Error message after web software update

Every time I do a software update of the OS on my intel macbook, and no matter what Apple decides to update on my computer, after I do the requested reboot, i immediately get a message onscreen that Norton Utilities has detected new software, and do i want it checked out to see if it is a virus.
Is this message from Apple? I ask this question, because i have not loaded Norton utilities into my system. Perhaps stranger, I can not actually locate norton utilities on my hard drive. I did a spotlight search on norton and came up empty. Then i tried a search on symantec, which i believe makes this software, and came up with a folder in my library/startupitems folder called NUMcompatibiltycheck. Inside the folder is a file of that same name, plus startupParameters.plist, and a folder called Resources which contains two files called infoplist.strings and localizable.strings
Obviously, I don't want to make a terrible mistake by trashing files that the system may need to run properly. Can someone out there tell me if NUMcompatibiltycheck is the source folder for my Norton Utilities message? If so, can i trash the whole folder, without affecting the OS? and is this something apple pre-loaded onto my computer as part of OS X 10.4?

thanks for your quick reply. I did what you recommend, specifically trashing that folder I mention in my previous post. It may be weeks before I upload any new apps to my two macs, which is the only time this message from Norton ever appears. But I do have a good feeling this will solve it. I thought I'd better ask before trashing anything in the library folder.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I can't help with your issue as a general problem, but for the specific update to OS X 10.6.6, I'd download the updater directly from http://support.apple.downloads, then install it from the ".dmg" file. The specific links will be either
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349 for the "combo" update or
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1343 for the update from OS X 10.6.5.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then tap Settings > General > Software Update

Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update. Gray box just turns a lighter shade of gray

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update-not using App. Gray button just turns a lighter shade of gray and just sits there. Have done previous downloads last one on Jan.9 for desktop and two others.

So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
that's not working either... I wonder if you know
windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
raising the security settings but nothing appears...
interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

I downloaded the new update for the iPhone 4, then left my computer and it went to sleep. I came back to it to update my phone and the message "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." How can I fix this? I have already checked my LAN settings.

DLL errors @ boot after Lenovo software update. (E530)

Hi, My laptop wanted to do a update of the Lenovo software so I let it.
Now every boot up it comes up with two error windows.
DLL error's
How to get rid of this please?

Doing the first thing helped with the error messages a little bit. Also, editing the WPA networks allowed me to enter the passwords, which also helped a little with connecting when it wakes from sleep. I just ran software update again yesterday, and Apple now has an Airport Extreme update that addresses compatibility issues with WPA and WPA2 protected networks. However, I still had to reboot my router this morning to connect to the internet. Network diagnostics says that its connected to the network but may not be connected to the internet because it has a self-assigned IP address, and this most often occurs after a long period of being turned off or away from the home network connecting just fine on open networks.
The second thing, Applejack, sounds like a nice tool, but I'd prefer that this thing work the way it's supposed to, especially since it's only a few months old. Glad I bought Applecare.

Error message when using Software Update

Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
"None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
This is for the following downloads:
iPhoto 7.1.4
iDVD 7.0.2
iMovie 7.1.4
Security Update 2008-005
Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello b:
It sounds simplistic, but restart your computer if you have not already done so. I looked, but could not find that particular error code.

This is just a guess, and it may not work, but it won't make things worse.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the window, then press return.
defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
You can then quit Terminal.

Error Message "The iPad software update server could not be contacted."

I cannot access the iTunes software update server from my HP laptop.
I tired updating my iPad 2 via Wi-Fi to the new software and it crashed. The dreaded USB and iTunes symbols appeared and I cannot reset the iPad because when I plug it into the laptop I get an error message saying | cannot contact the iTunes software update server.
I tried a manual reset by holding down the reset/sleep and home buttons and the symbols appear again.
HELP!!!

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

You need to be connected to iTunes on your computer which in turn needs to have an active Internet connection.

I received an error message after trying to update Firefox and can no longer access Firefox. What do I do?

I received a notice to update Firefox, so I did. During installation, I received an error message stating "The procedure entry point GetLogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link and can no longer get into firefox at all. What do I do? I even uninstalled it, restarted my computer, and tried reinstalling it, and it still won't work. I'm also receiving a message that firefox.exe has encountered a problem. Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you.

Error message after installing latest update

Since installing latest update 11.0.2.26, I am receiving error message: An unknown error occurred (-42110)
Itunes does work, however, when I close this message down.
Can anything be done? What does it mean? Am I better off just holding out until the next update and hope it fixes itself?

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:
