10.5.7 doesn't show up in Software Update
I have a new 20" iMac running 10.5.6.
The new update, 10.5.7, does not show up in Software Update, which I have been manually checking every day for the last week.
I went into the Genius Bar and no one could figure out why this was happening.
Follow my upgrade tips first*:

It sounds to me something is either unhealthy about your machine, or you are using tools which are incompatible with Software Update.

Server Admin Doesn't show info for Software Update Service
In server admin, under the settings and available updates, I see a list of available updates, but they are labelled with the hash code for the update, not the name, and the info panel doesn't show any information like it should. We have our corporate firewall configured to allow connections to the server apple uses for this service so that we can get the updates. Any suggestions?
That option is only available after upgrading to iOS 5. It appears you have a 2nd generation unit, which can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

I am stuck on 10.0 I have not received any updates since I installed FCPX last june. I can't find any links to the update on Apple's site and Software update doesn't show FCPX in its software list. What's the deal?
If you don't meet the minimum system requirements, it will not allow you to download it:

Mac OS X Doesn't Show Up in Software Update
When I try to go to Software Update and download the mac app store it says my computer is up to date even though I'm running 10.6.5. I also tried downloading from the apple website, but it says my disk is invalid when I try to install the update. Please help.
I found "There is a reversioner in the dmg with your beta build. Run that, then immediately run the combo or plain updater."
I tried it (from macos_x_10.6.6_build_10j537_combo_update_reversioner) and the 10.6.6 update is installing at the moment... -
HP Printer Driver Update 1.1.1 not showing up in software update
i have a HP HP Deskjet D4260 attached to my macs, but the 1.1.1. update doesn't show up in software update. (as 1.1 did)
i read here
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/hpprinterdriver111.html
that the update will only be visible if the printer is connected to your computer or a print queue has been created for an earlier version. well they are.
any suggestions here as i remember that with 1.1 there was only about 100mb installed of the total of 450mb.
tia m.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1893
here it states that the DeskjetD2400 series drivers are still at 2.3.2. but i thought that with these updates also general printing software is updated

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

OK the 5.0 update has been out for a day, but my itunes still doesn't show the 5.0 update ( wants to update to 4.2.10 which I skipped) available for my verizon iphone 4. Anyone know what is going on? Is it just my phone? Do I have to do the interim updates first?

I just bought a new iphone 5 and when i plugged my phone it to the computer it told me i needed the new itunes so i downloaded it and then the new itunes wouldn't open without the software 10.6.8 or later. I have the 10.5.8 software. How do I downlowd the new software. It doesn't come up on software updates either.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
An iPhone 5 needs iTunes 11, and iTunes 11 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, so upgrading to Snow Leopard will work.
First, check if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it's supported, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, you have to make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner onto an external disk. After that, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, so insert the DVD and upgrade.
The DVD will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open > Software Update and install 10.6.8. You may need to run Software Update again in order to install iTunes 11 -

I have an iPhone 4 and for some reason I'm not able to update the software. I go to Settings then General but it doesn't even have a Software Update option. Am I missing something?
With iOS 4, the only way to update your software is connected to iTunes. OTA (over the air) updates were not available until iOS 5. You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and use iTunes to download and install the iOS updates on your iPhone (at least until your iOS version is 5.0 or higher).

My iPhone 4s won't update somebody please help.it doesn't even have the software update tab in the settings.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
If you have iOS 4... See Here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
OR...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I just updated the software in Pages to 5.1 on my iMac OS (Mavericks) but the Pages Application is giving me an error saying that I cannot open a document recently updated until I perform a software update!
When I am in Pages and to go About Pages it still shows Pages 4.3 (1098)You have 2 Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong one.

ITunes 9.1.1 does not show up in Software Update
I am aware that iTunes 9.1.1 is availible for download at Apple's website, however for some strange reason iTunes always alerts me to upgrade to 9.1.1 but when I open Software Update it says that "Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time." I am currently running iTunes 8.2.1 if that helps any, and I would just like to know why the newest version does not show up in my Software Update and if there is anything that can be done to fix this.
download 9.1.1 from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.

About bash bug update being available but not showing up in software updates???
Apple has posted a Bash Bug update (as of 9/29/14) for various versions of OS X. It can be downloaded on the downloads page. But why doesn't it show up as an Apple update on the Software Updates page???
When I go there it says "there are no updates available". What's up with that???
thanks.. bobHave you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update

When I'm restore my iphone 4 ios 6.1.3 itunes showed an error you iphone can not be restore at this time because the software update server is not contacted or temporary unavailable.
Probably because the phone was hacked to unlock it. The update has re-locked it. You'll have to contact the carrier it's locked to and see if they will unlock it for you.
