Do firmware updates come with Software Update
Yes.
and installed automatically?
No (at least, I can't think of one that has automatically run). Usually Software Update will download an updater that you then need to run separately. Usually the updaters will be installed to the Utilities folder ready for you to use.

  • How to re-update phone with software updates?

    Okay, so this is what I did:
    I installed the Symbian Anna operating system and then, in the Software Update app on my phone (Nokia N8-00), I selected 3 updates, which are:
    1) Symbian Anna update 1/2
    2) Symbian Anna update 2/2
    3) Symbian Anna service pack
    I did all of it via Wi-Fi, but the three listed application updates failed, so I attempted updating my phone with the use of the PC.
    After "updating", I checked the Software Update app and those three updates are no longer available. However, when I checked the Update History in the Software Update app, it still said that the three updates failed!
    So now, my phone only has some of the new features and not all the icons have changed.
    How can I get those three updates back so that I can re-update my phone properly?

    Try with the PC and Nokia Suite. When you go into Software updates click refresh and see if they wil come back up again.

  • Can I download an update on with one computer and install it using another?

    I want to update my Touch to 3.0 but my Mac at home that the Touch syncs with has a dial up connection so there is no way I can download the update- it's too big. Is it possible to download the update at work on a Windows machine and then somehow transfer it to my Mac and install the update?

    I have the same problem. I wish to download the update for a friend who only has dialup and has tried and failed to download the update himself.
    I'm hoping that the answer has changed (or will, Apple)??
    Alternatively, can he take his iPod Touch to an Apple Centre and have it updated there?

  • Chinese Word list Update 1.5 not downloaded and installed automatically

    On my Macbook Pro with Retina display 15 inches running OSX 10.8.3, an update called "Chinese Word list Update 1.5" show up on Update available list in Appfresh application. But when I click on install, Mac APp Store open to search for that update, but it end up with "No update available"
    When I click Software Update from Apple menu, the same thing with No update available occurred.
    On my system information, I have Chinese Wrd list Update 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1nd 1.4 installed. But I can't get this 1.5 Chinese Word list Update to automatically downloaded and installed as in the previous version
    Where can I download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.5 for manual installation? I cannot find it anywhere on APple support website
    This problem always occured when a new Chinese Word list Update is released. Why Apple won't make this update available for manual download or thru normal process of software update? Why Apple has to make this very suspicious update? I can't find answer anywhere on the Internet
    Can any expert here point me to download this chinesewordlistupdate.pkg version 1.5 so that I can manually install it please

    Any advise
    Perhaps it would help if you would do a few things to make sure the Apple update system knows that your machine needs to do Chinese.  This includes a) check the boxes to activate the simplified and traditional input sources in system preferences/language & text/input sources, b) download the additional 10 chinese fonts which Apple provides only when you try to enable them in Fontbook, and c) download the additional chinese voices which Apple provides only when you check their boxes in system preferences/speech/system voice/customize.
    It might also help to temporarily switch the OS interface to Chinese and then check for software updates.

  • Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 update issue with software update

    I have installed the Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 update six times and it still keep showing up like I never updated.

    Okay.  The Library>>Quicktime fix did not work at all for me.  On my MBA 13" 2013 I attempted to successfully install the PVF 2.0.1 update no less than 16 times.  On my MBP 17" 2011 - which I use for the bulk of my NLE editing - 6 times.
    So I decided to look more closely at the "backup" scenario hinted at by fox_m earlier - plus run down the instances of a file named "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" which is ubiquitous in both FCP Events and Projects folders and Libraries.
    First some background on what I found about this file "CurrentVersion.fcpevent".
    Each FCP Project and Events Library, be it the default named "Final Cut Projects and Events" or a Library you create with a custom name like "Old Stuff", will have two versions of this file - each with the same name - but with different content - presumably because one contains metadata pertaining to the project and the other to similar content related to the associated event.   Two files, each with the same name - for each event/project in the Library.  Hmmm.  Smell a problem?
    Also, FCP X likes to create Project/Event/Library content on your local HD and in doing so will create versions of this "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" if or when you elect to start a new library/event/project -  on your local disc.   If you subsequently decide to to move your project/event/library to an external HD - which I have done because I was not careful enough in the first place to tell FCP where I wanted this new "epic" stored, then you - like I - can wind up with duplicate instances of this "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" for the same Event/Project/Library.
    Thirdly, your FCP backups folder can also contain versions of this file.
    So what did I do about it?
    From my local HD (on each machine) I moved the FCP backup folder to a remote disc and deleted all instances of it on my local disc(s).  Then I did the same with all FCP Libraries, Projects, and Events packages or folders.
    Then I shut down, restarted, and re-installed the Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 update.  I launched FCP X (10.2) and made sure I could access my active projects and events.  Everything appears to be normal and the update prompts from the App store have ceased.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance

    I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance

    Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
    To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.
    Ciao

  • I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

    I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

    I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
    Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
    Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
    Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
    This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
    Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
    The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..

