HT3669 Xerox Phaser 8560 Driver - Apple Software Update Issue!
A long story that I'll attempt to condense.
I have a XeroxPhaser 8560 printer connected via ethernet and router to an iMac (OS X 10.7.5). It's worked perfectly for a couple of years but just recently I've been unable to print due to one of the following messages 'printer not responding', 'unable to find printer' or 'printer not connected'. The printer itself seemed OK (successful test prints on start-up) and I undertook network tests with the printer was easily found. After numerous restarts and reading troubleshooting guides the cause was a complete mystery to me.
I called Apple Support and the guy I spoke to was very helpful. We went through several proceedures with no success until he asked what driver was showing in System Preferences to which I stated 2.0.14. He was surprised as the manufacturers recommend driver was 2.0.13. Initally I thought that I must have downloaded the wrong version from Xerox or indeed Xerox updates were incorrect. First off I downloaded the correct 2.0.13 driver from the Xerox site. Deleted all printers/scanners from System Preferences (Print & Scan) and trashed the Xerox folder from Library>Printers.
After a restart I went back to System Preferences, found the printer on the network which not surprisingly generated a message 'printer software not found, do you want Apple to update this' (or words to that effect). Although I had already downloaded the driver I figured the Apple update might be a better option - wrong! The Apple update reinstalled 2.0.14 again and according to Apple's list of printer drivers this is their recommendation in complete contrast to Xerox's recommendation. Although I can't be 100% certain I'm pretty sure my problems started when I did an Apple Software update. If this is the case it amounts to Apple knocking out every Xerox 8560 model in the world as users run software update – quite a serious issue I suspect!
OK, so I go through the same proceedure again but use the driver I downloaded from Xerox with the same problem reoccurring. I'm sure I'm clearing out the old driver and I'm restarting iMac, printer and router. I'm at a loss as to what to try next so any suggestions would be welcome.
In the meantime if you own a Phaser 8560 I strongly suggest DO NOT USE APPLE PRINTER SOFTWARE UPDATE. I don't know about other Xerox models but after the frustration and many lost hours I've experienced I suggest 'if it ain't broke don't fix it!'.
OK. Here is something that works. So far. The last 30 minutes or so. Based on several long chats with Apple reps and all sorts of tries.
The short version is: Re-install Snow Leopard 10.6, and then go back to 10.6.2.
We’ve done it to two iMacs and it seems to be working. Note: 8560 connected via USB to one machine and “shared” with a second iMac.
How to:
First, turn off automatic updates. Apple>system preferences>software update.
That’s to keep you from automatically upgrading to 10.6.3 in the future until Xerox/Apple fix this problem.
Install Snow Leopard from CD. Check to see if it worked. On one of our machines we had to boot off the CD to get 10.6 to re-install. On the other machine we did not have to boot off the CD.
Lots of whirring and buzzing here…
Upgrade to 10.6.2.
Download is here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html
Delete, then add back the 8560 printer: Apple>system preferences>print and fax> click printer, hit minus, delete, then add back. Not sure this in needed, but won't hurt.
You might need to flush the printer’s RAM as well. Can do that from the panel on the front of the printer. Not sure this make any difference, but can't hurt. We’ve also had a problem with printer taking itself offline, but don’t know if this is a related problem or not.
Thanks to Andrew at Apple support for reminding me how to boot off the CD.
Hope this works. Please remember I am not a Mac expert. Just a guy who’s trying to figure out this problem. You may want to talk to Apple yourself first before trying this.

