Customise software update for Mavericks only
I am working on building up my MiniServer to do more than just file sharing, the next thing that would be nice is to cache software updates for the multiple instances of the Mac OS I run. When I turn on Software update, I can't parse the updates that are only for Mavericks unless I sort by date and manually manage it. That is quite time consuming and being that I don't use any version before 10.9 and soon to be 10.10, no other updates are needed.
I ask because storage is a bit limited in my case and it would be easier to have the server auto-cycle through a 15GB cache of the latest updates for Mavericks instead of downloading everything from the beginning of time.
Is that possible?
Software Update Server provides either full manual operations, or automatic operations.
Automatic operations fetch all updates, for all active OS X versions.
Short answer: Get more disk space. Aim your Server.app service data at (for instance) some big external disk, via Server.app > select the server at the left column > Settings > select Edit to the right of Service Data. That'll let you increase the size of your Caching Server caches, as well.

Why didn't i get a software update for mavericks?
When I hit software update, it only gives me iTunes. Why not a remimder to upgrade? I am currently in Os 10.7.5
An upgrade is going from one Mac OS X to another. (example) Lion to Mountain Lion to Mavericks
An update is going from (example) iTunes 11.1 to 11.1.3 and so on.
You can upgrade to Mavericks anytime at the App Store. It's free.
Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements

When we go to Settings>General, we do not have an option for Software Update...only About and Usage. How do we update the system on our iPad?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT5361 Mail update for Mavericks 1.0 is repeatedly not installing.
I have tried to install the latest Mail update for Mavericks. The update will not install for me. It appears to install, but never does. Any solution?
How do you know it isn't installing? For reasons known only to Apple, the version of Mail doesn't change to 7.1 as an update normally does.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.
you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly
After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.
You are welcome.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup. -
Help. I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection. It happens only when we are trying to access Movies. Very confused. Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update. Now this problem! Help!
re-add the shared lib

Software update for Nokia 2730 Classic
Hello, I want to download the software for my Nokia 2730 Classic, but I cannot find it in this page : http://www.nokia.co.in/support/product_support/phone-software-update Only the Nokia 2700 Classic is listed and the Nokia 2730 is not listed. Please tell me what to do to get the software update for my Nokia 2730 Classic.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Even if your phone is listed, unless you see the update available in the OVI_Suite you won't be able to do that. Connect phone to PC..Open OVI Suite --> Tools -->Software Updates and check.. If it shows any availability first back-up your data and then proceed for the update..

When will there be a software update for the Nokia N73?? I cannot use my bluetooth due to the newest software!!
Very annoying since i've just bought an expensive GPS receiver which connects with bluetooth.30-Aug-200701:05 PM

For me it was even worse!
First i went to the store where i bought my gps receiver. After investigation the told me to go to a "Nokia Service Point" to downgrade my software. So I did. At the Nokia Service Point the told me that they couldnt downgrade my N73, only upgrades. The only other thing they could do is give the number of the Nokia Service Desk or something.
The nokia service desk told my that i shouldn't have upgraded my cellphone to the newest software WHICH I DID NOT, i got it this way.
They offer my the following "solution": Wait for the next software upgrade for the N73. When i asked them when this would be they couldn't tell me!!!

hello .. Just wondering is there a way to download the latest software update for nokia e63 directly on phone and not via pc?
Sadly that isn't possible on the E63. It is possible on most newer models.
The only options for the E63 are to use a windows based computer or take the phone to a nokia care point and ask them to do it. -

It is a security update that updates a particular malware detection feature only found on Snow Leopard.
