How to change store location of software updates on SUS on Mountain Lion Server?

Such thing can be done on 10.6 server, and 10.7 server... Not on 10.8 as far as I can see?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thx,
Vedran

Another option is to 'replace' the built-in SUS server with a third-party one. I am using Reposado which is fully compatible but can easily be told to store the updates anywhere you want and while I am running it under Mountain Lion can be run on non-Mac platforms. If/when OS X 10.9 comes out it will be possible to continue running Reposado under Mountain Lion and add 10.9 updates to it without having to upgrade the server itself.
Additionally, even if you run it on say Lion you can still download and server out Mountain Lion updates. The final major improvement is that you can define 'branches' like a released branch and a testing branch, so that initially you only allow access to new updates to machines configured to use the testing branch.
As of itself Reposado has to be configured via Terminal, but you can install a web-interface called Margarita to allow configuring in a web-browser.

How do I get Windows "Apple Software Update" tool point to my local server?

I have a Mac OS X Server, with Apple Software Update server running.
I also have Windows machines, with Safari, iTunes, and Apple Software Update, of course.
I would like the Windows version of Apple Software Update to point to my local ASU server. There isn't a preference for that, but there should be a registry entry, I would think.
Is this possible, if so how?
Thanks,
-Dan.

I can't accept this. According to Apple (http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/L355781BSoftwrUdtTB.pdf),
"Mac OS X Server also supports hosting Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for Windows."
I have already figured out that you can set a registry value that will make Apple Software Update for Windows talk to a different server to find updates, I just don't know how to get Software Update Server to cache the updates for Windows software.

Software update not working for Mountain Lion?

A chunk of my client's office 's still using Mountain Lion -- last week, I ran software update for about half of them, and installed the latest Safari & Security updates.
This week, I went to run Software Update on the other half of them, and no updates are available -- even though they're running Safari 6.1.3 and don't have the latest Security Update.
But the Mavericks macs still get updates available.
Did Apple stop supporting Mountain Lion and I just didn't get the memo?

How do I install the ScanSnap software on my new iMac / Mountain Lion?

I have been everywhere trying to figure this out. Fujitu's site tells me to simply update the software already installed. Problem is that it's not already installed. I don't have a disk drive and so I cannot install with the disk. I downloaded v3.2 (which seems to be the software itself) from the Fujitsu site but when I double click to install I get a small box indicating 'The following disk images cannot be opened' and underneath it leasts the ScanSnap.dmg with a reason of 'not recognized'. I know this is a popular scanner (I have the S1300) and so I am hoping someone has faced this and figured it out. Fujitsu's site is rather confusing on the topic.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can i change store location?

Select iTunes Store left side of the iTunes window then click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the iTunes window to change countries.
Apple - Choose your country or region
Be aware, for purchasing iTunes media, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Hi,
>> please suggest me, do I have to do anything special apart from the normal steps to uninstall and reinstall the SUP point on primary site server?
I just tried to reinstall the SUP on the Primary site(only one SUP on Primary site and there is a SUP on Secondary site). The SUP upstream data source of the Secondary site showed empty and greyed out. But the upstream data source resumed after a while.
It seems nothing special needs to be done.

Updating Apple applications in non standard location with Software Update

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone can help... I figured a solution but I am unhappy with it.
I like to move my applications like 'iPhoto' etc into a custom location, for example '/Applications/Media', and when I do so, 'Software Update' no longer finds updates for them because it expects them to be in '/Applications'. This seems a bit restrictive to me, is there a way I should be registering their new location so 'Software Update' can find them?
At the moment I am moving them back into '/Applications', going through the update process, and then moving them back.
Thanks for your help in advance,
cheers,
Rossputin

No way to change SU's behavior. However, you could try creating an alias, ensure it has the same name, and see if SU can find it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only purchase content on the Kazakhstani store because you created your Apple ID on that country. To change the country, see "Change your iTunes Store country" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How can I delete old Apple Software Updates from 10.6 server?

Hi guys!!
First of all, please, excuse my english......i know it's the worst possible and will try to develop it.
My question is the following.
The hard disk of my xServe is almost full and I need to delete the old Apple Software Udates that it contains (some of them are from 2005!!)
And I don´t know how to make it!!
I`ve uncheck the "automatically enable copied updates" option in Server Admin and I´ve check-in the "Purge unused/legacy software", but i don´t know how to delete the oldest Apple Software Updates because I don´t know where the **** are they!!
Thank's in advance from Spain.
Any help will be very wellcome

You could try what
s in <http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9289958#9289958>, or, as this is a new setup which isn't in use, you could just nuke the system and reinstall and this time use the correct DNS name.

I want to change my store and it says that I have a 0.11$ credit and should spend it how before changing stores how can I do it?

You can use your remaining store credit by purchasing an item, and paying the extra amount using a credit card, debit card, or if your country's store supports it, your PayPal or Click&Buy account.
I you don't have an alternate payment method you can provide, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

May I know how to solve this problem "iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable"
Thank you.

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

HT1414 How do I download iOS 5 Software update?

Please how do I download iOS 5 Software update if I'm not ready to update via iTunes?

I have a job, so I don't hang your every word as soon as you post a reply to a thread in which I've participated. Now I've read your other post correcting the fact that I put 6.0.2 as the latest version of iPhone software I won't refer to the version specifically any more.
So, is iOS 5 available for download?
I find you very aggresive in your approach and if it continues, I will more than likely only ask questions on here rather than trying to assist others.
I have better things to do and I'm just trying to help.