I installed the 829mb Apple software update on my 2011 Macbook Pro. Upon restart, it crashed. It instructed me to hold power button to shut off and then press again to restart. Same error message keeps coming up and computer won't boot to home screen.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP.
ROBBBoot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective. -
I updated itunes for my 64 bit system to 11.1.4. I was not able to detect my cd drive. I removed itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour and apple applications support. After a few attempts it now recognizes my cd drive but not by ipod. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Apple Software Update doesn't see connected HP printer. Need new driver
I recently installed OS X 10.7 Lion on my MBP, from Mountain Lion. I am working at a remote location and for a while and want to connect to a nearby HP LJ1320 (USB-only) printer. When I connected it, System Preferences detected it, listed the desired driver as "LJ 1320 series" and started a "Finding software" routine. It stopped and said software not found. When I went to support area of HP site, the offered no direct download link for 10.6-8, but instead steered me to ASU (Apple Software Update) as my driver solution. When I run ASU, I don't get any listing for updated printer drivers, HP or otherwise. I'm lost in an endless do-loop here that leads nowhere. Should I be looking at some open-source driver instead?
Typically that requires a special patch, but those are only provided to certain printers. I know what's keeping you from being able to install though. The database on your Mac that tells it what is and isn't compatible is out of date. What you will need to do is:
Disconnect the printer from the Mac.
Run Apple Software Updates.
Restart the Mac.
Once the Mac is back on, connect the printer to it, and add the printer's queue to the list.
That should be all that needs to be done. Let me know what happens.
I am a printer tech for HP. -
Apple Software Update is stuck in the "Checking for new software..." phase
I installed iTunes+Quicktime using iTunes64Setup.exe and so ASU got automatically installed as well.
When I manually start ASU, it immediately checks for new software and the progress bar stalls at around 10%. I have not seen ASU run by the task scheduler yet.
Bonus: The ASU logo has weird colours (http://imagebin.ca/view/XN2-zrN.html)
Is anybody also having the same problem?That's an odd one.
Have you tried a repair install of ASU?
Head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Software Update" and click "Repair".
Any help with the hang or the logo issue? -
Irregular Printing - Xerox Phaser 8560
I've had this Xerox Phaser 8560 for years and have been using it with Snow Leopard without issue.
Upon recent update to 10.6.3 (from 10.6.2) I am now having issues where one print will be fine, but then another separate print will just come out as data/numbers/multiple useless pages.
It's oddly inconsistent and it does not matter which program I am printing from.
I have removed/added the printer; completed restarts; checked printer firmware; reset printing system; etc... the usuals.
Anyone else having any 8560 issues?OK. Here is something that works. So far. The last 30 minutes or so. Based on several long chats with Apple reps and all sorts of tries.
The short version is: Re-install Snow Leopard 10.6, and then go back to 10.6.2.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install my HP LaserJet 1020 on my new Mountain Lion anyway I'm not able to find any driver! The HP says that I can update or install this printer using the Apple Software Update anyway I don't see any update or installation on it.
Does someone know a way to download a driver or find a solution for this problem? With previous version of the OS It was possible to download a .dmg for the HP LaserJet 1022 (the driver was the same for both versions, 1020 and 1022). I tried to download and install the driver for Snow Leopard anyway I don't see any entry when I try to select a driver for my printer during the installation phase (the list contain only two very generic drivers for HP printers).
Thanks for your time!The HP says that I can update or install this printer using theApple Software Update anyway I don't see any update or installation on it.
Updates are only available if the software has already been installed.
HP is responsible for updating their drivers for Mountain Lion compatibility. Not Apple.
Doubtful the driver for Snow Leopard will run on Mountain Lion. -
I can't uninstall Apple Software Update.
In trying to uninstall ITunes, I was given a checklist from Apple Support to uninstall certain programs in a specific order. I need to reinstall ITunes, and they said that I needed to remove it first. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit HP laptop. No program is removing this and it very specifically says to not remove them out of order.
Below are the instructions sent to me. (I tried to copy and paste. However, it doesn't look good, so I will include the link that Apple sent to me.)
Can someone please help?

Last Modified: Jan 30, 2015For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

IPod only recognized as digital camera / Apple Software Update unable to be uninstalled
This may sound like a common problem, but I've done a LOT of work trying to fix it based on online searches. With no avail, I think this problem can't be easily fixed.
As the question states, the initial problem is that my iPod Touch (1st gen I think, maybe 2nd gen, iOS 3.1.3) wasn't recognized by iTunes as an iPod, but only as a digital camera (Windows 7, 64-bit). At first I was content because I didn't have extra songs I wanted to add. But then when I cleared the RAM one day, the iPod restarted with the USB/Connect to iTunes screen. Finally, I had no choice but to try to fix the iTunes problem. So, as most people suggest first, I tried to update iTunes.
Unfortunately iTunes was unable to update. There was a rolling back error, that I traced to Apple Mobile Device Software by using the Command Prompt and logging the install log. Apparently, iTunes didn't have sufficient permission by Windows to delete the necessary files. I even uninstalled iTunes to try to reinstall it, but it didn't reinstall, leaving me with no iTunes at all.
Then I extracted AMDS installer from the iTunes installation package and logged that installation process to find errors. According to an online source, the driver was blank, so I first tried using pnputil.exe in cmd to remove the Apple driver package. This failed, so I manually went into C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository to find the driver to delete it so it could reinstall. Unfortunately, it still wouldn't install.
In addition, I changed the ownership of ProgramData, Program Files, and Program Files (x86) in the C:\ disk to Administrator instead of SYSTEM and gave full permission to myself (the administrator) and "TrustedInstaller." A risky move, I know, but I was desperate. I had hoped that this would give permission to iTunes to modify what it needed to modify, but this still didn't work.
Thus, I tried to remove all traces of Apple software that related to iTunes manually. This involved the Apple files in ProgramData, Program Files\Common Files, and Program Files (x86)\Common Files. Then I tried to uninstall the list of programs related to iTunes (Bonjour, QuickTime, etc). However, Apple Software Update refused to uninstall and gave an error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program reuired for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I fear in my deletion of files, I might have deleted something necessary for this uninstall.
I downloaded multiple forced uninstallers, but none of them worked - the same message showed up constantly. I went into the registry key to see if I could manually uninstall Apple Software Update, but this didn't seem to work either. I was too afraid to delete anymore files...
So here I am again, having walked in a complete circle in this extremely complicated situation. The files I deleted in my first attempt at a solution ended up hindering a possible actual solution. Any ideas to uninstall Apple Software Update, or to solve iTunes rolling back error, or to remove the connect to iTunes screen from my iPod would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated. I can live without iTunes, but my iPod is very important to me. If anyone has a solution to remove the screen without connected to iTunes, or connecting to a different computer's iTunes, I would be willing to take that course of action too.

