Brand New Update Retriever Repository, No Visible Updates
I've been using TVUR and System Update for over two years and, except for the temporary program cancellation, it's worked very well.
My TVUR workstation died and I've tried to recycle the old repository using another workstation (the files are on a file server). But this hasn't worked out - the lack of machine associations after importing all 800 updates made the old, 16GB repository nearly worthless.
So I started over, with a new repository, running TVUR on the file server (Windows Server 2003 R2 x64). It sets up quickly and retrieves updates, but only 40. That's 7 machine types, 3 Windows OS's (or 17 triplets) results in 40 updates... it seems a little low.
When I try Manage Repository\Update View, I see nothing. No updates. It doesn't matter what I select in the Filters.
The session directory shows tons of update information for each machine/OS/language triplet:

Lots of XML data gathered there, but nothing in the gui.
Is it even possible to build a new repository from scratch?
Or automatically gather the metadata for the old updates (which was lost with the dead TVUR workstation)?
Any advice would be appreciated.

"The deal with TVUR is that the "get new updates" bit will be greyed out until valid machine types are populated, otherwise it doesn't know what to look for."

Brand new update of sync loops restart and will not install oct 8 update
my latest firefox 3.6 auto updated sync and it loops the restart command but will not install the update to sync. no other instructions. i have to cancel update to get sync back. i do have another computer on the home network. all else is standard and simple desktop set up. i have win 7 x64 bit prof.
I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed. If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it. I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device. As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

Hi,all!!!HP have released a brand new updates for HP Prime's emulator, connectivity kit and firmware.Resource and download link in : http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/forum.cgi?read=257514#257514Thanks for Franz of MoHPC forum for discovering these updates!!!
Hello, First, look at the help. shift program ENTER cmds Drawing PixelsUp (select TRIANGLE_P) Help... TRIANGLE is a VERY complicated function as it takes lots of forms. From just drawing 1 triangle, to drawing multiple ones all the way to drawing multiple rotated and projected ones with Z clipping! copied here for ease of reading: Syntax: TRIANGLE_P([G], x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, c1, [c2, c3], [Alpha], ["ZString", z1, z2, z3]) orTRIANGLE_P([G], {x1, y1, [c1], [z1]}, {x2, y2, [c2], [z2]},{x3, y3, [c3], [z3]}, ["ZString"]) orTRIANGLE_P([G], [[x/y coordinate matrix]], [[color matrix]], {[[z matrix]], [zcode], [[[projection matrix]]], [zstring]) or TRIANGLE_P([G]) Draws a triangle between specified pixel coordinates in the graphic using the specified color and transparency (0 ≤ Alpha ≤ 255). If 3 colors are specified, blends the colors in between the vertexes. The next form of TRIANGLE allows display of multiple triangles at a time.
This is mostly used if you have a set of vertices and want to display them all at once.The first 2 matrices indicate the x/y coordinates and colors of each points. TRIANGLE_P will draw 1 quadrilateral for each set of 4 adjacent vertices and blends the colors associated with the 4 points.
If a z and projection matrix are provided, for each point, this matrix is multiplied by the [x,y,z,1] vector to create the display x,y coordinates.
If zcode is a list that contains 3 real numbers { ex, ey, ez } then x,y are further modified by doing x=ez/z*x-ex and y=ez/z*y-ey creating a perspective projection.
If zstring is provided, z clipping will happen using the z value (see below).
If zcode="N" or is a list that starts with "N", then each z is normalized to be between 0 and 255. About ZStringTRIANGLE_P([G]) returns a string adapted for z clipping.To use Z clipping, call TRIANGLE_P to create a Z clipping string (initialized at 255 for each pixels). You can then call TRIANGLE_P with appropriate z (0-255) values for each of the triangle vertexes and TRIANGLE_P will not draw pixels further than the already drawn pixels. ZString is automatically updated as appropriate.Examples: TRIANGLE_P(0,20,150,50,100,100,#FFh,#FF00h,#FF0000h,128) As an example of how to use the triangle for 3D graphing do the following.Make a copy of the Advanced grapher app (used here sollely for it's ability to enter functions of X and Y)...edit the app program (shift program, up, enter) and replace whatever is there by the following program.then, exit the app (go to function) and restart it (to start the program). You should end up in the symb view. enter sin(X)*SIN(Y)*5 as V1 and press plot. you can then use the arrows and +/- to move the graph. press ON to exit. g3D_rotmatrix();

