Apple SoftWare UpDate is Missing

My UpDate Software is missing. i looked in my Program Files/ folder. My system locked up and i had to shut it down by holding in the power button.. and i seemed to have lost several folders... go figure... i still have iTunes and Safari installed and working..(i'm running on Windows XP Home) Yea!!
My question is... can i get "Apple Software Update" as a stand alone install??
Or will i have to ReInstall Safari to get it back??
Where can i down load "Apple Software Update" for Windows XP?
Thanks in Advance!!!
ThunderBoy
i'm running:
WindowsXP Home, SP2, all Updates
AsusA8N32-SLI-Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core
2gig Ram
1terabyte HD

Apple Software Update doesn't appear to be available standalone; it is part of iTunes and Safari on Windows.

Unable to install iTunes 5.0, cannot uninstall apple software updater

I am trying to update iTunes from ver 10.3.3 to 15.5.1.4 with no luck!! I can d/l the file, wneh it goes to install it through the update tool, I get an error saying the resource is unavailable, i have searched my entire hard drive for the file "applesoftwareupdate.msi" and its not here. Trying to remove it will not work either due to missing file. I have tried to manually remove the software tool with no luck. I am using windows xp. Is there anything i can do before i go through the grueling task of doing a full windows recovery?? Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Change the language of Apple Software Update ASU for Windows

Hi,
I'm leaving in Korea and while having my whole computer in English and even iTunes and Quicktime set in English, the Software Updater is in Korean (which is not very useful as I can't really work my way through it).
_I know_ there has been a post about not solving the problem but avoiding it by changing the language settings, but I still need to keep Korean as a language for non-unicode in my settings as I am still working with some Korean software and else my whole display is just filled with question marks. And trust me, Korean and GoogleTranslate is better than just question marks...
So, any idea ? Or maybe some developper passing by willing to add a little menu or at least give the change to download the updater in English ?
Anyway, thanks for any help you may be willing to give !

but ASU re-installs automatically the language files after reboot when I launch the program
(mutter mutter) My fault, sorry. I assumed that ASU wasn't using advertised shortcuts. We've still got a shot at this, I think.
Try deleting all but the en.lproj folders again.
Now head back into the main Apple Software Update program files folder. Right-click on SoftwareUpdate.exe and select "Create shortcut". Rename the shortcut as you please ("English ASU" perhaps?) and drag it out onto the desktop.
Reboot, and now try launching ASU by doubleclicking on the "English ASU" (or whatever) shortcut. Does it launch in English this time?
(With an advertised shortcut, before launching the program a check is run against the installation database to check to see that all the program files and registry entries that ought to be present are indeed present. If there are some missing, a repair install of the program will run in order to replace the missing files and whatnot. That's what caught us last time. But if we launch her from an ordinary shortcut, then we should be able to avoid the repair install replacing all the missing language resources.)

When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related, but nothing works.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows Operating System file associated with your DirectX.
Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:

Installed latest Apple software updates, now my mail accounts will not open. No settings, addresses, passwords, etc. were changed. Help!

This morning I downloaded the latest Apple software updates. After the computer restarted, I cannot send/receive emails through Mail. I can, however, send emails through the Yahoo webpage. Nothing (user names, email address, password, etc.) was changed after the download/installation. I can get on the internet and my iPad works just fine, just not Mail.

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Just in case you missed some of the files:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is your the root library on your Hard Disk.

Apple software updater incorrect version check, 12.1.1.4

Apple software updater for iTunes says "new software is available, 12.1.1" but new software download is the same version as installed software, iTunes 12.1.1.4. Has been recurring for over a month. Reinstalled iTunes with assistance from Apple support on 3/4.

