OS X :: 10.5.8 Update Stalled At 'patching Files'
Aug 17, 2009
Apologies for the dedicated thread but I can't seem to find this particular issue in another thread and posting it in the 10.5.8 update discussion is unlikely to get me anywhere.I'm currently updating my workplace Mac Pro to 10.5.8... the update is currently sitting at "Patching Files" and hasn't progressed any further for over half an hour. The update isn't locked up in any way, there's no beachball, and the screens black out after 10 minutes or so of no mouse input, but nothing else is happening.
Is there anything I can do other than waiting it out? I'm pretty sure that yanking the power is going to do more harm than good..

My Lion download stalled during the download and now I can't continue the download. The message I now get is that the Lion download is "waiting". How do I continue the download or start a new Lion OS download?

Jpegs and other media files that I could open on my MBA now give me error messages when I try to open them. I have Flip4Mac, VLC, and Perian installed, and I had no problems opening these files prior to the latest OS update.I'm a relatively new Mac user. I've tried repairing disk permissions and running the maintenance scripts.

every software update is at least 50MBs nowadays so i got to thinking where these files actually go after they've been installed. is there a way to remove these files? i reckon there shouldn't be a problem since they've already been installed?

I think I must be missing a trick here, but how can I update my files to icloud without having to manually find the file and upload after any changes I have made on my Mac.I see drop box does this and indeed will allow many more file formats to be used, one of which is the universally useful .pdf format.My Iphone will update the changes automatically, I can't believe that the iCloud system won't let my Mac do the same.

I am trying to figure out where the files are located that are downloaded when you go through the "Software Update" function of OS X. I updated the software on my MacBook Pro this morning and I need to update the same files on my iMac and would prefer to copy the files from the MacBook to the iMac but I don't know where they are located, if anywhere ....Â
Yes, I could d/l them again on the other machine but I live out in the middle of nowhere and have satellite internet service, which if you aren't familiar, satellite internet is marginally better than dialup - at least compared to "city" internet options. The other issue, besides speed, is data allotment, I only get 475 mbytes in a 24 hour period with an exception from between 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM - during that time there isn't a bandwidth restriction. So, I can get up at 2:00 AM and start the d/l and go back to bed but I'd rather just copy them from one computer to the other, if that is possible.Â

Does anyone know if it is possible to download the Software Update files directly from Apple? Back when I used to work on Windows machines, I'd download Service Packs and burn them to CD, so I could avoid the time it took to download them for each individual machine that I set up. I would like to do the same for OS X. After a fresh install, there's always this 600+ MB file that takes forever to download. It would make my setup tasks and disaster recovery much quicker if I had the packages on CD.

I am cleaning up my MacBookPro and noticed there are a number of update files in my Applications folder. The files include: SuperDrive Update, Trackpad Firmware Update, MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update, MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update, Bluetooth Firmware Update, Adobe AIR Application Installer.
Do I need these files in my Application folder, or can I delete them?

For years I've used iTunes' "Create AAC version" .mp3 to .m4a feature in the advanced menu, primarily to reduce the file size of my many thousand mp3 songs.
Since the latest update to iTunes, whenever I do this now, the AAC version file size created by iTunes get larger, and makes the .m4a significantly bigger than an .mp3.
I understood the very point of an AAC/.m4a was to be a smaller sized file of an equivilent .mp3 while keeping a similar quality.
I know large artwork affects the file size, but this still happens regardless of artwork.
Does anyone know what's changed re this feature in this latest update?

Yesterday Apple released Safari 5.0.1 and Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0, but Software Update on my Mac makes me able to download only the first one (Safari 5.0.1) - which I did. Why can't it find the Multi-Touch Trackpad Update?
- My MacBook is fine (it's 13-inch, Mid 2009).
- My OS is fine (Mac OS X v10.6.4).
Sure, I can download it manually, BUT it makes me really annoyed if something on my Mac works not as good as it should.

I have problems since applying the latest security Update 2009-001 and Java 10.5 Update 3, I have 10.5.6 on the new unibody 2.4ghz and have completely lost the ability to connect to my wireless access point which is an apple airport extreme base station.
I can sometimes se the base station but cannot connect to it and sometimes cannot see it at all. I have three other apple computers at home all less then a year old running the same build of 10.5.6 but have not updated them and they all are fine.
This one was perfect untill I applied the update.
The machine I am having problems with is partitioned with windows 7 beta on it which has no problems connecting to the base station, which indicates that its not a hardware problem but more then likely the update which is causing the problem.
Is there a way to uninstall the last update or delete it? Any one with a similar problem or know how I can fix it, I have googled but cannot seem to find anyone with similar problems.

I was wondering whether to update the nvidia drivers from time to time, is this done through and included in the normal 'software update' from the top-left apple menu bar or do I have to go to the nvidia site and manually update each time?

I updated with the latest Lion patch yesterday and since then Entourage has either hung or taken a very long time to update from our 2003 Exchange server (I have MS Office 2011 but as you're probably aware, there are issues integrating with a 2003 Exchange server). how this might be fixed, short of updating both our 2003 Windows Server to Windows Server 2008 x64 and Exchange to 2010 so I (the only Mac user out of 85 staff) can use Outlook 2011?

If I create a smart playlist in itunes and deselect live updating then how exactly does the smart playlist load up?
The reason I ask is that started setting up Smart Playlists for all of the artists on my computer and they're all set to live update which is consequently slowing down my itunes. I realize that I may not necessarily need that. My question is though...how exactly would I go about manually updating a smart playlist that has live updating turned off?

Started the 10.7.4 install, and it halted. Turned my Mac off, started it back up, and apparently the 10.7.4 update didn't install, but it has caused the Mail function to not work AT ALL - I get a long error report that is auto sent to Apple.Â
I downloaded Lion from the Apple store, but have my Snow Leopard disk. How do I go about re-installing Mail?Â

A Brother printer update has just appeared in my Software Update, to my surprise.
I actually thought Apple had stopped offering Software Update to third parties, as the only other one I can think of is the Stuffit update that appeared several years ago on fresh installs of OS X (not sure if it still does).
