"Check for Updates" issue

I am just learning BootCamp and want to install XP. The first step in the installation guide is to "Check for Updates". It says to go to apple.com/support/bootcamp and see if I need to update my software. What software are they referring to? I am completely up to date according to Software Update. Is this for the newer releases of BootCamp? I see that BootCamp 3.1 and 3.2 are available for download and I checked and saw that I have 3.0 installed. I tried downloading 3.1 and it came up as an .exe file. I thought that that was a Windows format and therefore useless to me until I get Windows installed. Therefore, this can't be the update that they are referring to... unless there is something else that I am supposed to do with the file.
I guess that I am more confused than I want to be here. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

1 thing that I didn't realize when installing Win7 after bootcamp was set up was that after Win7 installation finished, then I needed to insert the Mac installation DVD to install the drivers. Had to re-do this 2x this past weekend after my MacBookPro had 2 be erased 2x for problems. & I had help of both Apple store & Microsoft store (right down the hall from ea other at our local mall). 1st time Genius bar set up bootcamp & then I sat there & installed windows7 myself. I didn't realize about the drivers but noticed it didn't look or act quite right. After the 2nd erase Genius bar set up bootcamp ready to install Windows. Then I was able to do the Windows install at the Microsoft store where I could ask them at decision points. They knew the Apple drivers needed to be installed after Windows was for it to work right. Big difference it runs smoothly.

  • TS1492 When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server.  In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air.  Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

  • I recently reinstalled Acrobat 8.1.  When I try to check for updates, it says that there's no internet connection.  I have checked settings and firewall.  No issues.  What's wrong?

    I recently reinstalled Acrobat 8.1 after a crash.  I wanted to check for updates but encountered the message that no internet connection was found, to check the internet settings or the firewall.  There are no issues with either.  Obviously, I have an internet connection.  How do I resolve this issue?

    Hello Coldwater Card,
    Please try the following steps and let us know if this fix your issue :
    Operating system hosts files map host names to IP addresses. An incorrectly configured hosts file can affect your computer's ability to connect to Adobe's activation servers.
    Follow these steps to see if there is a problem with your hosts file and to reset it if necessary.
    Click this link.
    If you see two Adobe logos, then you have access to the activation servers. Try activating or starting your software.
    Still have problems? Go to the next step.
    Start an internet browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, and go to:
    CS5.5: https://activate.adobe.com/test
    CS6 and later: https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/gdf/status.jsp
    If you see a test successful message (see screenshots below), then you have access to the activation servers. Try activating or starting your software. 
    CS5.5: Test successful
    CS6 and later: Test successful
    Still have problems? Proceed to Step 3. Reset the hosts file.
    Reset the hosts file: 
    NOTE: You may have to disable you security software to modify your hosts file.
    Windows
    Choose Start > Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then press Enter.
    Right-click the hosts file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file ashosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.
    Mac OS
    Log in as an administrator to edit the hosts file in Mac OS.
    In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    Type /etc.
    Select the hosts file and open it.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file ashosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.

  • ITunes 10.5 Parental Control Issue - Cannot Disable Check for Updates

    We are looking at updating to iTunes 10.5 in a large company.
    Normally we add the following key to lock parental controls and disable the check for software updates.
    This locked or greyed out the check for updates check box. This does not seem to work in the 10.5 release.
    This did work in iTunes 10.4.1.10.
    Here is the registry key we are using.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default]
    "AdminFlags"=dword:00000101
    kParentalFlags_Locked
    0x00000001
    1
    kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates
    0x00000100
    256
    Other parental control options seem to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Same problem here!
    Setting the Keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\blabla... works finde but neet to be able to set it global!

  • I cannot update iTunes. In instructions for updating it says to go to help and then click check for updates. Guess what! No help options within iTunes. I need to be able to syn my iPod touch 5 but I cant without the newest iTunes. I am sick of this crap.

