Just released ! New Software Update - Java 5 Any suggestions?
My software update just advised me that there is a Java 5 upgrade. Any suggestions on this upgrade? Any special settings to Browsers after upgrade recommended? Thanks ! Geof
Just some more info,
Apple doesn't hasn't put out much info on the new Java 5. MacWorld/MacCentral has an small article on Java 5, but it doesn't say much. The link below will bring you to the Java 5 article at MacWorld:

Here is some more info:

It doesn't seem to be a necessity. I have also heard something about Google switching to the new Java but I don't know anything about it.

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.

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. -
My I phone 4s does not have an update option to get IOS7. How do I downloead?
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.
Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore

Good Morning,
I just did a software update on my phone (finally) last night and now my phone will not come on. It keeps showing the charger pointing up to a blue circle with iTunes inside and will not go any further. Can ANYONE help me please???The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

i'm trying to access my new icloud email acct from my mac. I have OS 10.6.8 and have just completed a software update. But still not seeing how to install my icloud acct...?
You must upgrade your OSX to Lion (10.7) minimum, Mavericks (10.9) preferably.

I just downloaded a new software update on my I-phone5. As part of the process I was asked to sign in to iCloud and enter the password for an ID that I've long ago deleted with Apple. Anyone know why my new apple ID isn't coming up?
No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now it does not show up in itunes nor does it turn on. I believe it just downloaded the software and never updated it. What do I do?
You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

I just checked the new software updates. They are iWeb, iPhoto, Keyboard Firmware and Leopard Graphics. Has anyone used them yet, how are they?
+The Software Update used to remind me, but even though I selected "Check for updates weekly" there's no warning?I would subscribe to wait a week or so after any update is released to allow time for people to write in
And put a few web sites in your daily bookmarks, MacFixit, MacIntouch are both excellent and often 'compile' reader feedback.
As long as you backup (and run repairs etc) before updates and patches, ie have a bootable working copy/clone, you are also safe. -
Wanting more out of the internet. Is there any idea if the new software update is going to allow a real player download. I also want to be able to open Microsoft spread sheets(word, Excel) in my emial. I would really like to be able to open them and also edit them but I have a feeling thats not goning to happen. doses anyone have any idea when the new software update is and what major topics is it going to address. Ringtones, Games, etc....

You already can, you just can't edit them.
[…] when the new
software update is and what major topics is it going

There's already a hack to put new ringtones on it, so we know it's possible (I wouldn't really recommend doing it unless you're really adventurous).
What I really need in an update is to give the iPhone the ability to transform into a robot. How cool would that be? -
I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are. -
I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?
You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers. -
New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!
Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
- Sam AmosNo one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
Have you tried the basics from the manual?
restart.
reset.

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?
