Have problem when using the Software Update...

My network works well and when I found there are updates in itunes iPhoto and some other software, I manually open the Software Update, and after the bar "checking for new software" it always says "software update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time". So I have to install 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 manually, and now my system version is 10.6.3, I have this problem since 10.6.1, and now I found there are so many software telling me they need updates, I can't do it manually because it's boring. So could anyone tell me what's the problem with my Snow Leopard? Thank you very much. I don't want to reinstall the whole system.

Thank you.
But as I found the two files, I deleted them, then I restarted my MBP, and the problem was still there... The software update showed the progress bar and it checked for a while and then tell me that there are no updates...

I have problems when using the camera on my iPhone 4S (the same for my daughter with a iPhone4) A veil around the blurred photo, a development impossible and completely unable to read the bar code or QR code. What to do?

Sounds kind of stupid, but check to make sure that your iphone case cover is not blocking the edge of the camera lens. I had a silicone case on my 3S and when it got older, it started tot slip and the edges of my pictures were blurred.

Using the software update created problems

Ok so I bought Leopard and upgraded from Tiger, then updated using the software update. Now I have a whole bunch of problems. My Apple Works is now missing, the program is just gone. All my Adobe programs now give me the error of Incompatible with current OS or some Your Licensing is not working error. I have a whole load of Adobe programs that should be working, like Contribute CS 3 and Photo Shop and Illustrator and Designer and so on. All of which worked under the 4.11 and the 5.1 OSes but now no longer work. This isn't even touching on the elimination of the Classic environment which i have a lot of programs that will cost way too much money to buy again for the new OS.
Anybody know how to get back Apple Works and how to get the Adobe products running again?

First set of problems, I had two software packaged programs go missing. Totally erased from the system. iWeb and Apple Works.
This would not happen after a software update, unless the directory got damaged somehow*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
That would give the machine a difficult time trying to find files on the computer.
Next set of problems my external firewire drive stopped being seen from the system.
This most commonly happens if a Firewire hard drive does not have the proper firmware to be used with the operating system in question. This is one reason most people recommend dismounting and disconnecting all third party devices before applying updates. This used to be a more common problem with 10.3, but not out of the realm of experience of people with 10.5.
The next most common cause is the clock battery dying, but not quite dead. Replacing it can fix that problem as well.
I should say that my system consists of several computers networked together.
I would have completely disconnected the computers before applying the update.
I can take my external firewire back up time machine drives and connect them to a PC and see the data. But my macs do not even recognise them, they don't even show up when plugged in.
This is further evidence the firmware on the hard drive was not yet updated for compatibility with the operating system.
Third set of problems, all the apple install disks became unreadable by my system.
This can be commonly caused by a dying optical drive, or bad permissions on the system, or a dying clock battery.
Fourth set of problems, all the Adobe programs became un-useable and returned errors. Adobe has been working with me on this and have been far more helpful than Apple has been.
That's a case of corrupt files, or files which were migrated from another system. Migration that is done improperly from a PowerPC to an Intel system may create issues with powerpc plugins on an Intel Mac. If your hard drive got over 85% full and/or the directory was damaged for any reason (especially forced reboots), that can also trigger such a reaction during an update.
Fifth set of problems just recently discovered, all my stored movies, music and podcast in iTunes is gone.
This is usually due to a directory issue, but can also be a dying hard drive issue.
Sounds like you have multiple symptoms pointing towards a few common possible causes. Directory damage, and clock battery malfunctioning, and needing a better firmware on your Firewire hard drive case. Replacing the hard drive case with a compatible one is simple enough. http://www.macsales.com/ makes the right cases. I would not go with LaCie, Western Digital, or Seagate cases. Western Digital and Seagate internal hard drives are fine in of themselves. Replace the MyBook hard drive cases with http://www.macsales.com/ cases and same with the LaCies.
I have Apple TV and EYE TV and a Midi interface box attached to my G5 mac. My G5 is the one that lost Apple Works and iWeb.
Remove the Midi interface box. It may help things work better.
My systems have the super drive on them and I have virtual PC and Softwindows installed.
Softwindows barely works if at all under Classic, and VirtualPC only works with version 7.0.2 under Leopard. If you got an earlier version working under Leopard you were lucky. You really needed to migrate to a supported emulator under Leopard listed on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
It says you didn't research your options well enough before upgrading to Leopard. This has been well documented in the forums before this.
Booted up from the Norton disks and repaired disk.
This is the biggest flaw in your plans, which caused ALL your problems. Norton is not compatible with any version of Mac OS X. It eats directories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only Alsoft Disk Warrior is safe and only after a data recovery attempt with Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang. We have constantly harped on the forums here that Norton is damaging to data. This has been known about since Mac OS X came out. It has even been called "Norton Kevorkian" by some.
You can't blame Apple for this. Your lack of research and lack of asking in the right places at the right time led to your failures.

TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now
does anyone have a sollution?

Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. 
''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?

I have just been installing the software update ios 6.1, HELP

I have just been installing the software update ios 6.1, it went through the installing process and then my phone went off to reboot and now it constantly flashing between off and on, I cant even turn it off as power button isnt working now. I have even tried to go into DFU mode, but with no luck. HELP

You need to be installing iOS 6.1.3, the latest version.
If you would like to manually install it yourself, here you go.

I need to delete programs that have been duplicated after the software update has been done. The computer won't delete them. Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do I delete the old program after it's been updated.

After upgrading software, it appears the old software isn't deleted. My computer hard drive is almost full so I need to delete a ton off of my computer. When checking the software that can be deleted I noticed I can the old software hasn't been deleted. How can a person do this? Any suggestions on how to quickly dump some programs.

Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.

Should using the software update service be faster for the clients then downloading from apple?

I've got about 25 clients, a mixture of Snow Leopard and Lion systems in the office. I've recently turned on the Software update service on my snow leopard server (10.6.8, mac mini) and have a transparent server setup for the software updates service (dns redirects through the mini). All the machines see the mini and I believe they are pulling updates from it when the client runs their software update. I haven't noticed any real speed differnce though from pulling updates from the mini vs pulling from apple (though I have noticed less internet congestion).
Should this be faster because it's a local network transfer or not?
Thanks!

I'm a little concerned by the statement:
dns redirects through the mini
Are you saying you're masking Apple's DNS so that requests for swupdate.apple.com end up on your machine? That's the wrong approach. You should be setting the client's preferences to load from your server instead of Apple's.
In either case, there are three components to running Software Updaate.
1: download the catalog of available updates and compare what's installed to the list to identify which updates are needed
2: download the appropriate updates
3: install the updates.
Of the three steps, downloading the catalog is a lightweight process - the index is only a few hundred KB, so the difference in loading this from your server vs. Apple's is minimal. Additionally, this won't make any difference in the amount of time it takes the client to scan for which updates are needed since that's all work performed locally on the machine.
The only step that will be significantly faster is the actual downloading of available updates. These should happen at LAN speeds, rather than your internet connection speed (which is, presumably, slower), but then again, most updates are fairly small - a few megabytes is typical.
However, if no updates are available, or if they're only small, you won't see much difference in time between local and remote. The main advantage of using a local software update server is that you only need to download the updates from Apple once, rather than once per client.

Problem while installing the software update inside eclipse

Hi Widget Experts,
I am facing an error while installing the software updates inside Eclipse,
I downloaded the SAP widgets development tool.zip from SDN and exactly followed the instructions given in
SAP widgets development user guide, but while installing the software update following the path( help->software updates-> find and install->
search for new features to install -> new archived site ) the select local site achieve gets opened, and i try to open SAP widgets development tools.zip,
at this point i get a message saying "Selected Achieve does not contain an update site please select another achieve".
Please help.....
Regards,
Santosh.

Fixed my problem.
Here is the folder structure of current zip file:
SAP Widget Development Tools - zip file.zip
 - SAP Widget Development Tools
 -- features
 -- plugins
 -- site.xml
The features folder, plugins folder, and site.xml file need to be the only thing in the zip file.
The new folder structure that works looks like this:
SAP Widget Development Tools - zip file.zip
 - features
 - plugins
 - site.xml

Recently installed a new hard drive and i am now unable to use the Software Update Feature?

Error message: The Software Update Server (192.168.1.12) is not responding? it then goes on to say check network connectivity but everything appears to be fine both normal and wireless. And also programs such as itunes or iphoto will say that there is an update needed and the updater will search and just come up with the error msg.
i have been searchin for a solution for ages and still nothing. iv tried a few things but nothing seems to work.
im running
Mac OS X 10.6.8
any thoughts?
thanks

In >Library\Preferences find com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist move it to the desktop, log out of your account then log back in and then run Software Update. If it runs smoothly delete the file you moved onto the desktop.

