10.5.6 auto update not working and how I fixed it

I ran into an issue installing 10.5.6 like many others apparently have. I'd run the auto update and it would stall at Configuring Installation with the progress bar moving maybe 1/8th of the way. I'd restart and try again with no success.
I tried verifing the disk but it found no issues.
When I tried the combo-updater it told me my hard drive didn't meet the requirements for the update.
The one thing I was missing was 10.5.5. I was still running 10.5.4. The funny part is that the auto updater didn't recognize it and kept trying to push 10.5.6 and the combo-updater didn't recongize it either.
In the end I downloaded the 10.5.5 updater from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1055comboupdate .html. After it installed I was allowed to install 10.5.6
In my opinion the autoupdater should have caught this.

I agree - that sounds like a bug to me.
You could have downloaded the combo 10.5.6 update which works with any version of Leopard from 10.5.1 up and not have bothered with 10.5.5.

  • Does anyone know why my homescreen butoon is not working and how to fix it

    my home screen button is not working why is this and how can i fix it

    Here's a tip I read some months ago that is simple and effective:
    Open a stock iOS app (Weather, Stocks, Clock, etc.). Once the app is open, press your iPhone’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

I have tried turning my ipod on and off, and turning the wifi on and off but nothing is working. I don't know if it's just apple or if it is my ipod. Could someone please help because I really dont want to drive for an hour to get to an apple store.

    Try:

    It could be an Apple problem since other users have been reporting the same problem today.

  • Flash player silent auto update not working

    I was glad to read the news about the new feature of silent auto updates of the Adobe Flash player, but unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Has anyone had the same problems and was able to solve them?
    Some information on my setup:
    I had previously installed Flash player version 11.1.102.63, both ActiveX and Plugin version (installed through the .msi files, deployed via Active Directory/GPO - no further configuration, just plain original .msi files).
    To test the auto update feature, I decided to install the new 11.2.202.228 version, but only the ActiveX version. I installed this via the .exe installer (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) manually, choosing "Install updates automatically when available (recommended)" in the last step of the installation, as seen here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.html
    When I open Control Panel -> Flash Player, under the "Advanced" tab I see:
    "Install updates automatically" is chosen, but greyed out (no admin rights with this windows user)
    ActiveX version: 11.2.202.228
    Plug-In version: 11.1.102.63
    The file "mms.cfg" under C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\ contains:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    The task "Adobe Flash Player Updater" was created and is scheduled to run every 1 hour. I can see that it is started ("last start time"), the result code is 0x0 which means "no error".
    So everything as expected. But the auto update is not working, since the plugin version of flash player never gets updated!
    I edited the "mms.cfg" and added:
    SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
    After manually starting the task, there are some lines added to "FlashInstall.log" in the same directory:

    What does this mean?
    Some more information:
    Windows XP SP3, all windows updates installed, german
    Avira Professional Security anti-virus software
    Machine is behind a proxy server, but this is set up in Control Panel -> Internet Options
    I suppose this is a problem with our proxy server. Does the auto updater not use the proxy information from the Windows Control Panel settings?
    Kind Regards,
    Martin

    Hey Hans,
    After reading of your sucsess I attempted to replicate it.
    I am happy to say that I managed to update from Adobe Flash 11.2.202.228 to 11.2.202.233 on serveral different windows 7 notebooks and desktops sliently.
    I went into the windows task scedular and ran the Adobe Flash Player Updater task (I didn't need to change anything in the task or the service for it to work).
    The only issue I found was that if I ran the task again without restarting the computer no requests from the client would show up in the logs from my web server but if I restarted my computer and then reran the task it would work again. I'm assuming that it will only sent requests out every 24hours is talked about in page 18 of the Flash Player 11.2 Administration Guide. 
    My Web Servers logs look like this:
    2012-04-27 05:45:01 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml - 443 - 10.135.13.17 Get+Flash+Player+version+xml/1.0 200 0 0
    2012-04-27 05:45:05 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_ax_sgn.z - 80 - 10.135.13.17 Download+Flash+Player+Installer/1.0 200 0 0
    My mms.cfg looks like this:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=proxy.tallangatta-sc.vic.edu.au
    I think the biggest issue I had during testing was that I forgot to my web servers certificate into the windows certificate stores trusts root certs of my notebooks/desktops. EG: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/04/rights-management-how-to-get-windows-7-to-trust-a -self-signed-server-certificate.html
    I have since deployed the mms.cfg file and added my web servers certificate into the trusted root certs via group policy to all my clients and it is working very well. I have also writen a batch file to download the needed files from adobe for that backgroup updater and to put them on my web server. I created a daily task on my web server to run the batch file. If anyone wants the batch file or shell script please email me and I'll forward it on.
    My batch file pretty much looks like this:

  • V 10.0.2 auto update not working

    I have been running FF 10.0.2 for a while, and was just told by a website that I needed to have FF 14 or FF 15 running. I have always had auto update turned on, but evidently, it is not working. I've now been "checking for updates" on the update channel, with no results after being connected for over 1/2 hour.
    All suggestions appreciated -- I would simply download and install the latest version, if that will not eradicate my existing data.
    Thoughts, please?
    Many thanks

    Done, and well. Very quick download, very quick update installation, and no apparent loss of data.
    So, thanks again. I have set the auto update option, and hope that it will serve well in this new version.

  • Auto-update not working on 64-bit Windows Firefox Aurora

    I realize the correct directory to download Aurora builds would be http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-l10n/, but it does not have 64-bit Windows build which is unfortunately the only way to solve severe stuttering problems in Flash.
    Previously I had used nightly builds, while they did work fine most of the time sometimes there issues that forced me back to standard builds, and stuttering Flash.
    So instead I've been trying to use 64-bit Aurora I downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/. It's been a smooth experience otherwise but auto-update doesn't work. First it attempts to install small patch, which fails. Then it tries to install full update, which again fails.
    Here's a screenshot of the full update failure message: http://i.imgur.com/8HmPjTE.jpg

    Thanks for the feedback. The topic linked above suggests that the problem with auto-update lies with CA certificate. I've submitted feedback to Moziilla and linked here just in case.
    If the cause of failing auto-update is the CA certificate, hopefully Mozilla is willing to correct the problem.
    Stuttering Flash in 32-bit Firefox is simply unbearable and I have to either use 64-bit Nightly or Aurora builds, or go Chrome.

    Hello Andrew
    1. Download full installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
