I am trying to figure out why I am unable to run the software updates on an OSX 10.3.9 machine. I am behind a proxy that is not blocked (confirmed by proxy admin) When I run the update on 10.4.X and above (on the same network) I have no issues.
It will start the update then prompt me to authenticate. In watching the proxy the update send the request through the proxy as annomous.
is their a way that I can tell the OS what credentials to use or force it to prompt for log in info. Also I noticed that when 10.3.9 starts the update I hear a faint beep and then it will hang for a while then fail.
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.
A security update (from like March or something) and Safari 5 just simply won't install. They are both downloaded, but when I click install it either shows a spinning loading thing for a few seconds, or the install thing for a few seconds, but then it just restarts.
I've noticed that all of a sudden my MacBook Pro stopped installing updates. Lately, the only one that was installed up to the end was an HP printer update. Updates from Apple or from Microsoft Office will not get to the end of the process. It doesn't matter if I try via Software Update or directly from the Apple site. What happens it that the process goes up to the point I click "install" (after choosing the volume - which is the main HD), then nothing happens - no dialog box, nothing. I can click "install" a hundred times (the button remains available). Then I have to quit the installation process.
iMac was purchased in Dec (version 10.7.3 operating). Yesterday I installed Adobe Suite and today I went to open Photoshop and it says I need Javatime, I click to install and it says "software update quit unexpectedly". I tried updating version in iTunes and same thing happened. In numerous applications it will not allow updates.
I assume something in the software became corrupt with installing the Adobe Suite.
Info: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Every time I try to update the software (when the Software Update" panel opens up), I can download the software but after downloading it says "Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
I have plenty of HD space (100G available out of 320G), and I've tried repairing permissions, restarting etc but I still get the same error message.
When I try to run software updates, the updater progress bar starts, and the software updates window appears in the background, but after about 2-3 minutes both the progress bar and the software updates window disappear. This also happens when I try and update iTunes.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Intel 2.0 gHz duo core
i can't seem to update my macbook with any of its updates. I try to install and restart the ones that need to restart, but it doesn't even move a inch when restarting. I've left it for like a day complete to see if the restart would move in the bar, but it just stays in the beginning.
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?
Was forced to reload my OS. Now I am unable to open several apps whether I am on the OS or safe mode. Example; I can click on contacts and nothing happens. I can open my apple mail but can not view the email nor click on it to open. I can not open terminal. I can not open software update.
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.
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?
