HT201364 Hi, Im struggling with system update on my iMac.:(

As in subject - Im struggling with update of my iMac (silver 2008 ver) with Snow Leopard ver 10.6.8 .
I wanted update it to ANY system higher but the Appstore says I need a minimum of 2GB memory. I should have enough space but what memory does it mean? Isnt it RAM memory? please help me.... im hopeless...
Joanne

The 2gB refers to RAM memory.
The 8gB reference is for Hard Drive space.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

Problems with System Update 3.14.0019 after installation SP2

Have you encountered problems with System Update 3.14.0019 after installation SP2 for Windows Vista?
After this upgrade I view this error: "An error occurred while gathering user information."
Thanks for the help

A known issue. It wasn't supposed to be supported until SP2 is RTM. However, look at the stickied post in the forum for some bad news about SU.

Again problems with System Update

Hello
Yesterday I've newly setup my computer with Windows Vista. After this installation I have usually install Lenovo System Update first. I have installed the newest version (3.14.0008) and I'm trying now to use it, but it always tells me, that there are no packages available for my system.
The strange thing is, that the package index (around 400 KB), which is normally downloaded, is never downloaded. The connection settings in Internet Explorer are correct.
Does anyone else have the same problems? On saturday, everything went fine with System Update. Since yesterday, I'm unable to get any software or drivers.
Maybe there's a problem with the package server?
Thanks for any response.

Yes, we here in Germany have also problems, the same message appears.
The Update Server seems down, try again later or tomorrow.
See on "thinkpad-forum.de" are also users with this problems.

Are permissions updated along with system updates?

I have heard that permissions are updated along with system updates and that I should use only the latest version of Disk Utility rather than the Disk Utility that is on the original Snow Leopard install disk. Is this true? In my experience, there are times when the install disk is the best choice for cleaning up a problem.

Sometimes default permissions may change with a system update. In that case there may also be an updated version of Disk Utility.
It's always best to repair permissions using the current version of Disk Utility installed in the Utilities folder. However there may be times when repairing the hard drive and permissions only can be done from an installer DVD. In any event DU relies on a database of permissions, now, rather than a built-in set of permissions. Since the database is located on the system disk that's being repaired it makes little difference whether permissions are repaired using a local copy of DU or the one on an installer DVD.

Problem with System Update 5.01.0005

Hi.
I have a X220 (PN: 42912BG) with problem installing the latest TVSU. It would not start, it only give me a message saying it can not find the C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\System Update\ConfigService.exe. Does anybody els have this problem, and any good solution for fixing it?
I ve sent a email to Lenovo Support, but nothing happen - they say they forwarded my email to another team.
I tried to install a earlier TVSU 5 version, but it only say I have to upgrade my version. And then, back to the problem...
After installing TVSU 5.01 I no longer have the service called "System Update" availible in services.mcs.
And after this message the startup screen for TVSU5 coming, and a program stop working (Lenovo System Update TvsuCommandLauncher) stop working:
Hope for some feedback soon!
My computer is a X220, with Win7 Pro 64-bit.

Current SU release date is 02/04/13 version 5.02.007
If the installer fails (interrupted), as shown in screen above. You will have to hunt down the msi install log.
Go to C:\Users\**your id**\appdata\local\temp folder. Look for tvsuSetup.log.
Go to the end of the log, and post any error codes shown.
Note: running the install standalone (not update in place), will allow a shortcut to SU to be placed in the start menu.

Problems with System Update

I am using a 3000 N200 Model 0769-a8u.
Twice now system update has stopped working.
My installation history disappears and when I check for new updates I very quickly get a message saying there are no updates available. But no attempt is made to download the package information file.
The first time I had the problem I reinstalled system Update Version 3.14. I was then able to download the package information file and then download updates.
I have now reinstalled 3.14 but still have the same problem.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Trouble with Software Update on my iMac

Hello Mac Community -
I am trying to run software update on my iMac. Everything seems to be fine, the software update runs, it finds 11 updates. Then, when I hit "install items" a little box pops up asking me to restart the computer. I do so, but when I return to software update, none of the updates have been installed! They are all still listed in the software update box.
I've gone through the motions three or four times, and each time it is the same. It feels a little bit like groundhog day.
Any help would be helpful. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8
Thanks, Angela

it finds 11 updates.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. Install 2-3 updates at a time. Repair permissions & restart after each installation.
Never install more than 3 updates at a time. Your system will thank you.

