I have 2 iMacs , both with the same processor speed and everything(got the best one) the problem is my left imac never updates unlike the right one. the right one always finds update to all my applications and i update them so i go on other mac to update it too but it shows everything is up to date, but it is not! it wont even let me open itunes because thats so outdated.
What do you think is the problem? This one has been causing random errors latly and im thinking of taking it too apple but im thinking if i get it replaced, will my registration key for iWork is go away , being forced to buy another one?
When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6.
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.
I am just updated to Mac OS X 10.5.8 so that I could use itunes. But now I get a message that says that to Open the latest version of itunes (that I just downloaded), I need I need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I've tried "updating existing software" in the Quicktime menu, but no updates are found. I've also been to the quicktime download page on apple.com and tried that, but no dice.
i just got a mac from my parents since my pc went down the other day. they have osx 10.2.8. i cant find any info on updates to the newer versions of osx. should i just buy 10.6 or do something else.
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?
So a while back I had final cut pro installed, and eventually deleted cause I no longer needed it. I used AppCleaner when removing to try and make sure I got it all.
Well every time I do a software update it wants to install "Pro Applications Update" and "Prokit Updates" Which are updates for final cut pro and its related apps.
Any idea how I can stop it from wanting me to install these updates for something I no longer have?
I am trying to install the new updates for Aperture and iPhoto. When I tell software updates to check for updates, it tells me all my software is current. I know there is a new version of Aperture and iPhoto because I installed them two days ago on a different computer.
I can't get the Firmware updates or any other software updates.I have an old MacBook (2006) which doesn't have an intel chip! and it keeps saying this: The Installer could not validate the contents of the CoreFP package.
Yesterday, I had to re-format my external hard drive so that it could be "recordable" within Pro Tools, which wasn't a major issue, I just had to move everything from my Lacie drive to another drive, do the format, and then throw it all back on. It took a little while but this also included moving my nearly 60gb itunes library. Now that it is on the newly formatted hard drive, itunes doesn't seem to be able to find the majority of the songs any more. I've tried changing the music folder and a few other things, and there is no way I'm going through and doing the "cant find music - click here to find it" palava. Is anyone aware of a way that you can "mass find" all of the music in any way other than starting the library again and adding all the music (I don't really want to lose all of my play counts and ratings if possible!)
I have a new MacBook Pro 13'. I already configured Icloud and I can find on maps devices sucha as Ipads, Iphones and Mac´s, but something is happened with my own MacBook Pro, I cant locate it on the Maps, I only see the image of the MacBook Pro and the instruction for locked it or send a message. I did all troubleshooting explained on support web page (location activevated on security, etc) and the problem still remains.Â
When downloading the new updates, is there a folder where these updates are stored in? Only problem is a new update which is like 500mb, we have 4 macs in the house and don't want to have to use up all our GB usage downloading this update 4 times.
I handle all the maintenance for three macs. My own mac Pro, my wife's Macbook Pro and my mother's iMac, all intel and purchased within the last year.
All are running OSX 10.5.8, except my mother's which is at 10.5.5. My mother lives in another state and she only has dialup.
Downloading a 60MB file takes all night when I'm there. Last update I did took me a week to download and I don't like tying my mother's phone up all night in case she needs to call an ambulance.
Is there a way I can download updates using software update and my cable modem to my Mac Pro and then burn them to DVD and install them on her machine?
Anyone know if Apple is going to update their Macbook line with LED displays, multi-touch, etc, or if the Macbook Pro's are getting an update anytime soon???
If I remember, it's usually about this time of year it happens.
There are two available now through Software Updater. Sorry, I didn't get a screenshot. One was Java for 10.5 and one was a Security Update. Approx. 47MB total. Restart was required, no problems with that.
When do you think that they will next be updated as I want to get one for university but am willing to wait for a little while.
Is there any chance they will be updated before Christmas? But my course I am going for is Civil Engineering and don't know if I will need programs that are windows only.
Are there any programs that can be used on a Mac that would be useful for that course?
I just got done reformatting my laptop and am in the lengthy process of installing all the updates (I have Tiger). Well Software Update is claiming there are no more updates available to me. But this is not true. Thats not true I have Safari 3.04! How do I make this thing realize there is updates to give me!
We have an eMac - OSX Version 10.3.9, 700MHz Power PCG4, 384MB. We need to update this as much as possible to accommodate a newer version of Office - now getting too many emails with attachments that are using more up to date software. What do I need to do?
ive managed to re-sleep-able-it after i turned off "wake for ethernet admin call", but now i updated to 10.5.6 and it just fails to sleep alltogether. it just stays awake..
I have a MacBook with OS X 10.5 and I was looking at some of the updates I had installed and wanted to delete some that were irrelevant and that I shouldn't have installed in the first place. Somehow I deleted everything in the "Installed Updates" list, I know they are still on the computer because when I check for updates nothing new shows up. Is there any way to repopulate this list with the updates I have installed and is there anyway to remove the ones that I downloaded too hastily or should I just carry on since it is not a major issue? Of course I did not have Time Machine up and running yet.
Every time my Mac checks for updates, it finds about 1.2gig of new instruments for Garageband and an iWeb update, but I don't use these and don't want to waste bandwidth on them. how to exclude these without always having to de-select them when downloading updates.