Have problem when using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

Hi, i'm new here... i having problem when trying to use execute immediate statement... :(
procedure code as below:
create procedure copy_row(
p_table varchar2,
p_key varchar2,
p_keyval varchar2,
p_user varchar2,
p_frmto varchar2 default 'FROM')
IS
V_SQL VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
if upper(p_frmto)='FROM' then
V_SQL:='INSERT INTO '||P_TABLE||
' SELECT * FROM '||P_USER||'.'||P_TABLE||' WHERE '||P_KEY||' = '''||P_KEYVAL||'''';
elsif upper(p_frmto)='TO' then
V_SQL:='INSERT INTO '||P_USER||'.'||P_TABLE||
' SELECT * FROM '||P_TABLE||' WHERE '||P_KEY||' = '''||P_KEYVAL||'''';
end if;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_SQL;
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20000,'PROCEDURE: COPY_ROW - UNABLE TO COPY ROWS! SQL='||V_SQL,TRUE);
end;
is there any limitation on using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command? i need to use procedure because i'm using old form builder.... but the database server was 9i which able to use this command, so... i decide to use procedure....
i've done some testing on this.... assume the structure of schema1.table1 and schema2.table1 are same....
SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE TESTING IS
2 BEGIN
3 exeCute IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO schema1.table1 SELECT * FROM schema2.table1 WHERE column1 = ''abc''';
4 END;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL> BEGIN

BEGIN
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA1.TESTING", line 3
ORA-06512: at line 2
any idea?? or have better solution other than this?
database server:9i
sqlplus:SQL*Plus: Release 8.0.6.0.0

Do you have an access to tables you are going to insert into / select from ?
Dynamic SQL checks the access permissions at runtime, not at the compilation stage:
SQL> create user master identified by master default tablespace users temporary
2 tablespace temp;
User created.
SQL> alter user master quota unlimited on users;
User altered.
SQL> grant create session to master;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant create table to master;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant create procedure to master;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn master/master
Connected.
SQL> create procedure wrong_prc
2 is
3 begin
4   execute immediate 'insert into master.t select * from scott.t';
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> create table t (id number);
Table created.
SQL> exec wrong_prc;
BEGIN wrong_prc; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "MASTER.WRONG_PRC", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
SQL> conn scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> grant select on t to master;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn master/master
Connected.
SQL> exec wrong_prc;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select * from t;
        ID
         1And don't use literals in dynamic SQL - you should use binding variables instead.

Oracle 9i Problem when using multicolumn bulk update with "save exceptions"

I'm running into a problem with Oracle 9i when running a multicolumn update with "save exceptions". The problem occurs when updating 4 or more fileds. (The data being updated are 40 character text strings)
I'm updating 1000 records at a time, in bulk.
The problem goes away when I don't use "save exception" (i.e. catch the exception the normal "pre-Oracle 9i" way) or when I use "save exception" with 3 or fewer fields.
(I don't get any exceptions when running without the "save exception")
Thanks

The problem is an ORA-14403 error detected during bulk updates only when "save exception" is used with more than 3 fields being updated.
Remove the "save exception" I can update any number of fields.
or
Reduce the number of fields being updated to 3 or less and use save exceptions and the 14403 error goes away.
(I'd like to use "save exception" without having to break the "update" into two separate 3 field updates.)
Thanks,
Len

Authorization problem when using the Transaction Launcher

Hi All,
We have an authorization problem when we call a transaction (EL37) in ECC from the IC Web Client.
We believe that we have done all the necessary customizing in CRM and when we press the link in the Navigation Bar we are asked to logon to our ECC system. After logging on, we get an error message saying that "You do not have authorization for transaction EL37". If I then enter the transaction directly in the white command field in top of the ECC screen, then I have no problem calling the transaction.
My user has SAP_ALL, so it shouldn't be a problem with the authorizations. Maybe it has something to do with the transaction IC_LTXE? I have also tried to add this transaction to my user profile, but that didn't help.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
Kind Regards,
Gitte.

Hi,
I have found the solution for the problem myself. The transation code in the Transation Launcher Wizard must be written in capitals! We had entered 'el37' and have now changed it to 'EL37'.
Best Regards,
Gitte.
