Best way to update osx security updates with ARD?

What's the best way to manage OSX security updates to have them install auto from a local location instead of downloading from Apple.
This also applies to adobe updates.
Is ARD designed for this?

Download them to your computer or whichever one you have setup as your task server and push the install packages out to the clients from there.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts.  What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it.  Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them.  I can still watch YouTube videos et al.  About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways. 
    Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it.  A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity.  If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash.  What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead.  Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash.  What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base?  You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5.  Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

  • Best way to update a solaris jumpstart OS image.

    Hi all,.
    Ive been recently building some v240's but have run into trouble with the rather out of date 02/02 instance of Solaris 8 (yes, i did say solaris 8 - it's a political thing..)
    Anyhow, I have cd images of Solaris 8 02/04 and have a copy of the Sun Blueprints Jumpstart book by "Howard and Noordergraph".
    On page 92, it says to use the "setup_install_server" script with the -b option for /jumpstart/OS/Solaris-xx-xx-xx.
    Ive done that without any probs, then it goes on to say if you want an install server do the same command again without the -b switch.
    Problem is that it spews out this message.
    733 root@bbs00080 # ./setup_install_server -b /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2004/
    Verifying target directory...
    setup_install_server:
    The target directory /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2004/ is not empty. Please choose an empty
    directory or remove all files from the specified directory and run
    this program again.
    So i chose an empty directory and it goes and does it.
    Is this an errata?
    I already have /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2002/ and I wanted to update the files so that I can boot the v240r.
    Except 02/02 doesnt let me do that as it doesnt support the v240r arch.
    Sun told me this, but I'm lost because my existing profile for this box, lists all the packages I want to install, but it whinges about not being able to find a .cdrom toc file.
    I already have three flash archives which i created from good builds from 02/02, in my rules file which work, but this pesky update for the 240r is getting to be a little tricky.
    So far, ive tried copying all the packages from 02/02/Products directory into 02/04/Products but some of them don't install despite being there.
    Can anyone suggest the best way to update my 02/02 with the 02/04 boot loader for the v240?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for any confusion.
    D.

    I'm sorry. I meant. Say my array of x positions is 3, 4, 9. I change 9 to 30. How can I make the polygon see that change?

  • Best way to update individual rows of a Table?

    I've taken a look at some examples, though haven't gotten any clarification on this.  I am looking to have something close to a listbox or table to where I can update just a single column of row values at a 1 time per second pace.  I am looking to display our data-acquisition values in a table or listbox.  The single listbox seemed to work good for this, but I was unable to use row headers to list the channel names next to the channel values.  I was thinking about connecting the cursor values of two list-boxes to do this, but didn't find any info on this for the single list-box.
    I have a few questions:
    1) I have a 1D array to where I want to use that array of data to constantly update the first column (with a multitude of rows) of a table.  I am looking for the best route so as not to take up too much processing time in doing this.
    What is the best way to update individual rows of a table?   Invoke Node "Set Cell Value" ... or is there another method?
    2) Why is it that after every other iteration the row values are erased? 
    Also, for adding additional strings to the original arrray ... is it best to use the "Array Subset" and then the "Build Array" function, or the "Array Subset" and "Insert Into Array" function?
    See the attached example.
    Thanks.

    Classic race condition.  dump the for loop and p-node and just wire the 2D array to the table terminal.!
    I'm not seeing the race condition.  What I am seeing is the table emptying after the last element was written to it on every other run.  I saw watched this with highlight execution on.
    But I'm in full agreement with just writing to the terminal.  It is a 1D array, so you will need to use a build array and transpose 2D array in order for it to write properly.

