  after FCP 7 install – no updates available

  Posted by Manolo Sanchez on May 13, 2010 at 11:54 pm

  hello,

  I installed FCS 3 and after that I cannot do Sofware updates on my MacBook Pro (10.5.8) anymore.

  I got “Your Software is up to date”. This cant be true. FCS is not updated and before I installed it I have several updates which I didnt do (QT is stil 7.6.4 for example).

  Can anybody advise me how to solve this? I did a backup with time machine before I install FCS3 so maybe that could help ending the trouble.

  thank you
  manolo

  P.S. also Dropbox is not updating the website anymore

  does nobody know how to solve this? I think it might be some logfile of Software update or so. I just dont know how to find it.

  thank you

  hi Craig,

  that was it, thank you.
  First I didn’t quite understand what you mean, but that is how I did it finally.

  right. good idea to run “Repair Disk Permissions” (of the Startup Disk)
  before and after any major installation or whenever you experience weird behavior. of course cloning your system drive is also a good idea (before a major change). run repair before the backup.