Brand new iPod Touch, updated to iOS 4.2.1, WiFi no longer working
Bought my kids brand new 4G iPod Touches for Xmas, set them up and they worked fine. Last night, when I connected them to sync some new apps, iTunes prompted me to update the OS to 4.2.1, which I did. Now, the iPods can no longer connect to my Time Capsule. I have tried resetting the network settings, rebooting the iPod, even resetting my TC, and nothing seems to work. My Internet connection is fine, as all other computers in the house can get online just fine.
Any ideas or suggestions? This is really frustrating. Thanks!I tried doing a restore on the iPod, twice. Once with a restore from backup, and then again as a new device. Still no WiFi. I'm really not happy about this. I'm almost certain it was the update to 4.2.1 that broke it.
Please help!!! -
I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

Brand new iMac freezes constantly! Updates aren't helping!
Hello everyone,
This past Sunday I bought a brand new iMac intel Core 2 Duo with a 250 GB HDD and 1 GB of RAM. At home I set it up with my SAMSUNG 1080p 22" monitor, Apple bluetooth Keyboard and mightymouse, and a Western Digital 350 GB HDD hooked up via USB. I was excited to finally jump on the intel-based Mac bandwagon, as well as experience dual monitors for the first time.
That was Sunday. Tuesday evening I was watching "Rome" on itunes on my Samsung monitor while surfing the web with Omniweb on the iMac monitor. All of sudden, everything locked up. I was able to move my cursor, but nothing responeded to my clicking. I hard booted the system and loaded everything I had going again, and sure enough, it locked up a few moments later. I ran system update, updated everything, then restarted. Time went by and although not immediatly, later that night it froze up on me again.
Fast forward to last nite, and the freezing reached and all time high. 5 times. Each time was when I had a browser open in my iMac window and I had Quicktime playing in my Samsung monitor. I was watching a sports program, with the player fit to the screen.
I have read many posts about intel iMacs freezing late last year, but there was a firmware update that evidently fixed that. I have this update installed, and I have had no luck. I have even contacted Apple Care via phone where I got instructed to unplug everything, plug it back in, start in safe mode, and delete cache. That didn't help me out at all. Am I right insuspecting I have a faulty Video card? I just ordered 4GB of RAM, could this be a RAM issue?When diagnostics are run on a freezing computer and nothing shows, I'll put the program into a testing loop because this means one of two things: the issue is heat related so running the diagnostics several more times will bring on the heat so that the issue shows up or the installed RAM is marginal, just flaky enough to show up now and again but not so far off that a run through of the memory test catches it on the first run.
As I said in my original post, memory is always a suspect in a freezing or kernel panicking computer. And it does tend to top my list. But from what you describe I'm not quite willing to say, "Why don't you just wait until the RAM upgrade arrives?" -
Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!
just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.
If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins. -

Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode
So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message. After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen. I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results. I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone." Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?
Hello rph30,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

Should I update brand new iPod Touch 5 to iOS8?
Merry Christmas everyone!
So, we got our kids an iPod Touch 5 for Christmas and have noticed they are still running iOS7. I know that these devices are capable of running ios8, but I am wondering whether or not I should update iOS or not?
What are people finding in terms of real life experience with iOS8 on iPod Touch 5? Does it run sluggishly or is it fine?
Considering these are brand new iPods, this would be a totally fresh update (no legacy apps, etc to worry about).
Joe.Some users have reported shorter battery life after updating to iOS 8. It is up to you if yo want the features added by iOS 8

Brand new nano having trouble updating, maintaining song permissions
My mom got a brand new 4g nano for Christmas. We brought it down to her computer, which is running Windows XP 2003 with update package 3.
We cannot get the ipod and itunes to work together. Here are some of the problems:
- My mom bought two songs from the itunes store after she hooked up her iPod. However, anytime she tries to update, itunes says that the computer is not authorized to play the songs. We go through the authorization process, but the same error pops up immediately after. However, we can still play the songs through iTunes and on the iPod.
- We tried to update the ipod software to the latest version, but about halfway through the update the ipod disconnects. The ipod no longer shows up in the sidebar, but the update progress box still appears. Then an error box pops up saying the ipod cannot be updated and gives the error number 1436.
- I tried resetting the ipod by toggling the hold switch and holding the center and menu key, but when it powers back up it still shows that there are songs on the ipod.
We've tried uninstallng and reinstalling itunes, and connecting the ipod through a different USB port. It is not on a high speed USB port, could this be part of the problem?
Any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated-- we want to help her get this going!
Thanks!http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372
Try the steps you haven't in this article.
As for the music problem try fully deauthorize the computer and reauthorize it again. If that doesn't work then try deauthorizing all the computers on the account. Steps for both are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
The fact that you are not using a high-powered USB ports can be causing a problem, make sure they are at least 2.0 ports.
Also, when you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes did you follow this article? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
If you didn't then I would suggest it. I've had all these problems separately in the past so I feel for ya.
