatives such as iwork and bento.

Re: Updates for things under Lion
Hi localadmin, We covered this fairly thoroughly back in June. On 09/06/11 one post Re: Preparation for Lion from myself mentioned this: Prepare For Lion OS X 10.7 1. Make sure your Mac can run Lion: Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac. 2. Make sure you have the latest version of Snow Leopard. Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install the latest version. 3. Check your Applications A) Use System Profiler to check all your Applications. Go to About This Mac under the Apple Menu, and click the More Info button. This will launch System Profiler. Scroll down the list of contents at the left of the window until you get to the Software section and click on Applications. Give the list a few moments to populate, then look for your application in the list. Widen the window if necessary until you see the Kind column. You can sort this column by clicking on the column header to make searching easier. Any items labelled Classic or PowerPC will not work with Lion. ONLY Universal Intel will run in Lion OS X 10.7 B) Check all your Applications you might be running and see if they have updates. C) Clean Up your computer. Uninstall old software you no longer use or require (if you don’t have the uninstaller for the application, download use AppZapper (which is not free) http://www.appzapper.com/ or AppCleaner (free) http://appcleaner.en.softonic.com/mac I prefer using AppZapper to delete any applications. D) Delete any old files you no longer need. E) If you use any add-on software such as plug-ins for mail or programs that rely on input managers such as 1Password Google Desktop, make sure you have upgraded to Lion-compatible versions before you upgrade. 4. Download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. When OS X Lion is released in July, open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download it. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install Lion. DON’T FORGET: 1. Backup your system BEFORE installing 2. Repair Permissions before installing 3. Turn OFF Time Machine in System Preferences 4. Unmount Disconnect any External USB Firewire Drives / Time Machine 5. Run Software Update after installing 7. Repair Permissions 8. Connect your Backup Drive 9. Go to System Preferences Time Machine and Turn Time Machine ON Let Time Machine complete a backup. ** Apple warning for installing Updates: Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system. As I have said numerous times on WAMUG List “Do Not Upgrade if anything is amiss with your system”. As is the case with all upgrades/updates, if there’s anything at all amiss with your system before the upgrade/update, the upgrade/update is likely to expose them. —— Then Peter mentioned this about Appleworks: On 25/06/11 one post Re: Preparation for LION, from Peter Hinchliffe mentioned this: AppleWorks WP files - will open in Pages (iWork) AppleWorks Spreadsheet files - will open in Numbers (iWork) AppleWorks Database files - export as text files and open with Bento (www.filemaker.com) AppleWorks Drawing files - Open with Intaglio (http://www.purgatorydesign.com/Intaglio/) or Eazydraw (http://www.eazydraw.com/ - NOT the App Store version) AppleWorks Presentation files - will open in Keynote (iWork) Cheers, Ronni On 22/07/2011, at 1:07 PM, localadmin wrote: Yes Office 2004 so we are out of that not really that sad as I use iWorks mostly BUT would love to be able to use Appleworks any ideas??

Re: Installing updates
Hi Ronda. Thanks for your very detailed response. I tried the installer as you suggested but there is no sign of 'Disk Utility' on the instal disk at the stage you mention. So I installed 10.5 from the original disk anyway and archived the existing OS. It has allowed me to upgrade to 10.5.8 so at the very least the upgrade is working. But I will try again. Once I have chosen the language, it goes direct to choose options etc, ie erase and instal, or archive and instal etc, so there is no info on Disk Utility? This is with the two instal disks that came with the MacPro. Am I missing something? Thanks again Kind regards Jon On 01/09/2010, at 6:02 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Jon, A). Repair Disk. 1.

Note that Ronni pointed out that you must NOT click the Continue button in the first screen of the Installer (step 2 in her notes). Keep your eye on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. When the Installer menu first appears, that's when you will have access to Disk Utility. If you click Continue again, you'll go too far. Yes, this process could have been better designed, and if remember correctly it actually has been improved in the Snow Leopard Installer.

Re: updates for Ilife Iworks ?
Any time you like, Bill. And by the way get the box set of iWork, iLife and Snow Leopard for a very very good price. Got mine from Macs-4-u in Midland.

Re: updates for Ilife Iworks ?
Hi Bill, I would think iLife '10 possibly iWork '10 will be updated in the next 4-5 months. Macworld 2010 - February 9-13, 2010 might be a release date? . The updated versions I would expect take advantage of the new core services in Snow Leopard and be 64-bit. But that would mean they will only run on Snow Leopard. If you need iLife '09 iWork '09 the Mac Box Set is a good price. Otherwise wait until next year for the updated versions.

software updates
When installing Apple software updates it is often necessary to restart the computer. This becomes irksome if a separate restart is required for each of many updates.

