  • Software update not showing iTunes 10.6.3 update

    iTunes is telling me there is an update and when I click install it checks for system updates.  iTunes 10.6.3 is not showing up in the system update and says everything is up to date.  I cannot install iOS6 as a result.  Any help?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. My Mac OS is 10.6.2 and I have another Mac running 10.5.8 both have the same issue. I find it hard to believe that I can't update my iPhone 5 without having to pay for a OS update???  I'll be getting two phones on Friday and this would mean I can only back them up?

  • I was updating ipod touch to new iOS5 and it told me that all data would be lost with update and to put it oon computer, but update not there.  How do i update with out this happening?

    I am looking for some help with updating to iOS5, i downloaded to computer to avoid losing data on ipod touch but update was not there.  I've done three times and same result.  If I have all music on usb drive will I be able to reupload it after update, or is there another way to do it by transferring my music from ipod touch to computer and the re-installing in itunes.  Alot of the music I have is copied off of discs and not from itune purchases.  Any help will be greatly appreciated and my computer skills are satisfactory but I am by no means a computer guru. Thanks

    As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there.  Is it not?
    EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Make sure that everything is on your computer.  You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

  • Mavericks 10.9.1 update not appearing in Server's Software Update service?

    While I have been able to update my server to 10.9.1, my client computers all rely upon my server for their software updates.  And although i have repeatedly had the Software Update service fetch all new updates over the last day or so, the Mavericks 10.9.1 update still isn't showing up.
    Does anyone else who is using the Software Update service actually have that update available to them, or is this a case of Apple simply not having made this update available to that service yet?  And if so, does anyone have an idea of how much of a delay should I expect?

    Hi again
    Try running the following command in the terminal on your clients:
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
    The desired return value should be*:
    http://server.mydomain.com:8088/content/catalogs/others/index-10.9-mountainlion- lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    *The base URL might be different depending on if you are using standard SU settings or if you have moved the files somewhere else.
    If this is not your return value try running this on your clients again:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://server.mydomain.com:8088/content/catalogs/others/index-10.9-mountainlion- lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
    You can reset the settings by running this command:
    sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL

  • ITunes updates not appearing, even after showing all updates

    iTunes regularly sends me to the App Store when a new version is available, but the App Store shows nothing.  I have selected "Show All Software Updates," I've managed hidden updates, and searched the App Store for iTunes.  But iTunes still does not appear and I cannot update iTunes.

    Click the "iTunes" link at the top of this page and download the installer.

  • ITunes 10.4 app update not working - iTunes downloads available app updates but without any effect - it doesn't update the apps in iTunes...

    Since a few days I experience following issue when trying to download app updates for my iPhone or iPad
    - I click on get update or on 'Download all free updates'
    - iTunes successfully downloads the updates and seems to successfully process them
    - BUT the list of available apps to update does not change! And when checking the version of the apps that were to be updated, they are unchanged
    Any idea?

    I had a similar problem. My iTunes didn't start automatically when I connected any of my devices after the upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1.
    I found I had to add the iTunesHelper.app in System Preferences->Users & Groups under my account on the Login Items tab.
    You have to navigate to it in finder, because I couldn't seem to do "Show Package Contents" on iTunes.app in the Applications folder from the file dialog you get when you hit '+'.
    Once you have opened the package contents of the iTunes.app then the iTunesHelper.app is in Contents/MacOS. I just dragged and dropped into the Login Items window, then ticked it to start on login.
    Note, this will only start it when you log in, to start it immediately just double click iTunesHelper.app in finder.

  • Adobe Flash update "Not Found" ?? since my update to Froyo

    After the system update to Android 2.2, appbrain keeps telling me that Adobe Flash is ready for update, but when I try to install it says "Not Found".  What is messed up?  Other than needing a new Swype beta, this is the only 'whoops' I have experienced.  I like being able to turn phone either way and have the browser recognise it. 

    @GL17oxford... Flash 10.1 comes pre-installed with 2.2 upgrade. However, you are correct that there is an Flash Player 10.1 update on the market which for some reason does not show up on the DROID Incredible immediately after the upgrade. The update on the market is a fix release which solves some issues with performance and will show up in the market eventually. It did for me a few days ago. Just keep going back to Android Market and search for "Flash Player 10.1". And beware that you only install the one that is published by Adobe Systems. Another way to search would be : pub:"Adobe Systems". Hope this helps...Cheers!