    I am EXTREMELY tired of having to deal with this. iTunes has been an issue since I got it and unfortunately whenever I want to update my computer's iTunes account it demands I download a new format (which has continually gotten worse and WORSE over time). I wish things would not be updated so frequently. As soon as I have the new format working decently (ONLY decently, I have never had an apple product that has worked as it is stated it should) another update comes along. And THIS time, I cannot download it. First problem: I open iTunes. It says I need to update for my ipod to work. I think "great. I click ok and it will do it automatically!" Oh boy was I wrong. I don't do anything. I search up how to update things. It says ON THIS SITE: Go to help in the itunes store. THERE. IS. NO. CLEARLY. VISIBLE. HELP. SECTION. I have looked for FAR to long for this to be worth my time.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

  • My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

    Current platform : Linux
    Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
    Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
    Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
    I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
    Please implement for Linux users too.
    Thanks !!

    If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

  • FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins

    FireFox 3.6.8 & ThunderBird 3.1.2 check for updates never connects, nor does plug-in update or get plug-ins
    I am doing several re-installs.
    I installed FireFox 3.6.8 and ThunderBird 3.1.2 on a fresh install of Windows XP Home SP3 x32.
    All Windows updates and IE8, etc were done first after the WinXP install.
    IE8 works fine.
    Firefox can connect to the internet to view webpages, but NOT do a check for a newer version.
    (by going, on the main menu at the top, to Help --> Check for updates...)
    Neither can Tbird.
    See screenshots below.
    Neither Tbird nor Firefox will complete the add-ons check nor updates nor 'Browse All Add-ons' feature.
    (by going, on the main menu at the top, to Tools --> Add-ons --> Get Add-ons {upper left} or Find Updates {lower right for any of the selections})
    Another computer, same 'build' (different hardware, but WinXP SP3, etc) using a connection from the same router going out to the internet works fine, so it is not an overall connection problem outside of the individually affected computer.
    There is not yet any anti-virus nor firewall, etc installed that could be blocking things, except for Windows built in firewall, and there is no blocking action showing. Disabling it did not solve the issue.
    6 hours of searching has not found an answer. Trying some of the search results just to see has not proven to be successful.
    Thanks.

    dianej,
    Try this, go to tools, add-ons, extensions. if you have more than one (the latest) Java consoles, uninstall them. You only need the latest console and it should match the Java Platform in Plugins.
    I had a VERY similar problem displaying weatherunderground. It would not display the pages correctly and I would get pages of errors that stated
    "window.addEvent is not a function" I spent the last two hours fixing this problem. All I did was remove the 6.0.18, 6.0.19, 6.0.20 Java consoles from my 3.6.8 Firefox. After a FF restart, no more errors.
    There should be more information in FF when you update Java. No one tells you that you should go in and delete the older consoles.
    Good luck
    Mick

  • How do I allow offline use AND check for updates if online?

