My iMac does not want to update

everytime i want to update my mac and other apps. it would restart but it wont install

It's likely re-prompting you to install certain updates because you haven't told it to ignore them.
By default, Software Update will inform you of any available updates. If you choose to not install them, they'll just reappear the next time you run Software Update.
However, you can tell Software Update to ignore specific updates. This removes them from the list of pending/available updates and it won't re-prompt you to install them again.
Just select the updates in the list and choose 'Ignore Update...' from the Update menu.

My iMac does not boot after update!!!

I have just update my iMac (Intel) with Apple Software update. I have not updated for quite a while and obvious there were a bunch of stuff to update on my mac. However, when the computer requests a restart, my computer simply does not restart at all. I have tried to make it restart from the apple icon, and it still stay on. So I turn it off manually and the problem kicks in. My computer start with the grey apple icon screen and the little progress indicator, but it does not boot into OS X!!! It remains in a blue screen with the mouse pointer.
I restarted it again unplugging everying and nothing changed. Then I tried Disk Repair and it does not help neither. Then I tried to hold the power button while turning it on till I get the loud beep noise and flashy light. The problem stay the same. I do not want to erase my disk...

Interesting. Have you installed any third-party RAM? Is there any possibility that your RAM became loose? Make sure your existing RAM is seated properly.
Have you performed a SMC reset?
Resetting the SMC can resolve some computer issues such as not starting up:
From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Are you able to boot in SAFE mode? If so, you can trouble shoot from there.
Be sure the computer is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

Macbook Air does not want to update to Yosemite 10.10.3

My Macbook Air is running on Yosemite 10.10.2 and I want to update it to the current version of 10.10.3. However, I cannot do that as it is not letting me update anything. When I click on the update tab in the app store, in the left hand corner, it keeps "Checking for updates" and will not allow me to update anything. I can click on the tab to update but nothing will happen. I also need to update my iTunes and it is not allowing me to do so. This is HIGHLY annoying and I have high speed internet so I know it isn't that. Is anyone else having this problem? Please help!

Imac does not want to start up

Hi,
I have just had my logic board replaced by Apple(thanks apple) and have been happy to have my imac back. This morning it did not boot up and stopped on the dreaded blue screen, I look up in these forums for some help and took the advice of Miriam and reset the SMU and hey presto it worked, I cried. Then today the power in the town I live in went off and when it was restored the same thing happened it did not restart. I really do not want to go through the resetting process every time I want to use the computer and so am looking for the necessary guidance from those more knowledgeable than myself.
Thanks

My Nokia 5800 xpressmusic does not want to update

Hey all
When I type in *#0000# it shows my that my phones software is 40.0.005 and the software date is 29-12-2009. So when I go to options and say check update, it asks my do I want to connect? and it will cost normal data call costs. So I say yes like always, but now it says Connection error. so then I go back to options and click sever profiles. I find that there is no info at all. So does anyone know the server settings for Vodacom SA?
Thanks

@cruzer244
If you would like to post the seven digit product code upon label under battery starting with "0" could tell you which is the latest firmware version available for your device. Presumably you have already tried connecting with Nokia Suite installed upon PC?

IMac does not start (after update?)

Seit meinem Update auf OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 startet mein Rechner nach einigen Tagen nicht mehr richtig. Es erscheint meist ein grauer Hintergrund. Stromlos machen und Start mit Wahltaste und Auswahl der Festplatte hilft erst nach mehreren Neustarts. Eventuell habe ich ein Update OS oder Safari oder Java in Verdacht für den Ärger.
Wer hat mir bitte eine Lösung?
Danke
Helmut

Thank you LarryHN,
I could not follow what you have explained to me as I struggled to find iPhoto 9.6. Anyway, while I was struggling, I managed to update iPhoto somehow. Finally, I can use iPhoto!
Thank you very much for your quick response.

HT5457 My iPad does not want to update

My iPad is still on the 5 update what can I do every time I try to update it says my iPad is up to date

The Original iPad can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1

My MacBook does not want to update SW.

When starting iTunes a "Software Update" was offered. I started to run it and almost immediately got an "Installation Alert" message that iTunes application needed to be closed to continue installation. I closed iTunes and the "Software Update" continued - but slowly. After about 10 hours the Software Update is still "runnning package scripts". Also after closing iTunes the "Installation Alert" window was still presnt without any way to close it except "quit installer". This has happened 2 times now. What gives?

Have you rebooted your system and tried Software Update again, before loading iTunes?
If you need to update, the just released iTunes 10.6 release can be downloaded from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426 .

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

How do i remove an Update notification? I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian languages) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPad. I want to be able to "Select All" instead of doing each update individually.

That's quite a title I created! Sorry, I've never submitted a question before! ☺ I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian language stuff) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPhone 4S and iPad 5. I want to be able to "Select All" updates instead of doing each update individually. It's a real pain in the you-know-what. Does anyone know how to I remove this notification (and any other updates I'm not interested in) from the Updates page? Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks so much for your time! I wish you had a more positive answer, but c'est la vie! I hate the fact that I cannot control my apps and feel like a hostage of the developer(s). I've read other forums and some responses were "then delete the app!" Lame answer! So thank you so much for your respectful and insightful reply! Cheers.

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

My phone does not want to come on pass the 'connect to itunes' logo. I have a iphone 3Gs. It happened after I tried to restore it after updating it through itunes on my computer.

My phone does not want to come on pass the 'connect to itunes' logo on the screen. This happened after I was updating the phone software through itunes, and itunes said I needed to restore my phone if it is to work with itunes, which I did. An error (1015) box popped up and... well.... here we are. I have an iphone 3G. The support coverage is expired.
I just want to return to my phone functioning as before.

The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal, so make sure you follow the directions here to update your phone:

iOS 7.0.4 will be installed.
