Is it possible to slipstream OSX updates?

Just wondering if there's any way to slipstream OSX updates into an OSX install disk? Any thoughts?
It would make a 10.3 install on an older machine I have allot easier.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Not sure what you mean by "slipstream" (streamline maybe?) but here's my guess.
In the Software Updates menu there is a choice to 'Install and keep package'.
The kept updates can be found in HD/Library/Packages.
These can be copied to a CD and used later to install all of the updates in 10.3, if for example you reinstalled the OS from disk, or even wanted to apply those updates to another computer running the same OS.
It certainly makes it a lot easier. Note: all the updates for 10.3 over the years add up to over 800MB so you would need to put all of that on two CD's.

OSX updates, but one of the updates (iPhoto 9.4.3) asks for Apple ID that no longer exist?

Like topic.
OSX announced that there was available software updates, I started App Store and selected "Update all". OSX carried out the OSX update aswell as a few other updates, but left the iPhoto update.
When I manually try to update iPhoto, App Store give me the message "There is updates available for other accounts. Log in with [email protected] if you wish to update the program" (translated from swedish, so it might not be a 100% accurate to the english text).
The Apple ID that's on display is a Apple ID that used to belong to one of my former employees. The Apple ID is no more, it's deleted and the mailadress (not a me.com adress) that is the actual Apple ID is also deleted and not existing.
Furthermore, the update has greyed out the Apple ID, it's not possible for me to choose another for this particular update which seems very weird, any ideas?
Oh, if it's to any assistance I'm on a 2012 MB Pro, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.8.3
Best Regards / E

Apple IDs can't be deleted. If an application's associated with an inaccessible Apple ID, it needs to be deleted and redownloaded from a different one.

Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update?

Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update? It NEVER crashed until the update. The night before last it crashed 20 times in 45 minutes. I can't finish my project because of it.
Retina, Mid 2012
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

I don't understand the question. I am simply editing.
There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
Suggest starting with three things:
1) Update the software from the APp Store if need be.
2) Trash preferences.
3) Repair permissions.

Scrolling on Magic mouse no longer work after OSX update

I have just performed an OSX update and after restarting I immediately noticed that the scrolling function and other gestures no longer work on the magic mouse. I have also noticed that no gestures work on the Mac Book Pro track pad. The only function that works on the mouse is moving the mouse pointer and the buttons. Same goes for the track pad. Some great update that was. Has anyone else discovered this and how do I repair this loss of function? When I first initiated the update, I saw that there was a download required which mention some improvements for the mouse/keyboard but mainly updates required to support the new magic track pad. Is it possible to revert this individual update and if so how? Thanks.

You were almost correct, but not quite. You can see updates in /Library/Updates. I'm not sure what receipts is, but it didn't contain the track pad/mouse update package I was expecting to see. However, I did eventually find it in Updates after a trip to my local Apple store. What happened was that the original update process completed about 95% but for some reason crashed. When I restarted, it appeared that there was nothing wrong, until that is I tried to use the mouse and track pad. I presume that the update process uninstalled the previous package but didn't actually install the new update. I downloaded the the latest update from Apple, but it appeared to be older than what I downloaded from the Update process, so it wouldn't install. I would suggest that here lies a bug. The package install process did detect the new trackpad / mouse package but it didn't detect that it wasn't installed and should have prompted me to install it.

[DUPLICATE] Possibility to disable OSX Lion native full screen support?

The newly implemented (v14.0.1 as far as I can tell) support for native OSX Lion fullscreen supports makes it very useless in a multi monitor setup. The old full screen support let me use the fullscreen for Firefox (and not letting window widgets get in the way) and continue using other applications on the other screens.
Is it possible to disable the OSX Lion full screen support? Otherwise I think it would be a welcome addition to the next update.

Locking as duplicate. Replies should be posted in the original thread, here:

Applescript Progress Reporting - OSX Updates

All,
I'm trying to write a script that will track the progress of the command "do shell script "sudo softwareupdate -irv" with administrator privileges"
I know what I have is wrong so far, especially because "progress total steps" has to be an integer, but hopefully this will give you an idea of what I am trying to accomplish:
"set Updates to (do shell script "sudo softwareupdate -irv" with administrator privileges)
set progress description to "Installing OSX Updates"
set progress additional description to "Please Wait..."
set progress total steps to Updates
Updates"

So you can see a recurring dialog box that shows the current progress of the download? and you are using Maverick 10.9.2 ?
I have tried on three different Macs with 10.9.2, on different networks, and all with the same problem. The dialog box will not show before the download reaches 100%.
If you mean the "event log" in the applscript app. Then no, there is no indication of any error. Which also bugs me, or els a solution could possible be easier to locate.
OMG. while writing this, I just noticed you comment about no need for administrator privileges.. I remove that bit from the script, and guess what, now it WORKS Thx a million...

