Update Questions
Why do you think 3 of my 9 computers in my classroom will not do a software update on the web? They start and go about three quarters of the way and fail to update and then update crashes. Please help.
Thanks!

Use the Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. Then try updating.
(Who said editing was easy?)

I’m guessing you’re talking about version 5.0.1 or 5.0.2? There has been a problem updating these on some machines. The only way I’ve been able to do it is to reinstall FCP5.
All the best,

You could also try to DL the standalone updater files from the Apple website.

Those seem to works sometimes, but on my PowerBook, they failed the same way software update failed.

What exactly does Repair Permissions mean and what does it do?
We need some software that has one button called fix or clean up, push it and all those tedious system level things are just done. Is this asking too much?

It’s like DISK FIRST AID. It repairs bad code in the operating system.
And having one button to push makes no sense. Issues can be one of a DOZEN different things.

The computers of today…ESPECIALLY Macs. They are the easiest.
And you are pressing one button to get the computer to self diagnose and repair itself…because it is comparing the code the way it is supposed to be, with the way it currently is. And if it differs, then it fixes it. Open you HARD DRIVE, open APPLICATIONS, open UTILITIES, open Disk Utility. Press Repai Permissions. You want it to be easier? Drag the Disk Utility to your Dock and when you need to repair, it is two click.
Capturing and editing video is NOT easy. Not a one button process and never will be. You want easy, use iMovie.