Thanks for your advice Daniel. I was particularly thinking about manually downloaded updates which I then install on several computers.

Bob Hi Bob If you're installing them via Software update, then it will download all necessary ones at the same time, then restart. Sometimes, others will require a restart for that particular update then show more updates due to the previous install. For example. If you were running say 10.5.6 you will some some updates show up but you won't see more that required 10.5.8. From memory two of these is Java 10.5 Update 4 and Safari 4.0.3. They require 10.5.7 at least before they show up. So when you run Software Update you will see most of the update (including 10.5.8). Then once you've installed them, restarted and then Software Update opens again, it will show new updates to be installed (the above ones, of which Safari requires a restart). Others, such as Bluetooth Firmware Update and iMac EFI updates also require separate updates, as they adjust the Firmware for each individual Update. However If you manually download the Updates and install them manually themselves you can bypass this restart. The trick to it, is to install each update, but when it comes up saying to Restart, you just put this to one side and then run the next Update. An example of this would be the Digital Camera RAW Update 2.6 which requires a restart, or Airport Update. These come up and say Restart. But if I'm doing a lot of updates I will just run this, ignore Restart, then go to the next update. Once I've done all of them, then I click Restart and they all install and the computer restarts. Of course, there will still be more updates, that show to install, as per my first example above. But it does make the overall process a little bit faster. Especially if I've got three computers to set up before going out to clients. (Plus I have all the installs saved on disk, so it saves downloading over 1Gb of installs per each new computer!) :o) Hope that sort of answers your questions, or what you were referring to.

Re: software updates
Hi Bob Then the info after my however should be the way to go. :o) I use that here most of the time, and it works well. Just manually install them and don't click the Restart until you've done all of them. Though if it's a firmware update for anything (Bluetooth or EFI) I tend to do those each separately.

With some of these updates, yes I agree. But if they are all listed in Software Update, then surely you're doing the same thing it's doing,.it downloads all say 10 updates (even if 3 need restarts) all at the same time, then it restarts once, once all of them are upgraded. Doing it manually, surely would be doing the same thing? Happy to be proven wrong and change my method, but can't say I've ever had a problem yet. If it's an EFI or say Bluetooth Firmware Update then I'll do those separately to patch Firmware individually with a restart after each one.

You have the choice of installing these independently of those that don't. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Mob 0403 064 948 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. With some of these updates, yes I agree. But if they are all listed in Software Update, then surely you're doing the same thing it's doing,.it downloads all say 10 updates (even if 3 need restarts) all at the same time, then it restarts once, once all of them are upgraded. Doing it manually, surely would be doing the same thing? Happy to be proven wrong and change my method, but can't say I've ever had a problem yet. If it's an EFI or say Bluetooth Firmware Update then I'll do those separately to patch Firmware individually with a restart after each one.

Downloading Mac updates under Widows
At work, where I am forced to work on a M$ Windows computer, the Internet bandwidth is magnitudes faster than here at home. However, if I try to download updates for QuickTime and iTunes from the Apple site, I am only offered versions for varieties of Windows. Does anyone know of a way of getting Mac version updates for QuickTime and iTunes through a Widows computer? Otherwise I will have to do overnight downloads on the slow home link. -- Regards, Ray Forma 50 Harvest Road, North Fremantle WA 6159, Australia Tel Fax 61 (0)8 9335 6568 Mob 61 (0) 428 596938 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: Downloading Mac updates under Widows
Hi Ray, the easiest way without getting into Web browser user agents. Would be to use MacUpdate To download the updates QuickTime 7.6 (Leopard only) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7964/apple-quicktime iTunes 8.1 http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5661/apple-itunes Also you will require the Front Row Update as it stops working Kyle -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Bios updates?
I have purchased 512mb of SD ram 168 pin to fit in a 1 ghz eMac. The Ram doesn't show up in the eMac, but does offer 256mb when slotted into a few other G3s. The supplier suggests that I upgrade the bios Is upgrading the bios a Mac thing or just for PCs?

Re: Bios updates?
Hi Kevin, Thank God there is no Bios in any Mac. That would not have even been good advice from the vendor even if you had a PC, RAM is either right or wrong there is little adjustment available in any BIOS. Sounds like you have the wrong 'flavoured' RAM.

Re: Bios updates?
Kev , This link goes to a site that explains the numbering on some chips. Your chip might have some indication in addition to what you have sent ... maker name in particular. Part of that code may represent the maker but I do not recognise it .

Firmware updates
Since 9 April I've had eight automatic firmware updates from Apple. For example 2008-04-21 16:50:43 +0800: Installed iMac EFI Firmware Update (1.3) But the description on all of them seems the same.
