Mavericks update not listed in software updates on server
I have several Mac clients enrolled with OS X server. They are set to look to this server for software updates to reduce bandwidth usage. When they search for the update, it is not available. The 10.9 update is not listed in Software Updates inside of OS X Server.app. Any ideas on how to import that so my users can download it?
A generational OS upgrade like Lion to Mountain Lion, or in this case Mountain Lion to Mavericks has never (and still is not) been counted as a software update and hence is not available via Apple Software Update Server.
Even though it is now free it is still done via the App Store. If/when a Mavericks update comes out e.g. 10.9.1 this will only update earlier Mavericks versions so will not help you. However as Mavericks is free for all compatible Macs the following are solutions you should be able to use.
Greg Neagle of Disney Animation Studios and the author of the administration tool Munki, has written another tool called createOSXinstallPkg which will let you take a full operating system as downloaded from the App Store and convert it in to an installer Pkg file which you can 'run' on a Mac to do an operating system upgrade.
See http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/son-of-installlion-pkg/
I don't know if it has been tested or if it will work but in theory it would do Mavericks as well as Mountain Lion. You could therefore (hopefully) use it to build a pkg and push it to your clients via for example Apple Remote Desktop Administrator or Casper or something else.
In terms of bandwidth saving, while as mentioned above a Mavericks upgrade is not available via Apple Software Update Server and therefore running your own SUS will not help, you can run Apple's Cache Server which is another module in Server.app this will cache downloads from the App Store including the Mavericks download and thereafter anyone else requesting it will get it from your local cache.

Adobe does not list what software comes with complete plan
All it says under the "complete" plan for $599 a year is Photoshop, Illustrator, and more..... I specifically need Photoshop for my new PC & After Effects and I can't get a complete list of what is included to save my life! Anyone "join" the complete CS package and can tell me what software is included?
Thanks!Not sure why, but that page (and that phrase) seems to have been confusing several people lately.
e.g. I would like to know what is included in the Complete plan

Consolidate list of Softwares installed in server
Hi
Kindly note that as I have solaris 9/10 installed with no. of softwares like
1. SUN ONE APP SERVER
2. ORACLE
3. MYSQL
4. APACHE WEB SERVER
5. IPLANET WEB SERVER
6. IPLANET PROXY SERVER.
7. NETSCAPE WEB SERVER ........
As in case after long time I want to check which softwares has been installed with path & version no. in that case is there any system file which gives me all consolidated info regarding all softwares/version/path of application or any command or utility is available for extracting this info.You took advantage of another good discussion forum to ask this same question:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=556353
Yesterday's response over there was accurate:
(quoting... )If a piece of software has been installed
without following the Solaris packaging standard,
there is no generic way to get it's location/version.You may just have to keep a written book of how the system is configured.
That would be of value for hardware as well as software.
For software it would be of value for your patching history as well as your application history.
I've heard such a book referred to as a "run book".
You keep it with the system for as long as you ever keep it running. -

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?
I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

How do i update 10.5.8 if my macbook does not show any software updates?
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
HP Driver "Can't install because it is not available from Software Update Server"
Proplem: Can't use my HP Officejet 6500 E709n on my MacBook Pro, even using USB connection. I click on sign, get add printer window showing the HP 6500 printer as USB Multifunction. I select and press 'add'. I get 'setting up ...' window. After a while I get the error window, "Can't install the software for the HP Office jet 6500 E709n because it is not currently available from Software Update Server." Only option is cancel.
HP site says that it supports Mountain Lion and the only way to get the driver is through Apple's Software Update.
Apple's site says Mountain Lion supports HP 6500 printer.
The Windows 7 computer on the netword prints fine to it.
I would really like to get this connected. Does anyone have a clue why the driver is not on the Software Update Server what the fix is?
Thank you for the help.Fantastic, Mene1 & John. Thank you. I deleted the HP Folder, deleted trash, reboot, and reinstalled. USB installed like a charm. Was able to print and scan. I even noticed that the Fax printer came up for both USB and 192.168.1.65. I installed the fax printer for the network and it works great without USB.
However, the network for the printer never showed up in the list. I tried IP option and entered the address. It correctly identified the printer in the "use" field. However, when I click on 'add' is has a window that says, "Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to contact to '192.168.1.65' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?" I choose Continue, and it creates the printer. Printing, it just sits there trying to connect with the printer. Again, the printer is hardwired into my home network and I am using my AT&T U-verse Wi-Fi connection to my MacBook Pro (which works for Fax on the printer).
Any ideas? -
What should I do if my keyboard is not working after updating to new OS Mavericks update?
I have a 13" MacBook Pro that was purchased in January 2014. Recently I installed the recommended updates for OS Mavericks on my computer. I rebooted the computer as recommended and when I went to login lo and behold my keyboard will not function. None of the keys will work so I couldn't even put in my login password to even see what the problem was. Naturally I went to all the apple forums I could, to find a solution and none of them seem to work. I reset the PRAM and SMC and still cannot get the keyboard to function. While under disk utility the keyboard functions just fine. But It will not function in a regular setting. I am very upset and frustrated with Apple as the issue is a software issue with OS Mavericks and Apple has yet to acknowledge a problem, meanwhile this is the second time in less than a month that I've had major issues after downloading Mavericks updates. I hope apple can resolve this issue.
Keep it connected to the Power for a while.
Start up in Safe Mode.

With the new update I am unable to save my work that I have done when using the CS6 software, this is a real problem as I need to be able to save any changes I do. I also can't search files on my USB when I go to file-open while in Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign. Please help as this is a real issue and has only been happening since the new Maverick update.
Thanks, Julia.nirdgirl wrote:
Being that Adobe stopped supporting CS6 a while ago, that is likely not going to happen. They're trying to force everyone to use CC, which I heard is having troubles since Marvericks as well. At least they will get a free Adobe update.
This is incorrect information. Adobe has issued updates for several CS6 products since CC came out, consistent with their official statements that they will continue to support CS6, which they still sell new (though the links are hard to find on their store).
Photoshop released a 13.0.6 update for CS6 on Nov. 7, it would be a good idea to make sure you have gotten the latest version even though a save problem is not mentioned in the release notes. Maybe it'll help anyway. -

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
How do I update my ipad 2 if my OS is prior to 5.0, it does not have the software dropdown
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
1. Go into the iPad's Settings.
2. Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
3. The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
4. Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
5. Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
1. If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
2. Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
3. After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
4. If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
5. After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
6. From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
7. After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
8. After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
