Lion software update didn't find updates

Lion 10.7.2 fresh install (not upgrade). Software updates always says "Your software is up to date. Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time." Same result after applying  10.7.3 Combo update. Many errors in console log like that:

I don't want to find and download updates manualy - I need automatic updates. Searching web a lot - no answer. Please help.

Back up all data.
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Software update unable to find update!

    When I launched iPhoto, a dialog box popped up saying that ver 6.0.5 was available.
    I accepted the update now option and software update launched. It searched for updates and told me that all my software was up to date.
    I tried this several different ways, tried turning off automatic software update, all to no avail.
    I've noticed that software update often won't find updates (it's set to check daily) but the individual software programs will (the iPhoto example is the last of several similar occurrences)
    I'm forced to visit the apple software update page and manually download and install the updates.
    Any ideas on why this is happening? Corrupted software update files?
    Thanks,
    Woodbarth

    The solution is simple. The software I didn't install since many months (iPod updater, iSight updater, Apple Remote Desktop etc.) isn't listed any more by SU. That's why it says "no updates, all is up to date".
    Don't know the objective or this change made by Apple. Maybe it's the spotlight policy:
    - Spotlight doesn't find and the user should believe the searched items don't exist on the HD... but they exist
    - SU doesn't show all updates and the user believes there are no updates available... but there are updates available ?-/

  • Windows Update won't find updates for Office 2013?

    Hi,
    I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
    I have Office 2013 Professional Plus.
    Whenever I check Windows Update for updates, it never seems to bring up updates for Office.  I assume there have been at least some updates to Office 2013 since it was released?
    My Windows Update screen tells me:
    "You receive updates: For Windows only."
    When I click the "Find out more" to get updates for other MS products, all that happens is the IE opens up on a page that says "Use your Start menu to check for updates"
    So... how do I get Windows Update to check for updates to Office 2013?  I feel very confused--I mean, shouldn't I be able to set Windows Update to check for updates for a whole host of MS programs (Silverlight, .NET, Office, etc.)?
    I've tried changing the Windows Update settings to include other Microsoft products but there's no option to do so when I check.
    Any insight would be appreciated! Someone recommended I ask here because I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise.

    Check for updates manually
    (Picture), install any missing or pending Windows updates and check the articles below.

  • Adobe Updater doesn't find updates, wrong version, hangs

    I have the full CS5. When I first installed, updater found a number of updates, and recently, it notified me of the update to Photoshop, so it was working.
    I just ran Updater after installing Acrobat, and it did not find any updates, even though there is an update for Flash Builder, which I ended up downloading manually. Additionally, it has the old interface, and offered to check for "All CS4 applications." Umm, wrong version. Now, the Updater icon sits in my Dock and won't quit.

    The Acrobat update mechanism is different from that of CS5 products. Did you try a "Help --> Check for updates" from with any CS5 App ?

  • Updater is not finding updates

    I have CS6 installed on my iMac and Macbook Pro.
    both run mountain lion and both were installed the same way using the cloud installer on the same day.
    The Macbook pro gets notification of patches, the imac does not. even if I manually select updates in the apps the updater reports no updates found. So I have to manually search and download patches.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi,
    Check for yoursef if you are able to browse : http://status.creativecloud.com/
    If the issue persist check for connection with:
    The updater accesses the following URLs to obtain update information:
        http://adobe.com
        http://swupmf.adobe.com
        http://swupdl.adobe.com
    See: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-update-issues-cs 5-cs5.html#main_Manage_Adobe_Application_Manager_updates
    Also check if you are a trial user or paying user, under trial it is not avalible:

  • HT1338 Apple's software update doesn't find any updates?

    Since updating to OS 10.8.3 the software update does not seem to work anymore. Recently iTunes came up with a message saying that a new version was available but clicking on the update option it re-directed to the App Store and a notification appeared stating that no updates were available. Doesn't make sense to me, especially if I search online on the Apple website I find plenty updates!
    Is this a known glitch or am I doing something wrong here? This problem has occured on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. Bye the way, an update to 10.8.4 hasn't changed a thing.

    Maybe this?

  • Mountain Lion Software

    I got a new mac air and downloaded the new mountain lion software, but it's not updating on my computer.  Does the software take a couple of hours to register?

    There's no wait time. What OS were you running before you tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

  • HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

    Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
    Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

    Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
    You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
    Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
    Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
    What do you get?
    Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

  • Mac OS X Lion Software Update service does not reflect 10.7.1 update

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard server to 10.7.
    Everything went ok, and the server tools are installed and working.
    Last week, Apple released the 10.7.1 update, but this update is not reflected in the Lion Server's Software Update service.
    Every time I start the catalog sync (either in the Server Admin app, or through Terminal), the sync process completes correctly without any errors, but the latest 10.7.1 update is not listed in the available updates.
    Did I miss something there ?
    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Additional info:
    I followed KBase art HT4771, and made the following changes:
    1. Stopped the Software Update Service and quit Server Admin app
    2. Updated /etc/swupd/swupd.plist to begin hosting OS X Lion software updates by typing the following Terminal command:
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'add :otherCatalogs:2 string index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog' /etc/swupd/swupd.plist
    3. Updated /etc/swupd/swupd.conf to allow OS X Lion computers to receive updates as follows:
         "RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
         RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
    became
         "RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
         RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
    After completing this and restarted the Software Update Service, the Server's Software Update Service could find all updates, including Mac OS X 10.7.1 and more Lion updates (Multi-lingual voices, Server Essentials, ... ).
    The issue is now that the client computers cannot find the Software Update server, though it is properly connected, regardless the selected catalog in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.
    I am now considering to erase all updates from server, delete all config files, and restart service from scratch.
    Any other idea before I start the big deletion ?

  • HT1338 How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon?  I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available"

    How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon?  I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available".  I contacted Epson and was told all driver updates had to be obtained using "Software Update"?

    You will find the latest Epson drivers herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
    If you don't find a driver for your printer in the above, then install the Gutenprint drivers. It supports your model.

  • Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5

    Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
    If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases.
