List my currently installed updates

Hi everyone: sorry if what I am going to ask is a very easy question. I want to get a list of my currently installed updates on my MacBook Pro. How can i do this? ie, a history of the system updates that I have installed. Can anyone help me out here, cheers, Adam.

There is no permanent record of installed software other than what is contained in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. The receipts stored there provide all the information used by Software Update and Disk Utility regarding system software and updates installed.
Generally there's little need to know what's been installed because Software Update will scan the system to determine if any updates are needed. Otherwise it's your responsibility as the system administrator to maintain your own records.

  • Why does 10.9.1 appear twice in list of recently installed updates?

    Today I installed the 10.9.1 update (German) on a MBP13 late 2013 that already had 10.9
    No functional problems so far - but the 10.9.1 update ist listed two times in the App Store's list of recently installed updates.
    I am not sure if something went wrong with the update, or if its only some display issue in the update list.
    Is this something I have to worry about?

    Thanks for the welcome!
    Both entries in the list of installed apps are labled "MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013)".
    Hopefully this is just some sort of mix up with an already started/running download in the background and the manually triggered download.
    In my App Store settings, I previously enabled "search for updates, download in the background & notify when available".
    I did not get any notification - I just opend the "updates" section of the App Store manually and it showed that 10.9.1 is available. When I clicked "Laden" (German for Download), a dialog opened telling me that the Mac will have to be restarted and that other current downloads would be cancelled (I had no evidence of any other download). When I cancelled the dialog, the 10.9.1 downloaded started, indicated with a progress bar... although I cancelled the dialog...
    But as everything else is fine as of know, I'll just ignore it.

  • Report of all Installed Updates

    Hello, Is there a report for seeing a list of all installed updates?
    What I would really like is a report of all installed updates on all computers within a collection.
    We have had a lot of problems recently with Surface Pro's not restarting and losing connection to wifi among other various issues. Mgmt would like to see a comparable list of what is installed on the computers.

    You need to go back to the requestor and tell them this request is nuts. There will be ~200 to 300 SU per PC or 3 to 4 pages for each PC.
    What you really care about is What SU are missing from a PC. This should be a much smaller list.
    Start with this report.
    http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2009/02/25/patch-compliance-progression-report.aspx
    I would also try to determine if this is a one off request, if so then take two pcs and export the Excel sheet of all SU for those PCs and manually compare them yourself.

  • Can't find installed updates

    Apple menu>Software Update There is no place to click for installed updates. It just starts checking for new updates. When I click "quit', the entire window closes. How can I see a list of updates that have already been installed?

    Open System Preferences and click Software Update. Simply click the Installed Updates button to get the list of your installed updates.
    Hope this is what you are looking for.
    P.S. I see I was a bit late on the draw, follow the above advice

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days.

    Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days". This is also the case with HP Printer Software update 3.0 and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.03. Clicking the "update" button for these doesn't appear to install the software, but lists it in the "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days" without removing it from the Software Update queue.

    Thank you. I tried that and even gave it a few days to do its thing, but I still get the same results. Remote Desktop, HP Printer, Digital Camera all still appear in "Available Updates", but the same versions appear under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days". BTW, I had to manually install the Safari 8.0.4 update because it also wasn't updating.

    In order to run Windows Applications, you must own the applications and, since they require Windows, you must own Windows. There are technologies like wine that will allow Windows applications to run without Windows, but they tend to be flakey at best.

  • Ipod disappears from itunes source list after installing update 1.0.2

    i plugged in nano to install more music. itunes asked if i wanted to install update 1.0.2 on my ipod, i clicked ok, and it installed. But the ipod never restarted or reappeared in source list or windows device manager (except briefly in devices when connected screen on ipod appears - but clicking stop just produced an error message that there was nothing to stop). it just cycled on ipod screen through apple logo, main screen and connected. ipod works fine otherwise. tried resetting ipod, restarting pc, different usb (although the original works fine when recharging son's mp3), reinstalling itunes - all no go. can't restore ipod as not registering on itunes or pc. any ideas before i grapple with apple phone support?

