OS X :: "Software Update" Doesn't Find Updates?

Apr 5, 2008

yesterday, I did the following:

I did a full backup at noon with CCC 3.0.1 on my external drive.
In the evening I planned to replace my MBP's internal hard drive with a new 320GB one. But before I updated to the new Updates available (Quicktime 7.4.5, iTunes 7.6.2, Frontrow... etc). I don't know why I did it, I guess I forgot that my backup wouldn't include that, or that I wanted to replace my hard drive at all

Anyway, I replaced the HD successfully and restored the CCC created backup with my Leopard DVD via Disk Utility.

When I booted everything was the same as it was at noon, except that LittleSnitch reseted it preferences somehow, no big deal.

But now I can't use Software Update anymore. iTunes itself reports, that a new update is available and then starts Software Update, but Software Update says "everything is up to date".

I checked /Library/Updates which only included an index file (deleted it).
I searched for all Software Update .plists and deleted them, even Software Update's .log file (so it can't show me anymore which software it had updated).

Has anyone of you experienced something similar and knows a fix for this?

OS X :: Software Updates - Where To Find

Nov 19, 2007

So after upgrading to Leopard I'm having a problem with the most unexpected thing... Software Update.

Right after the install I updated to 10.5.1, updated QuickTime, RDC and iTunes.

Now, however, every time I run Software update I quickly get the window that says "New software is available for your computer", but no updates are listed and the Install button is "greyed out".

Going to Software Update properties I see: Last attempt: Failed. Error occurred while checking. Monday, November 19, 2007 2:07 AM.

OS X :: Software Update Doesn't Show The Latest Multi-Touch Trackpad Update?

Jul 29, 2010

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.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Software Update Always Says No Updates?

Mar 14, 2012

It has been almost one month since my MBP (mid 2010) getting a strange issue, that the Software Update always say NO UPDATES, even if there are many updates available. I guess this began since I updated my MBP to Mac OSX Lion Update 1.7.3 (Client Combo). FYI, the App Store can run (download new app or updates) without problem, and I can browse or send/receive mails without problem.

OS X :: Software Update Failed To Check For Updates?

Mar 22, 2010

I've been working on a FireWired External Drive and Software update installed some SnowLeopard/midi/audio updates on the external drive. I then restarted going into the Mother ship that also has SnowLeopard to bring that up to date.

When i checked for updates using the software update there is message that sezs :

"Failed to check for update. There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."



I am on line posting this message so it can't be an Internet server problem on the Mother ship ( the main Macintosh hard drive ).


What does that message really mean and how do i fix that?

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Software Update Not Getting 10.7.3 Updates?

Feb 13, 2012

Our software update service is not downloading the 10.7.3 updates. I have updated the server to 10.7.3 but it made no difference. I have start/stopped the service a few times - it as downloaded  a load of multilingual voices post date 7th Feb 2012 and the Security updates for Snow Leopard post date 2//2/2012 just not the 10.7.3 updates. Do Apple put a delay in the server to try to spread the demand on bandwidth?

Clients are updating fine from the server all other services working normally.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Software Update Not Installing Updates?

Apr 19, 2012

I recently purchased Lion and was excited to install from the app store. Purchased and it appears to be downloading but stops about 3/4 of the way through and I get an "NSPortTimeoutException" error.  I tried downloading a simple free app and same situation. I ran disk utility and hard drive is fine.  I had no issues with running software update until recently. I thought this may be the problem so I ran software update again.  I gives details regarding several updates. When I attempt to install the updates, I immediately get a prompt to restart my computer. I run software update again and the same list of updates come up.  The updates are not being downloaded or installed.  My Internet connection is fast and reliable.

OS X Yosemite :: Repeated Update Available Notices For Installed Updates

Dec 12, 2014

My computer keeps notifying me that updates available when they've already been installed and are listed as installed. 

The Command Line Tools, for instance, are listed as installed a half dozen times or so, yet it's cosnattly being offered as an available update. The list of updates available for the computer keeps growing, but they're all installed. Update All or Update will run and go through the process, but the list never clears. 

How do I get Updates to work properly and recognize what updates are already installed?

Apr 17, 2012

My daughter is planning to update her Leopard system to Snow Leopard.  She will buy the disc and proceed with the install.  Will she need to install each of the updates from 10.6 to 10.6.8 individually using software update?   Or can she simply use the combo updater?  I installed each when it appeared, so am unsure as to what to tell her about doing it all at once.

OS X :: Software Update Can't Find The Update Server?

Apr 14, 2009

I got some eMacs for cheap and am currently cleaning them up.

When I try to run Software Update on them, I get the message that says "Software Update can't find the update server. Make sure you are connected to the internet, then try again."

These computers are definitely connected to the internet as I can browse from them.
Is it possible that they are looking for an old update server?

They're running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8.

I've tried deleting the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file as described here but that didn't work.