  • My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top.  It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking.  What to do?

    My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003).  It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top.  I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
    My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me.  I suspect a connection between these two problems.
    I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder.  It hasn't helped.  The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
    Help please!

    Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
    Cheers, Chris.

  • HT1338 Why does the iPhoto that came installed on my iMac not update with Software Update?

    I have iPhoto v9.1.5 that came pre-installed on my iMac. However, although there have been newer versions available on the App Store (currently up to v9.2.3) there have never been any updates available in "Software Update".
    Weirder still, when I go to the App Store, iPhoto is one of the apps showing as available to update. But when I click to update, the App Store sometimes tells me I "must log-in with the account used to purchase the application", and sometimes that "only apps purchased from the App Store can be updated". I've tried both the accounts I have with the App Store, but same result each time.
    I had a very disappointing experience with Apple Customer Support, speaking to several people in different departments - none of whom could explain why I couldn't update iPhoto, nor offering any kind of fix. Not what you expect from Apple!
    Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this? v9.1.5 ***** on so many levels - but then maybe v9.2.3 is just as bad and I should just trash it and use something else anyway..... Any advice will be considered!

    I've since found other posts on this issue (like https://discussions.apple.com/message/16434345#16434345), so at least I'm not the only one. Seems that Apple are being incredibly slow to resolve this. The only solution I've read is to get my hands on an iLife installation disc - and amazingly, none of the techs on the phone (I've spoken to several) have come up with this solution!
    But is there any other way?

  • Apple updates failing (via Software Update and Manual .dmg) but other installs complete.

    Hello,
    Currently on an iMac 3.06 Core 2 Duo, 10.6.8
    All the current updates in my Software Update (iTunes 10.6.1, Java Update 7, Safari 5.1.5) will not install, and will not install via manual .dmg download either. Other NON apple updates/installs I download will install via the installer just fine.
    I've done the usual permissions repair from current disk utility version, as well as persmissions and disk repair via boot from install disk. Rebooted, no changes.
    Console keeps showing similar errors as follows:
    4/7/12 4:34:12 PM
    installd[987]
    Package Authoring Warning: Will not do obsoleting for package com.apple.pkg.update.softwareinstallerupdate.1.0 because it contains unsafe bundles.
    I'm pretty stumped. I have a 1tb drive, and there is 60gb free. If this was a disk space issue, I would assume other updates would fail also.
    Thoughts?

    Same issue. Mid summer went to update Aperture, got to the "Moving items into place" and just stayed there. Then, when all the update for Mountain Lion came out, same thing with iPhoto's update. Tryed the .dmg's, same thing. Many hours on phone, established a second administrator account, checked out the HD's status, still the same. Booting into Safe Boot allowed the installation(s) to complete, but not a great solution. I thought that this was my machine, but my wife's near identical 13" MBPro did the same thing yesterday when she tried via Software Update. Again, Safe Boot allowed the installations to complete.
    One thing, it seems only to happen on Apple's graphics or "lifestyle" apps ... iWork went OK, but Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie are the ones that seem to hang. Maybe that can help diagnose this. For what it's worth, I think the problem is something gone amiss in Apple's installers for some of these programs.
    13" MBPro, OS X 10.7.4

    Have you checked your Purchase and Updates at the app store? You will usually need to accept them and then download/install. If that does not work, you can follow these instructions:

  • Bought a MacBook air but it did not come with the updates

    I bought a MacBook air today, and it did not come the software updates, everything on the dock looks really dated. Is this okay? I bought a different MacBook air earlier this week and it came with all the software updates, the one I purchased today is not updated whatsoever. Is this normal? Should I take it back and ask why it didn't have the updates? Or do I conitnue updating to it on my own?

    It sounds as if you did not purchase your machine through an authorized Apple dealer.  So I wonder, for example, if you actually purchased the very latest MacBook Air (2014 model) in a factory sealed box.  I recommend you make your purchase from an authorized Apple dealer.
