Deploying updates - required question

When I am looking to deploy updates in SCCM. If for an update the required column is "0"...does that mean that update is not needed on any of the computers on my network?
If yes does that mean I should not deploy that update to my environment?

That indeed means that it's not required by any of the systems that performed a recent scan. If your not planning on creating situations where the update would be required then you don't have to deploy the update.
Keep in mind that a client will only download and install updates that are deployed and required on that client.

Does using Group Policy Preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed?

I'm trying to prepare our school system for Windows 7 (we currently use XP). I would like to use the new Group Policy Preferences method of deploying printers. I pushed out the XP client side extensions through WSUS. In my test environment, I added the shared printer in group policy preferences. My XP machine had the printers show up automatically, but my Windows 7 machine did not. I realized that I had previously connected a printer of the same type to my XP machine before and the drivers were already installed. To test this theory, I manually connected the shared printers to the Windows 7 machine, deleted them, then logged off and back on. Now the printers are showing up from group policy. My question is does using group policy preferences to deploy printers require the print driver to be pre-installed? If not, then what am I doing wrong? If so, is there a way to work around this? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: To clarify, I am using the share method in GPP. This is the error message I get in the event log:
The user 'PRINTERNAME' preference item in the 'win7 printer test {946461A1-27F8-406F-A0B3-0A1A05AF34F6}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070bcb The specified printer driver was not found on the system and needs to be downloaded.' This error was suppressed.

This link have a description of resolution:

Open the GPMC.
Open the GPO where the printer connections are deployed, and navigate to Computer Configuration, Policies, Administrative Templates, Control
Panel, and thenPrinters.
Note
The Point and Print Restrictions setting can also be found under User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Printers.
This policy is ignored by Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, but is enforced by earlier editions of Windows including Windows XP with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, and Windows Server 2008. We recommend that you change
this policy setting in both locations so that all down-level clients have a consistent experience.
Right-click Point and Print Restrictions, and then click Properties.
Click Enabled.
Clear the following check boxes:
Users can only point and print to these servers
Users can only point and print to machines in their forest
In the When installing drivers for a new connection box, select Do not show warning or elevation prompt.
Scroll down, and in the When updating drivers for an existing connection box, select Show warning only.

Weblogic.deploy update -- and that null message

So, does anyone else receive an inexplicable error message when running "weblogic.deploy update" in version 6.0, stating that a "java.lang.NullPointerException" has been thrown?
The update occurs anyway, but seeing a message like this is always disconcerting. Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
(The exact trace that I receive is cut-n-pasted below.)

and it's so well known how dare I ask.
Anyone want to give me a clue which of these two is correct?

I do not understand your question. An iPhone 3G can only go to iOS 4.2.1. You update to that iOS by:

Swap Error: Windows Azure is currently performing an operation on this deployment that requires exclusive access.

When swapping our deployments for a web role, we are receiving an error, "Windows Azure is currently performing an operation on this deployment that requires exclusive access." We have been waiting patiently for over 48 hours and the error
persists. We have deployed/swapped many times before without issue. The dashboards do not show any known Azure issues at this time. We are stuck with an out-dated deployment.
We have deleted the staging deployment and tried again and it still does not work. It appears to be an issue with the production deployment.
Other threads state to create a support ticket. So we have attempted to do so with the following scenario: We are a BizSpark Plus partner and have MSDN tickets available to use for support. It bites that we have to use 1 for this Azure
issue. However, it appears you can't use MSDN support tickets for Azure as each time you go to create a ticket, it kicks you back to Azure to force the purchase of an Azure support plan...??

If you have the MSDN support plan, please contact their local Global Customer Service center for assistance in creating a Azure support case.

You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!

Database, Dataset, Table Adaptors Error "Unable to load, Update requires a valid DeleteCommand when passed DataRow collection with deleted row"

Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I am new to Visual Basic programing and i am trying to understand the relationships between Datasets, database, table Adaptors. I have to following code that is is giving me the following error" Unable to load, Update requires a valid DeleteCommand
when passed DataRow collection with deleted rows".
I can track the error and its located in "OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)" code. What am i missing?
It seems that i can delete the data on the DataGridView Table and it only displays the correct data. but my database is not updating, even though the data grid displays differently.I can determine this because, when i save the offset database, i have all
the previous uploads and all the rows that i wanted to delete are still there.
My final goal is to be able to import offset data from a CSV file, save this data on the pc, send a copy of this data to a NuermicUpDown so the customer can modify certain numbers. From here they download all the date to a controller. IF the customer
needs to modify the imported data, they can go to a tab with a data grid view and modify the table. They will also have to option to save the modified data into a csv file.
Im not sure if i am making this overcomplicated or if there is a easier way to program this.
CODE:
Private Function LoadOffSetData()
        Dim LoadOffsetDialog As New OpenFileDialog 'create a new open file dialog and setup its parameters
        LoadOffsetDialog.DefaultExt = "csv"
        LoadOffsetDialog.Filter = "csv|*.csv"
        LoadOffsetDialog.Title = "Load Offset Data"
        LoadOffsetDialog.FileName = "RollCoaterOffset.csv"
        If LoadOffsetDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'show the dialog and if the result is ok then
            Try
                Dim myStream As New System.IO.StreamReader(LoadOffsetDialog.OpenFile) 'try to open the file with a stream reader
                If (myStream IsNot Nothing) Then 'if the file is valid
                    For Each oldRow As MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTableRow In MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable.Rows
                        oldRow.Delete()
'delete all of the existing rows
                    Next

                        Dim NRow As MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTableRow
                        rowvalue = myStream.ReadLine()
                        cellvalue = rowvalue.Split(","c) 'check what is ur separator
                        NRow = MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable.Rows.Add(cellvalue)
                        Me.OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(NRow)

                    MainOffset.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.MainOffsetValue          'saves all the table offsets
to the offset numericUpDown registers in the main window
                    StationOffset01.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.Station01Value
                    StationOffset02.Value = OffsetTableTableAdapter.Station02Value
                   myStream.Close() 'close the stream
                    Return True
                Else 'if we were not able to open the file then
                    MsgBox("Unable to load, check file name and location") 'let the operator know that the file wasn't able to open
                    Return False
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Unable to load, " + ex.Message)

Hello SaulMTZ,
>>I can track the error and its located in "OffsetTableTableAdapter.Update(MaterionOffsetDataSet.OffsetTable)" code. What am i missing?
This error usually shows that you do not initialize the
DeleteCommand object, you could check this
article to see if you get a workaround.
>> Im not sure if i am making this overcomplicated or if there is a easier way to program this.
If you are working CSV file, you could use OleDB to read it which would treat the CSV file as a Table:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27802/Using-OleDb-to-Import-Text-Files-tab-CSV-custom
which seems to be easier (in my opinion).

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required. help

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

My mac keeps saying "Update required" at boot time

Hi,
This is really beginning to drive me nuts. Every time I boot my Mac (ok, its not every day I do that, but still) it prompts with two options:
1) Update Required
2) Log on as Guest.
When I click option 1 and enter my password, the system boots and I get the normal grey login screen and can log on using my password.
No updates are available.
I then shut down the mac, and everything repeats itself. I cannot get rid of this "Update required" thing and its a bit annoying that I need to logon twice every time.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks a million in advance.
