Automatic updates not detecting latest version
I could not find a mention of this in the forums or the bug database.
I have noticed for a few months now...going back to at least the update from Update 6 to Update 7:
The automatic update function does not work. Going to the Java control panel applet, it reports version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_07-b03), however it says that I have the latest version of Java for this platform (Windows XP).
Is there a workaround for this problem? This problem makes keeping several machines updated a PITA.
Is the java bug database the place to report this problem? If so, is it already there?
It's strange to only see articles mentioning this problem very recently:

In addition to the automatic updates not detecting that Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_07-b03) is not the latest Update 9, the official site, java.com, has old downloads, as well.
Both the Download Now link and the Manual Download links to Version 5.0 Update 6.

Software update not detecting latest updates?
when i launched itunes and toast programs, it told me that there are updates that can be downloaded.
so i went to SOFTWARE UPDATE and it didn't detect any new updates. it's really weird. it was very dependable and efficient a couple of months ago until i installed 10.4.8...
is there a fix for this problem? it's very annoying so i would appreciate it if someone can point me to a solution.
thanks in advance.
Powerbook 1ghz 1gb ram OSX 10.4.8 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hello jaimsitecom,
If iTunes states their is an update then it gives you a direct link for download, which may or may not show up in Software Update. Because you are in the Philippines there may not be one available for your country yet.
Any software other than Apple created will not show up in Software Update. You have to use the program to update or go to that company's website. -
Updated iTunes to latest version (10.4.1.10) resulted in computer no longer recognising my iPhone 4. Uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes, still my iPhone is not detected by iTunes.
Please can anyone help…..c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 -

I can not open mozzilla after updating to the latest version. I click on it and nothing happens. I tried to uninstall but it tells me to close the mozzilla that is opened. I do not see any opened.
Did you check: File > Work Offline
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available? Will I need to go back even further? Thanks
Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

I recently tried updating to the latest version of Itunes, never had a problem, after downloading the installer attempts the undate I get a dialog box telling me to locate the installer package, I locate the download and I get a message:
the file C: users\eric\appdata\apple\applesoftwareupdate\itunes64.msi is not a vaild insallation package for the product Itunes. Try to find the installation package "itunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install itunes.
I cant even install because I get the same message.(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I updated to the yosemite system. My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite. The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US. Currently I cannot use iPhoto. Suggestions?
Csound1,
Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash. I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
Russell,
If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads. Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list. The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
Rysz,
I will also look at the link you provided before I get started. Thanks. -
I just updated to the latest version of itunes, n ow when I plug in my iphone, it says it cannot sync because "apple mobile device service is not started" this never happen before, what do I do??
The Apple Mobile Device Service is a part of sever programs that "help" iTunes on Windows. It may have been disabled in the Microsoft program, msconfig, or using a third party utility, such as CCleaner.
I would suggest trying to find and enable the service. To do so, click on the start button, click "run", and then type "msconfig" look for the iTunes Helper entry and make sure that it's enabled.
Additionally, there may be another service which you will have to enable. You can type something like "service.msc", (I'm not sure exactly) to see the "Services" control panel and look for it there.
If you can't find either, feel free to post here again.

i need to update to the latest version of itunes, but need to download some images and video first.....it is telling me that this will all be erased if i update, but it is not letting me do anything else.....what can i do??
You have no choice but to restore the phone.
However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right? -
I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open. Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US. What do I do? Cannot access any photos.

I have updated to the latest version of Fire Fox on my computer. I have Firefox set as the home page whenever I'm on the Internet. Right on the homepage is an "urgent" message stating that I am not using the latest version of Fire Fox. I most assuredly do have the latest version of Fire Fox downloaded and installed into my computer.