  • Best way to update audio files in library

    I have quite a few audio files in the library for a Captivate project.  I just modifed a bunch of them, and I am wondering the best way to update the library.
    If I delete the files in the library, I lose all the links to which audio went with which slide.
    If I go into each slide and replace the audio, that is more time consuming, and still a problem when the old audio file is still in the library
    I don't see an option for directly replacing the audio in the library; if I put the new version (same name) it just adds it with a (2), i.e. audioclip and audioclip(2)
    The update option does not give me what I need, unless I am missing something.  First of all, I am using both a Windows computer at the client site, and my own Mac, so the paths are different.  To use the update I would have to update the path for each audio file, which is more trouble that updating every file manually.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    The recommended way is to go to that slide and import the slide audio again, new audio will replcae the old.
    Once you have replaced all the audios, the audio files that are not in use in the project will still show up in Library.
    You can get rid of all unused items from the library, by clicking on the icon for unused icon and then delete icon:
    Thanks.

  • Best way to update drivers?????

    I'd like to get advice on the best way to update my MB drivers.
    If I update my NVIDIA nForce4 System Driver, does that update my AMD 64 4000+ CPU? or do I need to go to AMD's site and get that update??????
    I'm new to this building PC's so please bear with me.  Thanks==db

    No, it does not update the drivers for your CPU, you have to go to the AMD site to get the drivers for the CPU, and also get the drivers from nVidia.
    Be well....

  • Best way to update apps

    Is the best way to update apps through the ipod touch or through the computer to which the ipod syncs?
    I once updated the apps on the computer and synced my ipod with the computer but the apps on the ipod touch were not updated. Is it because the sync was not properly done?
    Thanks.

    the best way is to install all apps and updates from your computer. this will also drastically decrease your backup time. i recently deleted all my apps and reinstalled them from my computer, and my backup time dropped from 9 hours to about 10 mins. i was told this was prob caused by orphan data and errors from installing from the app store on your touch.

    That is absolutely not true.
    An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
    V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
    FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
    As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
    Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.
    Message Edited by grschinon on 28-Dec-2008 04:50 PM
    although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...

  • Best way to update GUI

    Hi, I have a 'business model' class which holds all my variables that are displayed on my GUI which is a seperate class. As these variables change quite frequently while running the program I need some advise on the best way to update my GUI as need be. I'm using a controller with actionListeners to deal with changes going in the opposite direction. So can I manipulate this approach to suit my needs or should I implement Observable which I've read somewhere else?

    user8844058 wrote:
    Yea that sounds viable to me too DrClap I just can't seem to find any examples of it in action! Would you use events in a non GUI class to achieve this?A bit late - NY time here.
    Example:
    1. User enters data on a GUI;
    2. A button is hit on the GUI and some data is taken as user entries and sent to the contoller;
    3. The controller uses that data and acts as a dispatcher to act on what is requested by calling whatever business logic is required, and the model gets populated appropriately;
    4. Once the model is populated the relevant results are returned to the GUI;
    5. The GUI now represents the results of that population.
    I realize you marked your question as answered, but was, or is your question: "how does (or what is the best or most oftenly used way that) the GUI (view) gets, or knows to get the results of the request?"

  • What is the best way to update your reference images?

    Hello,
    We are using MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 7x64. We have an automated process to generate our reference images using Powershell and Hyper-V. It works great.
    We generate new images once per month, and I would like to know the best way to update the .wims in the deployment share.
    Can I just copy the new .wim file into the deployment share with explorer and overwrite the old one? I assume this method will retain the old GUID in the MDT console. Will new deployments just start using this new .wim as soon as it is coped? Do I need to
    update the deployment share?
    Do I need to import a new OS through the MDT console? Doing this I assume will require me to select the new .wim in my task sequence, since the newly imported OS will have a new GUID.
    Also, these .wim files are used in our test deployment share before our production share. Can I just copy/paste from one share to the other? What does this do to the OS GUID? Does it get a new one or does it retain the old GUID from the original share?
    Appreciate any feedback.

    As long as the replacement WIM is the same version number, and the same WIM Index, I would be OK with just robocopy'ing the install.wim over the old version.
    Replication between the test and production shares should use the same GUID's so you should be OK.
