Help with software update

I have Mac with Leopard 10.5 and want to connect my iphone 5 but it needs to have version 10.7 of itunes. I cant install itunes because the latest mountain Lion software 10.8.2 wont install and I dont know where to find 10.8. What am I doing wrong please.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

HT4623 Help with software update

I do not see a software update button in my general settings on my iPad....how would I update to ios7?

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.

Error message with 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.
Bruce

Hi baltwo.
I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
"You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

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.

HT4993 problem with software update

I need help how to reslove problems with software update on my iphone 4s.

Reset your device and try it again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss)
Also make sure you have enough free space on the device for the update file - usually requires 2 to 3 times the actual size of the file to be able unpack & install.

Hi All, I am using iphone in UAE and ipad in India usinging same apple id. Earlier I could do imessage to my Ipad with different name but with software update,I am unable to do, as signing id for the iphone and ipad is same.How to restore back

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
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

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.

Hey damien555,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Permissions Error Installing Graphic Update With Software Update

I tried to install Leopard Graphic Update 1.0 using Software Update and got a permissions error. There was also a message saying the package had been moved to the trash and to use the Finder to install it.
There was no package in the trash so I manually downloaded and installed Leopard Graphic Update 1.0.
I am running 10.5.2 on a 1 GHz iMac G4.
Has any one else seen this problem? Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Ditto for me when installing Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 via Software Update.
Manual download and install worked w/o a hitch.
Curious Note: /Library/Updates/Leopard Graphics Update/Packages/SUGraphicsDrivers200801-1.0.dist had odd permissions in that the admin group had read access but a different admin account had write access. This was the last account logged in prior to my upgrading to Leopard from the DVD, but Software Update has never been run from that account. I gave the admin group write access (from the Get Info window) prior to manually installing the update. I doubt that had anything to do with the manual install working, but it might have something to do with Software Update failing.

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..

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

Do firmware updates come with Software Update and installed automatically?

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.

Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, you must make sure you meet ALL of its system requirements.

Serious issues with software updates - please help!

A few weeks ago, I installed the 10.6.3 update (standard, not combo), and after everything was said and done, I was left with an incredibly unstable system - virtually all non-Apple software would crash on launch. I repaired my permissions, repaired the hard drive (which was fine, just a precaution), zapped the PRAM, etc. Eventually I managed to download the 10.6.3 Combo Update, applied that over my previous busto patch, rebooted, and everything worked just fine.
Until yesterday.
Last night, I installed Security Update 2010-003 - and all of those problems came back. By the time I rebooted to go into "Safe Mode," I had somewhere in the neighborhood of 220 application crashes - the only apps I found that didn't crash were Safari and Disk Utility (and Finder, Dock, and things of that nature). Repaired permissions, rebooted, and...
Kernel panic. Safe Mode yielded a different kernel panic. Anything I did other than booting from a CD caused a kernel panic. So, I restored from my last Time Machine backup, and now everything is just fine.
So - I've now had two absolutely catastrophic software updates in a row. I'm not even sure what this suggests, as my machine was completely stable and working like a dream before each of these updates - and is back in the same condition now. Does anyone have suggestions on where I should be looking to see what is wrong, or tools I could run to figure out why my computer turns into a very angry paperweight after applying patches now?

Hi C&A,
I know it may sound a lil freaky but i've done some research on this matter. It's basically a technical error in Apple's Software Updater, the connection between the internet & software disconnect or timeouts due to lack of high internet activity which is the main reason why the speed starts to decline while downloading the iTunes.
Solution. This would only work well if you've got a broadband, otherwise this can take alot of time.
*Start downloading iTunes from the updater, within 2 mins... log in to your Facebook, email, keep clicking on pages every 20-30 seconds, as this will keep the connection stable, keep doing this till the iTunes downloads completely.