    I am actually not sure if this is a bug or not, as the behavior changed when I updated from 1.6u20 to u21. I have an application in a single JAR, and a JNLP file. I am testing with Windows 7 64-bit (with both the 32- and 64-bit version of the JVM installed, 1.6u20-b06 on both). The application cache is enabled. Here is my JNLP file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
    <jnlp
      spec="6.0+"
      codebase="http://hidden"
      href="Librarian.jnlp">
      <information>
        <title>Librarian</title>
        <vendor>Vendor</vendor>
        <homepage href="http://hidden"/>
        <description>Description.</description>
        <offline-allowed/>
        <shortcut online="false">
          <desktop/>
          <menu submenu="Vendor"/>
        </shortcut>
        <icon href="Librarian.gif"/>
      </information>
      <security>
        <all-permissions/>
      </security>
      <resources>
        <j2se version="1.6+"/>
        <jar href="Librarian.jar" main="true"/>
      </resources>
      <application-desc main-class="com.vendor.apps.librarian.Librarian"/>
    </jnlp>I am observing the following behavior wrt updates and allow-offline:
    When allow-offline is present:
    - JWS does not download updates to the JAR file when the desktop link is clicked.
    - The application can run when I disable the network connection.
    - The "-offline" switch is passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
    When allow-offline is not present:
    - JWS does download JAR updates when the desktop link is clicked.
    - The application can not run when I disable the network connection (HostNotFoundException).
    - The "-offline" switch is not passed to javaw in the desktop shortcut.
    What I want to happen is for JWS to check for updates if it can, and if it times out, instead of barfing, just go ahead and run the cached version. What I can get right now is either no updates + offline allowed, or updates + offline disallowed. However, I can obtain the behavior I want if I specify allow-offline then hand-edit the desktop shortcut and remove "-offline":
    When allow-offline is present but I remove "-offline" from the desktop shortcut:
    - JWS does download updates to the JAR file.
    - The application can run when I disable the network connection, after a short timeout.
    Now, I was under the impression that this behavior is the intended behavior of allow-offline: attempt to download update, on error, silently start the cached version instead. This does not seem to be the case. I actually wonder if this is a bug, as with 1.6u20, it seemed to download JAR updates just fine when allow-offline was specified (I had issues when the cache was disabled with 1.6u20, and so I moved to u21).
    How can I make this work the way I want without having to hand edit the desktop shortcut?
    Is this a bug, or am I misconfiguring (OED says this is a real word!) the application?
    Is there something else I have to do to indicate that the JAR is updated besides just uploading a new version to the server?
    It should be noted that I am not doing any web page magic here, I'm testing by simply downloading the JNLP file off the server and opening it. This is actually my first JWS experience and I haven't gotten to properly embedding it in a web page yet. I do not know if this is significant or not.
    Thanks!

    Well, I solved that quick. I've been staring at it for over an hour but it popped out at me as soon as I looked at my JNLP file in my post here (guess it's the red text, heh).
    All I need to do is set online="true" in the shortcut, and also specify allow-offline, and all works exactly as I want it to. :-)
    Perhaps it was a bug in u20 that was causing it to check for updates anyways even with an offline shortcut... I'm not sure, and I don't have it in me to test it any more at the moment.
    Thanks,
    M

  • HT1338 when I click on software update it says ''An error occurred while checking for updates.'' Why does it say that?

    So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!

    Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
    Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
    Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
    In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).

  • While checking for updates

    While trying to check for updates in the Mac store I get this message.
    Error has occurred. The request has timed out. When I click ok its says no updates avalable.

    Hi Wayne, see if either of these help...

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Windows update could not check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.

    I restarted my computer but still have this issue.

  • Can't find "Check for updates" option in Help menu

    Hello
    I am planning to update several adobe reader installations over a windows domain. First of all, I tried to do it in one particular machine without administrative privileges (not being Local Administrator).
    I am surprised of not finding the "Check for updates" option. What is more, there is no topic in the forums about this issue (?).
    Please, could anyone tell me what am I missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes I'm afraid that update must be run with administrative privileges... But there must be another way of updating a product across a network of 400+ clients without login in all of them ...
    I'm trying with adobeupdatechecker, to see if it is possible some kind of automation.

  • When I try to check for updates, an error message appears with no details. How do I get and check the updates on my new intex cloud fx phone?

    I have a new Intex Cloud Fx phone. In this, I go to 'Device in formation' and try to update the device by pressing update now, I get an error message that says 'an error occurred while checking for updates'. Also, it does not respond to the' last updated' command. When I press 'more device information' I can see’ OS version Intex_Cloud_FX_V07’. I have tried all kinds of procedures suggested on the net and elsewhere but have not succeeded in updating my phone, so far. This includes resetting the phone. I am using a Wi-fi connection. It seems that quite a few persons are facing this problem. There have been suggestions ranging from 'there is a bug' to 'there are no updates'. So, the problem persists, with no end in sight. I feel Mozilla should look at it.

    Hi!
    Thanks for contacting us today! I understand you are having issues with updating, and using the device.
    I believe that we are aware of the update issue however, it is ultimately the carrier/ manufacturer to provide updates. Please contact the respective company for assistance.
    As for device using, and things not working. Please provide us with more details. (Note: the bug may have already been fixed, but is available in a later update).
    Thanks!