Seems to happen on bootup on Tuesday mornings. Happened this morning again. Same details as other weeks. Message "new software is available from apple", "iTunes 12.1.1". Then download new software only to find it is the exact same version as from last week and week before, "12.1.1.4". Searched registry with regedit and found it has itunes version "12.1.1.4" as it should have. Did find multiple instances in registry where itunes installer shows ComponentVersion "12.1.1.4" but ProductVersion "12.1.1". maybe updater is comparing against productversion and missing that the actual version installed is component 12.1.1.4? I'm guessing this problem won't go away until 12.1.2 or 12.2.x.

Why wont the apple software update show up in my programs?

So itunes told me one day that i needed to reinstall because an application was missing so i went tho the website to reinstall. However, it wouldn't let me reinstalll because it couldn't remove the apple software update application. I went to the add remove programs tab and it said he application could not be found when i tried to uninstall it. I tried downloading safari to see if i could re-download the apple update but i couldn't get it from there either. So now i have no itunes and i really need help:(

pretty new to the alias concept.
with that said is it okay to drag the HD icon to the dock on the right side of the seperator?
i made the earlier mistake of dragging by accident into launchpad adding hundreds of icons into it. launchpad cleaner took care of it.
i would like to have the icon on my dock if possible. anyways thanks! all!

Apple software update, reset to Apple?

I have several Macs which look to the local server for Apple Software Updates.
I would like to reset them to look directly to Apple for these updates.
I've tried deleting com.apple.softwareupdate.plist files
I've tried in terminal using the default command.
I've tried turning off the Apple Software Update service on the server.
But they still try to get the updates from the local servers.
Am I missing something?
Any advise would be welcomed.

How did you apply these settings in the first place? Are you using the Workgroup Manager application? If this is the case, the CatalogURL: gets applied at every boot. You can check with this terminalcommand:
mcxquery -computerOnly -computer 'yourcomputername'
with yourcomputername replaced by the actual name of this particular machine. Look for a row that has "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate" in it. in this case, you have to change the Update server URL in Workgroup Manager

ITunes 11.2 - not showing up in apple software update

Is out. But I cannot download it in the usual way. On 'apple software update' it is not appearing in the available updates list. If I launch iTunes and then check for updates it shows that 11.2 is available and I click box to download. But all this does is launch apple software update box again and of course itunes 11.2 is missing, so not able to download. anyone else seeing same difficulty (this is in london UK)
Cheers

Give it some time. With both the iTunes update and the OS X 10.9.3 update being released, Apple's servers are undoubtedly jammed. Or you can just go to the iTunes tab at the top of the page and download the installer from there.
Regards.

I am endeavouring to upgrade iTunes. The upgrade always stalls at a point where there is a need to access Apple Software Updater, which is reported as no longer being available on my network. In My Programs, I have a folder called Apple Software Updater, to which I can browse, but within which I cannot trigger any action. Instructions suggest uninstalling iTunes, then Quicktime, then Apples Software updater, at which the de-installation process stalls as it cannot be found, whilst being there. I am advised to seek Techical Support!
Any ideas, suggestions etc?

I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.

Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I run Windows 7 and the newest version (10.6) of iTunes will not install. The installer won't even begin, and when I run the Apple Software update, it tells me that iCloud and iTunes have invalid signature.

When I run the Apple Software update, it tells me that iCloud and iTunes have invalid signature and will not be downloaded. When I DL iTunes64setup.exe, the program will not start (there's a bar that flashes but nothing actually begins). I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows to fix this (system resore, unistalling all Apple products, taking down firewall, running Windows FixIt - which either won't find the problem or gives me an error saying that the troubleshooter cannot be downloaded at this time, going into the security features to allow programs without valid signatures, trying to install earlier versions of iTunes). It all started when I downloaded the Decemberists new album on my iPhone, and it wasn't downloading it properly so I connected it to my Dell, but some songs still wouldn't DL - also, the newest OS for my iPhone still won't install via WiFi - and so I uninstalled iTunes first, but nothing is helping. And I don't have any security issues (Norton has checked). Any ideas? I'm at my wit's end after 3 days of this. Thank you.

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!
