HANG on the halfway of internet software updating
Hi,
My new MacPro facing a Big problem.HANG on the halfway of software updating after system disc installed completely!!!
Maybe you'll suggest me to re-install it again,unluckily,i've repeat and repeat the installation and then software updating as usual,BUT Hang again on the halfway...Oh my baby MacPro!!!
What do you think?
A. Before you do any updates, clone your original drive and boot off the clone to make sure it works, then repair your original. Start with Apple First Aid but then use 3rd party program Disk Warrior from Alsoft.
B. Why did you begin all over?
C. Maybe your DVD is bad or wrong version?
D. The destination disk drive is failing or needs to be repartitioned or zeroed.
E. Don't install the updates, there is an option to download only for later install.
F. Use another disk drive for Downloads. Also setup another disk drive for OS X so you can rule out present drive, "Emergency OS X" .
G. Are you losing internet connection during software update?
H. When you retry installing do you erase and install? archive and install?
Go to Utility menu just before begin of installation and choose Disk Utility and then repartition your drive.
I. Use standalone versions of 10.5.4 etc to direct download for later.

After the new os x software update i cant watch cnet videos or cnn videos
after the new os x software update i cant watch cnet videos or cnn videos
Hello Abel.
Welcome to the user to user Apple Support forums.
I have tired Safari and Firefox on CNN and the video seems to load just fine, also there isn't any widespread issue. So I'm thinking this is a specific issue to your machine.
I don't know why the videos are not playing, I'm assuming you have a fast enough Internet connection, but we can try a few things like installing any and all codecs and running some maintainence and repair functions that might clear the issue up.
Install the software at these two locations and reboot your machine, see if the site works.
Perian (installs additional Quicktime codecs)
FlipForMac (Windows media in Quicktime)
You'll likely come across media that requires these codecs eventually so for all intensive purposes it's eliminating a possiblity.
Also I just noticed the CNN site uses Flash, please update your Flash player plug-in here

What is the mac os x software update path from v10.5.8 to get current?
what is the mac os x software update path from v10.5.8 to get current?
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck! -
Updates to the 10.7.1 software update cannot be used!
Updates to the 10.7.1 software update cannot be used!
Why? I have nothing to delete!
Software update cannot check for updates, because of network problems.
My network is no problem, I can open a webpage!If it has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU, yes. Phone the Apple Store and order a download code for iMovie. If it's a Core Duo Mac, contact the Mac App Store staff and ask for an iLife 11 DVD.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.
The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again. -

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR ANSWERS..
Read this topic its about them: /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=24327#M24327
USB Mass Storage is the possibility to use your phone as a simple flash memory without the need of any additional drivers and apps, just plug it to you PC and write/read/copy the data.
UPnP is a something like a Wi-Fi protocol which allows u to view you images or listen to music on a compatible devices (PC, TV, music centers etc) over the air. -

I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Install Mac OS X lion fine without any issue
I'm trying to dual boot Lion and Wind 7 on different HD but when I ran the bootcamp assistance for software update I get an error that it can't download from the server.
I also try without downloading the software and do the installation but it fail. It seem that this bootcamp is giving problem so I revert back to SN leopard and it does the same. Why can't the bootcamp assistance update the software, is it something that I did wrong or my system is not supporting dual booting.
Here is my spec
Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66
Identifiers: Mac Pro - MA356LL/A - MacPro1,1* - A1186MacPro1,1 has EFI32 and does not support Windows 7 very well, can't boot 64-bit, can't use all your RAM.
There have always been trouble and issues, ways around those, but a big PITA too.
Select CD-ROM Boot
Select CD-ROM Boot Error Apple
Nothing to do with Lion actually. Other than downloading drivers from Apple servers has been mostly hit or miss, with miss being 90%.
I have rebuned the DVD (make a new ISO image using Imgburn etc) but now I just install Windows on PC then move the drive to the Mac. A lot easier.
Without 64-bit you can't use more than 1.9GB RAM. And you need Windows 7 Pro to use both processors. -
How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?
How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?
I am _very_ annoyed at having to answer this every day, day after day after day.Thanks, PJRS.
But if I'm reading that right, the only way to get the nagging to stop is to accept all the download that Software Downloads suggest.
Quite often it pertains only to software I never use. In these cases, I'm not interested in downloading it.
And also -- if I'm understanding that document -- I have to respond every time the nagging drops down (at least once per day).
99% of the time I have no desire to download the suggested software.
In ANY case, it is outrageous that the software resorts to harassing a customer without at least a readily visible means to turning it off
SO -- please let me know what I'm misunderstanding -- thanks.. -

It's still likely a security issue, i.e. maybe your firewall. See this... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
