CS3 software updates - how to check

Hi all.
Could someone please tell me how I go about checking for software updates with CS3?
For instance its easy for Mac OSX, you just click on 'software update' in system preferences, but I'm not sure how to do it in CS3?
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Kevin

Many thanks Nini.
I've just done the check and the updates are being downloaded.
Much appreciated.

  • Software Update ignores Scheduled Check under Snow Leopard

    I've tried asking our local Apple Genius Bar about this, but they weren't able to help me.  Here's the problem:
    I've upgraded to Snow Leopard on my late 2006 Mac Pro last year and changed my daily user account from Administrator to User.  I run the Stanford Folding@Home on this Mac 24x7, so it is always on and awake.  I noticed that I stopped getting notified that Software Updates were available.  I regularly check the Internet Storm Center and they announce OS X updates as well as the Microsoft updates.  When I run Software Update, I am challenged for my Administrator account and password (as I would expect) after which the program checks for updates and identifies the updates that are available.
    My question to the Genius was why do I have to run this manually when I have set the Software Update preferences to Check for updates Weekly and Download updates automatically is checked?  I have checked this setting from both my user account as well as my Administrator account and they both show the same settings.
    Since then, I've added a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and I set it up with an Administrative Supervisor account and User accounts for all of the family.  The Mac Mini never notifies us of updates, either.  Plus, I supply tech support for my in-laws' Macs and they all exhibit the same behavior.  This has been around since OS X 10.6.3 (the first version I installed) and every update since.  So, obviously, I know how to configure a Mac to break Software Update, but how do I "fix" them to let everyone know that it's time to update the Macs?
    Thanks for any help you can lend me.

    The software update can be run within a Standard users account it they have an administrators user name and password.  I am thinking that if you set a schedule for an standard user and the account is logged on then software update will not attempt because that use don't have the privileges to change system information.  The Software Update schedule is saved separately for each user of a Mac.  Try leaving the administrators account log in and see if it works.  Note: Thus another user's account may automatically download updates even when your account has them disabled.

  • "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem" - help!

    Recently, when I perform a software update check on the pulldown Apple menu, I get this error:
    "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem."
    The only problem is that my network works just fine. I use the internet and get emails without any problem. But I can't figure how I can fix Software Update.
    The only relevant updates have been for Glims and 1Password. Oh, and note the same problem trying to access the App Store; I just get a "Can't connect to the App Store" error.
    Any hints?

    I have to solve all my own problems.
    The problem was due to Little Snitch. Once I upgraded from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2, my system works swimmingly again.
    FIXED!

  • Software Update won't check for updates automatically

    Hello
    Since my update to Lion, the automated Software Update (Preferences -> Software Update) won't check automatically for updates, even if it's configurated to check daily. I can see this behaviour on different MacBooks with Lion.
    If I check manually, I'll get all necessary updates - but not automatically.
    Do you've an idea or the same issue?
    Thanks & Regards

    If your logged in as Standard User it won't check.

  • I have an iPad 2, and in my settings I don't have the tab for software updates, how can I get it?

    I have an iPad2 and in settings I don't have the tab for software updates, how can I get it?

    Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
    You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

  • Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem....after firmware update

    I just bought a MBP w/Lion (10.7.4) and ran software update.  The first two items I updated were firmware for SMC (ver 1.5) and EFI (ver 2.7) and now my MBP says: "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem."  However, I can connect to the Internet to surf the web just fine.  This is the only update I've made.  Can firmware be uninstalled?  If I reverted to the image on my external drive that I did with CCC prior to the update, would that fix it?

    Hi! i hope i'm able to explain what i worked out and what worked for me. I had the same message coming up "no internet connection, run network/internet diagnosis" etc etc. Internet connection was fine. What i finally did:
    Open airport, check internet, internet options ; with me, IPv6 was set as  this (the letters are in german order and not in a english order, sorry...):
    In system prefs, network/TCP/IP  IPv6 was set to "automatic":
    I did change the settings in Airport back to "Link Local" and Software Update worked immediately normal whithout restarting the computer.
    No idea what changed the settings; however i did run permission repairs beforehand with no connection to any problems, just as a normal kind of 'maintenance routine'.
    Hope this helps others, it worked for me.
    Cheers

  • Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.