    All,
    I've seen this one more times than I care to. At first, I thought I had a bogus unit. After replacing the first one, hooked up with a knowledgeable in-store associate who helped me part of the way.
    Leodis' assessment of the update is correct. Apple needs to resolve the download portion of this update. It appears that the music, videos, and other content are downloaded, but the unit is left in an invalid state, causing it to cycle endlessly with the startup screen (Apple logo).
    In the short term, the best advice is to NOT download the update.
    If you are stuck with a unit still in this undesirable state, relax. There is hope.
    First you need to disconnect your unit, and reset it. First slide the lock button back and forth (from lock to unlocked). Next press Menu and select (middle button) at same time, waiting for Apple logo to reappear (or disappear). Next press the Pause/Play button along with select button. This will take your unit to "disk mode". At this time, the screen should show a check mark and a message indicating it is ok to disconnect.
    Before you reconnect the unit, it might be best to remove the iTunes software from your machine (using Add/Remove programs). I had to do this in order to get the software back to an "original" state. Basically, getting back to a point where you will be asked/prompted for updating the iPod software (of course, you will refuse this). Don't worry about your music, videos, etc. All of that library information should still be there in the original location (not the iTunes library location). You could also export the library, then re-import it later.
    Now you can re-connect your unit up with your machine. Wait until it is recognized by your system.
    Next go into "My computer" folder, you should see the unit there. You will want to right click the icon, and chose "format". This will re-format the internal flash hard-drive. Don't worry. It will not do anything to the ROM containing the bootstrapping software. Basically, you can't hose up this product, short of taking a hammer to it (which maybe by this point you might have contemplated that! )
    After the re-format, you want to install iTunes again. Go thru the same motions as before. Bu this time, it will pop up a panel indicating that the unit is in themiddle of a restoration. That's ok. Click ok. Then, once the unit is recognized by iTunes (appears in left panel), select the unit, and go to Summary tab. On that page, you want to click on "Restore" button to restore back to factory settings.
    During this restore, at some point, you will be prompted for that iPod update. Refuse it!! Don't do it. That's where we all got hosed.
    After the restore is complete, your unit will be functional again.
    At this point, go on your merry way and reload your media content back into the local library and then sync to your unit. This is also a good point to import your saved library info, if you exported it.
    Enjoy the nano!!!
    Sorry this is a long post. Unfortunately, it took a few days to figure this out. But at least it is possible to avoid the issue. I've verified these steps on both WinXP (home edition) and WinXP Pro.

  • Making Sharpoint task list an Enterprise Project message Project is currently being updated and can't make change

    I added a SharePoint task list to our PWA site. I then removed it and then added back. When I go to make the SharePoint task list an Enterprise project now I get a message dialog box that states "The project is currently being updated and we can't

  • After installing updates to Pages, Numbers, still old versions listed

    I have recently successfully installed Mavericks 10.9.1.  At Apple's suggestion, i went to App Store and downloaded (and subsequently installed) updated version of Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc.  However, when I open my Pages and my Numbers apps, the old version-numbers (Pages 09 4.3; Numbers 09 2.3) are still listed.
    Pages appears to be upgraded since at least one feature touted in the new version is available.  How do I verify that I have the new version? If I do not have the full version...?  Nate

    You have both.
    The new versions are in your Applications folder.
    The old versions are in your Applications/iWork folder.
    To check which you have opened:
    Menu > Pages (or Numbers/Keynote) > About Pages (or Numbers/Keynote)
    Be warned: These are very much cut down versions of the iWork suite. In Pages 5's case with over 90+ features removed.

  • HT1338 Im trying to update to current OSX currently installed is 10.6.8

    I seem to have migrated an old OS onto my laptop and am now trying to update the operating system. How do I get to the OSX mountain lion from the 10.6.8 version currently installed. sort of  techno-challenged

    Where my picture says "Download" you will see a price to buy Mountain Lion. Click on that button and enter your AppleID password to purchase Mountain Lion. It will then download into your Applications folder. It is about 4GB, so it may take some time.
    Given that you are self-admittedly "techno-challenged," do you know that some of your programs will not work with Mountain Lion, even though they work just fine with Snow Leopard?
    You can research all of your software here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Software Update no longer runs or lists installed updates :-(

    On a 20" and a 24" iMac (both in different locations and with Leopard installed from different discs) Software Update has not run (set to check daily and download updates in the background) since February.
    Also on both Macs SU does not list installed updates.
    On the 20" iMac I also got an error about no such files or directories when trying to download the new Airport patch. But Airport Utility was able to download and apply it just fine.
    SU is very badly broken and as is usual the AppleCare techs have no idea how buggy Leopard is in the real world.
    Regards,
    Jamie Kahn Genet

    Reset Ignored Updates is on the Software Update menu i.e. just right of the  Apple Menu. 
    Again if you don't have any joy then I suggest using Pacifist and your OS X install disc to re-install just Software Update.
    As SU seems to be having issues then replacing it should be the easy answer.
    kind regards
