I updated to 10.7.3 via Software Update

I updated to 10.7.3 via Software Update yesterday. Today, on visiting the App Store, it says there is an update still (to 10.7.3), not acknowledging the recent update that has been applied. Should I ignore it and wait until the next update, and do it via App Store instead? Or ignore it, and update via Software Update (as per normal)? I undestand there were some problems for some people who updated via the App Store to 10.7.3.

I don't know if you can. But, seems you have the latest. So Apple changed it in software update also.
I went to the Apple Store to see if showed any updates for me, and it didn't. Maybe it's a glitch, but I wouldn't worry about it as long as things are working correctly.
Also opened Software Update in System Preferences and checked for installed software. It shows both the Software Updated OS update and the Combo Update I downloaded and reinstalled afterwards.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE 1.0 just released via Software Update!

I just got a "Performance Update" through Software Update that states it is provided to "Fix hard-drive related pauses experienced by a "small number" of users".
I received this update on ALL of my machines that are running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't seem to be MBP specific.
Went ahead and installed it and I guess I will see if it makes any difference. I will be curious to see if this solves all the "Spinning Beach Ball" issues that have been rampant on this forum.
Was surprised to see that no one had posted about this yet.

Awesome Bagwan! :o)
That sure sounds like a ringing endorsement of this update! Considering how much of an issue this was for you before, the fact that you are no longer seeing the problem is pretty darned convincing to me!
I agree about the way Apple handled this, but they have always been very "Cloak and Dagger" in the way they respond to problems like this. Not wanting to scare off potential new MBP customers etc.
The little comment about "small number of our customers" is precisely what I am referring to. ;o)
The last thing Apple would want to do is publicly acknowledge this as a major bug because their MBP sales would fall through the floor until it was resolved.
People have to always remember that Apple is a business, and they need to always protect their bottom line. Their biggest one being SALES.
I am in no way an Apple apologist. I don't agree with a lot of the ways they do things when there are problems, but I do understand the motivation behind their actions.

No 10.4.7 update via Software Update nor manually for MBP

Via Software Update, I have applied the 10.4.7 update to a variety of machines, but, for some reason I have yet to determine, my MBP will a) not "find" the updated via Software Update to date and b) upon downloading both the intel Combo and Delta updaters manually, the installer returns this error:
"You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have rebooted, cleared caches, repaired permissions, ran DFA, etc. I removed some items from the Login Items area of my account in the Accounts pref pane. I have removed a launchd User Agent I created with Lingon. Each subsequent attempt check to Software Update says, "no new software" and each attempt to install manually results in the aforementioned error.
On this particular MBP, I have 2 partitions; my primary, large, daily use partition and a smaller, "rescue" partition with a functional OS on it. Running the manual installer allows me to select (and, sucessfully update) the "rescue" partition (which I did do). I booted from the "rescue" partition and, when selecting my primary partition during a manual update via the Combo or Delta installers, get the same error as mentioned earlier. So, booting from an entirely different "drive", I get the same error.
I also downloaded the combo version of the 10.4.6 installer thinking I may have a busted component somewhere preventing the recognition of this laptop as an elligible candidate for 10.4.7. It returns the same, exact error I get trying to manually apply the 10.4.7 Combo/Delta updates.
During my installation attempts, the drive has had upwards of 14GB free. I did apply the MBP 15" firmware update that was released a while back.
The Quicktime 7.1.2 update was recognized as available via Software Update and I installed it with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

Itunes 10.4 won't install on 10.6.8 via software update

everything is in the titel, won't update via software update and regular download on the apple website

From the Apple website; requirements for iTunes 20.4:
Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. See image below.
So it WILL run on 10.5, 10.6, and Lion which is 10.7.
That is why is shows up under "software update" on 10.6 computers.
The problem is with the installer on some computers.
I went to an Apple Store and a Genius had to us the "root" administrator account to install iTunes 10.4. It is a hidden administrator account.
So go to an Apple store or call Apple Care if you are still under warranty.

Firefox 3.6.15 is not downloading on MAC OSX, not via software update nor via manual download. It claims i do not have full admin rights which is not true.

