The problem..
Software Update message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted"
MacBookPro 10.74 Lion Computer is online, as you can see by this message.
Anyone know what is going on?

Most likely needs to be run under an admin account. What's yours?

Mac OS X 10.6.8, receiving error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted." How to fix?

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.

You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software.

Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001

Hi all,
I have a WSUS installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box, I have a new Windows Server 2012 box (joined to domain) that cannot get updates from the WSUS, whenever I try to search for new updates I receive the following error in event viewer:
Windows Update failed to check for updates with error 0x800B0001
Note: I cannot see the Win2K12 server in the WSUS console under computers node.

I couldn't get it to run even after installing the mentioned KB fixes. So I investigated the error myself, and found a "hack" that seems to fix the issue. Wrote up a small piece on it here:
http://tplive.azurewebsites.net/2013/12/windows-update-error/
You and about a thousand other people have reported "I had already installed [the update], but installing it AGAIN fixed the problem.", which is almost assuredly a simple indication that the original installation of the update failed, and you simply did
not recognize that the installation of the update was not successful.
The fact that the /selfupdate folder was corrupted (read: missing files) pretty much says it all. There's no bug. Your installation of the update simply failed. (Or, the server wasn't healthy to begin with and you got what you got.)
Bottom line: The only known cause for a client-side 0x800B0001 error code is that the WSUS server has not been
properly and completely patched.

UseCase: I have installed Flash Builder 4.5 on computer 1. On this computer we configured our licence. This was 4 years ago. Now we set up a computer 2 with Flash Buidler 4.7. We were trying to put in our license to this computer. It did not accept this serial. Is it possible to initialize several computers with the same serial number or is this issue related to the version 4.5 or/and 4.7.

Moving this discussion to the Installing and activating Flash Builder forum.

I cannot receive updates. When I check for available updates, it reads: "failed to check for updates."

I have set up automatic updates weekly. Each week I get an error message. I am unable to manually check for updates either.

Do you have Season Pass for Breaking Bad? You'd need that to see the show in Available Downloads.
Take a look at this Apple doc for more info -> iTunes Store: Download options when purchasing TV seasons, Season Passes, Multi-Passes, movie bundles, music box sets, or individual movies or TV episodes

Can someone please respond to my request for support? I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783 but it did not work.
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

How can I get TV shows viewed through Hulu Plus on the Apple TV 3 to show as widescreen with black bands above and below the screen shot instead of chopping off the sides on my non-widescreen TV?

I just bought a new Apple TV 3 today so I can watch shows from Hulu Plus without having to physically plug in separate audio and video cables from my Macbook Air to the TV every time. I have a non-widescreen TV and when I normally watch Hulu Plus on the TV (though Safari on my plugged in Macbook Air as mentioned above), the entire wide screen shot is shown with black bands above and below the sceen shot since I am watching a widescreen program on a non-widescreen TV.
However, I noticed that when I watch the same show through Hulu Plus on my new Apple TV 3, the left and right edges of the shot are chopped off to make the program fill my non-widescreen TV. This bothers me because I would like to see the full shot and not just the chopped off middle portion. This is a real bummber because watching Hulu Plus without having to plug in my laptop is the only reason I bought the Apple TV. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks!
(FYI: I have the very first Macbook Air that is not capable of mirroring)

How are you actually connected to the TV? Does it have HDMI? Most non-widescreen TVs would not.
I would suspect a converter is either not outputting properly, your TV not interpreting the signal properly or you have some form of Zoom setting enabled on the TV.
How does your TV handle widescreen from say cable or terrestrial TV sources ?
Unfortunately AppleTV is not designed to be used with non-widescreen TVs so there's no setting on AppleTV to tweak.

I'm using the new 4.0.1 and see no way to uninstall add ons. Did something fail to insall on my update? No tools showing anywhere enen to check for updates as in the old 3.5 version. Thanks

No way to uninstall only to restart with add ons disabled. Did something not update from 3.5 ?

Did you see a Firefox icon in the top left corner? If so, click on it and the Menu Bar will appear. If you want to have the Menu Bar shown instead of the icon, you can CHECK the Menu Bar and it'll stay on.
To find the Add-ons list: Tools > Add-ons and the lists of your add-ons and plug-ins are there.

"failed to check for updates" posix error

What is this? How can I fix it?

In case anyone cares I solved my problem. It turned out to be some funky firewall thing ... I don't know why ... but flushing the firewall rules fixed it. Below is the solution that worked.
Another solution has been proposed that requires use of the Terminal.
Type "sudo ipfw list", and you will receive a list of ports (tcp/ip) with their open or closed status.
Then type "sudo ipfw -f flush" to reset the ipfw list.
