Incompatible Software Folder On Mac
What are iOS software updates?
iOS software updates are files that you download every time you want to update the software of your iPhone, iPad or iPod via iTunes. After your device has been updated, you don’t need the file you downloaded and thus you can remove it and free up a significant amount of space on your Mac. And in case you need to use such file again, you can re-download it just like you did it for the first time.
- You’ve no doubt heard the infamous line “have you tried turning it off and on again?” It.
- Restart your Mac. If the problem recurs, the last Startup Item returned to the StartupItems folder was the culprit. Check with the vendor for updates or uninstall the related third-party application and report the problem to the vendor. Repeat steps a-c until all objects removed from the StartupItems folder have been restored.
How to remove old iOS firmware files from Mac manually?
I just updated to 10.10.3 today and got this warning about incompatible software: I got the same warning during the 10.10.2 upgrade. I once had Trim Enabler installed and got a failure during upgrading to Yosemite, so I disabled it rather than deal with the kext signing issue.
iOS update files can be found at ~/Library/iTunes, where '~' is your Home folder. Notice, that software updates differ for different devices. That means that, for instance, the iPad firmware files will be kept at ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates, while you will find the same files for iPhone in ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates.
