Is the Apple Update Server working right now?
Hello,
I've been experiencing issues here https://discussions.apple.com/message/23817738 up until now. Out of curiosity, I decided tp ping gs.apple.com and an online ping of it. Both said the packet lost is 100%
Help.
@ elie
sorry to hear about your uncle m8.
as for the CSSU, when you have a backup and flasher, you may as well have willy wonkas golden ticket! there are more updates using it...but some things have issues since i started using it. my email crashes a lot right now...but i am confident they will fix it.
the unit is snappy without having to OC or maemodder it.
over-all...its good. especially for someone like yourself that can fiddle with it enough to make things work.
@richwhite

Is the Community Update Program working ok now?
In light of Nokia sticking 2 fingers up at all of us hoping for MeeGo on our N900's, and also pulling the plug on Maemo at the same time, it looks like we're on our own for support.
I know that the Community is rallying together to fix issues ourselves, and they have started work on it, but I recall posts saying it was a bit buggy and experimental etc when it first came out.
Is it running any better now, as I may have to start adding the repository etc to my phone to future proof it?
Cheers!

Please help & advise as how I can upgrade the iPhone to IOS5.Temporarily turn off or disable your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

Ive changed the DNS server on my pc, tried R,ec boot Tiny umbrella , had to use Total saver to recover my photos etc , but no idea how to change my iphone from a paperwight back into a phone, it just keeps saying the apple update server is unavailable.
Its a normal phone nothing done to it , was just updating the software when it went into recovery mode.
Ive pressed start and home buttons togerther , switched the phone off and on , switched the pc of and on and made sure i have the most recent version of itunes.
What next any ideas, thanks?Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me -
using MacBookPro late 2012, 13" I5,...... the only problem is cant download the support software, you can see on the pic! any sugestions? dont know how to contact apple, in my region there is no any official apple store so cant count on them. tried to download from mirror souses but there is no one who share those files old version doesnt provide full compatability with apple drivers and there are some issues with older ones that i downloaded from other sourses, so please tell me how to solve the problem and how can i download the new drivers?tryed a lot but still the same problem for a long long time
i have a question about the update server!! apples server is a specific sours right!? form where you download the updates if there are any. and all apples when check for updates are using the server as a sours to download those updates. lets pretend its a road splited into 2 ways, the left sight gose to apples ubdate server, the right sight gose to sowehere else i dont know where, so is it somehow possible that in network settings the server option changed to another location,meaning when i'm checking for update or want to download, the internet is not connecting the apples server like changed its way to onother sours which is not providing apples support, and now i can't connect to the apple update server. i know sounds rediculuse but any way as i'm not good in those things so asking to those who might know.
thanks in advance -
How do I reset my software updates to default back to the apple updates ser
How do I reset my software updates to default back to the apple updates server. I used ARD to send a unix command to download the software from my test server but now I don't know the exact path to point it back to the apple updates server. Below is the command line I sent via ARD. I appreciate any help.
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://mobileserver.virtualco.com:8088/index.sucatalogNiel, I appreciated the help and quick response. A friend did email me that exact command line and it work. john

I am trying to update my iTunes so I can sync my new iphone 5s and it doesn't recognize the phone, apple support said I need to update my iTunes when I try and do that I get an error message that says " the ITunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try back later.
My internet works fine and I have tried back dozens of times with same result.Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks! -
I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?
The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6. If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever client version is in question:
Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
To double check this applied you can run the following command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
MCX
Another alternative is to use Workgroup Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
Manually:
Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Press Edit…
Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
Press Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take over.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
Happily used and tested on my network
The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high speed without any configuration.
Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.
Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again. -

Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?
The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
You can also get the drivers from Canon.
But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?
