No, I do not have any issues.
Please avoid using thier software if you can (They can update your computer remotely when using their software OR their software updates it self automatically.)

I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop. Running 10.10.1. What happened to it? Where did it go?

I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop. It is not in the menu under the Apple logo. It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
Can someone please explain what happened to it?
Where did it go?
Why?
Thank you!
Storm Petrol

The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

uninstall pse 10 (properly using the adobe uninstaller).
clean - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then try reinstalling using the adobe installation file(s).
if you see an activation count error while trying to reinstall contact adobe support, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
and ask for an activation count reset.

If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

I am adopting my daughter's old macbook pro laptop after my laptop crashed. Do I simply restore her old laptop to my latest backup? Will it update her old laptop to my user info?

Use these guidelines:

Can I transfer updates from my laptop to my desktop computer?

Due to the slow internet available in my area and the cost of Verizon service, can I transfer updates from my laptop to my desktop? I use the library forupdates as their speed is much faster and I can carry the laptop.

If you download the updates from the Apple Support site, instead of with Software Update, you can transfer them.

BIOS Updater tool for laptop says it is not comptible with laptop.

I have a Satelite C855D-S5106, and Toshiba says, when I go through all the dropdown boxes to select my model of laptop, that there are two (one older, one newer) BIOS updates for this laptop. However, when running either update tool, they both give me a notice, stating that they are not compatible with my model of laptop.
What do I do now?

The Toshiba service station can also update the bios.
Your support page is here - Support page
The newest bios update information:
Change History
Version 6.20 - 2013-01-21
Fixed: System hangs after settings are changed by TSS.
Added: CER key for a Smart DE issue.
This shows that it fix's system hangs after settings are changed by TSS (Toshiba service station), That tool shows you what updates are available, then downloads and installs them for you. Because of this I would update the bios though many believe that if its not broke dont fix it when it comes to the bios.
The Toshiba service station sometimes will show a bios update that does not apply to your laptop, it went away after a couple of weeks on mine.

DBMS_LOCK vs Select for update locking

Hi,
In one of our database packages, we are using the dbms_lock (that package is used to generate unique numbers) instead of select for update locking.
I want to ask what is more suitable here. Our application is oracle forms and oracle db on oracle app server.
Are there any limitations to select for update locking?
What are the conditions favourable to use DBMS_LOCK?
Regards,

DBMS_LOCK is extremely efficient. Try it. Put a call to obtain/free a lock in a loop and see how long it takes to loop a few thousand times (don't SLEEP in the loop, just obtain and free the lock). If you are having performance issues with DBMS_LOCK or your select it is probably because whatever it is that gets the lock (whichever way you get it) is taking a certain amount of time to finish.
I too, am curious as to what "issues" you had. In either case, a lock for consistent read will be different than a lock for update (as it should be) in terms of how it impacts other users.

Update lock up

recent update locked up my computer while trying to install. upon restart all I get is the apple icon and a spinning wheel. what do i do?

Hi Shane, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

HT4623 How to download iphone update software via laptop

How to download iphone update software via laptop

If your question is how to download it in its entirety first, so that you can update quickly and not have to worry about anything going wrong in the middle of the update, the solution is to download the update file separately, without iTunes, and without having to have your phone tethered to your computer while simply downloading. The download file is an IPSW file; softpedia has a link to it and complete directions for how to install it at http://mac.softpedia.com/get/iPhone-Applications/Tools-Utilities/iPhone-Firmware .shtml. Make sure to click on the correct download link; you don't need to install their downloader or any extraneous software.
Do NOT click on the big download button underneath this--
iPhone and iPod Firmware (iOS) 5.1.1.
Instead, click on the little bitty download button underneath that.
Once you get the file downloaded (the one today is 803 MB, so, depending on your internet connection, it may take a while to download), connect your phone and open up iTunes and shift/click on the Update/Restore button and then browse to tell iTunes where you have saved the IPSW file. I am told that, with Macs, you have to Option/click in iTunes to get to where you can tell it where your downloaded file is located.

Configure Update Lock

Hi
I have a requirement that in few series User shouldn't be able to enter Negative number.I am trying to use the "Configure Update Lock" to achieve the same.The details entered in Configure Update Lock screen are
Name: Lock Series A
Expression: Series Name < 0
Message: Number should not be negative
Save it and restart application server.
I found that it is not working as intended ..means even if i enter a number greater or less than 0 then also i am getting the message and data is not getting saved.
Is the expression correct or do i need to change it ?
2) If the series is already having Negative number and then i want to make use of "Configure Update Lock" to mention something like that from a particular date onwards system should not allow to enter Negative number then what should be the expresssion ? I tried to use If condtion but getting message like "Value should be True/Flase'
Any response is highly appreciated.
Thanks

HT4528 UPDATE LOCKED MY PHONE

update locked phone,

I'm having the same issue. My phone is locked in Recovery Mode. iTunes recognizes it as an iPhone in recovery mode and I choose "Restore" but what seems to be most of the way through the restore I get "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6)." After I first had problems I updated iTunes, but that didn't help. I'm on hold with phone support. I've yet to talk to anyone.
