HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

How come I can't see the CNN's comment box? Now I can't comment! It works on others MacBook Pro's Safari, but not on mine.

The Comment box vanished!. There is usually a box where you can type your comment right under where it says "Add New Comment". I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, Safari 6.0. I have a CNN account and can also log into it through Facebook and it still does not work. However, Whenever I log into my sister's laptop which is the same as mine, it works over there. So the issue is definitely on my Safari or somewhere else in my computer.
I will show you two pictures giving an example on how the comment section on CNN is supposed to be working.
PIC #1 - On this first picture, in the part where it says "Add New Comment", right under it theres supposed to be a box where i type inside my comment. But as you will see there will not be a box
There is supposed to be a comment box between "Add New Comment" and those tabs where it says CNN DISQUS FacebookCONNECT TWITTER
PIC # 2 - On this second picture, I will print screen the same page and try to reply to that first top comment on PIC #1. And doing it that way there is also no comment box. Again I should say that yes I do have an account on CNN and I am logged in. On CNN.com, if you are not logged in either through Facebook or CNN itself, the reply button would not even appear.
As you can see, Right under where it says "Replying to geoplato"(whoever that is) there should be a box as well. And I know its my computer or my browser because my sister that lives with me, she has a MacbookPro which is what I use, and it works fine on hers. So I know its not CNN, Its my computer or browser.
I hope with these new pictures, someone will be able to help me.
Thank you all again who spends your time going through this. I really appreciate it.
Francisco Neto.

TS1702 How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

You can download updates to your computer's iTunes via the Check For Updates button at the bottom of the Apps section of your iTunes library. When they've been downloaded, and if you haven't already done so, connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes (if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side clicking the Sync button at the bottom of it should install the relevant updates.

After changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client

Dear all,
This is a real issue. I am a Help-desk in a global company and after changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client. Even I download Offline address book in full detail, user still can't see the change in her outlook.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Franklin hong

Hi,
Would you please detail what you did by "changing a mail list name in Server end"? What is the mail list and what server?
If you switch to Online Mode instead of Cached Exchange Mode, does the user see the change?

How come I can print off the Apple support page but not off of note pad in my documents.

No. It is not free unless the phone was originally purchased less than 90 days ago or you have an active AppleCare agreement.
Where did you get the phone? This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

Hello.

for example, I have three mp3s of "2pac"..on my itune list, but I only see one song.

Since downloading IOS 6.1, my Iphone 4 indicates the number of updates, but nothing shows up in the Apps Icon...

When downloading or updating or installing any app on my iPhone 4S I can't see the download indicator I just see it when it's done , I just ant see the progress anymore .

My problem is , I no longer see my download indicator while installing or updating or downloading any app. , it happened after I installed the ios6 but after a while from installing it.

Standard troubleshooting...
- Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
- If still a problem restore with your backup.
- If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
I think your next step is to restore with your backup. FWIW, I've not seen or heard of this issue.

My ipod touch 4th gen when i tried to update my apps at the app store i touched updates but nothing shows up so i can't update my apps what should i do pls help me.

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. Se the following for what it does contain.

The App Store says that I need to update but nothing shows up

I am getting notifications that I have four update on my iPad however when I open the App Store and go to updates nothing shows up. I have restarted and closed and reopened that app what to do?

I think there's a problem with the update server.
There are many similar cases on this discussion.