Operating system update on my imac

i am unable to upload songs on to my new ipod because it requires itunes 7.1.1, and i am unable to download itunes 7.1.1 because i only have mac os x 10.2.8
I have tried downloading more recent versions of mac os x but they all fail...
the problem is that my computer has been offline for 9 months and hasnt been constantly updating as it previously did and now ive finally got it back online i dont know where to start. please help!!!
will i have to buy a new operating system....if so, which one???
cripes!!

imparja, Welcome to the discussion area!
OS 10.2.8 is the last free upgrade to the OS 10.2 series. See KB 75421, Mac OS X 10.2: Chart of available Mac OS software updates.
There is no free way to go from OS 10.2.8 to OS 10.3 or OS 10.4.
You could go to OS 10.4 or OS 10.3 but you will need to buy the upgrade. BTW, you don't need OS 10.3 to get to OS 10.4.

Several problems with Yosemite update on my iMac/27"/mid-2011, but first Preview won't work...

When I try to open a jpeg with Preview, I get an error message stating that I need to reopen Preview. This doesn't help. When I try to open Preview Preferences, nothing happens. I have had multiple issues with Yosemite since upgrading just a few days ago. This is just one of them.

Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following.
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

System Update error "An error occurred while gathering user information"

I honestly think that i'm never going to stop running into issues with Lenovos software....
Anyways, i've reinstalled countless times trying every way to fix things and nothing works. I will post my log for others to look at and hopefully help me out.

One thing I noticed is that if I visit the download link for the HelloLevel_9_14_00.xml here: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/agent/SSClientCommon/HelloLevel_9_14_00.xml
It shows up completely blank but everything HelloLevel_9_13_00.xml and < shows up fine for me. It appears this is the same issue the log is reporting saying that "this XML file is not well-formed" could this be a Lenovo issue though? No one else has reported this exact problem though so I guess not.
My model is a Thinkpad Edge E540 (20C6008SUS) with Windows 8.1
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The hello level 9_14 is expected behavior. The link is currently set blanks. Down the road, when a newer version of SU is available, and Lenovo wants SU to self update, this link will contain the self update information.
As you saw, hello level9_13 contains data.
My notes:
systemupdate506-01-15-2015.exe System Update 5.06.0027 hl=14 (02/05/2015)
systemupdate506-11-04-2014.exe System Update 5.06.0024 hl=13 (11/24/2014)
>>>> users of SU 5.6.0024 , which is hello level 13, will be offered self update of SU to the current release.

Network drives and System Update updating itself (Error 1327.Invalid Drive)

I have a Windows network share permanently mapped as a network drive on my system. This prevents Lenovo System Update 5 from updating itself.
Here is what happens:
Launch Lenovo System Update and click Next to look for updates.
When 'Searching for agent updates' it will tell me: 'System Update is updating itself. Your copy of System Update needs to be updated. Click OK to begin updating System Update.'
Click OK, Lenovo System Update will download the update and appear to install it.
At the end it will tell me: 'System Update was installed successfully'
Click Close, just to be sure I wait for a while so System Update can finish whatever it is doing in the background (if anything at all).
When nothing appears to happen I launch Lenovo System Update manually and it will tell me it needs to update itself again, and go to the same process as above. The update did not install successfully at all. System update keeps updating itself in a loop.
Next thing I tried is manually downloading the latest System Update version from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
I downloaded systemupdate503-09-17-2013.exe for my Windows 7 machine.
The installer detects to old version of System Update and offers to uninstall that. I click Yes.
A moment later the real error appears: 'Error 1327.Invalid Drive: S:\'
The only thing I can do now is press OK to close the installer.
The S:\ drive is my network drive which is permanently mapped to a share on my NAS.
It is not an invalid drive, S:\ opens fine in Windows Explorer.
I don't know why the System Update installer wants to access my S: drive in the first place. All my applications are installed on C:. While I did move some special folders like My Pictures and My Videos to S:, the relevant folders My Documents and Desktop are still on C:.
I have found a workaround to the problem above:
Close Lenovo System Update completely when it says it needs to update itself.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator (find it in the start menu, righ-click it and 'Run as administrator').
Type 'subst s: c:\' without the quotes. Replace s: with the drive letter of your network drive, and c: should be an existing regular drive.
Now run Lenovo System Update again and let it update itself.
You'll notice System Update now restarts itself after updating and there are no problems.
Once you are done with System Update, type 'subst s: /D' to delete the substituted virtual drive. Don't worry, this will not delete your actual network drive.
The workaround does the job, but it would be nice to see an actual fix from Lenovo. I have a ThinkPad X230 running 64bit Windows 7 Professional if this is relevant.

