HT1338 6 point grey on grey type in Software update

Do any other non-teengers have any trouble seeing the 6 point grey on grey type in Software update?? Come on Apple, make it readable please

Always clone your startup drive before doing any updates or upgrades. I clone my startup drive to a second internal drive using carbon copy cloner so I'm able to get back to work immediately if any problems occur.

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.

Macbook stuck on grey screen during software update reboot

After I run my software updates, it tells me that I need to reboot to install them. However, it gets stuck on a grey "Software Update" screen. It will not allow me to force quit. I've even left the computer on overnight, still there. I have to do a hard shut down. Also, when I do boot it up and continue normal activity and attempt to do a normal shut down it takes me back to that grey Software Update screen. Even if I didn't try and run it for the day. Each time, hard shut down.
I took it to Geek Squad 2 weeks ago for this issue and a kernel error. They shipped it to Apple repair. They fixed the kernel error, but I cannot get this to update or remove the grey screen. I dread having to take it back in...but my warranty will expire next month. Any ideas? I am not getting the continuos spinning circle at that page or the Apple logo that I've read about.
Thanks!

Airport icon grey after installing software update Security Update 2007-004

Yesterday I installed Security Update 2007-004 (10.3.9 Client)(April 19, 2007) and since then when I wake-up my iBook (which was functioning fine prior to closing it and puting it to sleep) the airport icon is greyed out. The only way to get the airport icon to be black (functioning)is to restart the iBook.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have any ideas. I an running 10.3.9 on a 2 USB port G3 iBook with a snow airport.
Thanks.

Have you tried the simple solution posted by quovadis?

HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2

Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk. If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption.
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility. However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

Hello,
10.5.8 is as far as 10.5 can go, there haven't been any "updates" for some time for 1.5.x, what you need is a paid "Upgrade", but to see what might work on your Mac...

HT1338 Why will my mac not do a software update

Why will my mac not do a software update

Is there any error message provided that indicated why the update fails?
E.g. "An unexpected error occured" Anythng like that?
These messages provide guidance for people offering assistance so that it is targetted and appropriate.
Someone might suggest pulling a plist like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist but if the issue is insufficient space on the Macintosh HD or an error connecting to the Update Server or a security certificate error the removal of the plist would be pointless.

HT1338 Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card? I thought system updates are free. I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.

HT1338 my macbook air has not done a software update for over a year..

Please can some help and tell me how to perform software updates and switch on the auto update as i cannot believe there has been no software update for over a year!! .i have tried doing it manually via the software update section of the apple menu but it keeps telling me there is no update
many thanks

If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store to upgrade further.
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.8, you need to buy Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store, or if 10.8's incompatible with your Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

HT1338 How do you ignore unwanted/un-needed software updates in Mountain Lion?

Several software updates come available via the OS X App store, many of which I do not need, as they are related to software or hardware I don't have or use. Is there a way to ignore them in Mountain Lion?

OK..found another question like mine that already had the answer...problem solved. Thanks!

How to get Point Grey Dragonfly firewire cameras to work with LabVIEW 2010

We recently got a new computer. The O.S. is Windows 7, 64-bit. It has LabVIEW 2010 (also 64-bit) and the Vision Development Module, as well as the Vision Acquisition Driver. We also have Point Grey Dragonfly Express cameras. The first trial of using LabVIEW to get images from one of the cameras yielded greyscale images (they are color cameras). We then installed the Point Grey drivers (flycapture2.1.3.4_x64). After installing the drivers, the camera was is no longer recognized in MAX. Does anyone have pointers or advice? Thanks.

It's been a bit since I've messed with camera settings. But I think LabVIEW requires the NI-IMAQdx driver and the greyscale was from not setting the bayer filter. I can't poke around my camera settings right now, so I can't double check.
