my itunes and iphoto keep telling me I need a software update and I try to click on the software update button on the top left screen and it tells me to "install and restart" when I click that it JUST restarts and wont install anything. How do I update my software?

What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

I can't install new software update!

I can't install new software update! for my Nokia 6500 slide.
when install the new software on to my laptop, Vista home premium, service pack one.
It give me this error "error 2738 could not access VBScript run time for cutom action".??????
Can anyone help me please?
How **bleep**.

Impossible to say without more details other than "I can't install". If you'll post full details, including whether you're attempting to update from the iPad directly or from iTunes on a computer, where things are breaking down, what error messages if any you're getting, and any other details pertinent to your issue, then someone can perhaps offer suggestions.
Regards.

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

          if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then
          display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
          display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"

Since installing new software update, my iphone 4S no longer is recognized by itunes

I installed the new software update to my Windows PC and my iphone and now my iphone 4s is no longer recognized by itunes and I cannot sync. I already attempted unintalling itunes and reinstalling it - it didn't work.

Hello KatieJean123,
It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version and its associated softwares:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Cant install new software updates

Hi,
It seems I cant install any software updates from apple.When I click the install button,nothing happens.Normally the Admin password screen comes up but its not.
Anyone have any advice?

Cutting to the chase, I think the best solution to this problem is to make a really good backup with TimeMachine and then do a clean install os Leopard, and then to update Leopard, and then to use TimeMachine to restore your files.
I tried Archive and Install. At first, I attempted to preserve user preferences. But the installation of Leopard hung. Looking at the logs, it hung after the system had installed, and as it was in the process of trying to restore the user settings. I then tried Archive and Install without preserving user preferences. This appeared to work, but several files were corrupted. Most obviously, files that had recently been edited with Microsoft EXCEL 2008. I then deleted the Archived files and restored all my user files from TimeMachine. Problem solved.
I wonder if the combination of Microsoft Office 2008 and Leopard 10.5 is somehow toxic.

Why won't my MacBook install new software updates?

When I click on Software Update it says "Install 11 items." Among them are iTunes 10.6.3, Safari, Garage Band Update, iPhoto Update and so on.
When I click "Install 11 Items" it doesn't install anything. It says I must restart my computer to finish installation. So, I restart. Afterwards it asks for my password, I figure for installations.
But nothing is changed, and when I click updates I get the same 11 program updates. This has happened at least seven times in the past seven tries.
Plus, my battery is stuck. It won't come out of the computer. Though the abve issue is most troubling.
Thanks.

Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) is a purchased product, you can get it from the Mac app store. If your MacBook can support it though you may want to wait and purchase Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) which will become available sometime later this month. It will also be a purchase, but it is not necessary to get Lion first, and it is going to be $20 rather than the $30 for Lion. You can find out if your MacBook will run it on this page.
That security update can be found here. The Java update is available here. You can search for other updates on this page.
I don't know why the installer is not performing as it should. It is highly unlikely that the battery has anything to do with your installation issues.
Best of luck.

How do I install "automatic" software updates that won't install automatically?

Hi, I currently have 13 updates downloaded and ready for installation. For some reason, when I restart my computer to install the updates, nothing happens. It asks me to install the same updates over and over. How do I install my updates?

How did you download them? Where are they stored? What shows up in /Library/Updates/?

TS1394 How do I install downloaded software updates...?

I can download software updates, but when it comes to installing them, it does not.
prompt comes up do not shut off computer, this may take a while? Does not install.

You posted this in the OSX 10.6.8 forum but your computer profile says you are runnng 10.7. Which is it?

Problems with Java 1.5+ after installing new "Software Updates".

I downloaded the regular 'software updates', now my macbook pro won't open Vuze, instead coming up with the message " Cannot launch "Vuze Installer". No compatible version of Java 1.5 available." Then it won't let me "Open Java Preferences". What do I do???

This is silly. Just because you don't know Vuze doesn't mean there's no problem with this update. My friends are having the same issue, of course we are looking at possible problem from Vuze's part but we cannot really say this update has 100% nothing to do with Vuze's launch failure, can we?
P.S. Since Vuze is not banned by law, it's still legal to use it. It's up to people if they want to use it for good or bad.