Unable to install iTunes 5.0, cannot uninstall apple software updater
I am trying to update iTunes from ver 10.3.3 to 15.5.1.4 with no luck!! I can d/l the file, wneh it goes to install it through the update tool, I get an error saying the resource is unavailable, i have searched my entire hard drive for the file "applesoftwareupdate.msi" and its not here. Trying to remove it will not work either due to missing file. I have tried to manually remove the software tool with no luck. I am using windows xp. Is there anything i can do before i go through the grueling task of doing a full windows recovery?? Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
In my computer some of the iTunes files got deleted accidently and I couldn't reinstall it . Evrytime I try torun setup file I am getting this error message"C:\Users\Rif\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\" ,appreciate if anyone can help me on this pls?
Even after deleting all files and folders from hard drive i am still getting this error!!

I have an apple software update, it will not open at all, wont uninstall, wont repair nothing, what do i do because i cant even download it again as you have no options to do so, i need to install iTunes but it wont install without the apple software update, what can i do?
Interesting.
Sometimes those sorts of messages can be caused by disk/file damage issues rather than permissions issues.
So, just in case, let's try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an uninstall/reinstall or repair install to go through properly afterwards? -

Ken Powers (Last update 9/25/2006):
One additional note regarding Max Ustinov's comment:
If you have multiple instances of SQL Server, you will need to repeat this process for each instance. For example, I have a default instance and a named instance. I must add the appropriate permissions to the bin folder of each instance. The folder for the default instance is the same one Max showed us:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin.
The folder for the named instance is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\OLAP\bin.
The folder requiring the permissions will be shown in the event regarding "msmdctr90.DLL".
Max Ustinov (Last update 9/10/2006):
I had 2 instances of this event in a row on a SQL 2005 Server. The first error stated "Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT.mui. Reference error message: Access is denied". The second error immediately after said "Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin\msmdctr90.DLL. Reference error message: Access is denied". These errors may also be accompanied by event 1008 and 1023 from source Perflib.
I found that these errors are caused by the "Performance Logs and Alerts" service if it runs as "Network Service”, which is a member of "Performance Log Users" local user group. Although the individual DLL permissions are set, this group does not have enough permission to SQL AS bin folder. To fix this problem, for the "Performance Log Users" local user group, modify or add "List Folder Contents" permissions in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin.

According to Microsoft, there are three possible causes:
1.The component or manifest depends on another program or component that is not installed.
2.The manifest contains XML content that is not valid.
3.The user does not have the correct permissions.
See MSW2KDB for solutions to this problem.
This event occurs when you install SQL Server 2005 on a computer that is running the original release version of Windows XP, because SQL Server 2005 requires the GetSystemTimes function. The GetSystemTimes function is included in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and in later Windows XP service packs. See M922669 for details on this situation.
This problem can occur when you have version 5.2.3790.2426 or a more recent version of the Winlogon.exe program installed. See M914061 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
This problem occurs because the run-time libraries are not installed on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server. The applications that use side-by-side libraries cannot run without the run-time libraries. See M923014 to resolve this issue.

This event occurs in conjunction with EventID 32 from source SideBySide and it is caused by an application that was not packaged with all of the necessary runtime files. In my case this was caused by the Logitech SetPoint software and was solved by getting the appropriate C++ 2005 Redistributable Package.

Apple software update for windows does not work properly
Apple software update does not work properly
I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.
