Well, I was traveling last few months, so that last upgrade I did was sometime in last year.]]> http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/software-upgrade-10401/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/cant-update-qt-pro-7-6-4-to-7-6-6-9210 http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/cant-update-qt-pro-7-6-4-to-7-6-6-9210#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:56:31 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/124387-cant-update-qt-pro-764-to-766/
The problem: Software Update didn't update QT Pro during the 10.6.3 go around. So I downloaded the standalone QT 7.6.6 installer and it tells me "QuickTime can't be installed this disk because QT X is already present". So, I move QT X onto the desktop and I still get the same results.

So, how do I update QT 7 Pro?????]]> http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/cant-update-qt-pro-7-6-4-to-7-6-6-9210/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-10-6-2-9028 http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-10-6-2-9028#comments Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:31:27 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/123112-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-10-6-2/
Just so you know I have a late 2008 Unibody Aluminum Macbook that I bought about a month before they started calling it a Macbook Pro and adding the light up keys and whatnot. It was running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 before I upgraded.

Thanks for any help you can offer!]]> http://isnotabug.com/business-and-it/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-10-6-2-9028/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/osx-server-10-5-7-10-5-8-8859 http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/osx-server-10-5-7-10-5-8-8859#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:05:14 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/122500-osx-server-1057-1058/
When I did a software update to 10.5.8, the machine would no longer boot.

It did boot off of the DVD, so I took it to the Genius Bar and they found the raid broken and did something to make it boot. But the raid was not active, but that is ok.

The boot drive was then at 10.5.8 so the update must have worked, but the mirror drive showed 10.5.7. his was probably the problem.

I unplugged the mirror drive so no interference would occur. It booted fine.

Like a fool I tried another update: Quicktime, iTunes and a security Update for 10.5.8

Now it again won't boot.

I am not server trained not a Unix guy, so I am struggling.

Any advice of what to do or where to go for answers or information?

The Genius bar folks don't want to support Server software problems!

Thanks,
Bill]]> http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/osx-server-10-5-7-10-5-8-8859/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/mac-help/quick-time-isnt-quick-8807 http://isnotabug.com/mac-help/quick-time-isnt-quick-8807#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 03:30:39 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/122259-quick-time-isnt-quick/ Why won't Quick Time install?

I went to Software Update on my Mac this
morning and it wasn't listed as an available download.

Can/should I force a download through Apple's site (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL975) ? If I try to force it, am I putting
my system at any kind of risk ? I suspect I shouldn't pursue the issue.

Thanks a lot.]]> http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/my-2-16-ghz-macbook-pro-eligible-for-firmware-1-8-update-8270/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/mac-help/external-fw-drives-dont-mount-after-install-of-10-5-8-security-update-2009-006-6561 http://isnotabug.com/mac-help/external-fw-drives-dont-mount-after-install-of-10-5-8-security-update-2009-006-6561#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:54:27 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/119378-external-fw-drives-dont-mount-after-install-of-1058-security-update-2009-006/
I have OWC FW drives (one on the 400 bus and one on the 800 FW bus) running on a Mac Pro, dual 2.7 ghz PPC G5.

This problem is not solved by: Disconnecting, reconnecting the drives or restarting the computer.

System Profiler (Firewire) states "Unable to list any firewire devices" although they are properly connected and powered.

Both FW drives mount easily when connected to my MacBook Pro, so the issue is not with the externals or cables.

Any suggestions? I need these drives for backup and large file access, and am in a world of hurt right now.

Thanks in advance for any replies.]]> http://isnotabug.com/mac-help/external-fw-drives-dont-mount-after-install-of-10-5-8-security-update-2009-006-6561/feed 0 http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/updating-my-mac-os-x-to-10-5-6-6060 http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/updating-my-mac-os-x-to-10-5-6-6060#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:57:19 +0000 admin http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/117786-updating-my-mac-os-x-to-10-5-6/ http://isnotabug.com/mac-os-x/updating-my-mac-os-x-to-10-5-6-6060/feed 0