  • Problems with Live update not getting over 96 Kb when updating help pl

    All apps are tied to the Apple id that was used to purchased and download.  So when there is an update you will have to use that apple id and password.

  • Fasttrak BIOS: "Bios is not installed"

    The computer
    CPU:   Pentium-4 2.8C
    MB:     MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R @ 200mhz FSB (1:1 ratio)
    MAT:   Ultra-Turbo
    DOT:   Disabled
    RAM:   2x512mb of Kingston HyperX ram (2.7v)
    PSU:    Generic PSU
    CASE:  Chieftec Dragon Silver Case
    HDD:    2xMaxtor 80GB 6Y080M0 SATA150 Hard Drive
    The problem: A cold cathode inverter went up in smoke and part of the computer caught fire. Luckily, nothing major was damaged. Just a few wires burned through. I taped up the wires that look with electric tape and disconnected thes stuff that looked bad.
    The problem that caused: When drives are connected to the promise controller. It does not recognize any drives. It simply says "BIOS is not installed". Will a BIOS flash re-install the promise BIOS or is that irreperable? If a BIOS flash would do it, what's the best way to flash the BIOS (which parameters do I use & what not).
    Any help as to why this is doing htis would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. The BIOS constantly forgets it's settings and says "CMOS checksum error, BIOS defaults loaded". I replaced the battery, disconnected the AC cord, and I'm waiting till tomorrow to turn it back on again to see if the new battery fixed the problem. If it doesn't, sounds like I need to RMA the motherboard, no?
    BTW. I can RMA the motherboard because it was not damaged the slightest bit in the fire. The fire was very small and the radius of the "inferno" didn't go anywhere near the board. Which is why I don't understand why I'm getting this error. I wonder if just being disconnected for so long caused the battery to burn out. Anyway, to make a long story short, I hope it was just a dead battery and not a FUBAR board.

    the raids not detecting the drives
    so you need to find out why
    either a bad sata lead,bad drive
    or this fire buggered up more than you think

  • My iphone4 is not working after I tried to update it and it wont let me restore it?

    My husbands iphone 4 is refusing to restore or really do anything since he tried to update it to the new operating system. It just alternates between the apple sign, and the thinking circle.  I updated mine on the computer right before he tried so we know its not the computer settings. I updated itunes and went through the trouble shooting guides.  It was not connecting with itunes at all so I updated the device connector.  Now it will connect sometimes as an unknown iphone but will not let me restore it and says it is a (-1) error. What should I do? Apple support was supposed to call an hour ago and still hasnt called.

    I had the same problem, I connected to a different computer that had itunes. It also was oneI never connected to before. I held the power botton and homebutton till it showed up connect to itunes. I opened up it tunes and it said my phone needed a phone software update, i folled the prompt and set it up as a new phone. Then i resored it, then put it on the computer u usually sync it on and restore it to a date the phone was working to, this helped me, if u want i can help u over the phone if u cant get it, let me know and i will send u my number over my email address, hope it works, basically i swiped the phone clean and reinstalled all software by taking these steps

    Ok formated with hp tool put the  7680vJ0.exe  and got       updating bios .......bios file not found! no dos prompt if I could get to the dos prompt I thin I could flash maualy with FUDE238.EXE
    Yup. That would probably work. I don't know. Not sounding good. Is there a reasonable priced pc shop in your area that has an SPI flash programming device that could flash the chip for you?

  • Satellite L300 BIOS update problem: "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC"

    I got Satellite L300 notebook and I want to update it's BIOS (current v1.50), so I've downloaded bios update v1.60-WIN and when I run extracted PS10160M.exe file - I get a message that "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC".
    What I'm I doing wrong?
    ps: that BIOS update was automatically suggested after registration on Toshiba website via serial number.
    UPD: seems like autosuggestion fail: Manual search shows that 1.60-win bios update not suitable for Satellite L300 PSLBCE model. :-(

    Did you download the BIOS for the PSLBCE model?
    You cannot use the BIOS from other L300 models, for example PSLB0E.
    If you installed Windows yourself using a generic Windows Disc, you will need to install the Value Added Package from the Toshiba website. The BIOS Update requires the TVAP package to detect the machine properly.

  • Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

    Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

    Hello agardner37701,
    I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
