Software update unable to find update!

When I launched iPhoto, a dialog box popped up saying that ver 6.0.5 was available.
I accepted the update now option and software update launched. It searched for updates and told me that all my software was up to date.
I tried this several different ways, tried turning off automatic software update, all to no avail.
I've noticed that software update often won't find updates (it's set to check daily) but the individual software programs will (the iPhoto example is the last of several similar occurrences)
I'm forced to visit the apple software update page and manually download and install the updates.
Any ideas on why this is happening? Corrupted software update files?
Thanks,
Woodbarth

The solution is simple. The software I didn't install since many months (iPod updater, iSight updater, Apple Remote Desktop etc.) isn't listed any more by SU. That's why it says "no updates, all is up to date".
Don't know the objective or this change made by Apple. Maybe it's the spotlight policy:
- Spotlight doesn't find and the user should believe the searched items don't exist on the HD... but they exist
- SU doesn't show all updates and the user believes there are no updates available... but there are updates available ?-/

  • Unable to find Update rules in BI content

    Hi All,
    We are unable to find the update rules for the datasource
    2LIS_03_BX
    2LIS_03_BM
    2LIS_03_UF
    in the Business Content for the cube 0IC_C03
    But we can find the update rules for the datasource 2LIS_40_S278 for the cube 0IC_C03
    The BI content was of Release 703 (level 0011) in our system.
    What might be the reason for this ?

    Hi Surya,
    How are you collecting the BI content.
    In BI content select the datasource and collect data flow afterwards. You will get update rule in it.

  • [SOLVED] No boot after update unable to find root device|libmount.so.1

    Hi,
    after my most recent update, which was the first for a long time, I am getting the following error when trying to boot my system:
    mount: /lib/libmount.so.1: version 'MOUNT_2.20' not found (required by mount)
    cat: can'topen '/proc/cmdline': No such file or directory
    ERROR: Unable to find root device ' '
    The same for MOUNT_2.21. This error still persists after chroot manual installs of util-linux and glibc. I tried downgrading util-linux still witout success. Following reply #15 of: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1130638 did not solve it either.
    I also reinstalled grub just to be on the safe side, but nothing helped.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    If you fucked up the glibc migration (read "The /lib directory becomes a symlink" from the archlinux.org front page), there are countless threads about this, including a big one (350+ replies) in the "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues" category. I'm sure you will find some answers there.

  • Windows Update won't find updates for Office 2013?

    Hi,
    I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
    I have Office 2013 Professional Plus.
    Whenever I check Windows Update for updates, it never seems to bring up updates for Office.  I assume there have been at least some updates to Office 2013 since it was released?
    My Windows Update screen tells me:
    "You receive updates: For Windows only."
    When I click the "Find out more" to get updates for other MS products, all that happens is the IE opens up on a page that says "Use your Start menu to check for updates"
    So... how do I get Windows Update to check for updates to Office 2013?  I feel very confused--I mean, shouldn't I be able to set Windows Update to check for updates for a whole host of MS programs (Silverlight, .NET, Office, etc.)?
    I've tried changing the Windows Update settings to include other Microsoft products but there's no option to do so when I check.
    Any insight would be appreciated! Someone recommended I ask here because I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise.

    Check for updates manually
    (Picture), install any missing or pending Windows updates and check the articles below.

    I don't want to find and download updates manualy - I need automatic updates. Searching web a lot - no answer. Please help.

    Back up all data.
    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Adobe Updater doesn't find updates, wrong version, hangs

    I have the full CS5. When I first installed, updater found a number of updates, and recently, it notified me of the update to Photoshop, so it was working.
    I just ran Updater after installing Acrobat, and it did not find any updates, even though there is an update for Flash Builder, which I ended up downloading manually. Additionally, it has the old interface, and offered to check for "All CS4 applications." Umm, wrong version. Now, the Updater icon sits in my Dock and won't quit.

    The Acrobat update mechanism is different from that of CS5 products. Did you try a "Help --> Check for updates" from with any CS5 App ?

  • Updater is not finding updates

    I have CS6 installed on my iMac and Macbook Pro.
    both run mountain lion and both were installed the same way using the cloud installer on the same day.
    The Macbook pro gets notification of patches, the imac does not. even if I manually select updates in the apps the updater reports no updates found. So I have to manually search and download patches.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi,
    Check for yoursef if you are able to browse : http://status.creativecloud.com/
    If the issue persist check for connection with:
    The updater accesses the following URLs to obtain update information:
        http://adobe.com
        http://swupmf.adobe.com
        http://swupdl.adobe.com
    See: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-update-issues-cs 5-cs5.html#main_Manage_Adobe_Application_Manager_updates
    Also check if you are a trial user or paying user, under trial it is not avalible:

  • HT1338 Apple's software update doesn't find any updates?

    Since updating to OS 10.8.3 the software update does not seem to work anymore. Recently iTunes came up with a message saying that a new version was available but clicking on the update option it re-directed to the App Store and a notification appeared stating that no updates were available. Doesn't make sense to me, especially if I search online on the Apple website I find plenty updates!
    Is this a known glitch or am I doing something wrong here? This problem has occured on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. Bye the way, an update to 10.8.4 hasn't changed a thing.

    Maybe this?

  • I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    I just updated my software, but seems my macbook got an error of unable to find driver for this platform..

    Did you try more than once? If so:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.
