Jan Software Update on another computer

OK, so I thought I was going to have no problem purchasing and installing the January Software Update on my secondary computer. I got the 1.1.3 update for my iPod touch, then updated iTunes to 7.6. I then purchased the JSU, and got it. But then I realized that I had to sync to my iPod to get it over there, and my secondary computer didn't have everything my primary computer had in its library, so I was going to lose everything. My primary computer was out for repair, so I decided not to sync off my secondary, and wait for the primary to come back from repair. Now I'm trying to get the JSU onto my iPod touch from my primary. But though iTunes Music Store says I already purchased it, I can't get it again from them to sync over to the iPod. How can I get iTunes to give me the software I purchased on this primary computer????

Reading through your message again, it seems you have some hope...

Can I use 'software update' for another computer hook up via firewire?

My wife has a powerbook that has problems. I had to re-install the original software and back up her files. The problem is I can't get on the internet either hardwire or through airport. It says the password I am giving is incorrect. I have no problem getting on line with my ibook. So my idea is this, Can I hook her powerbook up to my ibook using firewire and then use software update to update her opertaing system. She has 10.2. Thanks

You can manually download the updates and copy them via firewire to the other Mac. Once the updates are on the other Mac, you can run them from there.

Is iPod Jan Software Update tied to one iPod or one Account - No audio

I think I've been a good scout thus far. I've followed the forums, all the complaints and all the issues and STILL purchased the Jan Software update for my iPod 16 GB.
From the advice, I knew to back up my music, make the purchase and do an automatic sync from my mac to the iPod. Apart from a few hiccups this worked fine and the update did appear and I could use the applications.
Unfortunately, post-update, there was no longer any audio output from the audio (headphone) jack despite trying multiple headphones and trying to play music, podcasts or video. When I connected my iPod Touch to the iBook, the iBook could play media from the iPod with audio through the iBook's speakers so I knew there was audio.
Apart from the fact that this is highly irritating, I decided to take the iPod in today to a service centre who told me they would look at it and only contact me within 3 -5 days. I would probably get a new iPod if they couldn't fix my problem.
When I told them that my iPod had the knew update they told me that they couldn't/didn't know anything about this - and didn't know what new iPod would be exchanged or which software.
HERE'S MY QUESTION - in the event that I do get a new iPod Touch without the update or with a version lower than 1.1.13, will I be able to use my purchased Jan Software Update or do I have to re-purchase?
Thanks.

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

Hello
I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
Cheers for the help

Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??

How do you view lyrics on itouch with the new Jan. software update??
Thanks!!

1) You need to have the paid upgrade installed.
2) You need to paste the lyrics into the lyrics tab of a song/album.
3) You need to re-sync the Touch.
4) When playing music, you click on the album cover (in portrait mode only) and the lyrics will superimpose on the screen.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

How do I find recent software updates to my computer if I am running Yosemite with auto update

How do I find recent software updates to my computer if I am running Yosemite with auto update

Like what? Software updates are performed in the background if you haven't changed the default. Once done the old version is replaced by the new version wherever it resides.

HT1338 I have a macbook and I keep pressing software update and my computer version 10.5.8 and it says there are no updates anything I can do?

I have a macbook and I keep pressing software update and my computer version 10.5.8 and it says there are no updates anything I can do?

10.5.8 is the last release for OS X 10.5.
If you want to upgrade your operating system, you have to buy it, and it's not available via download. The next upgrade for you would be to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. In the US, call the Apple online store at 800-MY-APPLE and order 10.6 from the legacy products list. They will send you a DVD, which you can install, then use Software Update to get to the last release of 10.6.8.
If you want to upgrade further, and your sytsem will support it, you can call the Apple online store again to buy Lion or you can connect to the App Store to buy and download Mountain Lion. If your system will support Lion or ML, you probably should have 4GB of memory for reasonable performance.

I just bought the new iPhone, but it does not sync to my Macbook iTunes because it says I need at least a 10.6.8 software update. My computer is stuck on 10.5.8, however, and my laptop does not say that there are any software updates available.

I tried researching it online, and I think that my computer might be too old to get new software updated on it - I bought it either in 2007 or 2008. I just think that it seems unfair that I have to buy a whole new computer just to put my music and other things on my new iPhone. What should I do? I can't even buy the software update for Mountain Lion because it requires you to already have a 10.6 and I only have a 10.5.8. This is the most frustrating thing ever!

How do I install updates from another computer?

Got a macbook, and a windows.
How do I install updates for my macbook (software update.app updates) from my windows computer? Can i somehow download.. example, if i have snow leopard 10.6.1, can i then download an update on windows that updates my mac to 10.6.8?

Okay, cool. Is it always "Combo updater" or "Update Combined" that i should download?
I downloaded one of the 10.6.8 updates from apple.com, and it said that i needed 10.6.7 before i installed 10.6.8.
But I got paritioned HD's, one lion and one snow leopard, When lion 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 comes out, can I then download the updates on windows and transfer that update to mac and update just cool?
And how do i stay up-to-date with this?
And other software updates, such as fixes in the trackpad, and such random stuff (not itunes, mail, automator, etc updates, only Main OS updates..) How do i stay up to date with that?

Why do some websites tell me that my Safari needs to be updated but there are no Software Updates for my computer?

I have Safari version 5.1.10 and Maverick 10.6.8. I see that there is Safari 6 & 7 but when I run a Software Update, it says my computer is up to date.

Those are only for newer Mac OS X versions; you need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
