HT1338 Software Update

My current OS X version is 10.5.8 on a MacBook. When I try to update software, I get a message stating all software is up to date. ???

You need to buy the next upgrade; Software Update only shows free updates.

HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
What do you get?
Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

HT1338 Software Update says it can not connect to the internet - why?

I had to take my MacBook in to have it worked on. I can't afford to buy a new one so I have to fix this one. I had OS 7.2 Lion installed. Since then Software Update will not work always saying I should check my network connection to make sure it is operating normally as Software Update is not responding. I also get messages that I am not connected to the internet. I tried to update iPhoto 9.2 to 9.2.1 and when i finally got it uploaded off the internet [took forvever] it would not load saying I needed iPhoto 9.2. to load it! When I tried to send what I had shot from PhotoBooth to iPhoto 9.2 it said I did not have iPhoto at all. Is there anything I can do myself to correct this situation? Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing?

Did this happen to you,too? Or something similar?

HT1338 Software Update does not show 10.8.5 Security Update 2014-002

I continue to have Mac 10.8.5 updates which do not show in the App Store Software Update. In the past it was always iTunes which didn't show. Now it's this security update. Why would Software Update not show these available updates? Instead it shows Mavericks and such as available updates, but not the current available security update for my version of OS X. I'm only aware an update exists because of online forums. Is this a widespread issue that is affecting everyone on Mt Lion?

Already tried that. We set up iClound under a new user account and it did not work.
(We tested iCloud Mail with Apple Sr. support yesterday, in a new user account. It did not work. Note, iCloud via web access via Safari of course will work, accessible from any computer. That is not computer-specific. But iCloud mail would not work on my Mac, nor in the Mail app, even under a new test user account. This was mentioned briefly in previous post above.)
Regarding re-installing ML, Apple support have never suggested that. They have only suggested moving my current data to a new user account, which as I mentioned is not realistic, and now with the new iCloud problem across any new user account, would not solve the problem.
How do you mean to re-install ML? Erase the HDD, reinstall ML, then restore from Time Machine?
I think Apple has not suggested that so far because they believe the problem is in the current Mac data, user account, and not in the system. They have told me migrating to a new Mac or even to Mavericks probly would not solve the problem. But now that it's a systemic issue with iCloud -- my previous issues with Software Update not working and appeared to be user account-specific, and still are – perhaps replacing the system software or upgrading to Mavericks will be worth considering.
They are currently elevating my case to "engineering." They will be looking at system data, I believe...
It's incredibly frustrating.

HT1338 software update is saying my safari is up to date but it's not....

I am running Safari 5.1.5 but when I run software update it is saying I am up to date. I have tried downloading from the apple website unsuccessfully.

There is a know problem with the Safari downloads from Apple, it's been reported.
Safari 5.1.7 is on 10.6.8 so your due for the update for sure, it's just they are having issues right now of a unknown nature, your the second I've discussed this with.
Wait it out and come back later or use Firefox in the meanwhile.

HT1338 Software update not working with snow leopard 10.6.8

When I try to update snow leopard 10.8.6 through the Software update, it launches but crashes with the message Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. Software Update can’t connect to the update server. But I do have internet connection. If I try to update from the terminal with the command " sudo softwareupdate -i -r, it tries to connect but end up with connection timed out. I have never able to update my system with software update utility. Does anybody have any suggestion?

Hi,
This reply may seem late but might as well share my findings.
I have the same problems with the software updater for 10.6.8 as well after trying to move on to Mavericks from
OS X Leopard 10.6.8.
Tried the patch as well the listed files to delete and etc but all failed.
Then I noticed the problem was with the software updater complaining that there was a network problem and even though the dignostics was run the results were no network connection exists but Air Port is connected and there is no issue browsing the web.
I took a look at the Wi-Fi settings and noticed that the default locations were going back to an old Wi-Fi network location I had latched on to 4 years ago! I assumed some screw up with the Wi-Fi network software and thus removed all Wi-Fi network associations and locations and reconfigured the Wi-Fi from scratch for my local home Wi-Fi network. After this the software update worked fine and can now download updates. Note that I did install the update patch by Apple though in my first attempt to resolve the problem.
I would consider the possibility of the Wi-Fi software services within OS X Snow Leopard being a bit "buggy".
Deleting all the non used Wi-Fi network associations and clearing or resetting the default location settings helped revive/resolve the no network connection problem with the software updater.
Now can move on to Mavericks...

Kirk,
One correction, you can access the same Internet Options from the Control Panel without opening Internet Explorer. These are the global internet/proxy settings for the computer.
Are you using a router by any chance? If so which model?
I found the following on another thread and it worked
for me.
Problem solved:
1.) Open Internet Explorer (6.x or 7.0 Beta 3)
2.) Click on Tools -> Internet Options
3.) Click on the Connections Tab
4.) Click on the LAN Settings button
5.) Check Automatically Detect Settings
6.) Click on OK -> OK
7.) Reload iTunes
8.) Update
Thanks!!!

HT1338 software updates quit due to an unexpected error

Hi, When I run Software update the updates quit before they finish installing. I get a message-quit due to an unexpected error. I have run disc utility/repaired permissions/verified the disc etc many times. I have been experiencing this for nearly a year.
I read this discussion for a similar problem but am unsure if it relates to my problem?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks O-P

TS2383 Re: MAC OS X 10.6.8 software upgrades not working
02/06/2012 11:19 AM (in response to Susan.new)

I'm getting the same error in verbose mode. I've made an image from an Intel iMac. My server, though, an Xserve, is running 10.4.8. I think the only difference (and I've gotten past images to work fine) is that I updated the Intel iMac to 10.4.9 in the new image.
What's going on? I've made close to 5 images and each one, the same error.

HT1338 Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again

I have been getting this message on MAC OS 10.6.3 "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again". Internet is working fine for everything else. Updating to 10.6.8 and applying all the security updates and patches [directly downloading from the apple website] has not resolved the issue. Read somewhere about a software update enabler for 10.6, installed it, but not helping.. [not sure of the update server settings to be entered] .Is there no way to make the software update work from the Apple Start Menu??

Problem solved.. Expired rules in Little Snitch caused the glitch

HT1338 Software update problem

I apparently have the OS X 10.5.8 and am trying to update to anything more recently so that I can update my itunes in order to sync my new Iphone 5. My system keeps telling me there are no updates currently. When I go to the Apple website and try to download a more recent version it does not let me because of system requirements. Do I really have to download every version until I get to one that will make my Itunes download and Iphone sync?

You are upto date for your Current OS X = Leopard = 10.5.8
The next step is Upgrading.
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
You will now be able to Sync your Phone.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

HT1338 software update doesnt show any updates

My update software doesnt show any updates after is checks but im running on 10.5.8 and i know i need to update..

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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:

HT1338 software update not working

the software update on my system is not working. Anyone know how to fix.

Could please explain to us how software update is not working for you? Your question as asked it so generic, it not possible to answer it. Maybe if you could be more specific as to how it is not working for you or what is is not doing that is causing you problems.

HT1338 Software update to Mountain Lion

Hi, I updated my software from 10.6.8 and now I can't start my computer. I get a message HDD damaged click to restart. And the process repeats.

Boot with the Snow Leopard install disc, launch Disk Utility, and repair the disk. If successful, see if it'll boot w/ML. If not, restore your bootable SL backup/clone or Time Machine backup.