Does the latest osx update remove the flashback malware

Does the latest osx update remove the flashback malware?

From Thomas A. Reed's post:
There is malware (called Flashback) that has been actively taking advantage of Java vulnerabilities on Macs, installing as a drive-by download with no user interaction required when visiting a malicious web site. Apple's latest Java update patches these vulnerabilities, though it's still possible for that malware to use social exploits to trick you into installing it. You would do best to turn off Java in your web browser... you probably won't miss it at all.

OSX Update Failed To Install. Now Mail and App Store won't open

I'm currently running Mountain Lion on my unibody Macbook Pro. Last night I got a notification that there was an update (10.8.3 I beleive), so I opened up the App store and proceeded with the install process. The update details mentioned that this update would require a restart of the computer--it seemed pretty typical. Unfortunatly the update did not go smoothly and the computer froze while the progress bar read "just a few more seconds." It hung there for an hour. I did a hard shut down of the computer and when I booted back into Mountain Lion I found that I could not open the Mail or App Store applications. So now I cannot restart the OSX update that failed in the first place.
It looks like I have the same problem as the people on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4888648?tstart=0
Help me please.

Sometimes, the version you an get from the App Store fails during the installation, making some applications unusable. Just download and reinstall OS X 10.8.3 with the Combo installer to get the Mac working > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

ITunes won't open after latest OSX update

AFter latest OSX update iTunes won't open. Reinstalled iTunes. Reinstalled OSX update. When I click on icon in applications or in finder nothing happens.

This is what worked for me and others--original post found on this thread: Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
This solved my question by Linc Davis.......
According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
First, back up all data.
Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC 2014

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC. When trying to click on a specific line of code in a js file the cursor ends up in a different place in the script and several lines of code highlighted. Clicking again jumps the mouse to a different position and even more lines of code highlighted and some characters rearranged, breaking the lines of code. Very frustrating.

Preran,
I am having the same issue. I have a MBP connected to 2 x Dell 27" monitors over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. Once I updated to OS X 10.10.2 this cursor highlight/jumping around issue only occurs on the connected monitors. If I move the program to the main laptop display the issue goes away. It does not require me to restart the program or the machine to make it work correctly. One way I am able to identify the issue is if I go to the line numbers in code like I wanted to select multiple lines - in the one that works correctly, the cursor turns into a white version where the tip of the cursor points to the right. When it is wrong, the cursor stays black and will only have the tip point to the left. Its just another way I identified if it was working cause I tried uninstalling DW and reinstalling - didn't work. Reset preferences as you discussed - no go. And I used other editors like IntelliJ and Adobe Edge Code - all of which work fine and don't display this issue.
I tried the preferences reset you suggest and it doesn't work. I have another machine with OS X 10.10.1 on it and this issue is not there on any monitor. Any help with this ASAP as it pretty much stops you from being able to do any editing especially with longer pages as it consistently wants to page up when you select anything and if you then click again in another area it tries to move the highlighted code to that new spot.
Update: I have a USB Microsoft Arch touch mouse connected (always worked just fine). When I go to place my cursor at some point in the code it causes the highlight flicker. If I switch over and use the built in trackpad, then I can place the cursor without the highlight issue. When trying to select multiple lines or sections of code, that still see's the highlight, page up and move of code issues regardless of input type.

Embed iCal into iWeb through HTML snippet after Lion OSX update

How do I embed my published iCal calendar into iWeb through an HTML snippet AFTER the Lion OSX update last month? I use iWeb to create my classroom website but it no longer has my interactive calendar for my students. Help!

I am curious about this too, does anyone know how to embed a Lion iCal Calendar into iWeb?
I found an old walkthrough of how to do it, but on the published site it just opens ical and offers a subscription, you cannot actually see the calendar on the web page it is embedded on.
Thanks!

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

The latest osx update has caused keychain errors on my macbook pro...what should I do?

I downloaded and installed the latest osx update last night (10.9.2) and now I'm getting login errors when trying to download emails and keychain errors when using Google Chrome or Safari. I have no idea how to solve the problems caused by this update. My macbook pro is older - 2008. Help, please? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I should have clarified above....."keychain errors", not just login errors. Thanks again.