    The software update app fails with following error msgs. But all network functions fine.
    +A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.+
    +Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.+
    Deleted the software update plist files in $HOME/Library/Preferences, $HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost, and HD/Library/Preferences, as per some posts. no effect. Problem persists.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Same here
    The last update I managed to do without problems was +Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5+ - since yesterday the update process has become much, much slower and when I try to install +Security Update 2009 005+ and +iTunes 9+, it fails, usually with the aforementioned error, but also sometimes with Error 400 or Error 600, IIRC.

  • Software Update can't check for updates (Lion)

    Just downloaded and installed OSX 10.7. Tried to run Software Update and get the following alert:
    'Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “swscan.apple.com”.'
    Repaired permissions, created new user account... Issue persists. I'm connected to the internet. Software Update System Preference has no entries in the "Software Installed' tab.

    No I haven't tried to get the individually. I will just wait because I am not the only one in our household who's iTunes won't download app updates.
    The Software Update error has also now changed to:
    Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
    A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again.
    as opposed to earlier when it read:
    Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
    The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “matsus2.matilda.net.au”.
    So something has changed in the last few hours. Maybe it's not my computer and just something to do with the apple servers. The matsus2.matilda.net.au is the interesting thing as it has no relevance to our internet or home network.

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4 doesn't ask "Software Update" how do I fix this?

    I purchased my iPhone 4 when they first came out and I decided I wanted to get iCloud and for that it required an update. I want to update my phone so it is updated and have access to iCloud. However, When I go into settings - general there is no option "Software Update" how can I fix this?
    And I dont have access to an original computer anymore

    Taht way of updating only becomes available when you are running iOS 5.  Below that, you still have to wire the phone to iTunes on your computer and update from there.

  • Set Software Update to never check on client?

    For now, rather than figure out Software Update service, which seems more complicated than some other services, I'm going to push updates out over ARD to my clients (>25 Macs). I'm setting up the managed prefs for these clients using Workgroup Manager, and I would like to have the clients never check for software updates. I can't seem to find a managed pref to set this. Does it exist? Or, can anyone tell me the key and other settings to just manually enter this by hand in Workgroup Manager? I can't seem to find the check frequency setting anywhere on my personal Mac (not in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate nor in the ~/ version). Is there another way to prevent client machines from automatically checking Apple's SU servers short of making that change on every client individually? I guess I could set it before making my NetRestore image, but I'd rather do it through Workgroup Manager.

    I don't know how to do it through Managed Client, though I expect that you probably can.
    You can do it manually in Terminal.app using 'softwareupdate --schedule off'. To do multiple systems, use ARDs Send UNIX Command function.

  • HT4623 Under settings; general I do not have software updates how do I download and updates

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Other than main software update, how should I prepare Mac for Lion?

    I'm not at all talented at updating software and operating systems, etc.
    I am aware that i should do the software update from the apple symbol menu on the top left of our screens, but other than that I am unsure about anything else i should do before instaling Lion.
    I've resisted the urge to download it so far, i thought I'd wait to see how it went.
    One way or the other, i am going to get it, if thats where Apple wants to go, then it makes sense to follow them there,while i'm using a mac, but I just want to make sure I'm not one of those that are current;ly being told that they should have checked this or that before installing.
    I don't have any expensive applications to worry about becoming disfunctional, i don't really have that many apps on the iMac at all, but things like flash worry me, I'm terrible at comprehending the file system on any computer, so moving things around and deleting things terrifies me.
    Anyway, I just wondered if someone could give me a small checklist to refer to before I let the Lion out of it's cage.
    Thanks.

    First as mentioned above have a clone backup handy. HDD are cheap these days I personally have a clone copy of my snow leopard system in case I need it.  Use carbon copy cloner or superduper!
    Then make sure you dont need any of the any PowerPC only application. A way to do this is found on this page http://www.cultofmac.com/os-x-lion-kills-rosetta-powerpc-support-heres-what-to-d o-about-it/103458 .
    If you don't need any of these applications then go ahead and delete them.  Lion kills support for these applications so you won't be able to open them.
    A list of compatible liion application is found here http://roaringapps.com/
    then you can go ahead and upgrade or make clean install of lion.  I personally prefer the clean install and is what I did.  I prefer to erase my whole hardd drive and install clean.  Then used migration assistant and my clone backup to import all my settings and applications.  You can also install all applications from scratch if you prefer.
    If you want to make a bootable DVD or USB stick to make a clean install it's easy just contact me if you want the steps. 
    Hope this helped.