If I do a manual download via FF website, it starts to install, asking if I want to replace an older version of FF. If I then continue, it says that it cannot process as I do not have access to 'certain components'????
I have full admin rights, it is f... my computer. I am running a Macbook Pro on OSX 10.6.6.
FF is giving me more problems lately, a.o. not showing certain flash elements (have latets flashplayer). Anyone else getting annoyed with FF?

HT4906 Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating to 3.2 via software update

my Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating via software update. How do I update to 3.2?

If you purchased Aperture outside of the Mac App Store, then be 100% sure it is located in your Applications folder. By far the most common source of problems is if you create a subfolder inside Applications (i.e "Photo Applications") and move Aperture there. Software Update won't see it then.
If you purchased Aperture via the Mac App Store, then use the MAS to update Aperture, as Software Update won't update stuff purchased through the MAS.

Apple updates failing (via Software Update and Manual .dmg) but other installs complete.

Hello,
Currently on an iMac 3.06 Core 2 Duo, 10.6.8
All the current updates in my Software Update (iTunes 10.6.1, Java Update 7, Safari 5.1.5) will not install, and will not install via manual .dmg download either. Other NON apple updates/installs I download will install via the installer just fine.
I've done the usual permissions repair from current disk utility version, as well as persmissions and disk repair via boot from install disk. Rebooted, no changes.
Console keeps showing similar errors as follows:
4/7/12 4:34:12 PM
installd[987]
Package Authoring Warning: Will not do obsoleting for package com.apple.pkg.update.softwareinstallerupdate.1.0 because it contains unsafe bundles.
I'm pretty stumped. I have a 1tb drive, and there is 60gb free. If this was a disk space issue, I would assume other updates would fail also.
Thoughts?

Same issue. Mid summer went to update Aperture, got to the "Moving items into place" and just stayed there. Then, when all the update for Mountain Lion came out, same thing with iPhoto's update. Tryed the .dmg's, same thing. Many hours on phone, established a second administrator account, checked out the HD's status, still the same. Booting into Safe Boot allowed the installation(s) to complete, but not a great solution. I thought that this was my machine, but my wife's near identical 13" MBPro did the same thing yesterday when she tried via Software Update. Again, Safe Boot allowed the installations to complete.
One thing, it seems only to happen on Apple's graphics or "lifestyle" apps ... iWork went OK, but Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie are the ones that seem to hang. Maybe that can help diagnose this. For what it's worth, I think the problem is something gone amiss in Apple's installers for some of these programs.

Are you trying to restore via itunes or icloud? Which ever one you're doing, try the other.
Its most important to make sure itunes is updated, any security software is disabled, and to try another usb port/cord (if using itunes on a computer)

Updates to the 10.7.1 software update cannot be used!

Updates to the 10.7.1 software update cannot be used!
Why? I have nothing to delete!
Software update cannot check for updates, because of network problems.
My network is no problem, I can open a webpage!

If it has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU, yes. Phone the Apple Store and order a download code for iMovie. If it's a Core Duo Mac, contact the Mac App Store staff and ask for an iLife 11 DVD.

HT4623 I'm trying to update my ipod iOS...when it says to go into "Settings/General/Software Update", I don't have a "Software Update" option in my General category. Is there somewhere else I need to look in order to get iOS updates?

Updating from the ipod itself is a feature of ios 5 or later.
You would need to update as always. Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod.
The first gen ipod will only go to 3.1.3

If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

The 10.5.7 Leopard update does not appear on my software update?

I currently have 10.5.6 Leopard, however couple of weeks ago i read an article that Apple had release 10.5.7 update. However whenever i click software update, it says that i have no updates?
How can i get this update, or make it appear on the software update? thanks in advance.

HI,
Go to the Apple Menu (Apple logo top left in your screen) then click Software Updates.
It's very important to read this material first before installing this update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3397
Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions before and after the installation.
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility.
Tip... this update may restart your Mac several times. Do not turn the Mac off. Do not stop it in the middle of the update thinking it's crashed. It can take about 15 minutes or more. So don't panic if the computer turns off and on several times before it's finished.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

I updated to 10.7.3 via Software Update