Please try either of the workaround.
1. Create a new Admin user, log on in that and then you can install Adobe Reader,
or
2. easier solution is just create a dummy folder on your machine anywhere, lets says Folder name "Dummy" in c:\
not go to command prompt
and type subst I: c:\dummy
and you are all set to go.
once you are done, you can remove that virtual drive mapping by
subst I:\ /d
please let me know if works.

Why is my iMac so slow now? Ever since I did the latest system update yesterday everything takes forever.

Ever since doing the recommended system update yesterday, my iMac has been e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y s-l-o-w. I get a spinning beachball with every mouse click, even just clicking on a red dot to close a window. Any suggestions?

It runs in single user mode. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO," you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

The Use of System Update?

Hi folks,
I'm new to the community and I recently purchased a ThinkPad T400. Anyway, I've installed XP onto the machine but I'm having some issues with System Update because my system is not fully supported yet. But, when it does become supported, I have to ask all of you--- what is the use of System Update?
I mean, does it detect all of the drivers and BIOS available specific to your machine? If so, is there really any need for me to go to the drivers and support page and manually search for each and every driver? Please, someone answer this for me. If System Update does it all for me, it would save a lot of time.
Thank you

hi yes system update is quite a useful tool if you wanna keep all your drivers up to date it also provides critical patches for certian issues when they arise through the packaga index server
if system update is working correctly there will be no need for you to manually checkout for drivers
Cheers and regards,

System Update 3.16

Hi, I have an issue with with System Update 3.16 running under Vista and XP.
I have done a clean install on a T43 and T61 laptop and installed System Update however when I run the program it reports that there are "No Applicable Udates For Your System".
System Update was working on these machines up until about a month ago.
Has anyone else experianced this? If so how can I solve this problem.

You state a "clean" install. Was this a Factory Recovery using the Lenovo service partition or did you use a windows install DVD? You state both vista and xp. Are you the original owner of the machines?
For the T43 and T61 state:
(1)exact model of each, ie T43 2668
(2)operating system installed on each, 32 bit or 64 bit currently
(3)factory shipped operating system, if you know it
It could be your machine is update to date. Did you run windows update prior to running System Update? Windows update could have installed most of your drivers.
You need to go the Lenovo support page, enter each machine. Then filter the list by operating system, and see what shows up. Any new updates you think System Update should be offering you?
Locate the SU run log and post it here via a file share utility, such as www.dropbox.com.
For XP:
c\Programfiles\Lenovo\Systemupdate\logs\tvsu_*timestamp*.log
For VISTA:
c\Programfiles(x86)\Lenovo\Systemupdate\logs\tvsu_*timestamp*.log
>>If I did not get the above correct, just search C drive for tvsu_
===
If your MODEL shipped from Lenovo, with ONLY an XP offering, you will not get Vista updates at all via SU.
(I can confirm this by looking at the SU logs).
The SU catalog page is model number+operating system type.
I suspect you took a XP only machine and installed Vista via a Microsoft DVD. Your feedback will help.

System Update - scheduling updates

I have a Lenovo SL500 and have System Update installed. I would like to schedule update automatically with System Update, and was led to believe this could be done. Indeed, the "Help" contains a topic, "Scheduling updates". This topic tells me to "Click *Schedule Updates* on the left menu". However, I do not see "*Schedule Updates*" on the left menu.
My left menu, in System Update, comprises the following items:
* Welcome
* Get new updates
* Install deferred updates
Advanced:
* View installation history
* Restore hidden updates
I have ThinkVantage System Update 3 installed, version 3.14.0024. This is on Windows Vista Home Basic.
What gives? Why can I not see "*Schedule Updates*", and/or how do I get it to appear?
tia,

This is a mistake of TVSU. Hotkeys 3.87 isn't for your T530. Please ignore it while we fix the mistake on our side.
As for APS, it will install on SSD system but it doesn't provide any benefit.
